Be Here Now
Sleet hanging on the hot tub, but the water’s warm
It’s the pleasure of your company in the raging storm
Can’t predict the weather, just can’t hold back time
Not concerned with either when you put your hand in mine
Ooooo You know I’m shy
Ooooo You know I’ll try
Alll I ever wanted was to be here now
Tonight is never ending, if I had my way
Remember the beginning and find a way to stay
What’s written on the overpass, what songs we try we sing
Only love and art are meant to last no matter what tomorrow brings
Ooooo You know I’m shy
Ooooo You know I’ll try
Alll I ever wanted was to be here now
Serenity stands by the side of the road
Smiles and steps into the freshly fallen snow
You took that path so you know
Best to be here, be here now
Wind is up, the power’s out, but the house is staying warm
It’s the pleasure of your company in the raging storm
Can’t predict the weather, what have we got to lose
As long as we’re together with the family we choose

Words Won’t Come
The landscape changed while I was away
Found it just re-arranged, nothing more to say
Barn in the trees, the water left it there
Things that it held- like other memories- scattered anywhere...
Chorus: And words won’t come Words won’t come
Breathe in the bottom land, and then ask me why
Stir up the sand, unpredictable skies
Dig in the dirt, then carry the tune
We’ve known hurt, but always knew what to do....
Chorus: Now words won’t come, Words won’t come
Bridge
Now I’m mapping the route, and washing the blood
Drank through the drought, and swept out the flood
Lost half the crop and most of my mind
No pen to paper can save me this time
Chorus: Cause words won’t come Words won’t come
Words won’t come Words won’t come

Devil’s in the Details
Last union left the coal behind today
Nobody noticed, once the news trucks pulled away
Still they tell me rock and roll is here to stay
It just doesn’t sound the same.
Change the rules of the game.
The devil’s in the details Doesn’t matter whose right or wrong,
The devil’s in the details Is it better to believe or belong,
Hang on...
Live in the present and talk with the past,
Just because they call it progress, doesn’t mean its meant to last,
Bargain basement theology at its best-
Each day has its time.
Each day has its rhyme.
The devil’s in the details Serenaded by the song,
The devil’s in the details And the angels too soon gone,
Hang on...
History’s irrelevant when things are going well.
But history repeats itself as far as I can tell,
Back to when eve and Adam tripped and fell,
In everything there is darkness.
In everything there is beauty.
The devil’s in the details But it all comes down to one,
The devil’s in the details There’s hope in the day to come,
Hang on.

Perfect for a Minute
Took on the dragon, down in a day,
No words, just whisky to get in the way.
Most days are strange in the ways of man
But today we had a reason
Today was the plan
A little off center and nothing square
But you canʼt say thereʼs nothing there
It was perfect for a minute
Like the moment we first met
Its the risk you run, and the thanks you get
Risk is fun, say what you will
Rather be running than standing still.
Stood on the porch, coffee in hand,
So youʼd know you could trust me, that Iʼd understand.
No more excuses, just sound and smell
Just for a moment,
All would be well
Just to find shelter from the pouring rain
A little to the left and youʼll know what I mean
It was perfect for a minute...
Like the moment we first met
Its the risk you run, and the thanks you get
Risk is fun, say what you will
Rather be running than standing still.
Could be karma has a hold on things,
Down to two dimes and a wedding ring,
It was perfect for a minute.
Like the moment we first met
Its the risk you run, and the thanks you get
Risk is fun, say what you will
Rather be running than standing still.

That’s Enough
Sunset bringing on a cold front
From the gulf to the great lakes
Another of Mother Nature’s whims I suppose
But it you’re still here when I awake......That’s enough
That’s enough
Read the news on Sunday morning,
Rain on the roof is no defense,
Can’t do much about the great divide
Only love can bridge that distance......That’s enough
That’s enough
You carry your philosophy on your shoulder
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Far as I can tell we wear them well
Well enough to believe
All comes down to who and what you love.
So close your eyes and carry on.
Uncertain footing but we stand above
Finding places to belong..... That’s enough
That’s enough
That’s enough....That’s enough

Sky is Falling
When I hear you say the sky is falling
and there isn’t any other way
Just another Chicken Little calling
Can’t you save it for another day?
Oooo the sky is falling Oooo the sky is falling
So take the truth and bury it deep
Hope it doesn’t put up a fight
Not worth loosing sleep
But its gonna keep me up all night
Oooo the sky is falling Oooo the sky is falling
You say the sky is falling, down around our ankles
Doesn’t leave us much of anything at all
But come tomorrow morning, we’ll be picking up the pieces
Together, like every time before
So let it all wash over me
Roll on down the line
Set that spirit free
And leave the screaming birds behind
Oooo the sky is falling Oooo the sky is falling
Oooo the sky is falling Oooo the sky is falling

The Water’s Fine
Sunday evening at the church of intolerance
I hear the words you say, but they don’t quite make sense
Never knew there were so many rules
On who comes to the potluck.
Dancing in the rain by the high water sign
Every saints a sinner if you give them time
Nothing in the past that can’t be left behind
Come on in- the water’s fine.
Headed to the club that used to be down by the tracks
Sign said you aren’t welcome with a monkey on your back
Just another monkey’s tale to tell
As we go play somewhere else
Dancing in the rain by the high water sign
Every saints a sinner if you give them time
Nothing in the past that can’t be left behind
Come on in- the water’s fine.
Us or them
Sink or swim
All God’s children need the water
Sunday evening at the church of the second chance
All are welcome here but you just may have to dance
Common ground makes the difference
Makes the difference go away
Dancing in the rain by the high water sign
Every saints a sinner if you give them time
Nothing in the past that can’t be left behind
Come on in- the water’s fine.

Carbon Copy ( Rhoda’s Song)
She’s the calm after the storm
Sunlight playing with her hair
Nothing like it in this world
Love’s in the water and the air
Chords on a guitar
No talk of winning or what’s fair
She plays with his beard
He’s just glad he’s here
Love’s in the water and the air
Watch the carbon copy
Hug on the original
Happy to carry, to carry on
It’s only natural
She’s the calm after the storm
Still amazes me we made it there
Hold my hand
Kick your feet, its how you swim
Love’s in the water and the air
Watch the carbon copy
Hug on the original
Happy to carry, to carry on
It’s only natural
She’s the calm after the storm
Still amazes me we made it there
Hold my hand
Kick your feet, its how you swim
Love’s in the water and the air
Love’s in the water and the air.
