Deeper Blues 03:02
Which way to turn No way of knowing The bitter sea A wind a'blowing A deeper blue Blue is calling I see the saints Dutiful daughters I see their faces On the water A deeper blue Blue is calling Carry me down Follow me down A tired wing A broken arrow A tattooed tear A chute too narrow A deeper blue Blue is calling So carry me down Follow me down
2.
Hey I can’t tell Where all this trouble begins Maybe it’s just a change In the atmosphere And you’re close to love But you can’t turn on You can’t turn on And what to do With all this trouble and strife It’s like you’re living out your days On the edge of a knife And you’re close to love You can’t turn on You just can’t turn on What you’re yearning for Is not a dream An impossible dream Hey I can’t tell Where all this trouble begins Is it an imperceptible change In the atmosphere
3.
You don’t have to take the weight of the world You don’t have to take the weight of the world You don’t have to take the weight of the world The weight of the world The weight of the world’s alright Your heart jumps At the telephone ring The kids won’t listen To a word you sing And you’re tired of talking But you can’t drink it down So you fight off sleep Until the sun comes round There’s not an ink Of blue in the sky The politicians mumble All their terrible lies Now you used to think You where immune to the stuff But it slips up beside you And trips you up
4.
All the sky is a'cinder Goes from gold to rust There’s a vine by the window And it grows with us And a crack in everything Leonard sings To let the the light in then We’ll let the light in Things gone luminous now And I want it some more All the jaws are on hinges They’re sallow and sore You just smile at your feet Laugh and head for the door We let the light in then We let the light in
5.
Somehow before the sun Was a map of everyone A topography of everything you’d be Just a history of everyone before me Ancient light Marrow needs the spine Like the leaf on the vine A divinity of every vein and bone Sent to let you know you won’t die here alone
6.
Linger On 04:02
Shots right out High over the plain Cool moon rise Crying out your name Here for a short time Here for a day I want you to Linger on Steel trap eyes Busted blue in the rain Black sky wide Lonesome whistle train
7.
This paper boat I folded today I bent every crease And opened the sail I cupped it in my hands And on the water I placed This paper boat Now floating away Side by side Holding your hand Being the best of ourselves Night by night Holding you in Hoping that I’m going to stay Oh I want to stay I always turned green When out on the waves My stomach was weak My legs gave away But if I’m born a ghost I won’t founder or bend In this paper boat to see you again
8.
All for You 02:34
Here you go again my friend Acting like there’s no tomorrow But if you pin the sky the stars fall through All for you Shiny things can turn to rust And I’m sorry that I caused you sorrow But in the deepest dark a light anew All for you Little bird little bird won’t fly We’ll redraw its wings and wires Gentle day may come In some ways we’ve won Little bird little bird Arise Here you go again my friend Singing like no note will follow But if you forget the song the words are true All for you It’s all for you
9.
Once I followed the light Until the light Was hard to see Then the shadows did form Like a storm A mystery But oh Don’t fade your love Don’t fade your love Don’t fade your love Then the day turned to dusk And the rust Was plain to see In some ways we have won We have begun The will to be
