"Song For Marion"

"Song For Marion"


Dear lord be good to me, the sea is so wide
Dear lord be good to me, my boat is so small

Oh God who lives beyond the place of thunder and rainbows
God who blows the western wind and calms the raging waves
God who shakes the mountains and pours fire on the sea
God who blows the howling wind, take care of me

Show you heart and show your face
Do not let me fall from grace

Dear lord be good to me, the sea is so wide
Dear lord be good to me, my boat is so small

I may not have the clothes of silk, or money of silver
I may not have a home made out of marble or clay
I know I have no armor to protect me from the storm
Oh God whose power burns the sun, please keep me warm

Show you heart and show your face
Do not let me fall from grace

Let me see the radiance of sun upon dark clouds
Let me see the silver dancing stars
Let me see the moon as she dances in your sky
Let me see your face amid the crowds

As the sun can rise at dawn up from the cloudy sea
As the day can break form darkest night
Let me find the rainbows end that follow the thunder
Through my tears against the wind teach me to begin again

Show you heart and show your face
Do not let me fall from grace

Dear lord be good to me, the sea is so wide
Dear lord be good to me, my boat is so small

"Song For Martin"

"Song For Martin"


In Rough Rock, Arizona he lived for many years alone
A gangly kid from Colorado, who could sing the sweetest songs
I first heard Woody's songs from him in a cabin in the snow
Seems like it was yesterday but it was years and years ago

He moved to Arizona in nineteen sixty-one
Got a job at the Indian school - he was livin' in the sun
My life was movin' fast by now, I was always on the run
My country life was far behind and the circus had begun

Marty, I know it got lonely out there
Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air
The heart that sorrow broke in you can never be repaired
Mart, I know I let you down somewhere

I knew that me and Marty, we should have been good friends
I always knew the paths we walked were meant to cross again
We talked on the telephone once or twice a year
His voice was so familiar, his memory was clear

I'll never know what brought him to where he finally stood
A shotgun pointed at his head in a cabin in the woods
But somehow I could hear it, it struck my heart as well
For the unknown man who needs a hand
For the friend I'll never know

Marty, I know it got lonely out there
Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air
The heart that sorrow broke in you can never be repaired
Mart, I know I let you down somewhere

"Song For Sarajevo"

"Song For Sarajevo"


Blood in all the streets, running like a flood
There's no where to hide, no where that I can go
I reach out my hand, touching death itself
Just a holy day in Sarajevo

I can hear my heart, pounding like a clock
Hiding from the planes and from the bombing
Fire from the sky, burning down my life
There is no more love and no more longing

But when I close my eyes:
I dream of peace
I dream of flowers on the hill
I dream I see my mother smiling
When I close my eyes I dream of peace

Once I had a home, once my life was good
Once my mother sang to me and held me
Then the fire came, falling from the sky
There is no one left who can protect me

War's a wicked bird that never comes to rest
Feeding on the dreams of all the children
War's an evil bird flying in the dark
Every holy promise has been broken

But when I close my eyes:
I dream of peace
I dream of flowers on the hill
I dream I see my mother smiling
When I close my eyes I dream of peace

Can't you stop the war, bring it to a close
You are tall and strong and I am just a child
Can't we live in peace, stop the flowing blood
Make a blessed world where I can be a child

When you close your eyes:
Do you dream of peace?
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
Do you dream you see your mother smiling?
When you close your eyes do you dream of peace?

When you close your eyes:
Do you dream of peace?
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
Do you dream you see your mother smiling?
When you close your eyes do you dream of peace?

Open up your eyes and give us peace.

"Sons Of"
(originally by Jacques Brel)

"Sons Of"
(originally by Jacques Brel)



Sons of the sea, sons of the saint
Who is the child with no complaint
Sons of the great or sons unknown
All were children like your own

The same sweet smiles, the same sad tears
The cries at night, the nightmare fears
Sons of the great, sons unknown
All were children like your own

Sons of tycoons, or sons from the farms
All of the children ran from your arms
Through fields of gold, through fields of ruin
All of the children vanished too soon

In towering waves, in walls of flesh
Amid dying birds trembling with death
Sons of tycoons, sons from the farms
All of the children ran from your arms

Sons of your sons, sons passing by
Children were lost in lullaby
Sons of true love, sons of regret
All of your sons you can never forget

