Back Yard Camping 04:52

Intro “Oh” Verse 1 Sleeping down by the fireside Dying coals tell me I’m alive There’s nothing like being by your side Tired smile and low voice After all the years you still play it coy You’re still my girl I’m still your boy Pre-Chorus 1 Thirty years have gone so fast Not afraid of looking back All I see is you forever looking into me In such a way as no one can You know my heart you know my hands Every wrinkle on these knuckles Never be too old to cuddle Chorus Autumn leaves and an almost-winter sky Underneath a cold September night I know you’re not the woodsy type So it means the world to me That thirty-year-old wedding rings Could get a little muddy baby now I’m so alright With back yard camping Re-Intro “Oh” Verse 2 Little birds have flown the nest Picture frames are all that’s left Papered walls, and empty beds Pre-Chorus 2 Thirty years have passed us by Now we never have to hide When I look into your eyes I see The girl I made my bride You doze off I lay awake I guess that some things never change Tuck you in so gently Forehead kiss to end our evening Chorus Bridge Take this time Dry it out Pin it up like wild flowers Upside down The world has changed Some things stay the same Chorus Outro “Oh”

Intro Verse 1 You and I don’t know How to do so much More than follow our Friends around the playground When I met you I Wondered if you’d be Up for swinging on This here swing beside me Re-intro Verse 2 You and I don’t know How to do so much More than fit into All our friends’ pajamas When I met you I Thought you couldn’t see ‘Cause your ponytail Seemed a bit restricting Pre-Chorus But, Ohhh Oh Oh Oh You gotta grow Just not so quickly Whoah oh oh oh, you oughta know Darling, Chorus I’ve been waiting I’ve been waiting so long I’ve been waiting ‘Till you came along And I believe You’re gonna let your hair fall down And be a friend to me Re-intro Pre-Chorus 2 But ohhh You gotta grow Just not so quickly Woahh, you oughta know I’ve got your back Ohhh Oh Oh Oh You gotta grow But slowly darling Woahh You’ve got to know B-Section You’ll never be alone You’ll have my hand to hold 
How was I to know Chorus 2 I’ve been waiting I’ve been waiting so long I’ve been waiting ‘Till you came along Verse 3 (Coda) You and I don’t know How to do so much More than follow our Friends around the playground When I met you I Knew that we would be Just the bestest of friends

Now I Know 05:14

Holy vision have not I Any more than when I first laid eyes On the smoky mirrors labeled 'truth' I have got no fountain for my youth But now I know What I don't know Now I know That I am young I've a long way to go Searching for that narrow road The one I'm on ain't even close Even so I don't wanna walk alone I had trusting ears when first I heard Of a higher class of human words Which some can speak but most don't know How to play their part in Sunday's show But now I know What I don't know Now I know That I am young I've a long way to go Searching for that narrow road The one I'm on ain't even close Even so I don't wanna walk alone Oh I don't wanna walk alone Oh (Instrumental) So show me, God, when I don't know how to Keep my feet on the road beside you Hold me, God, I can't live without you I'm done with runnin' further from you Because now I know What I don't know Now I know That I am young I've a long way to go Searching for that narrow road The one I'm on it don't feel like home But I know I don't ever walk alone (Outro)

(Intro) Well there was A touch of grace in the The subtle way that you You follow the flicker out to space Eyes like embers You know the trees remember You growing taller every year Bare feet and bonfire light In the cool grass Of my last night with you I need a little more time Summer's going up like smoke Up and away You and I are growing older But I'll always know you like I did I'll always know you like this Well now you're You're packin' up all the The things you left in the The attic above your old room Running weightlessly Making faces at me Was that so long ago Bare feet and bonfire light In the cool grass Of my last night with you I need a little bit more time Summer's going up like smoke Up and away You and I are growing older But I'll always know you like I did I'll always know you You found yourself a real good man Who holds the door, he holds your hand And I see the way he looks at you And I understand, I understand But carved upon that willow tree Is the crooked heart you made for me You wrote your name over D-A-D You said, 'Daddy come and see' But now I gotta set you free Oh, grow Grow, oh Oh grow Grow, oh etc. Bare feet and bonfire light In the cool grass Of my last night with you I need a little bit more time Summer's goin' up like smoke Up and away You and I are growin' older But I'll always know you like I did I'll always know you like this (Outro)
