Light 03:49
Light I think that I thought there was light in you But then I think that I thought that there wasn’t too With hooks for eyes I know it was you You know I thought that with nails And now again I cannot be certain That your thoughts it was that burned out Light I think that I thought there was light in you But then I think that I thought that there wasn’t too And now I cannot be certain of either one Light Light and then you and then nothing at all Light, Wood with nails and Hooks for eyes and then It was nothing then It was you then Light…

Dawn 05:34
Dawn It is dawn, and with it, across the window, eagles in formation fly, against a silver sky. And there I stand, paling, in the light, watching it all, disappearing. Everyone else is already gone. You know I did the same thing, says the giant, in the dark. And I can’t be sure that I say anything at all. That window was my television, but all right, man, I’ll leave you there, he says, and then, disappears in, places within his habi – ta- tion. I find that I am out of doors, back behind, somewhere. It’s back behind the giant’s house crackling ‘round in the cold moonlight. There are darker shapes out there than the darkness, itself, moving through the, darkness and then, becoming one, with it again. I turn around: It is dawn… again. I sit and watch the sun come up, over and over and over and over. Because it is brighter when I have my eyes closed. I close my eyes. I close my eyes. Dawn has arrived. I can tell by the birds. Dawn has arrived.

Emily 04:53
Emily I see big trees, and i see cats I see elephants, and i see rats I see her with me, yeah, i see that Birthday parties and our little spats But you can’t see everything from anywhere I saw clearly what was never there I can’t see anything, but i don’t care I lay my head in this little chair But if one won’t come true, she makes way for two And if one wasn’t right, well two’s outta sight So one made the way, now two can play But two ones make two, and one lives in you It’s like i can know things and then i can’t know things at all But i’ll tune up my strings and i’ll play them to an empty hall I’ll give all that i have, though i know that i won’t get the call I’ll give all that i’ve got – I’ll give it all until i fall down

Free 05:17
Free For Edie Jane – June 4, 2008 Call it a weakness – A ship upon land To wonder what someone might think of your band Make it for nothing – Just ‘cause you can It’s alright to try here right where you stand Right where you stand Free, free In a world without idols or gods you can be Anything you ever thought You can be a maker of marvelous art We shall see It’s a good place as any to start Pay no attention To the popular brand This kind of pollution can damage your band Break it for nothing Just ‘cause you can Sometimes destruction can show where you stand

Silverton 05:17
Silverton Outside of town, by a little mine, the river’s flowing all the time. Mahatma packets fall like rain; Ruth Buzzie’s getting on my brain. Dancin’ while driving; cussin’ out all the passersby. Breakin’ out that BB gun; shoot down the walls, our brains will fry. In Silverton, you can be yourself Maybe live your life; outside your hell You drink all night with yo’ BB gun To be yourself out in Silverton… Dropping down into town; think I’ll scratch off a while. Hike along the mountainside, deep down in the mine we slide. Dancin’ while driving; cussin’ out all the passersby. Breakin’ out that BB gun; shoot down the walls, our brains will fry.

California 08:09
California Caroline wasn’t good enough; everyone could see Made a lie, and the fabric of everywhere had come It’s all right now, it’s okay…everyone lies It’s all right now, it’s okay…everyone lies… In…their…shoes The stars will come shining down as I fall out on my knees in California Here I can stay the same as I was when I was twenty-one I got change in my pockets say I got change in my head I got change in my pockets say I got change in my head… In California Love my sister and my brother too for they are wise Love my friends from long ago; I hate to say goodbye Love my father and my mother though they’ll never know Maybe out to California they might someday go I wonder whether California last forever – That separation is gone away to go astray, and I cannot say but That situation is stronger than a broken man who’s riding on the Sun burns a hole in my heart forever-lasting whether I will see the Day fall away into night

Empty Hall 04:46
Empty Hall She was born In ’23 In a small town In New Jersey She ran away When she was young Took up with strangers In Oregon She met a man And had a kid Got old and died Forever hid But you’d think she’d have told me a story or two about love And you’d think she’d have taught me a thing or two about life But she never said nothing ‘cept nothing ‘bout nothing at all And it was kind of sad, like an empty hall She had no name She made up one She had no photographs No family album She had no school She had no car She had no past No one could scar And I’ll never know Just what happened I don’t know why She had a son

Black Road 04:29
Black Road Where… Where the black road ends The mountain begins Time we will spend Where the black road… Ends The Mountain extends into… Sky The bird is gone; it’s on its own It has over-flown; it’s too… High To start again More than halfway in is a… Lie Lose a turn; crash and burn; Never learn; time to… Die Time to ditch the car; it’s broke down Time to throw the phone Time to leave it all where you found it Time to dig [you] a hole [in the ground] Where… Where the black road ends The mountain begins And time we will spend Where the black road… Ends All of the fountains run… Dry The water’s gone; the bird has flown; Put down the phone; say good-… Bye Time… to… ditch that old the car Time… to… throw away the phone Time… to… leave it all behind Time… to… dig holes in the ground and… To start again…