Some build the roads, some wrote the poems
Some went to war, some never came home
Sons of your sons, sons passing by
Children were lost in lullaby

"Spanish Is The Loving Tongue"

"Spanish Is The Loving Tongue"


Broke her heart, lost my own
Adios, Mi corazon
Spanish is the loving tongue
Soft as music, light as spray
T'was a girl I learned it from
Living down Sonora way
I don't look much like a lover
Still I say her loved words over
Mostly when Im all alone!
Mi amor, Mi corazon
Haven't seen her since that night
I cant cross the line you know
Wanted for a gambling fight
Like as not its better so
Still I've always kind of missed her
Since that last sad night I kissed her
Broke her heart, lost my own
Adios, Mi corazon
Broke her heart, lost my own
Adios, Mi corazon
Adios, Mi corazon.

"St. James Infirmary"
(feat. Arlo Guthrie)

"St. James Infirmary"
(feat. Arlo Guthrie)



It was down by old Joe's barroom, on the corner of the square
They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there
On my left stood Big Joe McKennedy, and his eyes were bloodshot red
And he turned his face to the people, these were the very words he said

I was down to St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table,
So sweet, cool and so fair

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She may search this whole wide world over
Never find a sweeter man as me

When I die please bury me in my high top Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
The gang'll know I died standing pat

Let her go, let her go God bless her
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
Never find a sweeter man as me

I want six crapshooters to be my pallbearers
Three pretty women to sing a song
Stick a jazz band on my hearse wagon
Raise hell as I stroll along

Let her go Let her go
God bless her
Wherever she may be
She may search this whole wide
World over
She'll never find a sweeter
Man as me

"Stars In My Eyes"
(theme from "Drawing Home")
(feat. Aled Jones)

"Stars In My Eyes"
(theme from "Drawing Home")
(feat. Aled Jones)



I am a whispered prayer
Rising up through the air
Never knowing where tomorrow goes

I loved, I laughed, I cried
Filled up the corners of my life
But there's a reason why I spend my nights

Dreaming
Believing

Love is a song
The heart sings along
Strong as heaven's light
I know it will play
To show me the way
As long as I have stars in my eyes

The face my mirror shows
Is still the one I used to know
Full of faith and hope that's who I am

So many things have changed
But deep inside I'm still the same
And my feet remain on solid ground

It's my turn
But I have learned

Love is a song
The heart sings along
Strong as heaven's light
I know it will play
To show me the way
As long as I have stars in my eyes

There's so much
Inside of us
Only love will set us free

Love is a song
The heart sings along
Strong as heaven's light
I know it will play
To show me the way
As long as I have stars in my eyes

That sweet melody
Will be playing for me
As long as I have stars in my eyes

"Story Of Isaac"

"Story Of Isaac"


The door it opened slowly
And my father he came in
I was nine years old

And he stood so far above me
And his blue eyes they were shining
And his voice was very cold

He said, "I've had a vision
And you know I'm strong and holy
I must do what I've been told"

So he started up the mountain
I was running, he was walking
And his axe was made of gold

You who build these altars now
To sacrifice these children
You must not do it anymore

For you never had a vision
And you never have been tempted
By the Devil or the Lord

Yes, you who stand above them now
Your hatchets blunt and bloody
You were not there before

When I lay upon a mountain
And my father's hand was trembling
With the beauty of the word

And if you call me brother now
Forgive me if I ask
"According to whose plan?"

When it all comes down to dust
I will kill you if I must
I will love you if I can

And may I never learn to scorn
The body out of chaos born
The woman and the man

And mercy on our uniform
Man of peace, man of war
The peacock spreads his fan

"Strangers Again"
(feat. Ari Hest)

"Strangers Again"
(feat. Ari Hest)



Long before we ever touched
Long before we knew too much
I wish we were strangers again

Long before we ever kissed
Long before I ever missed you
I wish we were strangers again

I want yesterday to come back again
Nothing is as simple as I once knew
Why can't everything be the way it was
Before the day that I lost you?

I want yesterday to come back again
Nothing is as simple as I once knew
Why can't everything be the way it was
Before the day that I lost you?

Long before the afterglow
Long before our tears fell slowly
I wish we were strangers
I wish we were strangers
I wish we were strangers again

Yeah, I wish we were strangers
I wish we were strangers
