So Far Away (2021 Songs)

Seven Stories (Remixed)

Sounds by Zac, Dave, and Kate

I have lost count of the days
Adrift, amongst the waves
Not knowing where the sea does end
And where the sky begins
And the end is so far away
The end is so far away
The end is so far away from me
Everyday is all the same
The night slowly fades to day
It's like it's stuck on repeat
It's like it's stuck on repeat
And the end is so far away
The end is so far away
The end is so far away from me
One day this all will end
I'll see your smiling face again
One day we'll reach the shore
You won't be 'fraid no more
But the end is so far away
The end is so far away
The end is so far away
We'll get there some day

So Far Away

How the stars did shoot the sky

Like Jules and Romeo
I have known such sweet sorrow

When Gus first met June it was under the moon
It was the warmest of nights, he'd never seen such a sight
On a night full of lights, it was Junie's green eyes
They made the grand finale seem like fireflies 
The bolt, it had struck, you could see it for miles
When Gus told sweet June that he liked her smile
And soon those two kids were attached at the hand
And he thought to himself, my god, this is grand
You see, life is a dream for the luckiest few
So if you count yourself blessed here's what you should do
Just drink it in
Do it again
Savor the taste
Before it's too late
And so, Gus and June, if their love were a cup
Well, it did overflow, yeah, two ain't enough
So two became three, a new branch on the tree
A lovely newborn, her name was Simone 
And their little crew, so full of mirth 
Did bask in the glow of summertime's warmth
And so, Gus and June, they got to that part
Where their days spent together outnumbered apart
You see, life is a dream for the luckiest few
So if you count yourself blessed here's what you should do
Just drink it in
Do it again
Savor the taste
Before it's too late
But everything ends, the longest of tomes
Mountains and kings, the brightest of suns
The wonders of worlds do one day dissolve
Like canyon echoes, like the greatest of loves
Gus did miss June, she left him too soon
Her death put a scar on the face of his heart
It was the sheerest of grief, a hillside too steep
He knew in his heart he wasn't long for the Earth
So Gus did look up, he said, Junie, wait up
I'll be there real soon but I got one thing to do
He went to the home of their daughter, Simone
And he told her something that he learned long ago
He said, life is a dream for the luckiest few
So if you count yourself blessed here's what you should do
Just drink it in
Do it again
Savor the taste
Before it's too late
When Gus next saw June it was under the moon
It was the warmest of nights, he'd never seen such a sight

The Ballad of August and June

Where did you go?
After the rapture I was left with a ghost
A tepid reminder
Of what once was fire is just an ember
Where'd it turn?
The line blurs, the truth ends, and the lie, it begins
It's like you've fallen
It's like you've fallen off the edge of the Earth
Maybe one day the darkness will pass
One day the dawn, it will rise 
And the curse, it will lift like clouds that run from the Sun's blinding light
You can stay in the grey
Just know nothing grows where the light, it don't show
It's yours to choose
Just know down this road you're gonna go it alone
I just want you to know that I miss you
And I yearn for the time long before
Before the rabbit hole
Before you fell off the edge of the Earth
It's like you've fallen off the edge of the Earth
Maybe one day the darkness will pass
One day the dawn, it will rise 
And the curse, it will lift like clouds that run from the Sun's blinding light
It's like you've fallen off the edge of the Earth

Flat Earth

I've been blessed since the day you crossed my path
And I know that you've always got my back
There's no job too big, too tall of task
You just have to ask
You just have to
You just have to
You just have to ask
I'll stay with you while the spring storms pass
I'll share with you summer's sunlight bath
No autumn leaf cascades alone
No winter chill on my lonely bones
No, that time has passed
You just have to
You just have to
You just have to ask

