- Lonesome Soul
Fifteen years and a river of fears since I rode that train from Richmond
Hear that whistle blow and I think about you
Worked my hands ‘til they’re hard as the land and my face has born the seasons
Every river here is clear and blue
Oh my my
I am a lonesome soul
Chasin’ your shadow wherever I go
- Share The Day
Went downtown yesterday mornin’ with a shadow on my face
Dirty hair, shoulders bare, felt like a disgrace
My love was gone for good, I wanted to forget
Barkeep grinned, said come on in, and pushed in a cassette
There was just one man up at the bar, his drink was almost dry
Pulled up at his side, said, barkeep, bring us two more rye
Scratched his grayin’ head, said thanks son, boy you look like hell
- Stop That Train
On a beach, Alamander diggin’ down in the sand, lookin’ for a letter from the Rio Grande
Mayor of the coconuts, exiled king, framed by the trapezoid of poison sting
Black cloud twinkle in the southern sky, palm tree rattle with the cockatoo’s cry
“Unite, you nightshades!” the march begins, coconut milk dissolves all sins
Gathered at the station for the final call, baobab trees all ready to fal
Conductor monkey raises up his gourd and says… All aboard!
- Wishing Well
When I heard your voice for the first time, I didn’t know you were singin’ our story
I should’ve known, but I’d never lived that song
Crickets chirpin’ in time when we shared that evenin’ glory
And I sure am lonesome now you’re gone
Those dragon clouds up in the sky don’t give a damn, don’t wonder why
We sang the same words in the same key, but yours was a different melody
I don’t know where this train goes, but it’s the one I wish you chose
