Dream of You

Have you been to the end of the mountains,
Where the light falls down to the sea?
Where I held my first lover,
And she held me.
Have you been to the end of the mountains,
Where the skies are black with night?
Where I felt my love burn deeply,
And her heart was bound to mine.
I dream, I do
And I dream of you
Have you swam to the end of the ocean,
Where the waves reach up to the moon?
Where I held my lover to me,
As I'm holding you.
Have you flown as high as the stars,
Looking down on us below?
Oh these clouds will take you gently
To the morning's throw.
I dream, I do
And I dream of you
I dream, I do
And I dream of you

Shoes

Driving down at 82, skipped past my 9 to 5.
Didn't feel like working til the end of my life.
Haven't found a shoe that fits into my sorry step.
Nothing keeps me going that I won't live to regret.
Burning through my vices, hooked on drink and sorry thoughts.
Sinking any bottle cos the quiet has me bored.
Oh but things ain't quite so easy when I'm sober with myself.
I miss the fuzzy haze takes away my cries for help.
What about you?
Do you feel it too?
In the in-between.
It's killing me.
What about you?
Are you scared to listen too?
In the in-between.
It listens to me.
Driving down at 92, never stopped for gas.
Didn't feel like drowning in an endless war for cash.
Haven't stopped to love or lose, I don't need time to think.
So I just keep on moving, hope I lose it in my drink.
Tank's running on empties, I'm not far enough away.
All I do is wander, please don't give me room to stay.
You ask me where I'm heading, oh I just say out of town.
You tell me it's good to get your feet back on the ground.
What about you?
Do you feel it too?
In the in-between.
It's killing me.
What about you?
Are you scared to listen too?
In the in-between.
It listens to me.
Walking back at the break of dawn, I'm out of alibis.
Tired of running from the wind, I'm lost in all my lies.
Still haven't found a shoe that fits my worrisome old step.
But maybe if I leave no prints, I too will soon forget.

Oh Sweet Decay
04:02
|
|||
|
I lost my mind as a boy, I hardly know.
Time is a tool I abused so I could show
Myself I was ready to walk into the world.
Lies on the wind, they are always carried home.
Foolish was I to believe I could outrun,
All of my worries faster than a gun.
Now as they tangle my feet to the ground,
Pulling me back, oh my mind I have found.
Maybe it's okay,
Maybe it's fair.
The roots that bind me are
Everywhere.
Tying me down to
These fields of gold.
Oh sweet decay,
You just do as you're told.
Skin turning green, I am hidden in the trees.
Leaves through my hair, I have never been seen.
Eyes lose their glimmer, alive I am not,
Just matter and movement, a fool once forgot.
But here comes a girl, oh her stare's like a fire.
It tears through my brambles, I burn on the pyre.
She offers escape from these burdens I made.
And I'm born again, as a friend she did save.
Oooh
Oooh
Maybe it's okay,
Maybe it's fair.
The roots that bound me,
Burn in the air.
You're carrying over,
My fields of woes.
A kingdom of worry,
Black not gold.
Maybe it's okay,
Maybe it's fair.
My heart's exploding,
I fly without care.
Free all reason,
Free of my fears.
I soar through the smoke clouds,
I see it all clear.
I lost my mind as a boy I knew well.
Trembling with worries, a story to tell.
Now on the breeze, all my ease cools my mind.
Your words lay me down, oh my sweet lullaby

Moving With Time
04:06
|
|||
|
Time is lost on me.
Spend forever, do whatever, never free.
So I've tied my days onto a leash,
Keep em with me, living easy, as I please.
Can't keep still, never will, darling.
Find my thrills beyond the hills I haven't climbed.
Burn my clothes, no one knows where I'm going.
That's alright, I'm not someone to find.
My company is all I see.
Tall, broken trees and starry skies.
The whistling winds tell me I'm lonely.
But I'm fine, I'm just moving with time.
Worn out shoes holes in my jeans.
Sweat and smoke fills my nose, like a bleed.
But I'm not stopping any time soon, baby.
Running freely, living easy, as I need.
Can't stay put, never could, darling.
Find my peace, in the peaks I haven't climbed.
Burn my things, so no one sings of my name.
That's just fine, lose me in your time.
My company is all I see.
Tall, broken trees and starry skies.
The whistling winds tell me I'm lonely.
But I'm fine, I'm just moving with time.
My company is all I see.
Tall, broken trees and starry skies.
The howling winds tell me I'm lonely.
But I'm fine, I'm just losing time.

Leaves

Out here in the trees
I found you.
And you found me.
Hearts swaying in the breeze,
Back and to.
We shed our leaves.
Our whispers on the wind.
My lullaby,
This peace of mind.
I'll stand here in these woods,
Steady by you.
If you want me to.
I want to.
And I know that you're listening to me now.
As my branches creak in my wake.
And I hope that these whispers drift to you,
And you hear them, and it's okay.
Never thought I'd ever feel this way.
Out here in these trees,
I lose my way,
And you steady me.
Hearts swaying in the breeze,
I love today,
I love this need.
Our whispers, they are the wind,
A call to arms,
To feel this greed.
I'll stand here in these woods,
Ready to bleed.
If you ask of me,
I want to.
And I know that you're listening to me now.
As my branches creak in my wake.
And I hope that these whispers drift to you,
And you hear them, and it's okay.
Never thought I'd ever feel this way.
Oooh,
Never thought I'd need this way.
Out here in the trees
I found you.
And you found me.
Hearts swaying in the breeze,
Back and to.
We shed our leaves.

Penny
02:13
|

|
Would you take a penny for your thoughts?
Cos I've been pacing back and forth.
Nothing feels quite as clear.
Since I found you, I found fear.
I don't think I truly understood
What momma said when I was just a child.
That she wouldn't change a thing if she could.
I would change it all just to make you mine.
I've got a pocket full of pennies for your thoughts.
I just wanna know if you'd spend one on me.
Something's got me racing like never before.
Now I know you, I now know greed.
I don't think I truly understood
What momma said when I was just a child.
That she wouldn't change a thing if she could.
I would change it all just to make you mine.
I don't think I ever wanna understand
Making peace with how things are.
Anything to know the palm of your hand.
Everything I'd do just hear your heart.
I'll spend every penny on your thoughts.
Let me listen like a passing storm.
Til every cloud has drifted and the skies are clear.
Til I held you, I held fear.
