Castles In The Sand

Words and Music by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon
I was never one to build a castle in the sand
I would rather watch the tide turn and feel it rolling in my hands
So I wait for kingdom come but there it goes one by one
Waving goodbye and hello again
Yesterday we built a house on all the broken glass
Oh how the shape it changes before our eyes and can never last
So we pray for kingdom come but there it goes one by one
Waving goodbye and hello again
All my love soon will be gone
All will go chasing after the sun
Wheel in the sky, when's it my turn?
How long must I burn?
Say you want to make a home somewhere beyond the shore
Up on a hill so high where the wake can keep from our sleep no more
'Til the day our kingdom comes - oh there it goes one by one
Waving goodbye, waving goodbye and hello again

Almost Heaven
03:47
|

Words and music by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon
There’s an angel in the window
On a West Virginia church door
Swinging open
And he’s pointing to the exit sign
Said “You’ll never walk on water
If you wait until the river’s frozen over
In the Shenandoah summer"
Well it was almost heaven
Choirs singing in robes of white
Almost Heaven
Lovers laying side by side
But when we reach forever
Will there be a place where you and I
May call home?
So I keep a candle burning
And I pray to see that saint I knew
For certain
But it’s just my own reflection now
And that silhouette in the window
Is the shape of someone I don’t quite
Remember
Dancing in the fire
Well it was almost heaven
Choirs singing in robes of white
Almost Heaven
Lovers laying side by side
But when we reach forever
Will there be a place where you and I
May call home?
In heaven
I’ll make a room for you
If you stay your eyes on me now
Lover you can lean on me
Love I can lift you higher
Said I’m making a room for you
Will you keep your eyes on me now
Lover lean on me
Love I can lift you higher
Oh I can lift you higher
Well it was almost heaven
Choirs singing in robes of white
Almost Heaven
Lovers laying side by side
But when we reach forever
Will there be a place where you and I
May call home?
In heaven
May call home?
In heaven

Namesake
03:15

Well I guess you thought I might have been in exile
The son you last saw leaving the station
But tomorrow I'll be coming home to Memphis
And will you look your namesake in the eye?
I wonder
Is there something about my hair you don't remember?
Or have I changed beyond all recognition?
Well look at what the wind blew into Memphis
Now will you look your namesake in the eye
This time around?
Who can forget a sinner like me?
He who will not face his own reflection
Unfold your praying hands old man
Awake from your sleep
Behold the dead are raised in resurrection
Words and Music by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon
Well I guess you might have thought I'd be too far gone by now
But here I am as close as your own shadow
The truth is that I've always stood beside you
And I always will
Well somebody said today's your celebration
And who would I be not to wear a smile
So here's to every road that leads to Memphis
Now will you look your namesake in the eye?
Will you look your namesake in the eye?
Oh will you look your namesake in the eye?
I wonder
Who can forget a sinner like me?
He who will not face his own reflection
Unfold your praying hands old man
Awake from your sleep
Behold the dead are raised in resurrection

Sweet June Nectar

Words & Music by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon
Sweet June Nectar
Filled the air
With your aroma
Jean blouse mornings
Fingers though your hair
Your scent still on me
But how long can you stay
In my arms
Before you go chasing the sun?
Oh, will you remember me like
Sweet June Nectar?
Move in a little closer
I can almost taste it
Come on feed my hunger
And I'm so intoxicated
by your fragrance
But how long can you stay
In my arms
Before you go chasing the sun?
Oh, will you remember me like
Sweet June Nectar?
When you're no longer here with me
I feel so bittersweet
I need June nectar
Sweet June Nectar

