Halloween

Skip work
Skip stones
Upon a great lake
Walk home
Buy beer
End of another day
Fast forward a year
It’s halloween again
Dressed up all new
Still the same demons
Haunting
The ghosts of all things
Whatever
And I’ll sing
In ways to know you
The better
Cold air
And there’s
A stranger in my town
Not you
But me
And what I drag around
Fast forward a year
It’s halloween again
The street is still
And still it’s always been
Haunting
The ghosts of all things
Whatever
And I’ll sing
In ways to know you
The better
There’s a part of my town
Where the trains go over the water
There’s a part of myself
That I don’t think I can return to
There’s a part of my town
Where the trains go over the water
There’s a part of myself
That I don’t think I can return to

3am on Monday morning
Have I had this dream before?
Cathedral skies open up from
Sheetrock walls and hardwood floors
Let me out where the wild birds roam
Shapeless landscapes I call home
Follow ‘em ‘round the riverbend
Lookin’ for a new place to rest my head
Then & now come together
To form the street beneath the sky
Somewhere all the bluebirds gather
Out beyond the power lines
Let me out where the wildflowers grow
Lilies & roses & cardinals
Follow ‘em ‘round the riverbend
I’m livin’ out love in a strangers land
And I belong
With the flowers
And bluebirds, honey
In the open arms
Of the sunlight
And the rivers runnin’
Let me out where the wildbirds roam
Cause I got some place on my mind
I got some place on my mind
Let me out where the wildflowers grow

Meadowlark
Joshua Tree National Park
I drove through the dark
To make my way back to
Wherever you are
Cause I don’t wanna sleep alone tonight
And it’s 20 miles to go
To the border of New Mexico
I wanna wake up in the midafternoon
With nothing on my mind
And you there
And a lot of nothing to do
Battered bark
Your name, my name hand-carved hearts
We left our mark
Before we grew
Miles apart
Cause I don’t wanna sleep alone tonight
And it’s 20 miles to go
Gas tank & the sun are getting low
I wanna wake up in the midafternoon
With nothing on my mind
And you there
And a lot of nothing to do
And it’s 20 miles to go
Just the moon & stars to guide me home

You’re coming home in a week
Not for good, but just visiting
This weekend’s lookin’ like rain
And you’re staring sunbeams at me
I wanna go wherever you’re going
I wanna go wherever you’re–
Leaving again in a day
Streetside as you pull away
Driving through bramble and bone
Making your way ‘cross the state
I wanna go wherever you’re going
I wanna go wherever you are
Time starts to slip through my fingers
And you’re driving on through the dark
And I don’t know what the hell I was thinkin’
I wanna go wherever you’re going
I wanna go wherever you are
While you’re on your way to the city
Dawn breaks in my empty backyard

Outro

Can’t get the grass to grow
Sun, it won’t show
I’m making something out of nothing
On the dark side of my lawn
Remind the neighborhood
I don’t belong
I don’t belong
Can’t get myself to sleep
Third time this week
I’m kicking pebbles down the driveway
In the low light of the dawn
Remind the neighborhood
I don’t belong
I don’t belong
