Straight Line Wind
03:14
|
|||
|
a straight line wind is coming for you
to race all your lambs and bulls
we have to allow a chance for ourselves
the redeem for times we're cruel
and wear each others clothes tonight
it's right there in front of you
it's a fatal flaw inside your proof
it's an elephant harassing you
just like you thought it's true
she looks at the waves from under the swell
the sunlight breaks like fire
remember the days that we both knelt
to eliminate our desire
and racing to retire the fight
OH!
in two my heart is breaking
and doing what is best
the fears that we are laying
to rest

songbird
the saddest song
the saddest songbird is all your
I'd like to wait for
all that you've got
that you've got
that you find
that you've got
that you wait for
that you've got
that you find

Bend Me a Line
04:18

Meet me inside where I
know that you hear me
what I've been saying
is covered in glue
go get your mother and tell her
I'm holding your baby
dinner is waiting
for the win
oh what's that you found?
oh what's that you find?
send me a sign like a flash from your eyes
that you see me
with my blue earrings
ready to go
Virginia can reel forever
while we are sleeping
play in her fountain
that she knows
Bend me a line to perfect design
like the fables
Bend me a line like your father would find
open your hands and you know
Oh now that I've found you
I can't wait 'till
I can have you

Song for Cecelia
02:35
|
|||
|
you've got one cecelia
you find one cecelia
don't you remember when you were five?
you never could spell compromise
I have one cecelia
I found one cecelia
late at night you're so tired
the spark from the bonfire
adjust the radio dial
it's hard for her to wait to be alone
I'm right for cecelia
I'd die for cecelia
late at night your so tired
and there's still laughter outside
adjust the radio dial
it's hard for her to wait to be alone
it's hard for her to wait to be alone

Don't Fight my Love
03:55
|
|||
|
you showed up one day out of nowhere
you leave the back door open wide
then you say you've got to go
use the words that sound so old
I lose my mind
don't fight my love
it wears me out
don't argue what I'm thinking about
and I say
don't fight the love you doubt
I've seen you catching on to someone
like the state fair came to town
then the seasons start to turn
lessons asked for lessons learned
we're losing ground
don't fight my love...
toy vessels on a lake
painted birds stand in our way
the green wood lights your face in rain
and it never stops without you
I can't wait to
don't fight my love...

On the Way to Shawnee
02:48
|
|||
|
we left in the family van this morning
the darkness had yet to part before me
and we drive with the windows down
while the world is spinning 'round
let's swim to the bottoms the quarries
so Sooners will circle 'round our stories
and the ground blooms start to fight
while the sparklers trace the night
I liked you the way you were
with sparklers and secret words
you were
the time that I've tasted
the fear I have wasted

Porte Dauphine
02:17
|
|||
|
miss you
just like stanley and stella
kiss you when you're under the waves
sometimes I see you rolling around
when you're sideways
swimming in the arms of the ocean
until you're ready to come up to breathe
I wish I could say that you'll never fall down
when you're with me
but you know
that would be
a lie
metro signs say Porte Dauphine
birds will circle around me
eager to find what we'll know
dreaming of place we'll go
Daphne!

Songbird Reprise
01:16
|
|||
|
velvet suits and rabbit souls
a raging muscle beats
beneath your thumb
if I had a razor box a card a book the work
is easy done
gossamer resettings
are outside and line your home
even thought your bankrupt from a loan

Water on the Moon
03:40
|
|||
|
you want this night to last forever
you say there's water on the moon
they told you don't forget your sweater
as you're racing towards your doom
and i close my eyes against the light
you volunteered to man the mission
we hope you'll be successful soon
we want to help with your transition
it isn't lying if it's true
and I close my eyes against the light
you're on a search for undersanding
results are found you must conclude
we couldn't calculate your landing
our nation sends it's love to you
and I close my eyes against the light
Forever and ever alone
