Thinking Of You
03:41

In times like these a girl can need some company
Being stuck insides no fun when you’re alone
But I’ve been finding ways
To spend these dreary days
And I think you ought to know…
I’m painting portraits of people I’ve never met
Baking and sewing smoking cigarettes
Anything to pass the time
To make these lonesome days go by
I've tried poems and playbills
Danced like a loon
Memorized all the lines to “In The Golden Afternoon”
Yet when all these things fade away in the gloom
I never tire thinking of you
I've tried palm reading and solitaire
I even wrote this score
All I want my darling
Is someone to play it for
Till then I’ll pass my days dreaming away
Of the moment I finally see your face
The one the world could never hold a candle to
No I never tire thinking of you
I've tried palm reading and solitaire
I even wrote this score
All I want my darling
Is someone to play it for
Till then I’ll pass my days dreaming away
Of the moment I finally see your face
The one the world could never hold a candle to
No I never tire thinking of you
Never tire thinking of you

Take Your Time
03:52
|

No need to check the clock
It stopped long ago
When your eyes met mine
The world seemed cast in gold
Why let this moment die?
Now we’re face to face
Your hand on my hip
Moving through the night to heaven’s end
And though the stars above will soon be fading dear
I think I’d like
For you
To take your time
No need to rush away
From my side
Let this moment stay
A while
A while
People move to fast today
Like ants in a line
Never pausing to indulge
Forever running that same race
You and I let's break the mold
Now we’re hand in hand
Your taste on my lips
Praying that the night will never end
And though the stars above now are fading dear
I think I’d like
For you
To take your time
No need to rush away
From my side
Let this moment stay
A while
A while

Ashes
04:34
|
|||
Lost the carrot
Burnt the stick
Choking on the air that I’m breathing
When reward ain’t worth the risk
It rocks every fiber of your being
Wonder what I could say
To make you stay a little longer
Cause oh
Those flames are getting stronger
Hold on my love
Morning will come
And when the shadows come creeping in
Who's gonna hold you fast?
To dream of a world where the many rise to meet the few
And from the ashes
Start anew
Monsters and magistrates
Striking with deadly precision
But pretty soon it will be too late
Cause we’ve got power and a vision
Hold on my love
Morning will come
And when the shadows come creeping in
Who's gonna hold you fast?
To dream of a world where the many rise to meet the few
And from the ashes
Start anew
Let me rise
With you

Lost In Love
04:52
|
|||
Sometime in your eyes all the color of the sky
Bleed out and drown me in the glow
A glow that burns so very bright
And is destined to take my half a life
And make
And make it whole
Tell me how do I face a love
One that I’m not worthy of
Teach me to fly
With these broken wings of mine
Oh and higher and higher we’ll climb
Leaving this whole world behind
Just the moon
The stars
My love and I
For once my mind
Free from the weight of this life
Cries out to have you in my arms
These arms ready to hold
All our stories and struggles untold
A deep dive into waters never known
Tell me how do I face a love
One that I’m not worthy of
Teach me to fly
With these broken wings of mine
Oh and higher and higher we’ll climb
Leaving this whole world behind
Just the moon
The stars
My love
And oh can it be so
It’s been so long since I just let go
And oh here I stand
Lost in love
Heart in hand
And someday youth will fade
And they’ll find us old and grey
Tucked away in this paradise we’ve made
And those eyes the ones that saved my life
Will still be shining like an autumn sky
How I pray that glow will never fade
Tell me how do I face a love
One that I’m not worthy of
Teach me to fly
With these broken wings of mine
Oh and higher and higher we’ll climb
Leaving this whole world behind
Just the moon
The stars
My love and I

Workers Lullaby
03:54
|
|||
The moons rising high in the sky
The nightingales are opening their eyes
Rest your head
On that soft feather bed
The time for work is done
Been breaking your back all day
In that blistering sun
Leave it at the door
Washed away to distant shores
Feel the calm of sleep’s embrace
Feel the lines relax in your face
And dream
Of the world you wish to see
In the morning you’ll rise anew
With rested hands to guide you through
To do what’s asked of you
All the while remaining true
So sleep in peace
My drifter soon
Surrender to that purple dew
Rest your soul
It’s the only way to keep whole
