Loudly In Mind
03:18
|
|||
We're at the edge of the earth
Watching the sunset
Where the sky meets the ocean
Your dark hair is windswept, my love
Climb down the cliff
Get as close as we can
Witness the battle
Of water and land, hand in hand
Waves are all crashing
Loudly in mind
Colors are blurring
To blue over time
The wind never stops
Covers us like a blanket
Huddled together
I guess I should thank it
For keepin' us close
Keepin' us close that night
Waves are all crashing
Loudly in mind
Colors are blurring
To blue over time

Chin Up
03:04
|

Chin up, head high
I'm movin' forward
Feel that sunrise
Upon my face
No more self-doubt
My favorite four words
Goin' all out, a brand new day
From mountains highest
To valleys lowest
From nights darkest
To skies of blue
Listen closely
When your heart speaks
When it's silent
Listen, too
And I said hey
Give me your best shot, try your best
There's no way
No way I'm like the rest
But I said hey
Give me your best shot, don't be scared
When the smoke clears
I'll still be standin' there

Glass
03:33
|
|||
Your toothbrush still remains
Right where you left it last
In case you come back home
Like a heavy stone
And I am but glass
When did things have to change
From how they were before
This house creaks and groans
Oh how I bemoan
It's not you at the door
This innocence
This naivety
Misplaced reverence
What continuity
The candle melts into
A clear pool of wax
I hold the candle still
So wax doesn't spill
I am just the glass
This innocence
This naivety
Misplaced reverence
What continuity
Your toothbrush still remains
Right where you left it last
In case you come back home
Like a heavy stone
And I am but glass

Virginia
04:22
|
|||
The candles burned down
And darkness surrounds
In fickle flesh we're bound
And silence it sounds
Oh, Virginia, I'll wait for you
Cross my heart and hope to die
Oh, Virginia, I swear it's true
You're the apple of my eye
The foundation's cracked
My time has come
My bags are packed
Else we're undone
Oh, Virginia, I'll wait for you
Cross my heart and hope to die
Oh, Virginia, I swear it's true
You're the apple of my eye
So here I await
With wax and concrete
My flesh gone to waste
But my heart still beats
Oh, Virginia, I'll wait for you
Cross my heart and hope to die
Oh, Virginia, I swear it's true
You're the apple of my eye

Clementine
04:17
|
|||
We watched the sunrise up and
I filled your coffee cup
And sat back in that red rocking chair
You placed your hand in mine
My darlin' Clementine
While we breathed deep that country air
You turned and said to me
In tones so pleasantly
That you were happy as could be
The sun was shinin' bright
Blue skies with clouds of white
And you were say right next to me
Hold me still, my love
Put this wayward mind at ease
Hold me still, my love
Put this wayward heart at peace
Don't need big city lights
We got the stars at night
To guide us if we lose our way
So we can wander on
Until the dusk is dawn
Right through the night into the day
You in your flower dress
My in my Sunday best
I think that we make quite the pair
You with your hand in mine
My darlin' Clementine
While we breath deep that country air
Hold me still, my love
Put this wayward mind at ease
Hold me still, my love
Put this wayward heart at peace

By The Light Of The Moon
01:52
|
|||
And so by the light of the moon
I spoke my desire to you
To give you my soul
My entire life whole
And sing with you sweetly in tune
I held your soft hands in mine
And for that moment in time
My heart was at peace
From upon bended knee
And bluebirds sang from on high
When we're old and grey
And time has had its way
Away we will go
Down the shady grove
To spend the rest of our days
And so by the light of the moon
I spoke my desire to you
To give you my soul
My entire life whole
And sing with you sweetly in tune
And sing with you sweetly in tune
And sing
With you sweetly
In tune

The Great Mississippi
02:15
|
|||
When this city knocked me down
I packed my bags soon after and left this town
Two long years and soon my heart filled with ache
I was lost and gone astray
The great Mississippi carried me away
From ol' St. Louie before the break of day
Hard times had found me much to my dismay
When the great Mississippi brought me back to stay
Through my veins this river runs
From the moment when air first filled my lungs
No matter where I go or how far away
This river's in my blood to stay
The great Mississippi carried me away
From ol' St. Louie before the break of day
Hard times had found me much to my dismay
When the great Mississippi brought me back to stay

Guide Me Home
04:19
|
|||
I was in the clouds, my wings spread wide
Fallin' slowly from on high
The sun so brightly shone
But you will guide me home
I was in the woods, among the trees
Walkin' tall, no path to see
The way was overgrown
But you will guide me home
In your lovin' arms, you break my fall from grace
You silence the sirens calls, keep my head above the waves
You set my feet upon a far more sturdy ground
A clouded mind once lost, now is finally found
So I let the waves take me from shore
Just like all the times before
I'm soon down deep below
But you will guide me home
And when I lay this head of mine
Down to rest one final time
Upon this bed of stone
You will guide me home
In your lovin' arms, you break my fall from grace
You silence the sirens calls, keep my head above the waves
You set my feet upon a far more sturdy ground
A clouded mind once lost, now is finally found

Lend me your ears and I'll tell you a tale
That starts and the ends of the earth
A treasure once buried, a captain set sail
At cost much more than it's worth
At cost much more than it's worth
He called out "Weigh anchor, let's take to the sea!
All hands on deck, loyal crew!
Fill up your lungs with the cool ocean breeze,
Bask in the wonderful view,
Bask in the wonderful view!"
So they set forth on a journey so grand
What rich men they sought to become
But the next time that they set foot on land
Their hearts and their souls were undone
Their hearts and their souls were undone
"Men, you must bring that horizon to me!"
The captain yelled time and again
"We'll be so rich that we'll all live like kings!"
As storm clouds began rollin' in
As storm clouds began rollin' in
The winds and the waters conspired in kind
To sink that poor ship down below
Treasure was lost for another to find
As crew watched their old captain go
Down with the only ship he'd ever know
Down with the only ship he'd ever know
Down with the only ship he'd ever know
"Captain, oh, captain, please come back to me"
His bonnie lass prayed every night
"I'm sorry my lady, but he's lost at sea
He saved us, but try as he might,
The ocean reclaimed him that night,
The ocean reclaimed him that night."

She leans in close, and I feel her breath
As she whispers in my ear
The sounds of ghost that I thought had left
The words so crystal clear
But my hands are tied, so all I can do
Is just rock back to and fro
Try as I might, all I see is you
But you won't let me go
There is love in the mad house
Within the ghosts, the crazed, the confused
There is love in the mad house
The pursuing and the pursued
Over again and over again
I dream the same damn dream
Locked in a pen and forced to spend
Time listening to the screams
But in the end, I'm taken away
And cradled in your arms
Starting to mend, starting to wake
You set fire to the stars
There is love in the mad house
Within the ghosts, the crazed, the confused
There is love in the mad house
The pursuing and the pursued
There is love in the mad house
Within the ghosts, the crazed, the confused
There is love in the mad house
The pursuing and the pursued
She leans in close, and I feel her breath
As she whispers in my ear
The sounds of ghost that I thought had left
The words
So crystal
Clear
