Brandon Bay

Music & Lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

Hey! Hey! We’ve been waitin’ now for the thunder/Bells are ringin’ and it’s no wonder Place to place I got no plunder/Made a deal I’m not goin’ under My way, I’m on my way, I get lost just every day But I always find my way to Brandon Bay - Hey! Huh! Not a thought now to the pander/Play the show and there’s no surrender And I say now in all my candor/No trick, so take a gander, well Give a thought or lend a hand or/Stop and think is it just confession or Just a way to make you feel better/Either way, I think He’s showin’ the way I’m on my way, I get lost just every day But I always find my way to Brandon Bay - Hey! I’m on my way, I’m on my way, I get lost just every day But I always find my way to Brandon Bay Is this the place that’s closer to the ground/Or everyday is well a treasure to be found No none of us are ever understood/All our dreams go through our lives just like driftwood And they’re in my way Outta my way, I get lost just everyday But I always find my way to Brandon Bay - Hey! I’m on my way, on my way, I get lost just every day But I always find my way to Brandon Bay Yes I always find my way to Brandon Bay Yes I always find my way

Ringmaster

Music & Lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

How many years in the circus now? It gets so hard to tell the clowns from the crowd And all this time, now what do you know... I’ve been the star of my own freak show So it goes, so it goes So I spend my days like a scarecrow now I’m kinda propped up, but I’m kinda still down And I squint into that setting sun Hold steady now, for the night shall come And I can’t run, no I can’t run Oh and crow after crow, the tempt me to forget All the things that I own, and those I don’t yet But that’s a sucker’s bet Its want and regret Now the bedside novel has got its cover bent And something wicked, well, well that way went So I swallow up that fading light And I choke a little bit, but that’s alright It’s oh so bright, my spotlight It’s oh so bright, its my spotlight So tell me... How many years in the circus now? You fall so many times can’t tell the clowns from the crowd 

St. Patrick’s Well

Music & Lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

Don’t mind the water, well I’m burning inside/And I’ll no longer settle for the thrill of the ride With brick by brick I’ll pave/A way out of this tunnel that I’ve made I’m wrapped up in spirals and I’m waiting for you/Walking in circles oh what should I do But don’t say that I’m falling, when I already fell/Now everyday oh everyday, I climb St. Patrick’s Well Again I’m the villain who can’t find the crime/Yes I’m lost for a reason and it’s played out of time And word by word I’ll say/Oh the story of my best mistake I am wrapped up in spirals and I’m waiting for you/Walking in circles oh what should I do But don’t say I’m falling, when I already fell/Now everyday yes everyday, I climb St. Patrick’s Well Well I’m so far below but I’m taking my time/There’s no way I’m never reaching the sky Cause I’ll climb so high, yes I’ll climb, I’ll climb/And I’ll fall just to find, that I’m alive, so alive And note by note I’ll play/Oh the song of the very first day I was wrapped up in spirals I was waiting for you/Just walking in circles now what should I do Well I’m wrapped up in spirals and I’m waiting for you/Just walking in circles now what should I do Don’t say that I’m falling, when I already fell/Oh everyday yes everyday, I climb St. Patrick’s Well Yes everyday oh everyday, everyday, it’s everyday/Everyday yes everyday, I climb St. Patrick’s Well 

Sally In the Bog

Music & Lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

Well I thought I would be the county fair star/Said Sally in the bog, said Sally in the bog Now I’m taking myself away and afar/I’m gonna drive thorough the fog, and get lost lost in the fog Cause I lost my prize to my very good friends/Said Sally in the bog, said Sally in the bog It twisted and tied out all my loose ends/So I drank down the grog, yeah I drowned in the grog I saw Nancy and Katy take the best of all turns/They sang that minor third and I got lost in the swerve And then they laughed all day as the drove away/They laughed all day Yeah, I thought I would be such a big, big star! Well I tried to say what was running through my mind/But something got messed up and stuck in the cog Now I’m thinking of the ways that I could never find /Poor Sally in the bog, poor sally in the bog But I went down and sat next to her /Though I hadn’t a word, I hadn’t a word I wished I’d have laid next to her/I didn’t have the nerve Yeah, it’s hard to be such a great big star! I saw Nancy and Katy take the best of all turns/They sang a minor fifth and I got lost in the swerve And that don’t sound right, and I think it’s so I/I know it’s so absurd..... But I thought I would be such a big, big star! Sally, sad Sally, Sally said “I wanna run”/Sally, sad Sally, Sally said “I wish I won” Sally, sad Sally, Sally won’t you have some fun?/Sally, sad Sally, Sally said, Sally sad Said Sally in the bog , Sally in the bog/Sally in the bog, Sally in the Bog Said Sally in the bog , Sally in the bog/Yeah, I wanted to be such a big, big star!

