Hope We Make It

I hope we make it up the mountain,
I hope we make it up the mountain,
but if we fall in the valley below,
you will have my hand to hold.
I hope we make it cross the ocean,
I hope we make it cross the ocean,
but if we just get lost at sea,
I'll drift just as happily.
I hope our pockets fill with silver,
I hope our pockets fill with gold,
but if they only fill with holes,
I'll just have more to sew.
I hope that we can find our calling,
I hope that we can find our calling,
but if I never find my way,
I'll keep calling out your name.
I hope that we both find true love,
I hope that we both find true love,
but if I only find heartbreak,
I will love you just the same.
I hope we make it to the moon and back,
I hope we make it to the moon and back,
but if we're caught in the vastness of creation,
we'll make some handsome constellations.

Black Hole

In the dark water he saw three fish,
they said give us some gold and we'll grant you one wish.
he said I want to see what's inside of me,
they said pay up my friend that wish ain't cheap.
They merge, an image forms,
they show the man what's in his heart,
he feels a strange relief,
he's staring at what he thought he'd see,
black hole, black hole, we finally meet.
Black hole, black hole,
what you gonna swallow,
black hole, black hole,
will you leave me my tomorrow,
black hole, black hole,
I don't know how you grew and grew but
my soul, my soul,
I need it more than you.
In the dark water he stared all night,
until the moon set and the sun arrived,
in that clear mirror he sees his curse,
knows not to fight it it'll only get worse.
His feet grow fins,
skin is scale and then,
he takes a breath so sweet,
he's diving in the crimson deep,
black hole, black hole, won't you swim with me.
Black hole, black hole,
what you gonna swallow,
black hole, black hole,
already gave you my tomorrow,
black hole, black hole,
nothing left but to swim with you but,
black hole, black hole,
tell me my lonesome days are through.

Light Behind Your Eyes
02:37

I fell for the light behind your eyes,
I fell for the light behind your,
eye-ee-eyes, eye-ee-eyes.
Well it's peaches in the summertime
and apples in the fall,
if I can have you some of the time
I won't complain at all.
I wish I had a needle and thread
as fine as I can sew,
I'd sew your name to the heart on my sleeve,
cause down the road I go,
down the road I always go.
I fell for the light behind your eyes,
I fell for the light behind your,
eye-ee-eyes, eye-ee-eyes.
Well you're going where you're going where
you've never been before,
but when you coming running back to town
come a knocking on my door.
You're going where you're going where
the chilly winds don't blow,
but stay a little longer
I'll find you a warmer coat.
I fell for the light behind your eyes,
I fell for the light behind your,
eye-ee-eyes, eye-ee-eyes.
I'll take you to the hillside where
the wild red roses grow,
I'll play this song til the night grow old
if you whistle all the notes.
Neither of us were ever that good
at walking down the line besides,
I don't see you on the ground that much
I always see you flying.
I fell for the light behind your eyes,
I fell for the light behind your,
eye-ee-eyes, eye-ee-eyes.
And if I'm by the wayside
with a nickel or a dime,
all I got do is think of you
and I'll be feeling fine.
The sweet sunny south
is where I first saw the light,
but hanging round with you
is when I learned to love the night,
when I learned to love the night.
I fell for the light behind your eyes,
I fell for the light behind your,
eye-ee-eyes, eye-ee-eyes.

The Plains

In the dark and the cold
caught you screaming at the lord,
god damn god damn you sir.
On your knees I saw you begging
for an end to you lessons
that you just never seem to learn.
Looking back at the silhouettes
at lonely mountains and regrets that
you carried with you all the way.
The many miles you put between
your aching heart heart and this valley
its didn't change a thing
you still feel the pain.
Stumbling through the tall grass,
struggling with the process,
of getting found again.
Wrestling with the big sky
it keeps asking your troubled mind,
how did you get lost in the plains.
You arrived here without a clue
of where you're headed
where you going to
you jumped to have faith in the streams.
But a wise man
told another man told me
you've got to know where you've been
if you're ever gonna reach
that elusive place that some call peace.
Stumbling through the tall grass,
struggling with the process,
of getting found again.
Wrestling with the big sky
it keeps asking your troubled mind,
how did you get lost in the plains.
