So Many Lies
03:25
|
|||
|
What do I do with what you told me
Where does it go now that you are gone
What else falls into the silence
Your voice and your longing
Can you still shine
With so many lies
Bitter and sweet every time
All those times you came to my window
Lookin’ so good and makin’ me feel so fine
Finally I see you didn’t need me
And I didn’t care as long as you came by
With so many lies
Living and dying all the time
I had a dream your garden was burning
We jumped in your car and went for a ride
Signs were pointing to all our tomorrows
Beg, steal and borrow to learn to fly
With so many lies
Angels and demons by your side
Bitter and sweet every time
Hey!

Favours to Find
03:05
|
|||
|
I keep seein’ you around
Head in the clouds
No more lovers to hide
And too many favours to find
Too many favours to find
I come crashin’ down
The truth is what I found
Love doesn’t come quickly
I need space to breathe
Space to breathe
You keep seein’ me around
Ashes in my mouth
All my troubles aside
And too many favours to find
Too many favours to find
I have a healer in mind
Just give me a sign
Another way to survive
Are you still hangin’ around
With your head underground
Who’s left behind
With too many favours to find
Too many favours to find

Down the Grey River
03:56
|
|||
|
There you go, baby, down the grey river
Findin’ your way to the sea
Time’s gettin’ shorter and life just gets darker
Brings me to my knees
I’ve been desperate and down, run out of town
Such a sad story of loving so blindly
Sometimes I’m shameless, sinful and aimless
Measure it all against me
Blistered and worn, troubled and torn
And nobody’s baby
But I agreed to suffer so gladly
And I am guilty of loving so blindly
Trying to keep steady, rough, tough and ready
Can’t admit I’m lonely
Miserable and mindless, lacking in kindness
Wilted, weak and weary
I’ve been desperate and down, run out of town
Such a sad story of loving so blindly
There you go, baby, down the grey river
Finding your way to the sea

Rosalie

Rosalie meets this mountain
Rides the road with her dogs at night
Gathers thyme in the garden
Speaks to stars in the moonlight
Rosalie knows great spirit
Listens closely and responds
Loves each soul like a whisper
Heals the world with her song
Oh Rosalie he he he he
Rosalie sings to children
Slowly counts the beads
Around their necks
She is mother of thousands
Trusts in cause and its effect
Oh Rosalie he he he he
Rosalie has no lover
Solitude suits her just fine
Silver hair down her shoulders
Love will come to her in time
Oh Rosalie he he he he

Madeline

Madeline, I missed you so much
Have you come to stay
And it’s fine if you need to go
I won’t stand in your way
Oh Madeline, oh Madeline
There was a time we talked every day
When you lived by the sea
And I don’t mind if you need to go
I know it’s got nothin’ to do with me
Oh Madeline, oh Madeline
It’s been a while since we fueled our fire
Yeah, we were trouble indeed
But I feel alive when I look in your eyes
Since we were sixteen
Oh Madeline, oh Madeline
And it’s no crime to walk away
We will all be redeemed
And it’s been a while
Since I watched you survive on
Cigarettes and caffeine
Oh Madeline, oh Madeline

Receiver
03:08
|
|||
|
Baby, you got me in a fever
You don’t need a teacher
You’re showin’ me around
Lately I’m a bit of a dreamer
Livin’ in the ether
When, where and how
Oh darlin’, we just align
It’s kinda blowin’ my mind
I’m a receiver, and a believer
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You’re so flirty, and a bit of a seeker
So much for procedure
I got my head in the clouds
You came in like a meteor
And it couldn’ta been easier
And I like that you’re eager
And you found me somehow
Oh darlin’, we just align
It’s kinda blowin’ my mind
I’m a receiver, and a believer
A heavy breather
A woman of leisure
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
A wheeler and a dealer
Let’s go a little deeper
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Sweet Liza
04:53

