New Love - written by John Guliak.
There’s a song just along the horizon
I feel it callin‘ out to me
Just as long as I keep on drivin’ I’ll be free
But the road’s slow risin’ below me
Reminds me that I’ll never get too far
From when you moved sure and easy in my arms
I’m moving again
Always twisting in the wind
Forever falling, euphorically all in for you (X2)
Somewhere on the distant plain
She watches another lover dance and sing
In the dust that holds the ghosts and bones
Of the buffalo and Cree
Her arms are never awkward around you
Her eyes gather up the sky
Into a cool shade of blue that leaves you high
I’m dancing again
Watch me twisting in the wind
Forever falling, euphorically all in for you (X2)
Remembrance hurts like a foolish act
Is a foolish act and yet
The greatest beauty is to be alive forgetting nothing
Every time the wind dances over the wheat
I remember the river where you laid down with me

Insectine (or Love Karamazov Style) - written by John Guliak
I helped you keep your garden free
I killed the weeds for a hill of beans
I tried to slow the progress of
bone pestle against stone bowl
I’ll tend the graves where your father lays
Where the homestead and all my memories fade
I’ll reap the meagre faith
You’ve sown with your silence
There’s no place for me in that history
If you can’t tell the tale it might never have happened at all
Let me stone pope Joan for you
Lay the miracle bare for all to view
Change the sacred way into the shunned street
The only thing that I can do
Is drive carefully and try to comfort you
Brave the pro-life signs and the blame in the nurse’s eyes
There’s no place for me in that history
If you can’t tell the tale it might never have happened at all
I’ve tried to rise above my blood
To ride the storm and win your love
I’ve held your children close despite my distance
All the 5 year plans have come and gone
They’ve paid their way in tears of song
And all that’s left behind is the sound of scurrying
