Peaceful Ambassador

I’ve been a peaceful ambassador
Wandered ‘round this whole world
I’ve sung a song of sorrow
Don’t know ‘bout tomorrow
I was born a child of the moon
With a gold mane, and a sharp tooth
See a big star climbing up the mountain rising
Has two horns and a sharp smile
When I sang my words did fly
Like pollen air on a spring night
Did my best to stay alive
From darkness to the daylight
I’ve been gone seven years
I felt love, shed tears
I’ll see you on that blue horizon soon
By the time that dogwood blooms
When I sang my words did fly
Like pollen air on a spring night
Did my best to stay alive
From darkness to the daylight
I’ve been a peaceful ambassador
Made my home in the wind
Crossed that great wide open solitude
To end where I began
To end where I began

Transmigration Blues
06:05
|

I was out a walkin’
Down a dark old avenue
Thought that I could see you
In the halo of the moon
There's so many people on the move
The night is long, as the day is new
Now, I’m here
Tryin’ to make some sense
Of the howling wind
Baby, if there's any
Way to make it through
I’ll go with you
Through these
Transmigration blues
Wanna tell you something
Wanna let it out
It's a different kind of freedom
Sayin’ it aloud
There’s signs, wonders and dreams
I could drown in their reality
Now, I’m here
Tryin’ to make some sense
Of the howling wind
Baby, if there's any
Way to make it through
I’ll go with you
Through these
Transmigration blues

Deep Water, Strange Wind
03:21

Water signs in a hotel room
Got laid out on a stranger moon Held my breath, took a dive with you Got real low in the endless blue
You got eyes made of wide open sky I been out on a long midnight
Guess we all get dark sometimes Ain’t no weight of mind
-
I fell into deep water
Deep water my friend
I got caught, in a strange wind A strange wind
-
Woke up late with a smile on my face What we doing out here anyways? Been a long time far away
It's getting hard to say
Few days out I’m further down the road You’re out there half way ‘round the globe Feel it come, feel it go
Feel a strange wind blow
-
I fell into deep water
Deep water my friend
I got caught, in a strange wind A strange wind

Deja Vu
07:22
|
|||
When I found out,
Was somewhere south of Tucson, Arizona
In a lavender blue
Now there ain't nothing
Not saying a word or trying to change what is coming
A déjà vu
Shine a little light on me
I don't need much
Just enough to see
Save a little air for me
I don't need much
Just enough to breathe
The sky is crowded
With a million lights just trying to get through a darkness
And find a way through
Guess I’ll lay down
And find a star that I can put your name on
And try to get new
Shine a little light on me
I don't need much
Just enough to see
Save a little air for me
I don't need much
Just enough to breathe

Bama Boys Circa 2005
03:13

Drinking on sap from the pines
Smoke rings in my mind
Runnin’ ‘round with those bama boys
Down the I-85
Do anything for a thrill
Just to feel something real
Got some friends and some wasted gear
They know just how I feel
Bored
Been out there playin’ with fire
Don't it burn like desire?
Kinda feel like I'm breaking out
Stepping out on a wire
Blue sky, brown corn fields
We been driving for years
In a van filled with wasted joy
Down a highway of tears
It feels like
It feels like something
Good
Creedence and Carolina
Ain't the roads just like vines
Runnin’ ‘round with those bama boys
Circa 2005

Play me that song on the fiddle, babe
I can play the guitar too
Feel a little lost in the middle way
Don't know how to hold onto you
Ain’t looking for the top
I’m looking for the edge
Wanna feel the weight
Of nothingness
In a way I'm broken
In a way I've always been
Feels like falling
Into a great wide open
Was a tributary love song, babe
Flowing in and out of your life
A storm cloud out on the borderline
Or some kind of plastic Christ
Don’t it feel divine
Moving in between
All this nothingness
and everything
In a way I’m broken
In a way I’ve always been Feels like falling
Into a great wide ope

Equinox Receiver
03:26
|
|||
Baby, summer’s almost gone
It's been a little while
since I reached out and felt the cold
Feel somewhere in between
Golden and green
An equinox receiver
Walking in a dream
Only thing I know
It's a strange wind that blows
From the east river out
To the red rocky road
I know, you been past it for some time
But you know, that my wheels keep
Spinning right through the badlands
To the Garden of Eden
Feel somewhere in between
Golden and green
An equinox receiver
Walking in a dream
Only thing I know
It's a strange wind that blows
From the east river out
To the red rocky road

Road to Heaven
03:46
|
|||
There's no silver or gold
In the stories that were told
‘Bout walking down the road to heaven
I took no advice and set my sights
Further down the road to heaven
All my life I been runnin’ after
Horizons and sky
Little death, you are on the pasture
With a moon on the rise
The hours getting late
I’m climbing up a gate
And knockin’ on the door to heaven
Paisley covered walls
Your pictures hung and all
Won't you open up my eyes to heaven
Come on, open up my eyes to heaven
All my life I been runnin’ after
Horizons and sky
Little death, you are on the pasture
With a moon on the rise
Take me to your room
With flowers in bloom
And every sight’s like a new morning
Come on, lay me down, put me in a cloud
And let it linger on for everafter
Yeah, let it linger on for everafter
