Lyrics: Something in the Weather
I’ve been walking around the block
Trying to get all my thoughts in order
In the summertime it seems everything runs to dreams
The trick is in knowing where lies the border
Well now the days just last and last
Yes and the years go by so fast
If we think this is as good as it gets why ask
For something better
Must be something in the weather
Long days lead to nights of restless sleep
There are secrets I keep that I’m scared to let out of the darkness
The way I want to live is a simple life it’s black and white
But I can’t seem to fight all the gray that still pulls like a harness
Well now the days just last and last
Yes and the years go by so fast
If we think this is as good as it gets why ask
For something better
Must be something in the weather
And all the passion all the fear
All the little crimes that we committed
There never was a war except the ones we fought against ourselves
We did it
Now the choices I make and all the mistakes
Are mine alone and I know of the home from where I come
But I know too that the walls hold no protection at all
In the face of the call of something I will no longer hide from
Well now the days just last and last
Yes and the years go by so fast
If we think this is as good as it gets why ask
For something better
Must be something in the weather

Spark
I feel like I just got a chance
A little glimpse a second glance
Don’t know what to do with it
Should I abide it or should I quit
Thought the smartest thing to do
Was moving on and over you
From when I thought I had to smash and grab it
What if all this time I already had it
Blame the heat and blame the moon
Blame seeing you too soon
Blame the way you just showed up
Blame the coffee in my cup
The smell of your wicked hair
Rising sweetly in the air
The way the sundress that you wear
Cuts away and then it flares
And maybe I just don’t care
Oh so it goes and so it goes
Do you suppose I am too close
Take matters out of my hands
Forget the need to take a stand
Forget sticking to your patch of land
And all the things we couldn’t understand
Seems like if I don’t know
The safest place for me to go
Is right on home to be alone
But what if I don’t want to go
The hardest place to be is in the dark
Waiting on the smallest little spark

Careful What You Say
Wednesday night ain’t nobody’s fault
Nobody thought it was gonna be like this
We all thought it was gonna be a whole lot easier
Instead it turned out to be more like a near miss
Somebody asked me if you tell the truth more when you’re drunk
I said it doesn’t make a difference either way
If you gotta get a bellyful just to say something to somebody
Odds are the night’s gonna end with someone walking away
Careful what you say
Careful what you say
Careful what you say
Take it easy
I spent years and years waiting on the truth
A truth that never got told
You wait around that long for something you’re never gonna get baby
You’re gonna walk away feeling good and old
Yeah you think I’m a grown up woman
You look at the lines on my face
You say right there, there’s your proof, uh uh baby don’t get fooled
Ain’t nothin but a little girl in this place
Careful what you say
Careful what you say
Careful what you say
Take it easy
And all of the things we say
The reasons why we run away
Are mostly just to make us feel
Like somehow we are safe
All this experience leaves us somewhere
In between the old ways and the change
Yeah we get to choose which way we head from here baby
We get to figure out what things we wanna rearrange
See I might come a long long way just to meet you
I might leave with a smile on my face
I might be devastated blown away just to see you
It might be the hardest thing to walk away
Careful what you say
Careful what you say
Careful what you say
Take it easy

Time
I have spent my whole life wondering
What goes last and what comes first
If you got something good to drink love
I am looking to quench my thirst
All you see is all the danger
When you try to stay so safe
But when you stop being scared of the dark love
That’s when light fills up the cave
Ain’t talkin bout water
Ain’t talkin bout wine
Aint’ talkin religion
Just talkin bout time
Oh lord won’t you look down on us
See the child with the curly hair
Won’t you bless her with lots of feelings
Won’t you give her good shoes to wear
For the things that we seek are hidden
And the places we go might sting
But when we know that we come from love lord
Then our voices learn to sing
Ain’t talkin bout water
Ain’t talkin bout wine
Aint’ talkin religion
Just talkin bout time
All the storms that come in the springtime
All the questions for the ages
They come and go like waves on the water
While we are learning to be sages
So if you’re going somewhere nice love
Maybe I could come along too
It’s a long walk if you’d like some company
And I would like to walk with you
Ain’t talkin bout water
Ain’t talkin bout wine
Aint’ talkin religion
I’m just talkin bout some time

Tide & Moon
I had a dream we were in the water
Cold and deep we were down below
And we could breathe
And when I came up reaching you had floated off
And then came back to me
And you were shining
Then I ebbed away
And you were fading
It was as if I were the tide
And you the always changing moon
