I’m sick and tired of sun going down without seeing it fall And I keep getting fired when I work for myself Higher standards than anyone else Mama I’m asleep but my eyes they won’t shut Mama can’t you see I ain’t awake enough So I have resolved To be in one place Fuck all of the noise Hang out with boys Keep to myself Read those books on my shelf Take the people I love One at a time And I can’t find the time to cut off my hair Trim my face change the clothes that I wear But I’m doing just fine yeah I’ll watch where I step I keep turning right cause I got nothing left And mama in a week I’ll be right in the head It always turns out mama just like you said So I have resolved To call you up But till I’m around You’ll be talking me down I’ll stay light on my feet Make plans I can keep Walk the streets of this town One at a time So I have resolved To be in one place Fuck all of the noise Hang out with boys Keep to myself Read those books on my shelf Take the people I love One at a time

All I Had 03:30
Went out in the darkness Went out in the rain Don't know where I was goin, but I was goin insane Went out in the garden Went out to the woods Didn't have all the roadmaps, like a grown man should all I had was you Got caught in a landslide Got tossed by a wave Didn't know what I was missin', but I misbehaved Got stuck in a pickle Laid low by the curve I don't get much, but I get what I deserve Cause all I got is you Yeah all I got is you But take my words with a grain And salt my wounds when it rains I ain't in love with the pain Got found in the rushes Floated out on the tide Now I know what is sad is, and I'm satisfied Got lost in the desert Sunk down in the sand Now that I've gone under, I can understand That all I want is you Yeah all I want is you Oh all I want is you

Cassiopeia 05:20
Orion Orion what's going on I saw you were hanging with Cygnus the Swan Up at the summer triangle Where you don't belong Oh hey now Orion I've started to see As Cassiopeia rises up from the trees And you seem to cast a glance in her direction The Old King has fallen asleep in his chair And Cassiopeia has let down her hair And the Milky Way shimmers against the dark of the night And we sing... Cassiopeia I know you can't see us But Cassiopeia Can you hear us Orion is cut like a river guide And she is as pretty as a boatman's bride And across the night they catch each others attention Well she just bats her pretty brown eyes And he goes racing across the sky Impetuously towards her dazzling perfection He runs with his faithful dog at his heals Exuding a wild and a primal appeal His sword at his belt His wits and senses alive The queen gives a sigh Rises up from her chair And her skin feels alive in the cold night air As her gown falls away sending a gasp across the galaxy And we sing... Cassiopeia I know you can't see us But Cassiopeia Can you hear us In a blanket of stars we tuck ourselves in We're humble and silly as mortal men All we get is the constellation prize Orion Orion what's going on I saw you were hanging With Cygnus the Swan Up at the summer triangle Where you don't belong Orion Orion what's going on I saw you were hanging Where you don't belong And that you fell in love By the banks of the river And we sing... Cassiopeia I know you can't see us But Cassiopeia Can you hear us Cassiopeia We're light years beneath ya But Cassiopeia Can you hear us Can you hear us

Waiting Game 04:18
Take the time and I’ll take your name Though I’m not one for the waiting game So I’ll write it down Though the songs they all sound the same And I find myself waiting at a station I find myself waiting on you I find myself waiting on tables of poets Writing verses but none of them new I find myself Jackie’s hands were black and blue The Brooklyn fans were screaming too So he caught the wind And gave hope to those who sinned And played a fool Now he’d be screaming too And I find myself waiting for a change up I find myself waiting for a sign I find myself turning that corner ahead, going home but I know it’s not mine I find myself, yeah I find myself (instrumental) And I wander, wander, wonder what I’m saying I wander, wander, wanna lend a hand Though the blind may lead the blind I know a good man’s hard to find in this great land Sarah’s arms were full of dirt She was digging holes to hide the hurt If she dug em well She’d send those bastards down to hell Where they would learn It was Jackie’s turn And I find myself waiting for justice I find myself hoping for peace I find myself caught in a nation of battlegrounds, where no one will call the police I find myself, yeah I find myself And I wander, wander, wonder what I’m saying I wander, wander, wanna lend a hand Yeah I wander, wander, wonder what I’m saying Oh and I wander, wander, wanna lend a hand Though the blind may lead the blind I know a good man’s hard to find So I find myself

Peter's Song 04:18
‘Cause answers go by so fast Why do answers go by so fast That's a damn good question I thought you'd never ask Thought you'd never think to ask I've forgotten what I don't remember Don't remember what I forgot Though I ponder my days go sleepless through my nights I prefer to go to the walking in the hills When they're warm in the evening light And the journey is in the asking As a car goes roaring past We glimpse a face in a window That never came to pass I walk among the oaks Cross shadows to the light As the distant valley Prepares for night Cars with their headlights Sweeping through the trees Lighting patches of branches What we can't see recedes Ahead there lies a silence Voices from the stone If we choose to listen On days we walk alone We're left with questions A trembling of song An hour is lifetime It's here and then it's gone Evening shadows grow long The old man's walk alone In the blurring of light he'll be gone Gone Throw our questions in the water Watch the ripples grow Press a cheek to the dirt See the mountain from below If it's answers we're looking for If it's answer we're looking for If it's answers we're looking for Feel the the earth against our skin Face down down and take it in It's a damn good question And the moon is in the trees It's a damn good question So let's drink to you and me Let's drink a toast to the asking To questions everlasting Cause the moon is in the trees So here's to you and me So here's to you and me We're here Cause answers go by so fast Why do answers go by so fast That's a damn good question I thought you'd never ask Thought you'd never think to ask
