Lyrics:
Give, give, give, up until you're bored with it Push me in, unlock my eyes again It's 5 AM, the one clear thought I got is you, don't go, yah right Heading north, there's something about a false sunrise How can this be? You never learned to actualize? It's 5 AM, the unclear thoughts I got of you, don't go, yah right Don't wanna be your good man, don't wanna be your main man, don't wanna see you when I see me, let me disappear into the air you're breathingLyrics:
All I do, wait for you, everything's here, just the way you left it Green stone, on the piano, you know I hold it, when I'm feeling low Baby you, fragile as an egg, all that I can do, is balance you on a spoon It's all I do, think of you, ain't nothing new, time stands still I'm in your room, echoes of your laugh, lightning on the moon, the shadow in my heart Beats for youLyrics:
All my hate, is mummified, Wrapped in gold, protected by, my baby's eyes. Is it too late, to testify? Where would I be, without you by my side? My baby's side, I'm holding on.Lyrics:
I don't need someone, to bring me back to life The sun breaks into a million pieces of fire Saints are marching, through the storm, but they brought nothing home There is power hiding in the stones, that we threw out to sea There is blood, pushing up through, the crane's neck as she flies Close your eyes, close your eyes, there is love you cannot see Close your eyes, close your eyes, in my heart you'll always be I can understand, why she left it all behind, fix my tie before you leave Mama tiger's eye, I don't want your life, but leave your stripes with meLyrics:
Tidal wave, I'm bringing it back again Water receding showing you what's always been there I don't care, about naming you anything Words dying off my skin, I'm new again Dragonflies, we're on top of a floating rock What important things are really left to consider Cause I don't care, death lives in everything Lava in your eyes, and now I'm a pile of ashes Come with me, there's nothing left to take, come with me, what I thought I had it's burned away What is love? It's right here, inside you, inside me. Little shoes, staring up at the moon You will never know the way that I feel about you. I don't care, delivering me this pain Just wonder if if the train will ever leave the stationLyrics:
Love and leave me with some light, Plants in the back, I watered 'em one time Tore the door off the hinge, What better way, to invite you in? Love and leave me feeling blind Never saw the world, til I saw it through your eyes Lost the cherry in June, since that day, I've never felt the blues Fall in.Lyrics:
Song for my youth, there's beauty in the dirt, smile, half moon, eclipsing all it should Erin's on the cobblestone, she's all I've ever known of truth and love I wanted nothing from her, just to be around a perfect thing A-men, now I'm dreaming of fish and rain and breezes on the sand A-men, how I'm beaming, the less of me the more gets colored in Song for my youth, there's beauty in the hurt, you taught me how to suffer till it was all I understood You're laughing at the table, till you cried and were not able, to show lack You threw down your shield, though unstable, no one cut you in the back A-men, now I'm dreaming of fish and rain and breezes on the sand A-men, how I'm beaming, the less of me the more gets colored inLyrics:
Don't look for me here, don't look for me there I'm out on the beat, in between your teeth I'm up in the heat, on the roof where we, decided to leap Don't listen for me, to call your name, my burning heart It bled on your page, you kill me girl, a simmering rage What can ya do? What can you say? Strangers again. Don't wait for a sign, a ladder at night I'm already gone, what remains? This despair, it's out of my range You kill me girl, a devilish rain Then out of the blue, we became, strangers again.Lyrics:
When she stops smiling, it's time to go Place a mirror, on every door, don't need to ask her When she stops laughing at herself, puts her freedom, somewhere else, what's there to ask her? If I, could rewind, what would I say? Hold the pearl, in the right, it slips away Words kept falling, into plans, the tide kept rising, her moonlit hands, no need to ask her The one who saved you, took your life, gave up the blade, don't act surprised, nothing to ask her If I, could rewind, what would I say? Hold the pearl, in the right, it slips away What a world, what a ride, I love ya babeLyrics:
Tie a ribbon to your hair, remember what its like to be free Brought you to the country fair, you held my dreams so plain Held my dreams so plain We were born just fine, ripped away from the light Honey we can bear the fight, reconnect the wires Reconnect the wires Look into my eyes, hold it there When I say I dont want much, I mean nothing at all Im gonna burn my uptight, spread the ashes on the sea Spread the ashes on the seaLyrics:
