Let It Fly 03:54
I hope I never see Who you'd rather be Walking around here wearing your clothes Or in the morning gold When it's still cold Do you remember where we stood? When we fell with shoes untied Up there bathed in city light Your heart on my chest My lips on your neck It smelled like pinecones and your shampoo And we could speak Shirt to cheek It wasn't complicated But then I said too much I said too much People like to talk About forever As if to act out some cliche But you and I Can just let it fly We don't need to think that far in advance I know things change If we let evaporate Those few words still in the way And oh, if you fall out of love  Sinking like an injured dove I'll still catch you on the ground In these arms, you're lost and found
3.
Ohio 03:14
The muddy clay And the folky way The banjo plays The nights that we spent pillowless In a room without a roof The only truth And that fleeting moment stairwell kiss My, oh my My mountains and sky While the cold wind blows In Ohio My, oh my My mountains and sky While the cold wind blows In Ohio The forest path  We walked around That tiny little eyelash sound Our arbitrary toothpaste wars The way you make me so unsure My, oh my My mountains and sky While the cold wind blows In Ohio My, oh my My mountains and sky While the cold wind blows In Ohio If you still can't leave things unexplained Then just abstain Put your head to rest my dear Loosen your own chains Loosen your own chain

Just A Kid 03:15
Years ago We would sit by the lake And talk Just to fill the space Light filled the waves And I didn't have to choose Which me  To be For you Fires swim along the path Going home at last A wayfaring soul With nothing to hold But old words A letter from you Don't be cross And if you feel lost Know that peace is inside Promises made  On a day by the lake May slow But never will die Fires swim along the path Going home at last A wayfaring soul With nothing to sing But a song Written for you Some things, these days Find it hard to stay Like our hearts Which gave us away But I never knew My life fit in a suitcase Just a kid, missing you Just a kid, missing you
5.
Maybe 02:49
Maybe the seas will rise And we'll all drown Maybe the plants will die And we'll all starve Maybe we'll stay inside And turn up the AC When it's too damn hot for February Too damn hot for February Too damn hot for February

7.
I remember cops and robbers and our bicycles and When you told me you thought you could talk to animals I remember dirty dishes in the sink And watching drying ink I remember when you broke your arm and when it healed and When we took her lucky charm and when you squealed I remember dirty dishes in the sink And watching drying ink I remember all the lawyers with their useless words and All the times I wished that I was just a bird I remember photographs of another time When cops and robbers ruled the world I remember when you told me she had died and when we Sat around and when I couldn’t cry and when you Tried to wash the dirty dishes in the sink I remember drying ink
8.
You got a call on the phone And when you got home You were already crying You told me she was dying Faster than the rest of us Faster than the rest of us Faster than the rest of us Picturing her smiling face Trying not to let it fade But she ain't even gone yet No, she ain't even gone Death is hard for the ones who survive But death reminds us to be alive She didn’t fight it when it arrived Aha

God Knows 04:35
God knows Oh, God knows God knows I suppose Did carrot steam rise through the air As a sullen cook sat in her chair Tending the stove of the debonair Lords of Château de Montaner? God knows Oh, God knows God knows I suppose Do ants' nostrils cool with the breath On the leaves of the trees in Bangladesh As a rose takes wind near Budapest And flies from the best man's vest? Did a starry wind shape the earth And catalyze the first cell's birth? Are there crinkled towns inside this ground, And shreds of air within this sound? And isn't God more than a pronoun? She, He, They, She, He, He, Us, Them God knows Oh, God knows God knows I suppose God knows Oh, God knows God knows I suppose I suppose

Transience 03:41
The future's inconceivable The past is irretrievable And the present just won't stay

Mint machines coining Oh, what an elegant conjoining! But have they a future? Please, think about it now Quiet in the library!! Shouted the apothecary Coke please, no Pepsi That is the trick for Baron Kelsey But where will the moon go? Please, think about it now Love Be in love Be in love A hand moves, unsteady Holding a fork of twirled spaghetti But where has the sauce gone? Please, think about it now Let's ask the yeti What a wonderful confetti party He threw for Bigfoot last night Love Be in love Be in love If that's what you like the feeling of Love Be in love Be in love Wears long-stemmed glasses Swims through a sea of cold molasses An autodidact Who takes an inordinate amount of classes Has he real knowledge? Please, think about it now *BREAK IT DOWN* Danish confections Oh, what a delicate perfection! But won't they be eaten? Please, think about it now Crest please, no Colgate Open the larger bubble floodgate!! Down through the sinkhole A bubbly stream will pass Oh, my sweet Horton Hero of sizable proportions Where have their hearts gone? And can love really be wrong? If I'm sure of its centrality, Must I ponder its legality? If I'm sure of its finality, Must I ponder its legality? If I'm sure of its morality, Must I ponder its legality? And where have their hearts gone? And can love really be wrong? If I'm sure of its morality, Must I ponder its legality? And where have our hearts gone? And might love be wrong?

Cuban Chevy 07:13

about

Cuban Chevy is an album in two halves: the first explores the realm of Americana/Folk, with sweet songs that call to mind the Milk Carton Kids and James Taylor. The second half is more experimental, exploring Hard Rock, Reggae, Latin, Funk, and Indian styles.
