Red squirrel in the morning
Red squirrel in the evening Red squirrel in the morning I'm comin to take you home. Sun, I see you Over the hill In the morning window Hold me dear Into the night Sun, it will rise soon enough Sun rising Dangling there Golden and fair In the sky |

I was following the pack,
All swallowed in their coats With scarves of red tied 'round their throats To keep their little heads From fallin' in the snow And I turned 'round and there you go. And, Michael, you would fall, And turn the white snow Red as strawberries in the summertime. |

Whoa-oh-oh
Come down from the mountain, you have been gone too long The spring is upon us, follow my only song Settle down with me by the fire of my yearning You should come back home, back on your own now The world is alive now, in and outside our home You run through the forest, settle before the sun Darling, I can barely remember you beside me You should come back home, back on your own now And even in the light, when the woman of the woods came by To give to you the word of the old man In the morning tide when the sparrow and the seagull fly And Johnathan and Evelyn get tired Lie to me if you will at the top of Beringer Hill Tell me anything you want, any old lie will do Call me back to you Back to you |

Wanderers this morning came by
Where did they go Graceful in the morning light To banner fair To follow you softly In the cold mountain air Through the forest Down to your grave Where the birds wait And the tall grasses wave They do not know you anymore Dear shadow alive and well How can the body die You tell me everything Anything true In the town one morning I went Staggering through premonitions of my death I don't see anybody that dear to me Dear shadow alive and well How can the body die You tell me everything Anything true Jesse I don't know what I have done I'm turning myself to a demon I don't know what I have done I'm turning myself to a demon |

> Penniless and tired, with your hair grown long
I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong Memory is a fickle siren song I didn't understand In the gentle light as the morning nears You don't say a single word of your last two years Well you will be, you've reached the frontier I didn't understand, no See your rugged hands and a silver knife Twenty dollars in your hand makes you hold so tight All the evidence of your vacant life My brother you were born And you will try to do what you did before Pull the wool over your eyes For a week or more Let your family take you back to your original mind There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can say There's nothing I can say I can say |

She left a week to roam Your protector's coming home Keep your secrets with you Safe from the outside You walk along the stream Your head caught in a waking dream Your protector's coming home (coming home) As you lay tonight beside me, baby on the morn, in the jute cane, Would you wait for me, The other one, Would you wait for me? (2x) You run with the devil (2x) Ooh ooh ooh... Tell your brother to be good Tell your sister not to go Tell your mother not to wait Tell your father I was good As you lay tonight beside me, baby on the morn, in the jute cane, Would you wait for me, The other one, Would you wait for me? Ooh ooh ooh... |

Meadowlark, fly your way down.
I hold a cornucopia and a golden crown For you to wear upon your fleecy down. My meadowlark, sing to me. Hummingbird, just let me die Inside the broken ovals of your olive eye. I do believe you gave it your best try. My hummingbird, sing to me. My hummingbird, sing to me. Don't believe a word that I haven't heard. Little children laughing at the boys and girls. The meadowlark singing to you each and every day. The arc light on the hillside and the market in the hay. |

Lie down with me my dear
Lie down Under stormy night, tell nobody My brother, where do you intend to go tonight? I heard that you missed your connecting flight To the Blue Ridge Mountains, over near Tennessee You're ever welcome with me any time you like Let's drive to the countryside, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes So no one gets worried, no So no one gets worried, no But Sean, don't get careless I'm sure it'll be fine I love you, I love you Oh brother of mine In the quivering forest Where the shivering dog rests Our good grandfather Built a wooden nest And the river got frozen And the home got snowed in And the yellow moon glowed bright Till the morning light Terrible am I child? Even if you don't mind In the quivering forest Where the shivering dog rests Our good grandfather Built a wooden nest And the river got frozen And the home got snowed in And the yellow moon glowed bright Till the morning light Terrible am I child? Even if you don't mind No |

On the way to your brother's house in the valley, dear,
By the river bridge a cradle floating beside me. In the whitest water on the banks against the stone You will lift his body from the shore and bring him home Oliver James washed in the rain no longer Oliver James washed in the rain no longer On the kitchen table that your grandfather did make You and your delicate way will slowly clean his fate And you will remember when you rehearsed the actions of A innocent and anxious mother full of anxious love Oliver James washed in the rain no longer Oliver James washed in the rain no longer Walk with me down the beach and through the valley floor Love for the one you know more Love for the one you know more Back we go to your brother's house emptier my dear The sound of ancient voices ringing soft upon your ear Oliver James washed in the rain no longer Oliver James washed in the rain no longer |

The door slam loud and rows up a cloud of dust on us Footsteps follow, down through the hollow sound, torn up
And you will go to Mykonos With a vision of a gentle coast And a sun to maybe dissipate Shadows of the mess you made How did any holes in the snow tipped pines, I find Hatching from the seed of your thin mind, all right? And you will go to Mykonos With a vision of a gentle coast And a sun to maybe dissipate Shadows of the mess you made Brother you don't meed to turn me away I was waiting down at the ancient gate You go Wherever you go today You go today I remember how they took you down As the winter turned the meadow brown You go Wherever you go today You go today When I walking brother don't you forget It ain't often you'll ever find a friend You go wherever you go today You go today [x8] |
