Wildfire

VERSE 1
Ivy climbs the walls and nestles in the brick Sparrow builds a nest above the front door The newest heartache’s on the radio again No one’s listening anymore
VERSE 2
On Independence Day, driving through the hills We were on our way to Bozeman
The reds and blues of fireworks in backyards lit the sky We were so much greener then
Who knew we were drunk on borrowed time?
CHORUS
Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
Waiting on a wildfire?
VERSE 3
In late September, we’d just moved into town We were on a mission lost and broke
Just as all the pieces started falling into place All our plans went up in smoke
Who knew we were drunk on borrowed time?
CHORUS
Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
Waiting on a wildfire?
VERSE 4
Ivy climbs the walls and nestles in the brick Sparrow builds a nest above the front door Over time the wildflowers find a way to bloom Where only ashes were before
Who knew we were drunk on borrowed time?
CHORUS
Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were

VERSE 1
Spread the news, breathe it in
We’re at a point we’ve never been
I can’t say we’ll be okay
We’ll just have to take it day by day
CHORUS
I’m afraid of what we’ve made
It’s a consequence of silence, there’s no beauty in the violence
Daybreak, I lie awake
It’s just another sunrise, it’s just another sunrise anyway
VERSE 2
Open blinds, shuttered minds
We’re living in the strangest times
I won’t lie, I’m terrified
We look across a great divide
CHORUS
I’m afraid of what we’ve made
It’s a consequence of silence, there’s no beauty in the violence
Daybreak, I lie awake
It’s just another sunrise, it’s just another sunrise anyway
BRIDGE
If I knew the words to say,
If I had just one more day,
I would do anything to change
CHORUS
I’m afraid of what we’ve made
It’s a consequence of silence, there’s no beauty in the violence
Daybreak, I lie awake
It’s just another sunrise, it’s just another sunrise anyway

Might As Well Be Gold

VERSE 1
No, we don’t have a big place,
We’re living in a suitcase, we’re waiting out the storm
Yeah, the pipes are freezing over,
It’s only getting colder, but we’ve been keeping warm
CHORUS
Look at what we have, we get diamonds
Out of broken glass, it’s just like us
All that we can hold are bits and pieces,
Might as well be gold shining in the dust
VERSE 2
Yeah, the house is full of memories
All the anniversaries of people come and gone
No, we don’t have to hide them
We learn to live beside them, we learn to carry on
CHORUS
Look at what we have, we get diamonds
Out of broken glass, it’s just like us
All that we can hold are bits and pieces,
Might as well be gold shining in the dust
BRIDGE
Your sister’s on the phone,
And I know how the conversation goes
I see it in your eyes
She could find a thorn in any rose
VERSE 3
No, it’s not up to her to measure
If it’s trash or if it’s treasure, if it’s real or just a dream
CHORUS
Look at what we have, we get diamonds
Out of broken glass, it’s just like us
All that we can hold are bits and pieces,
Might as well be gold shining in the dust
Might as well be gold shining in the dust
Might as well be gold

Night Train
04:47
|

|
VERSE 1
The sun was a half dollar coin in the November sky
The porter, he helped me to drag my old suitcase inside
My friends shook their heads and said it was faster to fly
But every compatriot climbing on after had all made the same choice as mine
CHORUS
I’m on the night train, see this land for a change
Gardens in the backyards, a far mountain range
I’m taking my time, I’ll stay on this line to the end of the track
and watch the sun rise, maybe two or three times before I come back
VERSE 2
From breadlines to cafes, the buildings have worn over time
For every American dreamer, a mountain to climb
Orchards and fields and the harvest from April to frost
Men forging steel into bridges their children would cross
VERSE 3
The rusty old combines and factories rose from the past
And history fell in the shadows that each of them cast
From Memphis to Denver I thought of my grandmother’s hands
Pressing that fifty-cent piece in my palm saying “Take this as far as you can”
CHORUS
I’m on the night train, see this land for a change
Gardens in the backyards, a far mountain range
I’m taking my time, I’ll stay on this line to the end of the track
And watch the sun rise, maybe two or three times before I come back
BRIDGE
My helpless uncertainty, let it slide off of me
Hope in the city streets shiny and hungry
One with each other, the daughters the mothers
The good and the evil are just regular people
Deep down I know I’m still fanning the flames just by
Trying to find the right person to blame
Cause it’s easier putting a face to your fear than a name
VERSE 4
The half dollar coin in the sky shines with Kennedy’s call
A cold war continues but now it’s inside of us all
Silence surrounds us, we’re waiting for morning to come
The train is still rolling, the bridge is still holding, and there is still work to be done
CHORUS
I’m on the night train, the skyline in sight
We’re passing the salvage yard, into the morning light
I’m taking my time, this country of mine, we’ll get it on track
We’ll watch the sun rise maybe two or three times as we come back
We’ll watch the sun rise maybe two or three times as we come back

All Shall Be Well

All shall be well, all shall be well
In the end, all shall be well
VERSE 1
Walls will be built, walls will be torn down
Hope will be lost, faith will be found
CHORUS
All shall be well, all shall be well
In the end, all shall be well
VERSE 2
Wars will begin, wars will end
Hearts will break, hearts will mend
CHORUS
All shall be well, all shall be well
In the end, all shall be well
VERSE 3
Sunset at dusk, sunrise at dawn
Change always comes, the world spins on
CHORUS
All shall be well, all shall be well
In the end, all shall be well
All shall be well, all shall be well
In the end, all shall be well
In the end, all shall be well
