Intro (Birth of the Bird) |

Looking out from her bedroom window
I see my life flash right before my eyes
What can I do to make this feeling stay?
What can I do to win over this life?
As for me now I gotta move on
But somehow I gotta keep both feet on the ground
Taking my love and loading it on my back
Leaving her home with my life put up and packed
I'd like to stay here with her for the rest of my life
But I know a part of life is leaving
Oooh I'm gonna miss this girl when I'm gone
I'll be waiting for her for so long
Gotta get back to my life on the mainland
But I'll be thinking for two from now on
Love fills your life in the strangest places
It leaves you with nowhere to hide with the light on
I'm putting my life in her control
So she'll be with me wherever I'm going
Still I'm gonna miss that girl when I'm gone

It's stormy outside
But I got the windows open wide
The sidewalks are muddy tonight
But the shoes I wear are white
I guess you could say I'm unprepared for the weather
But I've been thinking about a girl named Heather
It's twenty degrees
Cold enough for snow skis
But I just stand and freeze
In a shirt with short sleeves
I guess you could say I'm not ready for the cold
But I didn't watch the news, and I wasn't told
I better close up the windows and turn up the heat
I'm not ready for the elements, so I gotta retreat

Follow a dog on a deep summer hill
Follow his will
He'll walk you along where soft blowin'
baby hay fills the fields
You walk through and tickle your feet and your ankles
Each step is a bound in a beat and the sound
Just fills up and guides every breath
We'll follow around and feel we live up to our measure
Under tree canopy we all feel like treasure
Take your shirt off, the sun washes all your skin
Let night begin
The marvelous moon tugs at our worth
The curve of the earth
Lay down still, its soothing
but we're the ones who're moving
Each step is a bound in a beat and the sound
Just fills up and guides every breath
We'll follow around and feel we live up to our measure
Under tree canopy we all feel like treasure

Oooh Mary
Don't you know I want you?
Don't you know I need you?
When spring is cold and the summer's dry
I need you there to tell me why
With you it's new no nothing's old
You help me when the spring is cold
Oooh can I call you mine?
Will you be my sunshine?
Oooh you're the kind
To take away the hazy sky
Ew Mary
You're the one I want, girl
You're the one I need, girl
I tried to write but lost the time
I called you up but dropped the line
Now finally girl I got up the guts
To ask you straight
Oooh Mary, please help me!
Will you be my lady?
Without you I go crazy
Oooh
Can I call you mine?
Will you be my sunshine?
Oooh you're the kind
To take away the hazy sky

Wolves Howling?
Campfires?
Fish frying?
It's Alaska
It's Alaska
Bears roaming?
Not knowing?
Where they're going?
It's Alaska
It's Alaska
I want to ask ya
About Alaska
It's freezing?
Folks sneezing?
When they're reading?
In Alaska
In Alaska
High Mountains?
Frozen Fountains?

Everything that you do
doesn't have to benefit you
There are things that you can do
for other people other than you
Wax your neighbors car for free
Treat your friends at an eatery
Read a story to a child
Let their imagination run wild
Help your mother clean the house
Put the trap out for the mouse
Scrub the tiles now in the tub,
here the brush go "rub a dub"
If you think there's nothing to do
then I got news for you
There is always something to do
now don't you know it's true
There's always something to do,
something to do,
something to do
There's always somebody who,
somebody who needs you
Everything that you do
doesn't have to benefit you
There are things that you can do
for other people other than you
Get up from your lazy chair
Fly a kite up in the air
Exercise is good and fun
Take a jog now take a run
Rescue a cat up in a tree
But watch out for that nest of bees
Change the tire of a roadside stranger,
for all you know, he may be in danger
If you think there's nothing to do
than I got news for you
There is always something to do
now don't you know it's true
There's always something to do,
something to do, something to do.
There's always somebody who,
somebody who needs you.

I remember when your name meant so much to me
When just the sight of you would melt my knees
But now it's been so long
since our love was strong
And now your just another
girl in the wind
There was a time when it was just us two
And the rest of the world could go on doing whatever it wanted to
Then you broke us apart
then you broke my heart
With another man you could start again
and ride off in the wind
I thought I was born just to be with you
To hold your hand as we walked on through
But it wasn't like that at all
you made me feel so small
I don't know if I like you anymore
you can fly off in the wind
Fly off in the wind

When Halloween time comes around
All of the leaves on the trees hit the ground
All of the kids are knockin' on doors
And all of the teenagers drive around bored
It's Halloween
And that's no excuse to be mean
But if you're looking for something different
Go ahead and paint your whole face green
If your a teen, leave the kids alone
Anyhow you should be at home
If you're a kid from the North or South
Don't put to much candy into your mouth
It's Halloween
When a laugh could be like a scream
But be careful, be sure to be safe
'Cause everything isn't what it seems
|

When the sky pales to a gray whine
And the trees turn a sad and dying brown
Get out your warm socks and clothes
Can't afford to leave limbs exposed
In America lives a holiday
A day not like any other day
We give thanks for all we've got
And lament for all we're not
The food, wheeled out smells warm and loving
Carve the turkey, pass the gravy and the stuffing
Sweet potatoes, baked and casseroled
Cornucopia's in the fold
Sleepy restful easy breezy feeling
Peaceful dreaming wheels and fade away...

