there’s a vein running through this mine
From the center of the earth as you go
You can trace all the pain you feel
All the way to where the roots start to show
But you don’t wanna be known
As the seed that can’t be sown
from the heart of the sun
To the dark side of the moon
they’re playing a song
Only you can hear the tune
In the wide open space
Where the heart can never go
If it’s all just the same
I think I’d rather not know
When you were young you couldn’t leave it behind
and now you couldn’t find a single drop
Once you couldn’t get this whole machine in motion
Now you couldn’t slow the spinning top
from the heart of the sun
To the dark side of the moon
they’re playing a song
Only you can hear the tune
In the wide open space
Where the heart can never go
If it’s all just the same
I think I’d rather not know
There’s no more mystery in counting what the years might have cost
You gotta listen to the rhythm of the memories you lost
from the heart of the sun
To the dark side of the moon
they’re playing a song
Only you can hear the tune
In the wide open space
Where the heart can never go
If it’s all just the same
I think I’d rather not know

Pressed up against the mystery
Too close, too close, too close to see
The way the lines converge, in symmetry
Colors resolve in harmony
Fighting against the river’s flow
Too fast, too fast, too fast or too slow
Just let the water move you easily
Right to the place you’re meant to be
Autumn wears a crown
Of golden filigree
To celebrate the change
And embrace the mystery
Winter wears a gown
White from head to toe
Like a hidden bride
Her secrets to unfold
’Til my love grows cold
I’ll be learning to let go
And live in the unknown
Searching to find the middle way
Live for, live for, live for today
Surrender to song and let it play
You feel your soul and spirit sway
Deep in the heart of the ancient sound
Lost and, lost and, lost and then found
The music is alive, it’s everywhere
To lift you up and ease your cares
Flowers welcome spring
Since the dawn of time
Like a melody
There’s rhythm and there’s rhyme
Summer choirs sing
A polyphonic spree
A psychedelic blues
Older than the sea
’Til my love grows cold
I’ll be learning to let go
And live in the unknown
Autumn wears a crown
Of golden filigree
To celebrate the change
And embrace the mystery
Winter wears a gown
White from head to toe
Like a hidden bride
Her secrets to unfold
’Til my love grows cold
I’ll be learning to let go
And live in the unknown
Pressed up against the mystery
Too close, too close, too close to see
The way the lines converge, in symmetry
Colors resolve in harmony

I've got more than I could ever need
Love and food and shelter everyday
I can sit down and watch the clouds roll by
got no reason to complain
but for every sunrise is a sunset
and there will come a time when it goes away
and I try to make the most of the time I'm given
but there's always a couple moments in each day
when my heart breaks a little
daily tug on the strings
such a sweet ride but you can't hide
from the thought of it passing
the only thing that stays the same
is the fact that things will change
if you let them your burdens won't let you get away
from the day to day heartbreak
happen to find a love, happen to find a home
find happiness in the things you own
find your voice find joy in giving back
be thankful for what you have
when my heart breaks a little
daily tug on the strings
such a sweet ride but you can't hide
from the thought of it passing
the only thing that stays the same
is the fact that things will change
don't let it pile up be crushed underneath the weight
of the day to day heartbreak
I need to get lost again
I need to find my love again
again and again
when my heart breaks a little
daily tug on the strings
such a sweet ride but you can't hide
from the thought of it passing
the only thing that stays the same
is the fact that things will change
if you let them your burdens won't let you get away
from the day to day heartbreak

Night Ride Home
Hey Bus driver How long
is it gonna take for me to get back home
I’m up all night counting the cat’s eyes
my minds is playing tricks on me
the stars light the sky
On a Night Ride Home
On a Night Ride Home
Hey Baby it’s been awhile
finding my way through the storm
for miles and miles
Chasing the river
Searching the wild
Playing the same old games
I ask myself why
On a Night Ride Home
On a Night Ride Home
Hey Bus driver the moon is high
I’m drifting so far away
I believe I could I could fly
I’m watching the river
crystallize
my minds is playing tricks on me
the stars light the sky
On a Night Ride Home
On a Night Ride Home

Didn’t write me a song this week
And I’m gonna tell you why
Went to party at a buddy’s house
And we let the good times roll by
It was my birthday weekend
And I caught a little buzz
We behaved and kept it quiet
And nobody called the fuzz
Somebody decided to puke on Mike’s back stairs
I slipped and fell, broke two ribs, but the whiskey helped me not to care
Woke up the next mornin’
And man i really began to feel my age
And now it’s my goddamn birthday
And I damn sure ain’t no sage
Don’t need no well wishin
Don’t need sympathy
Cause I live in a country
Where the goddamn healthcare’s free

'Come the truth again
'Come the truth again
Pressed flowers falling out' old books of mine
Waste water
Another crowded room
Another crowded room
Lips stay shut, they foster such a guise
Keep your truth in pockets with buttons no thumb can twist asunder
Foster the mystery
It's an Otis Spahn
It's an Otis Spahn
When a Honus Wagner wouldn't mean that much to me
Just tobacco cards
But I won't wind up low and outside: a trade on the rail out
Cut away
Play your mystery
It's alright
It's alright
The way she moves even better than the fly
Cruel, blind mystery
One blind mystery

v1:
This wasn't here an hour ago
It ain't "Yesterday," but it makes me smile
Another tune, or a song for the road
Another friend to walk me through the miles
pre:
You go to bed with some fears & doubts
and you wake up with a song
We all got some shit we need to work out
We're just trying to say it before we're gone
ch:
It's a mystery that a single song would come to me
Counting little victories, I get to sing
I think it's worth the time, but we'll have to wait & see
If we're talking about magic, I believe
v2:
A stroke of luck or a trick of the light
It always seems to come as a surprise
Can't always wait 'til the time is right
You gotta will the right one to arrive
pre:
You go to bed with some love & joy
and you wake up with a song
It might inspire or it might annoy
We're just trying to say it before we're gone
ch:
It's a mystery that a single song would come to me
Counting little victories, I get to sing
I think it's worth the time, but we'll have to wait & see
If we're talking about magic, I believe
