All of the love dissolves Down a shaft of blue light But it comes when you call And hides the past in plain sight You wipe another fingerprint off the wall You turn at last your day to night Another one down revolves A dream in a casque shut tight A separate flame Ignites a ripened day A separate flame Had scorched the rock and clay All of sudden you can’t pretend You can’t go thinking anymore That there is a hurting you can mend You’re just kicking up dust off the floor Days and dreams begin to blend I can’t tell what’s in store I can’t see where it’ll end I won’t even try to shut the door A separate flame Ignites a ripened day A separate flame Had scorched the rock and clay

I don’t know where to go in this world Maybe stand still, maybe run off I don’t know what the hell I’m doing Is this progress? Should I even care? They know right Right from wrong No not I I don’t belong Tell no lie I don’t belong The world dries up because of all of us But no one can blame just one face The world heats up because of all of us They want out of here, to throw up some dust They know right Right from wrong No not I I don’t belong Tell no lie I don’t belong I don’t belong Where do I belong?

Moon & Tide 03:38
Take me down the road Let this tale unfold Lend your hand to hold This is love to behold My addled thoughts collide You perceive I can’t decide That I’m the moon and you’re the tide To never know the other side But what is your true name This devilish heart has come to praise To conjure up what I’ve erased And what was buried set ablaze Can we simply live in one breath A thin line, life and death What is left? I see the swirling mist Down below I can’t resist To wonder how it can exist How a mind can get lost in this Try so hard to see Beyond what we know The seeds that lovers sow Underground, under toe Can we simply live in one breath A thin line, life and death What is left?

Desert bloom fades to dust An empty room, slate and rust Tree limbs sway, frightful gusts Is it my heart you cannot trust? Let dead branches down To keep what we found Hidden safe and sound Let the curtains down A refuge in a million leaves She tastes the sky and then believes A serpent’s hiding up my sleeve To curse the ground that did not grieve Let dead branches down To keep what we found Hidden safe and sound Let the curtains down

I know that you have gone to bed Honey, I know that you have gone to bed But honey I would like to ask you something Ask you something Ask you something Honey I would like to ask you something Ask you something Ask you something right now Do you think this love is right? Could it change overnight someday? Could it change overnight? I know that you have driven off Honey, I know that you have driven off But honey I would like to ask you something Ask you something Ask you something Honey I would like to ask you something Ask you something Asking you something right now If you could come back to stay Would we fix all our mistakes somehow? Would we fix all our mistakes? I know we're going to buy the farm Honey, I know we're going to buy the farm But honey I would like to ask you something Ask you something Ask you something Honey I would like to ask you something Ask you something ASk you something

Hey Your light shows Your light shows Your light shows Your light shows Never know How far it goes How far it goes How far it goes What you leave behind All the light still shines In someone's memory Hey Your light shows Your light shows Your light shows Your light shows You're full grown You're full grown Stepping stones Steps unknown You're full grown There is a place You can go to retrace Whatever it was that went wrong Hey

Mistletoe; hardened snow Twilit glow; a memory grows Frosted den; a draft seeps in Candles dim on shimmering skin Do me eyes fade into a haze? A serenade of cloud and shade I'm still trying To understand What makes this man Where does he stand Don't you know my heart is yours? My heart is yours My heart is yours Don't you know my heart is yours? My heart is yours My heart is yours Perish does the spring, oh how it does sting Life's full swing and the night bell means nothing Desert sun overcome And we've begun to love this one Your bed a sea of fallen leaves Crawl beneath to find your peace The words are gone, my tongue won't speak Will you wait for me? Will you wait for me? Don't you know my heart is yours? My heart is yours My heart is yours Don't you know my heart is yours? My heart is yours My heart is yours

Folding 04:39
Sometimes I remember, dear Never to forget To look back, train tracks Lead back to when we met A train ride, a line of sight Unraveling a lifetime Time, time is folding around us Time, time will swallow us whole We share a window a half glow of summer stars To repair a hollow Shine and show, mended and marred I stare; you know Light throws us out and far Light, light is folding around us Light, light will swallow us whole At midnight conversion Gateways our hungry eyes To know without hesitation What waits for us under blistering skies Is a sweltering love everladen Life is a paradise Love, love is folding around us Love, love will swallow us whole

Our paths point east A past deceased Long loved at least Fully fledged and released The hands of time are closing in A mind stretched so thin Neither one can win Your kith or kin When I'm alone in the dark A hermit's home makes its mark But you belong at the heart of it all Your would not find grace In your lover's ways Such a manic pace A hard line to trace Life's path it narrows fast What you see behind the glass A love that spoils or a love that lasts Gradually is all we ask When I'm alone in the dark A hermit's home makes its mark But you belong at the heart of it all

Out of Sight 05:13
"Wake up" sun says "Don't have all day" "Got your fair share To learn again" "Make up your mind Keep it or leave it behind" "Don't stop just yet Chase the sunset" In the night I'm out of sight In the night I'm out of sight Might just be alright Keep your mouth shut No ifs, no buts You know it's wrong Running your mouth the day long Say your hellos Hide it where it always shows Don't show your hand They won't understand, just won't understand In the night I'm out of sight In the night I'm out of sight Might just be alright Might just be alright I'm out of sight, I'm out of sight Might just be alright

I know that you care When you're right there Know that you love Love me to death Love me to death Sometimes I forget Sometimes I forget I know I can seem To be out of reach But that's just me I'm within reach I'm within reach Or I'm lost at sea I'm lost at sea And there's no land No land in sight And there's no land No land in sight I know that you care When you're right there When you're right there When you're right there
