Perfect Wonder 03:50
lyrics
Slow down and know the subtlety Away from past anxiety No doubt in our discovery An endless world uncovering Sit back and paint the sky with me Take in a breath of evergreen Relax into the energy Of being where you’re meant to be Nothing can buy what we’ve got When I can barely breathe Nothing can buy what we’ve got It’s a part of the mystery Somewhere beyond the way that I feel Deep in the essence of what is real You’ll find me there in perfect wonder While I dream of how I got to you And when the present washes away I let tomorrow make it okay Somehow I know it’s all worth waiting for And I’m inclined to stay and see Nothing can buy what we’ve got When I can barely breathe Nothing can buy what we’ve got It’s a part of the mystery

Recollection 03:58
lyrics
Is it in your head now? That ache in your body every night Take what you get And nobody tells you what happens after Maybe you should lay down Don’t cry when you have to be polite Somebody said It’s only a man who can have the answer You better listen to the doctor Someday you’ll find that you were never all alone You’ll find Sometimes the way feels like being tethered to a stone But in time with a broken open heart All the pain in the end will remain A vague recollection You’re the only one who Will fight for the way you want to feel Dozens of pills And history folds in another chapter Looking for a breakthrough Hold tight to the world you know for real Medicine sells And women are scolded for trying to matter Can’t be a mother and a father Someday you’ll find that you were never all alone You’ll find Sometimes the way feels like being tethered to a stone But in time with a broken open heart All the pain in the end will remain A vague recollection

Harvest Dress 04:10
lyrics
There’s some kind of feel tonight that takes me back with you Such a long way from heaven I know you’ve been living from a fading point of view When you can’t stand the present Grown up but we’ll never grow old the way we wanted to Sweet dreams of quiet years are never coming true You’ve got a candy cigarette in your harvest dress Round and round we go by the fire glow Candy cigarette in your harvest dress Round and round we go by the fire glow It’s not that I ever thought our dance would end so soon No we never lost the fire A mirror of love I was reflecting back to you Seeing so much to admire Grown up but we’ll never grow old the way we wanted to Sweet dreams of quiet years never coming true You’ve got a candy cigarette, in your harvest dress Round and round we go by the fire glow Candy cigarette, in your harvest dress Round and round we go by the fire glow

Soft Target 04:15
lyrics
Long barrel magnum that you lifted from a friend Out past the state line there’s some trouble to get in Sixteen, low self esteem and a wicked look in your eye Feels so cathartic squeezing off that forty-five Hey, I knew you as a boy in Tennessee That Dixie whistle never sounded good to me White lies, I won’t deny I should have said much more than I meant Sweet southern comfort keeping us indifferent Bury your grief like a seed for your son to discover Stow the anger in a fortress deep inside And when the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree that’s rotten Don’t pretend that you don’t know exactly why Last time I saw you you were waiting for the storm So rough and tumble in your combat uniform Sit tight, stare down the sight at a target softer than clay And if it goes south well you’re just having a bad day Racing around you now the mob is closing in Squeeze off a couple, it’s the best it’s ever been Hands up, back to the truck and now I’m starting to see You stole a life to prove what a man you happen to be Bury your grief like a seed for your son to discover Stow the anger in a fortress deep inside And when the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree that’s rotten Don’t pretend that you don’t know exactly why