You Just Have To Ask

In the square of an old French town there was a wishing well
And the lovers and the lepers were drawn to its magic tale
They cast their fortunes and they blindly hoped away
And their lives were changed by some loving hand of fate
Oh, and the sick were cured on sight
And the estranged, they reunite
And the barren vine, they all grew ripe
And everything was alright
Everything was alright
Everything in this great, big world, it was alright
It was all, It was all, it was all, it was alright
Everything in the world, it was alright
Enter Nathaniel, who was more monster than boy
And he eyed the fountain's treasures like the toddler eyes the toy
He reached his hand into the blue and he filled his pockets full of gold
Oh, and what happens next could have never been foretold
Oh, the remission, well, it subsides
And the lovers, they all divide
And the fruit died on the vine
And everything was not alright
Everything in the world was not alright
We were far, we were far, we were far away from alright
Everything in the world was not alright
Oh, Nathan, what did you do?
How could someone so young be so cruel?
How do we fix this, what do we do?
Can we wish it away and make it all new?
That's it, that's just what we'll do
I've got a coin and I'll give to you
You could make everything alright
With just one wish you could make everything alright
Throw the coin in the fountain and make everything alright
You could make it alright

Back and to the Left

I lost my true north
Can't find my way home
I feel no kinship
To the land where I was born
But I never felt alone
Since the day I found you
Never once since I was born
Since the day I found you
But that's not the day of my birth
It's when I first kissed you on my father's front porch
I was born in the wrong place
I was born at the wrong time
My old soul felt the weight
Before my face had a line
But I never felt alone
Since the day I found you
Never once since I was born
Since the day I found you
But that's not the day of my birth
It's when I first kissed you on my father's front porch
Since the day I found you
I found my true north
I found my way home

When the Russians began to invade
They were met by the mothers of Ukraine
Bearing a gift and singing a song
Bearing seeds and singing along
The mothers sang please
Please take these seeds
Keep them close to your heart
And when you die the sunflowers will grow
When you die the sunflowers grow
When you die the sunflowers grow 
When you die the sunflowers grow
One day the tyrants will fall
Such is the way of tyrants, one and all
One day the doves, they will fly
Over the flag of the gold and the sky
The mothers sang please
Please take these seeds
Keep them close to your heart
And when you die the sunflowers will grow
When you die the sunflowers grow
When you die the sunflowers grow 
When you die the sunflowers grow
One day the red army will die
Under the flag of the gold and the sky
One day the red army will die
Under the flag of the gold and the sky

When You Die The Sunflowers Will Grow (Song For Ukraine)

Sounds by Zac, Dave, Kate, and Olive

When I wake up in the morning, love
First thing I say is "I love You"
Let me get you a cup of coffee, love
A little cream, a little sugar too
Won't you tell me about your day, dear?
All those tough things you gotta do
Did I tell you you look lovely, dear?
Those jeans sure look good on you
All day long
Let me take you out to dinner, love
I was thinking French, how about you?
Go to our favorite place, dear
Get a cozy little table just for two
Let's get a bottle of Rose, dear
Raise a glass to me and you
Last thing I say before bed, dear
Oh girl, you know it, "I love you"
All night long

You are never alone
Oh, you'll never be lonely again
From the fiery bloom of new love
Till the embers are all that remain
Ours was a light that put the sun to shame
Mine is the Moon to your Earth
And we belong together, we two
And if for some reason I should go first
Just look up and I'll be watching over you
I'll be smiling down on you
You are never alone
Oh, you'll never be lonely again
And if you should ever find yourself lost
Just reach out and I will take your hand
And you will find that you're right where you belong
Oh my darling, will you share one last dance with me

You Are Never Alone

The first song I ever wrote on a keyboard.

