Solitary is the soul that trembles
at the fear that's made by man
oh it is the great controller
and I would stand alone
yes I would stand alone
and watch the swiftness of the words
There's been a stronger mind
that had let the future come
and tried not to understand
and that's all that can be done
and first they fly and then they fall
yeah first they fly and then they fall
And I watched the swiftness of the words
yeah I watched the swiftness of the words
and they feed like birds upon the mind
and nest a while then fly away
but the memory always stays
yeah the memory always stays
And it was a shallow pool
yeah it was a shallow pool
yeah it was a shallow pool
in which the tree child drowned

Upper Ojai

There's no birds in the sky
it's so hot they can't fly
in Upper Ojai
There's smoke in the air and the flames are high
and maybe I heard a chain saw cry
in Upper Ojai
The ash on the ground are the walls that die
white like the snow there they lie
in Upper Ojai
And the rain doesn't fall
and the bobcat calls
and the fuel that burns
is from the earth that turns
and her wounds are inside
the tears drilled deep in her eyes
and the wells running dry
in Upper Ojai
in Upper Ojai
in Upper Ojai

Rain Dances Down
04:29

Tonight no rain's going to come
and take the heat from the sun
and I walked with your words
spilling into the street I was on
Through the dryness felt the softest
waves asking to be saved
where the gate to the garden
was locked was dark was wrong
The non-believer stood still
wrapped in weapons called truth
that she fired without thought
of her lives came alive
And she wasted her time
trying to win over the world
she was shooting me down
and for a while there was ground
But there was love to be found
where the river sings without sound
and the path winding down
was where we went, where we went
There rain dances in the dark
as the dry grasses that shade
the linen like leaves
of the dreams that we weaved
and I can feel what you feel
and the sky holds the stars
and you're holding the world
and you said you'd give it to me
and for a while it seemed real
as the rain dances down
yeah the rain dances down

Faith

Faith was flying like a bird away
came the winter then the cold
and hey, it just wouldn't stay
she was just a shelter that
was a storm arranged and
paid for and flying brought
him down, amongst the waves
the waves the waves
that dance across the bay
Engine sounds it's power and changes
fade blossomed branches sway
in the wind each drifting day
I'll be home again she said
and he caught her words
it's only time that teaches me
that faith will just fade
will fade will fade
and dance into the haze
I am the only one who's ever seen the light
he says he says he says he says
and reaches out towards the air
But faith was flying like a bird away
faith was flying like a bird away
just wouldn't stay
just wouldn't stay
just wouldn't stay
