Ten Years
You were only 21, took my heart in Washington
You were serious and so damn smart
At 22, we coalesced, hopped the train and headed West to Victoria
I swore that you were the one
Now our skies are always grey
Never know quite what to say
Should have told you, now it's too little too late
Should have told you, now it's too little too late
What I'd give to touch your skin
Feel your fingers let me in, you said "sorry, I'm just a little too tired"
I know I was in the wrong
the Devil told me all along
you'd be ok, but now it's been so long.
Are you ok? Cuz it's been so long.
Ten years in the making
Ten years two hearts breaking
Oh, love me or let me go
In Harbourville, I tried to leave
You had your chance at 23 to forget me
but you begged me to stay
In Lawrencetown at 31, you sat me down and said it's done
then you walked out, a decade gone
You walked out, a decade gone
Too many thoughts fill my head
Too many words gone unsaid, like I miss you
I want to turn you on
Ten years in the making
Ten years two hearts breaking
Oh, love me or let me go

Flesh and Bone
He grabbed his robe, tuned the station, got the bottom line
Find your place, find your patience, this is a test of time
A warning came the dawn before, a war's a coming
Batten your hatch and close the door, don't you let it in
He laid a path over the hard snow where not a foot had tread
He said "farewell my dear companion," as he cleared his chest
Flesh and bone, I love you
Flesh and boned, I'm going
He lit a fire, kettle boiling, built a bed of boughs
Love, I hear you calling, I'm gonna figure this out.
Flesh and bone, I need you
Flesh and bone, I'm coming
A warning came the dawn before, a war's a coming
Batten your hatch and close the door, don't you let it in
Flesh and bone, I love you,
Flesh and bone
Flesh and bone, I need you
Flesh and bone, I'm coming

Move Still
Clouds roll on up above
As I dream about what they're made of
The river cries in rain upon my window
As I lay back down.
Body still, mind racing
Body move, mind still.
I trust that you will come for me,
Any time you need.
So go on, get up off you're knees
We've had enough of all of that
Body still, mind racing
Body move, mind still
You can't be what you can't see
Hanging wishes on a tree
Doing it's best, just like me
Body still, mind racing
Body move, mind still
Body still, mind racing
Body move, mind still

For Better or Worse
Dear John,
This is my letter to you
I've been hanging 'round, somebody who
Shakes me up, loves me good
When you're gone, so far
Forever never seemed
This hard at the start
Dear John
Dear Jane,
I've been thinking 'bout you
Wondering if you're staying strong and true
It breaks me up, lose my cool
When I'm gone, so far
Forever never seemed
So hard at the start
Dear Jane
For better or worse,
I've been thinking 'bout me
Like Mazlow, I've got needs
To shake it up, soften my knees
Easy love, easy nights
When you're gone,
Gone is my mind
Dear John,
You outta know
I like the way he works
His fingers so
He wakes me up, loves me good
When you're gone, so far
Forever never seemed
To hard at the start
Dear John
For better or worse, I've been thinking 'bout me
Like Mazlow, I've got needs
To shake it up, soften my knees
Easy love, easy nights
When you're gone,
Gone is my mind

Second Chance Survival
Take these shackles off your shoulders
You regimented soldiers
Standing in your regimented lines
All will stay the same
Nothing can ever change
If you never change, you never change
Gotta move to feel, breathe in
This is your second chance survival
Gotta move to feel, breathe in
This is your second chance
Been dazed, confused, troubled by the news
Heavy hearts, heavy minds
Breath take your fill, toes keep me still,
Quit running, running, running from your days gone by
Gotta move to feel, breathe in
This is your second chance survival
Gotta move to feel, breathe in
This is your second chance
These bones, this skin, the stories within
My body, body, body is keeping score
The shadows in your blood, fire in your bones
Tell the ones you love, you're coming home
Gotta move to feel, breathe in
This is your second chance survival
Gotta move to feel, breathe in
This is your second chance

This Old Town
I need a ladder, take it to the top
Ssnakes always bring me down, bringing me down
One for the money, two for the show
All dressed up with nowhere to go,
In this old town.
Just another wrung before I come undone.
I'm sinking in this old town.
Dreamers to the canyon, liars to the hill
Diggers to the mine, go on get your fill, get your fill
Fantasies forgotten, left here for the squattin'
White picket fences laying on the ground, all around
Just another wrung before I come undone.
I'm sinking in this old town.
You bring the papers, I'll bring the letters
We'll take the pieces and sew 'em together,
Tales of time.
History in the making, chances are for taking,
You take yours and I'll take what's mine
We'll be alright.
Just another wrung before I come undone.
I'm sinking in this old town.
But I can linger here a little longer.
I'm home in this old town.

