Rest Easy 05:14
Leaving town for somewhere else, where I don't have to hear those same tired voices, it's time to go Mom and dad say not to leave, but I need to be where I have some choices that don't feel old On the bus ride out of town, sometimes leaving feels like going no place, it's all the same I can tell you sure as hell that sitting still will kill me fast as anything that you could name So I'll run until the highways fail then catch a rail upon that luxury liner, out to the sea I'll watch the country roll on past and then at last I'll ask the engine driver, 'Have you seen me?' You think I'm lonesome? So do I, but if I try I might just find a reason, to catch a train I can't understand it well, but far as I can tell, it might be easier to never know your name The city lights are growing bright as I pull out of town tonight Every street a memory I didn't need to hold So set me like a burning thing inside your heart 'til finally you understand completely that I really had to go Rest easy that I know So maybe when they speak my name here, where they came to think that they could know me, they'll wish me well 'Cause there hasn't been a single thing that I could bring myself to say they owe me, as far as I can tell Part of me will always be here, where I found the strength leave here, with the part of me that turned to go If you think I never felt the love for me that you have held, I want you rest easy that I know Rest easy that I know

When you move on, remember this place And that sunlight shining there on your face When you get down on where you came from Try to think of the good times, there must have been some When you move on, but it's bringing you down When it’s the long gone wrong keeps hanging around It ain't no lie, it was only wasted time At the end of the line, at the end of the line Were we really so bad, but were we ever so good? And if we still wanted it right now do you think that we could? Or is it just a bad idea, just a break in a rising tide And if you came to me right now would I notice the lie in your eyes? Started like a heart attack, now you're left the ghost And if it ends right now, at least it went better than most When you get down, and it all seems wasted time Maybe you ain't wrong , but it just ain't right When you move on, remember this place And that sunlight shining there on your face When you get down on where you came from Try to think of the good times, I know there must have been some

Sink & Drown 03:56
What they passed down to me: to sink and drown at sea miles from any shore The revolution came, the revolution left with us standing at the door A root is a forgiving thing, go on take with you when you leave Do you wither when it's gone? Maybe the time has passed, maybe we been innocent or maybe we were wrong Darling, I know you need the rest They should've seen you at your best Trying to move on again, like trying to get gone You got to feeling like the edge of something the whole world rests upon Will you miss it when it's gone, when it's gone? Will you miss it when it's gone? Youth has got a bitter end, you see the time, see the money spent keeping your eyes down So maybe it's time to move on, maybe we could get a better sense gone maybe in some other town Darling, I know you need the rest They should've seen you at your best Trying to move on again, like trying to get gone You got to feeling like the axis that the whole world turns upon Will you miss it when it's gone, when it's gone? Will you miss it when it's gone? And like a leaf that falls, I waver on any wind that blows my way And to forget it all, as the time moves on, has always been my way What they passed down to me: to sink and drown at sea miles from any shore The revolution came, the revolution left with us standing at the door

Remembrance 03:54
We were hell on wheels when we were young enough for romance We shot pistols into hillsides, we threw caution passing postcards ‘til black and white got colorized and faded 'round the edge as we moved on Now they you say you see it technicolor, right there at the surface but those old movies hold a hue makes recollection worthless If I try and see it clearly then i realize we just never gave it thought I've been thinking that nostalgia's just another word for, 'I can't quite remember why we ran' I've been hung up on the road blocks cross the paths into my memory of a time based on 'we shouldn't, but we can' without a plan, or bird in hand With my daughter on the back porch singing show tunes to her hairbrush the past can only turn to that for which I could not care less So do I really miss the time or miss what time has turned the time into? Maybe I should try to cut it loose and live inside each moment and every minute of remembrance is a minute bound to torment But I still think I love that time for being of a time when I met you I been thinking 'good old days' might be another way of saying that I can't see the forest for the trees Bifocal vision clears the view, but it splits it into two: down there the past, up who I came to be but maybe it's all part of me, a part of me So maybe recollection is just another word for 'I still see the the place that we came from' And though I try to see you clearly here with every passing moment there's a memory there that shaped who we've become from where we've begun, to now

Oh My 03:48
Did something catch you by the eye when you were down and did it get worse when the circus came to town? And do you long to leave when the train gets bound for the place where the lonely whistle goes to ground? Oh my, hear that sigh when his name gets spoken now Sadie, can you hear it when the wind cuts through the stone? That high lonesome, callin' when you're all alone? And does his mother know where his soul has flown, does the river runs swift, does the green grass grow? Oh my, I hear that cry when it cuts you to the bone You came down on the hurtin' side, waitin' for the other shoe to prove you right Stand on the pavement, count out the time, we all know you tried and tried Sadie, did your eyes light when you held him in your arms? And what was it got you thinking he was something you could keep from harm? Do you hear his voice when the soft wind blows, whispering a secret that the mountain knows? Oh my, did you die inside when they laid his body home? You came down on the hurtin' side, waitin' for the other shoe to prove you right Stand on the pavement, count out the time, we all know how you tried and tried Fall into the water now, down where the broken hearts go to drown Cover up your eyes to block out the sun, would it ever mean anything to anyone?

