Seasonal Separate
04:33
|

They tell you lovers ain't ever worth deceiving
When aspirations bend and swell
Don't sell your soul 'till you know where it's going
But I say it's too hard to tell
You found out living is dissonance and heartache
Because it came conditional
The disappointment's in knowing you lost it
When you found something to sell
Never cared too much for the money
It's all the indecision of why
We're coming back to the truth
Or the reason we both drew near
I'm in love with the seasons
But they're still changing dear
Well your father, he disagreed with reason
Your mother's love could not contend
With the stream of degradation that's flowing
It poisons the words in your head
Go tell your lover she's beautiful in ballgowns
Tell her you want to make her heart fall
Don't say you're humble if the ghost you're fleeing
Has got you backed against the wall
Never cared too much for the money
It's all the indecision of why
We're coming back to the truth
Or the reason we both drew near
I'm in love with the seasons
But they're still changing dear
I can't separate it
No I can't separate it
This hopeless endeavor we'd both exchange
I'm in love with you honey but I can't explain
The truth of the matter when we're counting costs
We're locked in this fever and lost
I can't separate it
No I can't separate it
I can hear you when you're whispering softly
I can feel the way you're moving trembling love
I can see you
Lover hold me now

Getting Older
05:54
|

Oh my friend it's so hard to see you so down
Commiserating, it's complicated I've found
Ain't no aeroplane ride to take you where you need
When your lover's arms make your fingernails bleed
Sure, they're strong and they're full of emotion
But suffocating in their devotion
You weren't old enough to love her like you could now
Beautiful girl who wrote you letters, you didn't need her around
You've been prayin' for this year to be over
Heaven's been calling you when you were sober
Cryin' late at night in the seat of your car
Seems like Heaven ain't been calling you so far
The leaves are falling, the tree limbs exposed
They blanket the ground so that green things can grow
Arms extending, your limbs exposed
Your lips are parting, you're getting older
The lines on your face, while they gently impose
Love, the pressure's abating
You're getting older
The leaves are falling, the tree limbs exposed
They blanket the ground so that green things can grow
Arms extending, your limbs exposed
Your lips are parting, you're getting older
The lines on your face, while they gently impose
Love, the pressure's abating
You're getting older
You're falling asleep with your skin exposed
Neath these knotted sheets, yeah you're getting older
You're getting older, You're getting older
You're getting older, You're getting older
You're getting older, You're getting older
You're getting older, You're getting older
You're getting older, You're getting older
You're getting older, We're getting older too

Song of the Pines

What's in the bones when the marrow is gone?
Is it lost to ex-lovers and dead friends?
When the leaves of wire sing their beautiful song
Would you rest a little easier my friend?
What's in the bones when the marrow is gone?
Is it lost to ex-lovers and dead friends?
When the leaves of wire sing their beautiful song
Would you rest a little easier my friend?
Would you rest a little easier my friend?
Would you rest a little easier my friend?
What's in the bones when the marrow is gone?
Is it lost to ex-lovers and dead friends?
When the leaves of wire sing their beautiful song
Would you rest a little easier my friend?
Would you rest a little easier my friend?
Would you rest a little easier my friend?

Brother
00:59
|

Brother Brother, where have you been?
We've been waiting on your weary grin
This tired soul to dissipate
With creeping tongues and withered faith
Rasping breaths and a cloudy head
They say it ain't no way to live
Brother Brother, where are you now?
He's sick with waiting

Cry out on a cold April evening
Fingers tremble as she runs to the fold
A gentle whisper, no it ain't so soothing
When his hands are too still to hold
Sterile walls and the chill exceeding
Cold metal instruments piercing his gut
Tenderly brushing the hair from his forehead
Hoping the warmth in her hands are enough
Time is a demon
Time is a savior
And it's a damn shame
It's a damn shame
Gave up my vices and chased all my saviors away
Chased all my saviors away
Chased all my saviors away
Slower breathing, slower beating
Prayin' to Jesus for some kind of hope
Fifty years ain't but faces and voices
But a lovers touch can make the days go slow
Time is a demon
Time is a savior
And it's a damn shame
It's a damn shame
Gave up my vices and chased all my saviors away
Chased all my saviors away
Chased all my saviors away
Days get warmer, she sits by the window
Silence hangs heavy in an empty home
All of the years that they laughed and wandered
Never wanted to spend the last ones alone

