- Track Name: good to go
-
feeling like I cannot move
to the place I have w/ you
it's not like yesterday
it's all been washed away
is there a secret to
the rhythm I have with you?
taking care to take your hand
& dancing where we can
if we stood & laughed & cried
in a universe that died
would we be the same
in a world that's all the same
leave it all to be undone
& it all comes out as one
easing into your amazing
world until the end
take me as I am I'm not afraid
take you at your word and we got it made
we run a race together
without a finish line
no time or record of
anything that went before
do we stop or do we know
if this is all for show
throw away the visions of
somewhere else to go
who am I now? / who was I then
who do we make ourselves out to be?
it's time to move on / it's time to let go
just say the word dear and I am good to go
beyond the words our bodies form
to make like we know what
syllables of silent hearts
& a chemistry of one
pack up your coat we're heading north
in search of you and me
lost along with us & them
to be what we will be - Track Name: rhymes with you
-
are you still the woman I knew
no more gray and no more blue
I don't know what I don't know who
you have made yourself into
we fell in love in the middle of the sea
the joy was hard but the sex was free
we made a place for us to be
in the storm of you and me
there ain't a thing that rhymes with you
but I will not stop trying to
should I brace myself or open my arms to you
I might as well open my eyes to the world
we make and keep on making real
I have heard your story before
it has me now and I want it more
I keep on digging for the core
it turns inside me & I want to know what it's for
I don't know if this is right
sometimes I think I might
prefer the love of your fight
instead of rest in your delight - Track Name: baby, hey
-
baby, hey
we pretended it was summer in the eisenhower tunnel on a night like this
the cold, the snow, the crystalline show... it was like a dream
in a kiss we turned the heat up high and said, "man, ain't it hot!"
sweating and laughing forever it seemed... all of our days went on like this
but there's no time in the world that would turn up the truth about our twisted tale
the here and then there, another timeless stare, denying it all without fail
but that crazy old guy cold stone-faced wise, yeah he saw right through
the both of our lies in the both of our eyes... it was all we thought we could do
I'm falling in love with you again
just like we said we never would, but then
on a night like this I know
it's hard to see where it will all go
both you and I know we'll say, "baby, hey! just this once"
I know we said it many times before and now it's, "baby, hey! just this once"
you want it just as much as I do so, "baby, hey! just this once"
both you and I know we'll say, "baby, hey! just this once"
on the motorcycle I thought you would like it if we went real fast
with your arms around my chest and your head on my neck, would I believe you at last
no I was surprised how real the world became when you kissed me deep
how could I know all the love in the world was ours to keep?
the last time I talked to you on the phone you seemed so far away
the silence was inviting though you probably didn't mean it I have always taken you that way
the birthday calls and all the letters have gone away
I guess we can chalk it up to another talk and we will both be on our way - Track Name: I don't cry for you
-
I don't cry for you
I didn't want to drive
through the night for you
w/ everybody sleeping while I dream
but it had to come to this
speaking to you now
on the road to see you where you lie
(oh you know that)
I don't cry for you
no... I just want to know
why I was silent on that day when you fell
you never told me what to wear
what kind of shoes, how to part my hair
with my reflection foreign in your eyes
'cause I just wear your life
like a broken melody
w/ all the changes you have made for me
[chorus]
sleep on the fallen dreams of mine
rest in our undiscovered time
I never saw the sea
so hungry for your breath
the ocean only whispers in the night
and if I give myself to the tide
will you be there in the deep
or will I swim with nothing but the wind?
[chorus]
sleep on the fallen dreams of mine
rest in our undiscovered time - Track Name: discarded
-
discarded (mine to live now)
walking to the sea through the cold cold fog
no one says hello no one shakes my hand
if we were done I wouldn't sigh
so loud it might be late but I
know that you are here
in the hills I know there is a place
that I hide in just to save my face
all the sounds of love have been a lie
so loud it might be true but no
ever time you speak
I hear my life discarded
you take your time to say it
time & time again you just
go on and on...
I won't have any of it
my life is mine to live now
my choices make my destiny
[break]
the sound of surf and the might of mist
if it came down to it would I give up this
a hidden joy both here and there
so loud it might be heard from here
crashing on the rocks
[chorus]
in the waves in the echoes of unrest
power through the tides inland to your heart
lose myself in the night in the fury in you
so loud it might be alive still, only
only you can say
[chorus] - Track Name: so long
-
why so long
I don't know if you can see me now
but the wind & the stars are circling
all around our only light
& the world goes hey wow I know (yeah)
my only love / is moving slow
the complicated life that we have made
is the only life the we can take
beyond these simple thoughts
it might take a lifetime to see...
my only love / to wake with me
[chorus]
I know this feeling could be wrong
but I am strong 'cause I can be
all I have dreamed / but why so long
chemicals & surgeries won't save your life
a simple voice / a simple heart
is all I want from you
if we make it past this fold in time
my only love / we'll be fine
[chorus]
honestly, I don't understand
why we make it so hard on ourselves
well it shouldn't matter, I shouldn't care
but I sing myself to sleep / I sing to you right there
[chorus]
holding the truth like water in the wind
like saving time to make you mine
I want to do it right
but the silence sometimes is so loud
my only love / we're standing proud
[chorus] - Track Name: the war we are
-
the war we are
you spin around, you toss your hair
I don't care... fly where you will
you should know that you cannot win that way
it's not your voice or the way you stand
this is my land... and I fly where I will
even I should know that I cannot win this way
get on the wheel can't you feel the pain
it's not the lies, it's our love again
we had a chance and we took it in
we make the bed and we love again
what is this world in the things we say
is this our way? do we fly where we will
everybody thinks that we cannot win this way
get on the wheel can't you feel the pain
it's not the lies, it's our love again
we had a chance and we took it in
we make the bed and we love again
where will we go when we have won the war we are
what will we see? what will we be?
just one more thing I have to say
this part I play... is the part I want with you
holding you this way as if the world might just go away - Track Name: julie lynn

julie lynn
I love you, Julie Lynn
let's try this thing again
it all seems so far away
no matter how we begin
everything was broken
when the sun went down down down
are these the pieces we will take
when we leave this town?
I love you, Julie Lynn
the world may whine & it may cry
never will I say goodbye
time may wind its wonder down
I will always be around
no one knows my love for you
like I know you do me
we really must be a sight to see
shining through & through
I love you, Julie Lynn - Track Name: promise
-
promise
the stars above us are falling tonight
& the grass is wet with dew
I wish I could hold you forever like this
just a breath away from you
all your dreams are still so young
in a world that is feeling old
but the light in your eyes
is as bright as that star
that fell into my sould
make me a promise now
and look into my eyes and say
I will live my dreams and
baby we will fly
when you were born and still wet with life
your eyes were new to the world
when I put out my hand you held on
like you'll always be my girl
the arc of light around us both
cradles our love and sets us free
& it was you that told me
of your delight
in choosing a dad like me
[chorus]
[break]
play with me in the rain tonight
the lightning shows us how
tomorrow is some other day
for now we live in that now
[chorus]