Postcards From the Stage Music & Lyrics - Andrew D. Huber

Did you have a show today?/Were there a lot of people there? Did you get the crown to sing along?/Did you get to play my favorite song? Sometimes I am not liked so much I don’t play the songs I could’ve sung I don’t play the ones that even hit the charts/Sometimes, I set myself apart But I get there early, and set the stage//Give all my heart, and then drive away Sometimes my songs ring loud and true/And the crowd will sing until we’re through And how I’ll wish that you were there to hear that oneSometimes, the victory bell gets rung But I get there early, and set the stage/Give all my heart, and then drive away Then drive away, then drive away/Then drive away, then drive away And last someone asked me can I play the latest rage?/While I was singing postcards from the stage And sometimes I’m just singing to the tender at the bar/And she wonders, why I’d ever drive so far Just to play, and live out loud/Cause on that stage, I feel so proud And I’ll keep looking, I’ll keep looking/Until I find, my crowd Did you get to talk between the songs?/And maybe tell the one about that one Day where everything went wrong, /And how you wrote it down into that perfect song? I got there early, and I set the stage/Gave all my heart, and then I drove away I drove away, well I drove away/I drove away, then I drove away And I’ll keep looking, I’ll keep looking out/‘Til I find my crowd I’ll keep looking, just keep looking out/‘Til I find my crowd

Harbourland

Music & Lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

I lost a reason here out form the shore/I was clear for a moment but never much more Too much or too little, too early too late/I lost a reason now I’m clinging by faith The days get so lonely way out on our own/Still I keep thinking, where’d the time go I’m stuck in the coldest embrace/Not a trace of affection is gonna burn through my face So I’ll pull the lines, in front of the gales/And bring myself back to land Its homeward bound, will I be found?/When I’m back in harbourland And I hit the keys almost every time/But my signal was blind, my signal was blind The house it was standing, the light it did keep/But I was asleep.... There’s water for healing, so water I'll take/but I’ve got a thirst that never will break I’m choking, on the fear and regret/Of every last chance that I cant forget So I’ll pull the lines, in front of the gales/And bring myself back to land Its homeward bound, will I be found?/When I’m back in harbourland Its homeward bound, will I be found?/When I’m back in harbourland.

Mockingbird Gallows

Music & Lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

Don’t do gown to mockingbird gallows/Don’t you be so led astray Don’t go down to mockingbird gallows/Oh my brothers stay away I hear the train comin’ and its go now go/Every single one of us standin’ in a row I’m lookin’ to the left and lookin’ to the right/Looking up above me now day and night Put into the box car and what do I see/I got every little demon staring back at me Pullin’ at my feathers and spittin’ on my wings/And they’re tearin’ at my throat ‘til I can’t sing Don’t do gown to mockingbird gallows/Don’t you be so led astray Don’t go down to mockingbird gallows/Oh my sisters stay away I jumped the car and I cleared that track/My heart ain’t dead and it aint pitch black I’m a renegade runnin’ now oh my soul/This ain’t over cause I can’t let go But oh my God it’s hard to breathe/When I know the ones that are haunting me And every single day it’s a grin and a stitch/And oh that karma it’s a son-of-a-bitch So I won’t do gown to mockingbird gallows/I won’t led be astray I won’t down to mockingbird gallows/Oh my God there’s hell to pay And oh these chains I can’t break free/Well each damn day their waitin’ for me Walk that track and I take my time/Oh yes I claim this life oh I..... First heard about it when I was a kid/It’s the place with the truth of everything you did Mockingbird sing, gonna make you cryThere ain’t no lullabye.... (I) won’t do gown to mockingbird gallows/No those sins won’t come my way I won’t down to mockingbird gallows/Oh my God there’s hell to pay... I won’t do gown to mockingbird gallows/No those sins won’t come my way I won’t down to mockingbird gallows/Oh my God there’s hell to pay... There’s hell to pay/There’s hell to pay/There’s hell to pay

