Lonely

LONELY
Can you feel it in the ground
Like a far away train?
My voice, my heart, my lungs
Making their way
Looking for love
And a place that is safe
A cool kitchen floor
A walk without worry
(Way up from the bottom reaching)
It’s been lonely
I’m not going to lie
It’s been lonely
But I’m still going to try
Its been lonely
Do you know what I mean?
Have you been lonely?
Would you like to walk with me?
Can you hear it in the sound
Of a far away wing?
The day, the dark, the dawn
Dying to meet
(Chorus)
Way up from the bottom
Reaching, waving hello
Way up from the bottom
Reaching, please don't let go
Way up from the bottom
Reaching, waving hello
(Way up from the bottom reaching)
(Chorus)
Way up from the bottom
Reaching, waving hello
Way up from the bottom
Reaching, please don’t let go
Way up from the bottom
Reaching, waving hello
Way up from the bottom
Reaching, please don’t let go

Lay Down

LAY DOWN
Lay down
It’s time to get some rest
I’ve got a good bed
Lay down
Your weary head
I’ll get you water
I’ll get you bread
Lay down
Oh, and let me sing
I’ve got just the thing
Lay down
Your eyes are red
Your ears ring
I’ve got cool hands
To bring down the heat
Lay down
And let yourself fall asleep
I’ll stay while you dream
I scatter stars around you
To make you feel at home
When all you need is space
And all I have is hope

Look
04:51
|

LOOK
Way up the mountain I sway
Way up the mountain I sway
Could be the concrete
Could be the lake
Way up the mountain I sway
It calls me up to the sun
It draws down till I’ve run…
And I have come to grips with all the clouds
Will I look when they’ve settled on the ground?
And I’m steady now but when comes all the rain
Will I look into the eye of pain?
Way down the river I float
Way down the river I float
Could be the people
Could be the boat
Way down the river I float
It calls me up to the sun
It draws down till I’ve run out
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Will I look…

Where You Are
04:29
|

WHERE YOU ARE
Time rages on
Kindness rages on
Why do you see me so low?
Do you see me at all?
Oh you’ve gone
I don’t know where
Do you go in the dark?
Is there light where you are?
Truth rages on
Kindess rages on
Why do you see me so low?
Do you see me at all?
(Chorus)

Ode to Sleep
04:30
|

ODE TO SLEEP
I look for you every night
For you to hold my hand
But you don’t even speak
Until I’m making plans
I’m lying on the floor
Hoping you will meet me
I wait for you to whisper
Lead me to you dreams
Will you come in like a breeze?
Will you come in like a wave
Crashing all over me?
They say we should be friends
That I just don’t know you
I think it’s safe to say
Don’t know what else I can do
I know that I’m afraid of you
Making me mundane
Afraid that I won’t love you
Even if you stay
(Chorus)
Could we be in love?
Could we be in love?
Could we be in love?
Maybe all that’s left
Is swallowing the pill
You knock me out at noon
And bend me to your will
(Chorus)
I’d like you stay
I’d like you stay
I’d like you stay

It's Just a Light
03:54
|
|||
IT’S JUST A LIGHT
It’s coming up in the distance
Still so alive insistent
I wanna reach and touch it
Is it worth the gift...the risk?
Steady, steady
Don’t be afraid It’s just a light
Don’t be afraid It’s just a light
When will this fog be lifted?
I’m too blind to see at night
I want to reach out and cut it
But I don’t have a knife
I’m just a fist
Steady, steady
(Chorus)
Steady
Don’t be afraid It’s just a light
Don’t be afraid It’s just a light

Dust

DUST
Feel
How you want to feel
Say
What you want to
I don't mind
You being who you want to be
Just as long as
You don't mind
Seeing all of me
Everything
Move
How you want to move
Be still
If you want to
(Chorus)
(Let me gather)
Give me dust
(We'll make something)
Out of us
(Let me gather)
Give me dust
(Chorus)
Give me dust

Long Live the Lady

LONG LIVE THE LADY
I’ve got three wishes
One is to know you
Two is to love you
Three is you love me too
I’ve got three wishes
One is to know you
Two is to love you
Three is you love me too
Long live the lady
Long live the tree
Long live the lady
Long live the tree
I’ve got three wishes
One is to know you
Two is to love you
Three is you love me too
(Chorus)
Here is the apple
Here is the seed
Long live the lady
Long live the tree
Magic happens
Up there am I right
Magic happens
Even happens at night
As we wander
And I'm wondering how
I can show you I love you
When it all comes down
(Chorus)
Here is the apple
Here is the seed
Long live the lady
Long live the tree

A Crown in my Hand
03:29

A CROWN IN MY HAND
Oh I
I’ve been slipping on the edge
I’ve been slipping on the edge
It’s a long way down
These vines
They’ve been wrapping round my head
They’ve been wrapping round my head
Tight and bound
And I cry, and I cry, and I cry, and I cry
And I cry
Hoping the water will rise
And spit me out on the ground
Oh I
I’ve got such a busy brain
I’ve got such a busy brain
Trying to wear me out
These lies
Trying to throw me off the train
Trying to throw me off the train
And wear the crown
(Chorus)
And I cry, and I cry, and I cry, and I cry
And I cry
Hoping the water will rise
And spit me out on the ground
Signs
They all scream in black and white
They all scream in black and white
But I know better now
(Chorus)
And I cry, and I cry, and I cry, and I cry
And I cry
Hoping the water will rise
And spit me out on the ground
And I cry, and I cry, and I cry, and I cry
And I cry
Hoping the water will rise
And I’ll be found with a crown in my hand

WHETHER OR NOT
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me across the sea
The sea
The sea
Walk with me
Walk with me
Walk with me
Walk with me across the sea
The sea
The sea
Change along
Change along
Change along
Along the lines of this
This whole amazing mess we're in
Walk with me
Walk with me
Walk with me across the sand
The sand
The sand
Hold your hand
Hold your hand
Hold your hand
Whether or not I think I can
And I can hear you
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing!
Every time you
Speak, speak, speak, speak, speak!
I can hear you
Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe!
When you're next to me
When you're far away
You're just like a picture
And I need to remember
The days we walked together
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me across the sea
The sea
The sea
Walk with me
Walk with me
Walk with me
Walk with me across the sea
The sea
The sea
I'll carry you
Carry you
Carry you
On my back if you need me to
I'll carry you
Carry you
Carry you
Whether or not I think I can
I can hear you
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing!
Every time you
Speak, speak, speak, speak, speak!
I can hear you
Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe!
When you're next to me
I will hold your hand
Hold your hand
Hold your hand
Whether or not I think I can
Whether or not I'm near you
Can hear you breathing
Whether or not
I'll be listening

These Trees

THESE TREES
Forever gone
Is what I thought
And then you’re here
And then you’re not
All alone without my voice Without a guide
In the woods
No sound or sight
Without a word Without a light
There I stood Wondering why
And then...
These trees started speaking
These leaves started swirling
And I swear
The sky came down
Wrapped me up
And turned me around
So many years
Lived underground
Even the sun became too loud
I wished away the need I had
The need to sing
Who’s eyes are these
Who is this face
Forgot the world
Forgot my place
And there I lay
No time or space
And then...
(Chorus)
