Every time you think you know How to spend time on the road An artful codger gets your soul And shows you her humble abode One weary cloud Rains upside down Side with the sky Find common ground Everything you do time follows you Less you can find A new point of view You can take a piece of everyone you meet Always be complete even when it feels hazy Tag along with me, we’ll be carefree After all it seems you’ve been going through it lately Every time you think you know How to spend time on the road An artful codger gets your soul And shows you her humble abode I found a message for you in a bottle Only time will tell how much you'll wallow

Global Joke 03:52
City life has got the best of you Take the country for a spin Found and lost in a concrete jungle gym Since I can't remember when Land retreats and leaves roots Nature always wins Rainforests are see through Consequence of our sin The sea ice melts just like popsicles All part of a global joke Any plan is so impossible Like looking for a joint you just smoked Invisible and whimsical it's seasonal Invisible and whimsical, just regional Land retreats and leaves roots Nature always wins Rainforests are see through Consequence of our sin

You will always be a part of me When you exhale one last breath You will always be inside of me When you've gone away Physical form is just a sliver of it all The eye through which the world perceives itself Life and death are one one in the same Two sides of the same coin No yin without yang You will always be a part of me When you exhale a final breath You will always be inside of me When you've gone away You will always be The soul knows no limits The soul knows no limits The soul knows no limits You will always be

Life at Dawn 00:48
Follow the deer's footsteps through the woodland at dawn The sun plays peekaboo over a horizon of purple mountains Every drop of dew gives way to a new day A new opportunity for a stroke of genius We've got all the time in the world But at the same time, time is of the essence Life is not out to get you, you're out to get life

Help me find a way Back to where we came from Handwrite me a list Of what I should abstain from Help me find a way Back to where we came from I'll follow step by step In sync with the bass drum I know when the sun goes down you'll find me In my favorite spot down by the shore I'll be there till the sun's tired of rising And the moon doesn't pull the tides no more Help me find a way Back to where we came from Handwrite me a list Of what I should abstain from Help me find a way Back to where we came from I'll follow step by step In sync with the bass drum Take some time away Go back where you came from And where you've never been To have no obligation Take some time away Go back where you came from Now you can begin To thank what you'll escape from Help me find a way Back to where we came from Handwrite me a list Of what I should abstain from Help me find a way Back to where we came from I'll follow step by step In sync with the bass drum

I can see you Gazing back into the past Future you is tracing time on leatherback I can see you And your honest eyes at last Future you is bending time and losing track Take a piece of everyone you meet Save em in your jean jacket pocket Give away your love and expertise Don't you walk the walk but not talk it Nice to meet you Though I could be mistaken I'll believe you When I see your face again Nice to meet you Though I could be breaking in I'll believe you When the cop car chase begins Take a piece of everyone you meet Save em in your jean jacket pocket Give away your love and expertise Don't you walk the walk but not talk it Take a minute to look around I think you might just find it See what all this is about You had it all along but you were blinded Take a piece of everyone you meet Save em in your jean jacket pocket Give away your love and expertise Don't you walk the walk but not talk it
