I see that the world is upside-down
Seems that my pockets
Were filled up with gold
And now the clouds
Well they’ve covered over

And the wind is blowing cold
Well I don’t need anybody
Because I learned, I learned to be alone
Well I said anywhere, anywhere I lay my head

Well I open my eyes
I was blind as can be
When you give a man luck he must fall in the sea
And she wants you
To steal and get caught
For she loves you for all that you are not

She’s not gonna choose you
For standing so tall go on and take a swig
Of that poison and like it
And don’t ask
For silverware, don’t ask for nothing
Go on and put your ear
To the ground
You know you will be hearing that sound

There’s a crooked street in Houston town,
It’s a well born path I’ve traveled down
Now there’s ruin in my name, I wish I never got off the train,
I wished I’d listened to the words you said.

ever again.

Once I held you in my arms, I was sure
But I took that silent stare through the guilded door
The desire to have much more, all the glitter and the roar,
I know this is where the sidewalk ends

When I was young I thought only of getting out
I said goodbye to my street, goodbye to my house
Give a man gin, give a man cards, give an inch he takes a yard,
And I rue the day that I stepped off this train

Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me

Come closer don’t be shy
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise, think of me as a train goes by

Stand in the shade of me
Things are now made of me
The weather vane will say
It smells like rain today

I’ll drink you under the table
Be red nose go for walks
The old haunts what I wants is red beans and rice
And wear the dress I like so well
Meet me at the old saloon make sure there’s a Dixie moon

I can see it in my dreams
Arm in arm down Burgundy
A bottle and my friends and me
New Orleans I’ll be there

One of these mornings
You’re going to rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky

But till that morning
There’s a’nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

Summertime, and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high

start out early in the mornin
they get up way before the sun
with flowin lights the city bustles
it truly grins for everyone

Slowly, you stroll over where I sit,
you strain crystals but now im one within.
Sweetheart, lover, words you use for me,
I yearn to get you forever, to get you into me

Where you thinkin’ that you gotta run to now
With the beating of
a tiny heart?
Hang on to the things
that you’re supposed to say
Billions of stars that open to your fate

Let’s go on pretending that the light
is neverending -
we still have the summers
to be good to one another

So we’ll work until the night is quite
what once all our dreams were like;
doing all the housework, returning all the
schoolbooks, for good

Seven figures leap the hungry maws
The beast, he comes to you
He’s a hunter
for a lonely heart
In the season of the sun

open the gate cause you’re already late,
at the end of the lane, is a glass of
lemona-ade, keep or the path when
you hear the laugh, in the white of her
Palm is your heart!

April comes for one more May
The floor is swept, the clothes are put away

Been a fool for weeks
Cause my heart stands for nothing
And your soul’s too weak
Got away
It’s been around for days
Goes far if you want it
It needs to be kept
But then you
You come around

How I want you to know,
How far west we will go.
Hand in hand they’re in love,
Our loyal days in the snow.

We were sleeping till
You came along
With your tiny heart
You let us in the wooden house
To share in all the wealth

The heart is a stone
and this is a stone bed we throw
Put your hand on the stone
It’s the stone of a home you know
They say we will go far, but they don’t know how far we’ll go
With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon

I was sitting on a rock, just
waiting for a key
to sleep inside the house
of old serenity

In that harbor of a room
you’ll find your anchor soon
in the parting of our ways
may it never happen
any way

from our lives
the land disappears
all that is left is a heart made of tears
from her smile the golden tooth is worn
child you’re only hope has flown
hold on to this house
all I have left is the only place I’ve been

So I climbed onto your altar
begged, please don’t let me falter,
we’ll put our oaths at stake
in a heaven that all icicles make.

I’d like to be someone
you could finally learn to
breathe
at our sides
let’s take the time
to mend these smiles
to get them
could make it home
love is surprises
live our own lives

Please, be my baby, don’t mean
maybe or not, look out the
window, there’s a bright
yellow cat.

They say we can throw far but they don’t know how far we throw
With our legs on the edge, and our feet on the horizon
The heart is a stone, and this is a stone bed we throw
They say we will go far, but they don’t know how far we’ll go

Come over to my house
I’ll pour some tea for us
one sugar or two
Your hand is right in front of me,
your finger fragilely, holy on
my side

In our beds we’re the lucky ones
filled with the sun
In our beds we’re the lucky ones
fill us with the sun

Once when I saw her there
White light she stood so still
Warming her eyes to the sea
Hardly her way to be free

Long days of wanting you here
living in fear
shedding a tear for you

Long nights of pasty face tunes
echo in rooms
filling with gloom for me

It can be gone, we still are here
It took so long, can’t say we saw it all
Wings parallel, we stood so long we fell
Right here

Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall.
The colors are bright, bright as ever.
Red is strong.
Blue is true.

come to me
and I’ll tell you what’s wrong
she said, “I’ll wait for you. I’ll wait for…

Deep inside the ever spinning
Tell me does it feel
It’s no good unless it’s real
Insides burning
Wild eye turning
Tin wheel running from it

I chose it
you’re ringing the only wedding bell
and we’re swimming the seas we know so well

You stay swiming in the lake
We come across a snake
It is real and then its fake
Feel its heartbeat
Feel what you heed
For so fast it feels too late

Down the hill I’d hoped that I’d find
Something I could rest my hands on
In the distance sun is setting
Feel I’m jumping over hedges

How I want Olive (our love) to know
That inside me she will always grow
In all colors and sizes
You will always remain

Beneath along the spinning wheel
Collecting silver coils
It gathers heat without you
Whether or not you turn from it
It’s a quick turn
To let it figure out

All I wanted to see
Is that I am better
All I want to believe is that I am better
Round and round
All I wanted to see
Is that I am better
round and round

In a dark winter Tokyo
In the Majong waters he wades
Seven pasts thrumming through his heads
Though he comes to the water ways

Gather medicine for heartache
So we can act a fool
It’s incomplete without you
The silver soul is running through
It’s a vision
Complete illusion

No fear of a garden, no prayer for the night
Come into our minds and you rush through our lives

I met you somewhere
in a air beneath the stairs
They sound up and they move
It finds you and they go boom

They sewed the throne with out hearts
Then he cold, stands apart
In the bland moonlight
Watch this seabird fall

Hear my cry, lover of mine
No tear in the eye or fear in my mind
The forest is thick and you don’t recognize
We parted our lips and we reached from inside

There’s nothing lovelier, girl
in all the world than making love to you

when life was once too short for all the things we’d do and the shots we’d call
and endless summer without a fall
when promises were meant to keep
and nighttime wasn’t meant for sleep

I went down south to purify my soul
I went down to south to purify my mind
Dressed in black and lavender I rode
Cause if you stand tall for each other
You will find love
And if you stand tall for one another
You will find love

the day when we all got lost on the old mans farm
just trying to get across
it was only then I knew what love was
Sunday mornings that never ended and hangovers that never mended

let it all rain down on me
it happened too soon
lay your head
down upon my shoulder

Sometimes it’s hard to see the change from where you stand
you wake up in a pool of your own selfpity
you try hard to lose whatever dignity she’s left you with
but maybe it’s time to realise that you’re stained but not weak,
calm but not sleak, she’s out of your league

i’ll always be by your side
holding you close
holding you tight
i’ll always be by you’re side

Tear us in different ways but leave a thread throughout the maze
in case I need to find my way back home
all these decisions make for people living without faith
fumbling in the dark nowhere to roam

feeling of no control
empty heart, mind, bottle & soul
drive a man to think he’s on his own
fortunate ones are told, live happily grow wise, grow old,
never let the rain soak to the bone

I’ll be needing you tomorrow and for days to come
cause I’m no daydreamer
but I’ll need a place to go if memory fails me & let you slip away

This life that sometimes feels like a big joke
where death was the final punchline that everybody waited for
But I’m not ready yet
I have a new vigour
And I intend to see this thing through to the end, my friend

cecilia, you didn`t wanna give your heart away
you tear apart with angel eyes like bluebells
with trembling hearts, you leave your empty shells

it seems I have a weakness I didn’t know about, till the day it rained
and it seems my weakness has been bulging, has been forcing its way
it seems I have a weakness I didn’t know about, till the day it rained
and it seems my weakness will become my final stage

We went to bed and turned the stereo on low
Heard the timer creek and windows rattle gently
Although we smiled, there were no words left to say
A soothing draft was all I had for company

sing out, the world is in your voice
it might not be far from the truth
you might not make it, you know how hard it is
but oh how you’ll make the world shine
with just one song at a time

it seems I had a secret I didn’t know about, till the day it poured
and it seems my secret has been bulging, has been forcing its way
it seems I had a secret I didn’t know about, till the day it poured
and it seems my secret will become my final stage

a thousand miles
lie in your trail
in passing time
you will prevail

life takes a different turn, it may feel like your average crash & burn
cause shit aint always how you planned it, how you planned to break on trough
and it aint always how you’d live your life if you could live your life again

I travelled too far
to reach for the golden shrine, the evening star
but no matter where you are
you long for mama’s food and daddy’s car
home is how the word is spelt
and belonging is the feeling felt

no matter where you go you’ll always be a part
a thousand miles and I’m home
take me back rolling
I have friends to see
maybe I’m old
life here is gold