Up into the deep night
And out past the starlight
Our only Lord lay
And wills the birth of a child
Inside a dusty pen
In the outskirts of Bethlehem
The baby boy, born
A vision of light, holy light
Down in the desert sand
Through drowsy streams and peaceful lands
Three brave men trek
Led by the light of the lord
|

We three kings are marching
Under the big blue sky
We three kings are children
Going to see a child
All along the way we saw desert
streams, forests green
Many strangers we did entertain
We three kings are marching
Under the bright new star
It's new light is guiding
Leading us to the child
Even though are lives are filled with evil deeds, heartless greeds
We know there's forgiveness just the same
We know only he can change the darkest night into light
Forever we'll be thankful that we came
We three kings...

Gonna take my leave
Gonna take my pay
For the new years eve
For the new years day
Going with some friends out to a party
The new years way
Colorful cone hats, silly whistle zaps
And don't forget the schnaps, and the champagne too
Gonna meet a girl by the christmas tree
Well talk about the memories
Then I'll kiss her too
Gonna stay up late
Till the new years day
When the clock strikes twelve
And a new year comes to stay
Gonna twirl around, spin up and down
Gonna dance till I get my fill
Then I'll blow my top on a table top
and say HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I hope your new years great
And though the sorrows they do come
I hope you find a way
Like we did New Years Day

When you coming down?
Been so long since we've seen ya
When you coming round
Don't ya know we really miss ya?
And we'll always have the memories
And we'll always send our cards
But when the road begins to drag us down
We can be lonely then
That's when we need ya friend
yes we do
When you come to town
Leave behind the scenery
We'll be hanging out
Make sure you stop by to see us
And we'll always have epiphany
And we'll always have the stars
But if the wisdom leads you out of town
Remember Bethlehem
Where we began as friends
long ago
If your zooming out
Remember times we had together
If you need an out
Our doors are always open to ya
And we'll always have infinity
And we'll always have our hearts
But if you find your reaching out too far
We'll pull you in again
We're not your only friends
but we'll do

Please, Louise
Folks gather 'round you
Louise, Louise
Just to catch a glance
I'm on my knees, Louise
Geez, I can't seem to leave ya
Louise, Louise
And your legend loomed large
Wanna swim to your island
Watch your waters go down, up, down, up, down
But the trees, Louise
Won't wait to grow around you
Louise, Louise
You deserved a chance

Same ol town
ol ghost town
Same ol faces
Same ol places
Nobody's around
My dog's in the pound
He got caught
Nosing around
Same ol ticka tock
Of the cleeock
Dirty ol shoes
Dirty ol sock
In small town life you know everyone
Like they were pictures on your wall
When you finally get 'round to doin' sumpin
You can always find a way to stall
Ol man Bob
Needs to get a job
Down to the bar again
Whiskey and gin
Went down to the corner shop
Bought myself a lollypop
Mouth full of sugar
Sweet sweet sugar
Ol sweet Lucy
My favorite ol belle
Haven't seen her in a while
Hope she's doing well
In small town life you know everyone
Like they were pictures on your wall
When you finally get 'round to doin' sumpin
You can always find a way to stall
The tax man's a knocking
No money in my pocket
Not even a dime
Now I gotta do the time
The ax man's a chopping
Chopping cedar wood
Like ol Paul Bunyan
Chopping all he could

I used to smile when we'd talk a while
But now I cry in the tub.
You were someone I had to go to
Someone who, in my head, I should flow to.
There was a river that I knew
Carrying leaves through a forest we walked through
I had a hope in my heart before
But it isn't there anymore
And there is an owl that calls tonight
And it will do it again tommorow
There will be a branch breaking
With my hanging hands attached
But I cannot possibly sing as well
As the creature who flew off before it fell
I had an idea like ripened fruit
That has since been so softly blackened
|
| |
The sunflowers are shining in my eyes
As the wheat is blowin
a prayer from the sky
A field near evergreen trees
Is where I bow down to cry
The clouds are cloaking the sun above me
Thunder roars like a lion, mad and free
Electric branches light the world
As the rain weeps along with me
My wipers shriek as I drive
A doomed day lurks in the spiderweb while
The road is wound up at the sleeves
It goes mile by mile by mile by mile
There's a giant in the flatlands
Stalking houses made of clay
He's walking crooked ground
And he's thowing up rain
He's peeking through my window
And it's smeared a milky brown
He's mad because I'm crying
In the lightning, in the lighting
The daisies sway in the wild
They're really undercover secret
missionary spies
As the big man starts to frown
And I drown in my tears of a glad surprise
|

Don't wanna be delayed baby
Don't wanna make you wait baby
This might be our last chance
Every moment we waste
By traffic and phone calls
Might make us miss our window
Fate only helps us so much
We still gotta be in the right place in the right time
I need to be near you, I need you next to me
This run-around faith is alright but clearly a game
You've got your own path laid out
You've got to do your list of things
But our love is suffering
Think what it could be
With mornings and evenings
And no countdown running, we'll lie in the sun

I got a letter sent in the mail
Down to where my baby dwells
All my money in the wishing well
'Cause hopes up 'cause I don't know
Maybe a sweet smell in the air
Will greet her when my note gets there
If something is spooky out in the alley
She might blame it on my words
And send it back and on it a curse
I got curses stacked to sevens
Maybe now I'll break them all
Reverse until I fly or fall
My hopes up but I don't know
She is possibly reading it now
Maybe for a second time
Or does she hear a good old voice
With deep regrets from far behind
My hopes of the rest unknown
