"Still My Home" by Viking Moses
If she sees me on her way, then forever in love we'll stay. When she meets me with her tears, I will give to her all my years.
I won't shush her when she whines, no I won't ditch what trouble finds. She may weep, yes, she may moan, but as she cries, she's still my home.
words written by Brendon Massei.
music set to the traditional song "Michael Row The Boat Ashore".

"Little Emma's Smile" by Viking Moses
I love the fishes, they swim around me! God made the fishes and God made me. I love the sun, it shines on me! God made the sun and God made me. Or when the rain comes, falls on me, I love the rain God pours on me!
I love the buzzing of the honeybee! God made the honeybee, and God made me. I leave the sleepy bear where he be! God made the sleepy bear far from me. And I love Emma, her smile so free, God let little Emma's smile find me!
Additional words and arrangement by Brendon Massei.
Set to a traditional English hymn.

"Country Gown" by Viking Moses
Dance to me in a country gown. This knife in my hand, I'll take and put it down. And I'll spin you, and pull you to the ground, surrounded by our laughs that watch from all around.
As we get up, walk faced toward the sun don't dare think about what might be to come. Just look here, and no there's no need to run. There's no need questioning or ending what's begun.

"My Husband's Hand" by Viking Moses
A child off playing, I take my husband's hand. It pulled us to the dirt when I dressed my best for him, and shushed my mouth for laughing. Two gentle fingers press my lips the moment he fakes a strait face.
He turns to eye the children, I promise him a few, and this lights him right up, and I am frightened, a child off playing, and I take my husband's hand.

"Dancing By The Water Day" by Viking Moses
It's Dancing By The Water Day, Synti comes along, and we waltz on a world that is calm. We waltz on a world that is calm. When night bows her head to the coming day, and a rising light is born, we will watch as the boats move along. We will watch as the boats move along.
It's Dancing By The Water Day, our movements though the air push away all doubt and fear. Yes, they push away all doubt and fear and install in their place faith and comfort, and a drive that's ready and strong for when our bodies aren't near. Yes, for when our bodies aren't near.
It's Dancing By The Water Day, our bodies draw close, then break away. and when they do they cry and pray for Dancing By The Water Day!Yes, it's Dancing By The Water Day, Synti comes along, and we waltz on a world that is calm. We waltz on a world that is calm. When night bows her head to the coming day, and a rising light is born, we will watch as the boats move along. We will watch as the boats move along.

"Crosses" by Viking Moses
Without love, life is gone. Without life, love goes on and on.
So take me in your arms, bring me back with ivory horns. Then break me in you arms. Break my pride in all its forms.
Without love, life is gone. Without life, love goes on and on..
Crosses aside the road, across he's eyes, across he's nose, across he's little toes. Crosses stand in rows and rows and rows and rows and...
Without love, life is gone. Without life, love goes on and on.

"Whet Stones At Both My Sides"
I still sniff at the pillow where my love's head lied next to mine some days ago, but how should I know where the love goes?
Whet stones at both my sides, on the floor the clothes I wore when she last saw me with her eyes, with her soft eyes hardly fastened to mine.
"This dance ends here," and with these words she sentenced me to the loneliness I fear, "but have faith, my darling! You must have faith, my darling, cause we will wait till you use this parting to find yourself, to find my darling!"
But I am just an empty house when you're gone, an empty body, I'm nothing strong. It's when you're here, you're my blood moving along, so I will wait lifeless until you get home.
"Then," she said, "you'll just continue to wait. I can't be your life, I can't be your blood, and if there's nothing in you, then there's nothing to love, so there is nothing you have worth waiting for. But have faith, my darling! You must have faith, my darling, cause we will wait till you use this parting to find yourself, to find your darling!"
It's when she said this, I could see standing long, my little self, there, waiting for me. Now, with myself, I am never alone, so I sing smiling till you come home, have faith, my darling! You must have faith, my darling! I could no longer wait, I could just use this parting to find myself, to find your darling!

"Little Arms" by Viking Moses
When you hold my little arms, when you hold my little arms, wrist down, you show me just how little I, you show me just how little I really am. And so I find a little space in you to call my whole world when you're gone, and watch it stretch my little days, each little day is stretched a lifetime long.
And Georgia is a long, Georgia is a long way now. And Carolina is a long, Carolina is a long way now. And Virginia is a long, Virginia is a long way now. And tomorrow is a long, tomorrow is a long way now.
And Emma is a long, Emma is a long way now. Yes, Emma, you're a long, Emma you're a long way now, but when you hold my little arms, when you take these limbs so frail and small, we'll forget these lifelong days and wrap our selves into a little ball.

Fingernail Moon

"Fingernail Moon" by Viking Moses
It's night and the fingernail moon brings me to dance through your room. Make me home make me home soon.
Come, my dear child. I only ask for a smile to make all life worth the while.
And when I can dream no more, I wake to be found on all fours, blessed to be here on this floor.
The unrighteous man follows his own folded hands, while he waits for some whispered command.
But I knew from the start to follow the beat of my heart back to dreaming and right where you are.

"Delighted" by Viking Moses
I lie on my back as she moves the whole world. No one may know how I know her. Still, in my arms I might hold small girl. Still, in her eyes I might move her.
And it's home, home, I'm delighted that she's home! Home! I'm delighted that she's home! Home! I'm delighted that she's home! Home! I'm delighted!
