1. We Carry On Before the Rain Comes Coming Down
©Newland Moorefield, 2018, ASCAP
Tie your horse to this post
Let’s give him some water
Then we’ll let him run free through these fields
As we dig for our silver
In the cold mountain air
We run free for our freedom
And in the glowed indigo
And in the moonlit tomorrows
We carry carry carry on oohh
Before the rain comes coming down
We carry on
Before the rain the rain the rain comes coming down
You say "don’t tread on me" with a gun in my face
Let Mama feed this baby boy
And I count to 1, 2, 3
And then I’m going deep
Saving all that they destroy
Tie your horse to this post
Let’s give him some water
Then we’ll let him run free through these hills
As we mine our silver
And in the glowed indigo
And in the moonlit tomorrows
We carry carry carry carry on
Before the rain comes coming down
2. Sunflowers

I stand before you naked
Undaunted and fearless
I have no doubt you'd lie with me
Days go by in silence
Except for our laughter
We hide in here together so free
In the sunflowers
In the sunflowers
With you
You're my hero too
Like a sapphire in the sunlight
You're the one who comes through
You're my savior too
Come to this water
Look at all my love for you
We stand inside these florets of golden chandeliers
We're lost inside their quiet graces
We turn with the sun, dancing to the east
We're in this together, you and me
3. Tall Jesus
©Newland Moorefield, 2018, ASCAP
Three miles past the ball fields
And past two gas stations
Deep in the blackberry hills
You hear sweet incantations
Where there's a tall Jesus
On a tall mountain
With his arms open
As if he can reach down
And touch you from the sky
Children play with fireflies
When daddy's struck by white lightning
Then Mama makes it up the mountain
To stare in Jesus' eyes
She's with the tall Jesus
On the tall mountain
With his arms open
As if he can reach down
And touch you from the sky
And I'll be damned if they're not saved
I'll be damned if they're not saved
I'll be damned if they're not saved
I'll be damned if they're not saved
By the tall Jesus
On the tall mountain
With his arms open
As if he can reach down
And touch you from the sky
4. Say I Love You
©Newland Moorefield, 2018, ASCAP
If I wake up tomorrow
And we're still not okay
You have to know I forgive you
But I'm going to leave anyway
The keys are by the front door
The car is parked by the side
I can leave tomorrow or
I can leave tonight
Say, say
I love you
Say I love you
I know you do I know you do I know you do
I'll turn on the coffee pot for you
And I'll turn down the bed
5. California
©Newland Moorefield
Pack up everything and just ride
I'm leaving with a crawling baby into the night
With just enough food and water to get to the other side
And there's enough of that wind blowing
To make me blind
I cannot find my footfalls on this invisible line
Oh California I thought you'd take good care of me
Oh California don't leave me here in need
I put my daughter in the backseat
And say goodbye
We're dirty and we're dusty
On this dark dirty night
She's loaded up with lawyers
Who will make sure she sleeps tight
Oh California I thought you'd take good care of me
Oh California don't leave us here in need
6. Ooh Yah Yeah, Good Times
©Newland Moorefield, 2018, ASCAP
Follow that woman dancing in the yard
She wears a skirt of fire
She got at the fire skirt bazaar
She jumps into the ocean
From the ocean ride
They found her four days later
Surfing the riptides
Singing ooh yah yeah
Good times
Ooh yah yeah
Good times good times
Ooh yeah ooh yeah ooh yeah ooh yeah
Follow that man waiting for a storm
She sits down beside him and charts a fiercer course
She puts her arms around him and turns his face to hers
A hurricane blows sugar as she kisses up a storm
Singing ooooh yah yeah oooh yah yeah good times
7. Another Day
©Newland Moorefield, 2018, ASCAP
Well these words are for the dispossessed
Lay your head down here and try to get some rest
And when our heroes come
We can hedge our bets
And live and love and be in life with no regrets
Because tomorrow is another day
Another day
And we can write this another way
Another way
And when we close our eyes
We can fly away for a while
For a while
My Mother told me once, "just be cool"
Settle into a quiet life but never suffer fools
But when I lose my mind what am I to do?
Turn darkness into light and just move on through
Because tomorrow is another day
Another day
We can write this another way
Another way
Another way
And when we close our eyes
And just fly away
For a while, for a while
8. Come to Me
©Newland Moorefield, 2018, ASCAP
Oh all of this freedom
I swear it frightens me
And I have fallen on my sword now
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
And my body, it fails me
Come on home
Come on home
Ohhhh come home to me
Ohhhh come to me
And the fire is burning
But there's no one home to see
And I know we're still learning, yeah
How to be free
But oh, oh I'm in Heaven
When you're next to me
And ohh give me one reason
To get a fix on my needs
Oh my body, it fails me
Come on home
Come on home
Ohh come home to me
9. Tears of Gold
©Newland Moorefield, 2018, ASCAP
I will take what's tumbled down
And turn it all around
On its ear its ear its ear
I'll trade places with the sun
And burn that old house down
With its fear its fear its fears
And I oohh I will fly home
And I will cry tears of gold
And I will find my old bird cage
And I will sing the sweetest songs
And I will find my old shadow
And I will turn the lights on
And I will ohhh I will cry tears of joy
And I will cry tears of gold
And I ohhh I will fly home
And I will cry tears of gold
10. All This Walking
©Newland Moorefield, 2018, ASCAP
Well we're one day forgotten
Don't take me to my knees
You drove too far
And too fast
For me
But I would walk away
Or buy you roses
If you would one day
Stop loving me
But I would swear by
All this walking
If it would one day
Make me free

Two Angels
©Newland Moorefield
I'm traveling with two angels
Under a dark New Mexican sky
I don't know where we're going
I just know it's another star-filled night
Fires burn on the hillside
Acres gone in a day
The rain is too late and too scattered
To save this place
Fly with two angels
Travel light my friends
And come back to this glory
Where the Red River bends
Not Broken,
©Newland Moorefield
Broken
Whose side are you on?
I can't feel you
Are you really gone?
Days and nights I've wasted trying
To help you I'm not here I'm not here
I'm not broken
But you filled the battlements with ammunition
And you shot the enemy down
So distance is everything
And
You
Can't
Get
To
Me
I'm not broken
No
I'm not broken
