i remember meeting pilgrim such a good friend can be hard to find
never judge me .. only love me .. bring me voice when i can’t find mine
change my mind so many times now i’m not sure that i’m just one guy
but you prove it, you don’t lose it, peace and strength when i can’t find mine
it felt more like a reunion on the day that you and i first met
i was lonely, you took pity, told me things i cannot forget
said: there are questions only men ask, there are answers only women know
said: the truth is ever changing learn forgiveness ‘for you get too old
said: people don’t know why they’re lying can’t you love them as you love the truth
said: trust in love and trust in nature let the spirit be the living proof
i feel guilty for no reason in my country madness takes the throne
total fear, no imagination, a church of bad faith where the old one grown
yet i see you in the darkness looking just like the first time we met
ferney halo silver grey glow spirit leads me i will not forget

Vitality
08:40
|

it’s a feeling i don’t welcome .. but it’s coming on anyway
seems like every time i meet it .. got a little bit less to say
i can’t stand the questions .. but i ask them anyway
easy never came easy to me
must life be this way ? life must be this way
never a soft feeling i’ve known
is it unison or harmony ?.. or some weird in-between?
i sense dissonance in symmetry .. do you know what i mean?
there’s a tension in my radar, .. in the colors of the day
is there meaning in that tension or is life just that way?
seek vitality of tenderness and apply it to my self
in a gentle conversation with someone i love very much
never a soft feeling i’ve known
my heaven is a blandness
a stillness of the mind
even hidden right in plain view
it’s still so hard to find
yet they find it in Los Angeles
where the dream is as wet as rain
and they find it in old virginia
where the song remains the same
how it used to make me jealous
now it kind of turns me on
let the feeling be so spacious
that there’s room for everyone
into the feeling unknown
theres a sickness in my country
i can feel it in my heart
and i know i am a part of it
though i keep myself apart
plese don’t let them outlaw silence
that is where peace likes to grow
let vitality of tenderness
live with all that we don’t know
into the feeling unknown
never a soft feeling i’ve known

King of Fools
03:21
|
|||
ferdinand, a human devil walking among men
filled up with the greedy lust to own up all the land
he cut their bellies open thinking they had swallowed jewels
when he saw the blood flow upon the naked ground
do you think he knew?
he was the king of fools
i might know how he felt
for i saw the madonna in a little southern town
she could move like fire yet she wore an earthly gown
when i looked into her eyes, i knew i was lost
i had wasted all i tasted and there i sat:
fat, dumb, bloated
the king of fools
now i watch them fighting over the womb of the earth
spilling blood for proverbs that they neither side deserve
and i see a couple children fighting over toys
how long must they die and die and die to satisty
the king of fools

The Priestess

i would gladly sit right here all night
just to find out what is keeping you so quiet
charlie .. tell me .. let me in on what’s got you checked out
cause the vibe right here weighs 100lbs
i think this is something we should talk about
let go .. let’s go .. let’s go talking deep into the night
i could introduce you to my friend
she’s the one i turn to when i feel this way
arcane maiden opens up the shutters of my heart
at first it hurts and then it’s so sublime
and i wonder why i don’t do it all the time
but if you’re like me you wait until it gets too hard to bear
and i’ve been there
take for instance just the other week
parked on Rugby, sleeping in the Odyssey
my heart woke me told me to get up and start the van
i said heart come on it’s one a.m.
but i wanted her to know that i was listening
highway 95, pink moon all the way to providence
charlie i‘m not sure what else to say
do you know i love you and i know you’ll be o.k.?

A Kiss
04:41
|
|||
taking longer than i need to figure my self out
finding out i’m better off alone
this could be the happiness that people talk about
this could be what they mean by home
in the Pedernales River i give back all my tears
go back home and sleep with my guitar
i love my self so deeply know i finally can forgive
my self for thinking i could do no wrong
i can’t live another day beneath such guilt and shame
even though i know i have done wrong
watching big religions vanish like a flame
let’s learn forgiveness before the teachers gone
truth without it’’s music
breath without it’’s lung
see them argue ‘til the face turns blue
i thought you could see the system as clear as you see me
now i wonder ; did i ever see you ?
finding out the fire in my soul is very real
and it can burn up sickness like a dream
all this secret information written in a kiss
and given by the one who would kiss me
i know what to do now
as a great man once proclaimed
in a way i always knew this day would come
no one said it would be easy
but come to think of it
no one said it has to be hard

beauty is
wanting to
be what you
really are
i woke up
with the wind
wanting to talk to you
to ask you
what is the wind
you might say
it’s directions
sometimes when i’m alone
beauty is
wanting to
be what you
really are

