Home
04:04
|

Home again, I lay my sleepy head
On the dreams you gave to me my friend, last night
When I fall, into the night I fall
And the stars drift down like a dress hanging around
Home again, safe in your sweet bed
And the waves rock our little wooden ship to sleep
yes the waves rock our little wooden boat to sleep
Sleep
Sleep
Sleep
Sleep

Animals Eat the Sky
03:15
|
|||
The sky will wait
and the mountain will wait
for the sea to come
for the sea to swallow up
animals eat the sky
and their stomaches all turn blue
shadows choose their colors
and the sea brings me to you
the sea brings me to you
And the diamond nets set out
on the ocean waves blue-green
My heart has set out
to catch a love serene
to catch a love serene

Milk Thistle

Here's my name, windtorn and forgotten,
I soak this rain, through thistles and cotton,
I haul this pain all the way to the bottom, oh
And when I'm down, my soul sodden
This leaden crown and a mind besotted
beside myself like a twin gone rotten, oh
Raise up your seashells and fill them with teardrops
and send all the saltwater back to the sea
let the water hold you, swallow unhollow
your heart is adrift and your ghosts all set free
Haul me in, I'm a treasure gone feral
My pockets weighed down, full of pearls and perils
My gowns soaked through, all the way to the marrow, oh
Raise up your bright skulls, they fill up with white gulls
Who drink all our tears up and eat all our fears up
Who take flight and let go of stories that grow old
And now that this tale's told turn back into Sea

Seven Horses
06:48
|
|||
Seven horses, side by side, black and white
Velvet Horses take me home, let me ride
Digging hooves in earth so dark, so black
Dowsing diamonds for their bride, shining back
And I know the night has come
A night so long and there's no sun
And I know the dawn will come
Again
Apaloosa, fog and stars, in his hide
Swift black hoof and frozen waters, we will ride
Into the forest, deeper now, we will go
Velvet Horses skate upriver, in the snow
And our bride she shines for us
In the sky reflects the sun
In the darkness prays for us
To fly
Seven horses in the forest, black and white
Velvet horses take me home, let me ride

Broken Roads
06:36
|
|||
We met at the crossing of two broken roads
And said, I know you, let's take us some time
In the sun, let's walk in the sun
Won't it be golden, won't it be love
For a while
And when the cloud came, shaped like the end
You said, my time's done
The road calls my name again
We walked in the sun, a minute the sun
Wasn't it golden, wasn't it love
For a while
I slept at the crossroads, in dust and in tears
I died at the crossroads, drowned in all my fears
Then I walked in the sun, alone in the sun
Down my own road, I walked on alone
For a while

Red Dust
06:26
|
|||
Sleep in the red dust, your tomorrows will be gold
Breathe in the red dust, All your troubles will unfold
A broken locket for a heart, fills the well full of sorrow
Let the white horse into the night, to bring the sun again tomorrow
Tomorrow
The red hill, torn up, the rabbit hanging upside down
And gold-dust rivers, running through this paper town
A broken locket for a heart, fills the well full of sorrow
Let the white horse into the night, to bring the sun again tomorrow
Tomorrow
The old house let go, to fall into the blue blue sky
And patterns we've sewn, they come unbound, they come untied
A broken locket for a heart, fills the well full of sorrow
Let the white horse into the night, to bring the sun again tomorrow
Tomorrow

Frozen Water
05:46
|
|||
Frozen Water,
make it through the winter
Falling, crying,
take me down that river
Rising, dying,
Lift my soul
Deliver

Brightest Storms
03:46
|
|||
Rusty leaves that fall, boats upon the wind
Our hands let down, all that came before
Let's begin
Shed the skin
Cut the anchors free, sail from these old shores
I'll send a prayer to the sky, asking for
The brightest of storms
What falls down
Will rise to the sun
The darkest of times makes possible the dawn
Walk in the meadow, walk with me
Let the sun shine on you
Let the sun's light reflect on me
