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

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

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