Dimming Music & Lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

I went out for fortune, I found lots of waiting there And barely now the sight of gain, collected for to share And ask above her are you there? And what now can we do? Except cast a net and say a prayer, and hope it’s getting through And I’m not taken by the moon nor stolen by the sun It's just I feel so far away and the dimming has begun Trouble stirring in the water now, with every wave to scare Up the mermaids with a cry a nd they can’t swim nowhere Now if you find yourself in town tell my love I say hi Cause there are days that I think of her and those days are all the time And I’m not taken by the moon nor stolen by the sun It's just I feel so far away and the dimming has begun Where does a lost dream go? I guess it’s anybody’s guess Look me on the outside still, another fool who put it to rest If these words don’t find their way it's not cause their untrue I cast my net and I said a prayer and I hope it’s getting through And I’m not taken by the moon nor stolen by the sun It's just I feel so far away and the dimming has begun No I...... I....... It's just I feel so far away and the dimming has begun Yeah, it's just I feel so far away 

Singin’ Til I Sail

Music & Lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

I’ve got a story to tell, and I’m not leaving til I’m done Its the tale of three tales, I’m the villian in each one So get a pint and grab a shot cause I’m headed for the docks Strike the chord and bring the ale cause I’m singin’til I sail There’s the heart that I did kill, though no precious blood did spill Oh I smiled and took her hand, but from there I had no plan Save to rove from shore to shore , with the songs I cant ignore And for confession of the rest, no you will not be so blessed So get a pint and grab a shot cause I’m headed for the docks Strike the chord and bring the ale cause I’m singin’ ‘til I sail Pull the anchor, strike the waves cause I’m on to better days Bring the whiskey and the rye cause I’m playin’ ‘til I die And there’s the town that I stole from, but it’s not the way it sounds There was a show I had to play, and I knew no other way Than to bring a different sound, than all the other bands that I found I put their limelight in my pack, and I’m never looking back So get a pint and grab a shot cause I’m headed for the docks Strike the chord and bring the ale cause I’m singin’ til I sail Grab a glass and raise it high, we’ll never say goodbye Who’s to say, win or fail, I’m singing til I sail Hey! Hey! Now I cant forget chapter three, It’s the best of crimes you’ll see I’ll take from you my good friends, every voice, every hand So sing it loud and raise ‘em high, you don’t have to get it right Just be part of the show, you know it’s not quite time to go I’m gonna bring you to the song, clap your hands and sing along Sing it loud and raise em high, stomp your feet and bring the fight Feel your heart, stir your soul, it’s the best of things you’ll know Climb aboard and we can’t fail, when we’re singin’ til we sail We go way, hey, away we go Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! We go way hey away.... Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! So get a pint and grab a shot cause I’m headed for the docks Bring the whiskey and the rye cause I’m playin’ ‘til I die Throw the gin and down the rum, cause I’m nowhere close to done Strike the chord and bring the ale, cause I’m singin’ til I sail Yes I’m singin’ til I sail! Well I’m singin‘ ‘til sail!

Author’s Note

Words & music by Andrew D. Huber

Elizabeth, it’s all become a mess If you see these words I write, oh your heart it would protest It’s just Elizabeth, it’s all become a mess You’ve got all your life stuffed into one bag The cities and the coasts, you got a couple different ghosts You’ve got all your life stuffed into one bag No it’s nothing more, and nothing less Than the best of you I’d guess I think I missed it when you spoke Now I’m looking in.... the author’s note Oh it’s different sure, that second time around Yeah your’e standing on your feet, but somehow upside down Makes a smile seem like a frown Makes a heart somehow feel unbound My dear Elizabeth, it’s all become a mess If you hear these songs I sing, God I hope you’re not depressed It’s just Elizabeth..... No it’s nothing more, and nothing less Than the best of me I’d guess And if you missed it when I spoke You can find me in.... the author’s note

