Sun rose
and the hollows of our hands
were open wide
Rising,
Falling
The Great Power’s alive
Falling ‘cross the sky
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh
Sun Rose

Wasted youth
and a wasted life on the good Earth to be found
I'm not one to pass the time 'til I'm face-up in the ground
I'm a citizen of this world you know
We don't got very far to go - you can always go far to be found
Cuz these days the eyes of God are all around
They're sending clarion calls from the wild space land
We just imagine we're the only ones who hear
But we're citizens of this world you know
We don't got very far to go - but we can go far when we're found
These days the eyes of God, they're all around
Alright
you can always go far to be found
Well these days the eyes of God are all around
all around
all around
all around the town
all around
all around the town

In the city of men fallen from favor
Just behind the fence, divided, fruits of their labor
Pedlar’s parish, county affairs
They’re taking stock of every one there
Bought a gray horse and painted him black
Any day they’ll start their attacks on you
(This is you and your neighbors)
Wild things grow, but does anybody know
When blood hits the floor
Does spirit turn to gold?
Well, obviously...
Super racehorse, jumping the fence
Kicks the casket meant for the press
Got a lifetime of bullshit and work
Got a lot of time for doing the jerk on you
I am your neighbor
Fallen from favor
Yes, yes, I am your neighbor

My Woman's Love

I could withstand the temptations of a Jezebel
I could stop my ears from the cries of the sirens in the Dardanelles
Mm hmm
We pass the time like incense and wine, entwined eternally
We’ll grow old like Darby and Joan
The kids upon our knee Mm hmm
With the help of my woman's love
Want to
I want to, I do
We should take time to make time
I want to (History’s a dream)
History’s a dream you will awake from without me
The mystery clear at last
in the light of the darkest night at sea
With the help of my woman's love
I want to
I do
We should take time to make time

Ate a leftover steak for breakfast
Watching the sun go down
Been lying awake til dawn now
I’m not ready to face that
I’m not ready to face something today
And I wish I was high
Brighter than nothing
Smarter than nobody
And I’m wasting away
And I think of the things that matter
And I think of the things that don’t
Whatever, it is no matter
I hate feeling the way I feel
I hate feeling the way I feel today
And I wish I was high
Brighter than nothing
Smarter than nobody and I’m wasting away
And I see myself with the headphones on
I’m listening to Wake of the Flood
I’m listening to Wake of the Flood and I’m high
Brighter than nothing
Smarter than nobody
And I’m wasting away

The Cross-Eyed Moon

Goin’ back
Into the dirt
Goin’ home to where the good folks go
Under the cross-eyed moon
On the cross I moan,
“Will you be home soon?”
Into the dirt
Where all good folks go
Where I once belonged
Where the good folks all go home
The cross-eyed moon
Under the cross-eyed moon
On the cross I moan,
“Will you be home soon?”

Working for the midnight howl
I was feeling fearless up to now
you can always say it loud, but if you're proud
Come up to the searchlight inn
'cause I wouldn't leave it up to them
You really gotta take the reins
It's up to you, I said again
but if it's underground, maybe we'll speed it up
spread it all around, 'til all they need is love
Running from a failing fire
Ash on the forest, burning pyre
you really gotta take the reins, it's up to you, I say again
(musical interlude - journey to the shore)
Said she could find her own way back
glad to take along her friends
Daylight sending haloes to black, with the landmark ahead
standing on the shoreline
"I do well in the Winter time, if there's many sights to see -
Otherwise, I'm going blind
I feel right as the breezes blow, Sun calling out to me -
Thinking on the shoreline"
"See, Baby, can you see,' she says, "The sea is really being me,
Take my heart in your hands -
just shine on in every line,
shivering through space and time,
and we're hanging on to this vine - shimmering on the shoreline"

Can you relate to that wonder?
Beyond the eyes, and the words we use to describe
The holy night, trapped in a bottle upon the shining sea
Which carries us away
Should we let it be?
One night on Earth
With these Pinewood tales
Where I stumble
And try to remember
Where my hearts aligns with my love
Warm in their beds, and they’re fast asleep
But their eyes are open
Their eyes alight
Can you relate to that wonder?
Can you relate to that wonder?
Can you relate to that wonder?
To that wonder

Room to Land

Mike Hotter Vintage Heads Albany, New York
Room to Land’s songs were developed over the last decade - some inspired by the loss of friends & family members, others by
the joys and pressures of marriage and parenthood.
The songs also meditate some on divisions within larger communities and between neighbors - all an attempt to summon the gumption & fortitude we must muster to bridge those gaps.