|
Liza always smiles in the mornin’
Knows how to meet the day
And in a way her risin’ and shinin’ is like a call
To always take the time to pray
Guided by a need for surrender
She gives him all the space in the world
Doesn’t need him to be her defender
Knows she will always be heard
Holds herself like a queen naturally
Brightens up your day when you need it
Oh Liza, Sweet Liza
She’s with us today, lighting the way
Her wonder for the world is divine
And her love for it is so genuine
And in a way she gathers us
together forever
Oh Liza, sweet Liza remains
Holds herself like a queen naturally
Brightens up your day when you need it
Oh Liza, Dear Liza
Our Liza, Sweet Liza
She’s with us today, lighting the way

Face the Facts
03:01
|
|||
|
I hear the sound of the birds’ wings beatin’
Hold my breath, hold my breath
I see the land on the shore retreatin’
What a mess, what a mess
Have we gone too far to come back
Can we find a way to face the facts
I see the shadow of the lost souls leavin’
Turn your head, turn your head
We all hear the wailin’ of
their mothers grievin’
Can’t pretend, can’t pretend
Have we gone too far to come back
Can we find a way to face the facts
I see the clouds in the sky are fallin’
Raise your hand, raise your hand
And now the edge of the world is burnin’
Good goddamn, good goddamn
Have we gone too far to come back
Can we find a way to face the facts
And now we’re fallin’, fallin’ to our knees
There’s nowhere else for us to be
Have we gone too far to come back
Can we find a way to face the facts

This Woman
04:21
|
|||
|
Watch this woman work
Question her motives
Shake inside her shoes
Interrupt her sorrow
She is not your daughter
Ask her what she fought for
Watch this woman walk
Deep into the night
Shield her from all harm
Taste her liberation
Give her strength to speak
And wake her from sleep
Watch this woman bleed
Delegate devotion
Measure her life
Classify her freedom
Drown her with a stone
Button, wool and bone
Watch this woman rise!
Enter her power
Safe inside her heart
Occupy her wounds
She is no stranger
And we will not tame her

Gather Up Your Days
03:01
|
|||
|
Been stayin’ up all night
Heaven knows what heaven holds
Count my fingers and curl my toes
You never noticed how things can change
You never asked if those things
Were ever gonna be the same
Oh the glory of it all, we rise and we fall
Gather up your days
I’ve been thinkin’ about the trees
With whom you spent your time
Were they sweeter than me
And did you burn down their desire
The river’s full of light
Like love on a wild spring day
You never talked to me
You had nothin’ to say
Oh the glory of it all, we rise and we fall
Gather up your days
I saw the morning star
Bright as the face of a child
Told me straight up,
“Girl, everything’s gonna be just fine”
But it doesn’t matter you see
‘Cause it happens all the time
Winter comes again
And the light’s back in your eyes
Oh the glory of it all, we rise and we fall
Gather up your days
Oh the glory of it all, we rise and we fall
Gather up your days
Gather up your days

Ready to Begin
03:55
|
|||
|
Do you have the time
To mean something to me
Do you have the faith
To show me what you’ve seen
I have no inhibitions, deliver my decisions
Sleep well into the day, tend to disobey
I know I can do better, with a little effort
I won’t ask too much of you
Or take you for a fool
Touch me, turn me, thrill me, burn me
Throw me to the wind
Save me, drown me, change me, doubt me
Teach me how to swim
Push me, pull me, rock me, roll me
When do we begin
Let’s talk about the birds
And everything we’ve learned
Read your letters aloud
Hide out in a crowd
Make me want you more
See my heart laid bare
Watch me fall apart,
find me in the dark
I’ll meet you where you are
With all our perfect flaws
Rain or sun, I can always be undone
Touch me, turn me, thrill me, burn me
Throw me to the wind
Save me, drown me, change me, doubt me
Teach me how to swim
Push me, pull me, rock me, roll me
When do we begin
Are you ready to begin
Are you ready to begin
