Patchwork Sky
03:14
|

|
I’m driving down that old country road and
The patchwork sky shines so bright for me today.
And I’m thinking of all the boys that came before you,
Passing over like a whim,
Just as soon they’d blow away again.
And it seems to me,
I’ve got too much left to do and I’m only twenty-three.
Shed another light before noon,
Tell me time will always be there for free,
There for free.
I’m driving down that old country road and
The rolling hills share their secrets with the wind
And I’m thinking of all the stories I remember,
Seems like it was someone else,
Twenty years just sitting on the shelf.
And it seems to me,
I’ve got too much left to do and too little room to breathe.
Shed another light before noon,
Tell me time will always be there for free,
There for free.
I’m driving down that old August-red road,
And I think my life is like that patchwork sky.
Every cloud that passes by is
Something I’m learning while I’m looking for the light,
And I’m looking for a light,
I’m still looking for a light,
I’m still looking for a light,
And the patchwork sky shines so bright for me today.

You'll Never Know
03:54
|

I get lonely in the dead of night,
When the moon is bright and the wind howls for you
I hear you singing in the willow trees
So sweet and soft, it brings me to my knees.
I’ve been creeping in the riverbed,
Laying down my sorrow on that icy winter’s edge.
The world keeps on turning and I’m climbing up that hill
A long night’s journey and a hard dream to kill
And all this fortune moves its weight as I go
I still love you and you’ll never know.
You were born under a broken star,
With hell to pay and a crosswind in your heart.
We made our home under a moonlit sky,
Where the river runs, but now it’s running dry.
I’ve been down that road a hundred times,
Laying down my sorrow but you’re always on my mind.
The world keeps on turning and I’m climbing up that hill
A long night’s journey and a hard dream to kill
And all this fortune moves its way as I go
I still love you and you’ll never know.
I keep waiting for the day you’re coming home
Bite my tongue forever cause it’s never you
Never you.
The world keeps on turning and I’m climbing up that hill
A long night’s journey and a hard dream to kill
And all this fortune moves its way as I go
I still love you and you’ll never know.

I’ve been out on that road tonight,
I’ve been looking for somewhere to lay my head.
I’ve been out on my own so long,
I don’t know where I’ve been or if I’m going home.
I’ve been down on that dusty ground
Where the wind lays heavy on her journey through the night,
But I loved you right.
A mile high on that ether ride,
I was feeling hopeful like I’d never been.
You appeared in the autumn year
When the grass was high and fruit was hanging low.
I’ve been down on that dusty ground
Where the wind lays heavy on her journey through the night,
But I loved you right.
Drifting out under an empty sky and I feel those years
Like a sinking stone.
Am I bound to just hang around
Till I lose myself in rancored dreams of fame?
I’ve been down on that hallowed ground
Begging for a sign or some kind of forgiveness,
But I gave you this
I loved you.

The Red Road
02:58
|

|
Walking down that red dirt road,
By the place I saw you last
The years have come and gone so fast,
And left me walking here alone.
You know you never can reclaim
Pieces of you that you left
Behind you with each passing step
Walking down that red dirt road.
Where the wild lilies grow,
There’s a place you took me in
With bitter pills and medicine,
But I know love means letting go.
Night that comes without a star
Is hanging in the east
Broken dreams and battle scars
Things that I believed.
I wish you were here with me.
Walking back the way I came,
I could see you waiting there
The autumn leaves fall everywhere,
Like footsteps on a red dirt road.
