Sister
03:55
|
|||
Sister sings a song
Sparrows sing along
Soon they will be gone, sister
Soon they will be gone
We’ll find them underground
Buried ‘neath the town
I can’t make a sound, sister
I can’t make a sound
Grab the gasoline
Spread it through the streets
Soon the air will sink, sister
Soon the air will sink
We’ll watch the buildings burn
As the morning turns
I can’t speak a word, sister
I can’t speak a word

Slowest Routine
03:01
|
|||
White black sky
Images die
On a widescreen
Where blackbirds fly
Cracked tooth smile
1909
Red of the sun
On a rust belt ride
Count yourself to sleep
The slowest routine
Time’s caught in the breeze
The slowest routine
Across wide plains
Split screen frame
In a black dream
A soft refrain
Bury my name
Bury my name
All you can say is bury my name

Unwelcome Guest
03:23
|
|||
The unwelcome guest came in the night
Never took off his coat
Put a record on slow
Said, “I shall reveal the debt you have made
From which you’ve been kept
But will not be saved.”
A ghost from the west
He waited til dawn
Stole from me light
And then he was gone
There was a fire carried by blame
Now I could retire
Or beg off in shame
But I will not beg, no, I will not crave
I’ll lose all desire
Let it pass away
Until I’m just bones
A skeleton drawn
On a black stone
To be left alone

Clouds Never Break
03:00
|
|||
I was wrong you were wide awake
Where clouds never break and memories postpone
Overtones for heaven’s sake
Pick up the phone
And you’ll hear a high pitched drone
Steady and strong message unclear
Oh my dear, it’s been so long
Since we’ve been near
So I roam and find the mistakes
A riddle that makes you feel unknown
Where the gloam won’t overtake
The love we have known

Golden Days
03:02
|
|||
Where have the golden days all gone?
When I step outside, my mind barely registers at all
Can’t recall the smallest light
Six white horses on a plain not a one of them I ride
Oh no, is it normal to be free?
Oh no, it’s a lock without a key
Oh no, in the last place that you leave
Giving up’s so easy when you don’t believe
Where have the golden days all gone?
A crystal ball I see your face, monastery’s broken glass
Leaving everything to chance
No more strategies or plans
Idle hands the past is passed

Easy Way Out
04:25
|
|||
Take time to count all the reasons you let me in
Rewind back to the season our love began
And when you’re out on the beach and I’m far out of reach
Will you think of me anyhow?
I’m all alone right here waiting for you to come out
Two wheels the highway is longing for overdrive
Cold steel in my hands makes me feel alive
And if I make all our plans, will you meet all my demands?
Will you hold me before we begin?
I’ve got a big idea to blow this whole world to an end
Everybody knows it’s been hard, love
It just takes two pulls to turn it all around
Everybody knows we’ve had hard luck
Let’s go and try to take the easy way out
Lord, you know we’re taking the easy way out
We might find ourselves back in paradise
We might lose ourselves in the dead of night
But if we wake up to find, that we never really die
That the dream was all dream all the time
I’ll hold you in my arms and wait for the morning to rise

Losing My Train
03:51
|
|||
I’m wandering around the avenue’s tight
In a brand new town on a Saturday night
And you know the truth, the truth is my train
Oh, my train of thought lost it out in the rain
Now I’m rolling down the line trying to find
Anything to ease my mind
The lines all run clean and send me back through
The days in between the brave and the blue
I’m taking my fear and packing it up
I’m shipping it off to the end of the world
Now I’m rolling down the line trying to find
Anything to ease my mind
But the signs all reappear, which way should I steer?
Won’t you come tell me you’re near

Comes A Time
04:47
|
|||
Comes a time when every man must choose
To open up his heart even though he might lose
And is this happiness knocking on my door?
Should I let it in, or should I let it go?
After last time, swore I’d never take change
But you fell in just right never took a second glance
And is this happiness knocking on my door?
Should I let it in, or should I let it go?
Where did we find something so true, something so kind?
How do we keep on keeping our love so strong?

The Search
02:50
|
|||
Shot through the middle of your mind
Like a rook flying wild in the springtime
You want answers well you can’t afford them
You want clues all you do is distort them
You whisper that your life’s the chorus
To a tune that’s become so obvious
And your gospel has gone without warning
While your song it plays on in the morning
As still as the wind on a Sunday
On a hill where you’re plotting your escape
You tie up your loose ends with wire
Hold fear in your hand like it’s fire
And the voices of stones cannot sway you
The reasons of men will betray you
Still you look to the North Star for guidance
As the search it’s begun here in earnest
And I will not find you in burning fields of September
And I will not remind you of the promises you don’t remember
All that we seek is what we are given
