What use is a word, that don't mean what it says? Like a story book sunset it's better off read. How far is a memory, how long is a blues? Which way is a road in the wrong pair of shoes?

I Know Water 03:27
I know water, I've been caught in the rain, and that's a lot like sunshine, yeah they're about the same. It's a lot like leaving and coming back again. I know water.
3.
Skipping stone how it flies on the water. Wandering child how she laughs in the sunshine. Beating heart, whittling blade in the black bark. Lover's laugh don't it sing like a fountain.
4.
I heard it on the radio
5.
We gathered all our things. Beginning with the big stuff, cause the big stuff is so easy to find. Then we loaded up a flat bed truck, joked a little and acted tough, and then we looked at all the stuff we left behind.
6.
Ace come on with red lights flashing, king and queen in kind. Big X sparkling in my hand, but not the jack of diamonds, no, I did not draw the sad eyed prince, a card I could not find.
7.
They say, she's gone to the lowlands. Lost again in the barrows. Somewhere she is wandering all alone, can't remember home.
8.
Like A Train 04:30
It's like a train. It's a real fast train on a foggy track, on a great long journey and it don't look back.
9.
There ain't no stars in the sky at the muddy, sun's so big now it scared 'em all away. Here I'll stay past the blue gone ruddy, I'll make me a wish on the very first ray.
10.
At the dawn, I am marching. Through the dark I am wandering on and on. Tell me where is shelter. Tell me where is solid ground. Come around little wonder. It's all right when I hold to you.
11.
The poetry of longing is a deeply clanging bell, they say you never miss your water til there's no water in you well; and the moon is just as lonesome while it's rising to the black, as when it's sinking down, you think it's never coming back.

about

Eleven original songs played on acoustic guitar and sung into three microphones until they came out close to right. No edits. Don't bother if you only love quantized, pitch corrected, punched in recordings.
