Sun comes up like a yellow bus Tracking over the oceans of dust One day's miracle is another day's rut Day keeps breaking like it always does I'm not a loner, no sack-cloth and ashes Just a heart on a tether with a vagabond mind But this will be a broke...

Hasn't he always wanted a friend To stick close beside him through thick and through thin And through all that encompasses those born again Hasn't he always needed a friend To help tend his wounds in the war against sin And encourage him daily each battl...

Little child, weary eyes Wet from weeping still your cries In your fright know this night is day in dark disguise Though the darkness brings alarm You're still resting in My arms Do not weep - simply sleep You'll escape from harm Close your eyes, litt...

She gets his letter and she reads it well With tears on her face He says he's leaving her but he feels no disgrace He can't pity her while he pities himself Living in the age of the broken heart In the age of the broken heart We take it so hard We driv...

Lord, what can I say to You That's not been said in times past I see You darkly through a glass again And I can't think of no way new To sing about Your kindness When hymns are prayers You hear the last "Amen" Jesus, Precious Savior I have prayed it al...

When civilization takes a nasty turn And concepts are hushed when books are burned All is not lost, all is not lost When swine are the ones who steal the pearls From the human oysters of the western world All is not lost, all is not lost Truth lives on,...

He tried to open her eyes to the big wide world He was teaching her feelings that can't be taught Between his art museums and his politics He left her somewhere in a tangled thought And when he calls she don't answer When he comes 'round she's not home...

All the sleepless dreamers Dream their visions of no renown All tomorrow's unforeseen And time is a-running down Cast away the tether lines And take to the boundaries main Different horizons all the time Identical, just the same Can the loner stand a...

Red ball of sun Falters until it's out of reach
 Head in my hand Stranded on some deserted beach
 Starlight brushes my shoulder 
Tonight I'm suddenly older All too soon Summer is over
 All too soon the planet is colder 
All too soon heartbeats are slo...

Pray for the foothills Home to the drone of Power lines and rock doves Mountains grey as velvet Field for dots of yucca White and jacarandas Facing the sky As the day burns away Is a desert in mourning Sheltering the dead stones Cradle of the lost bones Home o...

Darling, when I was your age
 I could do anything
 There were days of rock 'n roll 
And lunar strolls and friendship rings
 And baby I told myself
 I'd follow my deepest dreams 
Knowing if I did my best 
Success would always follow me It was another g...

Appalachian melody drifting softly down Instruments of gold and red and brown Do not need no dulcimer or banjo-fiddle sound For right now I'll watch these leaves come down How peculiar liking old dead leaves against the sky There is something more than m...

They cast their visions in black and white In the old times And all those faces And all those lines got to me I've got to see how it ends And I'm Awake in the nighttime Awake in the nighttime Lost in a lifetime It was a love to end all bogus devotio...

I know promises thought and spoken Some are kept and some are broken Some are sprouts the weeds are choking Left alone to die There are those whose hope is taken There are those whose hearts are breaking Surely I am not mistaken I can hear the cry Ble...

Nothing I would rather do Than laugh a laugh with brown-eyed Sue No place I would rather be Than where I am when she's with me Oh, yes I do Love gives love replies And words are in your eyes No place I would rather be Than where I am when she's with m...

Many years I've been looking for a place to call home But I've failed here to find it, so I must travel on I don't care for fine mansions on earth's sinking sand Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land Yes, build me just a cabin in the corner o...

You were in the right and I was the fool I'm just not too bright as a general rule So have some compassion I'm not what you see Not even a fool like me Well I had it coming but I couldn't have known I paid no attention to the goings on And a sad situati...

When we fill our minds with garbage From the tubes and profs and books It's no wonder we hate others When they give us dirty looks When we spend our days conniving How to satisfy our greed It's no wonder we feel clammy When we see the Saviour bleed Ca...

Billy is a man who let care slip from his clutch He stares with the eyes of a man who's seen too much His capital's gone, his dues are unpaid His heart is surrounded with a barricade He knows you don't need to be conscientious At a masquerade And he can...

You've come a-walking With a scar on your soul Taking too much too lightly It is no wonder That you're feeling so cold Shivering so politely Castaway, castaway You can find your way Castaway, castaway It will be okay You stand a-looking With a hurt in your e...
