Real Gone 04:01
When you're gone you're gone, real gone It's a one-way track Boat through the mist to Avalon There's no turning back I was all made up on you A flame inside When you're gone you're gone, real gone No turning back, I've tried When I call I hit the wall Of silence can't break through When I call my spirit falls Nothing I can do Empty spaces your other man In places where I'd be When I call I hit the wall Nothing for me Taking some time out to clean I'm taking time clearing out the attic Retune the old radio And rid my head of the static Taking some time out to clean When you're gone you're gone, real gone Footsteps in the dust Words lost to spittling wind And songs in junkyard rust Should be singing of the fire you lit Instead I'm on the road When you're gone you're gone, real gone I'm kicking up grit in the cold Taking some time out to clean I'm taking time clearing out the attic Retune the old radio And rid my head of the static Taking some time out to clean When you're gone you're gone, real gone When you're gone you're gone, real gone When you're gone you're gone, real gone

Somali Road 03:53
Took a series of wrong turns Found the right track home Been singing songs of love But spending my nights alone Got somewhere waiting To get out of the cold Better get it in your spirit House upon Somali Road The way becomes straighter The more it's in demand Keep it in low gear Don't sell out to the man Be true to the music What has been bestowed Better get it in your spirit Roll along Somali Road Be true to the music What has been bestowed Better get it in your spirit Roll along Somali Road Vision's enhanced Shadowy glance Swings and swings and swings and dances away All that I knew Comes back renewed And shakes and shakes and shakes and awakens the day Drown out the alleycats Strangling a tune New riffs 'til fingers stiff Night time now afternoon Get it all down pat Breaking its code Better get it or regret it House upon Somali Road Better get it or regret it House upon Somali Road Better get it or regret it House upon Somali Road

Dear Heart 04:13
Dear Heart, Dear Heart Why did you change? Dear Heart, Dear Heart Become so pained? Flying off different directions Dear Heart, Dear Heart Went down that road Dear Heart, Dear Heart Came out of the cold Leaving everything behind you You warmed that day You said she'd stay But you let her go You warmed that day You said she'd stay But you let her go I've got time To turn it around Try to right that wrong Get something going on If it's too late, if it's too late I'd let it go Hurt but I'll abide No switch to override Dear Heart, Dear Heart Why did you change? Dear Heart, Dear Heart Become so pained? Flying off different directions You warmed that day You said she'd stay But you let her go You warmed that day You said she'd stay But you let her go

Hungry Dog 04:12
Goodbye pork pie hat Winter laden, the skies Try to reason with it Still no compromise Down along the highway slow Sorrow for company It beats me ragged As a cedar tree I can't lay down these burdens That time has gone That time won't be again I can't lay down these burdens I can't lay down these burdens That time has gone That time won't be again I can't lay down these burdens This is my winter song Feeling lost my friend Like a hungry dog I'm easily taken in The cold and the lonely nights When the visions start Hand slips from mine I wanna tear my heart apart Hand slips from mine I wanna tear my heart apart I can't lay down these burdens That time has gone That time won't be again I can't lay down these burdens Like a hungry dog I'm easily taken in Like a hungry dog I'm easily taken in Like a hungry dog

Seems forever unchanging Tracks that I've made all my life On Old Switchback Lane On Old Switchback Lane Took an age to carve those It's our love for all time On a golden bough Sending out the word Travellin' away Crow laughs at racing minds We scatter about like the rain Simple things matter Laughter and talk, glad times On Old Switchback Lane Sending out the word Travellin' away Crow laughs at racing minds We scatter about like the rain Seems forever unchanging Tracks that I've made all my life On Old Switchback Lane On Old Switchback Lane

There's a pounding in my head Steel driving gang Senses edging into red No yin with yang By pale moons I wander Wind and leaves I ponder 'Wrong way!', wish someone said There's a pounding, a pounding, a pounding in my head Kicking about at loose ends Harder to be In places where my mind can mend Oh woe is me It's not through lack of trying Shards and splinters flying Forces I cannot bend I'm kicking about and I'm kicking about at loose ends It's not through lack of trying Shards and splinters flying Forces I cannot bend I'm kicking about and I'm kicking about at loose ends Oh, never the same when it comes together Oh, never the same summits of dreams There's a pounding in my head Steel driving gang Senses edging into red No yin with yang By pale moons I wander Wind and leaves I ponder 'Wrong way!', wish someone said There's a pounding, a pounding, a pounding in my head There's a pounding, a pounding, a pounding in my head There's a pounding, a pounding, a pounding in my head

Shoreline wanderers Moonlight on the rise Earendel memories Like mist in the wild White-haired companions As years roll by Hard ground, stick around Angels by your side And these friends Are like gold Not so many left Now to hold As we grow old Far off gazers So many lonely isles All our drifting sails Paths cross the seas and skies Places leave traces Recalled as a blur Wondered what become of them Of them that were Wondered what become of them Of them that were And these friends Are like gold Not so many left Now to hold As we grow old Shoreline wanderers Moonlight on the rise Shoreline wanderers Moonlight on the rise
