Arthritis Wedding Ring
04:00
|
|
||
a face of poverty
40 year poverty
wrapped it up in the wrinkles
still it shines
Arthritis wedding ring
80 year story sings
wrapped it up in the wrinkles
still it shines
all grace and dignity
memories will smother me
wrapped it up in your children
for the long journey home

The Books Are Piling Up
04:08
|

this is all that matters
the books are piling up
i should have read your message
instead i fell asleep
something in the way
your light is changing
something in the way
your light is changing
this is all that matters
the books are piling up
i should have made a reason
even just a lie
something in your light is changing
something in your light that's changing
this all seems the same
but it ain't the same
we are moving on
we are moving on
there's a lighter day
there's lighter load
for i carried on
yes i carried on
this is all that matters
the books are piling up .

Most Fragile I Am
03:44
|
|
||
sometimes
you're the most beautiful trigger
take the step away
take the breath away
sometimes you're the most fragile i am
only looking in
catch a glimpse of it
sometimes , you're the most beautiful trigger
but you're miles from home
and the lights have changed
it's the tearing apart
it's the leaving unsaid

Cities
04:00
|
|
||
a city
in it's evening gown
the light is understanding
i'll take it , as it comes around
a city
in it's evening gown
i watch it
as it falls apart
a hundred thousand secrets
some are shared , some are kept
a weight it is carried
i should have said it
lord know's i meant to
but in a moment
it's lost in the city
let's get in the car
travel
in the rear view
lights
lives

here we are the 2 of us
i love you
here we stay the 2 of us
love will too
mend me when i'm broken
close me when my hearts ajar
guide me when the lights are gone
now the kids have feathered , and flown
open highways , we're alone
hold me , till my spirit wains
i return it , just the same
you're my Patsy Cline
i'm your wichita line

Station Depart
05:54
|
|
||
i watched you
a window reflection
you love her
and you always will
and the holding of hands
can mean so much more
than the holding of hands
i watched you a window reflection
and the stations , like years rolling by
but the life , is still in her eyes
and a kiss on the cheek
can mean so musch more
than a kiss on the cheek
i watched you
a window reflection
at the station depart
what remains is the heart
and it forever will
and it forever matters

Little Triumphs
04:28
|
|
||
to watch it at the time
it meant nothing more
to know it over time
a living photograph
back when it was hidden
now becomes the truth
all you ever wanted
just a little more
we are four , we are your little triumphs
we are four , we are your little triumphs
little triggers send it back
to the now , before and after
for everything you wanted
for everything you tried
i'm holding to the love of it
to the grace you gave us all
back when it was hidden
the truth becomes us all
we are four , we are your little triumphs
we are four , we are your little triumphs

The Bees
03:29
|
|
||
we , used to call it the weather
summer , searching for bees
in a jam jar daze
honeysuckle and a nail
king for a day
we used to call it the weather
i'll meet you where i said i would
no changing plans just holding hands
king & queen of it all
we used to call it the weather
the walk home , never seemed long
i'll miss us she said , i'll miss us as well
the king & queen of the streets
take to a dance hall
roll me round the dance floor

Snowest Man
03:43
|
|
||
flicking through the final pages
of the standing skin you're in
dusting off the webs of spiders
lifting stones to let it loose
i am the never found
i am always around
long and lonely are the days
i prefer to keep that way
living in the silent swells
living out the counted minutes
i am the never found
i am always around

Threads
03:42
|
|
||
standing in the middle of
the last time
lifting off the breezeblocks
from the bones
letting the wings fly
for the last time
letting something beautiful
fly home
waiting for the second heart , arriving
and the second beating kicking in
try to hold the maps
the onward journey
a second skin
taking over
these are not end of days
they are just beautiful
we are the threads you laid it has been beautiful
