Seed 03:31
Burrow sink deep as a seed And grow even in the driest and thirstiest phase Not even feel alive, sometimes And love cross me never in my heart Grow tired like the tangles and the dull wrangling Go home go home, you have been gone to long. I know I am well hidden in myself You can fall down like snow Or like water You can run, and flow Flow through the space Between the people you meet Can move just like smoke And rise up through the street And though I’ve moved far and long I know I ‘aint seen much Don’t go What a long face you’ve grown.

Flow 07:00
I am flow, Young and strong I am wrecking ball I am steal string in stone And cold silver bone Yee dry wood Sang an old song Beneath a striped white tree She sang sweet to me. Such rattling a roar From speckled tongue You know I would of lost my own mind If it wasn’t so strong Yes strong, as strong With roots long and deep Long have I burrowed And felt lost down beneath The solid, bold aged Barred alive and in vein Oh I hate it all the time. In my heart felt a beat Felt a soft shivering And in your lonely long eyes Felt a shadow over me. Seen them tattered stained clothes With the faint smell of old And walking long, long roads From the middle to the coast I, shabby ragged time move I ‘aint no strange lingerer Oh but I hate to see her go And pass on alone Take heed, take heed And forever my hand course And rough, and never too weary, Too tired to be. And as old man, gone wait too long, you look of pettiness. A bold shadow sways softly, what a burden, fallowing after him. Lord save my soul, from what she’s done to me. Laying face first in the street, and shake no more. When my love sings, it is wonderful. Perfect in her brightest night and her darkest day. Save my soul, now I have everything. Brought flowers made of gold to save her heart for me. Looking fine in old robes of stolen silver, and eyes like a demon. Eyes like a demon.

Waiting 05:46
I have been waiting And who know me better than the devil And his stress And all I’ve been wasting And paying my money down I traveled to be here And gone lost on highways And dug in dirt ground I’ve been to LA I’ve been to New York And when the sun it is burning A new place to put My money down I rode threw like a howling train From the great lake to the endless salt sea Romantic thoughts burned in my ears And placed deep and planted through my face I had a lover With eye light that glowed beneath The shadows on her face And I had another With long arms and hair Down to her waste If only for loving If only for singing songs You wasteful in sorrow Wasteful and sorrowful And when seeking your heaven Look through rollin’ sky Though wicked at times gone Gone jaded and sailing seas I went out searching Roaming through further lands Past the city I live in Across the country Now I have no lover I have no one to hold me down If only for traveling If only for filling an empty belly I’d stop my drinking I’d not be stoned all the time I’d stop my rambling If only for loving If only for singing songs If only for playing If only to burry me in the ground She’d keeping me waiting Stirring and shaking She talk sweet like the only one Look like the only one Only one for me I’ve been out searching Roamed the low river bend And flew out through my window And slipped on the rocks in the ground In the sweetness and stillness of solitude I have no lover I have no one to hold me down And there is no other That play like I And you have your money We have the weight, we have the weight I once had a lover With dark eyes and wrists skinny and fragile Her stomach was empty When once spiteful and sin She comforted me And I’d been with another I’d gone lost and high in the night To higher and higher Lost in high night Now where have my friends gone Seems such a long time since I’ve seen them I’ve been to LA I’ve been to New York To south and it’s border If only for ramblin Never to stay very long And I’d stop my rambling But I’d not stop singing songs I’d stop my drinking I’d lay my sorrow down.
