Tender-Hearted Ones
04:02

|
Show me the way to the tenderhearted ones/To the ones who have no use for your bombs and your guns/To the ones who move slow/ Sing songs to the sun/ Show me the way to the tenderhearted ones/ So much mystery, so much you and me/ So much mystery, so much you and me/I listen to the trees and they whisper to me:/
“Stand tall. Breathe deep. Stand tall and dig those roots deep.”

Bosque

In the place of hidden things: rushing water, wedding rings/ Whispered songs from the past, some are gone and some will last/Deep down, deep down baby in the Bosque/Deep down, deep down baby in the Bosque/Deep down, deep down baby in the Bosque/Deep down, deep down baby in the Bosque/What we left behind and what we could never say, it’s deep down, deep down baby
in the Bosque/ Deep down, Deep down/ I turned my head and saw us there: the sun was bright, your skin was bare/ It was as if we were trapped inside the ink of a photograph

Desert cloudburst spilling life onto the land/ May it continue/Clean living water for all things/May it Continue /Courage and Compassion in our lives/May it continue/ My queer community, My queer family/ May we continue /I believe in things unseen:/ Mountain wind /And the miner’s dream/ I believe in things unseen:/ Mountain wind/ Ancestors’ dream/ Gardens growin, pushin, thrivin at the edges of the empire/ At the edges of the empire/ May it continue/ Spontenous kisses/May they continue / Fresh strawberries in the summertime/ May it continue/ People of Color living their lives free as can be/ May it continue/I believe in things unseen:/ Mountain wind/ Grandmother’s dream/I believe in things unseen:. I believe in you and me/ Da da da da/ Da da da da da dum

The flowers are pushin’ up/ The day is givin up again/And the wild things in me/ What else can there be?/Cinnamon, oh cinnamon, cinnamon won’t you sin again with me?/Cinnamon and blueberry free/Undo my tie/Give away the light my baby/Undo my tie/ Give away the light/ My baby/ My baby/ Come here to me/ Give the light up

How many colors can you fit in your cup?/How many ways can I love you up?/ We want nothin’ to do with empire/We want nothin’ to do with war/ We want nothin’ to do with death machines/ We want nothin’ to do with pipelines/ Take my hand baby, take my hand baby, take my hand/ We’ll go into the widest, the deepest blues/ Dragonfly, light the night/ Show me the way to my girl/ Show me the way to get to her/ And the jean of my jacket/ And the way that it happened/ And your keys/ With those scratches/ We held a circle of what we knew/ Among cottonwoods that grew/ And you fell/ From the sky/ Like a snowflake that caught in my eye/ And you fell/ From the sky/ Like a raven shot through with the night/ And you fell/ From the sky/ Like an angel on the altar of night/ What can I do?/ What can I say?/ What can do but be in love with you?/ Cathy/ Cathy/ I’m callin’ out from my dreams/ I’m crawlin’ out from in-between/ We want nothin’ to do with fascism/ We want nothin’ to do with religion/ We want nothin’ to do with borders/ We want nothin’ to do with hatred/ So take my hand baby/ Take my hand/ Take my hand baby/ Take my hand and we’ll go into/ The widest, the brightest blues/ Cathy/ Cathy/ I’m callin’ out from my dreams/I’m crawlin’ out from in-between

We Ain't Givin' Up

Mama, they wanna build a wall/ Mama, they’re gonna build it tall/ She said, “If we want to stick together, if we want to survive the fall, then we’ve got to build a bridge right through that wall.”/ We ain’t givin up, no, we ain’t givin up, we ain’t givin up, no, we ain’t givin up/ The future is uncertain/ The storm clouds gather now/ But I’m here standin’ with my shoulder to the plow/ I’m ready!/We ain’t givin up, no, we ain’t givin up, we ain’t givin up, no, we ain’t givin up/Mama, I’m so afraid/
They’re bringing so much night into the day/ She said, “You’ve got to hold on tight, to each other and to the light. And don’t forget: solidarity!”/From Standing Rock to Flint, Michigan/ From Orlando to the coast/ Our struggles are connected/A rising tides carries our boats/From the tar sands of Canada/ To the greed of Wall Street/ The truth is out and we’ve got to shout/ We are the earth beneath our feet

Train Ain't Goin Nowhere

When I can’t walk/ I can’t walk/ I got songs like wings/ Carry me through things/ I, I, I, I I thought I heard you say/“Let the mud dry out, before we try it out, before we try it out again.”/Baby, that train ain’t goin nowhere/The pebble in my shoe taught me more than you/ Taught me more than the road that I walk on/ What if I couldn’t fly?/ I’d be stuck here all the time/What if I couldn’t fly?/I’d be stuck here all the time/All the time/The sky was ripped/ And you were tippin overboard/Do you hear it? /Do you see it?/ Do you feel it? /And believe it?/Baby, that train ain’t goin nowhere

