Family Tree 04:10
always planting seeds had a dream my brother had a kid and it's alright with me but i should go clean up what i did no one really knows where the river ends and where does start the sea but i should really go try to find the roots of this old tree so till kingdom come your name is carved forever in the bark and all my sons will follow me together through the dark

California 03:22
sit down let me tell you how i grew up big old house in golden town mama in the kitchen dad's in the field and i've never left the coast of californ but i've got no one to talk to sunshine mornings unfolding in early june out the window to keep an eye on the sea the air is warm i could stay all my life cuz this is how it was always gonna be but i've got no one to talk to except the pony in the barn cowboy rode up to offer us all he had for the house the field and mountain too i said, no way joe now you best ride on through cuz this is how it's always gonna be but i've got no one to talk to so i howl now at the moon

recently i've been thinking about moving home cuz city life was never quite alright with me and all my friends have lost their minds out at sea well i never really was the type to follow dreams well so it goes we lost it all along the way you know i live in brooklyn now and lord knows where you've gone and i figured it out that i think too much when i'm alone so the moon the stars the sea and i will find our guiding light and recently i've been thinking about moving home cuz city life was never right and lord knows where you've gone

last night, i was crying in my sleep drowning in the nightmare swimming in my eyelids don't you know, there's nothing left to me and i was back in my california home my dog well she was barking right at an empty window then she went, dissolved right in my hand now i'm a bit stuck in my head pacing around an empty house don't test me, i'll burn it down there's nothing left to me so when i tell you what i find there's this lightning and it won't subside last night, i was dying in my sleep the garden's way too empty the trees are much too thin now there's no one left to see me through and i haven't seen my dog in 15 years i'm not sure why she's showing up and haunting all my dreams i think she knows there's nothing left to me so when i tell you about what i find there's this lightning it won't subside and when i tell you i have to go there's something deep inside of me that i can't control
