Like A Drum 02:29
Want if I want if I want you any more like a drum burst a drum I would burst just like a drum Lead can you down can you lead me down the road place me to take me to take me to a quiet place Lost am I lost among the crowd face the crowd among like a black shroud
2.
Sorry piano that's never been played sits alone in a room by the stairs oh would we go in there and give it a chance if the walls hadn't been made of glass who will hold you in the morning I'll call you who will stay with you in the morning I'll want you then it's curtains
3.
We Can See 02:48
You can see very easily You can see I'm a sad eyed fool I can see In the way you move I can see You're a wounded bird We'll take it day by day I want you to speak to me Don't say a word Just speak to me Speak to me Let the light bare me down home Sifting silent back to one Stay with me
4.
Water's Edge 02:58
She said hush your mouth you're making too much noise and she led me by the hand through darkness into thorns There's a man by a ferryboat he stands holding oar in hand he's waiting for me I asked, "Sir, will you take a dime?" he turned to me and said, "No I've seen too much change in my time alone." She said what do you think can change a man I said given enough time all things are laid bare but I knew regret's the only thing that ever changed me and I lied and there we laid breathing quiet in And thread bare and needle worn I walked to the water's edge and had myself a drink and watched my reflection think alone
5.
When I Go 03:39
There's a knocking at my door getting harder to ignore and a grand black dog who sits where my grave will be And when he dies upon my side I'll bear his likeness in black ink But who will bear me when I go I the man With calloused hands and you my queen no more eighteen our daughter's grown a blushing bride our son's a ghost gone with the tide And who can bear it when they go
6.
The Ox 04:51
If I could burn thoughts away with my butane lighter I would be covered now in ash though your voice would still be ringing Thought I could sleep you away lose you in corridors of dreaming but in the morning I see clear all of the places you'd be waiting There's a world under the earth don't it call when it all starts to hurt There's a deep sky above all our eyes though we may try we can't realize Maybe it's like cold steel or ice that shoots through my head As I turn the key and drive away into night Screaming and pushing myself Passing all the places I want to be Is anything better than where I am And If I the ox cannot go on what of the load I've borne since the dawn And if I the crow am lame what of my flight should I scratch across town until I'm gone? You can't just sleep on a night like that or any night unique without diving in to the depth of the moment But all the same it adheres to you and the song I sung rails across me and I don't remember you at all
7.
Burn Me Down 03:16
You you burn me down like that old house you burn me down to the ground I I tumble slow like all the cards that ever stacked I fall apart You can't run away it seems from what goes flying through your dreams and memories you long neglected come upon you unexpected and tired I search for the hand to have and hold at my demand but she is nowhere to be seen and I'm lost You you ran me down as on a plain were I the prey you ran me down We We fade light like into the evening we fade like light tonight I can't follow you my dear into that void that we both fear where silence is the balance held and though you cry you make no sound oh I'll go first while fast asleep, tow away with all the years and find a place to wait for you to come
8.
I know that i've been callous foolish Cold but now I can see it feel it Me with a hole in my heart but it wasn't there from the start I'd trade it for yours in a downbeat and shuffle away to sleep No one leaves with their hands clean unseen try as you may some things don't fade away though we pray Me with a hole in my heart but it wasn't there from the start I'd trade it for yours in a downbeat and shuffle away to sleep
9.
Lever 01:44
To run like a curse down a blood line through the night lit streets is the crux and I am the lever tonight
10.
When it gets like this don't hesitate I'm calling all the cards And when it falls apart we'll be awake Hold you tongue Take me on I know what you said When it gets like this your demon's on your back And you're blinded by the light Hold your tongue take me on I know what you said We were looking round for anything you asked for couldn't get around in the city
11.
Steam 04:06
Like steam upon the glass in spite of all that's passed what haunts us now is a haunts us now is a I hear the undertow that pulls from what we know and falls upon the shore of what we can endure Looking out your backseat window taking everything in sight looking out your backseat window moving faster than you'd like Like simple moments can slip through unnoticed hands and jealousy unwinds to fall among the pines Not another I think I've lost my depth and now all I've got left is stupid honesty 'bout things that matter to me Like heavy paychecks cashed and rolling hills far back as any eye can see though you know it's just me And where are all my friends way back from summerland we used to hold up the night on our sun tanned backs but one by one we go to solemn futures bold our mother's holding their breath I miss my dog to death Gone the empty room Ever more a tomb And we are are fast asleep we are fast asleep Like when the evening fell, us under summer's spell and how we turned to stone we were looking out upon- Haven't we given up
12.
Dream 02:08
Down here it's just rags or riches so I'm bound south to a place where a man can be warm Sweep me off my feet Take me off these rolling wheels Sweep me off my feet Show me how fire feels Dream a dream a little dream come with me on painted wings Fly, we'll fly we'll fly through the night sailing over ocean tides Been frozen For far too long (but I) hear a train a howling' and I am low
13.
Everclearer 02:30
Maybe I will make a million and with it buy a home alone I'll surround myself with dogs and brahms all the things I thought I knew they fly away day by day and all the things I fear know just where to find me I don't want to have to drink but with this bottle at my side I can see you everclearer all the shadows that i've cast they run right behind me and all the ghosts of moments past they haunt me to the last But I can see you see you I can see you ever clearer
