Say Good Bye

See the sleet that rests upon

The quiet street we're standing on

Is it time to go away

And try again some other day?

'Cause these are words we use to say goodbye

These are the words you use to say goodbye

Bones crack, curtains drawn

On my back and she is gone

Somewhere else I do not know

Time will tell and I will go

These are the words we use to say goodbye

These are the words we use to say goodbye

I will wait and take a turn

Sort it out, let it burn

Empty out empty drawer

In my pockets, there's nothing more

These are the words you use to say goodbye

These are the words we use to say goodbye

 Heart Is A Drum

Free as a driving wheel
Circling around your iron will
See only what you feel
Keeps you turning when you're standing still
You tried to run from trouble when it comes
You followed the drum keeping time with everyone

High as the light of day
You're falling down across your lost highway
Pain - does it hurt this way?
To come so far to find they've closed the gates?
You've lost your tongue when you fall from the pendulum
Your heart is a drum keeping time with everyone

Everyone, if they drown from the undertow
Need to find someone to show me how to play it slow
And just let it go

Your eyes get stung by the rays of the sinking sun
You follow the drum keeping time with everyone
Going beat beat beat, it's beating me down
Beat beat beat beat, it's beating me down
Day after day, it's turning around
'Til all my days are drowning out

Morning

Woke up this morning, found a love light in the storm

Looked up this morning, saw the roses full of thorns

Guns are falling, they don't have nowhere to go

 

Oceans of diamonds always shine, smooth out below

Can we start it all over again, this morning?

I lost all my defenses, this morning

Won't you show me the way it used to be?

I've gone all around 'til there's nothing left to say

Wrote it all down into something that couldn't be said

I tore it all down and buried me underneath the wave

Can we start it all over again, this morning?

I let down my defenses, this morning

It was just you and me, this morning

I fought all my guesses, this morning

Won't you show me the way it could've been?