What's a Heart For
04:22

Desert lips/ Faucet drips/ And she moves so free/ Hold her lightly/ Whisper brightly/ Wooden ships/ Lost in mist/ Carry darkness close/ Her palms are open/ All that was broken/ Maybe we’re movin’/ And maybe we’re not/ Maybe we’re OK with the little bit we got/ I’ll meet you in the garden/ I’ll meet you in Atlanta with a heart unguarded/ I’m movin’ sideways/ Through grey highways/ And you’re always on my mind/ And there’s mountains where there used to be earthquakes/ What’s a heart for?/ But to break/ And there’s mountains where there used to be earthquakes/ What’s a heart for?/But to break

Mother Earth/Father Sun/Sister Moon/Brother Sky/ We are all stardust/Stardust/ We are all stardust/Stardust/ You and me and all of us/We are all stardust/ Stardust/ So if you feel/ A little bit afraid/ Just remember from where we all came/ We are all stardust/ Stardust/ So if you feel/ A little bit afraid/ Just remember from where we all came/ Stars/ Planets/ Spiraling galaxies/ Mountains/ Deserts/ Redwood trees/ All of that lives inside of you and me/ Cuz we are stardust/ Stardust/ We are all stardust/ Stardust

With my broken guitar/ I’m singin’ all the cards/ All the cards that lie on my table/ Oh, you’ll make some mistakes/ All along the way/ But hopefully you’ll get a little kinder/ Sometimes I’ll visit the future and come back/ Just in time to clean up my act/ And the things that I’ve seen/ On the inside of dreams/ Well, I know just one thing:/ We need each other/ My love she’s far/ So very far/ from these watermelon mountains/ Watermelon mountains/ Show me the way/ Watermelon mountains/ When I lose the day/ Watermelon mountains/ Guide me home/ Watermelon mountains/ Days of old/ Oh we try so hard/ So very hard/ To tear the world all apart/ And when it all comes/ Collapsin’ down/ Well, I look to you to find my ground/ Watermelon mountains/ My love she’s so far/ So very far/ From these watermelon mountains/ And distance is hard/ It pulls at my heart/ It’s a long slow ache/ That builds and it breaks/ On the shores of these/ Watermelon mountains/ My love she’s far/ So very far/ from these watermelon mountains

And on the days/ When despair sits and stays/ I’ll be there/ I’ll be there/ The desert is whisperin’/ Is slippin’ again/ She says, “Please, please, please.”/ She says, “Please, please, please.”/ Samantha is shuckin’ the corn by the door/ What if she/ Were me?/ The books are all dusty/ And so is the floor/ What if she/ Were me?/ After the earthquake/ After the darkest of days/ After the end of days/ The sun will come out again/ The sun will come out again/ The sun will come out again

Water and Bones

I know the way to never drown/Plant your feet on solid ground/Never fall in love and you’ll never fall down/You said my love was too loud/I need to turn it down/ Well, stagnant water is a deadly thing/It was made to move, it was made to sing/
It’ll take the shape of everything/So, what if all I am is water and bones?/ What if all I am is water and bones?/Water and bones/ water and bones/ water and bones/ water and bones/It’s the same old tired lullaby/ and I’d sing it to you and you’d start to cry/“We had, we lost, we had, we lost and we lost and we lost”/How did I walk away?/ How did I walk away (eyayehey)/How did I walk away/ How did I walk away (eyayehey)/It’s a mystery to me/ How I’m gonna be/ How I’m gonna be/ Without you

Of the spirits and the things that walk around/ I know I’m free/ I’m above ground/ I’m above ground/I’m above ground/ You and the wind/ Push everything away/ What the hell baby can I even say?/ Even say/ Even say/ I know why/ You couldn’t stay/ The wind and the waves/ The winter caves/ The ghost of Santa Fe/ In my dreams baby/ I’m drowning all the time/ You never throw me a line/ You never throw me a line/ Could it get any better?/ Could it get any worse?/ Could it get any better?/ Could it get any worse?/ When you think you’re moving forward/ But you’re stuck in reverse/ When you think you’re moving forward/ But you’re stuck in reverse/ Of the spirits and the things that walk around/ I know I’m free/ I’m above ground/ I’m above ground/I’m above ground/ You and the wind/ Push everything away/ What the hell baby can I even say?/ Even say/ Even say
