Friend 01:39
I've been getting on for a long, long, long time Without a friend Said, "I don't need anyone by my side." Doing fine without my friend. I caught my reflection in a cloudy mirror, Not knowing who I am Where have all my friends gone? I'm just looking for my friend I know I heard my friend, I know I saw my friend Have you seen my friend? Have you seen my friend?? Have you seen my friend?!? I'm just looking for my Friend.

Pennsylvania 02:16
Just like the Hawk hunting the Snake, I know even darkness must pass Waiting for the sun to shine through, I know where I belong I know to go home, Telling me to go home When I go the whole world And when I'm going home When I go on home Everything turning to gold, when I go home When I go home I turn to gold.

Blackberries 03:51
Off of one old outlook on the daylight's rise She weaves Gliding on the Hawk's wing On the top ridge the prolific palette, Presented in the spring, Reflects from her view Blackberries in your hand Picked from our own land The mountain and the rocks Ringing on the wind She watches as our wandering minds Echo one another Now wait, For a stir of the wind Blackberries in your hand Picked from our own land The mountain and the rocks Ringing on the wind.

Even when I'm hidden Under the Left Eye You know I see you down there Now I'm coming back she's still attracting my mind Where will I find her hand? We're going so high Now I'm coming back a chance is haunting my mind Girl, I'll find the colours Are they purple or grey? Even when I'm hidden Under the Left Eye We'll go out in bare toes in a perfect autumn time, Lose our grey clothes and watch the purple lines Now I'm coming back she's still attracting my mind Where will I find her hand? We're going so high Now I'm coming back the chance is haunting my mind Girl, I've found the colours Were they purple or grey?

Ghost Dance 02:57
If I only knew my name I could tell you why I'm looking for the Ghost If I only knew my name I could tell you why I'm wandering, Why I'm wondering if the Ghost Dance Will be my cure If she only knew my name.. It was moons ago I hear you It was moons ago I'd known my name I could let my mind rest easy if these temporal dreams would be so long, I would never know when I'm awake. If she only knew my name No one could get hurt If I only knew the cure I would tell you why I'm waiting here, Why I'm wondering if the Ghost Dance will be our peace It was moons ago I hear you, I see you, I'd known my name The trail of temporal dreams you left for me to find you when I wake It'll come to me when I've found the Ghost.

When everyone was singing "Music is Love" And freak flags were flying high It's just my generation not having something to die for Oh my, what's the reason to ride for? Where is my someone to die for? Take me to the outside, take me to the plains When I hear their demands I just take up the reins And watch as their eyes close Oh we'll ride onto our meadow Wake! Wake and ride to our meadow With the Martyr in the Meadow Oh we'll ride into our meadow Gonna find our idol to die for Freak flag won't fly for a fool no more Wake! Wake and ride to our meadow Martyr in the Meadow.

Wake 03:09
Maybe we are in some kind of dream And when we Wake up we are alive You better Wake up You've been awake I have found myself in some kind of nightmare Will I be tossed from my bed? I might end up in your head It's strange when I come back to the above and see I've lost my love I've lost a sign to keep me in time And when my hand begins to blur I can't tell whether I need to Wake Make me Wake. It's strange..

He comes home to no one, he is alone Knowing only his thoughts, I know how he thinks He is the only one Just singing his song to no one Just him and his friends he knows in his head Can't you find him a friend? The Loner, You are a Loner. Knowing only one. You Are a Loner, Exactly Where You Are Just looking for a friend.. You Are a Loner, Exactly Where You Are.

Wyoming 02:35
I have waited so long for the birds to carry me Way out west where my soul belongs Where the Wrays of sun will shine down on me Well my right eye caught a wing of the Hawk I gave my bird love, I gave it sight So I could find my old soul When I get out to Wyoming Searching for a sense of myself I found it here I been told about my old soul, but now I know I found this old soul out in Wyoming.

Buddy II 02:13
Life is short, Death is sure The hour of death remains obscure A soul you have and only one If that be lost all hope is gone.
