Blue Moon
Days are gettin' longer
Still a long way to June
Here between day and evenin’
Nightfall comin’ soon
A Blue moon rising
Not so far on our horizon
And now she’s gaining sky
Lighting up the countryside
You looked at me
And we both knew
Nights like these
Only come around
Once in a blue
Once in a blue
Once in a blue moon
Guess by now we know
These moments are rare
A little taste of heaven
To have and to share
The night opens wide
Clear in the winter sky
Down below we hold each other
For a little while

Sierra Winds
What brought you here to ride sierra winds
Where you climbed to delight in the view
There your spirit flew
High into the blue
The moanin’ of the ghosts are growing
Mountain mist and the woodsmoke mix
People are tendin’ their little fires
Warmin’ the spaces in their old houses
Closer together ‘til the world disappears
All we are all we ever need is right here
Spirits on the wind are beginning to stir
Lines in between are starting to blur
Take in a deep drink of evening
And we drift away

Trouble in the Country
Daylight fading
My time has come
Ain’t gonna hide
And I ain’t gonna run
Cause I ain’t backing down no more
Wouldn’t be right
If he wasn’t high
Stoned outta his mind
In an hour
He’ll be kickin in my door
Trouble in the country tonight
A shadow I can’t lose
Trouble in the country tonight
There’s a mad dog on the loose
No one at all to hear my call
When I see that man
I’m gonna take a stand
Cause I can’t take it anymore
Here in the drawer I keep a 44
Tonight the countryside gonna hear it roar
Cause I ain’t backing down no more

Wild Heart
They’ve fenced off the west
Barbed wires cannot stop
Your restless spirit from blowing free
Who can name these forces
That charge our passions
And stir our deepest needs
Love is the highest art
But who will tame your wild heart
Beyond the glow
Of campfire light
Our bodies tremble at the sight
Like the dawn, we are powerfully born
Shivers sweepin over the open plains

Dance Floor (High Above the World)
We step without touching the ground
Then lift off of the earth
What could gravity say
That could make the weightless obey
I'm no dancer
But when we wrap our arms around each other
We're on a dance floor
High above the world
Take a good look around
This world has so many people down
Wrapped in chains they can't even see
Who among us can afford to be free
We could leave' em all behind
With power in mind
Step outside of time and rise
Somewhere between the stars & the skies

Someone Else

There’s Someone Else
She got her mind packed
And walkin down the hall
Been too long since she felt anything
For him at all
It’s hard to explain
Even a fool can tell
Ooo There’s someone else
Taken for granted
Love can’t help but fade
You only get so many flickers
That turn to flame
Walkin’ around in a daze
Like she’s under a spell
Ooo There’s someone else
There’s someone
You been dreamin on
It’s the feelin’ in the breeze that comes before the storm
Can’t deny what the heart can’t help
Won’t be long before she gives herself
Ooo To someone else
When she rolls over
To hide the tears
That’s been stored away
For all those years
A feelin’s comin on strong
That she can’t help
Ooo There’s someone else

High Country
This hard livin been wearin’ me thin
And I’m gonna disappear
Where the air is pure and the sky is clear
All my thoughts dissolve into blue
Rinsed clean by evening
And settles down into mornin’ dew
Like this mountain
I’m still standing strong
Like this old wind
I been riding on
Up here where this mountain meets the sky
You can see so clearly
In High Country
Lightning strike this mountain,
Thunder in our hearts
This fire
Splits the darkness in two
Heard in the heaven,
And in the valley down below
This rumbling,
Felt for many miles

Thousand Miles
Sun is warm again today
A thousand miles away
But it’s not as warm,
As warm as your smile
And it’s nice,
All the while
Though it’s not as nice as your smile
Sky is cloudless blue today
A thousand miles away
But it’s not as blue,
As blue as your eyes
But it’s alright,
The light is shining through
Though it’s not as blue as your smile
Breeze is blowing softly today
A thousand miles away
But it’s not as soft,
Soft as your touch
Yeah but it’s good,
Good enough,
Though it’s not as soft as your touch
