I've been waiting, pacing along the halls ever since you left here
I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear I can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me Swallowing glass just to stay pure All the birds are heading down south but you're staying up north you say I've got jackets blankets and sheets, its going to be a cold december It could be warm you see, a statue next to me Swimming away from the ice and snow Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldn't see I couldn't see If only time could slow down maybe I could come up It's such a cold december It's such a cold december It's so cold I can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me Swallowing glass just to stay pure Summers come and summer has gone Your christmas cards can't comfort me You've found new friends and tied all the ends It's freezing in the loneliest winter It could be warm you see, a statue next to me Swimming away from the ice and snow Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldnt see I couldnt see If only time could slow down, then maybe I could come up It's such a cold december It's such a cold december It's so cold |

Astair your glare is killing me
Astair in skies of blue The Signs you wear are making me So confused But the mountains and the trees Are they just what you need Or are they less than what you'd expect to see And if you're leaving well come Give me reason why i let you down Before you turn around now now Before you turn around Astair you're there and I'm still here I swear i'm so confused The signs you wear are making me Feel like i'm the one to lose But the canyons and the seas Are they just what you need Or are they less than what you'd expect to see And if you're leaving well come Give me reasong why i let you down Before you turn around now, now Before you turn around But the mountains and the trees Are they what you perceive Or are they less than what You'd expect to see And if you're leaving well come Give me reasin why i let you down Before you turn around now, now Before you turn around |

I'm waiting in the pines
I'm waiting in the forest Pilon at my side The treasure lies before us And so we started walking We knew they couldn't harm us And how the wind is crying When misty morning dawn breaks We'll walk back to the flats With gallons in our hands We're walking in the fields We're working on the farms We do just like our fathers How can they take that from us? And so we started driving We had no choice to leave this The bowl was left behind us For Hooverville's before us Three hundred thousand Bodies who can't rest Sweet Thursday is calling me back up to Monterey Up to Monterey So I started driving And left my home behind me The row there kept reminding Of pages in your writing Sweet Thursday is calling me back up to Monterey Up to Monterey |

Sunshine
I'd really like to tell you Oh my sunshine Even though your skies are blue You're drying up my bed How can I get any rest now? Sha la la la la la la la Someday You will get the best of me Oh someday Probably when I'm old and grey I'm lying in my bed And I will soon be put to rest now Sha la la la la la la la Sunshine I'd really like to tell you Oh my sunshine Even though your skies are blue You're drying up my bed How can I get any rest now?

With an upwind facing starboard
I was unsure of where to go The salt burns my skin And your eyes were cold as the ocean This is our day today Won't you find the way back to these arms And we're bound for where we started With a down wind course through the harbor At sunset I was sorry That this was our day today This is our day today Why can't you find the way Won't you find the way back to these arms Are we bound for where we started 'Cause the start is where we're bound to end up The start is where we're bound And we're bound to end up where the start's at And when twilight turned darkness I was unsure of where to go The salt burns my skin And your eyes were cold as the ocean This is our day today Can you find the way back to these arms This is our day today Won't you find the way back to these arms |

You gave me your word, then you took your word back
Where once I had faith now all I see is black Black seeing black I gave you up rather than giving in Where once there was virtue, it's fallen to sin Black seeing black You gave me your word Then you flew like a bird Never looking back You can run, you can try But you won't get away this time You played me for a fool, in your heart you had deceit I made you up inside my mind, when finally you I meet You had turned black turning black I never could have seen how you'd shoot that 44 You hit me right below the shoulder, I fell to the floor I'm on my back, on my back You shot me with your gun Then you run, run, run, run Never looking back You can run into the street My tire tracks you will soon meet And if you run into the woods I'll chop you down just like a tree I rolled into town from years spent in my sleep The word that the people held was that your price is cheap Your price is cheap, price is cheap The house with the red light on and fancy decor You built your new life hastily so now I find you poor I find you poor, find you poor The sheriff found you out There is guaranteed no doubt You ain't coming back We watched you catch a railroad car That didn't get you very far And when you finally met your match We watched you kiss the railroad tracks Black seeing black |

My sweet rose
Ss the two of us grow I want you to know that nothing's quite as bad As it seems when you're so sad So remember my rose, remember my rose My sweet rose I'd like to say I'd like to say no one always gets their way And no one always thinks the same My rose, remember my rose When the seasons change And the sky turns grey When the leaves turn brown I'll be around My sweet rose As the two of us change I want you to know that nothing stays the same But you and I, we will remain My rose, remember my rose When the seasons change And the sky turns grey When the leaves turn brown I'll be around I want you to know that nothing stays the same But you and I, we will remain My rose, remember my rose |

Rats they run across the field, crows rest in the tree
Barking madly at each other Standing from the rooftop i scream "Won't you bark for me?" As you turn your back and fly away Caught on the fence you've left behind Dive into an empty pool, I've tried Oh I've tried Oh I tried writing with nothing in return When the wind freed me from the roots that tied me down Now I need them back for comforting Carvings that we left in branches scarred up on this tree Lingering are thoughts you left with me Calling the phone that you ignore Slowly walking backwards from your door Oh I've tried Now we are done fighting, it's time that you return Candle lit small light inside your window that I see Hoping that the light still shines for me Standing on the curbside I scream "Please come back!" As you turn your back and fly away Groundhogs digging with their claws Burying their loves with dirty paws Oh I've tried There's no igniting, my head is in the dirt |

I would shine just like a million suns if you'd just love me baby
I'll be in your life again so baby, baby just say maybe Now here I come To dance around the sun I've been oh so blue Stuck behind the moon Now let me in Back where we begin And let me hold you like the way I used to do All the stars point me to you and lately they just drive me crazy A universe can be so cruel so baby, baby be my lady Now here I come To dance around the sun I've been oh so blue Stuck behind the moon Now let me in Back where we begin And let me hold you like the way I used to do I would shine just like a million suns if you'd just love me baby I'll be in your life again so baby, baby just say maybe Now here I come To dance around the sun I've been oh so blue Stuck behind the moon Now let me in Back where we begin And let me hold you like the way Now let me hold you like the way... Now let me hold you like the way... Now let me hold you like the way... I used to do I used to do I used to do I used to do |

Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head
Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid So please forgive the words I use, my mind it tends to run Away with the small ideas, I know I'm not the only one So dear, oh dear My head it tends to stray away sometimes I cant see clear Oh dear, oh dear In spite of all the things I said, I always want you near Sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours Sometimes I'm not that sure But anytime you look at me Your thoughts I cant ignore The second hand would pass us by Should one of us had blinked But in a minute realize that true love always waits My dear, oh dear My head it tends to stray away, sometimes I cant see clear Oh dear, oh dear In spite of all the things I said, I always want you near Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid So please forgive the words I use my mind it tends to run Away with the small ideas I know I'm not the only one |

Float down stream, rivers of dreams
Float down stream, catch your wings Heavens high, so you fly Catch your dreams in the sky But the glaciers have frozen your feet I can't wait for eternity And so you watched me wash away But maybe we'll catch up someday Maybe well catch up someday Sun sinks out of view Stars they shine changing hue But bright lights have blinded your sights They cant adjust when day turns to night And so you watched me wash away But maybe well catch up someday The castles we built were so tall They only left us further to fall And still I see them far away But maybe we'll come back someday Maybe we'll come back someday Float down stream, rivers of dreams Float down stream, catch your wings The castles we built were so tall They only left us further to fall And still I see them far away Maybe well come back someday The castles we built were so tall They only left us further to fall And still I see them far away As I watch them wash away Wash away... Wash away... Wash away... Wash away... |
