1. Wolves
when i die, let the wolves enjoy my bones
when i die, let me go
when i die, let the wolves enjoy my bones
when i die, let me go
when i die, you can push me out to sea
when i die, set me free
when i die, let the sharks come round to feed,
when i die, set me free
oh the world is dark
and i've looked as far as i can see
when the years have torn me apart
let me be
when i die let the flames devour me
when i die set me free
when i die throw my ashes to the breeze
when i die, scatter me
oh the world is dark
and i've looked as far as i can see
when the years have torn me apart
let me be, let me be
daylight is waiting for you
2. Lazy Snow
Lazy snow the sky is falling and it’s beautiful
Lazy snow the streets are silent and it’s beautiful
warm and white let it fall on you
a quiet light let it shine on you
let it shine on you
Lazy snow the town is hiding and it’s beautiful
Lazy snow the ground is rising and it’s beautiful
warm and white let it fall on you
a quiet light let it shine on you
let it shine on you
on you
3. Pasture
Oh brother i'm tired, my courage gone away
my gun it won't fire, and my legs can't bear this weight
i want to run far, so far from this place
where the grass grows tall, i can hide beneath the blades
put me out to pasture, i don't want to live on this battlefield no more
put me out to pasture, i don't want to live on this battlefield
oh brother I tried I can’t see it anymore
now i forget why, oh who am i fighting for
i want to lie down, my memory erased
upon the soft ground, I can feel its warm embrace
put me out to pasture, i don't want to live on this battlefield no more
put me out to pasture, i don't want to live on this battlefield
remember sun upon your face
when silent winds pushed cross the plains
How long must I wait
put me out to pasture, i don't want to live on this battlefield no more
put me out to pasture, i don't want to live on this battlefield
put me out to pasture
4. Have I Loved
have I gone and failed you
have I gone and let you down
have I loved
have I not been gracious
were my hands not strong enough
did I lose my patience
have I loved
everything I own owns me now
everyone I love holds me down
were my plans too heavy
did I hold you long enough
did I not seem ready
have you had to rise above
everything I own owns me now
everyone I love holds me down
have I left things broken
did I not speak loud enough
were there words unspoken
have I loved
have I loved
have I loved
5. Idaho
Headlights staring down the road ahead
you’re silent beside me I don’t wanna ask
last night I couldn’t help the things I said
you kept your distance painting on another mask
hard times knocking at our door again
just can’t fight it, forgotten how to run
cold hands like a stranger’s on your skin
can’t sleep beside you so I rise before the sun
where can we go from here
where can we go
we keep trying to get back to Idaho
old songs keep us dancing round the room
stuck in circles nothing new to say
how long can one heart beat so confused
we can’t stay here waiting on another day
where can we go from here
where can we go
we keep trying to get back to Idaho
6. Any Day
I’m old not broken
leaning heavy on hope and I’m hoping
I can always close my eyes to see
I’m tired not sleeping
there’s a vigil each night I’m keeping
and the sun must rise for my eyes to sleep
any day it could break
any day I’ll be beautiful
I’ll wait for the day when I make it through
I’m cold not frozen
many miles to keep and they’re growing
but i’ll drive them off til i find my way
any day it could break
any day I’ll be beautiful
I’ll wait for the day when I make it through
i’m torn not tattered
all the choices i’ve made they don’t matter
I’ll be on this road at the end of the day
