1.
The Atlantic 02:28
so long so far words that are clenching and closing my heart all my shoes and my dreams are falling apart time gives time takes deep in my bones there's a terrible ache the lie in me says you're a fake, you're a fake oh I pray for a road through the mountains face the wind in the sweetness of dawn Carolina, carry on sing a new song while I am gone
2.
Athens 03:11
with an atlas in my pocket and a stone upon my wing I ran away to Athens, but it didn't change a thing when I close my eyes and listen I can barely hear, but there's always just a whisper of your voice my dear and it's louder every day and it's harder not to say the things we both know so I just sing them sweet, sweet and low I put salt on my food, now it tastes like salt the ashes are a-fallin' I can't see at all and now that I am stuck here I will drink my life in sips and I will eat some berries just to stain my lips and my dusty feet are worn and I swear, I could've sworn I was ready to go but I'm just singin sweet, sweet and low
3.
when I wake, oh my soul to the morning sweet I can hear the humble ground rumbling an ancient sound when I climb, oh my soul into holy trees I can see the highway rise up into the golden skies how I long for you search for you in a crowd as I wade through the masses, I look up and I'll never look down foreign words and a psalm in my mouth hope like honey sweet on this scroll I eat dust and seeds, ever all I shall be and the body weeps, but the soul shall sing when I cry, oh my soul like a lonesome dove spring is coming on again I can feel it on my skin when I dance, oh my soul to the sound of you playing on a thunder drum giving that ol' harp a strum how I long for you search for you in a crowd as I wade through the masses I look up, and I never look down
4.
Andy 04:23
don't worry about Andy he weighs ninety six pounds his affection for humans is waning he'd rather have no one around don't worry about Andy wit comes with ease to his words he holds a pen with impeccable grace clear renderings clearly absurd
