One More Day

I love you still
I always will
Though I won’t try to change your mind
Dust in the wind
Each day that ends
Will leave you one day more behind
Just one more day until tomorrow
One more day you’re on my mind
Just one more day, pack up my sorrow
Give me one more day behind
Going alone
Down a cold, dark road
Crossing rivers deep and wide
Sun sinking fast
Fall into the past
Until your one day more behind
Just one more day until tomorrow
One more day you’re on my mind
Just one more day, pack up my sorrow
Give me one more day behind
I can see you there
Sunlight in your hair
Before the world was so unkind
Something I should’ve known
Never thought you would go
And leave me one day more behind
Just one more day until tomorrow
One more day you’re on my mind
Just one more day, pack up my sorrow
Give me one more day behind
Give me one more day behind

The 'I Love You' Song
03:14
|
|||
|
I love you in the morning
I love you in the Spring
I love you in the Winter
When the whole world has gone to sleep
I love you in the Summer
In the shade of a willow tall
I love you like a fortress
I won’t ever let you Fall
I love you by the river
I love you sittin’ by a stream
I love you when I’m wide awake
And I love you when I dream
I love you when the sun goes down
And when it comes back up
I love you more than ever now
So won’t you come and fill my cup
And I love you like those little birds
Sittin’ high atop that limb
I love when you start singin’
Cause you sound just like them
I love it when they fly away
Their wings paint up the sky
But I love you when you’re right here
So please don’t say goodbye
I love you when I hold my breath
I love it when you speak
I love you way down to the depths
Of that rolling deep blue sea
I love you like a clear blue sky
Honey I can finally breathe
I love you when it’s raining so hard
I can hardly see
And I love you in the desert
Without a cloud in the sky above
I love you just like water
I can’t ever get enough
I love you like a freight train
My heart never beat so fast
I wanna love you like molasses
Take it slow, babe, make it last
And I love you when you’re sleepin’
Come and lay down next to me
I love you when we’re wakin’ up
Soft in a bed of green
And when you sleep, I love your breathin’
When you breathe, I love the sound
I’m gonna love you for forever
Even when I’m underground
I’m gonna love you for forever
Even when I’m I’m underground
Just let me love you for forever
Even when I’m underground

Daughter
03:49
|

|
Yesterday I thought that I saw you
In an airport baggage claim
You weren’t quite you, you looked tired
And I wondered what made you that way
Cause things are different than they were before
I heard you’re not playing the drums anymore
Cause things are different, you found someone
And now you’ve got a daughter and a son
And last night I thought that I saw you
Drinking our favorite gin
You looked like you did when I met you
And I wished we could do that again
And I almost cried out when I noticed
Those thick, black, throwback frames
But I choked when you turned and I knew that I
Was a fool thinking nothing had changed
When things are different than they were before
I heard you’re not messing with guns anymore
Cause things are different, you found someone
And now you’ve got a daughter and son
Remember the last time I saw you
Quoting my favorite tune
You said don’t think twice, yeah it’s alright
Cause I’ll always be loving you
But things are different than they were before
I heard you met Jesus at the corner store
Yeah, some things are different, you found someone
And now you’ve got a daughter and son
And I’m sorry I wasn’t the one

Wandering
02:41
|
|||
|
As the dewy meadow glistens
In the morning when I rise
When the evening shadow’s lifted
And the dark gives way to light
When the nightbirds start their slumber
And the dove begins to sing
Our love I will remember
For I’m bound to wandering
Mighty river ever winding
I will follow where you lead
Give me respite on my journey
Be my sweet company
Fly me farther pretty sparrow
With my worry on your wings
Carry home your restless daughter
Free me from my wandering
Like a redwood in the forest
I’ve been standing straight and tall
But I know deep down that someday
I will surely have to fall
Yes and time is only borrowed
Still I wouldn’t change a thing
Our love I will remember
For I’m bound to wandering
Mighty river ever winding
I will follow where you lead
Give me respite on my journey
Be my sweet company
Fly me farther pretty sparrow
With my worry on your wings
Carry home your restless daughter
Free me from my wandering

