Tunnel Song 02:44
I'm in a tunnel. Singin' to you. I've got to have some time alone to get to know what's true and what's false. I want to know it all. I'm here in this lonely tunnel, singin' to you. And it's eternal, what we must do. We've got to take that rabbit hole and take it all the way through. Through it all, the end is never known. Just here in this lonely tunnel waiting for you.

Get Along 02:55
I was gonna cry today but I decided to stay in bed. Instead of sittin' 'round feeling bad again I thought I'd grab a pen and write a song. So I wrote a part for you that I think you might like to sing along with me on. But if you're feelin' shy, you don't have to try but we should still try to get along. So get along sweet darlin', ain't no need to be violent. We all need to keep tryin' or we'll never see why it's such a sweet thing to love and such bitterness without. We can't take it. We can't leave it. We can only give it out. I was off of my mind again. Couldn't find a friend to confide in. Layin' low and gettin' by and every time I try to mend I'm divided. And the words come out all wrong and it's the saddest song when it's sung alone. So I wrote a part for you that I think you might like to sing along with me on. So sing along sweet darlin', ain't no need to be silent. We all need to keep tryin' or we'll never see why it's such a sweet thing to love and such bitterness without. We can't take it. We can't leave it. We can only give it out.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey. The crow sings. And if you listen hard enough you won't get lost if you just get caught inside your heart and love and sing. Sing out what the world is saying. It's praying for us all to learn to get along. And if you sing along with crow you will join in a song that has been sung for so so long. And you'll sing it with your heart and when you glow it like a star it lets you show it to the world. Yeah the world let's you glow it when you show it to the world. I love love love love and see the light. I love love love love fancy delight. I love love love love and see the love. I love it so.

And Ever 03:12
I woke up early today this morning, feeling boring, the same old story. Can't seem to find the time ton form these thoughts I think my mind is forming. I would like to spend some time with you sometime. Maybe in the sunshine we can have our way. Cause today is like no other, it's a day to remember that we have only got a little time but at the same time forever, and ever... and ever... and ever... and ever... and ever... I heard someone at the bus stop telling the person on their cellphone how we all could use a hand sometimes this world doesn't make sense, that's why we need each other now more than ever before this. We can't really afford it to lose another day. Cause today is like no other. We gotta face it together. Cause we have only got a little time but at the same time, forever, and ever... and ever... and ever... and ever... and ever...

To Go 02:19
Lightbulbs and magnets and birdseed, two key-rings and beer. A free double mattress, a two dollar song to sing Claire. It's only half-bit you know. It's all that is left of the show. It's out of habit, you get it and grab it to go. Suitcases, tambourines, dreams that you never saw through. Pictures and faces and people and places you knew. That's just the way that it goes. The door is always left half closed. Meet it halfway or your life will have nowhere to go. Pans, bowls and plates and some silverware, forks, spoons and knives. Tenador y cuchillo y cuchara y tu. Something from nothing is true when nothing is something you do. We're all forever together, we'll make it through. We'll take it to go.

about

Kevin Haynes Portland, Oregon

When I'm not freestyling lyrics to songs into the recorder on my phone, I like to write original folk/pop music on ukulele, guitar and piano. Music inspires my creativity and has helped me grow and make connections over the years. It's something I will never stop pursuing and I'm happy to be able to share it with you. Thanks for listening! ... more
