Final Farewell
05:14
|
|||
|
The wind flows freely, flying light as air
And snatched my worries, tangled up in snares
And I've forgotten, I forgot to care
The curtains lift to see what's really there
My gaze went smoldering fixed toward the ground
And here thoughts were frozen thoughts, her eyes were brown
Douse the fire, put the candles out
Storm clouds rage and save my soul from the drought
Deeper and deeper we return
Into the fires of our words
And our farewells
They rose and swelled
But now they've sunk into the ground
I hope you're keeping what you've found
I cut my hair and changed my native name
Doors will open and shut and there's no one to blame
Nothing's certain it never stays the same
Now that my debt's been paid I'll be on my way
Deeper and deeper we return
Into the fires of our words
And our farewells
They rose and swelled
But now they've sunk into the ground
I hope you're keeping what you've found

A Thousand Times
03:30
|
|||
|
Water under the bridge
Living like a fish would
I fall asleep, I drown
And sink like syrup
I'd grant your every wish
Reaching through the rosewood
And your friends will hold me down
From so high up
I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times
What you're doing has no reason or rhyme
But you may never understand
Now that it's true and I've surely lost my mind
There's nothing here for you to find
That's not already in your hands
The seasons change for you
Grape vines in the vineyard
Your lips are shut so tight
Devouring the sun stars
And I'll breathe the morning dew
Silent like the blackbird
And I've got the urge to fight
And break through these bars
I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times
What I'm doing has no reason or rhyme
But I may never understand
Now that it's true and I've surely lost my mind
There's nothing here for you to find
That's not already in your hands

Bring My Body Home
07:05
|
|||
|
You can stay in my hermit house
With your only son
And speak in foreign tongues
And we'll if my ghost
Follows you out at dawn
To see if my ghost follows your song
All that's left of my body now
Well it's less than one
It cannot be undone
But we'll see where ghost
Wanders to now that it has won
Bring my body home
See I've grown quite fond of things
That do not include
You tearing me to shreds
But we'll see if my ghost
Is more brave than I could ever be
For he is no more than a memory of me
Witches at my window and the doorbell rings
But I'm not in the mood
For sharing my bed
But we'll see if my ghost
Would like to steal you all instead
He hasn't got a heart or a brain up in his head
Bring my body home

Wonder Why
05:03
|
|||
|
Sweep away the cobwebs off the cracking walls
And their voices have no words
The answers question as the daylight falls
Like the quietest sound I've ever heard
And I've been wondering why
Twigs and branches turning into a forest
And growing out of my ears
The crying kid cling to what I couldn't forget
What I couldn't seem to hear
And I've been wondering why
The picket fence returns itself to shambles
But it's such a pretty sight
Got no time for romance, you know love is a gamble
And I lost it all in one night
And I've been wondering why
|
||||
5. |
||||
|
You might wonder where I'm off to now
I'll let you know when I return
And I've been wandering trying to find out how
Your love is so strong despite what's wrong with me
There's nothing greater in this world than that
I can't say how far I'll go
The only single thing I know
I can only promise this
I'll remember, yes I will
But if'n you should change your mind
The door was wide open the whole time
I can only promise this
I'll set you free, yes I will
Don't you hesitate to take my hand
I just don't know how long it's going to last
Fear is the only that really can
Stop you dead right in your tracks
And there's nothing greater in this world than that
I can't say how far I'll go
The only single thing I know
I can only promise this
I'll remember, yes I will
But if'n you should change your mind
The door was wide open the whole time
I can only promise this
I'll set you free, yes I will

One Step Forward

My friends all got ivory teeth
And we huddle 'neath a cloud of smoke that feels like a breeze
And she's the one with the iron voice
And she throws me all around like I'm an old chew toy
And I say "You know me oh so well"
Back home he's got a mountain of dope
And we ride it on a rocket through a telescope
She's made of maple like she's nailed to the floor
I know she knows she loves me, she don't know what for
They know me oh so well
Friends are fortune, be them good or bad
They may not know how lonesome, may not know how sad
Preaching like pianos played by fingerless ghosts
But I know they'll always be there when I need 'em the most
But they don't know me so well

Corina
04:34
|

There are some things that cannot be chosen
They just fall like rain and you get so soaked in them
It's your thawing breath and my heart is unfrozen
And my veins reveal how it's supposed to feel
Corina
You're a guardian angel over me
Corina
You may not believe what you see
But it will be what it will be
There are just some things that become so easy
When we're not convinced that we're no good
From here it's all downhill, you know just how to please
And all I want do is love you like I should
Corina
You're a guardian angel over me
Corina
You may not believe what you see
But what's meant to be will be

My Baby Girl
03:46
|
|||
|
Nobody knows just where we're going
But it's all right with me
You're so good at keeping love a-flowing
All the way from the bottom of the sea
You're my baby girl
I know sometimes my mind get troubled
But please don't get scared
Before I met you it was doubled
And I ain't going anywhere
You're my baby girl
In this life there's no guarantee, love
That either one of us will survive the day
I can only tell you what I see, love
And it's your gorgeous face
You're my baby girl

Our New Story
05:42
|

|
You are something magical
A doorway to a brand new world
Just how will our stories unfold
From hear on
You are so incredible
You light me like a star-bright bulb
And every single dream I hold
Lies beyond
Why can't we forever watch the sunset?
Of course we can
Falling deep in love, why don't we get undressed
And just hold hands?
Your wish is my command
However far away you are
However distant you may be
I will listen to your far off songs
In the air
It's too god to not be true
I love you and yes you love me too
And I've never felt a touch that soothes
And could even compare
Why can't we forever watch the sunset?
Of course we can
Falling deep in love, why don't we get undressed
And just hold hands?
Your wish is my command
You are something magical
A doorway to a brand new world
Just how will our stories unfold
A doorway to a brand new world
