No More Lonely

written with Justin Hayward Young in NY December 2013.

------
Baby can you tell me something you started
That didn’t leave you so broken hearted
Hope is always something lost
Another love, another cross to bear
Are you still there?

If fate would have you change your tune
Could you let me down on a gemini moon

Cause if you ain’t got the time
And i’ve got all my doubts
Well you know
This’ll never work itself out

Vest is pressed, your wild tamed
Gave the beast a brand new name
But it’s when you’re playing by the rules
You realize it’s just another game

So clear your head and make some room
Here it comes, that Gemini Moon

And if you ain’t got the time 
And I got all my doubts
Well you know
This’ll never work itself out

Clear your head and make some room
Here it comes again, that Gemini moon

And if you ain’t got the time 
And I got all my doubts
Well you know
This’ll never work itself out

Stop hangin on the line
And pourin your heart out
When you know 
This’ll never work itself out

Clear your head. 

Gemini Moon

written with Matthew Perryman Jones November 2013.
recorded with Jordan Lehning February 2014.

Remember saying oh the places we'd go
Once we found the road to take us there
But we spent too much time waitin' by the window
And ended up not going anywhere

Always thought you'd be the kind for leaving
Bet you thought I'd be the one to run 
But you can't get a stain out of a ceiling 
When you don't know where the water's coming from 

There's a room in everyone
Where a cold answer can be found
And if a word can knock down a wall
Then this house is just a box upon the ground

Wonder if we're speaking the same language
Nothing I hear makes much sense at all 
Oh, but I could never shake this foreign feeling
And you could never tell me what it's called

There's a room in everyone
Where a cold answer can be found
And if a word can knock down a wall
Then this house is just a box upon the ground

Cold Answer

My friend Willie Breeding and I worked this story and song up from a chorus he was carrying around for a while. I've always been quite fond of it even though it wraps up rather miserably. 
-----------------------------------------
Got a suitcase full of magazines
Change of clothes and nothin' else
I'll buy a bottle when I get there
and roll these cigarettes myself

Always felt at home in Tennessee
New York City, she's a friend of mine
But baby you're the one for me
and I been thinkin bout you all the time

Whether by car by train by horse or plane
I will get to you
Ain't no snow no rain, ain't no earthly thing
keeping me from you
Be still, my love, and I'll see you
By the morning light
Cause baby you're the one for me
And I've been thinkin bout you all the time

Hoped that it'd be good to hear from me
And that these late night calls don't bother you
I guess you never hear it ring
And anyway babe there ain't nothin new
There's already no more time to spare
All you gotta do is count the hours
All that I can do is lay it there,
this bouquet of flowers

Whether by car by train by horse or plane,
I will get to you
Ain't no snow no rain, ain't no earthly thing 
keeping me from you
Be still, my love, and I'll see you 
by the morning light
Cause baby you're the one for me
And I've been thinkin bout you all the time

Always felt at home in Tennessee
New York City, she's a friend of mine
But baby you're the one for me
and I been thinkin bout you all the time
