End of the Dawn
I saw the rise of the sun
Must be the end of the dawn, must be the end of the dawn
I heard the cry of the dove
Must be the end of the dawn, must be the end of the dawn
I watched my love walk away
Must be the end of today
And if her heart has been reborn
Must be the start of a storm, must be the start of the storm
Chorus
I found the end of a rose
Fell off the edge of the world
Put all my weight upon her shoulders
And if she can't carry on
Must be the end of the dawn
Touched by a shadow and a thorn
Must be the end of the dawn, must be the end of the dawn
Chorus
I found the end of a rose
Fell off the edge of the world
Put all my weight upon her shoulders
I bought the end of the road
Laid down in front of my soul
Thought I had written heaven's song
Must be the end of the dawn
Must be the end of the dawn
Great Divide
I woke up on the horizon line, you were on my mind
Sky was red, about to break apart/Must hold a mirror to my broken heart
Chorus
I crossed the border leaving Idaho, with no idea what I'm looking for
I need a coastline, or just a state of mind
Or just a bridge to cross this Great Divide
If I could sleep then I would miss this storm/but there are other ways of keeping warm
So I'll keep sleeping but I'm losing you/time will tell if it is me you lose
Chorus
Across the border leaving Idaho, with no idea what I'm looking for
I need a coastline, or just a state of mind
Or just a bridge to cross this Great Divide
Not many know that there are mountains here and just a wasteland in my rearview mirror
Did I miss the exit for my last stop? I passed the liquor and the gun shop
Chorus
Across the border leaving Idaho, with no idea what I'm searching for
I need a coastline, or just a state of mind
Or just a bridge to cross this Great Divide
I Still Need to Hear from You
I still need to hear from you, O my darling
The clouds rolled in casting shadows in my eyes
Shadows full of rain begging answers for my mind
Shadows full of rain begging answers for my mind
I still need to hear from you, O my darling only you
There comes a time when you close the book at the ending line
Must another tree die just to let you fill your mind
Must another tree die just to entertain your mind
I still need to hear from you, O my darling only you
O my darling, only you, how I need to hear from you
All the pages that words could fill would summon the forest from a far off hill
Unless patience kept you standing still you'd never know my love
Unless patience kept you standing still you'd never know my love
I still need to hear from you, O my darling only you
O my darling only you, how I need to hear from you
I still need to hear from you, O my darling only you
O but only if you love me, like I think I know you do
But I know you still love me, as long as one and one is two
Learning to Breathe
I'm chasing rainbows and a host of other delights
I'm getting nowhere and I want to fall asleep at night
I never fall asleep at night
Chorus
I'm learning to breathe, learning to sing
Learning to hope in something and not just believe
I'm staring at mirrors but I don't see a reflection of me
I'm standing in places and locations that I've never seen
They're places I don't want to be
Chorus
I'm learning to breathe, learning to sing
Learning to hope in something and not just believe
I'm chasing feathers that keep getting caught in a storm
I'm living nightmares as I lay here and I wait for the morn'
I lay there and I wait for the morning
Mercy
I need an answer to rest my head on
I need forgiveness to get me through the night
I hear your voice and I run for cover
I'm feeling tired but I hardly feel inside
Chorus
Mercy, mercy, mercy never came
Mercy, mercy, mercy if mercy is your name
I think that I would have stronger shoulders
But all these questions keep weighing on my mind
If could run would there be escaping
Maybe for once I could make it on my own
Chorus
Mercy, mercy, mercy never came
Mercy, mercy, mercy if mercy is your name
I tried to run to a different rhythm
But I'm standing on a shallow, broken shore
Chours
Mercy, mercy, mercy never came
Mercy, mercy, mercy if mercy is your name
Ohio
Baby, if I knew the signs I'd know which way was right
And I would stay within your arms just like the blood that floods your heart
But if this heart dries out, just like a well in summer's drought
Then I will need you to come find me like I need you to come find me
I need you now
But I have to go
Ohio...
I left you years ago, before the cold, and we were kids
But then again, we have to grow up
Look again, we haven't changed since then
Except within
Ohio...
