you, my dazzling darling
you failed the cost
when your day's runnin past you
fine fate to bear
live in colors till you tire of a song that's growin old.

Heavy Boots
03:28
|
|||
|
masked by the dark of the dawn
you've lost your strength to carry on
the raven awaits at the height
for all will to break -- for forfeit of fight
lost in the blue
the threads all come loose
you've traveled too long
in heavy boots
lost in the gray
no more left to say
you've traveled too far
to give all away

Highway Hymn
03:12
|
|||
|
seamless sky, open road
headlights float past, you let the night take control
signs pass by overhead
and lift the weight of all words left unsaid
and oh how the miles, they unfold
this highway is more of a home
you move with the moon 'til the dawn
and even then, and even then
you travel on
leave the land from whence you came
for the horizon, she calls out your name
cast your worries away
you were made to wander, not to stay
and oh how the miles, they unfold
this highway is more of a home
you move with the moon 'til the dawn
and even then, and even then
you travel on

From Flight

when I talk a long while
you will spend the night
and then desert me
when you curse at the weather
waltzing through the rain
losing your feeling
all this pride bends you back inside
all the shadows on your door
wake you when you're dead
but I am not your old mother
who loves you just the same
so undeserving
all this pride bends you back inside
all the shadows on your door
wake you when you're dead

Knots
03:59
|
|||
|
your weighted words slipped off tongue,
spiraled, splashed along the sidewalk,
fell with early autumn
rain through morning gray,
stretched and sliced through the air
just like a high wire
spoken as smooth as silk and
spun out like silver
eased through your teeth and
echoed in eager ears
danced with unsteady footsteps
crawled down our throats to
tie knots in our stomachs
high in the sky lies the belt of orion
but the stars watch us tonight
as we get older
these seasons grow colder
but here in your bed we're
warm, at least for now
love, come lay your head down

I don't wanna go in there
feeling like a child would maybe understand
I don't wanna show up now
swollen of their faces in their sleight of hand
o mama, treat me like a child
o mama, I'm faced down the hill
o mama, don't you wake the child
o mama, straight down the hill
show me not to follow
and how to have my own real hell of a time
not for your freedom and never for the dime
o mama, treat me like a child
o mama, straight down the hill
through once or twice
staggering back out
through bits of dust
I'll find my way about
mother, she'll find my way about.

Shallow Graves
04:34
|

|
i hear your telltale heart
still trapped under floorboard of a house torn apart
your body here with me
the rest locked behind doors to which the past holds the key
i watched you fade away
even at home you are astray
one month to the day, here we dig our own shallow graves
the push
to the pull
to the push once again
fucked up tug-of-war
inevitable end
they'll come from far and wide
dressed in all black, not a single eye dry
they'll talk of potential
how hard that we tried --
tired kids, fallen victim to time
the push
to the pull
to the push once again
fucked up tug-of-war
inevitable end

Fallen Into Wine
03:13
|
|||
|
little tracks of april
have fallen into the wine
you left me here to wander
in your sweet old time
you took the worst of me
stored it all
stored it all
stored it all away
spoken wishful lover
stuffed with your good lies
I'm never here to offer
but can I take the wine?
tell me when you'll cry
oh it's so divine

All For Now
03:03
|

|
if I don't share
I'll give you my blessing
as long as I'm there
but how you fool your heart over and over
if you're so right
and that's all you've been doin
I'd give up my fight
but all for now, I sigh over and over
afraid of the day you lie down

The Choice
05:08
|
|||
|
chasing shadows,
hunting hollow
the road ahead, it winds, it forks
will you turn back or make your choice
but is it wise
to look past the omens seen with open eyes?
the pendulum swings
as indecision waits and whispers from the wings
feet move steady
but heart is heavy
there is a battle still left to be won
and time she waits for not a one
but is it wise
to follow all you once had left behind?
the pendulum swings,
indecision, coming closer, sweetly sings
(ooooooh)
you're out of time
you must make your choice

Philomena
05:05
|
|||
|
greater things have chased us all away
we never found a reason to remain
bitter ends erase the old refrain
the softer cheek will feed the weaker flame
on the fall, we've come to feel ashamed
for what we will never find again
"take it all," the tears were fallin down,
"she can't erase what's taken from the ground."
look down under while you can, fate will wait for the upperhand
stand before I, fine feather
philomena, hold anchors around me. around you.
I am alone
I never share
dreams cracked upon
melt to thin air
