Love of Some Kind (2002)

They’re singing Halleluiah on the radio
Driving to fast won’t get you your halo
Everyone knows there’s no halo

I’m dodging potholes out here on the road
I’m in pretty good shape as far as the driving goes
Some potholes can be full of gold
You wouldn’t think so

I don’t know who told me so
But I keep that state of mind
Cause I’m in no hurry, not gunna worry
Cuz I feel a love of some kind

I made good time today
In the morning I’ll pack er up again and be on my way
And the sun will be shining like a big old diamond through my windshield
Is that what they call that easy freedom feel

Put your trust in me
We’ll go to the country
Take in the simple ways the world used to be
With our pages filled and lined
With a love of some kind

I might change my mind
A thousand times
But I know you’ll never leave me behind
I think you hail from above
Cuz you bring me that
Love of some kind

Good Enough (1999)

I’ve come riding on my old farm pony
And I’m looking for another heart like mine
If I were to buy you that bucket of gold
Would you think that I am good enough?

I’ve got a big book of questions is my back pocket
And I’m looking for some of the answers from you
If I gave you the key would you choose to unlock it?
Would you tell me I am good enough?

I’ve got a heart, that goes without saying
Hearts are for hope and my hands are praying
That since I’ve come to you this sadness ain’t staying
Cause you might think I am good enough
You might think I am good enough

If I asked you would you make me a star?
Would you marvel my fingers as I played my guitar?
If I started singing would you sit and listen?
Do you think that that would be good enough?

Do you think that I am good enough?
Would you tell me I am good enough?

Only So Long (2002)

I’m not getting any closer
To getting any closer to you
And the longer I wait for your answer
The deeper the shade of blue

It’s been several days since they found you
You had plowed yourself right into the ground
I know you know I know you’ve been running around
Around

And I saw you down by the river
I saw that devil by your side
There’s only so long
You can plead your rights from your wrongs
Only so long

Lovers in love never really know what they’re doing
And at any moment they could easily drown
I suggest you stay far away from the water
Cause you’re gunna go down
Down

And I saw you down by the river
Yes and I saw that fire in your eyes
There’s only so long
You can wait for the right one to come along
Only so long
Only so long

City I Go (2001)

Down at the boardwalk the people they say
Across the fields the corn has been begging for rain
On the second floor, you and I front the fan as it sways
In the warm window wind
And we’re singing again

Well the heat makes us slow and the farmers don’t know
When the rain will be coming again
But till then there’s the sand in this summer time land
Come take my hand
Don’t let the summer end

And if you love me why don’t you tell me so
And if you don’t why don’t you let me know
Cause I don’t want to leave with my heart on my sleeve
And back to the City I go

Well the dogs and the cows and lay hens told me that
What the thunder strikes and the lightening lights
Out over the sea
It’ll churn up the ocean but it’ll never get me
I don’t see this in the city
Or the City in me

And if you love me why don’t you tell me so
And if you don’t why don’t you let me know
Cause I don’t want to leave with my heart on my sleeve
And back to the city I’ll go, I’ll go
Back to the city I go
Back to the city I go

Fair Island (2002)
(Interpretation of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s – Island Hymn)

Fair Island of the sea
Your north shore winds they carry me
Holder of my youth, safe keeper of my family
I raise my song to thee

I’ve saved my favourite parts of you
My old bedroom window’s sea view
Loyally I’ll stand as a sister hand in hand
Singing God save the land
God save the land

Where ere I dwell
I’ll hold this faithful heart
Close in mind though we are miles apart
To mother to father to Ellen Louise
I raise my song to thee

In all her borders be fear and evil free
You princely isle, your fortunes smile
Fair Island of the sea
My home forever be

Fair Island of the sea
Your north shore winds they carry me
Holder of my secrets, keeper of my family
My heart will faithful be
Fair Island of the sea
I raise my song to thee
