Find My Way
Well I'm walking that road again, in and out of dreams
Places I've never been before and others where I've seen
The scarred faces of wild dogs in the neon lights
Runnin' through flowers that litter the street
Well I'm walking that road again, trying not to fall
Into the curse of contentment with bad habits nailed to the wall
Searchin' for change in my pockets and in my eyes
Holdin' out for the fire that calls out my name
(chorus)
Roll with it - gonna ride through the water - walk through the fire -
Gonna find my way (I'm gonna find my way)
Well I'm walking that road again, trying to hold on
To the pieces of my soul that shine, get rid of those that crawl
I'm dodging' bogeys and charlatans with shining smiles
And their 3 ring circus of demise
(chorus)

Certain Kind of Love

Certain Kind Of Love
Certain kind of love is born in the pouring rain
Knocks you to the ground lifts you up frees your pain
Feed you wash you now you might get cold
But you know it's growing time
When that love soaks into your roots and through your eyes
(chorus)
I should know 'cause my baby's love is fine
We've been at it for years, we may forget from time to time
Storm stays with us and reminds us again and again
Every drop sings a whisper, our (your) love's from the rain
Certain kind of love, leaves you no choice at all
Forced to surrender your heart and just heed the call
Drive you crazy wild push you right to the edge
Of what you thought you knew
When that love grabs hold
The whole world gonna be changing' for you
(chorus)

Light of the Moon

Light of the Moon
Silhouettes cross the bar room floor
The lost and the lonely, hide from the door
There's a cowgirl queen off Fifth Avenue
She lights up the room with the rhinestones from her boots
You can hear her singing
Bye bye, my sweet baby
Seems like the world got the best of me
Maybe I'll come home soon
Look for me in the light of the moon
(chorus )
If you don't find me
If you don't find me
I promise that I tried to get home to you
Get home
Neon start light up the sky
Still the darkness cloaks all of the passers-by
There's the smell of gin and sweet perfume
Linger long after the bodies have left the room
You can still hear her singing
Bye bye my sweet baby
Seems like all the years just tumble down right on top of me
Maybe I'll come home soon
Won't you look for me in the light of the moon

Eyes in the Back of His Head
On the road to Buffalo...5 a.m.
Nothing on the radio, the same stale songs ring out again
Broken lines, shattered glass dance with roadkill dressed in red
He stares out motionless through the eyes in the back of his head
(chorus)
He's got eyes! He's got eyes in the back of his head!
Made some deals, greased the wheels,
pushed the papers under the door
The only thing left for him to feel was the need for more more MORE
It was 92' when the whistle blew,
A goat was hung out to dry and left for dead
Now he's on the run from the visions that come
into the eyes in the back of his head
(chorus)
Met a man with a corduroy tan
And said there's a story that I need to tell
About 20 years, an innocent man
And the view through the bars of a cell
When the story was done he laid the print of his thumb
And got ready for water and bread
And those lids did fall, once and for all
On the eyes in the back of his head
(chorus)

Grow Old with You

Grow Old With You
Swept me away like a freight train
Stole my heart just like a thief
Fed me like the baker
Like a good healer you brought me relief
Now I'm standing here before you
As a man with his heart still up his sleeve
When I have it all I give it to you
This my dear you've got to believe
(chorus)
Everbody's got to leave this life alone
While I'm walking round
Gonna call your arms my home
So if you’re ready willing crazy and wild
I'll give you my heart true
I wanna grow old baby I wanna grow old with you
Sometimes I get lost in confusion
Like a wild wild storm raging on the ocean blue
Or I get stranded out in the middle of the desert
Always seem to find my way back to you
(chorus)

Eyes Awake

Eyes Awake
Eyes awake getting bolder
Eyes awake growing bolder
Eyes awake with promise of things to come
Eyes awake but moving on
(pre-chorus)
I'll be reaching for you to say goodnight
I'll be reaching for you to help me with my plight
And I weep for love and all that she gave
I'll be reaching for you.....
Say goodnight hope for grace
Another chance to see that light on your face
Stay with me for a while
Well I need to bathe in that smile
Another day, another chance
Another kiss another love another glance
Knowing you loving me
Is a dance in our own symphony
So won't you hold on...to me
Standing there dreaming big dreams
Standing there growing new wings
Standing there wide open with sacred grin
Standing there just taking it all in
(pre-chorus and chorus)...say goodnight say goodnight say goodnight say goodnight

Empty Chest

Empty Chest
Silent sprays of yesterday, leave fossils upon the shore
Tide rolls in, guided from within,
Lapping on her thirsty shores
There are free pirates, brilliant sailors and
Monsters of the deep
Paradise islands with mermaids and sirens,
Who lull into fateful sleep
(chorus)
In a bottle, they find their gold
Piled high on stories that have been left untold
In a bottle, they find their gold
And a ship that takes them far away
Keep on sailin' for another day
On a lifeboat adrift, his body is getting stiff
Won't somebody throw him a line
It's hard to get sober when your body's been taken over
By baggage and chemistry and time
Guided by voiced, disguised as choices
He gets lead into the rain
Like generations before him who've set the decorum
Of picklin' the brain
(chorus)

The Rest
When you lay me down, lay me down to rest
Won't you please, follow a few requests
Wrap me in a blanket lay me down in a hole
Sing me dear sweet songs, straight from your soul
Cover me with rich dark black soil
Water me with your tears sweat and toil
Plant an apple tree right by my side
Come and harvest your memories one at a time
(chorus)
While I'm still walking 'round
Trying to see all there is to see
Find out what can be found
While I'm still walking 'round
Gonna try to shine
When you lay me down, lay me down to rest
There's no need to get into your Sunday best
Come as you are and come tell your tales
Sing me your goodbyes as my spirit sets sail
Lift a glass lift a glass up to the sky
Throw me a party that lasts late into the night
Behold the glory of your life
Believe that's all going to turn out all right
(chorus)

Done With It
It's three hours 'til sunset forever until dawn
She savors the flavors of the silence and the calm
Takes her last look at the shadows lurking in the halls
The dust in the corners and the fingerprints on the walls
And she's gone, bye-bye
Bye-bye done with it, done with it now
She takes her trunk and her suitcase and she leaves them at the train
Takes the bus heading everywhere with nothing in her hands
Grabs a seat next to a stranger with three eyes in her head
And a coat made from rag dolls and ribbons 'round her legs
And she's gone, bye-bye
Bye-bye done with it, done with it now
Stares out the window as the light show goes by
Watching promises and prospects float into the sky
She starts singing a song born and raised in the wild
And the stranger sings the harmony sweet like a child
And she's gone, bye-bye
Bye-bye done with it, done with it now
She's swimming in saffron logic and incandescent light
Standing in her footprints and staring into sight
Releasing all the suspects that have been leaning on the walls
Knowing that next time is this time, she goes into free fall
And she's gone, bye-bye
Bye-bye done with it, done with it now

Joshua Eden Berkeley, California
The sound tastes like Tom Waits, Joe Henry and the Wood Brothers wrapped in a tortilla dipped in honey, served at a local speakeasy, A feast of gritty soul that ranges from smokey blues to melancholy ballads to rowdy swing. The fat notes of the bass resonate with Joshua’s gravelly vocals as he recounts tales of the road, drunken sailors, emancipation, love, death, promises and destiny. ... more
