LYRICS:
Some people got a houseful of gold
He traded all of his for a hand to hold
Never looks back, never gets old
Never lets the man get a hold of his soul
I'm just hanging out with Robert Cain
He promised me that everything would stay the same
We visit every couple of days
His wisdom flows out of the haze
He talks about love
Knows that it’s true
He looks at us and tells us that we know it too
We’re just hanging out with Robert Cain
He promised us that everything would stay the same
Eat drink be merry too
Maybe in the morning I will marry you
He says life is a river
But don’t try to swim
Just let it carry you along
Take a look around before it's gone
If a rock gets in your way, just sway
Don't be afraid
Some people got a houseful of gold
All I need is a hand to hold
I'm giving you mine
You're giving me yours
We're getting in a boat and we're throwing away the oars
We’re just hanging out with Robert Cain
He promised us that everything would stay the same
Eat drink be merry too
Maybe in the morning I will marry you

LYRICS:
You're looking for something and you won't find it here
Crowded in with all these hungry hearts and anxious ears
I guess there was happiness in your eyes
We can't have that time back even if we try
And the rain will wash us clean
I don't think I ever saw a face like hers before
Beauty and wisdom and a love that opens doors
The thunder cloud changed the crowd’s roar into a whisper
I walked that girl right out into the storm to kiss her
And the rain did wash us clean
Don't get me wrong, I filled this song with admiration
I'm one of those who loved the chosen generation
They might have turned us on, but their time has come and gone
You're looking for something that won't come back again
Someone filled a phony stage with money we can't spend
I guess we'll keep our eyes on that last horizon
This life can be surprising
And the rain will wash us clean

Don't Sit Down

LYRICS:
You brush your hair little girl as you sit in your fairytale world
Climb into your plush velvet chair, not a care
It creeps in slow little girl whispers in your ear little girl
Are you sleeping now, too tired to play?
Scholars book in your lap, point to interesting places on a map
You wile your hours away in decay
A quiet afternoon for yourself but your spark sits alone on a shelf
Are you done little girl, have you nothing to say?
Don’t sit down little girl, don’t turn out the light
It might seem like you’re comfortable tonight
But don’t sit down, take a good look around
Don’t let yourself forget about the fight
The heavy weight of content is carried by shoulders unbent
Polished veneer can still crack and slide into black
I know you’ve seen pain little girl
Still bear it in your name little girl
But your soft even breath tells me you live yet
Don’t sit down little girl, don’t turn out the light
It might seem like you’re comfortable tonight
But don’t sit down, take a good look around
Don’t let yourself forget about the fight

LYRICS:
The tide gets high at the whim of the moon
Shadows get chased all through the night
The sun god's on his throne at noon
Thinkin bout that dance across the sky
How long can you stand tall
When they come for you
How long can you hold on
The City of the Shining Jewel
Holds all it's power in your eye
It eats the wise man and the fool
Escape the dragon when you die
How long can you stand tall
When they come for you
How long can you hold on
She'll meet me in the next sweet song
The next enchanted tale
I'll build a tower to the sky
I'll live with her in heaven's vale
How long have I searched for you
As long as you needed me
A star without a name
Is all you could be
How long can you hold on

Beat Of My Boot

LYRICS:
You know how the old story goes
Dam up the river and it can’t flow
It’s eating me up inside
The dam can’t withstand the coming tide
These words won’t leave me alone
The jitters are running right down through my bones
I’m like a snake in a coil
Blood’s startin to boil - ah - ah
The beat of my boot on the hard packed earth
The still of my breath what the rhythm’s worth
Take the problems of my mind
Underfoot and grind
Clouds will bring the thunder
Little boat on the choppy sea better sail for cover
These words swim round my head
And my eyes can’t see anything but red
The moon overhead is full now
Pulling all these changes through my bones now
They crawl just under my skin
I just can’t win - ah - ah
The beat of my boot on the hard packed earth
The still of my breath what the rhythm’s worth
Take the turmoil in my mind
Underfoot and grind
