I believe we're born good from the start
And we come equipped with a piece of God in our hearts
But the world exacts a hard and bitter cost
And some of us get oh so very lost

Close your eyes
Your heart knows why
And what's the truth

Just beyond my sight, something that I cannot see
I've been circling around a thought that's been circling round me
Like the vapor of a song that is just out of your shot
And I thought I knew the question, but I guess not
There it is just below the surface of
things
In a flash of blue, and the turning of wings
I drain the glass, drink it down, every moment

Just a little hand can be a great big help
It can make a big difference
And there's a better plan than to do this ourselves
There is another point of reference and
I've never known an island
and I've never seen it work that way
I've come to understand
We do the best we can

It's just a good excuse to watch the sun go down
On a gravel pit outside of town
My father had three daughters
So I became his only son

Summertime in Allen County
You can slice the air like bread
Pack up our old Rambler

Let me call you darlin', maybe call you sweetheart
Don't you hate it when they call you Louise
But isn't it scary, when they want to call you Mary
A whore, or a saint, or a tease.
But you came here in summer, you'd been living in Manhattan
You caught me wide eyed and half sane
But you saw to my center past every imposter
And you whispered My True Name

Where do we start
How do we proceed
It's been such a long time
Just to sit here and bleed
It's hard enough to see you
A bit of a surprise
This bittersweet feeling
And the look in your eyes

We have been parted and though we've just started
We've got a lot to learn
Well I've got this feeling I've been trying to stop
I've been waiting for the next shoe to drop
You say "How can you say that" and why do you think that"
"How do you know that it's true"
"Sometimes love can withstand every trial
And sometimes there's only one shoe"

Where I grew up there was more blue than green
You learned to like the spaces in between
Everywhere you go then there you are
No matter how surprising or how far

Some things I'll never understand
How a weary heart can open and expand
Why my soul can only travel in one day

There's stormy seas this side of heaven
No guarantees of reaching shore
Well I'm not perfect and you're no better
But this is something worth fighting for
We got something worth fighting for
It's not enough these hearts and flowers
You build your home on something more
When life gets tough then

Too hot to sleep in this room tonight
Just too restless to try
I've been folding my prayers into paper airplanes
Leaning out the window and watching them fly

Music fills the air
Waiting for something
I know isn't there

I've always had long arms and my sleeves never fit.
And my mother would worry about my dangling wrists and
I never grew to tall, but it did me no harm
To never grow into the length of my arms

What I have embraced, what I've carried for years
Like a bucket of self doubt, like a basket of fears
But we finally cherish what we got from the start

When you look real close you can see real good
You can see the imperfections
Now that we know the crooked and the straight
We can love in real completion
It's a danger to love for tomorrow
It's a danger to love for the better
But if it's not there it's just not there
With the things that really matter

We just can't help it so we do it again
We just gun the gas and let the wheels spin
It's true and I've heard it said
We're not so very far from the back of our heads
And the moon shines high over Tucson
Over waters that were long ago dried
Cause the moon don't care if the water's not there
It's high tide

There's a shifting of the shadows down along the woods
There's an echo of a gun down in the hollow
The neighbor's dog is barking like a wild thing that's been caught

Howling like there ain't no tomorrow
I've walked out on this ridge
And walked the razor's edge

I don't know why
I can't say no
I guess I should
But I can't let go
Any day I'll be all right
But not tonight

But come away from the window and close the blind

Tied up in a bundle is a stack of love letters
From a boy that meant trouble when I didn’t know better
A green cat’s eye marble I won in fifth grade
A schoolyard trophy from the toughest guy I played
I had an old dog that was loyal and sure
She‘s in heaven now and these tags are hers
A picture my daughter drew when she was just four
Of the angel that kissed her the hour she was born

The New York Central Railroad was something in her day
A million tons of coal and steel must have passed this way

The Ghost of some old engineer
Walks this earth and you might hear
While looking down on all those lights
"Could I see your ticket please."
