You come, from outer space
And I, I sprung out from the earth
We lay down, face to face
To witness our rebirth
And I'm not leaving while you're breathing
I won't run away
They say it won't last, and you'll move along
And that we're moving too fast, but I know they're wrong
Cuz we, are like invisible light in the dark
There is an endless road on the edge of the map
So let's pack our hats in a burlap sack and go
Men stare, and women sigh
And children dart their eyes
We're tall, our heads are high
And I won't apologize
Oil and water, prince and pauper
Not so far apart
Leaves are falling, we are stalling
Seasons come and go
But winter's chill won't leave me ill
I'll fight, and you'll fight
Toothpaste and lemonade
Polka dots and stripes
You're a dark night, and I'm the day
We're a wreck, and that's alright
And you're the pin that's sticking in
To me, the hand grenade

More mouths to feed, more dirty shorts
More books to read, more pillow forts
More stockings crammed upon the mantle hooks
More tears to dry, more movie nights
More fears to hide, more tangled kites
So much to learn that they dont teach in books
Cards down, the bets are in
A full house, for the win
The more of us, the stronger we will be
And each time, its scarier
But the more love, the merrier
Another branch upon the family tree
From sports cars to minivans
From date nights to dental plans
From flying high to building up the nest
From foie gras to mac and cheese
From crosswords to ABCs
The new life for you and mes the best

http://www.joshwoodward.com/song/ShadowsInTheMoonlight
Take this pill, my dear
It will keep you sharp and clear
The side effects wont last too long
Its stranger than it seems
In your most peculiar dreams
But its nothing that wont fade with time
Tuck the northern star in a candy jar
And save it for a rainy day
Shadows in the moonlight
Always coming, always going
While your cup is overflowing
Shadows in the moonlight
Just a matter of perspective
Its all relative, subjective,
Its alive
Stand up straight and tall
Keep your back against the wall
Remember what they said to you
A stranger in a crowd
A halo on a cloud
Its lost to you but it never really went away
The muffled speech is out of reach
But truth has got a way of breaking through
[Chorus]
Take these words my dear,
And as they echo in your ears
Its closer than you think

![Josh Woodward: Old Man Blanchard (Acoustic Performance)
The Blanchard is a river in my hometown of Findlay, Ohio. It has a massive flood a few years back that put the town underwater, and this song came out soon after.

Old Man Blanchard took a walk downtown to the edge of the Main Street bridge
I sat myself beside him on the shallow muddy ridge
I asked him why he comes and goes, and why he never stays
He said, son, Ive always been here, I have never gone away
I saw the black gold in the streets, and I watched it all go bust
I saw the Great Depression, I saw fortunes turn to dust
The people only see me when I make my presence known
But, they only really love me when I stay inside my home
Old Man Blanchard, he will run and he will crawl
Old Man Blanchard, he will rise and he will fall
The silver citys shining but the skies are turning grey
Then old Man Blanchard with the wave of his hammer come to take it all away
I looked at him and told him everyone thinks that hes cruel
I said, youve been called a bastard and a traitor and a fool
There are people who would trap you and would throw you in a pen
So whats it like to feel the wrath of 20,000 men?
He stopped to think a moment and he turned to me and said,
Theyve fought me for a hundred years to keep me in my bed
You can build a wall around me, you can trap me in a dam
But when the day is over, I am just what I am
[Chorus]
The sky was growing darker, so I went out on my way
As I headed out, I turned around to him to say
You look so tall and mighty but inside youre just like me
You only want to leave this place and head on out to sea
You only want to leave this place and head on out to sea Josh Woodward: Old Man Blanchard (Acoustic Performance)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TRM7pKKYi_s/mqdefault.jpg)

These feet have carried me as far as I will go
Across the field to where the wind had ceased to blow
That day, when sorrow filled the air and all the blackbirds scattered everywhere
And you had gone as far as you would go
In my reflection, you are staring back at me
My eyes are mirrors of the dreams you used to see
But now Im fumbling in the dark, where all the memories are far apart
And there I lost the forest for the trees
In the gloaming of the day, the words are darkening away
Take another look
Theres no more pages in this book
The epilogue was written in the dirt
The storys at an end
Its time to put away my pen
And join the you by the earth
There was a tremble in the marrow of my bones
Distorted and contorted like a worn out megaphone
And through the bellow and the bluster, I was shaking, I was flustered
With a body full of star-crossed chromosomes
And through the clatter there emerged a single voice
A familiar sound I hadnt heard since I was just a boy
And all at once my fears were lifted as the echoes slowly drifted
To the center of the amplifying void
And I followed like a child, so carefree and so wild
[Chorus]
Well theres music everywhere
The voices carry through the air
But Im not listening Josh Woodward: Epilogue (Acoustic Performance)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UKASNufVufo/mqdefault.jpg)
