New songs I wrote during 2009

Here are some new songs that I wrote this year...

The Moonshine is Dead

Oh now the sunshine is totally dead
Darling Mary Anna is buttering her bread
Her and her sisters are new to this town
Traveling on rainbows and dressed in black gowns

Let's get all fired up and count down the days
Until we are all amazed

Oh now the moonshine is totally dead
Darling Mary Anna is wrapped up in threads
Her and her brothers are new to this town
Dazed and confused and riding around

Let's get all fired up and count down the days
Until we are all amazed

Of Our Kind

his mind obeys frosty peace

his soul resides within our beasts

but if they growl we do beseech

join us now, join us now, inside us now

we invented ice blue with fire

hoping liars would keep us alive

but the tree of life is built of pine

of our kind, of our kind, it’s all of our kind

black cats roam among our crowd

our allies dressed in feathered crowns

fair weather dancers are rarely found

inside our children, inside us now, inside us now

we invented liars and tears of rain

as if they were free from speckled pain

but our tears are dead and dry as pine

of our kind, of our kind, it’s all our kind

now we know the measured minds

are huddled round the better times

our saddened faces call for rain

but not this time, not this time, not of this time

our vineyards caught out blackest times

we hoped the liars would drink our wine

would raise our spirits tall as pines

of our kind, of our kind, it’s all our kind
