Broken Birds
03:29

i cannot fly, I could not fly
only the light may gravity cheat and I
landed hard upon the stones, and it
broke the bones in both my feet
I spent 6 month locked inside
while healed the bones and raged my heart
the oxycontin burned my brain
and loneliness tore my soul apart
I cannot walk on these broken birds
if I cannot fly, if they cannot bear me
come other feet, come other wings
come lift, wheel, love, come carry me
when I returned to Terra's firm, i
thought that life could begin again but
every step like a dagger shot to
fill each step with fire and pain
i lie beneath a painting green
i lie beneath a weeping sky
on the bed of stone that brought me home
i'm ready now to fall and fly
I cannot walk on these broken birds
if I cannot fly, if they cannot bear me
come other feet, come other wings
come lift, wheel, love, come carry me
dragonfly, linnet, lark, mosquito
look crow albatross, sparrow seagull
bat, gnat, paramedic, chickadee
mourning dove, angel, eagle...
I will fall into darkness that light I may rise
come darling kiss my closing eye
will fall into darkness that light i may rise,
pogue ma hone and kiss my closing eye
i cannot fly, i could not fly...

Come Whenever I Call
03:47

I came down the mountain,
to give my horn a blow
thought I heard that pretty little mis say
"yonder comes my beau.."
Rode in with the Buckskin Boys,
by Commander Cohen
"pardon me" he said quietly
"I believe your love is showing."
the mountain girls were sweet,
the valley girls are fine
I met this smart and pretty little miss
and I had to make her mine
Petite Marie de la Bois
sweeter than you all
the reason i love the girl I love
she comes whenever I call
comes whenever I call, comes whenever I call
reason i love the girl I love
she comes whenever I call
if you see me coming,
you better step aside
walking like i'm 9 feet tall
i'm aching for my bride
met her in the summertime
got married in the fall
the reason i love the girl I love
she comes whenever I call
comes whenever I call, comes whenever I call
reason i love the girl I love
she comes whenever I call
Lost out on the river
waves a crashing over
freezing in the water
sent a prayer out to my lover
she leapt from bed and in her gown
she pulled me from the squall
the reason i love the girl I love
she comes whenever I call
comes whenever I call, comes whenever I call
reason i love the girl I love
she comes whenever I call

An angel found her drunk one dark and windless day
she said "i have been sent along to guide you one your way"
she "there is a guiding light, there is a great i am,
and I was sent to find you and help you if i can"
he asked her for a bottle a needle or a dram
a pipeful of tobacco or a firm and loving hand
she said "those are of the body that you have left behind
and you are trapped between two worlds
your passions make you blind"
She said "i have been sent here to lead you off to heaven,
to lead you to a gate of light where you may be forgiven"
He said to her "I don't believe that they will me forgive,
here in this middle kingdom determine I to live"
he asked her for a bottle a needle or a dram
a pipeful of tobacco or a firm and loving hand
she said "those are of the body that you have left behind
and you are trapped between two worlds
your passions make you blind"
She said "i have been sent here to open up your eyes
I will repeat these words to you util you realize
I will return each passing day, there is a master plan
I will return to find you and help you if I can"
and I asked her for a bottle, a needle or a dram
a pipeful of tobacco, or a firm and loving hand
but those were of the body, that I had left behind
andI was trapped between two worlds
my passions made me blind"
she said I will return each passing day, there is a master plan,
I will return to find yu to help you if i can,
I will return to find yu to help you if i can
