There are faces in the cliffs Smiling down as we float by There are faces way up high We share the earth, water, and sky Now we will walk Where man has walked before Let not talk What man has talked before This river’s got hopes This river’s got dreams This river’s got no chance Of making the sea Dirty water down below Turn on your tap It’s in your home Dirty water down below Through your veins into your soul This river’s got hopes This river’s got dreams This river’s got no chance Of making the sea So wash your car Make sure your lawn is lookin’ green ‘Cause this river’s got no chance Of making the sea Dirty water down below Turn on your tap It’s in your home Dirty water down below Through your veins into your soul

June 03:13
I knew a girl named June I met her last August When she began to bloom She began to bloom She was 19, prom queen, didn’t need no king Didn’t need me That was quite clear Clear enough to see All of her friends moved away Somewhere She stayed right there, same clothes to wear Didn’t have no cares She sat beneath trees, sang songs about bees Sang about me If you asked she wouldn’t tell She wouldn’t come clean Spring doesn’t sprint Winter hardly quits Fall softly hits But Summer Oh June Now she’s gone she’s moved on For the city To find herself she said Honestly I go to the tree, hoping she’ll find me In the breeze She nowhere in the leaves Nowhere to be seen Spring doesn’t sprint Winter hardly quits Fall softly hits But Summer Oh June

Uh-Oh #3 02:49
Uh-oh where do you go Little girl of mine Uh-oh where do you go Little girl of mine I don’t even want to know Where you go after dark You haven’t really been around Like you were at the start Uh-oh where do you Little girl of mine Is that whiskey on your breath Please do tell It better be from Kentucky Or you can go to hell Uh-oh where do you go Little girl of mine I would like to say I wish you would stay Lay your head down Next to me Let me pretend It’s all okay Now the rain pourin’ down On my head No one here to share my love Or to share my bed Uh-oh where do you go Little girl of mine I would like to say I wish you would stay Lay your head down Next to me Let me pretend It’s all okay I was hopin’ and prayin’ too That I was wrong Now I know it’s just a matter of time ‘Till Baby you are gone Uh-oh where do you go Little girl of mine Uh-oh where do you go Little girl of mine

I need to listen now to the birds Inside of all the chirpin’ I think I hear some words I need to spend some time With the ants Get on my hands and knees and give All of them a chance I’ve slowly found Truth in stones Pleasure in my moans Melody in bones I need to free myself From my own head If I spend another week in here I will end up dead I’ve slowly found Truth in stones Pleasure in my moans Melody in bones I need to pass around All my love Wrap it up in paper And give it just because I’ve slowly found Truth in stones Pleasure in my moans Melody in bones I need to listen now To my bones All these rhythms keep me warm Shivering alone I’ve slowly found Truth in stones Pleasure in my moans Melody in bones

Big Blue 04:12
In words there’s lies Those clouds hide skies So blue In love there’s truth I ain’t got no proof But I got you If I was me I’d sit below a great big tree And sing all day If you were you There’d be no need for school You could run away You’re right I’m wrong I’m weak your stong Or so you claim Why can’t we feel We’ve lost what’s real What a shame If you were you You wouldn’t be no Great big fool You’d love me If I was me I’d love you ‘till eternity Or so I'd try In words there’s lies Those clouds hide skies So blue In love there’s truth I ain’t got no proof But I got you

Flood 02:02
Why do you still call me by that name? Why do you still call me by that name? After all that rain you think I’m still the same Thought I knew you until the great big flood Thought I knew you until the great big flood Turns out you were weaker, weaker than the mud I’ve seen no rainbow now that the water's gone I’ve seen no rainbow now that the water's gone I’ll take that as a sign I’m movin’ on Why do you still call me by that name? Why do you still call me by that name? After all that rain you think I’m still the same

There’s chickens in the trees my darlin There’s chicken’s in the trees my son They’ve been there since 3 They’re shakin’ at their knees I wonder what they’re seein’ up from up there There’s horses in the kitchen my darlin’ There’s horses in the kitchen my son They’ve been there since 4 They’ve locked all the doors I wonder what they’re cookin’ up in there There’s a pig on the tractor my darlin’ There’s a pig on the tractor my son He’s been there since 5 Where’d he learn to drive I wonder what he’s plowin’ out there There’s a rooster in the cellar my darlin’ There’s a rooster in the cellar my son He’s been there since 6 He’s still lickin’ his lips I wonder what he’s drinkin’ down there There’s a cow in the outhouse my darlin’ There’s a cow in the outhouse my son She's been there since 7 I ain’t goin’ smellin’ I wonder what she’s readin’ in there
