You And Me – written by David Elias
You and me the trails that we travel
Us to see where they may lead to
You and me the roads they unravel
It's hardly a rest stop
The signs can be messed up
Those bumps might confess some
But we still caress 'em
You and me our party's a twosome
We and we, how could we be lonesome
Free to be down paths of our own some
The river is wide
Bending trees side by side
Through the oceans of tide
There for us to decide
Well well well
You and me clear as a daydream
Image to be
Our vision is upstream
You and me
Our vision is upstream
Nothing can change
What our minds haven't made up
The beat's in the heart
Without time we can stay up
The river it's wide
Bending trees side by side
Through the oceans of tide
There for us to decide
Well...

Sleep Song – written by David Elias
Shiver timber
Keep me sleeping
Stairway starway
Lead me rising
Good days
Bad days
Always rising
Shiver timber
Keep me sleeping

September's Season – written by David Elias
On a restless lonesome day
Feeling the weather far away
Looking at some mountains left to climb
I see the wind taking the leaves
I feel the birds taking their leave
The memory of your love not far behind
Watching the window from the door
The both left open as before
The leaving and returning still the same
With only stars over the hill
Pointing to dreams left to fulfill
The whisper in the words and in your name
I've studied nothing far too long
I've written nothing in a song
I've shared a dream aloud, the middle of the day
Now in the darkness of the night
I let my heart recall what's right
And let September's season carry me away

Within - written by David Elias
Everywhere I've been
Reminds me of you
Everyone I've seen
Reminds me too
And everyone I've known
Remains within
And every shirt I've worn
Is torn within
Every morning clear
Reminds me of you
Within our blue green sphere
I'm finding you
Every song I've sung
I sing to you
And every evening sun
I pray for you
And everywhere I go
I go with you
As every season grows
It grows with you
Within this withered field
I stand with you
Within these arms and hands
I stand with you

Before We Go – written by David Elias
He said he didn't see it comin'
She said she didn't see him go
They said it felt a lot like nothing
Sometimes you have to let things go
Before we go
Before we go
Before we go we let things go
He traveled back to green Ohio
She stayed right there New Mexico
Somewhere in between the streams ran so low
Neither could remember what they know
Before we go
Before we go
Before we go we let things go
Somewhere in the back of this old story
A blue memory behind stone hills
The pattern of a desert morning glory
Circles 'round under the sun, open still
Before we go
Before we go
Before we go we let things go

Go Back – written by David Elias
Go back, take me there
Find your way down the winding stair
Go back, take good care
Find your way and you'll find me there
Remember when we lost our way
Just keeping up with the day to day
Take me back I won't forget
How you looked or how you felt

That Pretty Girl - Those 3 Words
- written by David Elias
Thinkin' 'bout another day
Thinkin' bout how it was far away
A sunny breeze an' a summer cloud
Lookin' out over the school yard hill
Thinkin' just how long until
He might be sayin' those 3 words out aloud
Gave his heart away when he was young
Never thinkin' he just let it go
He let it go and it just blew away
And now the summer suns have passed and gone
Dozen other hearts been lost and won
He still got those 3 words yet to say
The sunny afternoon it feels just right
Surrounded by the gold green light
There's a girl in a green dress by his side
Startin' over isn't all that hard
When you put it all behind you
That pretty girl is all you ever need inside

In The Background – written by David Elias
Simple sentences
Dick and Jane
Circle through the clumsy rain
All around the plot is plain
While in the background
This remains
I will buy a drink or two
And watch them pass between me and you
This silver lining shines anew
While in the background
Bon Adieu
There is music, music, music
In the world
There is music, music, alright
There is music in the world
Match your carpet
Paint your walls
Stain your table
Record your calls
Close your window
Hide the blue
Watch the background
Come in view
Call a friend up in the middle of the night
Tell him that your life's alright
But don't forget those final words
That background music that you never heard
There is music, music, music
In the world
There is music, music, alright
There is music in the world

Lychee Ackee - written by David Elias
Lychee Ackee falling
Can you hear me calling
Lychee Ackee falling
Can you hear me calling
I know you the slayer
Can you hear my prayer
I know you the slayer
Can you hear my prayer
Woman of the airfare
Can you meet me up there
Woman of the airfare
Can you meet me up there
Lychee Ackee falling
Can you hear me calling
Lychee Ackee falling
Can you hear me calling
Break the stone in layers
Bury the naysayers
Break the stone in layers
Bury the naysayers
Woman of the airfare
Can you meet me up there

Which Door - written by David Elias
Which door am I falling out
Which door am I falling out
Caught a look at something higher
Couldn't see the way back down
Resurrect the golden choir
I respect the way you hold me now
Which floor am I crawling out
Which floor am I crawling out
Wrote a book about the lonesome flyer
Couldn’t seem to get it to the clouds
Crashed it right into a field of flowers
Petal showers covered hours
Won't you hold me now
Which floor
Which door

Something He Already Knows
– written by David Elias
Staring down all the feelings that confront me
Setting my heart on a little bit of country
Taking a tour of the kind I could confide in
Where winds can blur what the mind has set aside
Standing strong with the arms that should have held you
What took so long just to say what I should tell you
Casting about like a fisherman of sorry
Without a doubt I will leave it til tomorrow
Making my time up on the road I just imagine
Don’t look behind your feet can feel the wings of magic
Passerby of the simplest of pleasure
Sit down to try to regain what you can’t measure
Did I say I was sorry you were leaving
Those yesterdays they were nothing I believed in
Now on this road I can see a little better
And sure enough we’re sure going it together
Staring down all the feelings that confront me
Setting my heart on a little bit of country

Always Yours - written by David Elias
Start it over the end is near darlin'
Write a letter signed sincerely
For the better, always yours, darlin'
Fix a loose strap, nay quite nicer
Raise the old map
Take me higher
For the record, always yours, darlin'
Lose the pattern
Dance for no one
Does it matter in the end
Sign a letter, always yours, darlin'
Hear me asking
What's inside darlin'
Trees can free me
Signed sincerely
For the record, always yours, darlin'
