[Intro]
(Oh la la, oh la)
[Verse 1]
Beneath a salt-bleached sign on the narrow edge
Distant horns drift from a tar-bright lane
The world feels vast, time’s hung up to dry
Ripples look west, restless, half-awake

[Pre-Chorus]
Under patchwork skies, a question rides
On the back of a dying breeze

[Chorus]
Rolling like a tide road
Taking what it needs

[Organ break]
(La la la, oh la)

[Verse 2]
Street dogs singing out behind mango stalls
Paint chips cracking on a rickshaw frame
I walk a spun line, uncertain and alive
History buried in the cracks of my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Clouds slip south, forgot to say goodbye
Tossing miles with every step

[Chorus]
Rolling like a tide road
Taking what it needs

[Solo]
[guitar, organ swirl]

[Bridge]
Midnight vendors burning sandalwood skin
Eyes like lanterns, never close
The pulse finds rhythm, wild and thin
Every color letting go

[Chorus]
Rolling like a tide road
Taking what it needs
(Oh la la, oh la la, la la)

[Outro]
Steps scatter on dust and stone,
Laughter folds into the steam
(La la la, la la, oh la)
Roll on, roll on

Rolling

[Verse 1]
Hey there, can I sit?
Just for a minute,
It’s been a while since I felt sane—
Got my shoes off,
Sun on my neck,
Do you ever think we’re just the same?

[Pre-Chorus]
I laugh too loud,
You roll your eyes,
Still you never walk away—
Isn’t that something?
Isn’t that strange?
Here we are, anyway.

[Chorus]
Is that enough?
Just us out here,
Head full of love,
Heart clear,
Is that enough?
Is that enough?

[Verse 2]
You want answers,
I want peace,
You say your mind runs through the night—
But I’m still stubborn,
Still here with you,
Waiting for the world to feel right.

[Pre-Chorus]
Another question,
Another sigh,
Bare feet in the grass—
Maybe we’re lucky,
Maybe it’s all
Slipping past too fast.

[Chorus]
Is that enough?
Just us out here,
Head full of love,
Heart clear,
Is that enough?
Is that enough?

[Bridge]
If all I’ve got’s this open sky
(blue and wide, blue and wide)
And your laugh beside me—
Why do I still ask why?

[Solo]
[Organ and guitar interplay]

[Chorus]
Is that enough?
Just us out here,
Head full of love,
Heart clear,
Is that enough?
Is that enough?

[Outro]
Maybe that’s enough.

Is That Enough

[Verse 1]
Woke and the sky was burning low
Ash on the windowsill, morning slow
Book left open, window won’t close
Shirt on a nail, half-buried clothes

[Chorus]
Turn back around, see those auburn skies
Turn back around, can’t say goodbye
Oh, auburn skies (auburn sky)
Auburn sky (turn back around)

[Verse 2]
Fire grown cold near the old wood chair
Clock on its side, I pretend not to care
Laugh in my throat, caught unaware
Echoes out loud—was it ever there?

[Chorus]
Turn back around, see those auburn skies
Turn back around, can’t say goodbye
Oh, auburn skies (auburn sky)
Auburn sky (turn back around)

[Bridge]
Rolling fields behind my eyes
Rolling, rolling, passing by
Don’t look for answers I never tried
Still hear the sound, still see those skies

[Chorus]
Turn back around, see those auburn skies
Turn back around, can’t say goodbye
Oh, auburn skies (auburn sky)
Auburn sky (turn back around)

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Turn back around, see those auburn skies
Turn back around, can’t say goodbye
Oh, auburn skies (auburn sky)
Auburn sky (turn back around)

[Outro]
Auburn skies, can’t say goodbye
Auburn sky...

Auburn Sky

[Verse 1]
Hey you, in the faded Levi jeans
Your feet spinning on the floor
Sing it low, catch my eye again
All the color in between

[Verse 2]
I'm just a boy looking your way
You laugh and the summer stays
Candy on your tongue when you speak
I stumble, what should I say?

[Chorus]
Blue eyed girl, spinning my world
Turn around, turn around, let me see
Blue eyed girl, bright as the swirl
Turn around, turn around, stay with me

[Verse 3]
It's simple, but it feels brand new
Like sitting in the sun with you
Every time you smile my heart shakes
You know what you do

[Chorus]
Blue eyed girl, spinning my world
Turn around, turn around, let me see
Blue eyed girl, bright as the swirl
Turn around, turn around, stay with me

[Bridge]
Snap your fingers, time runs slow
All of my thoughts, you already know
You turn, you turn, and I'm gone

[Chorus]
Blue eyed girl, spinning my world
Turn around, turn around, let me see
Blue eyed girl, bright as the swirl
Turn around, turn around, stay with me

[Outro]
Stay with me, blue eyes, stay with me

Blue Eyed Girl

Sun On My Shoulders

The Bay

Georgia

[Verse 1]
Morning rolls through painted windows
Hills rising slow in a cross-town haze
Sidewalk hearts, in yesterday’s sundown
Same corner stores, different name these days
Packing boxes and second-hand shirts
Got a pocket full of last words left behind—

[Pre-chorus]
Notes gather up in the wire overhead
My shoes remember the slope of these streets

[Chorus]
Leaving San Francisco —
Carried by the bay wind home

[Verse 2]
Cable car sigh, another distant anthem
Mural faces, old laughter, faded bold
Tangled hair in the cool salt morning
Still it feels too early to let go
Sun shakes hands with the ocean’s promise
Still I walk away with my back to the cold—

[Pre-chorus]
Clouds moving west on Market again
There’s a goodbye hidden in my voice

[Chorus]
Leaving San Francisco —
Carried by the bay wind home

[Solo] [psychedelic guitar]

[Bridge]
Tell myself I’ll be back before autumn finds me
Map folded, head spinning on where I belong
There’s a sound in the fog, a tug from behind me
But the city lets go each time I move on

[Chorus]
Leaving San Francisco —
Carried by the bay wind home

[Outro]
Carried…
Carried by the bay wind home

Leaving San Francisco

Down By The Bayou

[Verse 1]
You said the morning hits like spotlights, drifting by your window
A thousand tiny things we never said
Talking nonsense, bitter words, fingers tapping table wood
Wisdom tied itself around our heads

[Pre-chorus]
In your laughter I hear a stumble, soft and sudden, hard to miss
We measure time with careless things, and secrets left untold

[Chorus]
Tell me if the sky is bluer from your side
Say the sun is just a friend that never needs to hide
Every morning’s just another chance to try
On this loop around the wire

[Verse 2]
I watch your smile getting brighter and brighter each day
Trading daylight for a question and a sigh
Our hearts are halves of halos over each other's minds
Learning how to listen, never asking why

[Pre-chorus]
We stare at clouds that pass by, and leave before we blink
You lean across me, you catch my words: “we may be more than what we think”

[Chorus]
Tell me if the sky is bluer from your side
Say the sun is just a friend that never needs to hide
Every morning’s just another chance to try
On this loop around the wire

[Solo]
[jangly guitar, baroque keyboard]

[Bridge]
Funny, all the things we’re missing living in the in-between
Balancing on silver threads, somewhere soft, somewhere unseen

[Chorus]
Tell me if the sky is bluer from your side
Say the sun is just a friend that never needs to hide
Every morning’s just another chance to try
On this loop around the wire (on a wire)
On this loop around the wire

Loop Around The Wire