Looking for a Name
I'm leaving for the countryside cause I can't breathe this air
I'm feeling apprehensive, you're looking kind of scared
Cause the land ain't made with crusted, glassy, pavement covered stairs
And there are no walls to hide from un-awares
Chorus
But everywhere I run you'll have to understand:
I'm falling on my knees to fold my hands
And every time I cry it shakes my mortal frame
My heart's looking for a name
I wander down a path, sometimes I make my own
If it gets me where I'm trying to go
Closer to the place I call my home
Chorus
'cause everywhere I run you'll have to understand:
I'm falling on my knees to fold my hands
And every time I cry it shakes my mortal frame
My heart's looking for a name
I wrestled with an angel on a stormy day
What a day for it to rain
But I held on 'til God gave me a name...
Chorus
Everywhere I run you'll have to understand:
I'm falling on my knees to fold my hands
And every time I cry it shakes my mortal frame
My heart's looking for a name...
Rocky Mountain Diamond
I left the sunny seaside on a train
Headed for a mountain, and a town without a name
Where I'd been before, but I wanted more
Cause I'd searched for silver but I found a girl who wanted gold
But I did not know
You might believe that I look just the same
The way she looked would drive an even better man insane
When she let down her hair all I could do was stare
And I soon forgot my ocean, and my silver mountain
Thought I'd found a diamond
Chorus
O, my Rocky Mountain Diamond
You were everything I wanted
For all the silver in that mountain
How I wish she wanted me
I left the Rocky Mountains with a pistol and my Diamond
Headed for the city so that she could make her mind up
But I did not have what she thought I had
And we slept in separate rooms but we did kiss when I proposed
And I gave her a rose
Chorus
O, my Rocky Mountain Diamond
You were everything I wanted
For all the silver in that mountain
How I wish she wanted me
We'd crossed the Mississippi when she found that I was broke
So she stole my gun and sold my boots, but couldn't buy her hope
When I found her there at the foot of my bed
My Diamond was in pieces in her crimson covered head
Chorus
O, my Rocky Mountain Diamond
You were everything I wanted
For all the silver in that mountain
How I wish she wanted me
How I wish she wanted me
I went to California just to grow old
My Diamond only proved that I was little more than fool's gold
But I still have the sea, and it captures me
Cause I learned how to sink before I ever learned to swim
Because I had jumped in
Alright With You
I want to take a walk in a sky that's orange
And wake up with you on a Saturday morning
If that's alright with you
I want to lay down in a field of daisies
Sleep in for hours and wake up lazy
If that's alright with you
Chorus
If I am weak then the world is through
Unless love lies with you
I want to go sail on a starry ocean
Reach out and capture a song in motion
Its all the same to you
Chorus
If I am weak then the world is through
Unless love lies with you
Over & Over
I cannot believe that I belong to You
And You belong to me too
I'll sing it over & over & over
I waited at the ocean side
So I could feel the ocean's tide
And see the waves crash in my mind
When I close my eyes
I waded out at the ocean side
I'll follow closely to the Word
And not be quick to draw the sword
Accepting mercy from my Lord
And share the grace He can afford
And offer grace He does afford
Chorus
I'll sing it over & over & over.
Over & over & over.
Over the length of my life I will live with no doubt
That the end will bring me closer
I want to stand on a mountain top
And sit among forget-me-nots
And run for those who can barely walk
Cause I don't care what can be bought
And show them love cannot be bought.
And walk the way that Jesus walked
And teach them things that Jesus taught
Chorus
I'll sing it over & over & over
Over & over & over
Over the length of my life I will live with no doubt
That the end will bring me closer
Follow Me (Wolfie's Song)
Come with me, down this lonely riverbend
In the trees there are creatures for pretend
In the creek the beds are made of ice
Flowers grow beneath blankets that are made of snow
Follow me, out in the cold
Follow me, where nobody else will go
When the sun comes out to shine
Icicles sing "pitter-patter" in perfect time
Late at night the stars surround the moon
Creatures cry a beautifully sad, sad tune
Suivez-moi, quand il fait foid
Suivez-moi, ou personne ne va
Suivez-moi, dans la nuit plus sombre
Ne t'en fais pas, enfant, tout va bien allez
Ne t'en fais pas, enfant, tout va bien allez
