Your Well
03:30

I saw my reflection on the surface of the water of your well. And boy did I look happy, and you called me, I belonged there, I could tell. So I waded in your water, warm spring water.
With a smile you swam beside me, you embraced me, turned you gaze up to the sky. And my skin was so thirsty, your warm body, and the sunlight in you eyes. And as our hearts beat stronger, we submerged slowly.
The joy of going under, refreshing water, your stone well wall held us near. But who were you really, what was down there, could I make my home here? We had to know the answers, so we swam deeper.
The water it grew colder, it grew darker as we traveled further down. And seven miles under we realized there was no turning around. The warmth of your body, there was no bottom. Your mystery is endless, I'll never know you.

Warm My Soul
01:40

Let the sun warm the sky, and let the sky warm the air, and let air warm the earth, and let the earth warm my body,
Let my body warm my mind, let my mind warm my spirit, let my spirit warm my soul, warm my soul, warm my soul.
There's a song that we sang, from the mountains together, but on account of weather, we couldn't sing it forever,
And all the good times we had, when there was nothing to it, and the ways that we blew it, and the ways that we got through it,
And I want you to be, who you are when you're dreaming, who you are when you're drinking, but without all the drinking,
You're so bottled, you're so scared, and you're waiting for something, so that you can be happy, but you're waiting for nothing,
A train riding off of the tracks. A treasure slipped right through the cracks. I'm cold and I still want you.
So let the sun warm the sky, and let the sky warm the air, and let the air warm the earth, and let the earth warm my body,
Let my body warm my mind, let my mind warm my spirit, let my spirit warm my soul, warm my soul, warm my soul.

Travelers and Wanderers

I got love hangin' off my sleeve
I carry it around like a bag of bees
Honey sweet but those bastards sting
Maybe I shoulda bought you a ring
Or maybe I shoulda left long ago
Time'll go by and I'll never know.
A traveler moves on and a wanderer does the same
Storm is getting stronger, but God knows we need the rain
There's a whole lot a joy, and a whole lot pain
And every now and then, they are one in the same
We met up 'bout five months later
We made love on an elevator
Are we goin up, or we goin down?
I don't know baby, don't make a sound
And don't ask me those kinds of questions
Those are too complicated to mention
And if all we got are these memories
Then lay them on me baby please
A traveler moves on and a wanderer does the same
Storm is getting stronger, but God knows we need the rain
There's a whole lot of joy, and whole lot of pain,
And some of the time they are one in the same
A traveler moves on and a wanderer does the same
Storm is getting stronger, but God knows we need the rain,
There's a whole lot of joy, and whole lot of pain,
And most of the time they're one in the same

Questions
01:42
|

Is there such a thing as love that never fades and never grows cold slowly? Will there ever be a time for me when I have answered all my questions? I keep seeking as the seasons slip by surely. Will I ever know beyond the shadow of doubt that I have found her, and forever she’ll be mine and mine only? Will I find the one that waits for me and has the power to complete me, and if I do will my heart be open? Can I find the truth through all this strange exasperation? Am I patient? Am I too goddamn patient? She was my first love, but then again I’ve loved so many things, I know, I hope, I pray there’s something deeper. Cut this scar again, I hardly feel it any more, I want the real thing, want you flowing through my veins for now, for always. Will you be the one that pulls it out of me, and I won’t have to try, and I can lose myself inside your eyes forever? Helpless to resist your call, gladly yours, heart soul and all.

Lost and Found

Well it ain't about somethin'
It sure ain't about nothin'
So give me the gumption to do
To do somethin' about out
Cause I'm lost without it
And loosin' it's findin' it too
If ain't about one thing
It must be about another
And I tell you brother, I'm through
Well it's a love like no other
A child for his mother
I'm growed up, and I'm leaving you
There's a time for believin'
The time times come for leavin'
And my heart's been theivin' so long
So I'm off the new places
New songs with new faces
I better be gittin' along
Well it ain't about somethin'
It sure ain't about nothin'
So give me the gumption to do
To do somethin' about out
Cause I'm lost without it
And loosin' it's findin' it too
