Hope Floats 04:25
Hope Floats And we asked if any gold could stay And when we pass, do we only pass away? And I was not alone in being unaware That you were calm that you were confident, composed And anything but scared We, by 2002 or 3 were done with innocence and insolence washed over me I, by 2004 or 5 had found that insolence breeds nothing more than ignorance And foolish, foolish pride And as we stood there in the light I swear I saw your faces shine and you said you thought so did mine And when the night came down we were the same three stupid kids But even stupid kids are smart enough to know It wasn’t us or what we did And she asked “do you love the sound of snow?” I put my ear against the glass and whispered “no” How do you love a place so cold, all but 4 months of the year you spend inside? She said I don’t, but some of us look at the heart We make angels in the snow and we light candles in the dark And when she laughed, then I knew She was the only one I’d seen since you had died Stretched out in the lifeboat staring at the sky And the sky stretched back and looked at me my dear And I asked Sam if Hope Floats to which he replied Well Mark, there isn’t much that doesn’t float up here

No Artist No 03:25
No Artist No You walked a mile inside her shoes And you had little trouble sleeping Til you heard both eyes say it didn’t matter anyway Convinced that she had nothing more to lose Well you played Charlie’s Friday night And you remembered all the motions Of romance fires burning, record players and stomachs turning Thinking to yourself the air must be right Well we were young and we were proud We had fury in our hearts and we had sweat above our brows And we fought hard and we fought well To sound more sorry for our sins than for ourselves Love is patient and love is kind And you were loving every moment As you saw better plans unravel and unwind Leaving you alone with all your joy But we were young and we were strong And we were praying to our savior that our savior wouldn’t find us Staring up at half moons and wishing for hotel rooms When we had little trouble getting by We were young and we were strong We were sleeping in our cars where were knew our cars did not belong But we fought hard and we fought well To sound more sorry for our sins than for ourselves

Forgive Me, Savannah Rain came down I felt a loss for words at all the words that I had found And Carolina held me like a child And in the sunlight for the first time since the Spring time I was back on Southern ground 95 to 26 was open with the windows And the Wild was on the stereo and I Cut the chords where vocal chords constrain Us from the notes that we can never ever find But I drove home Light came down And I heard a voice say never lose the sound We humans have a wandering need as humans are a faulty breed And I’ve found it’s an easy sound to lose But oh my dear Savannah if your majesty was mine We’d never have to feel September’s chill or see its sky Cause I’ve found a place where I can see the stars Just fine But I drove home This southern rain is soothing on my skin But this soothing southern rain cannot compare To hearts and strings that pull apart my doubt Your Jersey lips and Jersey eyes and Jersey hair So I drove home

Sweet England Sound (Boston Shines Tonight) We said low and behold, these weary hands are cold Headlights won’t light and street lights never get warm I remember I was breathing fog and I was not alone beneath the trees Water in the distance was as clear as the water at my feet Boston shines tonight Regardless of how we steer our sights Regardless of our driven minds Boston shines tonight Regardless of the clouds between here and the sky But I want your hope So long Florida sun You were lovely in your own right Lovely as the only one to burn so bright against the blue We believed that we could joke away the guilt, the pain But people rarely laugh out loud as often as they tell you that they do But I want your hope Boston shines tonight Regardless of how we steer our sights Regardless of our jaded driven minds Boston shines tonight Regardless of the clouds between here and a moonlit sky
