Good God, is it November?
The leaves burn auburn red
The Asheville skies and timber
Are holding on to it

But I cannot remember
That fleeting hopeful song
That rose of our September

It hasn't rained hard for the better part of seven months
Everyone's listening
All I see ahead of me are glistening lights
This city stays up at night
Droning along like a dissonant song by an amateur symphony
How come I can only tell you I love you when you're sleeping in the passenger seat?
And all the fast cars with the broken headlights
Run the red lights in the canyon

California, California
Know I love you, California
When I leave I know you wait for me
In the sun and in the weather no one else has loved me better
California you're the place for me
Los Angeles, Los Angeles
My heart goes out to you and if
I make it back I'd love to drive around

Charlie, I'll make a deal with you
after which you can do anything you want to
I know I've got the leg up, as you're still only made up
but baby you know I wrote this song for you
don't go kissing boys, don't make a lot of noise
let daddy sing his songs, and be real good
just treat your teachers nice and find a healthy appetite
for what you really, really want to do

Such a long road
Still to travel
Crossing state lines
Pressing gravel
'Neath the tires
'Tween the lines
Spinning wild
Humming loud

Honey won't you please sing another song?
Honey won't you please be gone?
Your sentimental shakedown rattles through my bones
Honey won't you, honey please, move your honey on?

Momma won't you take, take another turn?
Momma when you gonna learn?
Trouble comes to everyone who dares to be a muse

Did you ever think the earth would shake for me once more?
I want to see the sky light up over this city left for poor
Everybody's screaming; no one here can ask what for

And I just can't shake this feeling
That we're outta luck and nothing more
A pound of dust, a holy war
A photograph, I begged and I swore

I ain't one for leaving
But if you treat me wrong
I'll be gone
Gone before the sun goes down
Ain't no going back now
Ain't no coming back around
So long
Long before the sun goes down

hush'd now august
heat in the air
we’re free and now clear
the Russian's upon us
to greet without care
our innocence
on the side of the road
a dandelion mine

we lost the train through old Laredo yesterday
you turned your back on the tracks while I held on to those words you said
let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go whichever way
how dare you run away from all that promise
it's apropos of all the things that we have left behind us, all we'll ever know
just let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go whichever way
your kisses haven't felt like this is honest, your breath is held at bay
wild as the dream I'll never catch and you would sooner chase

Since you've been around honey
It feels just like a cloak has been wrapped around me
and nothing could ever go wrong
Since you've been around honey
it feels like a thousand stones have been lifted off me
and I've never felt so strong
Nobody knows what they should believe
It could be lies

Did someone hurt you many years ago?
Did someone desert you when you needed them the most?
And the pain stayed with you everywhere you'd go,
And it's been so long now but you just can't seem to let it go,
Maybe it's time to tell it you don't need it anymore.
Did you lose someone that you loved?
Did they move far off or do you picture them above?
There's an emptiness inside you and it's worse when you're alone,

the food was as I like it... cold, wet & in that wonderful tin can shape
I had it marked in a paw print on the dog door the day that I finally planned my escape
the milkman, he tried
you can bet I wanted to survive but the truck it just came far too fast
So I write on these scraps, my remembrances past, so you don't blame yourself that I've died
they put horses out to pasture
and the birds come home to roost
ain't nothin' for a puppy but the backyard on the loose

There was a dream
I had it too
You could see it
Coming true

It would travel
In the air
You could make it

The clouds move over Pontiac skies
Their silent thunder matches mine
I know this feeling from long ago
I wonder if it's gone now I know

So when she calls don't send her my way
When it hurts you'll know it's the right thing

This don't feel like home anymore.
Nothing's familiar when I walk through my door.
So I thank the heavens, or who's ever in charge.
This don't feel like home anymore.

I don't feel the pain I once did.
One day it just vanished, like a milk carton kid.
On a rooftop, set free, in a hurricane wind.

You said it just right I never stay
Long enough to fight I just run away
And it's you my love it's you I'm running from

You were mistaken you are to blame
Lately I've taken to getting my own way
Yes, it's you my love it's you I'm running from

The mice tell bedtime stories
Lullabies turned blue
A crib song for the baby who has figured out the ruse

I travelled half way 'round the world to tell a story with no end
The dirt under a nation
Forsaken, on the mend

Your taxi waits on a Gotham night
Your head is hangin' and you still got some fight
You're far away in a lonesome land
You've left behind a lonesome man

A shadow carries over you
I never had a chance to do
The things you wanted

I think I'm going to work construction
just to make something of myself
I can't live off these childhood trophies on my shelf
I want to get my hands dirty
I want to feel a burning in my legs
i want more than a receipt for what I paid
everybody loves something new
'cause you can open it and plug it in

It took me 17 days in the pouring rain and 2000 miles alone
making my way through your kingdom on the wrong side of the road
Eating at the service stations, sleeping in motel rooms
When I leave I'll miss some friends I made, but this time I won't miss you
No and I wont miss these gray skies
That hang over me like fate
Sometimes you think you need something new
then you get it and it's just not the same

K.A Pattengale & J.E.Ryan

Swing low, swing low
for to carry me home
in fire the skies of red.

My breath's gone cold
a kiss from the coal

Mercy come upon us
Mercy let us go
Hold me up just longer
Shine a light on hope

Shine upon what's missing
Shine upon the rest
Calm the winds inside me

I wanted to go there
I wanted to see
I wanted to open
I wanted to be
I wanted to listen
I wanted to sound
I wanted to miss him
I want to be found

beauty, i know, lurks here
right 'round the corner, i fear
dear, you can't be serious
judgement is near
my mind's always gone there
there's trouble here
in these parts that I've found on my own
a solemn and safe little home

Years gone by start to show
I still wait for the door to close
When you go, when you go
I don't know myself anymore

What might have been you'll never know
Time's a thief and stole the show
Long ago, long ago
