LIGHTNING
The day after you’d gone
A hard rain coming on
A cold wind swept me from the hills
I made it into town
And I drank the whiskey down
I smiled it warmed away the chill
In these days of doubt
You pay to sit one out
Beg to buy a little time
You learn to keep on running
You know the storm is coming
The thunder rumbling behind
Now I find I’m standing
Where the LIGHTNING’s landing
& I knew you’d planned it all along
Were you tired of being
Where there ain’t no freedom
Feeling like you’re always ever in the wrong
And even if the rain keeps up tomorrow
I’ll keep moving on
Where’s the Angel’s landing
Ain’t no understanding
I only seen them fly away
You felt it in your skin
And the whiskey you were soaking in
It must’ve been too good to stay
So I’ll keep on walking
Half afraid of stopping
Half swallowed reasons in my mouth
While the heavy laden
Read your name a-fading
Upon the shelters of the south

Beauty
All of your life
Where have you been
You been hiding in shadows
Won’t you shine again
With your mouth full of storm clouds
& your eyes full of rain
All you hear is the thunder
All feel is the wind
All of the BEAUTY in you
Always been clear to me
All of the BEAUTY in you
Always been so hard for you to see
& I hope it ain’t too late
Not too much left unsaid
I hope you can hear me
Through the noise in your head
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Now someday if you’re ready
If you’re feeling all right
If you come around this way again
Won’t you call me sometime

JUST hold on
We’ve come too far to walk away
We lost some hopes along the way
Please push a little further on
Please JUST hold on
We buried what we never said
We haunt these graveyards in our heads
Please dig a little deeper down
Please JUST hold on
In my dreams at night
What I see, it ain’t right
How can all these people be doing it baby
When not enough, no not enough of them are making love
Now it’s our path to walk alone
We can’t look back or we turn to stone
Please push a little further on
Please JUST hold on
JUST hold on

the ROAD
Fog climbs thick on the mountain
The air hangs heavy on the breeze
The full moon wearing out her halo
Night as quiet as a thief
And I want you to steal me
Yes I want you to steal me
Where the road I’m following
Filling up a hollow in
My soul will grow around it
My soul will go unbound & fly
I left it all to be here
Among the quiet of the trees
To hear without distraction
What it is that my heart needs
Yes I want you to heal me
Yes I want you to heal me

SURFliner
I hear that train whistle moan I feel the SURFliner pass
Shaking the bones of my home rattling the window glass
That old frame goes crooked just like the picture turned out
Like a street lamp flickers I guess we all just burned out
So ride that silver SURFliner baby
You’ll find your silver lining maybe
And you’ll never come home
Now everybody knows it’s that kind of town
Where you gotta be ready when the sh!t goes down
And everybody talks about getting out
But nobody knows what they’re talking about
They’re busy buying all their baggies & their forty ounce
All their hard work never ever amounts
To nothing from nothing so you know you gotta bounce
Find a place in the sun with someone who counts
So ride that silver SURFliner baby
You’ll find your silver lining maybe
It’s waiting down the track so go and don’t look back
Just ride that silver SURFliner baby
Ride on … I want something better than this for you
So ride that silver SURFliner baby
You’ll find your silver lining maybe
It’s waiting down the track so go and don’t look back
Just ride that silver SURFliner baby
