Middle of June - Noah Gundersen
Saints and Liars EP

*iphone, one take.

Time is a cold wind blowing through the leaves 
Of a tired old tree simply need.
Where I think about the world and I don't know how 
What will happen to us now? 

And peace is a ladder up to the clouds 
That I'm wishing I could climb but I don't know how 
So would you lend me a hand to the promise land 
Where I'm headed, glory bound

And it comes and it goes
Where it's headed, no one knows
And we come and we go
All the saints and the liars, sittin' by the fire
What will happen to us now?

And hatred is a sharp knife held by the blade
It's cutting in your palm 'til you feel no pain
And burning in your eyes with a righteous rage
'Til the ashes blow away

And love is a thing that you can't define
Though you try with all your might through the riddles and rhymes
But it'll fly you like a kite; it'll throw you to the ground
But that's the best thing I have found.

And it comes and it goes
Where it's headed no one knows
And we come and we go
Like the winter and the spring
Losing everything just to gain it back again

And oh, how pretty is the middle of June?

Oh My Sweet Carolina w/ Shelbee Leigh
http://soundcloud.com/shelbeeleigh

lyrics*
I went down to Houston 
And I stopped in San Antone 
I passed up the station for the bus 
I was trying to find me something 
But I wasn't sure just what 
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust 
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane 
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance 
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain 

Man I ended up with pockets full of cane 
Oh my sweet Carolina 
What compels me to go 
Oh my sweet disposition 

May you one day carry me home 
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life 
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains 
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what 

Funny how they say that some things never change 
Oh my sweet Carolina 
What compels me to go 
Oh my sweet disposition 

May you one day carry me home 
Up here in the city feels like things are closing in 
The sunsets just my light bulb burning out 
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family 

All the sweetest winds they blow across the south 
Oh my sweet Carolina 
What compels me to go 
Oh my sweet disposition 
May you one day carry me home 

May you one day carry me home

Home - Phillip Phillips

Hold on, to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave is stringing us along
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home

Down in the Valley - The Head and the Heart.

I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days

Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

Call it one drink too many
Call it pride of a man
But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand

'Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin
Yeah they both end in trouble and start with a grin

We do it over and over and over again
We do it over and over and over again

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

I know there's California, Oklahoma
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
Down in the valley with
Whiskey rivers
These are the places you will find me hidin'
These are the places I will always go
These are the places I will always go

I am on my way
I am on my way
I am on my way back to where I started

Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

One more for the stars and their eyes in the walls
I hail your face and then, I saw you standing out

I saw your face in the crowd and you came out
You saw me crossing the valley and you came in

Look at the sign on the door and it reads to me
Just like the grass and the sign when you walked in

Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh 

I am on my way
I am on my way
I am on my way back to where I started

California, Oklahoma
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
Down in the valley with
Whiskey rivers
These are the places you will find me hidin'
These are the places I will always go
These are the places I will always go

So I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

"Upward Over The Mountain" - Iron and Wine

Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend
Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds flying upwards over the mountain

Mother I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison
Mother I lost it all of the fear of the Lord I was given
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
Mother forgive me I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons can be birds taken broken up to the mountain

Mother don't worry I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
Mother don't worry she's got a garden we're it planting together
Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry
Blood on the floor and the fleas in their paws
And you cried 'til the morning

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds flying always over the mountain

I Will Follow Love All the Way Home -Tyler Lyle


I will follow love all the way home
Though it breaks my back- and leaves me all alone
I will follow love all the way home
Though I'm sad you've gone away
I hear love, it goes by different names
Though your parting dims the day
Nearly put me in my grave
I will follow love all the way home
Home- where the bedroom smell like clean clothes
Home- where it's alright in the cosmos
Home- you don't think so, but you're so close
Home- if it's not balanced, then it's almost
I will follow love all the way home
I will follow love all the way home
Though it breaks my back- and leaves me all alone
I will follow love all the way home
For those afraid to die alone
Think of all the friends that you have known
And every blade of grass
Every face that kissed you back
All the sunsets and pouring rain
Every joy and Holy pain
Every kiss and bloody stain
Ah, the proof that we have lived!
In no beginning and no end!
Every flash of light you've seen!
Every color every dream!
Will be forever singing on
In the Holy Mind of God-
The Immortal burning Sun with
Every person that you've loved!
And I swear it will be enough.
And you'll be there
And Love will follow you all the way home
Love will follow you all the way home

///
For my Grandma, I love you.