All my scars and my mistakes, they haunt me
But now these concrete boots,
They're feeling feather weight
It's like I just had my mind erased
I feel like the parched,
When they kiss the water's taste
Last night I drew a bath
With the water around me,
Like a chalk outline
Then I was cleansed of regret
I was baptised,
In a brilliant, bathing lie
And with that, the weight got light
My shoulders eased
And my feet began to rise
And then I drift away
No longer tethered to the ghosts,
The Earth, or yesterday  
But It's not too late
You could fall in love
It's right outside your door
Just open it, to see the streetlight shining brightly now

Skip to the back of the book, let's see how this story does end
With Janie Sue and her boy too and oh, they're just ever-aftering
Have you ever seen anything as mighty as the oak tree?
Well, that twig did snap when he saw the love that they had
And it's true, true blue
There was Janie Sue and Johnny Blue and this here's the ballad of them two
And when the poets saw them they all just burst out singing
La La La Love You
Johnny say, pretty baby, did you see that falling tree?
Darling, that timber, oh, it fell for you and me
And then Johnny pulled out a pocket knife and he started carving on the bark
"J S + J B" inside of a heart
And it's true, true blue
There was Janie Sue and Johnny Blue and this here's the ballad of them two
And when the poets saw them they all just burst out singing
La La La Love You

I was born a boy without a voice
I was invisible, I was anonymous
I was a blade of grass on the floor of the forest
But it's at night when I come alive
When I close my eyes as the moon does rise
For in my dreams I'm towering
For in the land of Z
I am a king
I protect the meek, I shepherd the sheep
The Monster, he's no match for me
And my weapon of choice, it is my voice
My trills are the sword of some melodic horde
And my song, an atom bomb
I sing to kill the Monster
I sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For in my dreams I'm towering
And I rue the day, when I awake
The people of Z
They live in a pall
That the scantest sound could spark a holocaust
That the smallest speak could wake the beast
But I, I am not afraid
I sing the Monster's name
I sing it out loud like a church bell on a Sunday
Come get a piece, a piece of me
So, the Monster he does rise
He rises for the clash
And he's met with a wall, an avalanche of sharps and flats
It brings the fiend to his knees
And for an encore, I'll unleash such a note
It will free the Z of his scourge for once and all
It's such a scream that it cracks the dream
I sing to kill the Monster
I sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For in my dreams I'm towering
And I rue the day, when I awake
But I, I grow so tired of this silent life
With every little feeling, some secret trapped inside
I want to sing out loud till the mountains fall down
And so, I live for the night
It's my time
Lord, all I want is to forever close my eyes
I want lucidity infinity
I wish the night song
It would last so long

I'll mourn the death of us
I'll sing the dirge of our lost love
I'll bury our bones in dirt
And place bouquets at every dusk
And grey the grass does grow
After a time of many months
Our bones, some sickly seed
Our love, a patch of poison earth
 
I never want to see you again
No fake smiles and no need to pretend
Like this all came to some amicable end
I never want to see you again

In time the wound will scar
The blood will dry upon my heart
But now I cauterize 
With some strange girl I met last night
And drink to fall asleep
I hope I've had too much to dream
Just the thought brings aftershocks
Our love, the quake that broke my heart

I never want to see you again
No fake smiles and no need to pretend
Like this all came to some amicable end
I never want to see you again

I Never Want To See You Again (Naked House)

Darling, I miss you right now dear
Darling, I miss you so badly
Oh how the birds go green, with every note you sing
A tune they could only dream
Oh how they wished they were you
Darling, I miss you right now dear
Darling, I miss you so badly
Even the narcissist, well he looked up a bit
It was a little tectonic shift
When the water cast a glimmer of you
Darling, I miss you right now dear
Darling, I miss you so badly
There's no substitute, or spanish leather boots
None of these things will do
All that I want is you
Darling, I miss you right now dear
Darling, I miss you so badly
Darling, I miss you

darling, I miss you

Sometimes I just can't believe my own eyes
Who's the man in the mirror in disguise
I know it can't be me
How'd I get so lucky
Maybe it's just a fountain full of pennies
Or maybe it's the stars when they're shooting
Or maybe it's cause I spend my time
Just blowing dandelions
Never before have I known this more than now
That home is not a place
It's wherever I'm with you
Should I count my blessings, the number is too high
You would have to be an Einstein
To solve this mystery
You'll need a smarter man than me
How'd I end up with her, she's so fine
She's sweeter than the whites from the river Rhine
I feel as if it's Christmas eve
And I just won the lottery
Never before have I known this more than now
That home is not a place
It's wherever I'm with you
Sometimes I just can't believe my own eyes
Who's the man in the mirror in disguise
I know it can't be me
How'd I get so lucky
Maybe it's just a fountain full of pennies
Or maybe it's the stars when they're shooting

