We crossed the great Ohio sometime after five Laid on your parents’ grass and watched the sky I know throughout this year we’ve felt so far apart Now that we’re here, my dear, I feel a healing heart
(Chorus:) Ooh, ooh, ooh (x3) I feel a healing heart
My life is not a journey down some random path I believe the future informs the past I believe our love can be a beacon in the dark I believe we’ll make it‘cause I feel a healing heart
Chorus
It’s like an old flint knife that’s buried under ground You’ve gotta go through loss before you can be found Reach out your hand to me, we’re not that far apart I believe we’ll make it ’cause I feel a healing heart
Lay Your Head Down Low
Leaves are falling. Lay-oh! Hear the night wind blow Lay your head down low Lay your head down low
The pine trees seem to say-o Shelter in my boughs Lay your head down low Lay your head down low
The night was cold. The moon had a maple glow We walked along. There’s memories I can’t let go Cathedral arms white as bone We walked along. There’s memories I can’t let go
When I was young I saw something in the night Cathedral arms: the sycamores glowing white It’s been some time, but still they glow When I was young… there’s memories I can’t let go
Ghost dog in the hollow Did you hear me moan? Lay your head down low Lay your head down low
Ohio River City
Ohio river city waters by Shines like diamonds in my eyes There’s a star in the northern sky Ohio river city waters by
Where blue birds whisperer in my ears Words of wisdom through the years Seasons change, child, have no fear Where blue birds whisperer in my ears
(Chorus:) There’s a star in the northern sky Hallelujah, we’ll get there by and by We’ll arise to a cloudless sky In another year
Ohio river city, your winter is long Ghost ships sail with empty hulls But every winter has its thaw Ohio river city, you're waitin' on the thaw
(Bridge:) Feels like time's catching up to me Feels like love is still a mystery Feel the earth move beneath my feet
(Chorus)
(First verse)
When The Moon Is Rising
Chiseled out of the mountain side Shale and sandstone and anthracite Tears of longing and goodbye eyes It breaks my heart to go
I was born when the Earth was young Before the rivers began to run Before the moon danced around the sun You feel the cold wind blow But, you are not alone
(Chorus:) When the moon is rising And you're feeling low We will come together In fields of purple-gold The Solidago glow Wrapped around us both
The motor cuts off without a sound The weight of gravity will carry you down The winding roads and the little towns You're drifting like the snow But you are not alone
(Chorus)
Raven
Little Raven you and I Foraging together beneath the pines All the Redbuds wet with dew With morning sun coming through
Little Raven don't you cry We'll find ourselves together by and by Telling stories through the night Down beside the fire light
(Chorus:) The great "at last" The clouds roll back There are stars up in the sky Give me love and honey wine, oh wine Gentle breezes on the mind
Flash of lighting, thunder rolls Take me to my Carolina home Where the moon sickle white Rises high in the night
(Chorus)
Little Raven don't you cry We'll find ourselves together by and by In the morning a silver dove As the moon sails above
Cannonball
I hear the midnight whistle echo through this town I hear the midnight whistle echo through this town Lord, it sounds just like my life. Such a sad and lonely sound I hear the midnight whistle echo through this town
It's the Cannonball a-comin' down the line I hear the Cannonball comin' down the line As it goes around the bend, I'm gonna catch it on the fly I hear the Cannonball comin' down the line
I'll leave my Carolina girl to ride that train I'll leave my Carolina girl to ride that train I'll leave my Carolina girl that they call Adella Rain I'll leave my Carolina girl to ride that train
I've got a blanket and a jug to keep me warm I've got a blanket and a jug to keep me warm 'Cause the Cannonball will rock you like a leaf blown in a storm I've got a blanket and a jug to keep me warm
I've got a prayer to St. Theresa in my heart I've got a prayer to St. Theresa in my heart 'Cause a life out on the rails tears a body all apart I've got a prayer to St. Theresa in my heart
I went up and down the country on that train I went up and down the country on that train From the Carolina coast to the San Francisco Bay I went up and down the country on that train
Now I'm Carolina bound my girl to see Oh, I'm Carolina bound my girl to see Oh, I'm Carolina bound for to bounce her on my knee Oh, I'm Carolina bound my girl to see
I've got a long train to ride before I die I've got a long train to ride before I die And when I finally go, I'll ride a train up in the sky I've got a long train to ride before I die
Hush
There is child so green, like new love in the Spring She follows angels just to hear them sing Da da da da
(Chorus:) Hush, my child, be still and close your tired eyes The night is dark, but morning's right behind You rise to golden sunshine
When the day gets long she hangs her tired head Take her by the hand and lead her to her bed As she drifts away, she hears...
(Chorus)
Lonestar
No more darkness No more pain No more silence No more shame
No more anger No more fear No more toil No more tears
(Chorus:) Lux aeterna luceat eis Immemorial energy Stretched so far red It can't even be seen
No more shadow No more flame No more ... No more ..
(Chorus)
(Bridge:) There's a star up in the Star up in the Star up in the sky For you and I
