Morning Light We watched the waves fallin’ up and down And felt our days find new ground Rearranged by the crashing sounds And the light scattering on the water No one knows where the time goes That leaves you far off and cold But all I breath is all I need It’s all I can call my home So I thank you Northwest Sky I thank you open road I thank you morning light For you I’ll never be alone So now everything’s changed, taken a different name Taken a different weight in my life This whole book’s busted open wide I’m just a page drifting away in the night I’m just a page drifting away in the night So I thank you Northwest Sky I thank you open road I thank you morning light For you I’ll never be alone You’re all I can call my home

Clear My Mind Ease my mind with a cup of coffee And your sweet voice singin’ Dylan to me No direction home but we keep on movin’ Come on babe, keep on movin’ with me The sound of the road and the smell of the gas We ain’t got much and we ain’t turnin’ back ‘Cause I’ve been here before and I’ll be here again It feels like i’ve been here everyday since I met you But something takes me like the dark takes the sky It’s the same thing shining Scattering from your eyes It’s the same thing Breaking me tonight ‘Cause there’s this ring in my ears And this buzz in my mind Everytime I wake to the morning light I figure it out about half past five When there’s nothing left to do but just lie down easy Just lie down easy But something takes me Like the dark takes the sky It’s the same thing shining Scattering from your eyes It’s the same thing Breaking me tonight

Fictional 03:58
Fictional I am lost Without your movements In the morning Boil the water Pour it out like the day Slipping away from us Love like a river Easy and aimless Spit me out into The great ocean blue Let salt water fill my wounds And is it all fictional? This ground we stand upon? Never motionless We’re all ripples on a pond Fading out Some days bring silence Some days bring music Oh world, bring me water Bring me light I am waking as your eyes And is it all fictional? This ground we stand upon? Never motionless We’re all ripples on a pond Fading out

I Would Save You Spring has come and gone Like the house where we belonged Like the people we become In time I think you’re searching for that something I think I’m searching for the same thing Don’t it all blur together these days? ‘Cause my eyes can’t see too far When I’m straining them too hard Living light from dying stars Fill in my head Day after day But I would save you if I knew how I would take you into my arms I would tear down those walls you have built I would save you if only I knew how Ya ‘cause nothing’s on my mind Like you are on my mind I got nothing but time for you baby While I’m living my life The only way I know Barreling down this road But who is driving? I can’t tell============ I would save you if I knew how I would take you into my arms I would tear down those walls you have built I would save you if only I knew how
5.
Lover 04:05
Lover What have we done, lover? What have we lost? Is it ourselves, lover? What is the cost? ‘Cause I’ve been so sick, lover And my days they just go by Like the town on this road, lover Like these changing skies But you never call me anymore Just to hear me cry And you never open any windows Just to let in the light So I’m lacing my boots, lover And I’m walking away And I’m leaving my fears, lover Ya I’m letting them stay But don’t look so scared, lover It always happens this way Ya life is a circle, lover You’ll come back to each day See now I’m calling you up Just to hear you cry And I’m opening my windows Just to let in the light
6.
Let’s Get It Right When I picked you up Tried to calm you down We tried to forget it all And get out of town And for a day we did And all we knew was sure to be the truth And we drove so fast Ya the music was too loud I could’t hear my own voice Calling to you And I said Baby, have you had enough? ‘Cause I haven’t had enough And I said Baby Have you had enough? ‘Cause I haven’t had enough Of this love yet So now each day is a skipping stone Ya some go farther than you’d ever know But somedays they just sink and disappear Fade into nothing, but right now I’ve got you here So tell me Baby, have you had enough? ‘Cause I haven’t had enough And I said Baby Have you had enough? ‘Cause I haven’t had enough of this love yet ‘Cause I don’t see my fate Like a pair of dice Ya I’ll take it on Like a bar fight Ya I see my life Through just one pair of eyes It’s such a short time to get it right So let’s get it right

Growin' 03:35
Growin' My bed side is cold Everything I hold seems to Slip right away Faster everyday And dark comes creeping in My nightmares begin Baby where have you been? Will you come home again? And hold me tight And sing away these fears All through the night Baby dry these tears So In the morning First light showing All I know is It feels like we’re growin’ Feels like we’re growin’ together into something Like marigolds in summertime Sitting on the porch all night You let me let my thoughts unwind I filled you with such bitter lines Ya I remember all of them Like how I told you I was at my end You told me I was better than That person I was describing Then you held me tight And sang away these fears All through the night Then you dried these tears And In the morning First light showing All I know is It feels like we’re growin' Feels like we’re growin’ together into something
8.
Clueless Now 03:48
Clueless Now Mouth to the microphone Pen to the page I am an animal But someone gave me a name I’m grateful for this life I’ve been given This mind I live inside But I hope my memories don’t Find somewhere to hide ‘Cause I’m running in circles around Something that’s always changing A flickering street light in the night It’s on, it’s off, it’s on, it’s off again Memories fade and memories grow They change shapes and size But if there’s one thing that I know I never left you behind Cuz nothing’s held me quite like you did So carelessly that night Just two clueless little kids And sometime I wish I was that clueless now

about

There is an innate tenderness about Jeremy Ferrara. His good nature is inescapable, and anyone within earshot of his quavering voice and quiet guitar is likely to swoon in sympathetic reaction. He’s a folksinger, and a song-diviner. His music is as fun as it is finely detailed. His new album Everything I Hold is exemplary of this style. Produced by Mike Coykendall, the LP features just Jeremy, his guitar, and voice, on eight songs that fill the listener with wonder, empathy, and joy.
