Hang Our Hopes - 2011

May each bell that sounds lift up a heart that's been weighed down.
Let them be found ringing out life from the cold.
Many our hearts are to mend but
Still come these longs nights when our hours are spent
Hoping this Christmastime will come right where we are.
Maybe we'll find an answer wrapped inside a box under the tree,
But me and my friends would rather be set free.
My friend its not only about what we've lost,
But the grief in our hearts fights hard for its turn to be heard.
But if just for this time, let us surrender our pride
And not long for anything but peace in our hearts.
Maybe we'll find an answer wrapped inside a box under the tree,
But me and my friends would rather be set free.
How white is the snow until everyone goes outside!
Maybe we'll find an answer wrapped inside a box under the tree,
Or wander downtown to the fountain
Where the brightest lights keep the ice from freezing.
Still the bells keep on ringing though its ten below, Christmas Eve,
May we finally be set free.

Waste Your Love - 2015
04:42
|

I was lying on the couch and I was shaking still.
All the snow had rained away and trickled on downhill.
Cold winds blowing through the bones of this old house.
You keep going, I'm through stopping you now.
When the needles start to grey I will burn them too,
and these creases on my face will leave the only proof.
Old wounds glowing in the lights I've strung up now.
Days keep rolling, I'm not stopping them now.
I hear silent nights are here, colder than I feared, to ring in the next year.
It's still a promise unfulfilled, and your signs of goodwill are ringing in my ears.
I give up.
Waste my love.
While you're dreaming of ice freezing, I'm pleading, "Day be done."
I try singing, my eyes stinging, "God bless us everyone."

Don't Rest A Wink - 2016
03:10
|

Hang your hopes on this branch.
The lights flash and dance around the dreams I've been dreaming.
Your little hands in my gloves, are you warm enough?
Because you look like you're freezing.
I don't rest a wink until you're sleeping on my right.
We're counting down the days and the cold nights.
It's another week away, but I'm leaving on the lights all night.
Now we're just passing time.
Sleep light, we'll watch the streetlights form a halo of white until there are blankets outside.
Stay in, we'll watch the same things again.
We'll send a message to friends:
"Yeah, we'll be just fine."
The shovel broke in two.
The plows, they don't come through until noon.

See Me - 2018

Living now what I have left
with the weight still in my chest.
I breathe the season
and felt it in your kiss.
It won't be long until it ends.
We'll put the boxes back under the bed.
If it kills us we'll mean it
like it's the last chance we'll get.
But you don't have to sing alone.
Because I'm coming home
through the fresh, white fallen snow.
It might take a minute,
but I'm not going to miss it.
I know, I know,
they've been closing down the roads,
but you're gonna see me.
Leave the lights on, I'm leaving now.
Do you remember last year?
Two inches of ice were on your passenger mirror.
When I came to get you
your tears had frozen in your hair.
And all of the blankets you used to get warm?
Two hours with the heat pad, then three or four more.
Is that when I lost you?
Sometimes I still feel alone.
The trees grow and groan
with the weight of melting snow.
I'd take a feeling
over any kind of meaning.
So, if you're gonna go,
wait till no one else is home,
but make sure you mean it
if you're thinking of leaving.
Away in our lonely bed,
I lay down my sweet head.
The stars in the sky look down.
I heard the bells ring out,
and old familiar carols sound.
The hopes and fears of one more night.
But I turned out the lights.

is it christmas yet,
the leaves are cold and brown?
the lights are green and red
at every shop in town.
the sugarplums won't dance
when you can't stop your mind to rest,
so make your christmas lists
as soon as you forget.
geez, you guys!
jesus christ,
you'd come back soon if you really did know what's right.
is it christmas yet,
or has it been too long?
we used to dream and wait
but all our dreams are gone
when little children rest
soundly in their beds
and moms and dad stay up
stuck inside their heads.

It’s been a long ten months
since I’ve hugged my old man.
My mother asked me,
“Is this thing we do really living?”
I lied through my teeth.
Last week I prayed again
to calm myself down.
But god wasn’t in, he can’t be reached.
The angels have all been laid off.
It’s been a real hard year.
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la
Hang up the lights in July.
Take down the tree in June (if you have to).
If we make it through this alive,
it’ll be alright.
We’ll be alright?

High and low,
I'm searching high and low
for what I used to know
on Xmas.
The child I was,
still learning about love
from someone big enough
to crush me.
With beaming eyes,
less than even half your size,
hoping just to be by your side
for minutes.
Jesus Christ
in your mouth sounded right
enough for me to try
just like you.
All those months
from the first to the last one
before the bells are wrung
move so slowly.
Then Xmas comes
sure enough it always does.
And you're singing the songs of love
and peace.
I'm 5'10"
close to 40 remembering
when you taught me what love meant
at your feet.

Peace, don't miss this house.
Hovering above, you're the snow in the clouds waiting to see what green can last till spring. What are you waiting to see?
Please stay with me now I've been so alone and there's so much room in this house.
Will you join me and sing the lead or harmony?
We could sing anything.
I climb with my sled up old Devol hill, my breath hangs and I smile until I slide back down to the bottom again and get back in my car and drive back home. When I open my door and walk in on my own I see for myself such a beautiful home, such bountiful wealth. I'm fine. I'm fine, I'm doing just fine.
