Shadows in the Sunshine Shadows in the sunshine, watching leaves blow bye. Lying in the front yard, leaning on your side. Money in your pocket, isn’t worth a dime. Sitting on the fencepost, losing track of time. Hey. Drive me away from the phonecalls and radio stations Life from traffic and cars. Pickin’ pears from pear trees, cooling in the shade. Lying in the garden, sippin’ lemonade Time just goes, like a breeze through your clothes The song we sing, we learned late last spring. Hey. Drive me away from the phonecalls and radio stations Life from traffic and cars. Shut up, Get Up, Get Out

Heavy Feels 04:52
In the morning In the evening I’m gonna lay you out If it feels right Let it feel right I’m gonna feel you out You can have me, you can have me You can lay me out You can take me , you can take me You can take me out Heavy feels, I feel them now Oh amazing, oh amazing All the loose ends I pulled out If it feels right Let it feel right I’m gonna feel you out You can change me Rearrange me You can cut and paste me out You can train me You can tame me But the loose ends I pull out Heavy feels, I feel them now I said “you can feel you live lonely” You said “talk is cheap”, but you’re talking… I’ve been there, right there, where you’re standing… I look left, I look right I look through you Heavy feels, I feel them now

What is Promise? Now listen up my brown eyed baby. Your heavy eyes of they weigh me. Anchored me down but tey saved me With the love the love the love they gave me We’ll figure it out, we’ll figure it out now I want you only in my life starting right now If you feel what i feel now signing all these question that i have for you now. (sing it) What is love? what is promise? To be your man? to be your slave? What is love? Can it promise? To be your man? to be your slave? This home is only a home and my heart your skipping stone You wanna live and see the sights. You’ll count the days, i’ll count the nights Next thing you know we’re hangin ‘round. Life passed you bye and you don’t mind ‘cause im around, ‘Cause what you feel is what i feel now signing all these question that i have for you now. (sing it) What is love? what is promise? To be your man? to be your slave? What is love? Can it promise? To be your man? to be your slave?

Don't Change 03:09
Don’t Change Don’t change baby don’t change 3 feet tall, 2 feet wide at 85 beats per minute It tics and toks with the clocks with or without you in it So take this stone and skip it far away across an ocean ‘Cause you can’t throw a feeling, a memory, or emotion Don’t change baby don’t change And in the morning and in the evening when I can’t seem to find A fish to reel, some thing to feel, some knot to unwind And as i move and you move and we’ll move far away I hope you look on back to me as I do today Don’t change baby don’t change

Say You Is 03:46
Say you is What a man what a man what a man I am she says You can call me baby maybe when I say you is I said, what a man what a man he is I said, you can call me baby only if i say you is Im a comb my hair and slip into something new You got heavy feels mine are heavy too. There’s a million ways to say you want me Not a million ways to say I do If i wasn't made of stone. You would break me in If I wasn't made of stone. You would take me in Heavy, heavy hands on my way to you I’m a be your man if you say I do There’s a million ways to say you love me But none of them when push comes to shove me If i wasn't made of stone. You would break me in If I wasn't made of stone. You would take me in Behind the eyes that blink that think for someone else Behind the heart that beats and bleeds for itself Behind my photograph beyond my open door I don’t think i want you for myself If i wasn't made of stone. You would break me in If I wasn't made of stone. You would take me in

2020 Seeing signs go everyway walking down the city i know Street lights light the way but I can’t even see the road my feet are walking fast or maybe they’re walking too slow These days days are running past oh i know what I know yeah you know. I get high, i get low. Oh I’m making up the words as I go Yeah I get high i get high i get low Some days are moving fast, oh some days are moving so slow. My chest it beats so fast, oh doctor i want you to know Everyday eats me away and my teeth only show when I grin. My eyes no surprise call it out let it out let it in I get high, i get low. Oh I’m making up the words as I go Yeah I get high i get high i get low I was adrift in a sea of confusion, I rode a wave all the way to the shore. I leave the light on to see what I’m doing, oh I know I know you know.

Bye Bye Blue 03:00
Bye Bye Blue The look on her face in the morning The look in her eyes they’re so blue I stare at the stars when she’s talking She stares at the moon ‘cause it’s blue She’s got fangs, she’s got claws, but the worst of it all she is a woman. She spits on the world ‘cause it’s turning She looks at the blue ‘cause it’s blue She laughs at the sun ‘cause it’s burning She looks in the mirror for a view. She’s got fangs, she’s got claws, but the worst of it all she is a woman. Bye bye blue. She’s got fangs, she’s got claws, but the worst of it all she is your woman.

This could be the day May your arms be open May your family live long May your words be spoken May your songs be sung May your life have meaning May your worries be gone (Because) This could be the day that the tide won’t pull away We’re waking up and thinking ‘bout moving on and singing out Forget the tie tied ‘round our throat and the car keys ‘round our throat Worn it all through thick and thin. Played a game we’ll never win. Our 9 to 5 day. Monday through friday We’re all lookin for something but can’t seem to find it Our dreams and visions, like city pigeons We’re standing our ground but can’t seem to find it Our indecisions. Paid politicians, they’re beating us down but we don’t wanna take it. On the tip of our tongue now, but we can’t get the words out. Can we search for that something if we can’t define it? Our 9 to 5 day. Monday through friday We’re all lookin for something but can’t seem to find it Our dreams and visions, like city pigeons We’re standing our ground but can’t seem to find it This could be the day it all burns down and dust just blows away...

Here Comes A Man Hey, I’ve seen your face before. I don’t recall your name. You’re looking at me too long through a glass of champagne I’m a greyhound heading at ya makin’ all the stops. I’m a loosening my collar. I’m a drinkin on the rocks. But the man right next to ya. Who is that man? Is he making you happy? Doesn’t look like he can. So I’m a walk right to ya. Gonna pass that man. My eyes wide open. Here comes a man. Here I come. Who’s swimmin’ on your shoulder given you a try? I’m a callin’ you over. Throwin’ you a line. I’m gonna walk right to ya. Gonna grease that pan. I’m gonna call you my woman. You’re gonna call me man. I’m not chasin’ you out there. I’m only bringing you in. So long as you are out there I’ll let you in. Here comes a man. Here I come...
