The Wayward Charms (free) 02:36
I'm playin' it straight these days, but playin' at all is just a fool's game And I know I've played the fool 'Cause I'm a sidewinder, honey, not straight, square or sober By a mile or a good day's drive I'll take the wheel when you need me to No questions asked, no second guessing you Even the most wayward soul could be Charmed by your eyes enough to walk the narrow happily I've lost the easy way out, without a doubt And I don't claim to doubt a thing about my past Sometimes phases never end, but every end I pass Just doesn't seem to phase the likes of me I'll take the wheel when you need me to No questions asked no second guessing you Even the most wayward sould could be Charmed by your eyes enough to walk the narrow happily Struck by your love enough to walk the narrow The straight and narrow... Happily

"Will you come with me?" she asked then faded "We're going walking in the rain Heaven knows where we'll end up tonight anyway Heaven knows me and I'm unafraid I'm not a lot like anyone, careless and free Born of the wind, a child of all that you can see Still you look at me like you might even believe" Consider the dragon that guards her virgin gates Tame as a kitten, a killer of snakes I'll place a charm upon its fire breathing face I'll chase the dragon right out of the way I'm not a lot like anyone, careless and free Born of the wind, a child of all that you can see Still you look at me like you might even believe "Still you look at me like you might believe in anything, in me" Believe me when I show you the dragon's teeth
3.
Savage Forever (free) 03:54
Render me senseless I come in innocence Here for the magic show and the love of my life A savage forever, through every endeavor I aspire only to open my eyes So beguiling and true The crown of this fool Lies on the ground and stares at the sky Stoned Deep In wild wonder A savage forever, through every endeavor I aspire only to open my eyes
4.
Out of this world Out of my love for you I gave my word I gave my love to take out out of this world We're headed out of this world I know sometimes it's not so bad I see the desolation make you sad I know sometimes that it can hurt very good And it should, awe honey it should I fear for the times when we're all alone The stranger makes himself right at home Puts his picture on the mantle, rubs the eyes righ out of ours And it's hard Very, very hard Well I had a mind to take the easy way out Forget it man that's really what it's all about From here to forever and the in between We'll be there until we find a way Out of this world
5.
I thought I was a thistle seed blowin' Across the vast & deep, but it seems I was wrong Yet you watch me as though you'd always known As though you'd seen me dancin' in your visions, mama When you bring the knife to the beast of my soul It bellows the hearth and keeps us warm A drifter fallen to the winter's cold I'm helplessly living without secrets No more doubt in my mind You're a gem, a real find Through the rough edges of time We wind up here So this drifter hangs on the wall by a wire A photograph now of a lost shoreline Bare and beaten as the crucifix All jangled and spread across the watery depths Yet wrecked and revived on the living room floor With castaway dreams that aren't dark anymore They play out like movies or novels or songs About drifting so far that I have no more doubt Together through whatever 'Til death or bust If the world goes to hell In this love I trust To drift like a thistle seed From here to the sun Burn out forever And return to stardust clouds in my mind
6.
Anytime, I'd take you in Anytime, I could be your friend But if I had a wish Just one and that was it I wouldn't have to feel any thought or regret With a shift in the tide, no consequence to abide The spoils of a wonderful life I'd wish your world away and welcome you to mine Anytime, I'd take you in Anytime, I could be your friend So when your world disappears Folds to the weight of your fear And things that you've been told for thousands of years Come 'round when you need To my door and feel free To get some rest and don't mind me While I wish your world away and welcome you to mine Anytime...

Harpsilord 04:38
In another realm we might not have to choose Among the here and now or daydreams What will we keep and what should we lose? Let's travel lighter than a sunbeam Don't waste a moment on anything less than forever Keep every clever wish for nothing all all near to your heart Don't fall apart I saw you walk across the bridge last night again I saw you dance on the pavillion I hope that you forgot what you were doing there I hope you let the silence fill you Don't waste a moment on anything less than forever Keep every clever wish for nothing at all near to your heart Don't fall apart
8.
Psychedelica 03:59
Let's get carried away in a new day You can follow me down and toward the shadows where we play Love lies beneath the whisper on the seaside Anytime that you rise Let's write letters to God in the sand by the ocean We'll offer up our hands in a liberated motion Love lies between the morning and every evening Within the darkest of nights When you listen to the whisper It tells you how to be true
9.
There is no difference between here and Los Angeles This midwest town is downright stuck in its ways I've got this band and I swear we sound fabulous But let's not be rash, let's not get carried away I might be sick of hearing songs about Los Angeles All desert folklore, sunshine mountain haze I talk to refugees from southern California And I'm filled with jealousy, doubt and malaze But the lazy days I've had could amaze Any sunkissed face anyway Yet the places I've seen can't replace the sparkling dreams Of California sands or rolling tumbleweeds I count the miles between here and Los Angeles I do believe that I have friends there today I'm off to meet them in the depths of Laurel Canyon To watch the ghosts of a century play I swear sometimes I must have died in Los Angeles And been reborn amidst the grass of rolling plains Perhaps a pieace of me took shelter in ol' Joshua Tree I'm sentimental for a time I can't explain Still, the reigns of my fiery chariot lay in the stable Beneath stores of grain My fate will remain amidst rock, field and plain And dream of Los Angeles fame
10.
On and on until the morning On and on until the sea You and me, in good company On and on until eventually Sunday morning's not for working Sunday morning you catch your feet I'll see you sweet and the top of the tree Looking for a better place to be
11.
Down in the valley and into the deep Under the skies where angels sleep I only want to stay awake and keep on dreaming Of a daydream of a day of a day of a day A day that I knew when I was younger I doesn't matter where or when It's through and through This is an ocean I've never crossed Gimme the wings of an albatross When you're with me you might as well be lost But I don't mind gettin' lost with you You had a smile like a cherry bomb We were higher together whether right or wrong I'll admit without regret that I drift there from time to time In a daydream of a day of a day of a day A day when I was much too young to know better Sit back and get deep for awhile We'll see it through
12.
Something I remember about something I forget There are places in my mind that I haven't been to yet Out there in the distance, so far outta sight Rising over the horizon and growing ever bright Yet down here in the darkness I make wishes in the wishing well Where I collect a severence for the dreams I failed to sell So if you see me and your dreaming Just remember where dreams come from The enchanted souls among us Burning out beneath the sun Lo and behold Dawn to dusk, warmth to cold Rust and turn to dust As the rest of time unfolds Revealed in the light Growing forever bright Day becomes the night If it becomes me then I'm alright
