I was bored . . . so I called upon my cousin
To dig into the earth
As if it could give us something
Well, my feet sank in the mud
And it became my only friend
now I think of dying
As if it already happened
I know what happens next
I know I know
I know what happens next
I was called on by the Lord
To witness a ceremony
Of a still-born life in a still-born town
So I called upon my courage
And walked up to the church doors
But I felt so separated
From the family I was raised in
Singing songs—singing songs—singing songs
To try and dam (damn) the tears
That were the only honest option
I know what happens next
I know I know
I know what happens next
Take me to the mountain
Take me to the canyon
I don't see any difference
I could sing the same thing at any elevation:
Where is my god?
Take me to the desert
Drop me in the ocean
There ain't one lick of difference
If it were a drowning or a dehydration
Something has died
Toss me to the treetops
Dig me in the dirt
I can't escape his right hand
God is in the high place
But also in the low
Now I know
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh
So take me to Montana
Or leave me in Wisconsin
There ain't one lick of difference
I could sing thing in any state I'm in
Toss me to the treetops
Dig me in the dirt
I can't escape his right hand
The devil's in the streets
But God is on the footpath
I just now learned

Who to Blame?

Six years tugging at your heart
Left a mark as strong as all the love we never spoke about
When we came into this life
Lord God crossed our paths but we accepted every crossing
and I don't know who to blame
Tiger-strong and summer-light
Ferris wheel to span the height
My close friend is at your side because it's what we wanted
So I don't know who to blame
Words on the interstate
When I almost asked your hand
I was younger then
And I knew no other option
Windy city to the East
Telephone can barely reach
How deceptive it can be to love a replicated voice
Photographs as envelopes
fell like rain along the coast
Water fresher than the ocean but how distance fools you
And I don't know how to blame
Words on the water's edge
When we made our final choice
Eyeing the evidence
I can see there is no other
I loved you with all my heart
But my mind persuaded me to wait for second chances
So I don't know who to blame.

Black Lung

Black lung—the darkness looks like rain
Tree top to flowers grown and green
Speak clear, their children are the same
Though language denies it
Skylight, too dusty to see
The sky or light in front of me
Alone is not the only thing
Worth crying a tear
There is a hole in the sky
There is a hole in the sky
There is a hole in the sky
There is a hole in the sky
We are all rising

Seattle

Will I see you again
In the light of Seattle
(Though it's scarce like the snow
In the country I sit in)?
Will I ramble of pain
Or speak of the weather
(As you did on the day
We drove to Seattle)?
Will you pull me as close
As the tracks to the hard earth?
Will you travel My ground
Till you whisper
So soft . . .
My love, where have you been?
My love, where have you been?
My love, where have you been?
If the queens of the sky
Sent rain
To the kings of the earth
In an open field
Would you soak up the storm
Like the wide womb of springtime?
Or gather up
In the pools of Seattle?
My love, where have you been?
My love, where have you been?
My love, where have you been?
I'm the first leaf that falls
With the chill of September
It's the month of my birth
And the push into autumn
When the leaves start to fade
In the states I have lived in
Till it all looks the same
As the grey of Seattle.
My love, where have you been?
My love, where have you been?
My love, where have you been?
