A friend of mine is falling apart in the great Northern Hemisphere
While the world spins around
A friend of mine is coming undone on a floor in a room
In a house made of bricks
In a room with an organ and a crucifix
While the world spins around
While the phone rings
It's more then the sun going down
It's more then the sound of the trees that's breaking her heart
Life's not a carnival ride, I thought it was but it's not
I thought it was, I thought it was
But it's not like a radio song
Or a May parade
It's more then the smile of hello
It's more then the kiss of good-bye
It's more then my sorrow and joy
Am I the lamb that's asleep in the greenest of verdant fields?
Am I the lamb that's asleep in the greenest of verdant fields?
With the Lord over there
Am I the lamb that He keeps in His sight
In the rain and the sun
By His blood, by His blood
By His body and blood?

Don't cry
The sound you hear is just a car going by
The light you see is just an aeroplane
Good-night
You'll wake up in the morning with the sunshine
You'll wake up in the morning with the bells of the earth
And hey
I can say the world is beautiful
Sometimes
I sit up in the kitchen while the rain falls
I sit up in the kitchen with my radio
And hey
I can say the world is beautiful
Don't cry
The sound you here is just a car going by
The light you see is just a firefly

Catherine-Anne
You and my brother in a blue boat sailing away
You and my brother at sea
It's coming back to me again
It's coming over me the same
It's moving all around me now
Catherine-Anne
You and my brother in a photograph arms open wide
You and my brother cellophane
It's coming back to me again
It's coming over me the same
It's moving all around me now
Catherine-Anne
You and my brother and I in San Gabriel
You and my brother and I in San Gabriel
You and my brother and I
You in the morning on a white bike racing away
My brother standing in the road
He's never felt the same again
He's never looked the same again
He's never loved the same

Your Friend

You go, you go away
You drift in and out of my life
I've got nothing useful to say
I only want to be your friend
I only want to be your friend
Your Dad, he's gone away
Your Mom, she's not the same anymore
I won't ask about the things you'd rather not say
I only want to be your friend
I only want to be your friend
High on a hill you will stand
The sun will shine on your beautiful face
You're young, nothing can bring you down
I only want to be your friend
I only want to be your friend

Butterfly
I wish you a long and happy life
All the flowers of a summer day
Green fields to fly over
A warm wind to carry you
Butterfly
I wish you a long and happy life
Red-apple boy
You're the sound of the morning air
You're the sound of the light in my house
You're the sun going down
The stars that shine at night are not as bright as we find you
Butterfly
I wish you a long and happy life

Ten Silver Slide Trombones

lyrics

When you say good-bye to California
Could I follow you?
Could I follow you then?
Could I reach you then?
When you say good-bye to California
And eternal Spring
Good-bye eternal Spring and every little thing
And every little thing
And I think of you with ten silver slide trombones
Merle Haggard's playing on the radio
The songs of Bakersfield
And you're already far away
And I think of you with ten silver slide trombones
When you say good-bye to California
What's the world coming to?
When you say good-bye to California
What's the world coming to?
What's the world coming to?

There is water rising all around
There are shoulders that can carry you
Anytime at all
Anytime at all

Help me out
Help me out with this
I'm down in a hole
I'm stuck in my life
I'm falling apart, you know
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ you know
I'm lost without you
You've heard it before
But nevertheless it's true
All my friends
All of the good friends I have
Are falling apart
Are falling apart
We're falling apart
We're falling apart

What are you thinking of
When you're in the house
And I'm out in the yard with all of my years
And electric lines overhead
What do you think about then?
People can knock you down
And you'll never know why
Some people can knock you down
And you'll never know why
If you hold out a hand for me
I would lift you like that
What do you think about that?
Banjos and trampolines and little guitars
Banjos and trampolines and little guitars
We'd miss you if you weren't here
We would miss you for sure
What do you think about that?
Seventy times or more than that
Seventy times or more than that

When will you come to Pennsylvania
When will you bring your old self here?
I've got some friends
I think you'd like them
I've got that Hammond organ up and off the floor
I might just go to California
And get some good used records there
Fairport Convention
After the Gold Rush
Or Woody Guthrie in the Dust Bowl
Why don't you come here and spend Thanksgiving
November's not the greatest month but that's alright
We've got guitars and
We've all got problems
Sometimes they're looming large
Sometimes they're nothing more than...

There may come a day when you
Could sell your house away to
Strangers from Poughkeepsie and
Pack your car and leave
With your daughter and your son
In the hopes of better things to come and
Though we'd like to keep you here
We will love you far or near

about
new artwork by Karen Peris
Grace and beauty can be found in the simplest of things -- a friend, a moment, a wish, a song. Such is the appeal of the Innocence Mission's five LPs, and such is the appeal of Innocence Mission guitarist Don Peris' solo debut. Ten Silver Slide Trombones marks his entry into the ranks of singer/songwriters and showcases what fans of his band know to be an unfairly overlooked talent. Whereas his earlier work frames Karen Peris' delicate voice within fully developed productions, Ten Silver Slide Trombones presents simple ideas in a simple context. Don Peris wrote, produced, and performed all 12 tracks (many of which include little more than vocals and guitar), and the results are rich and achingly beautiful. "Firefly," recorded with echoey ambience, is a peaceful moment spent watching the world out the back window. "Pennsylvania," sung in a shaky voice over an acoustic guitar, is a heartfelt invitation for a troubled friend to visit. "Anytime at All" and "Help Me Out" show with tasteful restraint -- a rarity in musicians who openly acknowledge their religious beliefs -- Peris' faith in a higher power. As a result, the occasional religious reference adds character and depth without being preachy. Obvious similarities in melody and sound exist between Ten Silver Slide Trombones and any of the Innocence Mission's releases (particularly Umbrella and Birds of My Neighborhood). A loose link can even be drawn to James Taylor or Cat Stevens in their heart-wrenching heydays. But Don Peris is a talent in his own right, worthy of praise for an inspiring solo debut. - All Music Guide
