Maple & Mahogany

I don't know where to go

I don't know what to say

I don't know, I don't know

What to say

Pop would have good advice

But he's been gone for some years

They…

Listen here: 🌄

waiting and fading

oh it's not easy to keep keeping on

as another day comes and goes

there than gone

i've been trying and trying and trying

and i'll try again

beams of light from the streetlamps keep the rhythm as we drive by

reflecting off the raindrops on the windows and my bloodshot eyes

oh I was once in love with two girls at the same time

it's hard to remember all that was since a year ago

so much and so little in that time

and i'm not sure what sort of road lies ahead, you know

what sort of troubles will…

as hound dogs kill the blood doesn't spill 
just to prove themselves the hounds of men 
oh the madness in the natural ways taking course 
and keeping the balance of the land 

lost, adrift and tangled in debris …

It wasn't easy to pack those bags
It wasn't easy to walk away
But I've had the distance to sort myself out
And a better man stands here today

Yet I hope you'll have a straight answer

plainly hidden in the sky

Is find myself a good rocking chair 
With a shoebox of photographs and a pack of matches 
Then I'll get started on forgetting you 

Well my eyes are…

Brighter skies are on the horizon 
Sorry I can't wait anymore 
That sun's already casting shadows 
And this one's got a foot out the door 

Oh, I'll be leaving shortly 

Now I'm not saying my goodbyes 
Without…

Well I was off by a long, lonely mile 
Caught in the fog of the wayward smile 
There's splitting once again 
And this time I'm in the black 
Now that I clearly see the borderline 
There's no turning back 

Cause…

As I get to thinking back 
You know, we grew up by the railroad tracks 
And now I like all them old train songs 
After walking those tracks for so damn long 

Well I don’t get back there…

Piles of leaves, kids were laughing and jumping 
I closed my eyes, your hair was blowing across my chin 
My hands under your sweater, the warmth there like an old friend 
Then you pulled me close and whispered
