Cold Feet
04:06
|

Cold feet and a tie
rise to the occasion
a million tiny flashlights
i gotta turn it off
for a while I'll keep my place
so tonight I stay so late
go sleep for a while
too much conversation
too much information
I've gotta turn it off
for a while I'll keep my place
and tonight I stay so late
and here we are...

hold me back
because I want to
I want to
hear me out
'cause I'm talking
about you
I called it's name
and the water
was lifted
I felt her hand
lead me down to the creek
we laid drenched in the heat
carry on, she said
to the voice inside of her head
there was no sound
'til the rain came down
a quiet hum
becomes her
in this place
leather hands...
he smiles like a thief
steals the tears off her face
carry on, she said
to the voice inside of her head
there was no sound
'til the rain came down
how it feels to lay in the soft light
in the soft light, oh
feel the rain as it comes down
gently washes past your throat
hold steady
please remember what you saw
I'll wait forever and ever
a quiet life
a fixture
a tight frame
beat beat beat
as the heart tries
to maintain life
we can't go back
and we've known it for hours
we give up more and then more
and then bring down the house
as we walk out the door
carry on, she said
to the voice inside of her head
there was no sound
'til the rain came down
how it feels to lay in the soft light
in the soft light, oh
feel the rain as it comes down
gently washes past your throat
hold steady
please remember what you saw
I'll wait forever and ever
you'll find what you've found
when you dig in the ground

Afraid of Summer
03:58
|
|||
I'm afraid of summer
because you know I can't swim
I get lost in the water
when the tide pulls me in
below her gently
her feet in the clay
she searches for answers
in his shadowy face
I'm afraid of summer
because you know I can't swim
I get lost in the water
when the tide pulls me in
the neighbors whisper
wonder if they should care
they find her talking with no one
softly kissing the air
down the stairwell
the day that he left
her body remembers
what the mind will forget
I'm afraid of summer
because you know I can't swim
I get lost in the water
when the tide pulls me in
you can never go home

Kangaroo
04:10
|
|||
gold teeth, slight of hand
steal away to a northern town
there upon a wishing well
a fathers son, a mother's hell
those were the cards for me
those were the cards for me, uh huh
we'll I learned it fast and I cut it clean
turned like a cog in a vast machine
and I know those were the cards for me
those were the cards for me
I had it once, but I lost the trail
I might get better but I won't get well
those were the cards for me
those were the cards for me
I know what's right
I've done my time
I know what's right
I wont' change my mind
one more chance to match the pieces
you can't believe the odds I'm up against
one roll of the dice
and I'm up again
one roll of the dice

glowing in the dark
there was something that you hid
talking in your sleep
you let words slip out your mouth
elemental words fill the chambers of my heart
you become a comet and I'll chase you in the dark
cooing at the sky I watch you like a bird
the air was getting thin and my coat was wearing out
you would close your eyes, think of what your father said
in the belly of the beast we travel
fill your head with bubbles

The Sailor
03:39

all my friends have gone away
they fell in love
oh they fell in love
the wind is blowing but we’re standing still
they fell in love
oh they fell in love
i see them laying on the ocean floor
and they never looked back
oh they never looked back
the wind is blowing but we’re standing still
and they never looked back
oh they never looked back
it’s never how it should have been
feel the salty wind
on my salty skin
the wind is blowing but we’re standing still
and they never looked back
oh they never looked back

Wonderful World
03:35
|

standing in the mountain snow
the brilliance of the lightning glows around her
hoping to have seen a ghost
he leads her by the hand beyond the doorway
it’s all just fine for the moment
because if feels just fine for the moment
we have such a wonderful world
smiles at the sight of her face
he meets her at the train that comes through downtown
the sound of the angels choir
he takes her by the hand
he takes her by the hand
we have such a wonderful world
we have such a wonderful world

Through Your Bones
03:54
|
|||
pack your things
on your back
on your back
we sail in the morning
for the land beyond the sun
find your fate
on the tracks
on the tracks
file away to the flatlands
for the day
for the day
send your pay
with the steamships in the bay
work your fingers
till they falter
yet the job
is never done
keep your soul
safe from danger down below
as you wait to join your fathers
in their place
cold wind blows
through your bones
through your bones
yet the river keeps the future
like a secret
when she floods
stake your claim
on your back
on your back
pull the dirt into the hole
where you will lay
pack your things
on your back
on your back
we sail in the morning
for the land beyond the sun
find your fate
on the tracks
on the tracks
file away to the flatlands
for the day
for the day
cold wind blows
through your bones
through your bones
yet the river keeps the future
like a secret
when she floods
pull you up
from the ash
and the earth
to a child that might remember
still alive and in her blood
twenty years
asleep in a state of grace
come together till we find
find a way home
come together
rise
come together home

Gossamer

|

gossamer wings
sprang from her shoulders
she said her goodbye
and took to the sky
a quick, icy grip took hold
under the ship and told
all that you wanted to know
the call of the wild that you
knew as a child, and through-
out your whole life
you never thought twice
what’s under your skin is where
you really begin, i say
i know what’s bringing you down

Dead Moon
03:04
|
|||
on the clock
you never let me think of quitting
"our" shop
'd be nice 'f you paid a visit
or any mind
I'm a stranger without the time.
accident
shouldn't o' flown in nasty weather
all alone
'bet your last words were stupid
the god of fire
purifies the missing wires
hiders hide
intents to play both sides
you don't dare ask them why
this dead horse is a liar
the tables turn
like tricks, an instant fix
you'll know what you've found
on a dead moon

Your Name Is A Fire
03:05
|
|||
alea put me out
your name is a fire
oh, your name is a fire
just be a cake
a big cherry cake
and you’ll stick to the ribs
of the men
of the men that will swallow you
alea put me out
your name is a fire
oh, your name is a fire
alea put me out
your name is a fire
oh, your name is a fire
just be a lion
a bellicose lion
and i’ll fall to the side
to make way
to make way for the magnitude
freedom
it’s not fine if it’s not broke, you know
downstairs, by the waiting car
filled with clothes and the things you love
is it any wonder
i never see the flash before the thunder?
i gotta take a moment
i gotta have a moment, now
i gotta take it moment to moment to moment
