Miss

Ringing bell
I love your boom, I love your sound
Your singing swell fills the room,
and then I feel so proud
to be your miss,
to gain your kiss under the satellite
Our eyes swam when we began
the first and fiery night
Summer's warm
and winter's night were lookin for a sign
when all at once everything burst,
everything shone with light
My heavy hands had other plans
but then you kissed me twice
We were born again
The stars and you and I marched across the sky
Love mouth,
you laced a crown to place upon my head
and my shoulders
And how I kept that kiss upon my desk
Ever quiet,
holy silent like cathedral rest
I bless the night,
bless the starry eyes of our first christmas
And I'll miss you
I'll miss you
I'll miss you
I'll miss you

Eternal Christmas

Ringing bell
I love your boom, I love your sound
Your singing swell, it fills the room,
and then I feel so proud
to be your miss,
to gain your kiss under the satellite
Our eyes swam when we began
the first and fiery night
of our eternal christmas

Cold at the Step
01:57
|
|||
It's cold outside, it's cold outside
But I'm doin' my best to keep you alive
It's cold at the walk, it's cold at the walk
Cold in your fingers, cold in your talk
It's cold at the stair, it's cold at the step
But we sold our share when we up and left
So I'll put my coat across your brow
'cause our hometown is further yet
Never met a man who didn't live outside
Lookin for a plan, lookin for a wife
All the other brothers say they stay home,
but they lie, they lie
I'm warm within, I'm warm within
Warm by your glories, warm by your sins
Warm by your kicks, warm by your shins
Warm by your beats, warm by your spins
We've plenty of thick, plenty of thin
We've got enough stories to fill fifteen pens
Let's go together, my head in your hand
till it warm outside, it's warm at the step
it's warm at our shins, and it's warm within

Prisons
02:54
|
|||
I've got these chains on,
I don't know where they came from
Somehow I put them on,
Never had clear vision,
living life in a prison
Come and set me free
From this prison I don't know I'm in
Come and set me free
from this prison I don't know I'm in

The Thief
02:45
|
|||
I am the thief
who took more than I could share
I look so cool
takin' more than what was spare
I am the thief
I'll swindle you for a chair
from thirteen rows back
I couldn't hear you if I cared
I am the cheat
but my God, he looks so brave
I never fear death
or at least that's what I say
I'm gonna buy the best grave
that money has ever seen
And when I'm layin' in my bed,
no one's gonna cry for me
It wasn't more than I deserved
I am the crook
who got more than I could bear
I look so cool
but the truth is that I was scared

My Mother
00:57
|
|||
Life kissed my mother goodbye
one too many times.
They kiss, they weep,
they leave and they leave ya
She will forget you, but I'll not forget you
as a mother forgets the babe at her breast
Do not kiss me goodbye
Do not put me in the fire
unless that is where you are choosing to sleep
Wherever you go, there I'll be
learning your god and sharing your bitter drink
|

Hush
03:14
|
|||
Hush little baby, don't say a word
I know this life can put on a hurt
You're caught up in things that are dragging you down
And you're somebody else when there's no one around
You can't sleep peacefully
Hush little baby take a deep breath
You might not ever quite understand death
You keep doing the math but it doesn't add up
One by one losing the ones that you love
Do they sleep peacefully?
Ahhh
You're kicking and screaming and causing a scene
Blood covered hands, will they ever be clean?
Keep telling the devil to get behind you
I will too, I will too

Peter PS

Peter, patron saint
Could you ever love me?
Will you remember me before the throne of God?
Peter, patron saint
Your fledgling bride is lovely
You were right to leave that ship
in search for men and keys
You and I will find
if such a thing could ever be
on the other side of death
we'll be like Peter
Singing, singing endlessly
Singing, singing endlessly
while the kids are fast asleep
Your prairie home is nice,
your fledgling bride is lovely
You gave her keys to your apartment
and there she waits in peace
You and I will find
if such a thing could ever be
On the other side of death
we'll be like Peter
Singing, singing endlessly
Singing, singing endlessly
while the kids are fast asleep

Fall like Men
04:36
|
|||
We're the harmony
We're the fourth and fifth part
Honey, you and me
we will dive like stars
But in the meantime
you will hang my clothes
I'll pay your bills
and you'll take me to shows
and we count the weeks
Ooh
Happy is the ghost
who finds a friend
gliding on his toes
hand in fading hand
Killers at our worst
and lovers at our best
You would heal the world
and I would heal your breast
But in the meantime
you'll hang up my clothes
I'll pay your bills
and you'll take me to shows
and we count the weeks
'Til we fall like men of the law
'Til we die like men from the sky

Turned Sweet

|

He's comin', comin'
to save us in our sleep
He is taken, taken
Our bitter drink has now turned sweet

Glad Friends
04:26
|
|||
I could've seen
how this would end
It's all a dream
Glad we're still friends
Slow is the gate
and cold are your feet
Ten years too late
you let out your sheep
Honey believe me
I don't mean to offend
How could you be
glad we're still friends
Glad we're still friends
Glad we're still friends
What was it worth
What was it worth
It took everything that I had
You took everything that I had

Never Give You Up
01:28
|
|||
I'll never give you up
I'll keep on taking you back
I'll never give you up
I'll keep on taking you back

Wild and Tall
01:30
|

Wild and tall
Falling star
Nobody knows
just how far this will go
Wild and tall
Grow so strong
Nobody knows
just how long this will go on

Lilies and Birds
05:10
|
|||
Get no sleep, you get no peace
Let those sheep, and leave them be
Hand over that heavy load
and the root that hurt you most
Set a fire upon your bed
and sleep inside my tree instead
Let your laughter go ahead
and get the hell out of your head
Let your laughter fill the room
Fill our hearts and fill our spoons
Let your laughter fill the room
Fill our hearts and fill our spoons
See the lilies of the field
See the birds of the air
See the lilies of the field
See the birds of the air
See them in the field
See them in the air
See the lilies of the field
See the birds of the air
Lay down all your fear
Line up all your care
See the lilies of the field
See the birds of the air

Count your Trees
05:21
|
|||
You once were a forest as tall as you please
Now even a child can count all your trees
Sold out and struck down for nothin', for free
I'm waiting for death to loose its sting
Waiting for suffering to stop remembering
to pick off piece by piece all I have seen
My father, he's got plans big as you please
But his joy has fallen from his cheeks to his sleeves
and he don't know how to taste the honey for the bees
Momma, she's wearin the city's best smile
She's got a spark to make you beg for a flame
but she can't remember the worth of her name
I'm a crack in the door, a meal on the floor
But you and him got the same sins
Our courage gets thin, mirrors grow dim
But along with her, oh sir
You once were a forest as tall as you please
Now even a small child can count all your trees
You sold out for nothin, ill buy you for free
We wait for death to loose its sting
We wait for suffering to stop remembering
to pick off piece by piece all we have seen
Hold your breath with me
Hold your breath with me
