I fell apart yesterday,
just before I caught your smilin' face
and I was just a little late
I knew that I might have to wait for you
you bring me back
I'm stompin' like a hurricane
I don't know when I'll be back again
It's never been like this before
now I know that when it rains it pours
I'm feelin' like my world's a flame
the light is gone but the heat remains
You bring me back
Hold me, but know I don't want to be held,
hold me, you're the only one I tell
You bring me back
I read a book that promised me
fresh new eyes that I might see

Cold Desire
03:54
|

You think that you’re gonna drop, you feel like you’ve gotta stop
It’s cold desire
You wanna change your will, your heart beats but you’re still
It’s cold desire
From a flame to a flower It’s cold desire
You feelin’ such a rush, the hand’s gone from the touch
It’s cold desire
It’s drums and it’s heat and the sun, you can’t sleep when it’s warm
But it’s cold desire
It’s cold desire, when your mind’s made up, but your heart keeps beatin’
It’s cold desire, when you got what you want but you keep on needin’

Heat Wave

Summer, it’s like Summer
Though it’s winter I feel Summer all the time
When you’re near
Awful, I feel awful
The pain is gone, but the bandages remain
They’ll fall off in the lake
It’s a cryin’ shame, the mess we made
I wouldn’t blame, oh no
Heat wave, you rode a heat wave
Though it’s snowing now a heat wave brought you here
Then you disappeared.

Caught myself at the River's edge
I'm never goin' back to that place again
no more!
Never goin' back no more!
You can count on me to count me out for sure!
I told you once, I told you twice,
I'm never goin' back, never mind how mice
no more!
Never goin' back no more!
You can count on me to count me out for sure!
And I'm never goin' back no more!
Dirty feet, muddy toes,
dirty all over, everybody knows no more
I'm never goin' back no more!
I whisper it soft, holler out loud,
I'm tellin' everybody in the whole, wide world no more!
I'm never goin' back no more!
Moses crossed a river,
he put out his hand,
and you might look like water,
you're just dry land
I put away my tackle, threw out my line,
got me some shorts and sunshine, yeah!
I never see shores, not even a dock,
I keep my water inside a rock for sure!
I'm never goin' back no more!
You can count on me to count me out for sure
and I'm never goin' back no more!

Weight
04:52

Put X's on my eyelids
put a hook through my nose
you say I'm just excited
I know I'm toast.
The pain is all around me
I'm buried alive
the things you think when drowning
I've changed my mind
One hand holds a feather and the other a weight
and they land at the same time, but in different ways
you're gonna hold on
One hand holds a feather and the other a weight
and they land at the same time, but in different ways
you better let go

Holy Road
05:34
|

I took a walk just yesterday
down the bridge of time
I got swallowed up in memories
I didn't know were mine
and it felt like my whole childhood
was right before my eyes
it was my whole ancestral line
between the river and the skies
Oh Holy Road!
I feel you at my side
Oh, silver shine!
It's time I took that ride
Well, you shook a stick and shuffled feet
and made a circle in the sand
and you brought us something we could eat
and you put it in my hand
it was the time when we were swallowed by
the forest and the stones
we took the respiratory desert
and we put it in our bones
It was the wind that took my sails
when my business had run dry
it took the airport in the clouds
to make this old airplane fly
it was disease that fueled the river
where my body took a dive
it was the bees that gave me honey
and they brought me back to life
You were dressed in all the wonder
of the garden that we left
and our skin became the green of grass
of fields and hills we wrecked
and it might take up our whole lifetime
to fix what we left out
but it's a lifetime that's worth living
now that we've got things to live about
Your Reaching Hand!
Your Shakin' Tree!
The House Where We Grew Up!
The Legs Below Our Knees!
The Heart That Beats The Time!
The Mountains That Were Born!
That Fabric of Our Mind!
The Glory of the Poor!
The Light Within the Sun!
The Mystery of Moon!
The Work That Must be Done!
Your Empty Tomb!

Every Day

Every day, things are getting’ better
Every way, I feel it more than ever
This I know is true
I see it in you
All my pain, it’s getting’ lighter
All my days, it seems they’re getting’ brighter
This I know is true,
I see it in you
All my love, it’s getting’ stronger
I wanna love just a little bit longer
It’s all I wanna do,
And get a little closer, too,
This I know is true,
I see it in you
Pain, go far away now, push that pain away now

Trickle
04:07
|

There's a trickle in my bloodstream
it's where my mind will wander when it's wont
There's a crack in every mountain
and beds of water sleep to dream and dry
There's a circle turning 'round me
it's softening the edges that I keep
|

You’ve got a way about you
And I think that it’s hidden in your eyes
You’ve got a way about you
Like the stars tucked into the sky
This might be the last I see you
You’ve got a way about you
And I feel like it’s hiding in your smile,
You’ve got a way about you
And it’s making all this trouble worthwhile
If I’m wrong, I’m not gonna stay
If I’m wrong, I’m leavin’ today
That’s a road that I know and I won’t go
You’ve got a way about you
And it just might be hiding in your heart
You’ve got a way about you
But it’s keeping us apart
This I know, and it hurts
The way your actions match your words
You’ve got a way about you
And it’s gotten under my skin
You’ve got a way about you
But it’s getting pretty thin
You never wanna see me again
I never wanna feel the same
I never wanna feel this way

In The End
04:36
|
|||
When all is said and all is done
You’ll see I’m the only one
The light from which we hid
Gave all the pain we’ll live
From now on
There’s a lie that can’t be told
And I’ll learn it when I’m old
If I can stop the break
And if it’s not too late
For me to change
We’re all in love, or we’re alone
100 years is enough to find out
100 years is enough
In the end, when it’s just us
We’ll throw out all our stuff
See what we’re both made of
We’ll take apart our blood
In search of love
All the stars are made to shine
and when we’re dark they’re kind
they twinkle and they glow
with all the things they know
and we’ll be fine
We’re all in love, or we’re alone
100 years is enough to find out
100 years is enough
