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

Close to Love
03:49
|
|

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

Weight of the World
03:13
|
|

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

Let the Light In
05:53
|
|
||
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

Ancient Light
02:54
|
|
||
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

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

This Paper Boat
04:17
|
|

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

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

Fade Your Love
04:06
|
|
||
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
