Summer Thunder

Sometimes bad things happen
But good people don't complain
They just ride off in the sunset
Get back on the road again
Biker biker
Go easy Easy Rider
Find a new bike to ride
On the other side
You made some bad decisions
But chose the right friends
They pull you from the wreck
And get you back on the road again
Biker biker
Go easy Easy Rider
Find a new bike to ride
On the other side
Going where the road is smooth
and your gas tank is always full
There’s no sirens screaming
No lights flashing blue
All the Sunday drivers
Pull over to the side
Endless empty highway
On an endless summer night
You know I'll be waiting
Alone and in the rain
Til the sun's out shining
And we're back on the road again
Biker biker
Go easy Easy Rider
Find a new bike to ride
On the other side
Summer thunder
Bystanders filled with wonder
No clouds in the sky
On the other side
No clouds in the sky on the other side

Prairie Dogs

The wolf howls for the pack
But only echoes answer back
The easy meals came at a cost
Caught and everything is lost
He licks his wounds
Beneath the moon
Daylight will be rising soon
No goodbyes
The mountain lion cries
For the last time
And the prairie dogs overrun the world
The bear curls up to sleep
In a cave so dark and deep
But the summer sun still shines
Feels like the right time
His fur is thin - his blood is cold
And he's tired and alone - No goodbyes
The mountain lion cries
For the last time
And the prairie dogs overrun the world
On 95 I saw a coyote
Reminds me of that song by Joni
Ill fitting skin and bones
Just like the scarecrows clothes
Tail between his legs, tongue wagging
Flagging me down for a ride
The mountain lion cries
For the last time
And the prairie dogs overrun the world
Overrun the world

Come and Gone
03:19

When you go against the grain
There are things you can't explain
By the hand that they are made
And the place from where they came
Miles above beyond the sky
In the twinkling of an eye
A diamond in the dawn; come and gone
Come and gone; come and gone
Like a diamond in the dawn
We were made to carry on, til we reach the great beyond
Come and gone; come and gone
We've been waiting here so long
A long time gone, come and gone
When you go against the grain
And you roam across the plain
Warm your hands over the flames
Of a stranger's fire place
Take only what is fair
Share all you can spare
Give thanks, the day is done; come and gone
Against the grain
Lying in the grass
Living every day
as though it were your last
A thousand year goodbye In the blinking of an eye
And the eyes we closed were blind
Never knew the reason why
Only thing they left behind
Seems like such a strange design
A diamond in the dawn; come and gone
Come and gone; come and gone
Old man dies; a child is born
We were made to carry on, til we reach the great beyond
Come and gone; come and gone
Like a diamond in the dawn
A long time gone, come and gone
Come and gone; come and gone
We 're the children of the corn
He Who Walks Behind the Rows is the only one who knows
Come and gone; come and gone
We've been waiting here so long
A long time gone, come and gone
A long time gone, come and gone
A long time gone, come and gone

Aurora Borealis

Some say I'm crazy
But I'm all right
I'm a golden child of light
One day I'll cross the great divide
And the Aurora Borealis
at night will be my guide
And I will fly on a solar wind
I will watch a new world begin
And a star become a sun
And the Aurora Borealis and I will be as one
It just seems pointless; I've had enough
Of a world that's forgotten how to love
Oh how I long for days gone by
And the Aurora Borealis
Curling brightly in the sky
And I will fly on a solar wind
I will watch a new world begin
And a star become a sun
And the Aurora Borealis and I will be as one
It's brighter tonight when the sun goes down
And the road is aglow - shows me where to go
Nothing in this world can make me stay
The Aurora Borealis will shine to guide the way
Last night
I held out my hand
Where the road finally leaves the land
And I stood at the very edge
Held my breath and closed my eyes
and took a
final
step
And I will fly on a solar wind
I will watch a new world begin
And a star become a sun
And the Aurora Borealis and I will be as one
the Aurora Borealis
and I will be as one
