Hellos and Goodbyes We’re always come and go, you know The hardest thing to do is stand still We come by intuition Then leave when we’ve had our fill We move in one direction And cultivate connection Then lose it all to watch the sun rise But there’s a time for hellos And there’s a time for goodbyes No final destination Has ever mattered more than the climb Like looking out the windows of a bus Al...

Kentucky I left Kentucky when I was ten Trouble’s been following me since then You never know what’s around the bend But darkness won’t ever let me be My sister died ‘fore I was born Her shadows taller than the corn Mama tried running from the devil’s horn But he took her down and now he’s coming for me Can’t catch me I never knew daddy and I never asked why Thinking bout him only made mama cry Bu...

The Banquet Grammy’s been givin As long as she’s been livin A little over 96 years And now she’s going for a ride To the other side And though there’ll probably be a few tears She’s smiling and knowing That she’s bound for going To a heaven and a lord that’s fair Where her Hughie will be waiting And they’re already plating For a gala with a heavenly flare She’ll be going to the banquet At the top...

30 Day Husband- ep 3: The Six Commandments by Adam Dunetz

Time to do it to it baby We’ve been talking about it for so long And every time we wait, kick the can or hesitate Too afraid of doing it wrong It just pushes us further and further away From where we’re both trying to be We could go for it and fail, chase our own tails But in the end we’d still be you and me And waiting for a picture perfect moment It’s like waiting for a sign to seem heaven sent...

30 Day Husband ep. 1: Touching Toes by Adam Dunetz

It’s always been easy For me to be alone Not bothering anybody Or making things muddy It’s always been so much Simpler on my own Keeps me from crossing lines Or missing signs Of all the things to take a toll Tending my own indentured soul Doesn’t even make the list Ever digging out from another hole A deficit of verbal impulse control Per my therapist And she’s never missed She has never missed I’...

Mama’s in the kitchen She’s crying by the door The cake that she been baking All crumbled on the floor Don’t look at me mama It was like that when I found it Papa’s gone a missing Since mama got home Tonight he’ll be sleeping In the cellar all alone When something don’t look right mama There ain’t no two ways around it Mama and pop they’ve been going non-stop Like an 18 wheeler and a train It’s a...

You might not like the mess you made But now your welcome’s overstayed So go ahead, sit alone and cry You can drown in all your sorrows Or save them for another guy Do what you want but darling Don’t dissimulate or say we didn’t try I can’t shake this feeling in my heart I should have known it from the start And maybe you don’t want to hear the truth But I’m laying it on the line now Cause I don’t...

Sitting here watching the paint dry Thinking bout you I know you’re out there somewhere Doing the best you can do Take the time you need to roam You deserve to feel complete on your own And tell me all about it When you get home Busy rearranging the furniture Thinking bout you Trying hard not to anticipate When you might come through We don’t need to talk about money I’ll just laugh when you say s...

Hey I heard you just got back today From a work trip in LA Nothing new around here And I’ll just say If you come around my way Two minutes off the highway I’ll let you bend my ear Some bags you need to lay down just outside the door You’ve been carrying them for so long but you don’t need them anymore Time to call the tailor for a better fit But first things first, you’ve gotta to get over it Call...

A frog becomes a prince Upon a kiss from his true love Constellations from below Look different from above A sullen heart one tick away From unspeakable delight And it’s alright, yeah it’s alright A day it ends exactly Once a new day has begun An axis in a steady state of Spinning towards the sun And what’s the point in dreaming If we only dream at night But it’s alright, baby it’s alright You can...

You’ve got a lot of balls up in the air Never one to go the safest route You took a detour on a dare Now I’m looking forward to checking it out There’s no limitation on your imagination You shoot unscripted on location In the dead of night You set your feet and see it through It’s all I’ve ever seen you do In the easy light You took up painting just a year ago Now you’re selling out the gallery Yo...

I thought I knew you But I guess I never knew you at all You led me on Before you led me astray I’ve been sitting here for hours Waiting for you to call It never had to be this way I gave you more than I Gave anyone before I had a room reserved with every amenity You changed your mind But did you need to rob me blind Was it a case of mistaken identity You’re like a see saw up and down Then it’s no...

When the sun goes down In a quiet town The streets are dark Not a soul around In a quiet town At the foot of a Round and rolling hill The shops are closed And the streets are still In a quiet town The moon’s alone not a dog in sight It’s the quiet start to a quiet night In a quiet town The shades are drawn Like a silhouette The oven’s hot And the table’s set For the daily bread Children go on Abou...

You don’t always know when it’s time to go Till the walls cave in or you stub your toe And the window’s closed cause you move too slow to fly I keep a bag packed, one foot out the door Ain’t nothing keeping me around here anymore I’ve got a tank full of gas and I’ll be gone by the 4th of July Lord knows life ain’t always a hallmark movie But it keeps coming at you, good and bad, ready or not Inste...

Tennessee’s been calling to me for a little while I’ve never been more than taking a spin down a country mile At night I go there in my dreams Float above cool mountain streams Nothing had ever been as it seems Until I seen you smile I’ve watched the stars come out one by one on a winter night I’ve seen fireflies dance on a meadow in the moonlight If it’s too forward, then I beg your pardon But if...

You’re riding on the L train You’re studying a new maze You’re up until the sunrise You’re headed to the next phase Moving up the ladder Fighting through some old ways Open up the curtains You’re headed to the next phase One day your stitches will be but a scar (you’ll wear them like a badge of honor) And you know you’ve already come so far Now you’re riding on the L train Not thinking bout the ol...

I’ve got a secret That fits in my hand And I mean to keep it for now You understand And I’m on an airplane And you’re on the sea And one day we’ll marry Underneath the sycamore tree Laughter lasts like late summer rain Thistle and down dance in auburn hair You blithely beg me to please explain But when I open my hand There’s nothing there I’ve got a secret If you’ve got a dime But I aim to keep it...

Winter’s coming haven’t seen you round here for a while Frost has covered the ground where you walked away Fevered strumming like a new religion on trial Down and out about the time I tried to make you stay Corner table At the Cafe New endcap name your price so we can hang a sign Go low but don’t step over the invisible line Straight shot, now you can toss it in the cart with mine Two for one as l...
