Brand New Moon
04:06
|
|||
I'm gonna burn your house down
And leave you standing in the ruins
I'm gonna burn your house down
And leave you staring at a brand new moon
You will see
Nothing here is real
There's nothing you should fear
There's no one you can't be
And you'll know there's nothing you don't know
Nothing you don't own
And nowhere you can't go
I'm gonna cut your heart out
And leave you in a lonely room
I'm gonna cut your heart out
Then you'll know you miss your one true jewel
You will start to value what you are
You'll risk the loss of not living for your love
In dusk and dawn we will be reborn
In everything we are
In everywhere we roam
In the forest, in the wasteland
On the ocean or in the valley
On a warm beach
In the mountains
Across the wide fields
Or in the desert

Burn the Edges
04:09
|
|||
Should I burn the edges
Of every kind love letter
That I wrote to you
Should I place small flowers
And expensive vases
In every room
What should I do
To mean more to you
Should I buy your ring
With more than diamonds
Maybe emeralds too
Should I steal a star
Maybe the whole universe
And bring it home for you
What should I do
To mean more to you
I believe in our future
But I believe in love right now
I believe you'll soon let go
Of these fairy tales you have
I believe in your kindness
And I believe you soon will know
That childhood has passed you by
I am standing by your side
You don't have to fear or cry anymore
I would drown the oceans
Hold back raging waters
That would never do
Shall I drive a Jaguar
Wear expensive clothes
And move to Hollywood
What should I do
To mean more to you

Everything Was Easy
03:40
|
|||
We spent our days at Atashari River
Listening to the railway trains pass by
The days stretched out forever and forever
In summer afternoons or winter skies
Were we just a grace of age?
Was that all we were?
Everything was easy
We staked our claim at Atashari River
We built a bridge and we built ourselves a home
We took our time and pieced it all together
You could never wash away memories this strong
Were we just a great mistake?
Was that all we were?
Everything was easy
Now nothing can replace
All those precious days
Were we destined for mistakes?
Was that all we were?

Milk and Honey Soul
02:36
|
|||
You took me in your house of cards
I took a look and swept it to the floor
You told me that your father left when you were eight
I said I'd seen your mom
Girl, there's a good reason
For why you've always felt alone
In this world, this cruel world
You've still got a milk and honey soul
You took your car to a charity
They chopped it up and sent you back a bill
Your best friend took your first true love
And she's your best friend still
Girl, there's a good reason
For why you've always felt alone
In this world, this cruel world
You've still got a milk and honey soul
You say you're still a virgin girl
Another thing which makes me want you more
Another thing to steal from you
Beside the jewelry in your drawer
Girl, there's a good reason
For why you've always felt alone
In this world, this cruel world
You've still got a milk and honey soul

Trinity Tavern
04:04
|
|||
Come on down to the Trinity Tavern
All your friends will be waiting there
Have a drink at the Trinity Tavern
Drop a quarter in the jukebox and we'll share this dance
If you need a moment to rest
Like we all do
If you need a place to belong
Like we all do
Then come on down
Come on down to the Gramercy Garden
Grab a park bench and watch the people there
There's always room at the Gramercy Garden
Beneath the fountains and the statutes and the flowerbeds
If you need a moment to rest
Like we all do
If you need a place to belong
Like we all do
Then come on down

Honesty
04:20
|
|||
Honesty held out her hand
Her kindness was a mystery
Prepared to take away all my fears
Prepared to lift a weight off me
But I did not believe her
I wasn't strong or brave
When honesty held out her hand
I wish I had grabbed it then
Honesty held out her hand
Her face flush with sincerity
Prepared to take away all my fears
Prepared to lift a weight off me
But I did not believe her
I hadn't heard her name
Honesty held out her hand
Then she turned away

By Your Side
02:55
|
|||
I don't have to be lonesome anymore
Now that you're here by my side
I don't have to sleep in the tall grass anymore
Now that you're here by my side
You've done me good
You said you would
I am born renewed

I Need You
03:08
|
|||
Standing on the front porch in the cold
A place we've stood so many nights before
Your silence grips my heart with sadness as strong as a war
I know I've done you wrong
A memory as urgent as a flood
A memory that has driven us apart
With each breath I taste regret inside my throat
You don't need me no more
I need you
Reaching for your shoulder
Your head turns
This rising guilt still haunts me like a curse
Your eyes start crying when you whisper these few words
You don't think you'll return
I need you
And when the moonlight creeps
Over these city streets
All we used to dream came true
Long walks side by side
A cafe's brilliant lights
I wish I had said goodbye
And saved myself from ruin
I need you

An Ending
03:33
|
|||
Are we coming to an end again
Have the years blown past us like the wind
When we don't fight and we don't pretend
It seems we're coming to an end again
Are we coming to an end once more
Will we have the strength we had before
All the places that we've never been
Are we coming to an end again
I believe
I'll still believe in you
Are we coming to a resting place
What are the letters we want in our graves
All the places that we've never been
Are we coming to an end again
I believe
I'll still believe in you

St. Cecilia
05:33
|
|||
I've been accused of stealing
Gifts which can't be measured
And I've served time for treason of rhyme
Now allegiance sounds much better
With my pedal floored on south 304
I've sent my woman's bloodlines revving
But until tonight when I stumbled inside
I've never been in need of heaven
St. Cecilia
Won't you cover me
Wrap your arms around me tight
Like your rosary
Is it so wrong that I want to believe
We live on
Carved in stone
Baptised headlong into wine and song
As of yet, I'm not recovered
And good advice may suit you just fine
But give me hot nights in summer
When flying too high in unfriendly skies
Yielded stories not yet forgotten
Until tonight when your smile met mine
And I found me another heaven
So tonight as I burn freedom bridges down
With no regard for its passing water
It's because it never seemed right
To watch an honest man die
With his arms outstretched for the border
And if I march this world
With my flag unfurled
Standing tall with my conviction
Then I will be alright
Because I've got you by my side
And that is one step closer to heaven
