Morning
04:16
|
|||
|
The sun came up
You were wearing no clothes
As your eyelids came near
I dried a single tear
And the covers began to tell
The morning wore its spell
Upon our empty light
Still drowning the night
In dreams of you
Where do you want to go?
We can take the long way home
You keep changing your mind on me
Baby just keep making this easy
We walk so deafeningly slow
You hold a little clove
In a jar you made of glass
The city busses pass us in time and rhyme
And the butterfly here sings
About the weight that you bring to both of my eyes
As I started to cry in the backseat of your car
Where do you want to go?
We can take the long way home
You keep changing your mind on me
Baby just keep making this easy

Cherry Blossoms
02:30
|
|||
|
Oak peels and gone by the wind
And your empty sound remains on the back of the trail
Coming around the bend all night
I give you the ride, give you the ride out of town
Not wanting more
Never faded green like it did before
Oh
Cherry blossoms she’s gone in the fall
And the silk we caught worming my way underground
And the last time that we spoke, ‘round the alarm, heart jumping up and down
And the door hinge swings in and out of time
Drum kicking it down for the hundredth time
Oh

Her Body
03:10
|
|||
|
The forest creaks,
My river burning inside you tongues are near me free
Whatever bothers water thin,
the cracks and though you miss me see
Where I go
Running deep
In the fog
A misty need
And she opens asway
And her body swings May
And she opens asway
And her body swings May
The light that falls and penny wiser
Than the daughter’s trust fell clean
The burden or the aftermath
Just let the ocean cover me keep
What I saw
She fell into me
And we go
Rolling on
And she opens asway
And her body swings May
And she opens asway
And her body swings May

Take Both the Chair
03:03
|
|||
|
Take both the chair
And the empty bottle
That I’d spoke to you
And the nights now cottle
Run and your arms for not brazen the spell
The walls were now ringing it rings like a bell
Your voice calls in numbers
They leave multiply
The only one here is my love left to die
Fallen my ears and the train leaves a caw
The rails and now hunting she came loved me raw
The last of the ocean’s salt
Cuts a knife and the weight now crawl
Armies they build
At the border finish
Take me appear
In the morning cot it
The line that we’re holding it tears and black white
The devil she’s turning and lost in the light
We disappear in the green herb showing
Fallen my ears and the train leaves a caw
The rails and now hunting she came loved me raw
The last of the ocean’s salt
Cuts a knife and the weight now crawl

Cobblestone
05:27
|
|||
|
We could walk through cobblestone and in the morning light
To and fro the carousel turns, and drunk she lost her bike
And ran through city roads
The tumbling broken bells
Called out in foreign tongue
Never knew me well
Oh, and I take what you don’t see me breathe
Gaping quietly, knees holding the breeze
Walking two by two, light on my rail
She slid down through rings and winded in the mail
Long before the storm grew clear we never cast a stone
Trippin’ on the memory of river and the bone
Washed up, we made to break for
Whenever see me now
In naked color frame you burst for loud
Oh, and I take what you don’t see me breathe
Gaping quietly, knees holding the breeze
Walking two by two, light on my rail
She slid down through rings and winded in the mail
Where in the kind
Caught her eye
Let me go through
Sunny side
Flipped on a net
She crossed my wives
Counting on a crane’s penny
Still inside
The fruit burst the juice
Fell from the sky
Whenever I see her there
Roll the dye
It swirled and splattered clean
Wooded elf
She sat beside her bed
Do me well
|

|
I don’t wanna go to the party
But since you’re here, I’ll stay for a while
You hand me a bottle of whiskey
And soon I’m feeling pretty high
Just looking at the sky with you
In a backyard with the navy blue
You’re rubbing both your knees into my eyes
My hips are getting noisy and tired
I’m quiet and you know me too,
I love it when you sing the blues

Kites
02:23
|
|||
|
Both my waters rise
In the morning where she hides, and I know you
And I don’t know your name
But it hurts
Banter and a kink
The darkness where we sink is fooled out
And the empty space where she hides inside is dead
I see the kites
Flowing through the sky
Wherever they wander to
Oh, open up your eyes
|
||||
8. |
||||
|
Hold me in time to your song
Golden never leaving, leaving dawn
The day she held my heart in her palm
Whole as the night to the carry on
And all the birds
Got to know by now
Fly to somewhere new
There was nothing ‘till
I found you
I should have known that you would lie
Everything you told me to never hide
Beside the crimson of the wood
And the fire as it eats up my insides

Hope
03:47
|
|||
|
Pack your bags
The anchor’s fallen brought me to my knees
And she’s leaving again
There’s nothing to
The make believe the spaces where we crept
I don’t know why
Seasons change and all my hope is banking on a lake
She met me on a hot day in mid July
You’re gone and I can’t find you
Where your voice will never carry though
your words are coming met me by a stream
And there’s no way
The sun is falling the same way that it does
3 hours before my mind
In the Midwest
You brought me to the valleys and they shake
You’re restless by the wind
Seasons change and all my hope is banking on a lake
She met me on a hot day in mid July
You’re gone and I can’t find you
Where your voice will never carry though
your words are coming met me in a dream
The nights were drawn and cast
My heavy stones
The road it never stops
Breaking dawn the steel was made
The ropes are brought and tired
Seasons change and all my hope is banking on a lake
She met me on a hot day in mid July
You’re gone and I can’t find you
Where your voice will never carry though
your words are coming met me in a dream

Waving Goodbye
03:28
|
|||
|
In the morning spark a sun
Like a bird you struck my heart like love
Eyes open bigger than mine
I heard song when you knew my clever heart
All the stars are waving, waving goodbye
I can’t have her stay even one more night
Look down to my wrist I think she is right
All my time is waving, waving goodbye
Snap to my soul, I’m awake
Your heart from you is all I would take
If I had lungs to sing
I’d give you every breath, every thing
All the stars are waving, waving goodbye
I can’t have her stay even one more night
Look down to my wrist I think she is right
All my time is waving, waving goodbye
