Tranquillité d'esprit (peace of mind) 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Peace of Mind (tranquillité d’esprit) When the working week draws no conclusions And tomorrow looks like something insane I Don’t get down about it, sometimes might frown about it Live the life before us and all, its offerings There are times that we think of the future We look for signs that we hope will explain Sometimes we glamorize it, or try to prophesize it And maybe give it a name (tranquillité d’esprit) It all disappears when I look in your eyes, so pale and so wise You make me make plans for the days ahead with no compromise We laugh when we want to, and smile cause we have to, and love the time we have Never a day we didn’t understand, there’s always been love (tranquillité d’esprit) It all disappears when I look in your eyes, so pale and so wise You make me make plans for the days ahead with no compromise We laugh when we want to, and smile cause we have to, and love the time we have Never a day we didn’t understand, there’s always been love (tranquillité d’esprit)

Salt and Sea 03:32
lyrics

Salt and Sea When the weathers getting warm And when its hot to stay Salt and sea is on my mind You thinkin’ this a way? Find a spot along the rocks So calm beside the bay Cut the bait and split it up You thinkin’ this a way? Cast a line and set right there it tied on there okay Probably food for the jimmies now You thinkin’ this a way? Marsh grass bends with cool salt air Listen as it sways Pass that bottle over here You thinkin’ this a way? Heading to the nearest shore Ain’t got a place to stay But we’ll lay back before too long You thinkin’ this a way?

Cypress Swing 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Cypress Swing Once we took a moonlit walk with the sounds of a summer swamp crickets and frogs and the wind picked and rustled a lonely Palm Come on baby let’s meet somewhere You know that I missed you so Do you remember that cypress swing? Where we kissed a long time ago I think it was behind the Wayside Church near the Bayou Bonfouca I took your hand then turned a smile from your grandmamma Come on baby let’s meet somewhere You know that I missed you so Do you remember that cypress swing? Where we kissed a long time ago We never got to dance that night No Cajun or Zydeco I heard you whisper “fais do-do” And that was my key to go Come on baby let’s meet somewhere You know that I missed you so Do you remember that cypress swing? Where we kissed a long time ago

Just Like Pixie Dust 03:08
lyrics
buy track
PIXIE DUST Suddenly someone sent down an angel Someone to look after me I was waiting for the world to open its arms Start a countdown to finally be free It’s just like pixie dust all over I can hear the perfect harmony I always stood by but now I’m falling to my knees Awakened now life can be so forgiving Patient and trembling in me Often we hold back, instead we’re together See how our time is so brief It’s just like pixie dust all over I somehow got a remedy I always stood by but now I’m falling to my knees

Over Easy 03:54
lyrics

OVER EASY Not today, Adelaide I went down to see, if luck followed me to Buffalo machine But I made a quick case to roll 88’s Not today, Adelaide Karma told me ‘chase after your dream’ at the poker machine Then lost my big score on the China Shores When I hear you laugh, like thousands of stars, wondering who we are I snap out of it to see, a glaze around me, and I start falling, calling Not today, Adelaide On occasion I see a small victory at the roulette wheel Instead I went for Tony’s Baltimore Not today, Adelaide Just shooting the breeze, ‘it’s all over easy’, I heard Adelaide say She looked up at the pendulum and drove away

It Wasn't Heaven (but it was close) 03:28
lyrics

It Wasn’t Heaven When you see me don’t be mad Cause my lucks been running bad But we can still sing all night long If you just play me that song Think of me when the tide is rising Think of me when the nights get cool In simpler times our records playing just kids we didn’t know It wasn’t heaven, but it was close We were growing fast indeed Life awakened you and me Couldn’t say that word called love Our time was brief but just enough think of me when the reeds are swaying Think of me when the seagulls laugh In simpler times our records playing just kids we didn’t know It wasn’t heaven, but it was close Instrumental Couldn’t wait for the next day And it seemed, it took forever to start So when you see me don’t be mad Cause my lucks been running bad But I can still laugh all night long If you sing that stupid song Think of me when the tide is rising And how we loved the ocean breeze In simpler times our records playing just kids we didn’t know It wasn’t heaven, but it was close
