Your eyes (your eyes)
Your eyes are green in the rain
Sometimes you feel it
We really want things to change
One moment there the next I fly back
it happened too fast a jolt from the past
I wish all of our times would never end
You said to me let's remember this
Send me away with a kiss
One moment there the next moment's gone
It happens too fast nothing will last
What to tell her from the other side?

After Time

After time
Go to work
Meet my friends
Read the bad news
All the time
All the way
Hold my breath
Feel the heat feel my body
Any time
After time
Go to sleep
Have it all
and have nothing
After time
Waking up
Getting dressed
Let a sigh out
(Let a sigh out)
Going back
(Going back)
Draping the curtains
(Draping the curtains)
Down the stairs
Making tea
On the couch
Check the clock
Left too late
After time
Missed the bus
(Missed the bus again)
Walk it off
(Walk it off)
Missed the call
Missed my purpose

Sierra Song

I have made up my mind I am going out west
To the peaks with my friend a mountainous guest
Don't fret I'll be home after all this is done
You can bet we'll bring back a spiraling sun
It's all right
We'll leave first light
Take my hand
Hold it tight
White ridge tops as far as I can see
We will walk to the base underneath the pine trees
Overhead the crest pops over the clouds
As we pass by the birds we will keep our heads bowed.
It's all right
We'll leave first light
Take my hand
Hold it tight

Scandal
04:53
|
|
||
Someone else is me I know it
It's so hard to admit it
It is such a scandal that we see each other different
Isn't it a comfort that we depart in love
I have doubts all the same I have vision
It's so hard not to lose it
It is such a scandal that we see each other different
Isn't it a comfort that we depart in love
If we had it our way, we'd be spring buds all around
Open to the sunshine, and rooted to the ground
Spreading like the wild grass
Soaking up the sound
Closer to the earth
And homeward bound
If we had it our way

Sivan Song
01:51
|

Oh how was it today
When you went out
For the first time
Since we said goodbye
Oo take your first steps
Into the sun
Oh none of it is fun
Unless you open your heart
Speak out loud
And slacken your grip
Oo take your first steps
Into the sun

Oo! What's that Sound?
03:57
|
|||
I understand that I won't be found (I know now)
It's something we've all been feeling.
All together, and all at once.
Oo it's all too much
Out of tune out of touch
Oo what's that sound?
The beat of my feet flat on the ground
Oo what's that sound?
The sound of the wind flowing westward bound
Missed out on attention
Hit the tune from the start
Rewind it just this once
Oo it's all too much
Out of tune out of touch
Oo what's that sound?
The beat of my feet flat on the ground
Oo what's that sound?
The sound of the wind flowing westward bound
Oo what's that sound?
The beat of my feet flat on the ground
Oo what's that sound?
The sound of the wind flowing westward bound

Kimball Sun
03:30
|
|||
There's a wind on Kimball street
and its nipping at my feet
so I turn and I face the east
Oh it's coming through the trees
The writing's on the wall
But the wall's about to fall
I have learned how to heed the call
Now I know to receive it all
I ask yes I ask as I bask in the Kimball Sun.
What should I do, what would you have me do?
Put a smile on a face
In a cool and cloudy place
Is this gale a trace?
Will I ever see you face to face?
How can I help?
I want to feel your embrace
Sometimes in deep introspection you can let go of love (let go of love)
and feel it course from above
Every gust of wind from the sky is a blessing in my eyes a blessing in my eyes.
Put a smile on a face
In a cool and cloudy place
Is this gale a clue?
What should I do?
How should I help?
What can I give to you?
Is this gale a trace?
Will I ever see you face to face?
How can I help?
I want to feel your embrace
There's a breeze in palmer square
and it's tugging at my hair
I am wary but I face the glare
I can't help it so I stare

The Key
03:32
|
|||
What is the key that we all sing
To their blank stares who hears its ring
Where is the path to your big heart
Was it drawn out where do I start
Again start again begin and release your chin
From the grips of the fools who wash their feet
What is the key that we all try
To shout out loud who hears its cry
Who kept the chart that shows the start
Of the bright path into your heart
Again start again begin and release your chin
From the grips of the fools who wash their feet

Shorebirds
02:04
|
|||
Last night I held your hand
Went to the smoldering sands
Sat down under laurels and pines
Sunsets a glistening shine
The sandpiper calls in the night
I kiss your eyes
I know why the shorebirds cry
After the moondark falls
We lay as the kingfisher calls
Walk back to our shack on the blue
Sit down our feelings renewed
The sandpiper calls in the night
I kiss your eyes
I know why the shorebirds cry

Wiggle
03:28
|
|||
When you're running and you're gunning
And you've got no place to go
You will find that I'm right there
Almost every time you're low
So why don't you just open up the door
You were riding round and driving
All around the eastern globe (eastern globe)
Sitting inside little cafes writing down your earnest fears
Freaky thoughts
Holed up messing with you lots
And I know that you're scared all the time
That's not to say you're not the strong one when we're alone
What's the matter?
Are you glad or have you lost your silly ways?
I'm not trying to keep buying into your long and sad days.
So open up
your heart
To what could be
Your favorite part
