Jeff Hudgins - clarinet, bass clarinet, saxophone

And then I thought,  "If this is it, then let it come."
These are just lines on a map  I erase them  
Up through the clouds till there's nothing 
But the morning stars 
Oh, when I woke it was night  I had lost a day 
I thought of my mom 
How she'd comb my hair 
And pull the ticks away

And then I thought, "What moon is this below me tonight?"
 And then I thought, " Which sea is this, black and silver in the moonlight?" 
And then I thought that I could leave the dark, but didn't know how
 And then I thought  "No Shape, no time, no nothing can hold me now"

And then I thought,  "If this is it, then let it come.
If this is it, if this is it,
Then let it come."

ENLISTED 
 Matt Bauer - vocal, banjo, Wurlitzer, piano, bells, flute

 Oh, I read it wrong 
The look she gave when the fight began 
Then her face drained  
Like a wolf changes white in winter's bed

All men live and all men die 
So why can't I?  
Why Can't I?

I watched my hands fly from my side
 Two giant white bats  
That cut the line  
And lighted in the black hills of men 
And signed my name 
As if i wasn't there 
Now I guard the valley floor 
And none can see me 
And none shall pass

All men live and all men die 
 So why can't I?  
Why Can't I?

Jolie Holland - vocal

Matt Bauer - acoustic guitar, vocal, vibraphone, bells, Wurlitzer

Black church made of lava sings
 Kids kiss and joke and skate on the steps 
Why am i the lucky one -  to get a taste of the world has done?

A two tone siren rang  
I found a harmony 
And heard the church bells clang 
Your voice shines like a sword 
White-silver in the setting sun

The blue stone alleys wind 
Saint Michael slays the devil for the millionth time 
Why are we the lucky ones? 
Tonight we get to sing our songs.


HOMEWARD BOUND
 Matt Bauer - vocal, acoustic guitar, piano 
Jay Foote - Bass 
Alex Foote - electric guitar 
Eric Elterman - viola

Close your eyes and go to sleep 
And when you wake, you'll wake to be 
With all the dreams 
You thought were torn down 
Close your eyes 
We're homeward bound

Windows down the rain feels good
 Light and warm as the evening comes 
Blue hills, black fences all around
 Close your eyes
 We're homeward bound

Close your eyes and go to sleep 
And when you wake, you'll wake to be 
With all the dreams 
You thought were torn down 
Close your eyes 
We're homeward bound
