Oh you screamed Hallelujah darling, Startled all the sleeping Starlins on the wire. As we walked up the footpath through the fields, How the rain did reveal your heart. And the rope swing from the balance held the weight, Shadows fall and a cold wind

With brown eyes shining, shoreline on a way to go, And the sun tries you're feeling home, I guess you're broke And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold, Your eyes screamed it, Burgh Island, in sepia tones. And if I was ever to lea

All I am is the bones you made for me So garIshly clean White as the horses That carry me away And all my demons you said Come and go with the days A mind's will to play I grow old In my ways, just like you do There ain't no diamonds In the bottom Th

Come in from the darkness on the edge of this three tree town. Because it's thicker than the woods out there, Settles harder than the cold winter ground. Come in from the shadows of these boot black, marching clouds Because trouble falls like rain, A

All in my mind I walked down mayflower road again the wailing sound echoes from the park seems so absurd the bird stained towers I knew it would but i can't shake the sting can't spend my time on everybody else if buildings fell at least we'd be in m

Mama, cold hearted child, tell me how you feel Just a blade in the grass, spoke unto the wheel Mama, cold hearted child, tell me where it's all gone The luster of your bones, those arms that held you strong I been worryin' that my time is a little un

How would you know? When everything around you's changing like the weather, A big black storm. And who would you turn to? Or hide a ghost, a shadow at the most, would you let me know? Cause I don't want to, To trouble your mind with the childish desi

Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags, I've come to know that memories Were the best things you ever had The summer shone beat down on bony backs So far from home where the ocean stood Down dust and pine cone tracks We slept like dogs down by

Oh hey I wasn't listening I was watching serial blinded by the sunshine strip You, you were in the kitchen Oh your mind was marked and wounded with the wounder's whip And that's how summer passed Oh your great divide and range of green green grass Oh

Climb out Out to where you see the curl of the world, We're alone just like you said cold cold world, life lasts only one thing left to roll last year to learn, you were the boat that bridged in the tale of Conrad we will never be the change to the w

And the birds still sing outside These windows where we sat together Like nothing ever happened here The white house on the hill, black clouds of weather And the church spire over the river She still sits there warm in the evening glow But you don't

Oh Blinding, now I see I could not hold you My orange tree lived in the darkened room From three words to share Maybe you were free before My blackened wing covered you I took the sing from your song I made a bed where you don't belong Call me she fe

Seen fortune in my lifetime Gave it all to the man instead Still tomorrow comes I'm still standing on my own two feet Got a woman at home She treats me well Anger I've seen it rise From a careless word that I said Well guilt is wasteful Pride is chil

Oh my ghost came by Said who do you love the most Who you wanna call before you die Oh my ghost came by here Said who do you love the most Who you gonna sing to 'fore you're gone Oh hey heaven is the place we know Heaven is the arms that hold us Long

Darling you're with me, always around me. Only love,only love. Darling I feel you, under my body. Only love,only love. Give me shelter, or show me heart Come on love, come on love. Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart. And I'll be yours to keep.
