Hatcher Pass

VERSE 1
Tripped over myself
Fell headlong to the earth
Kissed the roots of our sentry
And my mouth tastes of dirt
Take me to the river
For I can hardly see
I heard the truth upon the wind
Wrapped up in mystery
CHORUS
Take me back
On up Hatcher Pass
To that kingdom in the clouds
Where the ground is falling fast
Take me back
On up Hatcher Pass
To that lake in the sky
Heavenly looking glass
Take me back….
VERSE 2
I smelled the sun
I could hardly breathe
The smoke from our fire
Is just fuel for the trees
My cheeks are aching
Got crows feet for grins
Stand in the holy silence
And it wells up again
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I swear you’ll be my
Desert solitaire
I swear I ain’t
Going anywhere
I swear you’ll be my
Desert solitaire
I swear I ain’t
Going anywhere
VERSE 3
I woke up
I had been reborn
Couldn’t find my shoes
But my socks were barely worn
Camp don’t pack itself
We rambled on our way
But I swear to God
I’ll be back one day!
CHORUS

VERSE 1
I’m watching the ripples
They’re guiding me home
The color of the water
Reminds me of a poem
Paddles cut
Through the sun like a knife
Marshall keeps saying
These are the days of your life
VERSE 2
Camps set up
It’s time for a swim
The closer to nature
The further from sin
But I can’t stop watching
The water on her skin
The closer to nature
The closer to sin
CHORUS
Fuzzy navels on the side of the shore
And the kids are screaming out for one more
Float before the sun goes down
And love is all around
Your love is all around
VERSE 3
The fire’s casting shadows
Yeah, it’s making amber pools
Sticky little mosquito
Always acting a fool
The wind’s whispering
It says there’s ghosts in the woods
Scared shitless, but together
Fear never felt this good
CHORUS

Kind Heart
04:12

VERSE 1
I’m picking up feathers
To learn the weight of my heart
They started coal black
When I was born in the dark
VERSE 2
I’m following feathers
To guide my way
They’re coming up white
In the bright of the day
CHORUS
May I be light as a feather
Come my final days
Sure, I’ve toed a fine line
But I’ve got a kind heart all the same
I’ve got a kind heart all the same
VERSE 3
I’m collecting feathers
To mark the insights I’ve gained
They’re red as the blood
At the end of the day
CHORUS

Anchorage
03:24

|
VERSE 1
Been staying out late
Pockets full of gold
And the sun don’t
Set around here this
Time of year
In Anchorage
VERSE 2
Been sleeping in
Blood full of oil, and the buzz is
Fading fast
These mornings never last
In Anchorage
CHORUS
I ain’t told you I love you in six long months
The way you’re ducking my gaze says it’s not long enough
Well I’ll just keep biting my tongue
If these nights don’t kill me, might be done in by love
VERSE 3
Been wearing thin
Throat full of dust
9 am finds you in my bed
Golden hair and
Restful breath
In Anchorage
CHORUS
VERSE 4
Been fading out
Heart full of rest
By midday, you’re gone
Radio playing
Empty songs
In Anchorage
CHORUS

This Summer
03:04
|

|
VERSE 1
I’ve been working
on getting stronger
Getting out
what I been keeping in
Trying to focus
on visions of tomorrow
But I don’t know
where to begin
VERSE 2
I’ve been working
on getting louder
Speaking out
what I’ve been thinkin’
Painting my dreams
In technicolor
But still don’t know
where they end
CHORUS 1
Come this summer
I’m leaving
But I know one thing is true
Don’t want to be leaving
If I’m leaving
Without you
Don’t want to be leaving
If I’m leaving
Without you
VERSE 3
I’ve been pinching
Myself on the daily
Asking if
This could be real
I’ve been reading those notes
that you been leaving
Trying to forge
some nerves of steel
VERSE 4
And I been thinking
About what you said
When I asked you
To come with me
You said Darlin
Don’t be foolish
There’s no place I’d
Rather be
CHORUS 2
Come this summer
I’m leaving
But I got nothing to lose
Cause I’m leaving
But I’m leaving
With you
I’m leavings
But I’m leaving
With you
CHORUS 3