Skinny

Words & Music by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon
Skinny
Skinny in love over you
Punch me
Punch me a hole or two
Why am I so frail?
Maybe I should just buy a brand-new belt
But still I am so poor
I’ll take a hammer and nail to knock on your door ‘cause I’m…
Skinny
Skinny in love over you
Punch me
Punch me a hole or two
Worry me so thin
It’s like I’m losing myself when you’re with him
But before I disappear
Another knock so you know that I’m still here ‘cause I’m…
Skinny
Skinny in love over you
Punch me
Punch me a hole or two
Cause I'm
Skinny
Skinny in love over you
Punch me
Punch me a hole or two
Cause I'm
Skinny
Skinny in love over you
Punch me
Punch me a hole or two

Mermentau
02:44
|
|||
Words and Music by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon
You leave in the morning for Mermentau
but you know you can't stay
'Cause you're the phantom of vodka on the kitchen floor
and you forgot how to pray
Saying
"Oh, Mama don't see the same sun as me
As me no more
I'm calling a cab for my own salvation"
I leave in the morning for Mermentau but I know I can't stay
'Cause you're love is no longer an open door
And I'm falling from grace
But maybe it's not falling if I take a leap of faith
And feel forever underneath my feet now
Singing
"Oh, Mama don't see the same sun as me
As me no more
I'm calling a cab for my own salvation"
But where do I go?
Papa can't even look at me
At me no more
Lord won't you send me a chariot
Send it down
Send me a chariot, oh!

Silver Spoon
03:12
|
|||
Words and Music by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon
I ain't gonna feed you with a silver spoon
Eating me under the moonlight, no
I ain't gonna starve watching you dress your plate
With a piece of my heart
But you can take what you need
If you make love to me
Oh you make me hazy
I'm lazy in the morning
Sneaking out the back door on your way to him
I know it
Ask me if I'm jealous for you
Yeah but I don't envy you
'Cause you're feeding me that old shit
With a silver spoon
Who am I to be pointing fingers?
Your silver spoon has become my mirror
Flip me upside down and turn the other way
I'm really just the same
So you can take what you need
If you make love to me
Oh take what you need
And make love to me
I ain't gonna feed you with a silver spoon
Eating me under the moonlight, no
I ain't gonna starve watching you dress your plate
With a piece of my heart

Mary Ann

Words and Music by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon
Mary Ann you never knew me
You thought you found some blue-eyed wonder
But I would've drank the Mississippi
Just to keep from going under
Oh Missouri won't you show me
How I really ought to tell her
That I couldn't stop the Mississippi
River walls from spilling over
Hold your breath a little longer
Mary Ann
Don't go dancing under water
Though you're lighter than the air down there
I'm gonna drink the Mississippi
I'm gonna drink 'til I go blue
I'm gonna drink the Mississippi
Then you'll know how much I care

Concerning the Void
03:04
|
|||
Words and Music by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon
I'm keeping no score
I don't wanna fight anymore
I'm standing in the need of conversation
Concerning the void
The peonies have passed
Drop petals like punches on my chest
I'm falling in between your crescent Eden
And into the void
Into the void
Blush blood red on my punch punch chest into pieces
Jump jump into the dark I'm not scared if you're with me
Blush blood red on my punch punch chest into pieces
Jump jump into the dark I'm not scared if you're with me
Are you with me?
Your hair's faded to blonde
Like peonies passing away in the sun
Your love is losing all its color
But I'm keeping no score
Keeping no score

Century Man
04:24
|
|||
Words and Music by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon
It was getting close to midnight when the clocks forgot their face
And all my life was frozen in a frame
I had one hand in my pocket with a watch on a silver chain
Waiting on the centuries to change
But now that I'm older I can hide away
Knowing that in time I'll see the day
Now that I'm older I can hide away
Knowing that in time I'll find my place
Well I'm moving on without you in the morning when I wake
Moving out when freedom calls my name
You can keep what's in your pocket and your watch on a silver chain
You'll never own the dreams that I have made
No you'll never own the dreams that I have made
Now that I'm older I can hide away
Knowing that in time I'll see the day
Now that I'm older I can hide away
Knowing that in time I'll find my place
Now that I'm older I can hide away
Knowing that in time I'll see the day
Now that I'm older I can hide away
Knowing that in time I'll find my place
