Ride The Shadows (2006)   Water I swam out into the water The air was warm and still I touched my feet on the bottom Then I climbed back up the hill I held out for the hopeful And I held out a long, long time Casting in a wishful motion When there was nothing on my line When I can’t see what I want to Each moment is bound and tied Yellow field, sky grey Black birds stand and sway And screech out to the night As they feed in the fading light It’s approaching and then it’s receding But it’s with me all the time The horizon that glows red perfection Or cuts like a cold black line I’m just a simple body With a treacherous piece of mind That makes me sink right down in dark water Or throw my arms open wide But when I don’t try to hold on to The moments, they slip and slide Yellow field, sky grey, Black birds strut and splay When restlessness ignites I know that they’ll soon take flight Bridge: I was a castaway In this living play It was all childhood rhymes and grand designs But something got blurred in between the lines When I ran ahead just to look behind And a curtain was rising every time I cast myself in the false confines Of tomorrow Or yesterday So if you’re piecing this all together Like a quilt or a puzzle sky You’re just twisting around on a tether As you choke on a chain of lies Because out on the windy shoreline Or out on the crowded road We’re all out in the middle of nowhere And the only devil is the thought that you hold Because words can’t tell what you’re onto When each moment, it opens wide Yellow field, sky grey, Black birds fly away And drift with pure delight As they disappear from site Yes, they disappear from site Oh they disappear from site
