Idyllwild 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Found on a wire we both caught fire The air expands to stand beside you The words don’t make it true But what i do to meet you I heed the call i answer them all Idyllwild Cradle these fools As we dive down we see in the dark Idyllwild Like kings we fed, to the hills headed By naked laughs, we left the path Climbing down and down The sunlight took our skin We came alive the water rushing in Idyllwild Cradle these fools As we dive down we see in the dark Idyllwild Idyllwild Cradle these fools As we hide what we seek in the dark Idyllwild

Growing Up 05:29
lyrics
buy track
There’s a chance in the cracks babe The spaces between words Maybe we don’t have to make it Maybe we have it made I’m learning just how to live, darlin’ In my own skin It does not come easy I’ve been dreaming myself away for years Growing up tangled Growing up let go All the places been lonely All the places been blue All the time in motion I got to miss you Can we go riding to see where The floods meet and bend I’m alive inside your story I wanna be your pretty baby til the end Growing up tangled Growing up let go

When We're Older 03:17
lyrics
buy track
Oh the things we’ll joke about They won’t be funny to anyone else How we were pretty once and feeling tough The whole world won’t even notice us Yeah the surface will fade away But we’ll find beauty in the everyday I wanna love you when we’re older I wanna love you when we’re older Whatever else i do I wanna love you when we’re older Our bodies will slow down We’ll try not to fall to the ground And notice things we couldn’t see before Find out what our hearts are capable of We’ll see the world collapse together And evolve into another I wanna love you when we’re older I wanna love you when we’re older Whatever else i do I wanna love you when we’re older I see you behind the lines You are holding me so tight As we disappear into the earth Leaving every thought we’ve ever had behind I wanna love you when we’re older I wanna love you when we’re older Whatever else i do I wanna love you when we’re older We’ll swing low when we’re older We’ll get high when we’re older Whatever else i do I wanna love you when we’re older

That Sugar 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Nothing you can sell me Will keep me satisfied Nothing i can steal Nothing i can buy That fix is temporary In the madness of the mind That sugar only lasts a while My weakness came looking I answered the call A simple proposition A win for a fall But it’s all or nothing It’s nothing at all That sugar only lasts a while Mama, won’t you tell me why that feeling won’t stay around Lover, ever wonder why that sugar always lets you down I worked most of my time For something that could Keep them wolves away from me Or kill ‘em off for good Now i owe more than i own I misunderstood That sugar only lasts a while That sugar always lets me down

Any 3 Chords 05:38
lyrics
buy track
Any 3 chords will do I draw a clean page with a kind of truth It’s so easy to lose I tighten my grip trying to hold on to it I wrestle with this guitar I plead for a change, a word, a part Of tenderness, love and pain A sweet chance to be redeemed I only wanna play in the band I only wanna travel the world If only i could sing for a crowd Who loves me better than i can Loves me better than i can Any 3 chords will do In bars everywhere and nowhere In a corner of the room a band lay it bare Lit up like a small town ball It’s glorious when you’re willing to fall Dancing with this guitar I forgot who i am and i’m making it up I’ve seen it for myself If i’m not here now i have nothing else I only wanna play in the band I only wanna travel the world If only i could sing for a crowd Who loves me better than i can I only wanna be on fire I only wanna be in tune If only there was something, Something to hold on to Any 3 chords will do

Made From The Same Clay 04:42
lyrics
buy track
I see you by the roadside Wearing your ragged guise I see you on the street sometimes Can’t seem to look you in the eye You hold a sign up to the world Asking for mercy You reach out with your hand I pretend i don’t see We are made from the same clay I could be you on a different day All life to love must come I’d like to be there when we are one I dream of where you sleep Of the raw, hard concrete With no walls to keep you warm Are you afraid like i would be? You hold a sign up to the world A mortal reminder No one survives without The hand of others We are made from the same clay I could be you on a different day All life to love must come I’d like to be there when we are one

She Can't Take The World 03:01
lyrics
buy track
She can’t take the world She can’t take the world with her when she goes One moment one night Wanna tell her it’ll be alright Maybe it drags or it flies It’s just another precious moment in time It won’t be fair, it won’t be right But we just don’t get to decide When it comes She can’t take the world She can’t take the world with her She can’t take the world with her when she goes Last time letting go The last thing she can do on her own Step into the long night Call out a name, and leave it behind It won’t be fair, it won’t be right But we just don’t get to decide When it comes She can’t take the world She can’t take the world with her She can’t take the world with her when she goes One moment, one night She can’t tell us what it feels like Talk is done, she gonna get real gone No way of knowing what she’ll find It won’t be fair, it won’t be right But we just don’t get to decide When it comes She can’t take the world She can’t take the world with her She can’t take the world with her when she goes

Want You There 05:04

Baby say what you’re thinking Kick dust in the air As long as i’m breathing Baby i want you there Yeah i want you there When i’m under the gun Lying beside me when the day is done I’ve been wasting, killing time for way too long Pretty baby, if you don’t mind Gonna count us as the lucky ones

Mama Was 04:06
lyrics
buy track
You get in your car you drive across the line The questions come but you have made up your mind You still have the red heart you were born with Dragging you in two directions at one time Mama was so tender she would lose herself Brake down, go ahead Give us one last chance Take back all you said Give us one last chance How did you decide when to start the car When to turn the wheel and when to say goodbye When to stop and when to keep driving When to tell the truth and when to lie Mama we took everything without a thought Brake down, go ahead Give us one last chance Take back all you said Give us one last chance Mama i’ll follow a long way behind Mama i will stay out of your sight I hear the coming land slide Don’t tell me everything is alright Brake down, go ahead Give us one last chance Take back all you said Give us one last chance

Crazy Horse 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Crazy horse, crazy horse See me through the loveless winter Keep me like a brother Brimful of wonder Guide me on the river fire Guide me like a sunshine driver Guide me like a cinder Crazy horse, crazy horse With your one eye gone and stumbling I have a feeling about you Will you let it be true Will you carry me over the flames Will you help me resist the vein Will you take me down the easy way I want to see the lights of every city that there is I want to know the back roads and wild places no one’s been Will you take me down the easy way Crazy horse, crazy horse You’ve been a fine friend to me I’m sorry that you’re lowly Can’t let you go slowly I’ll carry you over the flames I’ll help you resist the vein I’ll take you down the easy way I want to see the lights of every city that there is I want to know the back roads and wild places no one’s been Will you take me down the easy way

Based On Your Eyes 04:43
lyrics
buy track
I made a decision and i based it on your eyes Fell into the sweetness, surrounds me in time Loving you is easy Loving you is so easy I danced for the first time That i did not feel ashamed Took my hands to this body Let go that ball and chain Loving you has changed me Loving you has changed me so The love we make Will carry us through the ages I know you can’t save me You let me be as i am The story we both tell Walking hand in hand Loving you moves me Loving you moves me so Loving you is easy Loving you has changed me Loving you moves me Loving you restores me Loving you

about

“Idyllwild” is an album about following songs wherever they may lead, about trusting the process to allow “what’s next” to reveal itself. Recorded in the winter of 2013 and released in 2014, “Idyllwild” earned Dyson the award “Artist of the Year” from Double J radio at the J awards in Australia and was her first album to chart in the top 100 on the CMJ radio chart in the US.

“Idyllwild is a cohesive 11 tracks of authentic, roots-rock brilliance. If 2012′s The Moment was Dyson’s career-defining reinvention, Idyllwild is the proof that she can improve upon that record’s strong foundation."(Featured Album) – Double J
