Poor Son

He’s a poor farmer’s son
Not deservin’ of no blessing
No idea of what’s to come
Or the love that he’s possessin’
And so he walked away
I’m a poor farmer’s son
Not deservin’ of no blessing
When I see what I done
Ain’t no use in me confessing
Because I walked away
And I pray for the fam’ly
And I pray for the songs that we used to sing
He’s a poor farmer’s son
Not deservin’ of no blessing
When it all come undone
He’d never left me guessing
And so he couldn’t stay away
And I pray for the fam’ly
And I pray for the songs that we used to sing
And we pray for each other
And I sing for the man who taught me ev’rything

Come as no surprise to no one
Everyone does what they can
Art ain’t livin’ if it don’t get looked at
And we’re just workin’
Painting pictures now and then
And what we are
Getting younger all the time
Sing a song for us, Karelina
Come and pray for us, Karelina
Karelina, come and take us
Karelina, take us home
It’s cold where we are and we’re needin’ something
No business prayin’ but we got nowhere to roam
Thank God for you
Getting better all the time
My Karelina, we pray for you
No business prayin’, you know it’s true
We reach for you
We’re painting pictures
We’re prayin’ for you
Poor farmer’s fam’ly, we pray for you
We pray for you

Will you fold me into you?
And so we meet again
It’s been a long, long time
Let me bathe in your light
Will you fold me into you?
Until the mists appear
Then come the sun’s first rays
Let me hold your gaze
Until we meet again
Will you fold me into you?

Waist Deep In Water
06:10

Then I saw I was waist deep in water
It’s the start of an alarming new trend
Then I saw I was waist deep in water
And I felt I was back at the end
I’m lookin’ down and I’m waist deep in water
Lookin’ left and right with no sign of a friend
I’m lookin’ down and I’m waist deep in water
And I saw I was back at the end
That’s cause I’m drownin’ in thoughts of myself
I feel like shit
And I’m drownin’ in thoughts of myself
Now the water’s risin’ and I’m waist deep in water
‘Cause that costs a whole lot more than I got to spend
Now the water’s risin’ and I’m waist deep in water
When there ain’t no one left to offend
Look and me now and I’m waist deep in water
There’s only so long that I can pretend
It ain’t me, it’s you – and you’re waist deep in water
Lookin’ left and right with no sign of a friend
‘Cause you was drownin’ in thoughts of yourself
It ain’t me, it’s you
And you’re drownin’ in thoughts of yourself
Come along and we can waste deep in water
This costs a lot more than we got to spend
And I’ll sit and laugh as we waste deep in water
There’s only so long that we can pretend
Down I go like a lamb to the slaughter
And you’re standin’ by like it was part of the plan
You’re lookin’ at me as I waste deep in water
That’s what you get for takin’ care of your man
We was drownin’ in thoughts of ourselves

This is for the girls who don’t always win
Dust to dust, then you’re carbon again
Dig a hole in the ground
You gazed into her eyes and said
Something meant for me
But you know and I know that
Fam’ly was meant for three or more
Dig a hole in the ground
And wait for me there
Pretty little flow’r
You won’t be without her
She’s looking for daddy
And that’s what she found
Dig a hole in the ground
We’ve come this far
What the fuck could you have to lose?
Look at what she’s found
Dig a hole in the ground
And wait for me there
Then you’re carbon again

These Old Bones
07:45

End of the line for these old bones
(lay me down, boy – and sing your lullaby)
Good as gold
Bless them, o lord, for they’re good as gold
Take them peacefully
Lay me down, my girl
Take them peacefully
(you had a long and restless ride)
Take them peacefully
‘Cause I’m withered and old
Lay me down, girl
‘Cause I’m withered and old
End of the line for these old bones

I Want Both
03:21

One thing, though -one thing
You might, for as long as I…
One thing, though -one thing
Wait one
You might as well use me
Might as well wait for the long term
I wanna have ‘em both

Reap What You Sow

But you don’t reap what you sow
And I can tell it’s time to go
‘Cause I see the light
Shinin’ behind the sea of white
For you and me
