Bandog 04:38
Well are you gonna be tomorrow Happy to be alive Or sad and waitin’ to die Should have told you once Never to pass twice So much I could not have seen With my eyes alone So much I could not have seen With my, eyes alone Break your mind away from the follow Middle of a sixteen hour drive Check the map for Sicha Hollow Land outside is dry for miles So much I could not have seen With my eyes alone So much I could not have seen With my, eyes alone You play a G, I'll play a C we'll sound in perfect harmony we'll have this time away from all those things that we would rather not be

Old Guitar 04:50
Lost my soul in a card game to a devil I didn't know says she'll be back to collect on Sunday by Friday I'll be gone well it's more than I can handle but still I'm keepin' on with this old guitar and this newly written song Well the time's come to reckon for all that we've done still the spans they stay open as the boats run toward the sun and it's more than I can handle but still I'm keepin' on with this old guitar and this newly written song And my mind, isn't all I can ride on I've got these here strings makin' chords of sound It's been, four sunrises and only three sunsets and I'm sittin' here and wonderin' how much harder life'll get got this smudge on my soul that your touch can't rub out got this hole in my mind the thought of you can't fill up And my mind, isn't all I can ride on I've got these strings makin' chords chords of sound And my mind, isn't all I can ride on It's this old guitar and my soul is trapped in these strings and my heart's tied up just the same in this old guitar

Lazy Anxious 04:26
Listen to that old roof sing Don't worry about a single thing Feel the rain on your skin It's time to begin again Feel that summer rain Let your worries wash away Hear that old roof sing Don't worry about a single thing Feel that summer rain Let your worries wash away Hear that old roof sing Don't worry about a single thing Feel that summer rain Let your worries wash away

Lost Key 04:31
Time won't leave my head, it's all those times she said to go her side of the bed's still warm, wasn't moments she left to head up north and all she said before she left was leave the key there by the door then nothing more and all she said before she left was leave the key there by the door then nothing more sigh a sigh with your first breath of this new life, goin' home Old patterns bad habits here in this small town are you know and all she said before she left was leave the key there by the door then nothing more and all she said before she left was leave the key there by the door then nothing more I've got a metal heart in my mind built from all those times she said to go I can't cope with my problems just by bein' with your body anymore and all she said before she left was leave the key there by the door then nothing more and all she said before she left was leave the key there by the door then nothing more

Confluence 03:59
The hourglass is empty The sand has all run out Your time here has ended The tide has gone out Warm, restful sleep, We'll meet again. Stuck upon this reef, When will this end? The air's been lifted gently The fog is all gone now Arrived at the sea of plenty From the shores of strung out Warm, restful sleep, We'll meet again. Stuck upon this reef, When will this end? There will come a day that your youth will pass away. Maybe here's the day, my friend...

Heavy Meddle 05:08
Just worry 'bout your own life and I'll worry 'bout mine you think we're from the same town but I'm from miles and miles I'll tell you my story but not a word out loud We'll live a thousand years in a day go backwards in time northbound current to sail move toward the weather coming in she brings this message for us we sail on ghost waters Here I stand in the knee-deep snow a blizzard so fierce I can't tell which way I should go they said I'd find the wreckage here I ain't found nothin' but now my mind is thinkin' clear Hired hands in the freezing slow your heartbeat drops down to a near drop-dead tempo big white water takes your feet splintered wormswood floats in from the sea
