Clouds Go By 02:51
I sure would like to keep you for myself, windows down and eyes not looking 'round with the focus that would take us far away and change our hearts a thousand times before the last ride. Butterfly don't have to try and always takes to flight. Was I wrong to see just who I could be? It's enough to watch the clouds go by now.

When I feel that coming tension, I want to run in your direction. When panic's got me by the collar, I need to go your way. If it feels right, I'm gonna stay out to tonight. Cut the tension, cut right through. I'm coming straight for you And it's true, tonight I'm on my way. She smiles. She holds her head just right, because she knows she's the one (thing I can't touch).

Ode 02:41
A mother's child with eyes to see, slowly claiming the right to be around to feel heaven come crashing down to the ground. A crooked smile, a line in the dirt, left to remember ours to the new world. The frozen wind blows right through me, gold and glowing for you now.

For Tomorrow 03:03
Moaning tired, it's a long way home. And I'm feeling like I could never do this alone. Well I'm not so far from yesterday, and we're going, not knowing where. My mind's on fire, racing off a ways down the road. We're down to the wire but we don't feel it in our bones. Take your time, and do right. Lay your sword down. Find your way through love and pain. I'll be starting tomorrow. Take what you want 'cause it will all be gone come morning light. Sing your sorrow far, and dream of better things, like you'll return someday with all that you borrowed.

Seed 01:43
Burn the clothes you've worn. Let every page be torn. Change your name, change your face. Gather all your things to bury now. Ancient the fire that fools the eye. What's down inside, it only hides.
6.
Third Moon 04:24
I'm making the same mistakes all over again, you see I never quite learn. Send up a song and hope for forgiveness while I still can. Old feeling, a brand new dawn. I see the way but I'm just standing in line. Some kind of songbird singing me to new heights. Knowing lies in the third moon rising. I think it's arriving now. I can see out for miles around. I think we're aligning now. I feel the trembling of the ground. Look to the rising tide a second to prove you're still alive. The wait could be over. It's almost over. I think we're aligning now. I think it's arriving now, well…