Danny was a soldier 
He fought in one of those "Great Wars" and he always found that such a strange choice of words
Completely absurd
But Danny, he was lucky
He made in back to Marin county 
To the land where the sun kissed the grape like the lover does the nape
Now, Danny and his best friends
They fancied themselves noble men, like some knights of a round table of yore
And they killed time trading stories of the war
Well, Danny and his tapestry
He could weave them like nobody and he'd always leave you begging for more
Even though you've probably heard it before
There's not a finer man you will ever meet
His heart was a golden as the girls on the beach
So they lionize
They pass the wine
They kill the time
They lead that glorious life of the noblest knights
Now, a knight craves adventure
Some search for some great treasure and everyday was a quest just to find
A gallon of wine
And these men, they were moral
They were true blue as the pillar and they lived by the strictest of codes
To never drink alone
Those wars, you know that they leave
Those wounds that you just don't see
So they cauterize
They kill the wine
They pass the time
They do what they gotta do to get through the night
California, I lie in your wake
And I bathe in the blood of the grape

Just a little note in your tote saying, "you're the one."
Just a little bit to get you lit and oh, how you glow
Oh, how you glow
How the moon loves to croon a soft and sweet refrain
Overheard, the only word of the song, it was your name
How the sun, well, he calls it quits when he sees a brighter light
Well, he just bids goodnight and this is his reply
Oh, how you glow

Oh How You Glow

Have you heard the little story about the fire and the flood?
We'll skip the exposition, let's get on down to the calm
Down came the rain and up came the flood, and we all float on
Yeah we flipped our umbrellas, we turned them downside up, like lilies on the pond
Up from the sky it looked like pepper on the broth, what a lovely lunch
And like the Jonah whale he just swallowed all of them up, without even a cough
You should have seen it all from above, an ant farm disturbed by a tot
Last year we prayed for rain, and all we got was a drought
It's like a joke being played by the gods, but to laugh well how I forgot
Ain't nobody pleased but the fish, so be careful for what you wish
Well the parson came around and asked us if we were looking for work
So we all headed north
To build quarter sized castles at the fair of the world, and at night we slept in the park
Yeah we were sans roof but we didn't give it a thought, and we stayed dry as a spark
And that was all it took for the whole town to go up, just like a tinder box
You should have heard the sound of alarms, as the ash just dance to the song
With the hoses like octopus arms, and the lake on the eve of a ghost
Again we prayed for the rain, nothing but tears from the windows above
Let's hope that it's sad enough, well it's just not sad enough
And we all died alone, yeah we all die alone

I was born
One half of a winged pair, too heavy is the weight we bear
My dearest blood
One has to sacrifice so the other may rise
So we divide
Soon we'll split the sky in two, I'm the black and you're the blue
I've never been so far from you
I'll never be closer to you
Closer to you than now
My dearest boy
Oh, how hard it must be to grow up in the shade of my tree
So you go low
If I am the one to soar, you will walk on the ocean floor
Quite the mirror, you and I
I am the highest flight and you, the deepest dive
I've never been so far from you
I'll never be closer to you
Closer to you than now

I've waited all year just to go for a drive
To see all those lights reflect in your eyes
Old Candy Cane Lane has never looked quite so bright
What a sight to behold on this Christmas night
On Christmas night
I've waited all year to hear those old songs
To hear Nat King Cole sing "O Tannenbaum"
But the prettiest sound that I've heard all night
Is when you harmonize to "O Holy Night"
On Christmas night
So after the little ones have had their bedtime
You and I will share a toast over a cup of mulled wine
To another year together, with your hand in mine
There's no place I'd rather be on this Christmas night
On Christmas night
But this time of year, it goes by so quick
So let's you and I dash, let's lickety-split
Before it's too late darling, grant me one last wish
You and I together sharing a mistletoe kiss
On Christmas night

