By the Beams
03:10
|
|||
by the beams of the sun
don't waste it on just anyone
giving you the same old answers
that never were worth a damn
where my heart goes
there my hand follows
and under every sky
i see you & i
you see yourself
in scraps & odds & ends
and i can't even begin
to tell you how i see you
by the beams of the sun
and this long & steady road
do you ever wonder?
if you're not already whole?
however foolish we may be
we stand to make amends
and carry these embers
to a new place again

Loud & Clear
03:37
|
|||
it was never for lack of want
it was never for lack of anything
it just never registered
no matter the words we all would sing
foreign shores alight with wonder
distant lands & distant tongues
i finally read you loud & clear
after all this time we're here
underneath this glorious sun
light a candle & say your piece
never again speak of these things
living this old reckless way
holding out for some far-off day
i said i'd meet you wherever you are
however fixed your mind & heart may be
i finally read you loud & clear
after all this time we're here
you waited patiently

Real Love Song
03:03
|
|||
let's write a real love song
that leaves imagination in the dust
a real love song
to shine up all this rust
let's write a real love song
i'll be the one & you'll be the one
a real love song
in the full light of the sun
it won't be pitch-perfect
but we won't worry
it'll be as good as we know

Drift of Autumn
03:26
|
|||
the drift of autumn's golden train
yet i remain
sometimes it can feel the same
in this place that never knew our names
all my natural life
i've been surprised each and every time
grapple and tangle in the wake
it's never the right time to say

Lay A Wreath
02:25
|
|||
we come to lay a wreath
and recall the difficult years
a hush over us as we speak
and as we sail the changeful sea
tell of the world as it is
tell of this world as it would be
carry the day for you
and just this once, carry the day for me
as we sail the changeful sea
we sail o'er the ever changeful sea

Never Look Away
03:29
|
|||
it need not go forever
it can rest upon the earth
we can settle down & feel it
and we wouldn't be the first
over air & wire
calling us by name
knowing nothing of our nature
caring nothing for this place
but over hill & valley
moves a cooling wind
sets the canopy swaying
and sets us on the mend
look out, look after, look on
but never look away...
no we need not go forever
we can rest upon the earth
we can settle right down & feel it
and we wouldn't be the first
look out, look after, look on
but never look away...

Weathervane
02:43
|
|||
a compass a weathervane
what points you down the road you take
so much light or so much pain
what shapes you to be this way
staring into the sun to see
staring into these endless screens
reams of paper, pools of ink
inundated no space to think
farewell to every kind of claim
real, imagined, it's all the same
if it's only for image sake
if it's only a weathervane

Feels the Same
03:01
|
|||
this place feels the same
even though you're gone
sometimes it's all the same
even though you're gone
the yellow drift of leaves
goes winding on
don't worry
i feel no rush
we were never in a hurry
it hasn't changed all that much
how can i remain
knowing what i know
how i can i sustain
knowing what i know

Unexpectedly
02:46
|
|||
unexpectedly
your voice
came to me
so casually
as if it would go
on & on

We Will Know
03:06
|
|||
wise in the way
you hold the daylight hours
as your own
as every one your own
the tears in your eyes
not unlike mine
rom where they come
and to where they go
we rarely say
everything we know
we dare go just so far
and not one step more
but the notion will riss
and i'll see it in your eyes
and we'll know
we will know
we will know
