“Song Of The Seasons”

Looking through a wavy glass window
In this old place by the lake
In the colors of the falling leaves
I see that nature makes no mistake

In the water as it ripples in the wind
There’s a message I see of what’s to come
In the honkers flying low above the waves
That’s the reason this song is sung

Song of the seasons coming through me now
Like the wind in your hair
We’re so together in the way that we feel
That we could wind up anywhere

Looking through this clear vinyl window
At the city and its lights
Masked people walking everywhere
It’s humanity in my sights

From over there I see you waving at me
I feel the lightness in your step
I see the flicker of your loving eyes
In the stories that our love has kept

Song of the seasons coming through me now
Like the wind in your hair
We’re so together in the way that we feel
That we could end up anywhere

I see the palace where the queen still reigns
Behind her walls and lonesome gates
The king is gone now and she remains
I feel her banner’s rippling in the rain

Here in this water as it gathers now
Upon the road, the horses gait
In the rhythm that I feel somehow
In the melody I play

Song of the seasons coming through me now
Like the wind in your hair
We’re so together in the way that we feel
That we could end up anywhere




“Heading West”

When I was a little boy
Pulled my wagon all through the town
Went fishin’ at the mill
Got home before the streetlights came on

Out behind my house
I used to go back to the railroad track
Put my ear down on the rail
Listen for the train to come back

I was almost in my teens
Mom and Daddy went their separate ways
My brother stayed when we left that day
Heading west to find the good old days

Good old days, good old days
Headin’ West to find the good old days
Riding with mommy in her little car

Sometimes it feels alright
Livin’ in a western town
Mommy got me my first guitar

Good old days, good old days
Headin’ West to find the good old days
Mommy got me my first guitar
 
 


“Change Ain’t Never Gonna”

Ten men working had to get a new job
Try to save the planet from a fuel-burning mob
Who turned on everyone for being so controlling
Taking away all the freedom they’ve been knowing

Yeah, the government said they had to get new cars
Picked those fuel-burners and they went to Mars
They turned on everyone for being so controlling
And taking away the freedom that they had always been knowing

Change ain’t never gonna come
They sang that together and they rose as one
Take on the great conspiracy if you don’t
Try to stop them from living as they’ve always been living

Ten men working had to get a new job
Save a throwaway tool from an old corncob
Left behind by a farmer that killed for growing
That bad yellow fuel with the economy slowing



“Canerican”

I am American, American is what I am
I cast my vote and now I got my man
Out on the range, I see the changes coming to this country
I am American, American is what I am

(American)

I am American, American is what I am
I was born in Canada, came south to join a band
Got caught up in the big time, traveling through the land
Up on the stage, I see the changes coming to this country
I am Canerican, Canerican is what I am

I am all colors, all colors is what I am
Stand beside my brother for freedom in this land
Out on the range, I see the changes comin’ to this country
I am all colors, all colors is what I am

(American)

I am American, American is what I am






“Shape Of You”

This ain’t just a paint-by-numbers
I gotta be who I feel
When I think of the shape of you

You changed my life for the better
Wore my love like your favorite sweater
That brings me back to the shape of you

Shape of you, shape of you
Shape of you

No reason to pretend different
It’s just that I’m still dreaming
And my dreams all have you
The shape of you

Yeah, I’m older now, but I’m still dreaming
The sky is what I believe in
Stars scatter in the shape of you

Yeah, you’re in my Milky Way
That’s really all that I can say
When I think of the shape of you

Shape of you, shape of you
Shape of you

Shape of you, shape of you
Shape of you




“They Might Be Lost”

I’m waiting for the boys to bring the truck in
They should’ve been here by now
It’s way past 4:20 and I’m sitting waiting
For the boys to come get the goods

It’s loaded on the porch all ready to go
She wants to know where they are
Looking for the headlights coming through the trees
I’m standing here waiting on the porch

They’re coming down the highway, just made the turn
They called to let me know
She’s asking me again and the smoke that I burn
Keeps taking me to the old days

Well, the jury is out on the old days, you know
The judgement is soon coming down
I can’t quite remember what it was that I knew

I’m waiting on the headlights to come through the snow
The weather’s changing, you know
They should’ve been here about an hour ago
She says that’s what she thought
But I can’t see ’em and that’s all I know
I wonder if they might be lost





“Human Race”

Today no one cares
Tomorrow no one shares
Because they all will be gone, but the children
The children of the fires and floods
Children of the fires and floods

Who’s gonna save
The human race?
Where are the children gonna run and hide?
The children of the fires and floods
From the fires and floods
Today’s people have left behind
Today’s people

Who’s gonna tell
The children of destiny
That we didn’t try to save the world for them?
The children of the fires and floods
The human race is on
We’re all lined up at the starting gun
The crowd is rising to its feet

Who’s gonna save
The human race?
Where are the children gonna run and hide?
The children of the fires and floods
From the fires and floods
Today’s people have left behind
Today’s people

Child like a flower
That rose and fell
Back to the earth as it turned to hell
Today’s people
From the flames and the waves
Today’s people have left behind
Today’s people
Today’s people
Today’s people
Today’s people





“Tumblin’ Thru The Years”

Well, I was walking down the road one step at a time heading home
I was thinking ’bout the love we shared, you and me

It’s a complicated thing, this life
If I wasn’t here with you
Tumbling through the years without our love

Many days and many nights fly by as we go on our way
And we have our old friends and new by our side

It’s a complicated thing, in our hearts
There’s a place that they can find
Tumbling through the years without our love

On the road ahead, my friend, our love is the guide we need
It takes us all the way back home to the light

It’s a complicated thing, this life
If I wasn’t here with you
Tumbling through the years without our love
Tumbling through the years without our love
Tumbling through the years without our love
Tumbling through the years without our love





“Welcome Back”

Gonna sing an old song to you right now
One that you’ve heard before
Might be a window to your soul I can open slowly
I’ve been singing this way for so long
Riding through the storm
Might remind me of who we are
And why we walk so lowly

For the world has closed us in
We might still allow for changes to be made
In a way of times right now and as we grow together

Before your computer turns on you
And walking through the garden
You remember something that you’ve been through
And mingle with the stars in the sky
Stars in the sky
They only know that we see them there
Stars in the sky
They watch us grow and see how we are
(Stars in the sky)

Clouds on the sun that save your skin
But that’s just what you’re thinking
Shade to shade and it sucks you in
No matter what you’re thinking

Gonna sing an old song to you right now
It’s one that you’ve heard before
It might be a window to your soul I can open slowly

So, welcome back, welcome back
It’s not the same
The shade is just you blinking
Welcome back, welcome back
It’s not the same

Welcome back, welcome back
It’s not the same

Welcome back, welcome back
It’s not the same
The shade is just you blinking





“Don’t Forget Love”

Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love

When you’re angry and you’re lashing out, don’t forget love
You don’t know what you’re talking about, don’t forget love
When the wind blows through the crime scene and the TV man starts talking fast, don’t forget love

Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love

When you got no one you can confide in, don’t forget love
In every story there’s a secret hiding, don’t forget love
When you’re taking when you could be giving
When you’re dying and you could be living, don’t forget love

Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love

When you’re waking up with a frown
And the world is bringing you down
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Love will bring you back around
Put your feet right on the ground
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love

When the storm comes and the lights go out, don’t forget love
When the rains give way to sunshine, don’t forget love
There’s a secret in every story, in the ways that we remember love

Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
Don’t forget love
