Well all the pride I held inside would puff me up
And I'd scream and yell, leaving my heart an empty shell
And all the jealousy would breed deceit between your heart and mine
But there were tender things we used to do, I'd walk with you
A little canoe, where I'd row with you towards our dreams
Now oil away, and fly away, and lay in wait
And won't come back until we are together 

I'll come back, I'll come back if you want me to
Girl just ask, girl just as is all you've got to do 
I've been waiting on those words since I left you
Ask me back, ask me back is all you've got to do 

All the pain you held inside had shut you up
In all that silence there, seemed to me like you didn't care 
Those insecurities would start as seeds, and grow to strangle our dreams
Through all the swamps that we'd been through, you carried me
I carried you through the Spanish moss and tangled vines 
Now oil away, and fly away, and lay in wait
And won't come back until we are together 

I'll come back, I'll come back if you want me to
Girl just ask, girl just as is all you've got to do 
Cause I've been waiting on those words since I left you
So ask me back, ask me back is all you've got to do 

I'll Come Back

The taller they rise up
The greater the sunlight is 
But the mowers and threshers
Are chopping down the blades
And who would have thought 
Such orange and yellow shades of vests
Could ever be taking away
I swear I swear the wild grasses will return

I tried not to show it 
That I could ever be hurt again
But I played on the shores 
And I tiptoed by the waves 
And who would have thought 
Such orange and yellow gleams of light 
Could ever be drawing me in 
I swear, I swear the wild wild waves will return
I swear, the wild grasses will return

Mowers & Threshers

I woke up to the doggies just a-howlin'
That Colorado river was a-growlin'
And a rugged band of riders, it was my own kin
Well I could still see the moon up before the dawnin'

I listened very closely, to what they told to me
About a treasure halfway between here and Wyoming
We could make it in a fortnight, if I take the lead
And a quarter would be mine, they asked do I agree

I should've took that southbound train
And once I got to Santa Fe
I would've changed my name 
Instead I got mixed up again

We lit out that very morning underneath the moon
Like four conquistadores destined for fortune 
But I couldn't help but thinking about my Maybelline 
Just one more job and I'll go straight, and she'll marry me

I should've took that southbound train
And once I got to Santa Fe
I would've changed my name 
Instead I got mixed up again

Sometimes I hear that southbound train
A-pushin' on to Santa Fe
Its driving me insane 
Imagining what could've been

Before The Dawning

She carried a letter, though she never learned to read
Scraggled by a soldier at the dawning of the end
Before he headed south, he made a promise and a prayer
"May we rest our bones beneath the riviera hay."

"Perhaps I'll see you friend or perhaps I won't again
I don't know if I will."
"And you have been my love, and if the good Lord thinks it best
Perhaps we'll meet again."

A rustle in the night, the mighty Brazos is a bed
His skin is dark as soil
The cattle took a fright, as the light lit up the sky
The sound of cannon fire 

The Riviera Hay

Riding through the canyon
Swimming in the rain 
Building a religion
Tell me whose to blame
We all got problems
We all need love 
And this cruel world can be a beautiful world
If you take it how it comes

And I'll go dancing in the midst of the shadows
I row without a paddle 
In a deluge so deep
The night is going to reclaim you and me 

Running in the desert 
A forest full of green
Climbing up a mountain 
Dive into sea 
We all got problems
We all need love 
And this cruel world can be a beautiful world
If you take it how it comes



In The Midst Of The Shadows

Baby can you bless me 
Down goes the sun 
Moving through night
Like cool burning cha-ri-ot 

My body's elevating
To a higher plane 
Tell me love  
Do you wanna fly with me again

And I can't let go
Of the feeling
Of the wind and the rhythm
And you right next to me

Don't want to let go
Of the feeling
Of the wind and the rhythm
And you right next to me

Baby can you bless me
Could you be the one 
We can run forever
Forever on the run 

My soul is levetating
To a higher plane
Tell me love
Do you wanna fly with me again

Wind & Rhythm

Well I miss you again
And was it appropriate ever to
Call you a friend

Did I lie to myself
And heaven to creation only knows 
Will I lie again

What used to be
Kaleidoscope anarchy 
A haven for bees and degrees 
On a molten sea
Of everything, revelry 
Was cause for surprise (in your gentle eyes)

Well I miss you again
And time is a movie a picture show
The credits won't end 

Place this world on a shelf
Four letters have never yet to describe 
Why these bridges won't bend

What used to be
Kaleidoscope anarchy 
A haven for bees and degrees 
On a molten see 
Of everything, revelry 
Was cause for surprise (in your gentle eyes)

Kaleidoscope Anarchy

I remember when in kindergarten
All the scores were even back then
Building cars and cities out of blocks 
And learning how to write the alphabet

I remember then how all us friends 
Would stand around in a circle holding hands 
Then all at once the recess bell would sound
We'd all go rushing towards the playground

But oh how the tides have changed 
Come rushing in and carving up every single old thing
And oh the canyons that they make
Are the wrinkles which cut across my dear and only face
Are the wrinkles which come and then they're gone without a trace
A trace 

I remember when in kindergarten
All the scores were even back then
Building cars and cities out of blocks 
And learning how to write the alphabet

Wrinkles

O ceu esta claro 
O tempo esta bom
Voce ao meu lado 
E no meu coração

Estamos ligados 
Nessa estrada sinuosa
Por onde andamos
Jeito fabulosa

Vamos se apaixonar
Nos apaixonar
Vamos se apaixonar
Oh yeah

E quando a tristeza 
Vem pra pasar 
E tudo a lindeza parece que 
Nao podia durar 

So lembra de 
A bondade 
Eu te prometo 
Vamos aguentar

Vamos Nos Apaixonar

So there you were
Thumbing through a book on the A train
Lips stained chocolate cinnamon
That's when you blew my brain

They're gathering around
Lord already knows it's a heat wave
But you don't even want to be saved
Girl you'll be the death of me

Let's climb higher
We can ride our bikes in the countryside
This sweet surrender I'll make to you
Turning my wild skies electric blue
I wouldn't say so if it wasn't true
Sunflowers rise up for girls like you

Sunflowers rise up for girls like you
Empires crumbling for girls like you
Sun showers shine down for girls like you
Gravity breaks
Sunflowers rise up for girls like you
Empires crumbling for girls like you
Sun showers shine down for girls like you
Shimmering oceans for girls like you

Let's not wait
We can lay all day by the crystal lake
This sweet surrender I'll make to you
Turning my wild skies electric blue
I wouldn't say so if it wasn't true
Sunflowers rise up for girls like you
