INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 1996
Wishuwell - Michael B. Crittenden

I wish you well
I’m fine, can’t you tell?
I wouldn’t change a thing
I kind of dig this emptiness
Did you ever care for me
If you did I guess I could care less
I wish you well
I’m fine, can’t you tell?
It’s later in the year
Still see your pictures on the wall
I haven’t run away
Swear I’m gonna take them down this fall
Gonna take ‘em down
I wish you well
I’m fine, can’t you tell?
Completely Understanding

Lost the fire in my eye
Lack of sleep, we learn to cry
I didn’t want to tell you
lay me down in my bed
guess I’ll write to you instead
cuz we couldn’t seem to talk about it
But we can love completely
Without completely understanding
this is so demanding
but I can’t let go
Lost the fire in my eye
without you I start to die
Lay me down in my bed
with visions of the things we said
I can’t seem to comprehend you
But we can love completely
Without completely understanding
this is so demanding
but I can’t let go
But we can love completely
Without completely understanding
in the end i know we’ll be standing
and we won’t let go
Dream Away the Moon - Michael B. Crittenden
©1994 Mackinaw Harvest Music (BMI)
Take a drive
Round the old neighborhood
used to feel so good
Hang your hat
A knock upon the door
but we don’t live here anymore
Always get this feeling in the fall
Look back on a year
See it all so clear
But I’ve learned to live on
To live on
Dream Away the Moon
Waiting one more day
and I know I’ll be with you
And we’ll dream away the moon
Lying at your side
I’m afraid to close my eyes
But I’ve learned to live on
To live on
Dream Away the Moon
Waiting one more day
and I know I’ll be with you
And we’ll dream away the moon
Lying at your side
I’m afraid to close my eyes

Robinhood of Presidents - Michael B. Crittenden

​
When there wasn’t any road
He wasn’t sure which way to go
when they told him to turn back
he couldn’t remember where he’d been
are you feeling that way too?
do you know what we should do?
don’t let them bring you down
As he pushed into the dark
blinded by a status spark
and when they asked him for his number
he smiled and gave them his full name
are you feeling that way too?
do you know what we should do?
don’t let them bring you down
the Robinhood of Presidents
wasn’t making any sense
​
are you feeling that way too?

the Robinhood of Presidents
wasn’t making any sense
Promise - Michael B. Crittenden
©1996 Mackinaw Harvest Music (BMI)
There was a time
When I didn’t know you
But I can’t remember the feeling
There was a time
I was afraid to show you
Just how crazed I was feeling
Now I’ll do anything
I’m giving myself
With the one who sure believes in you
Make a promise
There was a time
When I didn’t know it
But you were right there in front of me
And there was a time
When the words slipped from my lips
and they forever ran away
Now I’ll do anything
I’m giving myself
With the one who sure believes in you
Make a promise
How crazy I’m feeling
Now I’ll do anything
I’m giving myself
With the one who sure believes in you
Make a promise
Balance(Anna, darling) - Michael B. Crittenden
©1996 Mackinaw Harvest Music (BMI)
I guess I lost my balance
cuz I’m lying on the floor
Excuse me mister
But there must be something more than this
Anna, darling
When I woke this morning
over our bed was a cloud concerning
where have you gone
feel like I’ve be awake so long
oh how i need you
i don’t like me without you
all I do is work and cry
sit around the house and wonder why…amplified
I’m so lost
guess i lost my balance
I’m so lost
There must be something more than this
Anna, darling
floating graceful starling
I know I was wrong to be so demanding
we both need to see our own horizons
but oh how i need you
why can’t we share surprises?
all I do is work and cry
sit around the house and wonder why…amplified
I’m so lost
guess i lost my balance
I’m so lost
There must be something more
Anna, darling
Map Song - Michael B. Crittenden
©1995 Mackinaw Harvest Music (BMI)
No morning sun new day no fun
is this the way the west was won?
No silence here for all his fear
Can’t explain to you my dear
He really needs a second chance
Despite the ugly circumstance
he’s smiling
as the tears are rushing down his face - he says
take me away
gone a little fraction of the day
when I get back, gonna do things better
gonna take her hand and let her be the love of my life
No morning sun new day same fun
she still keeps running
no silence here for you my dear
he can’t explain
no phone no lights no motorcars
not a single luxury
despite the circumstance
does he deserve another chance?
she’s smiling
as the tears are rushing down her face
he says
take me away
gone a little fraction of the day
when I get back, gonna do things better
gonna take her hand and let her be the love of my life
Resolving - Michael B. Crittenden
©1996 Mackinaw Harvest Music (BMI)
the more I get to know you
the more I realize
that there are good people in the world
the more I get to kiss you
the less I wonder why
i was put on this earth
how I want to feel your naked body next to mine
resolving time
the more i get to know you
the sexier you are
and I was thinking back to morning
the more I get to hold you
the less I feel like crying
and it’s beautiful cuz we’re not trying
how I want to feel your naked body next to mine
resolving time
isn’t it resolving time?
Thirst - Michael B. Crittenden
©1996 Mackinaw Harvest Music (BMI)
The water is weighting down my breath
And I couldn’t seem to squeeze out the right words
A sleepy head upon a breast
Won’t you hold me, cuz I’m still here
Why won’t you tell me what I’m thinking?
Cuz I need to know
Walking through the garden
Will you look at all the colors bursting
And I’m still thirsting for you
The water’s slippin past my shoes
Well my feet could do without the sentimental soaking
Shade of green and crystal blue
It’s such a beautiful thing
Gonna pour myself into you
Why won’t you tell me what I’m thinking?
Cuz I need to know
Walking through the garden
Will you look at all the colors bursting
And I’m still thirsting
Will you meet me in the morning
Is this my last warning?
I’m still thirsting for you.
Poppy Fields(Get it Back) - Michael B. Crittenden
©1996 Mackinaw Harvest Music (BMI)
We are always working toward dreams that are so far
Bend over backward oil we forget who we are
Just like a child playing in the yard
Never seem to get enough
I keep pushing forward sleeping in my shoes
but every now and then I’m frozen by the sight of you
stopped in my tracks
staring at the sun
can’t seems to get things done
And the poppy fields are fading from view
I just need to spend some time with you
We love making money we’re so glad to be alive
but there’s more to life than working
and it shouldn’t begin at sixty five
get outside yourself
be with the ones you love
And the poppy fields are fading from view
I just need to spend some time with you
and for all the times i forgot to say
i love you
I’m so sorry
there’s no excuse for being that selfish
And the poppy fields are fading from view
and I just need
i need you
I just need
I need you
I just need to spend some time with you
find myself
get it back
make you smile, I’ll make you laugh
just like a child, we’re so young
and our lives have just begun
Forest - Michael B. Crittenden
©1996 Mackinaw Harvest Music (BMI)
There’s a place in the pine trees
Four foot by Four
Where the sun is invading the forest floor
and the needles that lie there
Have soaked all the dew
And overtime I’m there
I’m reminded of you
Well I’ve traveled the country
with a bucket of beans
And I’ve seen all the cities
and the country between
Time is best spent in the places you chose
And the place that I’ve chosen
Is this forest with you
