Track Name: The Channel
A long dark season
Lasted many years
I was wilting in the valleys
You were drowning in your own tears
You said come in out of the cold
Will you tell me your name?
With an elixir of kindness
And a pill to kill the pain

Way back home...

Stay for awhile
Will you miss all your friends?
Do this for me love, I'll be with you to the end
Now when it's the end of the line
Please make it quick and clean
Don't ask me to linger
You know what I mean

Well now the Road to Redemption
It's always the same story
Blood for mortar and pain for Glory

A way back home...

Now Ruin has her Reasons
And fears & all these failures
Are shepherding your victories
Like maidens to their sailors

So let him who is without sin
Go ahead cast the first stone
Why don't you toss it my way?
I'm a sinner to the bone

Way back home...

Smoke on the water
The waves come in without end
We're the paper lanterns
Burn, burning from within

Now these burdens are too heavy
I'm only flesh and bone
My Spirit's fled her cage
May she find her way home

Way back home...
May we find our way back home

(Without the sun there is no shade
Darkness only makes you brave
And I am on my way)

Way back home...
Track Name: Hard Times (with Josh Beemish)
Let us pause in life's pleasures
and count it's many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
There's a song that will linger
forever in our ears
Oh, hard times come again no more

While we seek mirth and beauty
And music light and gay
There are frail forms fainting by the door
Though their voices are silent
Their pleading looks will say
Oh, hard times come again no more

Chorus:
It's the song, the sigh of the weary
Oh, hard times, hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered
around my cabin door
Oh, hard times come again no more

It's a sigh that is wafted
across a troubled wave
It's a wail that's heard upon the shore
It's a dirge that is murmured
around a lowly grave
Oh, hard times come again no more
Track Name: Do Well
I will do well by my brother
I will do well in word and deed
I will do well by my brother
'Cuz my brother's done well by me

I will do well by my sister
Even though she's cruel and cold
I will do well by my sister
'Cuz her hatred is burden enough

I will do well by my family
Though blood never meant much to me
I will do well by my family
They've taken good care of me

Now I will do well by my lover
I will satisfy his every need
I will do well by my lover
Well my lover does fine by me

I will do well by the Spirit
The Spirit is Life and Peace
I will do well by the Spirit
May the Spirit shine from within me
Track Name: Near Mrs.
What's the matter love?
Is it all too much?
I broke you apart, we could not restart
It was the nearest thing to love
When I heard you sing

Everybody falls
It's the weak who fight
Darkness always grows
where you hide the pain
It's the dearest thing
to be free again

Did we slide down
That mystrious rainbow
We were beautiful back then

Did we slide down
That mystrious rainbow
We are beautiful again
