Medicine Man (free) 05:07
Who to condemn when we've built a fire under them? Generations will remember us as brave, just men Gold in the hills, keep our pockets filled Why are they all breathing still? There's gold in the hills Stuck beside the river's edge None of us will get revenge And none of us know where to go So we're following the blood in the snow My brother, they must know Medicine man, let me go Follow your signals of smoke Blankets thin and full of holes No shelter from the cold The frosty road numbed my toes The blackness crawled up to my throat Just leave my body in the snow Let my spirit fly on home
2.
Take this wounded heart, claim it as your own Envy, a curse for me It could warm this globe, melt this icy hold Green sleeves, deliver me Nothing in this world can be only How at first it might appear to be Sandy ground, sunken houses found Turn them upside down Once so proud, just look at us now Wrapped in a snowy shroud Oh fiery peaks, be good to me The world in her grace Mother Earth, devour me I am coming home
3.
Porcelain 04:39
Oh, don't leave me like I am I need you more than ever now, you know Love, the body isn't made for such misuse I should be on my way soon Don't give up on me, I'm worth your time On the porcelain you're painting The saddest face the world has ever seen Hold my head and pull me under If it's you I won't put up a fight Don't give up on me, I'm worth your time Love waits for nobody Don't make me wait
4.
Insect 04:19
Will you let your hair grow long like I like it? I will love you just the same Cause I'm the insect and you're the light I'm drawn to you, but I don't know why So I will linger until I die, or you burn out The sun set on the Capitol As we watched it, the congressmen loosened their ties After a hard day's work done I'm not as strong as I let on I've grown weak in my young age And when you're gone, for you I long There is hunger, but I don't belong here When conversation is too much, will you lie with me?
5.
The Insider 04:33
Don't let me down, I've waited long enough And I'm tired of waiting for you A bad turn around, I buried my love underground But my heart still sounds for you Nobody's out smoking on Sundays They're wasting away all day While I'm stuck in here And I try to turn trash into gold, Or just something to hold onto Cause I've been writing all these sad songs They've been coming out wrong I don't know why I can't just move on You've been gone for so long Peace be with you, oh freedom writer We gave power to that venomous spider But you're making this world a little brighter
6.
Call Me Home 03:42
Your bright blue eyes see right through me And answer all of my questions without saying a thing Forget the past, babe forget what I said I have been missing you from the moment I left Leave some space for me and I swear there I'll be Anytime that you need if you just call me Call me home, and I'll be coming home If there's still a home there for me Summer in December, I found what I wasn't looking for But I can hardly remember your face anymore Curse this awful cold, say the word and I'll be sold Let's head south and we'll get married and together grow old
7.
Know You 03:37
Love of mine, we're stuck in time We won't always be young I am pious, but keeping quiet You and I are as one, but I'll never know you The fire came, we prayed for rain As smoke filled our lungs Under the black sky You wept as I held you in my arms But I'll never know you
8.
Home 05:18
Well it's hard for me to leave it all behind Everything that I would once call mine Mountains and the fields, stars at night But now crowded streets, and tall buildings I'm gone Snowflakes drop like diamonds in the sky They are only boulders to my eyes It was never hard to say goodbye To the rain or snow, so here I go, I'm gone I hide from dark skies Bloodsuckers run rampant in this town They come out at night from their homes in the ground But I'll be leaving soon I'm homeward bound To factories, and tall buildings I'm gone I remember lying in tall grass Telling secrets on our backs I shared everything I ever had But now black freight train and ocean bay I'm home
9.
Copper Mine 05:08
Mother of mine, have I seen to much for you to ever love me? I hide the dirt under my fingernails But it's not hard to tell they're unclean Cause I've walked roads and I look back now And I wonder how I ever did The road was not ever paved with gold, But I was too young to know it Brother of mine, I have seen enough, And I love you too much to just sit back And watch you sink deep down into the mud 'Til you let go of your grudge, you will There is no end to time, The sun will always shine And even if fire destroys the copper mine We'll be fine

Enchanters 02:52