God Fearing Man

Music & Lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

I take a cross step on the down side/Oh where to begin And I take a deep breath on the outside/I gotta find my way in And I don’t know the way save for hills & for graves/But I know I gotta be strong oh cause I, I’m a God fearing man/And I worry that I've waited too long I’m alive and I’m blessed and forget all the rest/I’m gonna count all the stars ‘til the dawn Now I won’t be afraid to kill the bad day/with the arrow in the heart of this song I’ve got just one boat on this ocean, /And how crazy of me... But I scuttled the crew that would sink her/And now I’m patching the seams Still I misread the tide, and then I nearly capsized/And the pain I know it’s gonna be more Oh but I, I’m a God fearing man/And he doesn’t want me on the shore I’m alive and I’m blessed oh forget all the rest/I’m gonna count all the stars ‘til the dawn Now I won’t be afraid to kill the bad day/with the arrow in the heart of this song Oh they’ll tell you this life, well it ain’t worth the strife/They’ll say the better times have all come and gone But I, I’m a God fearing man/And what they are saying is wrong I’m alive and I’m blessed oh to hell with the rest/I’m gonna live everyday ‘til I’m gone No I won’t be afraid to kill the bad day/with the arrow in the heart of this song With the arrow in the heart of this song/with the arrow in the heart of this song I’m alive and I’m blessed oh to hell with the rest/I’m gonna live out my days ‘til they’re gone Let’s go..... 

Lyrics from MERCURY GETS A MOON

My Heart Somewhere

Music & Lyrics - Andrew D. Huber

I can't find my heart anywhere I've been looking all inside me, been looking everywhere For so long Ive been so scared Thank you for the kindness and I hope I will find my heart somewhere What I did, I did for myself/What I did, I did for peace What I did, it does remind me so/That every single day I am asleep I can't find my heart anywhere I've been looking all around you, been looking everywhere For so long Ive been so scared Thank you for the kindness and I hope I will find my heart somewhere What I lost, I was forsaken/What I lost, I feel so hurt What I lost, it does remind me so/That every single day I gotta search I can't find my heart anywhere I'm stumbling over mountains, and lost out in the air For so long Ive been so scared Thank you for the kindness and I hope I will find my heart somewhere Cause I've been so scared, for so long now/The best laid plans just put me down And if I'm the one who's getting singled out/Then hope is what I'll find Yeah Hope is what I'll find I'm hoping that someday, I'll feel awake/And I'm hoping for discovery I lost so much, but I still have my faith/Yes I still have my faith I thank you for the kindness, and hope that I will find I thank you for the kindness, and pray that I will find I thank you for the kindness, and I hope that I will find My heart somewhere That I will find my heart somewhere That I will find my heart somewhere (I know where...I'll find a way)

Gabriel and the Sparrow

Music & lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

Gabriel oh Gabriel/I can’t fix what’s wrong today Try as I might, try as I may/I see that sparrow fly away Gabriel oh Gabriel/Tell me what more can I do Patience such a cold virtue/I see that sparrow fly to you See it fly.... I am both of these things Trapped in the solace that time only brings Oh time...... I can watch and I can listen/I can find the words to say I can live up to that promise/Little bird don’t fly away Don’t fly away... Gabriel oh Gabriel /There are things I’d love to know Send him back with some answers/See that sparrow flying low Little sparrow flying low We are both of these things Trapped in the solace that time only brings Yeah we are all of these things Trapped in the solace that time only brings Time only brings Time only brings Time only brings Time only brings Time

