Superstar? 05:28
lyrics
buy track
I see a world go by again Excess and wealth so undeserved As if they think Think that they're immune to everything Looking down from the hilltop haze Never seen better days So we lap up what they give They're the superstar Tell you what is right and what is wrong As they prance around in a purple thong Can't tell you why Why what you think and know is wrong Oh look! A washed-up celebrity Never seems she meant that much to me "It's not what you'll do It's what have you done for me lately?"

Great Blue Sky 04:42
lyrics
buy track
I see the world drift fast past my eye The great Black River flows right on by Seasons change summer cools to fall The big old sun shines down on it all As if the river knew which way to go Swirling currents force the salmon flow I've seen it with my eyes - this world and the sky Gaze around the forest in a dream The cedar floor sprouts mushrooms near a stream Deep inside I feel I know my way Clear is the sky on a bright autumn day As if the river knew which way to go Swirling currents force the salmon flow I've seen it with my eyes - this world and the sky The Great Blue Sky

Sword in Hand 02:22
lyrics
buy track
Walking down that road again Wondering where to go Something real and firm again Maybe just for show Maybe just for show Back to the days when the world was young So young Back to a time when all the trials and tribulations Were dealt with a sword in your hand I don't want to realize Where this all will lead A great big flood to wash away Humans shall recede Humans shall recede

Life and Everything 02:24
lyrics
buy track
Looking outward to the world Knowing it is real Keeping up with the speed of time Hoping I can feel Love is the answer To all the questions Of life and everything To some the answer is forty-two But I think there's more No matter how you play the game There really is no score Love is the answer To all the questions Of life and everything Think of times that have gone by Remembering the fun A never ending kaleidoscope Looking for the sun

In The Sky 04:54
lyrics
buy track
Don't know where to begin Maybe this starts at the end A mystery passed down through all time Part of nature's grand design Something is flying high in the sky Many have seen them go by I want to believe - but then, some would heed Hidden the proof that we need Late at night - 3 A.M. Strangeness on it's way again Take me away for experiment Didn't even know that I had went Something is flying high in the sky Many have seen them go by I want to believe - but then, some would heed Hidden the proof that we need A mystery passed down through all time Part of nature's grand design

Come Up Short 02:46
lyrics
buy track
We seem to live out lives of which We were not going for Seemingly lost at sea and looking for A friendly port We ponder everything And still we seem to come up short Won't find out all the answers In just one day or lifetimes play But still the joker laughs and Plays his cards out in dismay It freaked out everyone So once again we come up short Looking forward to the end They say the grass is greener But we can't see the other side Forced into falling for the little things That keep us bored As if it is the best thing in our lives We've never seen before We forget everything That's why we always come up short

Big Betsy 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Big Betsy drive me out of my mind (Does that to me all the time) Big Betsy is a friend of mine (Never could leave her behind) I know it's something that may sound strange (Never seen a brain more deranged) On second thought there was that time (Never mind that story ain't right) She has me thinking on life And all the things not right It's something we must fight Big Betsy is a brutal girl (She's a modern day hippie queen) She has a thirst - she has a blast (Moves real slow to make it last) Not a beauty but that's okay (Gets her rocks off anyway) Plays a guitar that's out of whack (Drives a sixty-six Pontiac)

Life and Love 04:52
lyrics
buy track
I just can't wait to see you Though I know it's late Everyone knows the feeling Love won't hesitate Knowing the feeling - hoping it's real Stealing away from this life See the world flowing into my eyes And then filling my mind with The wonders of life and love Reaching outward for a moment Hoping it will last A time and space for every heartbeat Life goes by so fast

Darkness For An Age (Dulcimer Song of War) 05:00
lyrics
buy track
Looking outward to lost years darkness for an age Violence distilled with fear and weakness must engage Pushing within ranks to the banks of Gods Eye Flashing blades - blooded shields - a shrill battle cry Warlords on the march Fear within all hearts Dying on the field The brave never yield Treading lightly, singing softly in the morning light Finding solace - after a journey through the dead of night A lightning crash, a blinding flash a storm unveils its fate Before it's done and will is gone fighting shall abate As evening creeps, a baby weeps a mother tends her son Supple starlight, crooked moonlight a father comes undone
