The love shines on you
Her love shines on you through me

A-Days
04:50

Have you ever felt ashamed
You didn't want to be a burden
But the years drift quietly away
And no one knows
Life is so full of thoughts
And you had something to share
But it was so crowded there
You watched it go
Lover to the rescue
Why can't you feel your heart
Days
Some days are better than others
Are all
Every day gets a little grade
The same
How many A-days have you made this year
Sitting with your notebook
Frowning in the garden bed
I ask if you want a walk
If you'd like a drink
You come with me to the store
Anything to get out of this place
Maybe some kind of program
With no time to think
Friends all in a chorus
You have so much to give
Days
Some days are better than others
Are all
Every day gets a little grade
The same
How many A-days have you made this year
So you grip tighter still
Hoping that tomorrow will
Haven't seen you in a long time
Now I hope you're doing well
You never were a burden on
I'm sorry for worrying

Downtown
03:42

I desire nothing higher
Than to go downtown
With the beggars and deniers
Just to be around
Around the time the light turns fine
And all the wine is shining in its glasses
I'll be making passes
At the ones who draw the lights
Downtown
I'll be fool and you'll be queen
When the moon's around
And we'll pool everything
In the round
Even though we can't hold on
It just passes through our fingers
The giving lingers
We'll give it all away
Downtown
You gotta leave me, that's alright
I'm down
And you believe me, and that's alright
I'm proud
The night is fine, it cuts the rind
Off of the kindness in my heart
Now I know just where to start
I feel just like a part
Downtown
Downtown
Downtown

Me & My Girl
03:24
|

Last night we got so drunk
Tonight is just a grace
Watering the garden
While the purple sky fades
And the moon is a smudge of paint
Over the roof
And the rent piling up overdue
For me and my girl
Sometimes I feel it so bad
I want to move her like a doll
Tonight I just watch her in the yard
Barely standing up at all
She ain't had time to make no friends
But she's kind to mine
What one or two we see from time to time
Me and my girl
We don't have much
But we don't have to use it
Worrying about things
We can't control
And we'll always have
Memories of this place
When it was ours
Helicopter sounds
Chopping through the night
She puts her face in the crook of my neck
All warm and bright
Then we go inside
And wonder what we'll do
About dinner, and about the future too
Me and my girl

Sorry In Advance

What you heard was the truth
No one had the impact that you do
I lost my way, led astray
By my mistress Mary Jane
Now you're gone
And it's clear
That my songs
Won't make you dance
Sorry in advance
What I want is to be
Wild fun young and free
But with my hands on the keys
Every note is breaking me
And now I'm gone
And it's clear
That I've fallen
Into a trance
Sorry in advance
Oh just what you needed
Another sad boy
Listen to him cry
He's gonna get high
Bye bye
And now we're gone
And it's clear
That there's no
Second chance
Sorry in advance
Sorry in advance
Sorry in advance

Sun, sun
Golden sun
Please shine down on
Oh please shine down on me
Mom, mom
Can you hear me mom
Your son is starting
Your son is starting to sing
Love, love
Do you feel the love
The love is pouring
The love is pouring through me
La la la, la la la
Son, son
Do you hear me son
The love shines on you
Her love shines on you through me
Gone, gone
And when I'm gone
The song will be yours
This song will be yours to sing
La la la, la la la
Sun, sun
Golden sun
Oh please shine down on
Oh please shine down on me
La la la, la la la

Easy always scores
But it doesn't always win
It might show one thing
About the game we're in
Meet me on the tile floor
In a half a minute
I have a friend I see
Every tenth time I try
He gets his kicks
From getting tried
And the girl for him's
Got to have bars like a crib
And a mouth that gives
And a tongue that takes
And a whip to cut the flesh
And a knife to cut the steak
And he told me roses smell great
And all, but
Easy always scores
And it's always gonna score
I met the next big thing
She's still hanging around
She got a body that makes you feel
Upside down and inside out
And her eyes float around like smoke
And if you're a beast yourself
You might split the yoke
Easy always scores
And scoring always wins
But it don't feel like a game
When they are vicious in the stands
I've got a safe place around my neck
For your hands
Easy always scores
And I like its demands

Muse

I always tried to heal myself
Calling the muse just to feel myself
But if I called the muse for you
Oh, if I called the muse for you
Sixteen ships are in my fleet
Sixteen ships sleeping at my feet
But if I sailed a ship for you
Oh, if I sailed a ship for you
If I sailed a ship for you
I put on a play and no one came
No one even knows my name
But if I only played for you
Oh, if I only played for you

If She Could See Me Now
05:01

She usually smiled like strings were pulled
And her eyes kept looking through
I made her smile all the way to the top
And played her mind like a flute
Then I woke up with a dream
Still burning in my head
And she was gone
Rain was falling and I went outside
To run it through my hand
Birds were winging and people were bringing
Their children in
Something in the tops of the trees was stirring
Feelings I'd forgot
Or didn't know
And I didn't know til now
Maybe I'm lonely here
Maybe I'm lonely here
If she could see me now I'd appreciate it
Just to think I'm not alone here
If she came to me again
In a world that seemed so real
And we had a conversation
She would show me how I feel
For she and I were split at birth
Or just before we came to Earth
And got
So unsure
And I didn't know til now
Maybe I'm lonely here
Maybe I'm lonely here
If she could see me now I'd appreciate it
Just to think I'm not alone here
And I didn't know til now
Maybe I'm lonely here
Maybe I'm lonely here
If she could see me now I'd appreciate it
Just to think I'm not alone here
That I'm not alone here
I'm not alone here

Do you have the same thoughts as me
Do you want to know the same things at the same time
Do our thoughts rhyme
I don't know what you mean
At least it's interesting
My friend
Lying on the floor
What's the ceiling for
Again, again
Do you have the same thoughts as me
Do you want to know the same things at the same time
Does it feel fine
Take this shade of blue
I wonder if you see it too
My friend
What are these colors for
Painting on your door
Again, again
La la la lalala la
La la la lalala la
La la la lalala la
La la la lalala la
Do you really understand
Do you really understand
Do you really understand
Time is comfortable
What are you running for
My friend, my friend
Do you have the same thoughts as me
Do you want to know the same things at the same time
Do our thoughts rhyme
Remember when you found me here
I didn't know the first thing from the last line
Now our thoughts rhyme
Now our thoughts rhyme
Now our thoughts rhyme
Now our thoughts rhyme

Paperboat Nashville, Tennessee
During the 2020 pandemic, two friends traveled to a childhood home and locked themselves in to make music.
........................... They created the band Paperboat, and an album called Big Tent. The album portrays a grand show happening inside of a tent, a world inside the rest of the world, filled with excitement, abandon, and love, both big and small.