Sailor's Wife
I used to be a sailor's wife
I sailed his every ocean blue.
I rode his tides and his red-skied nights,
But a sailing life will never do.
I used to be a farmer's wife.
His soil I tilled with care.
But his greens and golds and stories untold.
Left me with nothing to bare.
Then I found you,
You took me for a ride.
You hugged my curves,
Geared up my nerves
To take this road for life.
I'll take this road for life.
I used to be a soldiers wife,
And I marched his thin red line.
But I wave my flag with nothing to save.
A hero's life never was mine.
So I found you,
You took me for a ride.
You hugged my curves,
Geared up my nerves
To take this road for life.
I'll take this road for life.
I used to dream of solitude,
An island in the rough.
But you broke my skin,
Brought out the in.
Lonely is never enough.
No, lonely is never enough.
So I found you,
You took me for a ride.
You hugged my curves,
Geared up my nerves
To take this road for life.
I'll take this road for life.

Highway Woman
She set out as the sun came up, her baby half asleep
Put her Blue Ridge in the truck
said, "I gotta leave"
This house we built, it sure is fine, our life is just the same
She said "you know I love you, but the road's been calling me"
Some men are prone to go blind
Along the calf paths of their minds
They work all day from sun to sun doing what the others have done
but she is prone to be free
says "this path don't bother me"
She'll dance for a dollar, dance for a dime
Just to get her next fix of those white lines
She was a highway woman
Fell in love with the open road
Calico Queen
Calamity Jane
Hero of the Plains
The gravel kicked a cloud of dust,
The sky turned red to blue
She told me she'd be back again
Back then she never knew
She was a highway woman
Fell in love with the open road
Calico Queen
Calamity Jane
Hero of the Plains

Honey and Rain
I'll love you to the moon, and I'll love you back
I'll love you for the parts you say you lack
I'll be in your dreams, if you'll be in mine too
Everything is better with you
So move on little black rain cloud
Pay no attention to me
Move on little black rain cloud
My honey is waiting for me
I wonder what it is you are doing
Wish I was doing it too
It's the littles things that fill my heart
I need a little less what, a little more who
So hold on to these moments
Whatever it takes to get through
Remember you're brave, you're strong and you're smart
And all my best days are with you
So move on little black rain cloud
Pay no attention to me
Move on little black rain cloud
My honey is waiting for me

The Good
Headlines all read, the same old story
Hate your neighbour, murder turned to glory.
The anchorman and the paperboy, reporters on TV
They speak of blame, they speak of fear,
They say our world’s gone mad,
But it’s always been a little mad, it's always been, a little
The days are getting dark, the air is getting cold
My mind is twisted up in knots, my eyes are growing old
But I can find the good in that , I can find the good
I can find the good in that, I can find the good
I dream up monsters under the bed, think in black and blue.
I cower in the corner from the thoughts I hear from you.
But what is it, that you do see from where you stand.
If the sky falls, I’ll hold up your hand
I can find the good in you, I can find the good
I can find the good in you, I can find the good
What you look for, you will find
What you will, is what you get
So find a song that you can sing to,
Find a thought that you can cling to.
I can find the good in that, I can find the good
I can find the good in that, I can find the good
I can find the good in that, I can find the good
I can find the good in that, I can find the good

Gemini
I hung my heart like a sheet on the breeze
Lay it all out in the crook of your sleeve
You said, "buck up baby, surely this should come as no surprise,"
"So long, Gemini"
I ran my fingers through the loops in your name
No birthday greeting's ever felt quite the same
Memories are seeping like the ink upon my skin
Move on, Gemini
Oh, diamond dust and crystal rain
I've been mixing pleasure with my pain
On the rocks again
Our eyes got caught in the grocery line
You took her hand like you once took mine
Tipped your hat, hid your chin in your coat's lapel
And you said, "Gemini, farewell
Oh, diamond dust and crystal rain
I've been mixing pleasure with my pain
On the rocks again
