The Mule

I don’t wanna, not gonna do it
I’m watching my p’s are, you watching your q’s?
So we go our different ways and end up in the same place
With nothing to regret
'Cause We’re dying a little bit each day
Divining for a little bit better down the road
A little bit better down the road
When we’re younger being stubborn gets the best of us
Like the sunburn you get lying under the summer sun
When you think you’ve done enough,
There’s so much more you haven’t tried
You haven’t tried, you haven't tried
Stubborn as I am, born under the bull
A mule I can be and a jackass to boot
But I got these angels that stand in front of me
Sometimes kickin’ from behind me
I'm talking 'bout it now
The timeless things we try to tell ourselves
To remind ourselves
We’re kickin' round the same dirt,
Kickin' round the same earth
When we’re older being stubborn gets the best of
The slicker that you’re wearing will still leave you half wet
You’ll think you’ve done enough,
There’s so much less you’d rather try, you’d rather try
'
Cause when we’re older being stubborn starts to mess with us
and when we’re younger being stubborn gets the best of us
and fittin’ into bigger skin still means some things, gotta stay behind
When we’re younger being stubborn gets the best of us
When we’re older being stubborn just a mess for us
So this sunburned and half wet,
Just six of one, half dozen of the other

Begin to Begin Again

Renew, rejoice, begin to begin again.
Renew, rejoice, begin to begin again.
Renew, rejoice, spin round
And round my friend again
Renew , rejoice, begin to begin again
From the fringes start
Pull up and apart
Quit your wool gathering
Look up from meandering
Alert your heart
Begin to start
To address
Renew, rejoice, begin to begin again.
Renew, rejoice, begin to begin again.
Renew, rejoice, spin round
And round my friend again
Renew , rejoice, begin to begin again
Let the waters part
Wade into the shallows start
One step in front of you
The whole world behind you
There is great haste
Walk through with grace
And arise
In the deepest of the dark
From the murmurs in the corners of the heart
Where there is rhythm, there is music
There are these songs to be sung (G)
Through raging waters
By the quiet of the reservoir
And the space between
Breath in, breath in, breath in.
Renew, rejoice, begin to begin again.
Renew, rejoice, begin to begin again.
Renew, rejoice, spin round and round my friend again
Renew , rejoice, begin to begin again

Harvest
04:30
|

Have you seen the whitest fog that’s rising from the bog?
The water’s warm, air is freezing, harbingers of fall
Underneath root and rock, the waters on the rise
Drops of crimson starts to spread, this is harvest’s time
The pool of crimson catch your eye while you be driving by
Stop a minute to rest your mind, you’ll thank yourself in time
As all this beauty passes from season to century
Best catch it while the moment lasts from winter’s icy grasp
Let it last now, let me take you in my arms
Let it last now, I haven’t got you long
There’s beauty in every season and in everything you feel
The cuts are rough, they might just heal, the scars are yours to seal
So you could clasp your hands together or just choose to set them free
The choice is yours and yours alone, just don’t lather up misery
Let it last now, let me take you in my arms
Let it last now, I haven’t got you long

Hallelujah Bitters
05:21
|

Harvest got the best of me
Fig leaf wearin’ fool under apple tree
Snake in the grass pulling at my pants
Eden lackin’ seasons, gettin’ bland to me
Hallelujah bitters settle the bottom of the cup
The Devil’s drink never seemed tough enough
Stirred me from the garden, water’s running off
Got my head in the hold of aging stocks
Should I disagree then you blunt my teeth
Or send me to the bottom of a deep ravine
I’m asking for a little sweet to blanket the burn
Of the raging wind and fire you’ve sent you sent from your door
Does leather make it better on the bottom or the top
Can the evil see you better with the candles in the dark?
Celebrate the moon before gets too gone
Them still stealing spirits still drunk too much (CHORUS)
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, now
Got one more tale that you could tell
Well, Its dark outside and the windows tell
There’s a big, bad spirit hanging by the sill
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, now
Tuck me in still that I may run
Cause Its dark outside and the windows tell
There’s a big, bad spirit sitting by the sill
Standing by the fire and I’m feeling kind of cold
Tipped off and pissed off from a few days old
Toss a blanket over bird and he’ll talk no more
Drink the Hallelujah bitters, throw the tip to the lord
And if kingdom come don’t come tonight
I’ll finish the evening when the sun come up
A toast to the heavens and a spill to the earth
Return the hallelujah bitters to the top of the shelf
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, now
Got one more tale that you could tell
Well, Its dark outside and the windows tell
There’s a big, bad spirit hanging by the sill
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, now
Tuck me in still that I may run
Cause Its dark outside and the windows tell
There’s a big, bad spirit sitting by the sill

Not Go Quietly
03:44
|

I will not go, I will not go, I will not go, I will not go
I will not go, I will not go quietly into the night
Not without my light, not without my might, now without my sight
Not without my rights, I will not go, I will not go quietly into the night
I will not go, I will not go, I will not go, I will not go
I will not go, I will not go, I will not go
Quietly into the night, not without my light, not without my rights
We will not go, we will not go, we will not go, we will not go
We will not go, we will not go quietly into the night
We will not go, we will not go, we will not go, we will not go,
we will not go, we will not go, quietly into the night, quietly into the night
