Mendocino

I saw your face
I saw your face
then I heard that song
then I heard that song
it was so inviting
it was so inviting
it hurt my bones
it hurt my bones
well it looks like you
well it looks like you
but your eyes are grey
but your eyes are grey
and your hair is gone
and your hair is gone
but your mind's okay.
but your mind’s okay.
Two can be complete
Two can be complete
without the rest of the world.
without the rest of the world.

Wanda Mountain

And I swear
And I swear
I'll give them back tomorrow
I’ll give them back tomorrow
but for now
but for now
I think that I'll just borrow
I think that I’ll just borrow
all the words from that song
all the words from that song
and all the chords from that other song
and all the chords from that other song
I heard
I heard
yesterday
yesterday
change
change
your mind tonight
your mind tonight
you belong to the city
you belong to the city
now
now

Port of Oakland

Let's drink
Let’s drink
to the hardworking people

let's drink
let’s drink
to the lowly of birth
to the lowly of birth
raise your glass

to the good and the evil
to the good and the evil
let's drink
let’s drink
to the salt of the earth

Smoke

This morning
This morning
on my way to work
on my way to work
I almost crashed
I almost crashed
into the back of a stopped car
into the back of a stopped car
in the tunnel
in the tunnel
suddenly people were
suddenly people were
slamming car doors
slamming car doors
running for the exit
running for the exit
my heart started to race
my heart started to race
my boots were in the backseat
my boots were in the backseat
now I can see the smoke
now I can see the smoke
do I put them on?
do I put them on?

Thank you to Ashley for showing me this new spot!

The Russian Gorge

Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so happy
but mostly
but mostly
you just make me mad
you just make me mad
linger on
linger on
your pale blue eyes.
your pale blue eyes.
I thought of you
I thought of you
as my mountain top
as my mountain top
I thought of you
I thought of you
as my peak
as my peak
I thought of you
I thought of you
as everything I've had
as everything I’ve had
but couldn't keep.
but couldn’t keep.

Headlands

I spend a lot of time by myself
I spend a lot of time by myself
imagining great speeches I'd make
imagining great speeches I’d make
to crowds of people
to crowds of people
how can I help?
how can I help?
But what would I say?
But what would I say?
Or did I find
Or did I find
and not realize
and not realize
that I was the fake.
that I was the fake.

go back
go back
to old times
