How is it so, that there's gold in them hills
How is it so, that the trees stand so still
How's it so that you fall back
Forever mine, there's time for that
Snow falling up, behold
Crossing winds will load
Slabs of snow and soul
Slabs of snow and soul
Time stands still and runs at the same time
Oceans move in sync with the sky
How could you tell time from the wind
When everyone else tells time from the sun
Snow falling up, behold
Crossing winds will load
Slabs of snow and soul
Slabs of snow and soul
I'll be gone
Watch me
I'll be gone, with the birds that flee
I'll be making tracks in the mountain snow
Leaving a mark, until the next storm
Leaving a mark, until the next storm

tide watching

And I found you sitting down on the docks in the bay
You were singing that song that you loved if it were only yesterday
So tie those sails back on, for the wind's about to change
And I'll be travelling through the dusk ,'til dawn takes me there
Watching the grey skies clear
I'll be watching the grey skies clear
And for, let it be known, I don't know you at all
And oh it ain't so swell, I don't know you at all
And the nightime breeze it blows like it should
I'd sit and watch the tide all night if I could
And sometimes its just true
That the road it is riddled with lies
And I told those old wives tales as they were
Quiet and sad they heard
They were quiet and sad, we heard
And for, let it be known, I don't know you at all
And oh it ain't so swell, I don't know you at all
And for, let it be known, I don't know you at all
And oh it ain't so swell, I don't know you atll

And I taught you how to two-step on a cold December night
In the kitchen and the dogs were barking
And the snow was coming down as you shuffled your feet
And I told you not to look down
And I'll sing a song for you not because I want to
But because I said I would
And I'm one for my word, two for a song, three for a broken heart
And we walked down to the dock, the black ocean below
And the salty breeze it blows
Hand in hand, stars above, oh how was I to know
And I'll sing a song for you, not because I want to
But because I said I would
And I'm one for my word, two for a song, three for a broken heart
And these are the days gone by
You didn't even bother to try
These are they days gone by
Won't you come back soon
And these were the days gone by
You didn't even bother to try
These were the days gone by
Won't you come back soon

Take the road less travelled, take it nice and slow
I'll sing a song for you love, I'll sing it as we go
And the creeks are flowing northbound
But the winds are blowing south
I'll sing a song for you, love
I'll sing it like the truth
And hurry the dogs and wait for haste to find that time of day
And wintery breeze, and all of the things you said, we were at ease
Take the road less travelled
Take it nice and slow
I'll sing a song for you love, I'll sing it as we go
And the creeks are flowing northbound
But the winds are blowing south
I'll sing a song for you, love
I'll sing it like truth
For all of the days when time takes a stand and stills for the quiet dawn
Telling of tales and listening for the cues, knowing they'll be gone
Take the road less travelled, take it nice and slow
I'll sing a song for you, love
I'll sing it as we go
And the creeks are flowing northbound
But the winds are blowing south
I'll sing a song for you, love
I'll sing it like the truth

waltzing on my own time

You had a daughter, and you bought a home
I saw your mother, in my dreaming of late
Her smile broad, her perfume faint
Wearing a gown, sitting at the white clothed table of your brother's wedding
I let go of talking to you, my sweet
I'll be waltzing on my own time
I let go of talking to you, my sweet
I'll be waltzing on my own time
The times are different now
Ghosted footsteps walking inside these four red walls
I said I wished that this would happen to you
But now I take it back
I let go of talking to you, my sweet
I'll be waltzing on my own time
I let go of talking to you, my sweet
I'll be waltzing on my own time
You paid me a visit in my dreams last night
You wished you had all the things that I have
And so it went, back and forth
Until I left
And you stood there with a tear in your eye
I stood there and watched you cry
And you stood there with a tear in your eye
I stood there and watched you cry