Johnny T fought fires on the western side of Chicago
He was burned in a fire at the corner of Lake and Cicero
On a day that would leave a mark
The floor collapsed and it all went dark
But here comes the part with the angel voices so y'all best just hark
Johnny woke to a sound that was prettier than Judy Garland singing
It was an angel asking our hero how he was feeling
He said, "I guess I've died and gone to heaven"
She said, "I bet you say that to all the women"
And as the fog cleared Johnny found himself in a hospital bed but he was still breathing
Our angel introduced herself as nurse Betsy
She was gonna help our hero get back to the line of duty
Johnny said, "That sounds fine to me"
Then he found himself a victim of irony
A life spent fighting fires and here he was just trying to light a spark
And so began the world's slowest recovery
Anything Johnny could do to spend a little more time with Betsy
And she nursed him back to health
And for the second time he fell
But this time he wasn't alone, he fell for the lovely Betsy Bell
Those two kids ended up getting married and having a family
And Johnny became the first Italian battalion chief
Yeah, life, it was pretty sweet
And if you ask old Johnny what he think
He'd say getting burned up in that fire was the best thing that ever happened to me
So if there's a moral to our little story
Some life lesson to be learned from Johnny's journey
It's that sometimes life leaves a scar
A little reminder of how you got to where you are
Yeah, sometimes you gotta get a little bit hurt if you wanna get to perfect

Whatever you fancy, it's alright with me

I could tell you that I love you in a poem or a sonnet
I could write it with a feather or engrave it on a locket
I could get it tattooed on my arm but neither of us want that
All these silly gestures, you know they're not important
Because I know you know
I could write it in the sand, but the sea, it would swallow it
I could carve it on a tree but a lumberjack would chop it
I could sing it just like Elvis but you'd tell me to stop it
All these silly gestures, they're really all for nothing
Because I know you know
I love you so
I know you know
You know you know you know
All these little things
I do them just to ring your bell, my dear
There's no need to reply, girl
You do that every time
Every time that we kiss goodnight
I could tell you that I love you, I could write a song about it
I could cook a hook so catchy I defy you not to hum it
I could sing it from the mountaintop till an avalanche devours it
All these silly gestures, they're really not important
Because I know you know
I love you so
I know you know
You know you know you know
All these little things
I do them just to ring your bell, my dear
There's no need to reply, girl
You do that every time
Every time that we kiss goodnight
Because I know you know
I love you so
I know you know
You know you know you know

I finally found you
I'd been searching for so long
I was about to give up hope
That you would come along
I was lonely, I was afraid
No one could love a wretch like me
Now I find myself saved
Oh, but by the grace of thee
And now I'm singing to myself
"How sweet the sound"
I finally found you
I will never be the same
I missed you long before
Long before I knew your name
I was broken in pieces
Some frail, damaged antique
Just some thriftstore find, love
But you took a chance on me
Now I'm singing right along
"How sweet the sound"
I finally found you
I will never let you go
I can't wait for tomorrow
Oh, let's get on with the show
We can grow old together
I'll take care of you, you take care of me
Some fantastic forever
Yeah, that sounds pretty good to me
Now we'll sing in harmony
"How sweet the sound"

I never said goodbye
I never got to see you
Just an omitted line in your obituary
So I won't scan for cars or look through parking lots
I'll never have to see your face in a sour meeting
But she don't, but she don't, but she don't care
So you hide, away from, what makes you scared
I'm sorry that you hurt
And if I made it worse
I'm sorry that I was absent for the great travail
I hope it's better now and that you believe
That maybe someday you'll be reunited with your mother
But she don't, but she don't, but she don't care
So you should, say sorry, while they're still there
Because if you don't
If you don't you'll never know

