Everything
04:27
|
|||
In a village south of the last lonely Texas town,
Landowners lay by a pool where you hope'd they drown.
Widowers upstairs prayed down the hall,
For the only one they know who heeds their call.
The square is decked with bunting for a band,
As the padre stands in silence with a plan.
Once the sound of marching 'cross the land,
And the dreams of freedom fell to earth like sand.
The day that I give up my dream,
Is the day that I lose everything.
Everything.
For the young at heart this dance means more than this.
A time for moonlight, laughter and a kiss.
But this year hearts aren't stirred by romance.
For the love of something lost they'll take a chance.
On a signal fom the hills they raise their guns,
And a rapier from the last war that they'd won.
The wealthy pack their bags and start to run,
As the populace toast freedom they've just won.
The day that I give up my dream,
Is the day that I lose everything.
The day that I give up my dream,
Is the day that I lose everything.
Everything, everything, everything, everything.
The day that I give up my dream,
The day that I give up my dream.

Emily In Ginger
07:48
|

Like the silence in the face The Scream
Like a broken mirror and all it means
A lover so at peace with me
Like Emily
Like the ending of a one act play
Like the sound of sighs on rainy days
Apil as it slides to May
Like Emily
Emily in ginger
And me, above
Emily in ginger
And me, in love
Like the papership hopes of small town boys
Like grown up cars and other toys
My tell-tale heart's another noise
For Emily
My thoughts ferment to wine for you
The sky grew dark and I did too
The earth could shift, I'd still be true
For Emily
Like a seagull's glide along the shore
A baby's cry for more then more
The sudden sound from a slammed door
From Emily
Emily in ginger
And me, above
Emily in ginger
And me, in love
Emily in ginger
And me, above
Emily in ginger
And me, in love
Like Pooh sticks floating in a stream
Soldiers and the plots they scheme
Horses pull a raging team
For Emily
Like aching bones and ties that bind
From the greying streets of daily grind
Suddenly this something's mine
For Emily
Emily in ginger
And me, above
Emily in ginger
And me, in love

So and so is sailing boats
Heads and legs and arms will float
Truth can sink down anyway
Fighting's over 'til Sunday
Better fix this lighting rig
So many more holes to dig
Earth is piling high around
Tortured soul can jump the sound of
10-4 into two, things I'd rather do, here
Hold the sky and feel the weather
We could be as two together
But we died and gone to see
Laughing corpses on TV
10-4 into two, things I'd rather do, here
No more plans from this day onward
Christian soldiers burning crosswood
And they will burn in their own hell
'Cause wooden people burn so well
10-4 into two, don't know what else to do
10-4 into two, don't know what else to do, here

Raven sings through the sky, corn grows higher than high
Field sweeps towards the sun, and my heart races and runs
And my heart races and runs
Clouds shift in the wind, as I fall in love all again
And I try to tell you I do, when I'm out walking with you
When I'm out walking with you
When I'm out walking with you, it's a dream, it's a dream
Alone in a world as we two, country lanes, me and you
Farm houses pass by, old farmers wave hi
To everyone saying hello, I wish you felt what I know
When I'm out walking with you, it's a dream, it's a dream
Alone in a world as we two, open skies, me and you
Leaves race 'cross the ground, love's lost and then found
You kick at a stone, and I feel so much at home
And I feel so much at home

Faithless Disciple
03:17
|

I am a dark, faithless disciple
On a pale horse I do ride
Straight for a town where there's no arrival
Just a storm cloud in the sky
Just a storm cloud in the sky
I am the resurrected cowboy
I don't miss you anymore
I left my grave to come and see you
With a broken heart still poor
There was a day
Much as a danger
When I preached
Of valentines
But now I reach
As if a stranger
Let my pale horse be a sign
I am the sheath around a dagger
With the scent of cheapest wine
Like the blade you'll see me flashing
When the evening says it's time
I am a dark, faithless disciple
On a pale horse I do ride
Straight for a town where there's no arrival
Just a storm cloud in the sky
Just a storm cloud in the sky

Whirlwind
07:14
|

Sunday streets are empty
The city sun cries down
Kicking in your front gate
But no one's around
Someone used to live here
Someone had a wife
Now I'm lost in the past year
In another life
Caught up in a whirlwind
Swept right off the ground
Caught up in a whirlwind
But I don't hear a sound
A sound
Once our love was solid
Before it turned to dust
The wind began to scatter
What was left of us
Whippoorwill glides easy
Against the angry sky
Trees bend with the breezes
Which slowly answer why
Where we lost it shadows can be found
Misty mirrors, memories all around
Where we lost it shadows can be found
Misty mirrors, memories all around
Now I stand before you
As if a block of stone
Walked in with these flowers
Now I walk alone
Caught up in a whirlwind
Swept right off the ground
Caught up in a whirlwind
But I don't hear a sound

Memory Captures Time
03:05
|

Framed in my mind's eye
Pictures so high of friends I know
Stored a windswept beach
Just out of reach here time is slow
We keep all these thoughts somewhere
They keep us without a care
My memory captures time
See that girl you saw some years before
She has not changed
Hold her hand between life and daydream
You'll feel no pain
I keep all these things somewhere
They keep me without a care
My memory captures time
Yes time is on my mind
'Cause my memory captures
My memory captures time
My memory captures time
Yes time is on my mind
'Cause my memory captures
My memory captures time
My memory captures
My memory captures
My memory captures
My memory captures
My memory captures
My memory captures time

Carousel Days
05:15
|

Crying skies don't weep for me
For I am lost in reverie
Riding carousel days
Crowded people everywhere
Lost in though they do not care
Riding carousel days
Riding coasting gliding boasting
Butterfly floats in time
Aging patterns all in rhyme
Gliding carousel days
Riding carousel days
Colored posters, cowboy holsters
Call to me
Call to me in summertime
Call to me in words that rhyme
Rhyming carousel days
Rhyming carousel days
Rhyming carousel days
Asking me when I'd be free
Then I would see my childhood friends
Then I would see my sunny friends
My sunny friends
My friends

Straight From The Heart
05:54
|
|||
My memory fails to claim
Every road of my flight
It seems that we have lost our way
In the dark of the night
I believe it was only love
From the start
We'll find the song we can sing
Straight from the heart
Fortune is lost, I know for sure
The feeling money can't buy
Ang though the cost of living
Seems so much
What do we need, really,
To feel alive?
Here are sounds of emptiness
Sounds of laughter and joy
There is a song deep within
Fear can't destroy
I believe it was only love
From the start
We'll find the song we can sing
Straight from the heart
We'll find the song we can sing
Straight from the heart
