Take
05:02
|
|||
Rough waters come, rough waters go
Wade to the shore, nobody knows
When death comes, we all fall to pieces
Struggle to give, struggle to take
But no other love, a big mistake
Lie to her face, poison the well
Sit back and watch her mind release
No voice from me, never at peace
Bad comes to worse, worse comes to worst
Tear it apart, cut to me first
When endings come we fall to pieces
Sit back and watch her love release
Nothing for me, not in the least
Don’t take my baby
Don’t take her from me
Don’t take her away

The Real Me
04:27
|
|||
Pack it up, pack it up
leave your things behind you
brace the rails
hoist the sails come find you
Winter’s deep, little sleep
and I stoop to kiss you
slap my face
leave this place, I miss you.
Will it last, will it last
if this is how I treat you
where will I be when your dreams come true
See the world, steal the world
leave a mark so they know me
own it all, big and small
will it show me
Back at home, back at home
will she be waiting for me
try my luck sailing on the sea.
When I’m gone, feeling strong
with the wind behind me
can it be that I've found the real me
will it last, will it last
if this is how I treat you
for all my love I can hardly see you
Where will I be, where will I be
when your dreams come true
In the rain, in the rain
please think fondly of me
coming home
but the life has left me.

The Loneliest Number
04:37
|
|||
The number twelve
must get so lonely
The people leave
before saying hello
They made it this far
can’t they have a little faith
Scared of what might
await them at the next door
Then when they find
the number one for them
Do any hear what
says the number twelve
Don’t let the superstition
keep you from falling
Just kiss me once
before our time is done

Ichabod
04:09
|
|||
Now I’m on fire
bound to this journey
I forget nothing
The paint starts to peel
mountains become sand
Earth forever changing
We were never wanting
And It bleeds across the sky
we have lost all contact
I’ll tell you a story
of a million little lies
would you believe them if I try?
“I’ll be just fine.”
“It’s a blessing in disguise.”
“I will not resign.”
Hopes falling down
carve this bitter taste
of loss on your tongue
picture my face
And it bleeds across the sky
we have lost all contact
Hope can be redrawn
glory is gone

Along the Banks
02:39
|
|||
I live here on the banks
of a cyclical river
no water here to be found
waves of gold and silver
I live here in shadows
of a house for the mad
it’s halls were ripe with deceit
but it’s all they thought they had
I live here in the smoke
of an age’s hope lost
where once was deep interest
now there’s just the diesel exhaust
It’s all on fire
the scraps of our life
the days have passed
this river runs underground

As October Becomes
05:04
|
|||
Past the warm sunny weather
long nights and the
sleep never comes
Still and warm I’m waiting for you
silent rain where I stand
Cast away, catching nothing
brushed off like a fly
in the sun
Nothing there
there’s nothing here
I wait my turn
Then days go by
then years go by
we’re older
As October becomes part of you
remember the lover in me
Fast asleep and I’m watching
just wait, touching
some other night
Still and warm I’m waiting for you
silent rain where I stand

Keep the Lights On
04:35
|
|||
Prayed for rain and I’m swimming home
With no restraint we’ll all turn to stone
Another dinner date we can’t afford to miss
Another couple years suspended in this bliss
Keep the lights on for me
A story I’ve yet to read
And when the wisdom catches up to our disease
I’ll be the first one sleeping underneath the seas
Prayed for sun and I’m melting fast
The party’s done, wasn’t meant to last
And you can hear the people laughing all night long
Like distant battles always singing the same song
Keep the lights on for me
A story I’ve yet to read
And when the wisdom catches up to our disease
Our fading breath will muster just a gentle breeze
When we were content
we had all we could want
but now I can’t forget
what it’s like to breathe
pretend my heart beats again
but you just can’t let go

Blow Up
07:08
|
|||
We live here inside this little box
among all the wiring
among all the memory
and all the wasted time
Take it back and we’re staring at the walls
and all the evidence
and all the fingerprints
and it proves we wasted time
Oh well
We don’t care if it kills us we’re immune
to all the guilty looks
and all the photo books
and all the wasted time
Blow up, blown out
All night, it’s alright

My Dove
05:14
|
|||
Blindly drink from the cup
living well a shirt on my back
crack the riddle
I’m on track
to see my dove
Pine for easier times
hope and pray they soon will appear
run away and hide
come here
to touch my dove
Watch me climb to the top
on shoulders sore, years underfed
I will watch TV
in bed
I’m not in love
Fly away my dove
the treasure that you leave
keeps millions in their place
my dove
Living a filthy rich life
teasing me with something new
If I was half
as pure as you
the walls come down

This Paradise
03:32
|
|||
Holding out for hope
positive, never doubt
I’m caught up in fantasy
possible, to be without
Simply try to let go
careless, live the dream
All my love, All my love
It’s warm in this house
and though the wind’s picking up
A child fast asleep
warm drinks and plenty of cups
why waste this paradise
this life
Looking for my mistakes
communicate, don’t understand
the minutes apart grow long
passable, gets out of hand
Finding some common ground
Wary of fading out
Hold my hand, a passing fad
It’s warm in this house
and though the wind’s picking up
a child fast asleep
warm drinks and plenty of cups
why waste this paradise
this life
this paradise
Now do you see the way?
I give to you
this paradise

Stay With Me
06:31
|
|||
Now I see
Leave the rest to me
Never leave
Coming down to see
Leave the rest to me
Sit and rest somewhere
Sit and stare
Stay with me

Longing In the Tooth
03:47
|
|||
We’re walking along foggy streets
with nothing around but the heat
Older by the breath
Oh, to be our best
And every town tells us a tale
of heavy hearts losses on sale
Craving mystery
From hasty trips to sea
Come weather the storm with us
we’ll tell you the truth if you must
Have you any proof
We’re longing in the tooth
Leave all your nostalgia in haste
bring only the memories you taste
We’ll circumvent the maze
And give you back your days
And when our long journey is through
we hope your desires pure and true
The curtains start to close
And everybody knows
Did happiness visit with you?
fulfillment say “How do you do?”
This is not a fight
But don’t forget to write
|

That's where I'm coming from
No real prospects
Could be I'm a lover
Without a heart
Oh, it quit at the start
Lower my standards
Don't disappoint
Could be I'm a sinking ship
In an empty sea
Oh, I'll try 'til I'm free
|

False Comfort
07:22
|
|||
Don’t you lose sleep my dear
it all comes out just fine
close your eyes and rest
and dream of coming tides
Laughing becomes a smile
and then just a sheepish grin
the weight on your eyes a must
but when did it begin