I picture you and I picture me in a picture of our twenties
In love
I couldn't keep my eyes off you, you couldn't keep your hands off me
In love
We were young and we were fiery, a little mad, a little crazy 
In love
Oh darling, weren't we lucky
I picture you and I picture me in a picture of our thirties
In love
There may be some miles on me but you've never looked so good to me
In love
You don't need a math degree to know that love + 1 + 1 is 3
In love
Look at our little darling, aren't we lucky
I picture you and I picture me on our fortieth anniversary
In love
My, those years went by easy so why don't you and I go for fifty
In love 
See, there's a word for folks like you and there's a word for folks like me
In love
That word is lucky
Oh darling, aren't we lucky

Lucky

Sounds by Zac, Dave, and Kate

I've been thinking of days gone by
Tipsy afternoons in the summertime
You and me making love
In the summertime
Your body next to mine
In the sunshine
I've been dreaming of nights gone by
Warm and hazy and sleepy eyed
You and me making love
In the summertime
Your body next to mine 
In the moonlight
In the summertime
I was thinking of your chocolate eyes
Looking into my blues in the summertime
You and me making love
In the summertime
Your body next to mine
In the summertime
In the summertime

In The Summertime

Ruby Rose

Elsa Rae had a great sadness 
She set a world record, Guinness 
For the most tears one may cry 
She held her head over 
The well, till it ranneth over 
The rivers crest and the sea levels rise 
And the loss of some tiny islands made her cry even more 
The cause of her melancholy 
Was the man who long ago she married 
He seldom spoke a loving word 
He worked as a vegetable pickler 
And as a distiller of vinegar 
He was a master of all things bottled up 
And in his spare time he built tiny ships that never sailed the seas 
Her sadness came to an impasse 
She decided to take actions drastic 
She hatched a plan to change her lot 
She went to the local glassblower 
And commissioned the largest of holders 
A gift so grand to crack his cocoon 
But I've come to find that sometimes some folks just favor the caterpillar 
She presented it to him on a Sunday 
The same day that was his birthday 
At first glance his soul welled with awe 
As his glacier heart stood dripping 
A "thank you" passed his lips a leaving 
He grasped her hand and he squeezed it tight 
He then went to work shipbuilding 
And soon, the two, they set off sailing 
Inside of glass, sealed so tight 
And Elsa, she kept on crying 
And the water, well it kept on rising 
But alas, now the tears were of joy 
And Elsa cried and cried and cried till she never cried anymore 
Don't you cry for Elsa Rae 
Please don't cry for Elsa Rae

Elsa Rae and the Great Sadness

Sounds by Shae, Kate, and Zac

I know this girl, she ain't got the time
All those fellas ask about her, she don't pay no mind
They say, hey girl, how you doing, what's your name?
Oh, she turn her head, she walk away, here's what she say
She say Loddy, Loddy Da
I know this girl, she's too cool for you know what
All those boys want to sit next to her on the bus
They say, hey girl, this seat taken, what's your name?
She turn her head, look out the window, it goes the same
She say Loddy, Loddy Da
Will she find love?
I don't know, but I wish her luck
If she finds love she'll know it
Cause love, love it is a Mack truck

Smallpox Blankets

Sounds by Zac, Dave, and Kate

I don't want to wait, no not a minute more
This fever, it's not getting colder
With a big, big love, it's only getting stronger 
You know it's moving mountains like a weight of paper 
Like a weight of paper 
I don't want to wait, no not a minute more 
You know I'm not getting any younger 
With bated breath, until your face turns blue 
This anticipation, it's only growing larger 
It's only growing larger 
I don't want to wait, no not a minute more 
You know that later's never better 
You know it's coming soon and like an avalanche it falls 
And pretty soon you'll be buried under 
You'll get buried under 
Did you feel it now, like a thunderbolt it hits 
You know I think the world was just spinning a little faster
