Without Devotion
02:16
|
|||
|
Let me feel it, without devotion
All alone, focusing on the ocean
Something good will happen today
I'm on my knees and my forehead is pressed up
Against some decive I feel like a forcept
And I'll believe without having seen, it's the same
Pressure under, wind above us
Currents below us, wind above us

Widower
05:23
|

Today I am lost
Wondering what went wrong
Today I am wandering through the trees
Like the wind
So far gone and forgotten (Who is the Widower?)
I've forgotten the good old days (Who is the Widower?)
And where is the window (Who is the Widower?)
I can crawl through (Who is the Widower?)
You became an old friend
Of used-to-be's, and way-back-whens
And now today I am wandering
Over houses to another shore
So far gone and forgotten (Who is the Widower?)
I've forgotten the good old days (Who is the Widower?)
And where is the moon bow (Who is the Widower?)
Where I can find you, waiting there for me? (Who is the Widower?)

Behave
02:39
|
|||
|
I feel OK on a windy day
It's in the wind that I feel this way
From where you hang lower yourself down
Fear and flight won't turn your life around
And you don't have to do it that way
It's up to you have you behave
And you don't have to see it that way
Ask who you love how to behave

Helicopter
04:37
|
|||
|
He's afraid of his markings
He don't want no possessions
But the ghost still tries to keep his spirit alive
In a chest that stores a heart you'll see
There's no room for bad memory
And so I ask you, is it a shame
Not to know right from wrong?
Jump like a helicopter and look for the children
In the water all those bubbles rising from your nose
Help them stop them no one'll know
This bathing suit's for you my dear
Are you happy that we're finally here?
An early morning at a late funeral
It's an early morning at a late funeral
The children are holding up your arms
To stay afloat in the shallow waters
I'm holding back from helping you
To save myself from the community
Close your eyes and I'll be with you
When you open them again on top of the
Tallest hill in the world
Just upon the outskirts of the town
Together as one we love you
Together as one, little alarm clock!
Early morning at a late funeral
Left all pictures that I took of you
When you weren't watching
Backwards for a moment I thought you left too
Make sure that you're ready for the morning after we are through
I'm sincerely happy for you
On this early morning at a late funeral

Mountain
02:50
|
|||
|
The mountain was on fire
The mountain was on fire
And I came outside to see
And I came outside to see
The fog hung above the sound
The fog hung above the sound
And it took my breath a while
It took my breath a while
The sky was made of gold
The sky was made of gold
And I took the long way home
I took the long way home

I Look Up to You
03:03
|
|||
|
With a sorrow in our hearts we can play
And I look up to you
When we hear different sounds that the heartless do
Wakeful at night looking everywhere for You
Why do I look up to you?
And we hear different sounds than the heartless do
Wakeful at night looking everywhere for You
Why do I look up to you?

Ice Cream
05:19
|
|||
|
When I was four I ran through the door
To get to the ice cream first
But sometimes we stumble in front of everyone
When I was three I thought it was neat
To pick cotton from all the toys
But sometimes we get caught up in thought
I am the child
Fell in the wall
Shorter than the curtains fall
But see I'm standing tall

LMJ
03:49

The memory of her riding the black horse
Under the pale moon on a black night
During the fight that soon would take her life
And leave me in this empty hall
Where I'm sweeping up the memories that I had of her
She hurt me so much in life I felt used and I suffered in disguise
When the truth came suddenly from my father
The pain to turned to guilt and I wept and wept
Until I felt the memory of her.........

Happy Man
04:00
|
|||
|
It's so hard to live so far
Go home for 2 weeks
And then have to leave
Oh, am I killing them?
Do they resent me?
For being so free
And choosing to leave
Your happy man in a golden mean isn't smiling all the time
I used to drive to stay alive
Until this one day, I saw a trailer
The horses all fell out, all over the freeway
The ground steaming with blood
It was raining and muddy
Your happy man in a golden mean isn't smiling all the time

Moving Roads
02:32
|
|||
|
I felt a pull from inside me, from below
A storm overhead, and it's looming and dead
Follow your heart like a road
Whether it moves too fast or too slow
You can see it's not what you're for
You are after what is before

Alibit
02:28
|
|||
|
All I ever tried to do was fall in love with you
Could you love me too?
I'm not dying
I made up the alibi and gave you things to do
Although things fell through
I'm still trying
Trying to make the mornings full of night
And all the evenings full of light
With all the orbits that just might
Be following you
Everyone sees when I turn to look away
But I don't see any other way
These days I have nothing,
I have nothing left to say

Wedding Days
07:14
|
|||
|
Get away from the water's edge
You're all alone, it's time to pledge your love
So go home where you are from
These are wedding days it's time to renew those vows
Pressure under, wind above us
Currents below us, wind above us
