I am young as the rising sun and Feel I’m dazed and I Know the moon is dark and gone and I Feel so ashamed . . . Many years that I’ve been gone and Left you here and I Know you think what I done is wrong and I Feel so ashamed . . . The tracks I made in the mud are gone, But the tracks I left on your hips are strong. And the fading of memories and I Feel ashamed and I Know that you’re in my veins and A burnin’ flame and I Feel so ashamed and I know.

“No faith in anything, I don’t ask for dreams that thin,” She said while swingin’ Her child she ain’t never seen. Ooo “Seein’ fine ain’t everything,” Ooo Audrey said, still whispering. Mmm “You’re right, Mama I’d like to see, I’d like to have me A golden pear of wings.” Ooo “Seein’ fine ain’t everything,” Ooo Audrey said, still whispering. “Yes other things Mean more to me, Like warm skin, Like runnin’ free. The first day of Spring The sun warms gently, The sun warms gently. Seein’ fine ain’t everything, Seein’ fine ain’t everything, Seein’ fine ain’t everything,” Audrey said, still whispering. Audrey said, still whispering.

Michael says that where he grew There ain’t no night Sun beatin’ hard Begins to fright Folks rode out To the mountain pines Where ran a little water That felt alright That’s where he took his mama When she died Ashes in a plastic bag Up thru the pines When he let her go now, The ashes white, Floatin’ down the water, Lit up in the sky Some say that when you, When you die, You see a light, Begin to fly

Memories 02:38
When I die I’ll fall so hard, Remembering my memories. Nothing to comfort my mind, No guiding light waitin’ for me. The fading of memories Leaves me at ease. Judgement won’t matter none, With no angels nor guiding sun. Many souls have cried and cried Remembering their darkest nights. The fading of memories Leaves me at ease. The fading of memories Leaves me at ease. The fading of memories Leaves me at ease. The fading of memories Leaves me at ease.

When, When I follow My courageous path, It leads me to you. When I see you cryin’, I cry too. When, When I follow The black of your eyes, I’m in an endless night. When I see your fears, I worry too. When, When I follow The love that you hide, It gives me my peace of mind. When I see you smilin’, I smile too

Lost Sunrise 02:52
For every desire denied, Something sacred has died. Whoah babe, what I want to know, Is is there somethin' you haven't tried? Come along, we'll have some fun, Down on the tracks with a bottle of rum. Oh babe, as the sun goes down, The beat of your heart is a powerful drum. Oh the colors in your hair Are those of the sunrise, And your eyes are a windy affair, Often times are lost; For the timid it's the cost. Oh babe what I want to know Is is there a line you haven't crossed? Come along, we'll both get lost, Up on the roof with the mornin' frost. Oh babe, as the day goes on, We’ll leave it all behind and both run off. Do you think that love is a way we've won? Do you think that love is a way we've won? Do you think that love is a way we've won?

The hunger rises but the bread is done. But the bread is done, it feels so warm, And tomorrow night we won’t be alone. Dad is crossing the border, yes the border, Through the mountain range. He’s bringing stolen animals to trade. Dad is riding on a stolen horse, On a stolen horse, A thin, white horse, And we pray that he will get back safe. If he’s home in the mornin’, in the mornin’, No prayers in vain, We’ll have food again, Give him bread that we made.

Tracks they break a runnin’ train When the wheels separate. . . I don’t want to fly away. On the earth I’d rather stay. . . I don’t want to, I don’t want to fly away. Hit the ground and run a race, Hiding in the alley ways. . . . I don’t want to, I don’t want to fly away. . . I don’t want to fly away On the earth I’d rather stay. Rather stay, rather stay, On the earth I’d rather stay.

He died on a little red road. . . No other place to go. . . Ten years was runnin’ ‘round. . . Never found a way out. . .

Just A Woman 02:55
Why do you blame me for all your sorrows? I am a woman who’s tryin’, you know. I came from far, so far from my home. My reasons for leavin’ for here are my own. Oh babe, oh babe, how I cry, Having left my baby behind. Oh no, you don’t know me, I know, But I am a good woman with a heavy soul. Why do you blame me for all your sorrows? I’m just a woman who’s trying like you. I came from far, so far from my home. My reasons for leaving for here are my own.
