i left my childhood somewhere in hollywood.
i took the long time to get my heart up here.
storms were swelling. jesus in illinois.
who can remember the feeling in the void.
can anybody hear me out here beside road.
am i already under the undertow.
the ocean's reeling. the future ceilings
caving over. over and underneath
and then your mother died. and then your father died.
and then your oceans dried. leaving you soft inside
there were three men. and they were wise men
the room was vacant, so you were taken.

when you've walked a thousand miles in the blistering and cold
and the paths a-freezing over with your ghost.
you tell them you'll be gone and so you're never coming home
and so they'll never understand till you come home.
and just like visions in the snow
i'm trying to learn how to not let go.
and i was so wrong back then
and you were so calm back when
the trees would die and in the light they'd glow.
and i was so wrong back then
and you were so right and when
the cemetery sky would fill with ghosts.
and just like visions in the snow
i'm trying to learn how to not let go.

Too Cold

I would follow you into march
and let you soak up all the rain
and now the summer here is almost gone
along with all the things you should have done.
silence the rock that swiftly breaks
the window panes in my old house
where all the things are now moved out
and fire ate almost everything around
the room. i tried to scream so soft
the scream went through my lungs but my lungs just got
so heavy and tired and full of smoke and ash
no one's going to die for you tonight
when things got rough who hit the lights
who broke the strings in the back of your heart
who put all the flaming arrows out
who took the knife from out of your back
who picked you up when you lost track
who's gonna to be there when you fall
who's gonna die before you get to cold.
probably won't be me.

Harlem 1964

faces on the concrete
and hands pressed in the walls.
sky fills up with angels
and the clouds start to fall
this whole world is cold and dark.
and night is growing numb.
and we rode through streets of harlem
and we screamed at all the children
"i am here and i'm alive and i am found."
I am found.
harlem 1964
streets run with blood
and i'm hiding under the covers
at night in your bedroom
with the lights out
no one's around

when you were everything i needed you to be
you threw it all away just to be free.
growing old is hard and i'm doubting you can save
even gods sometime can lose their way.
I'm sorry for the heartache
I'm sorry for the pain
I'm sorry you're 25 again.
i know the love you get is about the love that you give
and the love that you give is small
i know the love you get is about the love that you give
so why won't you give it all.

sun. sun. sun. won't you bite your tongue.
tell me all the things that make you come undone
i can find a way to make this all okay
i can find a way to make this all go away
if you trust trust trust in what i have to say
if you must must must know about everything
i can find a way to black out that sun
i can find a way to bring my love to everyone
all this world needs all this world needs
all this world needs all this world needs
all this world needs all this world needs
all this world needs all this world needs
all this world needs right now is love
all i need right now is to find my soul in myself

Rainy Vacation
02:41
|

|
walking through these streets at night
rain falls on mountains.
tell me that you'll walk away
i wish you would stay.
i'm wishing through the afternoon
wondering why the world stops
you can say what you can say
but you can't stop my heart
i don't know what i can't do
i would never run from you.
you can't tell from where you are
i'll never be far
don't want to hear the things you say
counting down the seconds to the 5th of may
never got to have a taste of home
just leave me alone
don't want to hear the things you say
don't want to ruin your holiday
let the rains fall on down
and don't let us drown
somebody take me home
anybody take me home
tell me if i'm wondering am wondering why
am i really right here or am wasting my time
rains fall down on everyone
