Downtown Canon - (5:35) - 573 playsLyricsI cracked the code and I knew what it's all about
We found the loft on Greene Street, swept that bad boy out
Alsatian wine, playing records way past four
Making some crazy soulful love on the hard wood floor
Where did our love go?

Upside Looking Down - (4:07) - 549 playsLyricsWell, you came on like some blazing supernova
With a flame that burned so brightly in the sky
Then you woke up and your long white night was over
And you cursed the world that dared to pass you by
So now you blame the ones who love you for your sorrows

Paging Audrey - (6:47) - 534 playsLyricsIn the littlest hours 'tween the dusk and dawn
While the night light glows with the music on

And go anywhere
In that sometime place ever lost somehow

Bob Is Not Your Uncle Anymore - (4:44) - 574 playsLyricsThis old house looks just the way it was
Just a tumbledown of pine and river stone
But it's only just a shadow of the place you knew before
Because Bob's just not your uncle anymore
Winter's here and the day don't last too long
