I can change
07:00
|
|||
|
I watch your fingers
around the glass
condensation dripping
a ring down on your dress
Might make plans this evening
might hang around instead
Down by the water
you take my hand
don’t want this feeling
to ever end
now the lifeguard’s calling
storm is coming in
We split a cold drink
this might sound strange
but when I’m with you
I feel like I can change

Don't my birdy sing
04:53
|

|
Don’t my birdy sing
with its bruised and broken wings
in a cage of sky
where it stays and cannot fly
and what part of me
can I send to you
out across the ocean between us
wild and blue
Walked you home through town
and the snow kept coming down
whitened roads and yards
pillowed blankets on the cars
And what amber holds the memory,
gold inside
where the story meets the pigment
and comes alive
And how did flowers grow
in the desert of our love
27 years
still a stranger in the mirror
Because in my dreams my heart, it wanders
to your tree
and in my cage I’ll sing forever
til I’m free

I was never here
02:44
|
|||
|
To be your brightest precious one
is all I could have hoped to have done
I catch the morning, catch the mist
What have I lost? What did I miss?
Still you stay in the deepest part
know I’m close but I feel so far
And he came across the waves at night
his clothes they shone I hid my eyes
He gave his hand but damn my pride
I sank instead my selfish tide
Now I see through the thin veneer
only you I was never here

Shine down
02:51
|
|||
|
Let them all believe you
when you ask them
to go
when you’ve lost control
Surely there’s a reason
see the bird of the air
see the sun
shine down on everyone
Still you hold the ransom
in the black of the night
driving home
we have miles to go

Trains go by
03:23
|
|||
|
Before he knew it she was gone
just cut and run
she left her clothes and everything
the chores undone
“How bout our baby, he’s just 3?
It’s only him, the dogs and me
the kitchen table set for 2
where the hell are you?”
I caught the first train headed west
and changed my name
I thought I’d find some rest, good God
I’m still the same
And now our baby’s turning 9
he likes to watch the trains go by
but when his daddy sees he says
come back inside
|

You are my sunshine
02:57
|
|||
|
You’re my sunshine
Let you go because I
hoped that you’d find
your way back home
through the shadows to
place your hand in mine
Always been slow
bet you didn’t think I
had it in me now
but when you looked my way
something changed, I couldn’t stop if I knew how
And it’s a shame to take the fall
when I ain’t done nothing at all
That ain’t me babe
Never been the type to
wear it on my sleeve
but I promise one thing
stand beside me and I’ll show you what I mean
Let me remain
seems that everything I do
longs to survive
will I write my name down
in the sand
just to wash out with the tide?
so what’s a name? make it small
and I won’t be no one at all
|

After all
03:25
|
|||
|
Looking down on the listlessness I found
did you find me instead?
up at dawn, pacing circles on my lawn
will this last another year?
In due time, going back out on that line
but feeling mostly the same
After all
you didn’t have to make that call
and after all
you didn’t have to take the fall for me
(that's right)
Well what if there's another night
even if it’s just one time
tomorrow always brings you
something
Through my door, I don’t want this hate no more
world I see just brings me down
so call my name, turn me on for someone’s game
rise and fall just gets so old
After all
you didn’t have to make that call
and after all
you didn’t have to take the fall for me
(that's right)
Well baby give it one more try
even if it lasts all night
tomorrow always brings you
something

In all I do
03:18
|
|||
|
It’s all a dream
never what it seems
except for me
somewhere in between
dusk and dawn
and now the light has gone
hours turn to days
and how they drift away
In all I do
let it be for you
in my heart
sacred hidden spark
slow to burn
but bound to get my turn
or so it seems
for now it’s just a dream

Standard copy

Taught me how the light got in
but then I closed my eyes
with all due respect I think I’ll only waste your time
when it’s over will the pain be justified
when it’s over did I stand upon St. Elmo’s fire
Try to speak you back to me
but I can’t say the words
to write you into every song
but I can’t play the chords
In the morning there’s a hunger still inside
when it’s over will i finally be satisfied

Running back
01:39

Can you see
when you close your eyes
I am always there
running back

You are my sunshine

That ain’t me babe
Never been the type to
wear it on my sleeve
but I promise one thing
stand beside me and I’ll show you what I mean
so who’s to blame? I’ll take it all
cause i don’t care, no not at all
Let me remain
seems that everything I do
longs to survive
will I write my name down
in the sand
just to wash out with the tide?
so what’s a name? make it small
and I won’t be no one at all