If I followed love, I wouldnt know your name I would be with someone else, wishing I were free And all Im trying to say is do what you please You are not my prisoner Louise Twenty nine years, Im looking for a clue Something to put my mind at ease I think Im coming through, I think Ill sit down For once, Ill let it come to me And all Im trying to say, is do what you please Just be kind to yourself Louise When you came to me, you barely had a string Tied or connected to anything Isnt that the way, no one hears you sing And no one calls upon you Louise Until youve had enough, of lying in bed Making movies in your head Its time to go out, and walk that certain way Show them why they call you Louise And its hard to understand, no matter what we try Loneliness will never leave our sideLyrics:
So far gone is my mind, so far gone is my mind Im not, the man that you once knew Ive shot, an arrow through the womb So far gone is the sun, so far gone is the sun I grew, far from your vine We threw, our seeds in space and time So far gone, so far gone So far gone is romance, so far gone is romance Ive lost, the skin of a woman Youve lost, the safety of a manLyrics:
You only know a charming man, only know a charming man You dont hear the hammering, you dont see the wagon off the rails Comes a time when you must re-build, comes a time when you must re-build Morning bends the colors around your shape, I love to see your beauty in this way Dorean, Dorean Been so long since I talked to God, been so long since I talked to God Water rushes down an empty cave, water pushes all the love I gave The man sang his song in my dream, long black hair and crooked teeth And every note he struck I do believe, is everything unsung inside of meLyrics:
Everybody goes, everybody goes 321, hear the gun, everybody goes Everybody goes, everybody goes, I know youre scared, I feel it too, everybody goes I wont desert you, I wont desert you, everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows Easy to run hard to stay, everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows Hard to love easy to lay, everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows Hard to be easy to stray, everybody knowsLyrics:
Drill a hole into a tree, out comes the swarm Finding it hard to be, the man Ive sworn to be Remembering delays, the moment I laid in your concrete sheets We looked into the eye of the morning, everything Everything, everything Walking slowly, through a dream, on the ocean floor Not quite sure, where I am, Ive felt this before Remembering the day when Sammy, decided to spin my ring We looked into the eye of the morning, everything I believe there is a part of me, untouched and unseen I bite into the rind to redeem, everythingLyrics:
Riding waves jumping out of airplanes Spinning down erasing all your memories Lying on my shoulder worried bout your mother Found you head rolling down the alley Spent the day looking for your body Remember how I met you, dancing to the music Grey eyes, grey eyes, feeling blue Sacrificed too many moments Another grain of sand in the ocean You decorate your door, you tell me that its always open A part of me is gone, I dont ask how and I dont ask why Mining for jewels in the mountains No one in town wants to buy them Time gets you thinking, thinking gets you crying Youre searching for a friend, but youre too busy tryingLyrics:
Marrow come, marrow stay, took a stone, and threw it on the lake Woke up early every day, to tell my dreams to her before they slipped away The melody is understood, and it will sing for you, if you think it could Glory be to all thats good, rock to rock, wood to wood Man it felt like I was dying, when you held me through the night And when my well was drying, you rained down the mountain side Marrow come, marrow stay, I know that theres nothing I can say I hide the burden from face, so she can smile without carrying my weightLyrics:
Your hearts too big, you let everybody in Yah you gave too much away You let em feel for you, you let em feel for you You let em feel for you, now they feel for you The words you spill, theyre overgrown Now you dont know what to say You let em love for you, you let em love for you You let em love for you, you let em love for you The rose you picked, cant reach the sun In the middle of the day You let em season you, you let em season you You let em season you, now the seas in youLyrics:
Gone, yah Ive been gone, I cant say how long You, you found my child, buried in the sand, of paradise Sad, its all been sad, picking through the trash Honey I am rotten, and youre how it was But were painted right, in paradise, in paradise I watch the winter, turn to spring Its in the simple things So take a moment, and let it die, and rise again In paradise Shes pouring salt, into the ocean And Im floating home, yah Im floating home, I said Im floating home To paradiseLyrics:
River drove me down, everything I own Everything Ive polished, everythings a loan River cooled me down and brought me to you My sweet solace, my unturned stone Baby cut her hair, it fell down to the floor I could not recognize her, hand on the door The sun is sinking low, I see you going out Walking with a shadow, a shadow of a doubt I love you, yes I do, I love you, you know I do When youre lost in time, honey Ill be there Floating down the river, throwing you a lineLyrics:
I break a part my day, into pieces just for you What more can I say, Id do anything for you Theres nothing that I want, so bad to make me leave I watch the river run, and wind away from me So easy, so easy, its so easy, so easy My head isnt straight, you know it never was But Im working every day, doing it for us Anything for you, Id do anything for you Anything for you, Id do anything for youLyrics:
Walking through this tired life Heavier than yesterday Pushing flowers out my eyes, waiting on the summer rain You see the children play outside Bursting out a thousand suns Do you know what it feels like, waiting till the summer comes? Im not a man who lost it all I still got the light in me Not sinking like a cannon ball Im floating on the endless sea Talking through these tired lines Leave me standing at the gate And let me serve a quiet time, morning birds and summer rain Im not a man who dropped the ball Im just a man who cant relate Still got loving friends to call I just dont have a lot to say From Hickory Glen to Hickory Lane Im waiting on the summer rain Shes traveling south for the sugar cane Im waiting on the summer rainLyrics:
Hard hearts soften under flame And its true you are my flame, true you are my flame Black nights colored under flame And its true you are my flame, true you are my flame I dont wanna dance alone, I dont wanna dance alone, Its true you are my flame, true you are my flame Words lose their will around the flame And its true you are my flame, true you are my flameLyrics:
Everythings fading but its all right Everythings fading before my eyes Im gonna hold on to nothing tonight Ive not lived one day in my life Ive not lived one day in my life Im gonna hold on to nothing tonight I used to dream, but now I dont Pulled on her hair, and she let go of the rope Im gonna hold on to nothing tonight Im gonne hold on to nothing tonight When I die, dont put a penny on my eye When I die, dont put a penny on my eye Im gonna hold on to nothing tonight Everythings a waste of my time Nothing matters in this heart of mind Im gonna hold on to nothing tonight Im gonne hold on to nothing tonightLyrics:
Slept through love again, not a memory to spend Slept through love again, yah its gone While I was sleeping, I couldnt see a thing Just the television, and a five carrot ring And I know you there, the ghost upstairs Floating through the hall, brushing your hair Whats a man to do when all that hes got is time? And everyone around him, is lost in right Slept through love again, all four seasons Slept through love again, yah its gone While I was sleeping, I couldnt hear a thing Just the television, and the screen door slam And I know you went out, but I dont know where I didnt think to ask, I didnt think to care Whats a man to do, when he cannot read the signs? And everyone around him, is closing up the blinds I slept through love again, beginning, the middle, the end Slept through love again, you know its gone And while I was sleeping, I didnt feel a thing No tossing no turning, no bad dreams And I know you there, sharing my bed Staring at the ceiling wishing me dead Whats a man to do when hes lost the will to try? And everyone around him, is turning out the lights Volcano erupted and Im on fireLyrics:
Can I call you home, Im a tired bird Ive tried everything, cant get through baby Man must heed the call, man must drag his cross Through the desert plain, nothing he can do about it No Im not okay, but Ill be all right, lay your body down with me And surrender tonight You should know the truth, I will always love you Twist around how you please, its your dream baby Theres another plan, lies beyond the stars Run across the morning dew, dont look back lady No its not ok, but it will be all right, lay your body down with me And surrender tonightLyrics:
Tied to you, tied to nothing Hear the last train coming? Was a woman in a tree Full detachment, how I loved her For who she was, who she wasnt, uh-huh Dont think too much about it You never had it Gravity sold, to the highest bidder Now Im soaring, out of the orbit, uh-huh When you see her body In the bright, bright sunlight Dont turn away, see her brave again A part of the tenLyrics:
The marsh is overflowing, full parade and no ones watching No colors on my body, you are a piece of nature Banging on a hollow drum Harsh winds are always blowing, full parade and no ones watching No colors on my body, capsized in the ocean Cuts down to the bone, you are a piece of nature Banging on a hollow drum, the marsh is overflowing Banging on a hollow drum, banging on a hollow drum
