May Love 04:02
Keep her in the warmest place Keep her out of the dark Hold her till she's closed her eyes Till she's got another start (Don't you wanna) See the fear thats in her eyes grow into wanderlust (Won't you be the) One who tells her its alright she's got someone to trust Oh dance in the daylight oh dance at the start Don't wait till the moment is past in the dark Just give me a reason for love in my heart And wherever you go oh may love carry you far (Oh these are the best times) Bring her to a better place Hold her hand just right I know you need to be the one who tells her to go and try (Don't you wanna) See the fear thats in her eyes grow into wanderlust (Won't you be the) One who tells her its alright she's got someone to trust

Minor Bird 04:20
I have wished a bird would fly away And not sing by my house all day I have clapped my hands at him from the door When it seemed I couldn't bear it anymore. The fault must have partly been in me. The bird was not to blame for his key. And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence his song. Fly away little bird fly far Take your tune away from this empty heart Take your songs, take them far from me Leave me as my truth lies in the dark

Trails 03:08
Little did I know that wherever I go what whatever I've had I've been trailing a mountain All the evergreen Well it couldn't cover me The bitter cold is here And the wind it follows me Kettle did you warm up All the bitter cold hearts My thoughts go too fast Along the pines oh sounding The nearest shore well it's miles and miles away From nearly dawn to dusk I feel the wind It's here to stay Could I start to tell you oh how everything I've seen Down the moonlit path these ashes oh they trail behind me We die for truth, we die for love it's all the same I can't keep up with lightning but these words they will remain And all the rivers in the world can't run from me

Trinket 02:34
Oh, the sun beamed down on our promising love Oh, the silly little riverbed gave way Oh, the loons called out and the sea came by She waved, "hello" but we had to say, "goodbye" But we said, "goodbye" Oh we said, "goodbye" I've moved many times and threw tiny stones The ancient grains fed us, they fed my bones Lead me not astray oh the nightingale Hear my cry, hear my call (Oh please hear) My tale It will reveal my fate and we said goodbye we said goodbye Will you remember, is this lost forever What did you find, what did you bury Tiny feathers, trinkets, and shiny rocks we threw Is there a body in the ground?

River 04:03
Thought I saw you there across the river It made me shiver The thought of seeing you So close so true Gave my garden water just a tither But rain fell like slivers Oh how it all came down Washed me in and out Thought I'd sing me just a little song of hope Thought I'd wander near the gate I loved you so This is how I spend my time all just for you Hear my call and maybe I'll just sing you home Sing you home Sing you home Sing you home Thought I saw you there across the river It made me shiver The thought of seeing you So close so true Walked into my home alone I never Ever feel better Tea cup at the dawn Always makes me calm Maybe I'll just sing you home

The Years 05:04
Every millionth person may be someone like you I would never look to find out if that is true You grin at everything I say, Close your eyes or look away Keep on telling me somehow Our best days are coming now Simple signs I'm reading on Tell me lately how we've won But can you feel the way I do When all is said and bridges burned Will you climb the gate over ivy and dew Soft and slow without a sound When all is said and done for now The cornerstone has stayed Since I fell for you I will always be the one To be better for you Simple signs I'm reading on Tell me lately how we've won But can you feel the way I do When all is said and bridges burned Will you climb the gate over ivy and dew Soft and slow without a sound When all is said and done for now The cornerstone has stayed Since I fell for you

I could not be more responsible For all the forester brings me home All of these woods I've watched over I carry them on alone And I could try to forget all the stories I've known But why couldn't I pass on them to the foresters' own Pass them on to the foresters' own
