Good and Low
Verse:
My father parted with a kiss,
Told me not to linger long,
I departed with a song.
My mother taught me not to flinch,
Don’t hold back the final blow,
Life hits you good and low.
Chorus:
And all we do is take the time we have,
Don’t wonder how long,
Only time to love the ones you have,
And leave them in song,
Leave them with a song.
Verse:
I left my town again to roam,
Spent the years beneath the stars,
Sustained by pity and applause.
I came to know some honest folks,
Friends will do when times get thin,
When you’re naked in the wind.
Chorus:
All we do is take the time we have,
Don’t wonder how long,
Only time to love the ones you have,
And leave them in song,
Leave them with a song.
Bridge:
Take another route you can stay with us,
Sing the older songs they were made for us,
Time is all we have to lose.
Chorus:
All we do is take the time we have,
Don’t wonder how long,
Only time to love the ones you have,
And leave them in song,
All we do is take the time we have,
Don’t wonder how long,
Only time to love the ones you have,
And leave them in song,
Leave them with a song.

Argentina
Verse:
I miss you in the wind, chatter in my teeth,
Shiver in my bones, across the sea.
A kiss for love of kin, longing in my breath,
Never to return home again.
Pre-Chorus:
Oh when will I feel this way again?
Chorus:
The only space I’ll ever need,
Is two strides of country between my feet,
The only way I'll ever grieve,
Is failure to those dependent on me.
Verse:
Home is not a place, never has it been,
Written in the curves beneath my skin.
Ask not what to take, only what to give,
We carry nothing on when we have lived.
Pre-Chorus:
Oh when will I feel this way again?
Chorus:
The only space I’ll ever need,
Is two strides of country between my feet,
The only way I'll ever grieve,
Is failure to those dependent on me.
Out:
Oh when will I feel this way again?

Wreck
Verse:
First I was scared, fire in my veins and losing hair,
Life so impaired, oh how it aches to feel you there,
Feel you there.
Chorus:
I’ll be a wreck for you,
I’ll be a wreck for you,
I’ll be a wreck for you.
Verse:
Search as I may, mirror a face that I can bear,
Choices I’ve made, long lonely miles that led me there,
Led me there.
Chorus:
I’ll be a wreck for you,
I’ll be a wreck for you,
I’ll be a wreck for you.
Bridge:
Confined by day, consumed by night,
Conform my ways, and it’s all for want of you.
Chorus :
I’ll be a wreck for you,
I’ll be a wreck for you,
I’ll be a wreck for you,
I’ll be a wreck for you.

10-Speed
Verse:
She’s got her shows,
You’ve got your ten-speed bike,
Ride it around overnight.
She’ll let you go,
Out with your friends for the night,
Ride it around, stay in sight.
Chorus:
Take the chance you have don’t let me go,
Honor me instead, give blood don’t let go.
Verse:
Sway as you walk,
Carefully prideful and bold,
She could have gone but didn’t go.
Smile as you talk,
Lonely and silently cold,
She should have gone but didn’t know.
Chorus:
Take the chance you have don’t let me go,
Honor me instead, give blood don’t let go.
Bridge:
Rain falling down all around,
I feel it on my skin,
Rain falling down all around,
I feel it on my skin.

Trains (Don’t Let Go)
Verse:
Hold on to the warriors, all the warriors, that you see,
Hold on to the traveling kind, oh the traveling kind you meet,
Remember the greatness, oh the greatness of gifted feet,
Hold on to the wandering kind, oh the wandering kind of streets.
Chorus:
Hold on to me, me, (don’t let go),
Hold on to me, me, (don’t let go),
In the light of a lamppost.
Verse:
Set comfort behind you, behind you, not in between,
Take life like a rainstorm claims the coastline from the sea,
Give all as it’s asked of you, as it’s asked of you and you may see,
Take love for granted and it shall not be received.
Chorus:
Hold on to me, me, (don’t let go),
Hold on to me, me, (don’t let go),
In the light of a lamppost.
Bridge:
As we grow,
As we grow,
Don’t let me go.
Chorus:
Hold on to me, to me, (don’t let go),
Hold on to me, to me, (don’t let go),
Hold on to me, to me.

Hope to Gain
Verse:
Snow falls down,
Driving from the eastern plains,
Cause of desolation here and there.
Frozen ground,
Forced us not to dig her grave,
Hence the immolation and despair.
Chorus:
What did we ever hope to gain from this.
Verse:
Long await,
Given to the hope that springs,
When the seasons never fail to change.
Death is fate,
Tied to all the earthly things,
Feeling bold but also feeling strange.
Chorus:
What did we ever hope to gain from this,
What did we ever hope to gain from this.
Bridge:
Honesty, patron of the plains,
Honesty, patron of the plains.

Move Slow
Verse:
I lie awake at night and count the stars, I go drifting home to you,
I find the longest path between the lights, backwards drift along to you.
Chorus:
Move slow,
Move slow.
Verse:
Lie still, the sky revolves, and after all, canyon’s painted fire red,
A dream, a waking dream, that sings my heart, softly whispers of the dead.
Chorus:
Move slow,
Move slow.
Bridge:
A fire burning bright as I prepare my tired feet to roam,
Hold on to simple nights for many years will pass before I’m home.
Chorus:
Move slow,
Move slow.

Oh there’s a whole lot of me walking out on you,
It’s in the way you explain everything you do.
Pre-Chorus:
Everything you think you need in life may take a long time,
Everything you think you need in life may take a while.
Chorus:
Hold me, hold me for a while, float me down the Nile,
Hold me, hold me for a while, treat me like a child.
Verse:
Oh there’s a hole shaped liked me through your bedroom door,
I can’t explain waking up today never wanting more.
Pre-Chorus:
Everything you think you need in life may take a long time,
Everything you think you need in life may take a while.

Hold me, hold me for a while, float me down the Nile,
Hold me, hold me for a while, treat me like a child.
Chorus:
Hold me, hold me for a while, float me down the Nile,
Hold me, hold me for a while, treat me like a child,
Hold me, hold me for a while, float me down the Nile,
Hold me, hold me for a while, treat me like a child.

Bee Sting
Verse:
Home, make me want to stay, make me want to go,
Home, make me feel alive, make me feel alone,
All alone.
Pre-Chorus:
Treat me like a bee sting,
Tell me what the day brings,
Hold me as the days roll by.
Chorus:
I will always feel this way, I will fall for you,
I will always feel the same, I will call for you,
All alone and on a whim.
Verse:
Grown, made to feel afraid, made to feel profound,
Grown, brightest of the lights, song without a sound,
All alone.
Pre-Chorus:
Treat me like a bee sting,
Tell me what the day brings,
Hold me as the days roll by.
Chorus:
I will always feel this way, I will fall for you,
I will always feel the same, I will call for you,
All alone.
Bridge:
Point me to the East and let me down,
Point me to the East and let me down.

Verse:
Soldier’s joy is not in battle,
But that battle save his brother,
Soldier’s joy is not in battle,
But returning to his mother.
Chorus:
You will find me there,
You will find me there,
You will find me there,
For I go with you.
Verse:
If you love him use him up,
Before the springtime turn to summer,
If you love him use him up,
Before the hillside take him under.
Chorus:
You will find me there,
You will find me there,
You will find me there.
Bridge:
They’re calling out yesterday,
They’re calling out yesterday,
They’re calling out for yesterday.