Frozen in NYC
04:54
|
|||
I've never been to New York City
But the thought has got me wondr'in
If my life will ever take me there someday
Maybe there I'd meet somebody
Who would teach me how to fall in love
Like the movie stars and writers wish they
Wish they could talk about when nights get colder
Spending lonely evenings gettin' older day by day
Shivering in the cold and empty
Thinking if this don't change then we'll wither away
Mmm that feeling's seeping into your bones
Thinking anything is better than alone
I can tell you're growing weary
And I guess that makes the two of us
We'd always thought we'd work it out someday
You're frustration ain't so pretty
When you're trying to remember
How the hell we even got here anyway
The dusty tattered picture frames
Of memories long forgotten on the other side of the road
Teardrops falling trying to remember
Voices screaming saying, You don't have to do this alone
But naturally on deaf ears they may fall
And we wonder if it's worth the say at all
Oh darling I know you're tired of the way things seem to be
But I'm beggin' please don't give up on this now
I never want to end up like those movie stars you see
All alone and broken down
With their softly flickering fireplaces
Hangin' onto shadows fading, tryin' to ease their minds
But bricks and mortar crumble
As the wind and rain beat them down down over time
Till all that's left is rubble and dust
So I thank the Lord I never needed much
I've never been to New York City
But I've got a sneaking feeling
If I packed my bags and went I'd see you there
Well that ain't bad in theory
But honey we both know
If this winter's cold we're freezing as a pair
Frost clouding the windowpane
And cold breath whisp'ring maybe we weren't
Meant to make it at all
It feels like we've been frozen
Since we burned out, and our ashes flew away
A long time ago
Never to be seen again

Quiet Down
04:30
|
|||
Makeup stains on the carpet
Opened her eyes to an empty bottle in her hand
Shields her eyes from the bright lights
Hears a voice in the corner calling her name
Oh what to say
It all came to her in a rush now
Whole world broken, shattered like ice on the floor
Who said I can't do this anymore
She kept on shouting as the tears fall
Flying accusations, the walls they shake at the sound
Who said 'love, quiet down'
You said you promised that you'd never leave me broken
Stood their crying with a half empty bottle in her hand
She said, 'I'm drowning out my sorrows at the bottom of this bottle
But I'll scream till the sun goes down
So no love, I won't quiet down'
She threw both her hands up
Exasperated she shouts, 'I don't know what to say'
She said, 'We better say something
Cause if we don't we'll fall apart all the same
And then who's to blame'
You said you promised that you'd never leave me broken
But those were simply words and I don't think they mean a thing
I know we're screaming and we're crying and it feels like we're dying
But I know we'll make it out okay
So please love, don't quiet down
I know we're screaming and we're crying and it feels like we're dying
But I know we'll make it out okay
So please love, never quiet down
Promise me love, never quiet down
Promise me love, never quiet down

7,000 Miles
04:53
|

Gonna take that railroad, gonna travel by the street
7,000 miles from sea to shining sea
Standing on a rooftop in the Tennessee sun
Maybe we're just dreamers singing 'west coast here we come'
Went down to Chicago, packed our bags got on that train
Hear that Amtrak whistle blowing, windy city calling our names
Across the trestle our dreams began to glide
Voice in our head screams 'never felt so alive'
All of our doubt, all of our fear
We buried them deep in the ground
Western skies calling out
Won't catch us walking away
Ooo Nothing left to hold us back
All of our doubts, throw 'em away
Away from me 'way from me now
Went out to that desert land where Arizona waits
Stood over that canyon, it'll take your breath away
Onward to Hollywood where all the stars collide
Just another rooftop o're them Angel City lights
Up the coast to San Fransisco, sleepin in the streets
Golden bridge above our heads and the ocean below our feet
Through the mountains to Seattle and beyond
Look out now, we're coming home
All of our doubt, all of our fear
We buried them deep in the ground
Western skies calling out
Won't catch us walking away
Ooo Nothing left to hold us back
All of our doubts, throw 'em away
Away from me 'way from me now
All of our doubt, all of our fear
We buried them deep in the ground
Western skies calling out
Won't catch us walking away
Ooo Nothing left to hold us back
All of our doubts, throw 'em away
Away from me 'way from me now

Golden Cascade
06:21
|
|||
When the daylight grows soft and dim
Will I fall into your arms
Will we lie down in triumph again
Lost in the din of your charms
Darling refuge, your golden cascade
Will usher us into the night
Where we our affections persuade
Bathing in glorious light
Hearts applauding in thunderous waves
Rises and shudders, I can't contain
Your caress is too much
For a heart unprepared to sustain
In your heart can't you find
A reason to salvage
What love left behind
The bitter and ravaged
It's so hard
When I'm afraid, I need you to hold me
Stay by my side when I get lonely
Shaking inside, I need you to show me
Show me your tenderness, baby I'll follow
When I'm afraid, I need you to hold me
Stay by my side when I get lonely
Shaking inside, I need you to show me
Show me your tenderness
Show me your tenderness
Show me your tenderness
