1. Heartland into my heart
2. Rose rocks
3. Roll on brother
4. Trail of tears
5. When you’re walking away
6. For the kids
7. North wind
8. Close the door

I became a father at a rather ripe age, and I use that as an excuse for expressing such sentimentality. So this is a glimpse of my internal dialogue, wrestling with the question of whether it's crazy to wince at every little separation, knowing that separation is the ultimate reward of parental love.
Close the Door

One breath leads to another
You don't have listen anymore
She'll be fine by herself here
Just close the door
But leave it cracked
You never know
When the goblins might show
Or when you should holding on
Instead of letting go
She can find you if she needs you
She doesn't need to hear you snore
What if she's coming down with something?
Hey, close the door
But leave it cracked
You never know
When the goblins might show
And you know the hardest part
Is the letting go
She can sleep in her own room
Even though she's – well, she is four
Don't forget, she's a big girl
And close the door
Or maybe, sleep on the floor.
