Porchwood Creaking
05:42
|

Arms wide open, blue skies broken
Torn but spoken for
Forest fire, blowing by you
Burns your thoughts, as it turns you
Inside out
Cold and sore
As the colors drain
You ache, and you bend
And you sway
But you hold your head up
Fists are tired, eyes are closing
Dead grass groaning
Beneath, your feet
Raw and black
As the distance grows
Beyond the trees
There's a twist in the road, that spins you
Inside out, steady now
In your darkest hour
You ache, and you bend
And you sway
But you hold your head up
Porch wood creaking
Chair unstable
The pale light sparkles, endlessly
For you
And all the while
You crave, and you lose
And you fade
But you lift your head
As you smoke, and you crawl
And you ache
But you still hold your head up

Take The Wheel

I saw the letter on the table that you wrote
I saw the letter on the table that you wrote
It said you loved me but you never could let it show
I saw your ghost right by the window the other day
I saw your ghost right by the window just the other day
You said you loved me but you let it slip away
Oh, I think you ought to take the wheel
I bet that's something that
You'd have never thought I'd feel
Oh, think you ought to take the wheel
I saw the people on the sidewalk looking at me
Why are all the people on the sidewalk looking at me?
Was it something that I said?
They were all there to help me get back on my feet
Oh, I think you ought to take the wheel
Was it something that
You would never thought I'd feel
Oh, think you ought to take the wheel
I saw the book you wrote the words you never wanted to speak
I felt the wind blow all the pages in between
But it was a joke, only pictures of me
Well I hope you don't forgive everything you've seen
Oh, I think you ought to take the wheel
Was it something that
You would never thought I'd feel
Oh, think you ought to take the wheel right now
Oh, think you ought to take the wheel

Different Man
03:25

Old man living on Avenue C
He walks in and he looks right at me
How does it feel, how does it feel to be old?
He said you do what you do but you do it again
Til you feel what you feel and then you let it begin
How do you know, how will you know if you don't
Get out and let things go
And when you see me again
I'll be a different man
Old man come down from your tree
Tell me again what you think I don't see
How does it feel, how does it feel he says
You outta let things go
So when you see me again
I'll be a different man
I'll be a different man
You'll be waiting for some time
If all you need's a sign
Old man clutching your best mystique
All washed up with mud on your feet
How does it feel, how does it feel to be old?
He said you do what you do but you do it again
Til you feel what you feel and then you let it begin
So ride to the coast, ride to the coast and you'll know
You outta let things go
And when you see me again, you'll be a different man
I'll be a different man
I'll be a different man
I'll be a different man

Shipwreck
04:43
|

You want to plant a garden
You want to let the sun
No room for conversation
I've been a poor listener
You've been patiently cool
Now you're getting lonely too
Are we too far gone?
Cause my thoughts are worn down
There's a sea of fools in love
And I don't want to drag you down
Bury all that weight
Before we sail our shipwreck
You want to start a fire
We're getting cold and tired
As the roses start to bloom
I want a family
I know that sounds crazy
Or am I getting lonely too?
Are we too far gone?
Cause my thoughts are worn broken
There's a sea of fools in love
And I don't want to drag you down
Bury all that weight
Before we sail our shipwreck
It's hardly a shame
We are not to blame
If there's a story to tell
We can see it on the shelf
You want to start a garden
You want to let the stars in
You want to watch it grow
Are we too far gone?
Cause my thoughts are worn down
There's a sea of fools in love
And I don't want to drag you down
Bury all that weight
Before we sail our shipwreck

Strangers
04:12

Don't let me drag you down
Strap yourself in, and take a bow
The sinners and saints they surround us
So I needed you, but we're
Mostly just strangers
Mostly just strangers
Mostly we're strangers now
Don't let me follow you out
The shoreline will lead you aground
You let my heart under your skin
But when I needed something more, we were
Mostly just strangers
Mostly just strangers
Mostly we're strangers now
Bridge
Better I go, now that I've died with a heart of gold
I'm just a story you tell, but you didn't arrive
until I fell at your bones
But now I'm finally here, and there isn't a soul
Just a rolling train
Don't let me drag you down
Don't let me creep this one out
You're gonna watch as I drown
And there is hardly the sound, now we're
Mostly just strangers
Mostly just strangers
Mostly we're strangers now
Better I go, now that I've died with a heart of gold
I'm just a story you tell, not a name or a home
Like a rolling train
A rolling train

Side by Side
04:26
|

|
Angel's hands, on this dusty land
Come to tear your heart out again
The sun will break, one of these days
Should I pretend not to sleep
Cause I'm a foolish man
The highway, turned it's gaze
Winding from the shore
There's a sound, from this wintry town
So gather up all your strength
Cause I'm a foolish man
I'm a fool
These are the days
Where we need to stand
Side by side, and hand in hand
Cause I'm a foolish man
Cause I'm a foolish man
I'm a fool
These are the days
Where we need to stand
Side by side, and hand in hand

Like a Ghost
04:00

|
Don't give up
Love will take a step back into view
So don't hang up your lonesome shoes
Just catch your breath, and embrace your wounds
Don't give up
There's a voice in those silver leaves
A familiar song, a stolen tune
A voice you hear, and a voice you knew
The sun will come and bring you back
a promise that you thought had passed
You said "Guide me through this wicked storm"
And like a ghost - I will carry you home
Don't give up
Love will take a step back into view
Like a curtain call, for the wandering few
A voiceless song , but a voice you knew
The sun will come and bring you back
a promise that you thought had passed
You said "Guide me through this wicked storm"
And like a ghost - I will carry you home
You said "Guide me through this wicked storm"
Like a ghost - I will carry you home

Hard Road to Follow
03:25
|

|
YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY
AND IT'S A LONG WAY BACK DOWN
YOU TOOK A HARD ROAD TO FOLLOW
BUT YOU STUCK AROUND
AND YOU STOOD STRONG
AND YOU FELL IN LOVE
YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY
AND IT'S A LOMG WAY TO FALL
BUT YOU'VE GOT A STEADY DISPOSITION
BUT YOU STUCK AROUND
AND YOU STOOD STRONG
AND YOU FELL IN LOVE
YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY
AND IT'S A LONG WAY BACK DOWN
BUT YOUR FAITH JUST AINT FOR THE LIVING
AND YOU STOOD YOUR GROUND
AND YOU HELD STRONG
AND YOU FELL IN LOVE
BUT YOU STUCK AROUND
AND YOU STOOD STRONG
AND YOU FELL IN LOVE
FACED WITH THE PAIN
YOU STOOD STRONG
AND YOU FELL IN LOVE

My head is soft and hazy
Confidence is gone
My fingers they've betrayed me
They have all become one
With my black heart
In a sea of green
Could you prescribe it all away?
My fins are tired and weighty
Could carry me afar
But my world is closed and cloudy
Where are all the stars?
With my black heart
In a sea of green
Could you prescribe it all away?
Those eyes are large and daunting
Magnified and bold
These walls, they may contain me
But reach inside and let go
Of my black heart
In a sea of green
Will you prescribe it all
My black heart
In this sea of green
Will you prescribe this all away?
