Massachusetts raised us and we grew up right
In between the crashes of the high tide
It's only I don't know why I don't know you
I can't say why, I can't see you

This is not an apple or an angel town
Once you hit the big time you're west bound
It's only I don't know why I don't know you
I can't say why, I can't see you

On a broken sidewalk on the edge of town I
Will try to meet you, when the sun goes down
Sing a "hey la hey la" to the Holy Ghost
To the only constant on the radio

Out of reach from the cold and gray town
I turn the headlights and volume way down low.
So I can hear you on a constant radio

Give me daytime give me nighttime
Give me anger, you know I don't mind
Give me something to fill the time
If you give me your love then I give you mine

Give me your love, give me your love, give me…
Out of reach from the cold and gray town
I turn the headlights and volume way down low.
So I can hear you on a constant radio

Constant Radio

It rained down from the heavens
It blew up from below
We gathered in cathedrals by the water
Where the evil dare not go

Take us into the lost and found
Deliver us up to a higher ground
But it's a stacked hand we were dealt to lose 
Down in the delta

We don't need nobody
But we ain't gonna run-
ain't gonna hide
And rain comes down

Someone built a fire on the chapel
We gathered round the flame
Singing prayers to the father up in heaven
“Hallowed be thy name”

So take us into the lost and found
Deliver us up to a higher ground
It's a stacked hand we were dealt to lose down in the delta.

We don't need nobody
But we ain't gonna run
ain't gonna hide
And rain comes down on me
The rain comes down
The rain comes down


Delta Blues

Silent Love Songs

Summer sun strolling along my Cambridge-cobbled streets
I know your turns your stony stairs before your underneath my feet
A d rifting radio tells me it's 99 degrees
I saw a man praying in a parking lot
He got down on his knees
Saying good lord set me free

I don't know whether to turn this bad news up or down
To let it leak into my day or maybe just enjoy the sounds
Of quiet songs la la la everyone is beautiful tonight
Take a breath or two and ... Close my eyes and...  just take in the night

And there he is standing in the park like its 99 degrees
Catching every falling leaf
And whispering to each
See the good lord set you free
And the good lord set you free
And the good lord set you free...

Harvest moon leading me back to my Charles river room
I know there's something going down before I even hear the news
A blinking television says - that the police are on the scene
Someone's left us all behind... And the only thing to find
Was a cardboard sign...
good lord set me free


The News

Not exactly the life of the party
Please to meet you and so-and-so
Why should I come just to feel sort of dumb and unlucky?

And suddenly I found a four leaf clover
And fortune pulling me across the room
Stopped for a drink cause I overthink
somethings, sometimes.

5:30 on a Sunday morning
I hear the birds in the trees
Can't tell you when the party ended
But in between I fell in love with...

And if the morning reveals our fault lines
And I'm not funny in the light of day
I can pretend I was only a friend
Who got lucky, one time.

5:30 on a Sunday morning
I hear the birds in the trees
Can't tell you when the party ended but
In between I fell in love with you


Four Leaf Clover

Honey I got it, and I’m waitin here for you
Yours for the taking, but you haven’t got a clue
Honey I got it, and it’s all for you

Well, honey I got it come and fill your cup with wine
Ripe for the picking, I am fresh off the vine
Honey I got it, and it’s all for you

After I am gone you will be so sorry to see me
Making my own way without you near 
I won’t wanna hear how you are so sorry to see me go
Just because your you're alone

Well I’m achin’ your breakin’ my heart (no don’t you go)
I can’t take it you, tear me apart
There’s so much about me you don’t know
We could start with my name
Skip the how do you do
By the end of the day you will say
I’m the only one for you

After I am gone you will be so sorry to see me
Making my own way without you near 
I won't wanna hear how you are so sorry to see me go
Just because your you're alone

But, honey I got it
I’m the wish and you’re the star
Say the word baby and I’ll join you where you are
Honey I got it
And it’s all for you


Honey I Got It

A perfect song for a bright, sun-shiny day.
