These dreams that you have made a crochet hooks And our hopes are pulled tight in embroidery hoops And displayed in the halls that we walk To show us how far still that we have got We can never quit, never grow old We are young are we are lithe and we are gold Are we gold? We are golden In this house that we have built of ceramic cups, 7-inch sleeves and part-time jobs We go home and try to pull out the sheets From under the thumb of all this conformity Shake the legs and the blood will flow We have still got to fight, got to show That we know We are not broken We'll leave everything that we don't need in a box On the side of the road with markings on top Stating this is free for anyone to take Because we've got stories to tell, we've got music to make Speak the words and the soul will grow We are young and we are right and we are bold We are gold We are Golden

Sleep (free) 03:11
Where do numbers go when they have been subracted? Where do you thoughts go when you are distracted? Maybe they fell between the wall and the bed Maybe the line between the living and the dead Don't worry dear, things in life will work out It's the dying I'd be worried about Where do dreams go when you are awoken? Where do your words go when they are left unspoken? Baby, why don't you just come back to bed? Stop all those gears going 'round in your head Don't worry dear, things in life will work out It's the worrying I'd be worried about
3.
I've come a long way, gal You've come a long way, sir So take my hand We'll beat a path I'll see you home I brought you no flowers They'd die in a few hours Let's go the long way By the old bank I'll take you home So here we are now Does the night have to end now If I let you in I'll be a gentleman I'll walk you home So take my hand We'll beat a path I'll walk you home

Rick Danko 02:13
Don't get the wrong idea, that voice has carried me for miles Hat and cane, out in the rain, no umbrellas are used here He came from a town, so small, I'd never heard of it before Rick Danko on the radio always calmed mama down He's just a farmers son
5.
These lamps, these lights, throw rocks up till they strike and glass comes raining down on Clover Street As dark as tar, except for a passing car It just takes a while for your eyes to dilate Slowly front doors open And people walked out on their front lawns And lay down on there backs and they saw... These lamps, these lights are turned off for the night The city just can't afford them anymore Those stars, those lines drawn by fingers so fine Tracing the path of that Big Dipper
6.
Oceans 03:05
You were calling me all hours of the night Don't you know I'm on Greenwich Mean Time? There were oceans, Betty In your voice I can hear a doubt Like your words are leaving something out There were oceans, Betty There was nothing that you or I could do If I could be there I would so soon I'd ride a whale or a hot air balloon There were oceans, Betty Sometimes I don't think you give a damn Lying there in some foreign land There were oceans, Betty There was nothing that you or I could do
7.
The trailers that you've driven past Down on Magazine With their trampolines Missing almost every spring And every son breathes for it's his nature The smoke, the heat The cough that wakes him When he lies on top of the sheets An ice cream truck Driving down that ol' gravel road With a cloud of dust And half-naked kids on bikes in tow And every daughter hears the sounds that made her The cries, the blood The pleading cicadas Filling her ears till the sun abates her
8.
Ghosts 03:13
On most evenings I can fight you off with a drink And lately I've been watching so much TV But there's winter nights when I shiver under the sheets Wondering how I got so lonely That's when the ghosts come around Help me lord lift up these heavy stones And give the answers that we've all been waiting for Is there a place after this as we all hope Or does this finish at the end of the road
9.
Hell is not the place that you've been thinking of Trying something more like the home you lived in when you were young And you believed that things happened for a reason So you knew no better, you were so young My Child I know, I know your kind, I know you well, I know you Oh, Child I knew your Mom and I know that she wouldn't approve of those things you've got going on A plan made in haste but you are here so you might as well follow through with it you've got nothing to lose And you believe the world owes you so you leave the truck running for an easy getaway Child, yes I know, It's a sad, sad thing but we all must go. Just accept it. Oh, Child, I knew your Mom. What a lovely soul, she loved you so, oh that I could tell Child yes I know, I know your kind, I know you well, I know you Oh, Child I knew your Mom and I know that she wouldn't approve of those things you've got going on

Brick Layer 04:16
Hello ladies, I'm a fence builder. Do you need a fence? Yes, now Father, I'm a hell-raiser and I can raise some hell! ...and some heaven as well. Excuse me, Gentlemen, If I can have your attention, I demand some respect! Yes, now lover, I'm a Brick Layer. Do you need somewhere to live? Someone to grow old with? To take care of you when you're sick? Be the one thing that I need.

about

This album is a love song to where we live, a remembrance of where we've been and a structure to store things to come. Here is where we imprison our ghosts and we launch our futures.
