Find My Way 03:46
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 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 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 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 04:37
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
7.
Empty Chest 04:31
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)
8.
The Rest 05:11
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)
9.
Done with It 04:21
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

about

For this project, Joshua has brought in some of the Bay Area’s finest players as well as some East Coast all-stars. The sound tastes like Tom Waits, Joe Henry and The Wood Brothers wrapped in a tortilla dipped in honey and served up at the local speakeasy, delivering a feast of gritty soul that ranges from smoky blues to melancholy ballads to rowdy swing. The authentic interplay of various musicians resonates with Joshua’s deep gravelly vocals as he recounts tales of the road, drunken sailors, emancipation, love, death, promises and destiny.
