An Offering 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Distant and so mellow A warm wind from somewhere Twisting all our feelings And treating us unfair Rustling the leaves in cowboy towns The big sky country never makes a sound I know your beauty tired soul Your song and mine are one Somehow we drift closer Even though we’ve just begun So ask the ferries – listen to the wind We have cried but we have never sinned You are like the earth here I am your gentle breeze And through the autumn of your heart I’ll lift the golden leaves The untouched silent beauty of the land The mystery of the mountains is our plan I remember you so beautiful Battered but wise And your golden hair Against the golden skies And the truth your heart has been denied Your soul remains a legend in my mind Family and farm life Burning across the plain The horses become restless After a summer’s rain The untouched silent beauty of our youth The mystery of our souls sharing the truth So we take what we can get As days grow into nights And silence all the sweeping sadness Feeling we must fight So dream of all the things I never said And the turning tides that turn your head

I know what I want Kisses – Strangers Drive round in my car And I’m so glad And I hope you’re happy too She gives me sunshine On a cloudy day Turn sunny days And that’s the reason I won’t turn away She brings sunny days I know how it feels Kisses – strangers Mind, style, and appeal It gets so bad But you hope I’m happy too She gives me sunshine On a cloudy day Turn sunny days And that’s the reason I won’t turn away She brings sunny days Sunny days Get what you deserve Kisses – strangers Can leave you desturbed It gets so bad But I hope you’re happy too She gives me sunshine On a cloudy day Turn sunny days And that’s the reason I won’t turn away She brings sunny days Sunny days – sunny days Sunny days – sunny days Sunny days – sunny days

Childhood – childhood Brothers and sisters And mothers and fathers Will all sing this song But not very long For your childhood Families – friendships Brothers and sisters All with great, smiling faces We’ll all sing this song But not very long For your childhood We’ll learn how to love As they watch us grow up Willow, Taylor, Ashley, and Cody, And oh little Kristen We’ll all sing your song But not very long For your childhood You’ll learn how to love As we watch you grow up You’ll learn how to love As we watch you grow up We’ll learn how to love As we watch you grow up I’ll learn how to love I’ll watch you grow up

Sleepy Ann 02:23
lyrics

I remember holding her through nights Sleepy Ann – goodnight She was calm and tired after fights Sleepy Ann – goodnight I can lie awake With all her words She can fall asleep So fast it hurts Now I’m far away Sleepy Ann my friend Climbs into her bed Will it ever end Stayed awake and thought of her last night Sleepy Ann – goodnight I can’t sleep if I can’t set things right Sleepy Ann – goodnight Through my window Shines a light of gloom I can see the city From my room She seems far away Still Sleepy Ann will sleep And I won’t make a peep I hope I fall asleep

We Can Smile 02:45
lyrics
buy track
When we took a country drive To get the bottom line You made it very clear to me That you could not be mine You would smile But it might change your mind You would smile But it might change your mind When it was cold and dark outside And I climbed into bed You called me up and made it clear You wanted to be friends I would smile But it might change my mind I would smile But it might change my mind We can’t talk it over It’s over and we are not friends We can’t try it over It’s over but still never ends I hope next when I see you That it will not hurt my heart We were good together once But now it’s best we part We can smile now It won’t change our mind We can smile now It won’t change our mind

I Love To See You Shine 04:07

When you go Promise that you won’t forget My songs They’ve never said so much Baby You won’t know when you’re missing out Baby You’ve never seen me shine So goodbye I promise that I won’t forget Your eyes I bet they’ve never said so much Places Might force me to guess again Places Might not let me sleep So kiss me Let me hold you one more time Sleeping Awake with you again Write me Or I won’t know when I’m missing out Write me I might just write you back I might just write you back I might just write you back My love Please remember when I say I’ll miss you And singing in your ear My heart Aches to see you go away But my eyes Love to see you shine I love to see you shine I love to see you shine Now I’ll play your favorite chords Soon they’ll be my favorite too I’ll make my mark and look for yours Making our home knocking down doors As we find ourselves sitting in different rooms Yours is yellow - mine is blue And you still see my reflections true Truly I am me and she is she

Rising Wind 03:37
lyrics

I seem to be spending most of my time in bed Outside my window a full moon is burning red Branding my heart with that old twist of fate By remembering me knocking on your door in the rain Tromping these streets with my boots laced tight Fashioned by the fingers of time As I stepped away I only stepped a little closer Reaching through another day I may always feel this way Wordless on a doorstep through sleepy eyes The vision of Gods grace through a new morning sky As the spinning summer begins to fall apart The first icy wind blows into my heart Letting time become what she will again And bearing her gifts of flight As I stepped away I only stepped a little closer Reaching through another day I may always feel this way At least there is love out there somewhere Ever expanding, true, pure and fair A trail winding across the whole planets face That will lead me here to my favorite place The flowers are made fools of as cold rain falls They’re pelted into their soils just as I return to mine A sleepy soul turning east just before dawn And holding west forever in the bottom of my heart Long fingers hoping to grasp the chain What used to be will be again As I stepped away I only stepped a little closer Reaching through another day I may always feel this way

I Was Fine Without You 02:34
lyrics
buy track
I wanted to prove what I could do So I packed my bags And I headed right out of town When I arrived everything was new Except me and you Well that still made me frown I was sad I was feeling upset Man I was a wreck But now I’m doing fine And there were days and nights I thought I’d die But instead I’d cry I’d cry myself to sleep And even though I wanted you to cry I was fine without you all that time It was hard I was feeling homesick My mom and sis Well they missed me just the same And I had dreamt about you every night But that wasn’t right – no I said “Scott you’d better move on” And even though I wanted you to call I was fine without you all along I was fine without you all along

I’ve found happiness by Dying in the west Finally I’ve found rest Looking at the world Mountains, barnyard and girl Horses painted rust We’ll probably both go bust Looking at the world Looking at the world – looking at the world Looking at the world – looking at the world I’ll make sure I’m a man It might take awhile Finding myself a smile Looking at the world Family, land and a farm Love and living slow Watching our children grow Looking at the world Looking at the world – looking at the world Looking at the world – looking at the world This whole world

All Those Questions 03:13
lyrics

Wake up – meet her downtown She is smiling Lock arms – walk out through leaves And this cold town And she’s warmed up my heart With all those questions She writes – she hopes pretty I am smiling And sometimes she lets me read Poems she’s filing And they spoke to me from her soul With all those questions I can’t believe that I must go home Cause I’m lonesome and I feel that she’s lonesome too But she’s so strong as strong as I’d want to be But so lonesome Yes it’s the union of brotherhood Oh it’s the union of brotherhood Yes it’s the union of brotherhood Now her eyes so soft, deep green And her smiles A natural beauty she is When I’m sleeping Now I know I can love again From all those questions I can’t believe I won’t see her again Cause I’m lonesome and I know that she’s lonesome too But she’s so strong as strong as I’d want to be But we’re lonesome Yes it’s the union of brotherhood Oh it’s the union of brotherhood Yes it’s the union of Rachel and I

I wonder if we’re gonna get together I wonder if we’re gonna get together But it may take more than just a week Walking in the park It’s my life – it’s your life Walking in the park Can make dreams Walking in the park It’s my life – it’s your life Walking in the park Can make dreams