2 Lovers
03:34
|

can you remember the time you were feeling so fine
riding so high unafraid you would die
do you dare to feel so good again ?
while sharing a joint with the cook from the bar
i’m reminded that we are all part of each other
as i’m inside this life we live
so you’re inside this life we live
and being so deep in this life that we’re living
it’s like i’m inside of you, you are inside of me
i won’t tell if you won’t tell
we were only two lovers and now i can see that
i felt like a brother, a father, a son and i wonder now
was that wrong ?
or i wonder is that how it goes ?
each time i think of or hear her name
i am reminded that i made a promise last saturday
not to shun my heart again

The Light
03:23
|
|||
it came to me on the first of spring
love no one beyond the one you see
and there she stood right in front of me
and i felt something that i can’t describe
like the first time feeling of a touching light
like the first ray shining through an endless night
and i remembered why the music is good
and i felt the sun shining out of my hood
i felt good like i knew i should
so i crawled back underneath the van
to change the gasket on the oil pan
and i flashed back to a former life
i was the mother of two and a pilot’s wife
and i felt something that i can’t explain
as i watched the children running out of the rain
a love so much it was close to pain
and that i flashed me back into my current life
where the radio said “a cure for death”
well i won’t line up with all the rest
i like the way i was designed
and i wanna find out what’s on the other side

A Prisoner
03:39
|
|||
i’m a prisoner
i’m a prisoner in my own heart
once my soul was free
and one day soon will be
once it leaves me
i’m a prisoner in my own heart
it took this long to find
a clear spot in my mind
o what wasted time

Friend That Helps
02:35
|

i can hear the wind whippin’ through your cell phone
walking from the train back home
man, you sound just like you did a couple weeks back:
buddy are you doing alright ?
can you tell me ‘bout the pressure that you’re under
do you think i’d understand
does the terror ever give away to wonder
something you could hold in your hand
i wish there was something i could do to help you
but i know it’s all on you
i’d love nothing more than to take on your pain
but that is something i can’t do
i remember how the four of us would sleep in
living in a tent in your room
we were living life as natural outlaws
living by the light of our truth
art was easy as the early morning air flow
didn’t need to know what came next
heart was like a loving cup, a living promise
morning after beautiful rest
you took me into your home
showed me a real good time
how could i ever hope to repay you?

Walking II
04:07
|

life was good to me when it took me to your front door
walk down telegraph, smoking cigarettes, trying to stay warm
love don’t leave me now i need you somehow
i can’t lose you
yet i’m still terrified that if i light the light i might hurt you
you might think that i’m acting like a child - i don’t blame you
but inside it’s real something i must deal with every day now
don’t know why that i am such a sorry man but i’m changing
and i’d rather die than to live in a lie of my creation
walk down telegraph , on the angels path, halleluja
as my father would say, if you love something, set it free
well, i love my song .. i love my life .. must i leave them ?
if it’s what i must do to get back to you , that’s what i’ll do then

Nona

she makes a simple move
she plays a simple song
she says a single thought
and i am lost
nona
in a strange land i was holding her hand
walking down a hill
walk me back until i touch that time
i can touch it in my mind
in my mind
nona
i reached out and touched her arm
through the lithium
i feel i touch it still
walk back until i touch that time
i can touch it in my mind

Yea O Dog Mind
05:05
|
|||
with five women in the field
with two children at her heels
woke me from my mountain bed
chased the sleep out of my head
wrap her arms around my chest
lift my heart out of its nest
has it really been four years?
do you think that i have changed?
never thought it’d get so strange
tell me what that mushroom’s called
show me how the patterns fall
pluck the spider from my hair
calm now dog mind just stay there
if i’d let my heart go free
if i listen to it speak
would i be in providence?
once again now what’s that tree?
yea o dog mind let me be
can’t you see that this is life?
must you draw me back inside?
how’d it ever come to be?
heart has gone a world from me
did i ever have a choice,
once i heard the golden voice?
maybe if i call it back
maybe if i held its hand
maybe if i didn’t move
maybe if i smiled more
maybe if i smiled more
yea o dog mind come with me
there is still so much to see
three days in the valley wide
but i can see the other side