You got me tangled up in memories
Of a soon forgotten past
I’m walking through the valley
Through the shadow that you cast
You got me clinging to a vision
But it’s falling out of view
I know I can’t hold on forever
To the love that we once knew
I can hear the whistle blowin’
I can see the steel rails shine
And the train has come to carry me
A little farther down the line
Through the echo in the canyons
Through the phases of the moon
Through the changing of the seasons
Through the lonely afternoon
I can’t tell you where I’m going
I can’t tell you where I’m bound
But I’ll be keeping my eyes open
Just in case you come around
I can hear the whistle blowin’
I can see the steel rails shine
And that train has come to carry me
A little farther down the line

Katabatic
03:59
|
|||
|
In the summer hums
A whisper through
The valley soft and low
Singing o’er the muddy
River full
Of April’s ice and snow
Can’t remember where it comes from
And I don’t know why it goes
But I remember I once loved you
When the katabatic blows
When the katabatic blows
All the tiny seeds of mustard start to grow
When the katabatic blows
I remember I once had you long ago
By the river blue
I wandered through
The seasons of my mind
A distant thought
That I forgot
And couldn’t seem to find
Can’t remember where I left you
I don’t know why I had to go
But I remember I how I loved you
When the katabatic blows
When the katabatic blows
All the tiny seeds of mustard start to grow
When the katabatic blows
I remember how I had you long ago
When the katabatic blows
All the magpies sing a chorus for the show
When the katabatic blows
I remember I once had you long ago

What can I say
What can I do
Everything’s lost
Out here everything’s blue
Nowhere to go
No place to sleep
Everything’s gone
I’ve got nothing to keep
Even the moon
Even the rain
Got buckets of stars
And wide open plains
When evening surrounds
And no light can get through
Know that I’ll be right here
If that ocean’s still blue

Holyoke
03:05
|

Just up from the Holyoke
Where the Housatonic flows
Stands a pine tree tall and narrow
To the cold wind as it blows
Through the branches and the needles
That fall and gather at my feet
In a bed of shattered memories
Of a love I couldn’t keep
Praying for direction
I can’t find where I went wrong
Looking back for reason
But the river calls me on
Down the backroads as I wander
Through the shadow that you cast
To a valley full of memories
Of a love that couldn’t last
Now the daylight’s disappearing
See the moon is coming up
I want to lay beside the evening
Tell it what I’m thinking of
But I’m tangled up in moments
Of a soon forgotten past
In a bed of shattered memories
Of a love gone by too fast
Just up from the Holyoke
Where the Housatonic flows
Stands a pine tree tall and narrow
To the cold wind as it blows
Now it’s hidden in the forest
With the willows as they weep
And they mourn the fading memory
Of a love I couldn’t keep

Oh, Sister
02:57
|

Oh, sister when I come to lie in your arms
You should not treat me like a stranger
Our father would not like the way that you act
And you must realize the danger
Oh, sister am I not a brother to you
And one deserving of affection
And is our purpose not the same on this earth
To love and follow his direction
We grew up together
From the cradle to the grave
We died and were reborn
And then mysteriously saved
Oh, sister when I come to knock on your door
Don’t turn away, you’ll create sorrow
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
You may not see me tomorrow

Lay me down in the meadow
Let me settle down soft
In a cool, summer shadow
Or in some water, I’ll drift off
Sing me of the good years and the rising sun
Or just cover my ears till the trouble’s all done
Aren’t they funny, the worlds
We build up in our dreams
Finally found you that ochre
That one cerulean green
But I can’t take them with me, they’d fade up above
But know that they’re waiting for when the trouble’s all done
Now I know that you’re tired
Come and lay down your head
See the pink muhly grass flying
High above our bed
And we’ll sing of the good years and wait on that sun
Cause soon it’ll be here when the trouble’s all done
Yes, soon it’ll be here when the trouble’s all done
