Return
02:50
|

The clouds and stormy skies were thickening
Until you came,
the brightest sun, bluest eyes
we cried
as those tears rolled down
we worried, endless days in flight
I will soon return
your arms will burn for mine
I believe in true small miracles like you
a genuine smile
a hard walked mile
a trial
as those tears rolled down we flourished
endless days in sight
I will soon return
your arms will burn for mine
though it might be late
there's still time
we will rise
we will shine
we will try
The clouds and stormy skies were thickening
Until you came, the brightest sun
the bluest eyes
we cried

You kicked the habit
but you didn't want your friends to know
and all that shit that we split
well it's working for you now
every time that you see
a blind face in the rear view mirror
it's my lines that you stole
and covered up
kiss me love
now it's goodbye
i'll make you moan
make you cry
miss me while I go to hell
it's my creation
my own cell
And all around
the kids don't hear a sound
and the songs I play go underground
I drive through town
with all the windows down
cuz I'm the runner up today
I'm writing songs
singin' up this latest salvo
i wrote just for you
cold hearted plans
a freak without a mantra
written lists you rendered
salvo- wrote it just for you
salvo- wrote it just for you
salvo- wrote it just for you

Do You Remember
03:24
|

I found your clear blue sky
in a cloud hanging down on me
playing moonlight mile
through a pile of misery
When we were younger girl
you sang a song for me
it was a masterpiece
do you remember?
Ooohh....
Favorite song's on your vintage stereo
record spins around and your needle's down
put your needle down
I found your true blues
lying in a garden near the grocery
and a permanent scar in your arm
where the nighttime bleeds
I'm dreaming of the days
the ones we took for free
do you remember girl?
do you remember girl?
do you remember girl?
Remember the girl?
A younger girl...

Miracle
04:07
|
|||
We're getting close to something we've longed for
Just so delighted, attracted to you
It took a rock to walk up this mountain
Thought I could taste the top of the peak
Yeah it's gonna take a miracle
for you to get sober again
I tried to find the lyrical
but something tells me it's just pretend
Never gonna see you again
Your watch says half nine
You're late for work again
You missed the red line
Home from central square
Something fleeting
Maybe it's a feeling
Write it on a napkin
Squirt it on a hot dog
You denied it, never tried it
Never gonna get yourself
Never gonna get there
The girls are in motion
Wearing white jeans
The passion is guilty
She's just seventeen
I was lost, no dough in my pockets
Strung out stranded, caught in between
Two roads low, and one I was hung on
You came along and rescued me
At night we grow weary
And they tell me that it's over again
I try to find the lyrical
But something tells me it's just pretend
And it's gonna take a miracle for you
gonna take a miracle for me
It's gonna take a miracle for you
Gonna take a miracle
Never gonna see you again

Misty Morning Fog
05:37
|

In the misty morning fog we caught a ship out to sea
you were fetching, barely waking
calling out to me
In the captain's quarters you found
all the change from your life
all in a cup, washed up and waiting
for you tonight
and you know how this game goes
I've been lost and out to sea
While my golden melodies escape me now i fear
I've found you were good for me
ooohhh ooohhh ooohhh
ooohhh ooohhh aaaah
aaaah aaaah aaaah
but you know i would wait
for a decade
behind the cold bars of this prison
for those golden memories
are few and far between
and you caused nearly have of my life
you did, you did
you cost nearly half of our lives
Aahhh, Oooooh
West she goes, it's in her eyes
When she dreams I'll be asleep
where'd she go?
To Californ, it's in her lies
when she leaves I'll be asleep
west she's gone
Go on baby, hold your head and cry
It's time to pack the lorry up again
Something we both knew was bound to die
So fill up your wine glass
drink it up slowly
cry all night in your armchair
til the dawn
West she goes
it's in her eyes
When she leaves I'll be asleep
there she goes
and alcohol, it's in her arms
she will cradle it, and baby,
west she'll go

Golden Lights
03:35
|

Yesterday the dailies came to you
Flowers on the table with bread
Golden lights, golden lights
Yesterday the dailies came to you
Ripped up on a Saturday evening
Dried up in a sermon's repair
Passing wine, passing wine
Another day's paid self-medication
How did all the years go by
We sang your song a thousand times
Every time i close my eyes
I wonder where we'll be in the morning
(there will be no other time in the light)
All the booze you lifted on
All the sizes you've worn
All the shame you've carried for so long
All the news you've written
All the lies you've buried
All the tears you've tasted for so long
Flowers on a passing by casket
Towers in a state of disrepair
Golden lights, golden lights
A glimmer that fades into your sunset
All the booze you lifted on
All the signs you've buried
All the years you've wasted for so long

Big Dipper

When the whiskey dries up
will you feel much better?
will you get off the couch?
will you write a letter?
If the sen sen runs out
will you fuel a hell drive
on a two day bender
interstate 95
Susan's on the line
a bottle of red wine
grapes fall off the vine,
become discolored
habits all of mine
it happens all the time
when the liquor flows
there she goes
and hope you feel much better
I hope you feel much better
Paul McCartney singing humble pie
and fighting for his name in the dusty hall of fame
I hope he feels much better
I hope you feel much better
The clowns at passenger side
took your pride and sacked you
one day we'll drive in your car
windows down, sideways
Big Dipper in the sky
I crossed your path a thousand times
My muse has drifted off to sea
So I thought I'd borrow you.

Simulations

Simulations cannot prepare
the young for winters of despair
Sunday school could be Saturday's felony
Salutations of blind respect
on the floor where you genuflect
Sunday's fools led Saturday's revelry
On quaint stone walls
the center of town
the future lights a cigarette
like the past you got there too fast
now you're checking for signs
bloodshot eyes, sudden mood swings
do you arbitrate or give a pass
with rose colored glasses on
aaaaaahhhhhhh
aaaaaahhhhhhh
a choo choo train, a rubber spoon
an off key tune
singing songs of praise
in a daze now you're
pampered and coddled
exhausted role models in rehab
mental abstinent, far from diligent
aah aa aa
aah aa aa
aah aa aa
aah aa aa
aah aa aa
aah aa aa
aah aa aa
Simulations cannot prepare
the young for winters of despair
sunday school could be Saturday's felony
Salutations of blind respect
on the floor where you genuflect
Sunday's fools led Saturday's revelry

The Runway
02:58
|

Love is on the runway, flying to Miami
Hot June friday, the first of summer
from the window I can see your eyes aglow
This feeling won't go
And when I leave
could you forgive me
and try to find the love
we left behind
Oh connect my soul
Where's my home
Love is on the runway
Hiding in the city
The last of summertime
We left behind
But everything becomes remiss
I'm shaken by the kiss
I thought you should know
Please just go
Go on, bye bye bye bye bye
