Lyrics

+ Pale Moon

(Shannon McNally)

Oh I'd like to find myself

Trapped in some desert town with you

Just me and you

My long black hair waving in the drive-in

Me waving at you, my lover

From some ancient balcony

But like a

First division i see you

And your gone

Way out could id run to

Come back

Come back

Come back

But you're

Gone california

And it's just my fate

Making me blue

Why else would i see you

Today

But im not in some desert town

And you're not there with me

Im underground in NYC

The city of perpetual motion

The city that never sleeps

Thats alright, i wasn't tired anyways

I was so close getting clear

Thought i had nothing to fear

You'd be on a plane

And you'd be gone

And it would be done

But there are

18 million people in this town

Who spend the day

Bummin' around

Just to bump into you

On third avenue

Yeah

And its a

Pale moon

Burning sun

When will i see my only one

Pale moon

Burning sun

When will i see my only one

Well i think it's unbelievable

I think it's incredible

It's magical

It's tragic

But i know we'll meet again someday

And we'll be very far away

And i'll know you

And you'll know me

And we're gonna both agree

That we belong together

We belong together

We belong together

We belong together

We belong together

We belong together

Cause it's a pale moon

Burning sun

When will i see my only one

Pale moon

Burning sun

When will i see my only one

Yeah

Yeah

Oh

Oh i'd like to find myself

Trapped in some desert town with you

Just me and you

Just me and you

+ Fierce Little Bird

(Neal Casal)

Well you’re fierce little bird

And you can’t settle down

Despite all your trying

You haven’t told me a word

Of all that you’ve found

Since you started flying

You couldn’t get out of here fast enough

And who am I not to wish you nothing but luck

You’ve got a long way to go

Longer than most

And for that I am sorry

I know it wasn’t your fault How were you to know

How all this got started

You never were like the rest anyway

And who am I not to think that you won’t find your way

I steer clear of confusion

Caused by people too well trusted

With each new year comes illusion

And dreams that leave you disenchanted

Well you’re a sweet little girl

I’ll tell ya now

You’re askin for trouble

Cause it’s such a cruel world

And if you don’t watch out

They’re all gonna find ya

But you can’t get out of here fast enough

And who am I not to wish you nothing but luck

Oh nothin but luck

+ John Finch / Swing Me Easy

Hang down John Finch

Hang down and cry

Hang down John Finch

Hang down and cry

There’s an angry crowd outside

You’re askin no questions and takin no names

They’re askin no questions and takin no names

Ring around the roses

Pocket full of flames

And I thought I would die as I was born

Craddled in a blue grass Kentucky mourn

But here I stand tried and foregone

Tried and foregone

Yeah yeah yeah

Say the man I didn’t drove a car and ran on pure lighning

Say the man I didn’t drove a car and ran on pure lighning

They took me out the back of an old four door

Right about now he’ll be crossin west texas line

Right about now he’ll be crossin west texas line

He’ll be ridin solo

Your noose is hangin right next to mine

And I thought I would die as I was born

Craddled in a blue grass Kentucky mourn

But here I stand tried and foregone

Tried and foregone

Yeah yeah yeah

Listen John Finch

Aren’t they loud

Listen John Finch

Aren’t they loud

Tell the truth have you ever heard

Anything as loud as that crowd

Swing me easy baby, rock gently

Buzz on by my honey bee

Swing me easy baby, rock gently

Buzz on by my dragonfly

Wings fly faster than the eye can see

Like a tiny engine on a stabbord sign

Flyin through the sky

Sailing through the sea

Will you remember me

Sayin will you remember me

Flowers on the hillside bloomin wild

So I know I prefer it in the air

Sailin on a sweet smellin breeze

It must be nice up there

Sayin it must be nice up there

But don’t go just yet

Say flutter around my empty net

I’ll love you for a moment but then i’ll let you go

Won’t be selfish cause I know you’ve got to go

Right now right now Yeah yeah

Oh right now oh-woah

Oh right now right now Yeah yeah

Just one more time before you make me lonesome

Just before you make me cry

Won’t ya please

Swing me easy baby, rock gently

Buzz on by my honey bee

Swing me easy baby, rock gently

Buzz on by my dragonfly

+ In My Mind

(Neal Casal)

In my mind you would come and see me

In my mind you’d be looking fine

In my mind, Baby in my mind

In my mind there would be no such thing as leaving

In my mind you’d be here all the time

In my mind, baby in my mind

I tried to tell myself that it’s alright

I couldn’t leave here if I tried

The world is waiting and she’s just outside

But I’ve got nothing but time

In my mind you would still believe me

In my mind I’d never tell a lie

In my mind, baby in my mind

I tried to tell myself that it’s alright

But I deserve to do my time My woman’s waiting and she’s just outside

I couldn’t leave here if I tried If I tried

In my mind everything is easy

In my mind i’d leave this life behind

In my mind, baby in my mind

In my mind, baby in my mind

In my mind, baby in my mind

In my mind

+ Brings Me Back to You

(Shannon McNally / Neal Casal)

Sometimes orange’s aren’t sweet

Sometime’s the sun’s not golden

Apples red in an orchard

Always cast my hazel eyes down

Oh it brings me back to you

Oh it bring me back to you

We ate mussles from the sea

Cooked in butter and steam

Washed it down with cold brown beer

Then we fell asleep

Woah it brings me back to you

Woah it brings me back to you

Couple days in thistle

Sudden be silence

Granite walls and waterfalls

That won’t flow until the thaw

Woah it brings me back to you

Woah it brings me back to you

Yes, it brings me back
