Little Watchtower
05:16
|
|||
The streetlights in the valley
Telling people when to go
Give me somewhere to focus
In the night descending slow
Here from my Little watchtower
I can see for miles around
Here from my Little watchtower
Couldn't tell you what it is I've found
Here's to the home up the canyon
Here's to that cricket song
Here's to this warm isolation
That has held us this close for this long
Here from our Little Watchtower
We can watch as our dreams come alive
Here from our Little Watchtower
Couldn't tell you what it means to survive
Feelings arise in one moment
And each moment falls with the leaves
Words slip away with the sunlight
To make room for what the moonlight relieves
There from your Little Watchtower
Can you catch us waving at you?
There from your Little Watchtower
Sharing the same shade of blue

When The Grass Is Grown
02:43
|

Many wonders of the world
Await you now
You've been dancing with the whispers
In the clouds
Soon your head will be spinning
Running around
Did you notice the world stopped spinning there
Just for a little while?
When the grass is grown
Will you come home like you told me?
When the stars fall down
So cold, will you hold me?
Thistles will grow up
To fill our voids
Blue jays will carry the wind
In our voices
Oh, we leave it chance
When we don't have a choice
But when the dust of summer returns
You know I will rejoice
When the grass is grown
Will you come home like you told me?
When the stars fall down
So cold, will you hold me?

Queen Of Pomona
03:53
|
|||
In the day and through the dark
My love goes with you, meadowlark
Crying up, over and yon
Cry until you reach the dawn
I love you as the seasons fade
Even as the grass turns gray
Even when you cannot speak
The thoughts spill over just out of reach
She's my Queen Of Pomona
Kicking Corona
She's my Queen Of Pomona
Kicking Corona
She's my Queen Of Pomona
My Queen Of Pomona
Down the highway, across the hall
People yell and your future calls
I gaze into your heart enthralled
I'm waiting darling through it all
I love you as the moon appears
Illuminating all our fears
Silver hills and roving eyes
Are waiting for the sun to rise
She's my Queen Of Pomona
Kicking Corona
She's my Queen Of Pomona
Kicking Corona
She's my Queen Of Pomona
My Queen Of Pomona

Soft & Spry
02:25
|
|||
Foggy window panes
Foggy window panes
Twirling weathervanes
Twirling weathervanes
No longer passing trains
Or mere lovers
Down in the rocky glade
Blue-eyed grassy glade
Where you sink your spade
Where you sink your spade
The path down which you've strayed
Are there others?
Don't you think it's time to plant a seed?
Or are you sure that this is all we need?
Ground is all but dry
Ground is all but dry
A mirror for the sky
A mirror for the sky
Seedlings soft and spry
Like us lovers
Just like the daffodils
Just like the daffodils
The love inside us spills
The love inside us spills
Out over trees and hills
Out and over
Out and over
Out and over
Out and over
Out and over

I've found my Little Galaxy
I've found my Little Galaxy
Shining up from the black icy sea
Shining up from the black icy sea

I Should Know Better
02:34
|
|||
Waiting
Waiting night and day
Waiting night and day for you
Waiting night and day
Waiting night and day
I Should Know Better
I Should Know Better than that
Sun
Summer's coming
Any moment
Walls, walls are tumbling
Wall are tumbling down
And I Should Know Better
I Should Know Better than that
I Should Know Better
I Should Know Better than that

No Rushing Life
04:17
|
|||
I can't remember where I started from
But baby here I come
Baby here I come
Around
I built these walls, I built them brick by brick
To see which one of these stones would stick
Which one of these stones would stick
Around
I climbed on top of a wall so high
Lifted my head up to look at the sky
And I fell straight down
To the ground
I was certain from the day that we met
That I would not forget
I would not forget
What we've found
Maybe we're afraid we're running too fast
Maybe we're afraid this time it isn't gonna last
You know there's no doorway to the past
Just keep both feet on the ground
You've got to realize
You've got to realize
You've got to realize
There's No Rushing Life
You've got to realize
You've got to realize
You've got to realize
There's No Rushing Life
You've got to realize