Do you know where you been, where you been, where you been? If it don't feel like home yet just pretend Have you been round the bend, or are you on the mend my friend? If you ain't feeling better, just pretend You don't have to call me, if you don't feel like talking now They’ve run all the numbers, think they got you figured out I know tryin' to get by has got you feeling down But I'll see you on the other side Underneath the rolling pine Come together in our time, hold the line, hold the line Sing together in a little while Went looking for a line and landed on a borrowed rhyme Sometimes that's the best that we can lend I been making time, to hold close to what was mine Hope it comes out better in the end You don't have to call me, if you don't feel like talking now They’ve run all the numbers, think they got you figured out I know tryin' to get by has got you feeling down But I'll see you on the other side Underneath the rolling pine Come together in our time, hold the line, hold the line It’ll be alright Do you know where you been, where you been, where you been? If it don't feel like home I understand Have you been round the bend, or are you on the mend my friend? If it don't help then I can understand

There were years between the breaking wave and undertow When every spoken word was underlined And you were bothered by the things you could not know - so you got over it in time And last night you dreamed that she was gone again and in a house you did not know you climbed the walls And when they asked how did you shake the feeling of the wrong? You just got over it is all What does it mean to really need a thing? Someone else, or just a guitar and a song to sing? And can you ever get it back again, when it's gone on? What set you to burning? Are you finally learning now what she's about? With what sets you alight Was it worth the fight to finally know without a doubt? It's still far from figured out Every song's another question that you fought at night and you lost sleep debating every line And you never found an answer that'd sit quite right - so just decided you were fine So it's been a while since you first caught her eye but lately you've seen they still catch the light And there's the girl of twenty-one behind 'em still and you ain't bothered by the night

Once we were just others on another's arm and lovers in our heads 'til we woke to find our legs and arms tied up in cotton thrown across the bed So many missed appointments, we've been tearing our own reputations down But why anyone would leave this house is something I can't get my head around ‘Cause we weren't always built for open minds and hearts but this love was made for bursting at the seams I was made to follow you down, without asking what it means Maybe we're both hedging bets to hold against the winter months ahead And I could be accused of holding on to fantasies invented in my head But if it's all inside my mind, don't let me know until the snow is gone 'Cause if it's a lie to live inside, with you, it is the sweetest lie I've known I think I was made to love you from the start right to the end and all the years that come between If I'm wrong, don't wanna be right, and I won't learn a thing 'Cause we weren't always built for open minds and hearts but this love was built for bursting at the seams I was made to follow you down, without asking what it means I was made to follow you down, without asking what it means

Like the Sea 04:18
Here with you, love is like the sea and the ebbing of the tide will sweep you far from me Where your arms stop holding me and the turning of your heart makes clear what you mean Well you say, 'I got better things to do than wait for you to find your way' As you lay, on the bed where we were lovers once, and future kings and queens all that we surveyed Your head hanging down as you lie back and sigh, saying, 'I could try... but in the time that it would take me to explain, you're gone again.' The walls that stand around me, love are nothing but a space in which I held you up Where you stayed with me for a time and whispered all the broken parts that made you mine Where I said, 'From the kitchen to the bed might be the only place I ever need to go' And the corners of your mouth, turned to north from south, and I counted it a win, though I guess I had to know You were counting down the days, you were adding up the ways, and marking time, so you could make an honest claim that you had tried, before it died So you say, 'I got better things to do than wait for you to find your way' As you lay, on the bed where we were lovers once, and future kings and queens of all that we surveyed Your head hanging down as you lie back and sigh, saying, 'I could try... but in the time that it would take me to explain, you're gone again.' I know you, you are like the sea and the ebbing of the tide will sweep you far from me

Sandstone 03:56
When the last parcel gets sold, and the man from Wichita gets the keys to our homes Will California come to us though our hearts might break if we watch it? Will this be here when these kids grow old, and the mountains where we loved are just the rocks a man owns? Ain't it funny how a trail goes cold where nobody can walk it? So take a walk into the river Drink the water down for every lie you bought when we thought that we had time When gone for good is gone forever When they start to regret, don't let 'em forget that we knew this wasn't right But we thought that we had time I remember lying on sandstone, with nothing overhead but the sky Now we can't see the stars with the city lights bright in our eyes So take a last hard look at the beauty they took, when you see it does it sting in your eyes? Or with the future getting too dark to take are you believing the lies? I remember lying on sandstone with you wearing nothing but the stars in your eyes Now we can’t see the sky with the neighbors’ light bright in our eyes Not a damn thing funny about the deal that we took, trading futures on our fears of hard times And I couldn't tell you darling from here should we be laughing or crying So take a walk into the river Drink the water down for every lie you bought when we thought that we had time And some are satisfied, not me, not you, ‘cause we never believed the lies That we knew this wasn’t right, but we thought that we had time We had time...
