Stories From The Moon

One day I'll come home and you'll be sitting here
It'll be the way it was before you disappeared
We'll share a cup of coffee, go about our days
Well I can dream anyways
I've tried to take this all in stride and do the right thing
Live with a thorn in my side and ignore the sting
Talk about the weather, anything but you
It's all I can do
It's six o'clock and the sun's coming up
Red and crimson gold
And before it heads back down again
We'll both be another day old
Birds don't know the difference
As they fly out of view
That you flew out, too
---
---
Coffee grounds and mockingbird down
Underneath my boots
Sunshine and vitamins
And gnarled cedar roots
Nature's greatest paintings
And stories from the moon
Can't replace you

When someone is gone
You've gotta move on
Don't lose your stride
Just cause they're not at your side
Doesn't mean you stop
When something ain't right
Don't cry in the night
Don't dwell on the fears
You Built up over years
Don't hate yourself
For something you can't control
When you're out on the floor
And your partner's no more
Well all you can do is lace up your shoes
And stand up and dance
Being alone isn't so bad
Cause it's up to you to be happy or sad
It's up to you to stand up and dance
Sometimes folks will leave us too soon
Sometimes it snows in May and June
Through it all don't lose the love in your heart
Life has its own plans
It's out of your hands
Show love for all those
Who are both friends and foes
Take someone's hand and stand up and dance

Unsuspecting Places

Sometimes beauty comes from unsuspecting places
Sometimes happiness hides in tears
Sometimes love is lost in old, familiar faces
Somehow I still love you after all of these years
When you lose all your belongings
And you’re treated unfairly unkind
Hold on tight to the wisdom you know
And I'll share with you my peace of mind
Sometimes the handle’s too crooked to hold
And some days the warmth of the world goes cold
Some days you're left with all you were born with
I'll love you just like we'll never grow old
When sleep won't come in the morning
And you fight to keep it inside
You're still in control of all that you need
And no strong men have anything to hide
Sometimes beauty comes from unsuspecting places
Sometimes happiness hides in tears
Sometimes love is lost in old, familiar faces
Somehow I still love you after all of these years

In boots of brown he circles around
A body laying still on the ground
He kneels down to see if the poor soul still breathes
But he doesn't hear a sound
What can you do when you're faced with the truth
You can't tell me it'll all be okay
Where can you run when you're framed with a gun
And the people will surely want blood
The deed's been done but he wasn't the one
To take this unfortunate son
His eyes tell his grief there's scorn in his teeth
Truth be damned, they'll still have him hung
What can you do when you're faced with the truth
You can't tell me it'll all be okay
Where can you run when you're framed with a gun
And the people will surely want blood
Run, run, run, run in the sting of the sun
Run, run all day
Run, run, run, run, your life's come undone
You still can't run fast enough away
So run fast to her, it's more than allure
She's your only saving grace
Sing your true song cause you can't sing for long
And remember the lines on her face
He runs to the woman who knows his good name
While the sheriff takes his aim
He falls in her arms; she hides her alarm
The papers have given him fame
What can you do when you're faced with the truth
You can't tell me it'll all be okay
Where can you run when you're framed with a gun
And the people will surely want blood
Run, run, run, run in the deafening night
Run, til your legs give way
Run, run, run, run for your life
Run so you'll see the next day
Eighteen miles West tattooed on his chest
I'll love you til my dying day
Face down in the grass they found him at last
Just one girl remembered his name
Just one girl remembered his name

No second chances; can’t take it back again
All those letters--the ones I’ll never send
You spend your life just trying to survive
Those nights in Portland; endless hotel beds
Work all day; the cycle never ends
What does it mean? Will it matter when I’m dead?
Will it matter when I’m dead?
All my stories--the way I tell them
Was I kind? Was I truthful?
Did I love without fear?
How will it end? I’ll have to die someday.
Will you be here? Will you be far away?
In the end, will it matter when I’m dead?
Will it matter when I’m dead?
When the earth is over--when there’s nothing left of us
Will it have mattered when we chose to drink and cuss?
Will our lives be written in the stars?
No second chances; can’t take it back again
If nothing else, I hope that we stay friends
When I’m gone, will I matter in the end?
Will it matter when I’m dead?