Two-Drink Charlie

Music & lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

It's Thursday night ‘bout 11 o’clock/We can get one more yeah the week’s been rough Well I got one down and I don’t drink much/But they know my name here in this pub Well I come here about once a week/With a ten in my pocket and boots on my feet And I lace em up good, it gets pretty deep/And if you need a good friend well that’ll be me It’s one drink down and another one to go/Two drinks down yeah you’re ready for the show And I’m your Two-Drink Charlie and proud I am to be/I’ll never spill your secrets or steal your company Just your two-drink charlie that’s me Now same my say I don’t belong/While I nurse my shot glass all night long And they raise their glasses tall and strong/But they like my stories and they love my songs And Maggie my doll you make me blush/Like a married man who’s workin’ on a crush Listen up now be still and hush/Here I come with the sucker punch And it’s one drink down and another one to go/Two drinks now yeah you’re ready for the show Well I’m your Two-Drink Charlie and proud I am to be/I’ll never spill your secrets or steal your company So drink em up and spill your guts /And tell your friend Charlie Oh it’s 1, 2, 3 and around the world we go Yeah It’s one drink down and another one to go/Two drinks down now you’re ready for the show I’m your Two-Drink Charlie and proud I am to be/I’ll never spill your secrets or steal your company But I’ll buy you one and be a cad/Oh once I was a handsome lad My God I laugh your laugh it’s so pretty So drink ‘em up and spill your guts /And tell your friend Charlie Drink ‘em up and spill your guts /And tell your friend Charlie Drink ‘em up and spill your guts 

Broken Sky

Music & lyrics Andrew D. Huber

Good soldier am I, silent in labor/My promise now paid, a new life to start Tomorrow the winds, they bring fairer weather/And oh, dear God, I’m set to depart Oh I was there, you thought I was sleeping/But all I did was achingly wait And will you come, or leave this heart weeping/Oh to dream, when you’re sadly awake Won’t you tell me will I make it through/I’ve struggled and oh I’ve tried Or am I alone, still standing still/Beneath that broken sky Am I alone/Or am I.../Oh I...../Oh yes I.... I always stumble straight back to the start Where the sky turned to red, glowing with embers/And I watched, as ships raised sail and depart Oh for me will you ever remember/That boy on the shore with a man’s broken heart And where goes the heart with the body at slumber/Where goes the mind of one so in love Oh for me, will the ocean remember/That man on the shore as the sun fell above Will you tell me did I make it through/I’ve struggled and oh I’ve tried Am I alone still standing here/Beneath that broken sky Oh am I alone still standing still/Beneath that broken sky

San Antonio Greyhound

Music & Lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

Well, I couldn't remember my old friend's name /She's so crooked when she speaks She said I'm looking just a little old /Well I haven't slept in weeks It was a hundred and three temperature /About as many ways I wanna leave And they say I was born not far from here /But I'm findin' that hard to believe Because I, I gotta get outta here /Not till tomorrow, am I homeward bound North St. Mary & Pecan /San Antonio Greyhound Well, the sunshine is bringing a headache /No cloud could ever take away And the guitar-man, he'ss got the shady grin/He thinks my money is here to stay Oh just see the way she looks and hear the way she sounds /This baby was born to play I see the back door now, you see me make my run /I'm not the sucker that was born today Oh I, I gotta get outta here /Crack of dawn, I'm homeward bound North St. Mary & Pecan /On San Antonio Greyhound Oh the rain, let it come /And hit me like a hurricane I'm kissed by lightning, come undone /No I'm not sure why I came Oh the rain, won't you let it come /Let it hit me like a hurricane I'm kissed by lightning and come undone /No I'm not sure why I came this way And I, I gotta get outta here /Crack of dawn, I'm homeward bound To North St. Mary & Pecan/San Antonio Greyhound North St. Mary & Pecan /San Antonio Greyhound

Noah Had It Right

Music & Lyrics by Andrew D. Huber

Send a light or I might lose my way/I’ve been praying for so long the years they fade They fade away, they fade away Here’s a thing I’ve learned all too well/Yes I got up every day after I fell And I know what it means to fail We’re never given much, a broken hammer, and a headless nail Do you see my boat upon dry land/I’ve been building it for years, making it by hand And someday I’m gonna make my stand/Oh someday, what a beautiful day ‘Til then I wonder how I got to this place/I guess Noah had it right, we gotta take some things on faith Oh tell me will the road be unveiled Cause I’m stuck inside myself A broken hammer, and a headless nail We do what we want, and we say what we say/Living our lives, and maybe that’s okay While we’re stuck on the ground, we’re just tryin’ to be found/And we’re not seeing things the right way Oh tell me will the road be unveiled/Cause I know what it means to fail I’m ready, bring the force and the gale All I need is by my side/All I need is by my side All I need is by my side/A broken hammer, and a headless nail
