Head up, I’m going down
New paths on old ground
Wildflowers and bird songs
These hours, I feel strong
I am free, I’m free in my mind
I am free, I’m free in my mind
Novel in my hand
Propped up in the fine sand
By a lake in the summer
No name, no number
I am free, I’m free in my mind
I am free, I’m free in my mind
In a dream, on a long ride
On a stream in the sunshine
Eyes closed, with my headphones
Listening to the unknown
I am free, I’m free in my mind
I am free, I’m free in my mind
And the stress it unwinds
To a pulse of true time
And the symbols they rhyme
Pouring out into my mind
I’m here feeling it all
I’m here, big and small
I can do anything
I can do nothing
I am free, I’m free in my mind
I am free, I’m free in my mind

This Beautiful Life

That little porch where we sat in the springtime
Making chords that felt very nice
The soft play of the new leaf shadows
You know I love this heady kind of sight
Early out on that copper morning
Feeling like things would be alright
The velvet of your vowels forming
You know you glow in any kind of light
How you playfully tease me while I’m resting
How you laugh when you see you’re succeeding
How you look when you’re taking in a new day
You may not know, these little things I like
I’m looking forward to multiplying these times
I’m ready for the sad times we’ll find
But all these scenes and these colours and your eyes
You know, I love this beautiful life

Come on By

Off of the road, feeling the low’s
And I don’t want to know
About the bad tides coming
Can’t get away
But I have to go, so I’ll say it again
Make it ok
Come on by
And make the noise in my mind
Go quiet
Come on by
And wake me up to be kind
To this time
Back in the cold
Facing a life that I don’t really know
Getting by with the truth’s I hold
Take me to Spain
Give me the orange plum, southern sun for a day
I need something light
Come on by
And make the corners of my mind not blind
Come on by
And wake me up to be kind with my time
And the patterns I know
That take me below
You can make them all go
With your casual smile
Being near for a while
I get re-inclined
Come on by
And make the darkness I find not bind
Come on by
And wake me up to be kind in this time

Going's Gone

Baby, I do not like this
When it feels like we’ve lost control
I know that it can’t be all bliss
But I hate feeling so damn small
Yes, I am angry with you
About what you spoke out loud
And I know you’re upset too
So we’ll remain behind this shroud
And this time, it is mine
To let my thoughts rewind
The next day we make up
And it’s like nothing was ever wrong
Now it feels so right here
Baby, I hope this going’s gone

Know the Night

You’re a setting sun
Ever on the run
And there’s thing’s you’ve done
That won’t leave you alone
The weight you’ve grown
Solid as stone
Has put down below
Everyone you know
But you know the night
Where’ve your days gone
Kept you out alone
Where you can’t know them at all
‘Cause you know the night
Everyone around
Wants to see you sound
But what you have found
Is water in your hand
And you think you can
Make yourself a plan
Then the flames get fanned
Burning down the land
You know the night
Where’s your baby gone
Left him by the phone
And you can’t pick up the call
‘Cause you know the night
And you’d like to get gone
Far from where you’re from
But you know you can’t run
You know the night
Crying on the floor
Closing all your doors
When you know you need more
You know the night
But you need the day
You’re hearing what they say
Still you’re turning away
‘Cause you know the night

I knew nothing about Squirrel Flower going into this. I loved the album front to back as it reminds me of so much music that I enjoy. Her beautiful voice is an awesome contrast to the fuzz of the guitars. It was tough to choose a favorite song.