Following My Shadow
05:50
|
|||
Sun shone only in the west today
Burned like hell on the worst of days
I've seen a bead of sweat
Turn to steam on the asphalt
I'm heading out from the western hills
It's where I live these days, where I pay the bills
I can't help it
Sometimes I just have to leave it all
It doesn't all make sense to me
To be free to be or to be free from me
It's a conundrum
It's inescapable, you see
The sun is low, the shadows long
I'll follow them to find a song
That could lead me
That could me back home
I'm Following My Shadow again
I wish I knew to what end
I'm following this shadow
And it's taking me down the road
They said it'll be alright with me
Just as soon as I turn twenty-three
Now I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright
I didn't think that I could take much more
If I ever got twenty-four
Now I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright
The sidewalk's sizzling and there's no shade
The only shade's what my body's made
It's a desolated promenade
That steals my breath
But something turns me the eastern plains
Perhaps a fragment still remains
Of a life
Of a life of a thousand deaths
Sun shone only in the west today
Burned like hell on the worst of days
I saw a bead of sweat
Turn to steam on the asphalt
I'm heading out from the western hills
It's where I live these days, where I pay the bills
I can't help it
Sometimes I just have to leave it all
I'm Following My Shadow again
I wish I knew to what end
I'm following this shadow
And it's taking me down the road
They said it'll be alright with me
Just as soon as I turn twenty-three
Now I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright
I didn't think that I could take much more
If I ever got twenty-four
Now I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright

Glad I Do Not Know
06:13
|
|||
I can see nothing past the mist
Only a leaf floating past our kiss
What seems so possible and what seems within reach
Is out in the mystery, is all that we do not wish to beseech
And I know the rain will turn to snow
And I see all that is make-believe
And I do not care, I would not dare
There is a fantasy in every step I breathe
And I am glad, I am glad I cannot see
I am glad, I am Glad I Do Not Know
I am glad, I am glad I cannot reach
The future, the future
The future, the future
All that we do not know creates the tapestry
All that we do not see is all that's in front of me
It's okay to be in disbelief
To speak of what you haven't seen
Or never have conceived
It's okay to not know
And I am glad, I am glad I cannot see
I am glad, I am Glad I Do Not Know
I am glad, I am glad I cannot reach
The future, the future
The future, the future
The future, the future

There's No Way
03:45
|
|||
All of my daydreams
Turn to night schemes
Turn to night terrors
And you know that There's No Way
To look behind the curtain
You're always holding your breath
Then a long sigh
As the day dies
And you know that There's No Way
To ever know for certain
And with both my eyes closed
I see inside
Places to hide
And you know that There's No Way
To really know just where it's hurtin'

Golden Opportunity
03:17
|

All of my life
All of my life
I just sat there
Waiting on some Golden Opportunity
To come around
All of my life
All of my life
I just sat there
Waiting on some Golden Opportunity
To come around
All of my life
All of my life
I just sat there
Waiting on some Golden Opportunity
To come around
All of my life
All of my life
I just sat there
Waiting on some Golden Opportunity
To come around
All of my life
All of my life
I just sat there
Waiting on some Golden Opportunity
To come around
All of my life
All of my life
I just sat there
Waiting on some Golden Opportunity
To come around

Roads Stretch On
03:23
|
|||
I can see where the path is leading
But how far will it go?
Roads Stretch On far out of sight
How far do they go?
How far do they go?
Do they go?
Will you die tomorrow night?
There's just no way to know
Memory drifts far out of sight
Like blinding blizzard snow
Blinding blizzard snow
Blizzard snow
I lay sleeping in my bed
My loved one at my side
Maybe I should be so scared
It may be the last time
It may be the last time
The last time

I Love You So

I Love You So
I Love You So
I Love You So
I Love You So
I long to say
These words
Singing to you every day
Like the birds
I Love You So
I Love You So
I Love You So
I Love You So
I long to meet
Your gaze
Diving so deep into your eyes
For the rest of my days
Of my days
Of my days
I Love You So
I Love You So
I Love You So
I Love You So

In The Moonlight
05:15

Follow me In The Moonlight
Follow me In The Moonlight
Silvery trees In The Moonlight
Silvery trees In The Moonlight
These things we see in the daylight
Were still here when the night rose
All the stars in the night show
All the stars in the night show
In their light that burns so dim
Their light that burns so cold sometimes
You might have to feel your way
Follow me In The Moonlight
Come walk with me In The Moonlight
Follow me with these
Silvery trees In The Moonlight
Everything silver
Everything silver
In The Moonlight
In The Moonlight
I wish the moon would never set
I wish it always gazed down upon me
I wish the moon would dance around for some time
I wish that it did not have to be on the other side of the world
The moonlight burns softly
Like your burning heartbeat
It leaves these spaces
For us to imagine
What there could be in the shadows
Where we see these shadows
What could be hiding in the shadows
What we see in the shadows
What we see in the shadows
In The Moonlight
In The Moonlight
In The Moonlight
In The Moonlight
In The Moonlight
