The Good (that one good friend can do)

Audio available soon:

Well I moved to the city​

And I did the best I could​

But the only time I felt alive​

Was back there in those woods​

With those old new England Rivers​

And those old England trees​

Walking through the autumn​

With my darling next to me​

If you've ever longed for home ​

You know the voice that calling you​

And if you've been alone​

You know the good​

That one good friend can do​

There's a siren that keeps ringing​

There's a neighbor that just won't sleep​

It's only when I’m looking back ​

That I can find some peace​

Back by those old NE rivers​

And those old NE pines​

Walking through the springtime​

With that first sweetheart of mine​

Well I'm crawling back in pieces​

I'm crawling back in shame​

I’ll make my way right through the thunder and the rain​

If you've ever longed for home ​

You know the voice that calling you​

And if you've been alone​

You know the good​

That one good friend can do​

How we doing on time?

Listen here:

How are we doing on time?

Is there room for one more song?

Can we stay up here in the lights?

Or will management move us along?

We've been crying our hearts out to everyone here

We've been crying to everyone gone

And that's all well and fine

But how are we doing on time?

How are we doing on time? Is there time for one more kiss? Can we just stay in bed? Or have you made up a whole list? Of things to get done Or things to work out Like what's yours and what's mine?

There's so much to do But how are we doing on time? There's a cry in the distance

A break in the chain

There's a light that keeps blinking

for the fire brigade

There's a bridge that's washed out

But we blew right past all the signs

How are we doing on time?

Can we stay here until we grow old Can we stay under this roof Or has the whole house been sold All I want's for my child To have what I had  And to breathe underneath the blue skies But there's all of this weather

And how are we doing on time?

There's all of this weather

And how are we doing on time?

Lyrics by Benjamin Adair Murphy

You're the one I'm waiting on

Audio available soon:

Following my heart's gonna drag me down

Drag me to some place enchanted

I don't see the stars, I don't see the town

Or the cars on the road that are stranded

Following my heart's gonna do me wrong

But you're the one that I'm waiting on

You're the one that I'm waiting on

Gathering the wood for the fire in the stove

Never gonna warm my hands like your skin

I don't know where it is that I should go

And I'm lost in the cold and the wind

I never said that I was strong

You're the one that I'm waiting on

You're the one that I'm waiting on

You're the one that I'm waiting on

You're the one that I'm waiting on

All this time with one foot out the door

The fires will rise

Then they'll die back down again

They're here and then they're gone

While you're the one that I'm waiting on

Following my heart's gonna let me down

Leave me alone in the end

I'm walking through the night without a sound

And then I'm gonna walk home again

And wonder why you make me wait so long

You're the one that I'm waiting on

You're the one that I'm waiting on

You're the one that I'm waiting on
