One more day 03:29
Give me one more day to make it like before Sharing pears and apples in the sun down by the shore Later on we drive watch the towns at night pass us by He sat in the yard bare feet on a chair Running dirty fingers through his grayish tufts of hair And it felt alright to be there that night passing by, yea Midnight sharing drinks tea with herbs and mints I gave you my sweater and you’ve had it ever since Though I can’t control days they take their toll and Pass us by, yea

A thread through my every waking thought and an aim set true upon the heart of what is to come Be it soft or it small let me dream of it all The engine hums my back against the wall and the window's closed but I still watch the wind as it blows Be it soft or it small let me dream of it all A thief runs over the hill at dawn his hands full of bird's feathers and gold that he stole Be it soft or it small let me dream of it all

Mind like an ocean the waves keep rolling in thought I'd have picked up how to swim by 26 but hey, who's keeping track? When all this time I keep on looking back Falling in love like a child again with memories like these who could need friends? Yea it's naive but hey it's where I'm at just lying in my room and kicking back I bear my cross and I wear it on my sleeve I love other people more than me My friends, my family, the strangers that I meet just looking in their eyes I feel at peace I keep replaying this old memory in my head I was just a kid lying in my bed beside my brother looking out on snowy skies and in those moments I felt alive And in that moment I felt just right Lying in my winter bed that night Watching that snow fall by moonlight Knowing in the end I'd be alright

Settle down for me 'cause you were here last night in a dream and my honey tongue dripped gentle words you spoke just to me What if she could be ignored? her hands so quick to follow I wonder who was here before and if they felt this hollow And yea, I couldn't tell if the sun was coming up or going down and I recall your voice like a gentle rain on the sea Every now and then I wonder how this started how is it the same world that left me broken hearted?

Buffalo gals 04:42
Neither plum nor tangerine but orange in my memory was the sky from which it fell landed there in that motel Milky moon hung by a thread just say the word, I'll reel it in like George Bailey for his girl you and I against the world I was born just like a dove I only want to rise above I know I should change my strings amongst one hundred other things I don't care what shape I hold this world of pain is getting old so Now I go down to the park or cemetery after dark feel the weight of life again shave away ambivalence Once you've seen the darkest night and some cold wind snuffs out your light Though we burned up by the sun I couldn't help but find it fun Humming to myself again walking out at 6 am Into pink and fairer skies try and dry my crying eyes
