Oh Bartender

I've been walkin' around this dark town
I need something to knock my knees to the ground
'Cause my heart is feelin' mighty cold
I feel like they're huntin' for my soul
Well they've taken our seeds and given us their greed
It doesn't matter how much we plead
Doesn't matter if our children we can not feed
We should just praise them for their good deeds
But don't worry said the smiley face
The decisions we make we make in good grace
Don't you be so sad ya lost the race
Just disappear without a trace
I just can't go back out there
I whispered to the bartender in despair
Don't you worry son he said the fight it ain't rare
It's been goin' on through time everywhere
Oh bartender Oh bartender Oh bartender
Give me a shot of that good, good stuff

The Hanging Tree

I met you at the hanging tree
Oh lord help me
And the wind does blow as cold as can be
At the hanging tree
The branches sway have we lost our way
It doesn't feel the same
To bring us here at the dawn of days
To the hanging tree
You called me there that night
To keep me safe and warm
but in the end the hanging tree
is where our love was born
I held you at the hanging tree
Oh lord help me
With our arms so tight and our hearts so free
At the hanging tree
But as time stretched on and we sang our song
It will never sound the same
Once our love was strong but we can't carry on
Meeting at the hanging tree
You left me there that night
When life got in the way
But in the end the hanging tree
is where our love does stay
I left you at the hanging tree
Oh lord help me
And the souls still rest as still as can be
At the hanging tree
And the stars don't shine
And you'll never be mine
It'll never be the same
So I still my heart
As we both do part
At the hanging
Come meet me at the hanging
Forever in the hanging tree
Ohooo…hanging tree

My Stone

Time keeps marchin' on, while I'm standin' still
My life keeps rollin' on, with the Great Spirit’s will
Will I get to see oh, the dawn of a new day
Or in the moonlight night, can I laugh and play
The full moon will rise again oh in the night sky
Let's stand in the sacred circle and all get high
Oh come on in the Shack and lets make it rumble and shake
To dreamin’, to singin’, to laughin’, to lovin' let our hearts take
Once again will we'll be sailin' the dark green seas
Once again we'll be young and proud, screamin' our beliefs
We'll be runnin' like wolves through the tall trees
Will you still outstretch your hand, when I falter to my knees
Will I see you standin’, while I'm layin there
Take a pull my brother, oh and then give me my share
Won't you light a fire, oh and warm up my bones
Sing to the moon, dance to the drum, by my stone

Three Trees

I will see you
Starin' right through
Me into you
I will be set free
Stars they are swirlin'
Through the night sky
They will lift us
Oh ever so high
Flyin' through the heavens
My eyes never gettin'
Painted thoughts on the wall
The fevered songs will rise and fall
Whispered lips on my neck
Wandering through our dreams
My fantasies you believe
Dancing around our three trees

Hey Ol' Man
05:35
|
|||
|
All my life they been tryin' to stuff me in a box
For which I just can't seem to find that lock
Always tellin' me what I need
Tightenin' their collar around my neck until I just can't breathe
Those streets are lookin' dirty and mighty mean
Of anger and hatred why can't we be wiped clean
Brother against brother, Woman against Man
Teacher against dreamer, President against the righteous stand
Do you dare to follow your dreams
Or in your heart and mind, do you wipe them clean?
Do you buy in or face the black wind with a grin?
Do you cut off your tie and out with your heart of tin?
Hey Ol' man thanks for this and thanks for that
I wish this world wasn't such a vicious brat
Wish I was dreamin', in a sunbeam like a curled up cat
Hey ol' man, thank God you didn't fall prey to their trap

Rain N' Grey

Will I see you walkin'
through that black door
Will I see you talkin'
with your ear to the floor
la da da dat dow la da da dee
Are your bloody knees crawlin' through
the dark of the day
Oh that mighty dollar
will make your broke soul pay
Keep on trudgin' through ah the rain and the grey
Where will my old broken body lay at the end of the day
Oh nine to five goes tick tock
Oh my weary spirit dies watchin' the clock
