Trees 04:45
I, I wanna live on the land I, I wanna make my clothes by hand I, I wanna plant a garden green And watch the seasons The seasons change Up in the trees I, I wanna feed my chickens grain And, and hear my dog barking in the lane I, I wanna eat with family And watch the seasons The seasons change Up in the trees I, I wanna be in dark at night And, and find my way home by starlight I, I wanna be woken by a breeze A summer breeze And watch the seasons The seasons change Up in the trees

Silently 03:54
You work at the bookstore on my street Full of dreams I hope to live someday In the back there is an old guitar tuned in open G, which is fine by me Every time I walk past I hope you're there So I can stop sleeping for a split second that lasts so long, this can't be wrong Thank you for finding me silently Thank you for liking me silently You have a sidewalk sale on today I think I'll stop outside, I'm on my bike out for a ride I'm flipping through the pages, but I don't see the words When I look up, eyes meet through the glass and they're saying Thank you for finding me silently Thank you for liking me silently Thank you for giving me silently Thank you for choosing me silently Thank you for wanting me silently Eves meeting through in a breath, through the reflective glass I'm walking past And in that brief moment I know you somehow Thought I've never seen you before 'til now I think I must be on my way somewhere But in that blink all else is gone, call it blindness but it's been so long Thank you for finding me silently Thank you for liking me silently Thank you for giving me silently Thank you for choosing me silently Thank you for wanting me silently Silently, silently Silently, silently

Buddy 04:02
Once I built a railroad, made it run Made it race against time Once I build a railroad, now it's done Buddy can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower to the sky Steal and concrete and lime Once I built a tower, now it's done Buddy can you spare a dime? Once in khaki suits Gee, we looked swell Full of that yankee doodle dum Half a million boots went slogging through hell I was the one with the drum Say can't you remember, they called me Al It was Al all the time Say can't you remember, I'm your pal! Buddy can you spare a dime? Once I built a railroad, made it run Made it race against time Once I build a railroad, now it's done Buddy can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower to the sun Brick and rivet and lime Once I built a tower, now it's done Buddy can you spare a dime? Once in khaki suits Gee, we looked swell Full of that yankee doodle dum Half a million boots went slogging through hell I was the one with the drum Say can't you remember, they called me Al It was Al all the time Say can't you remember, I'm your pal! Buddy can you spare a dime?

Get Together 04:13
Stop what you're doin' Take a step back We can get together Get back on the right track Stop what you're doin' Take a step back We can get together Are you trying to sleep? After a long days work? Sewing what you'll reap? Are you looking for love? Hoping one day you'll be what you dream of? But do you waste your time? Are you like me, afraid of walkin' the fine line? Do you need to let go? Stop tryin' to please everybody you know? Oh, you better stop what you're doin' Take a step back We can get together Get back on the right track Stop what you're doin' Take a step back We can get together Are you tryin' not to stare? Are you hoping there's something for you out there? Are you tryin' to succeed? Don't you know you're gonna get everything you need? But do you still waste your time? Are you like me, afraid of walkin' the fine line? You better stop what you're doin' Take a step back We can get together Get back on the right track Stop what you're doin' Take a step back We can get together Get back on the right track Stop what you're doin' Take a step back We can get together Get back on the right track Stop what you're doin' Take a step back We can get together 'Cause you know it's time to Don't you know it's time to? Get together Get together Get together

Friday Night 06:19
I look in the mirror And I don't see myself And all the love that I'm waiting for Well it's all there on the tallest shelf And I can't wait for the rain to stop They say the sun's coming back soon But I can smell the fall and Whatever happened to friday night? Whatever happened to every little thing's gonna be alright? And whatever happened to tried and true? Whatever happened to I love you? Standing on corners waiting for buses to come Well I know I'll be late but I don't think it matters much anymore 'Cause everyone expects it, it's no surprise at all And I'm just waiting for that inevitable fall And I don't know but I think it's gonna rain again And I just wanna ask I just wanna know from you Whatever happened to friday night? Whatever happened to every little thing's gonna be alright? And whatever happened to tried and true? Whatever happened to I love you? I look in the mirror And I don't see myself And all the love that I'm waiting for Well it's all there on the tallest shelf And I say Whatever happened to friday night? Whatever happened to every little thing's gonna be alright? And whatever happened to tried and true? Whatever happened to me and you? Me and you To you To you To you

Beauty Myth 04:47
You say you don't know why you feel this way You say you don't know why you act this way Well let me give you just a little clue The beauty myth got a hold on you Oh, oh, oh, oh You say you don't know why you think this way And you say you don't know why you live this way Well I've got a book might help you see through The beauty myth got a hold on you Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah You say you don't know why it hurts so much 'Cause it used to free you just to feel her touch But now each time after you enter You are still thrown off centre Oh, oh, oh, oh The light is shone from her eyes for you Just like the sun on a summer afternoon But now it's time to turn and walk away Chasing a sunset never saved the day Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Rusty Door 04:03
You got that look, like you've already been here before Road stones in your eyes, salt on your rusty van door Something in the way you hesitate, when you say goodnight Keep on driving past the border, hypnotized by the dashboard light Walkin' after dark falls Keep a-movin' when the music dies down Walkin' after dark falls Keep a-movin' when the music dies down Something in the way you turn away, when you say goodnight Keep on driving past the border, hypnotized by the dashboard light (harmonica solo) Something I can do, turn a minute into a day? Is there something I can do, turn a minute into a day? Something in the way you pull me in when you say goodnight Just keep on driving past the border, hypnotized by the dashboard light You got that look, like you've already been here before Road stones in your eyes, salt on your rusty van door Something in the way you pull me in, when you say "It's alright" Keep on driving past the border, hypnotized by the dashboard light Keep on driving past the border, hypnotized by the dashboard light Keep on driving past the border, hypnotized by the dashboard light
