Without you now

Summer, spring, winter, fall
Under my eyes
It’s been a year
Since I’ve seen Paul
Hope he’s doing alright
All this tumbling around my memory
Got me worn out, wasted
And high
Still the world keep spinning
Dust off your jeans
Your favorite shirt
Straighten up your tie
I guess you feel a little hurt
Well It’s no surprise
You’ve been living like a bandit boy
Dancing around the fire
As long as Life keeps giving
Know that I’ll keep hanging on
To that summer breeze carrying a song
Without you now
A Simple dream
Lived before it’s time
Before the fruit bends the branch
It’s just Blocking sunlight
And if to truth you come crawling
It will ask you to rise
Only love can keep you waiting
And only love can take time away
Like a child you’ve been swallowed in your sight
Just holding up your candle to the light
Now the only way to fall is to fly
Without you now
Without you now

Star over my shoulder
03:47

I called to see how you are
And find out where we stand
Found you passed out in your car
Phone blinking in your hand
Some things are better untouched
Some words better unsaid
If you ever need a friend to call
Know I’ll call you friend
It ain’t the glistening in your eyes
The red in your lips
I’ve got eternity on my trail
It’s gaining quick
Seven years of thunder
Wearing out my luck
I’ll keep your star over my shoulder
And pray the light will be enough
If there’s room for any reason
If a favor I could ask
Don’t let me know I’m winning
Until the season is past
My eyes are green with envy
With fever, spite and rage
If a lie could leave you lonely
The truth could do the same
Stretching for forgiveness
Sleeping off the haze
Climbing up the wall
I feel it in my body
Centuries of silence
Calling out my name
If there’s anything worth winning
If there’s any hand to hold
Stop these wheel from spinning
Until I get my story told
The path is laid with ruin
There’s nothing I can do
It’s the only path worth leading
The only sky of blue
It ain’t the glistening in your eyes
The red in your lips
I’ve got eternity on my trail
It’s gaining quick
Seven years of thunder
Wearing out my luck
I’ll keep your star over my shoulder
I’ll keep your star over my shoulder
I’ll keep your star over my shoulder
And pray the light will be enough

I’m still walking out this endless road
Repeating every story told
Misreading every sign
Unhappy with the place I find
Sudden changes on the open sea
But nothing really changed for me
Still Working this 9-5
Laying bricks for another life
Love comes looking for everyone
Begging you to come undone without breaking
Ain’t no loneliness in suffering
We all get to share this thing
An empty bar or an empty ring
Broken heart broken everything
Let’s find a better way to come undone
Then pretend like we’re the only ones
Who ever loved something and watched it die
Tied yourself up to come untied
Love leaves a song here for everyone
Simple and softly sung
Just listen
Softly sewn
In every form
Suddenly I see it
It’s ten to one
Racing for the light
Waiting for a lie to take you home
I’ve been wondering how the end could go
I sang every word I know.
About emptiness and love untrue
There’s one thing I ain’t said to you
I’m gonna love you with all my heart
If it hurts of if it falls apart
Tired of watching from the other side
Hold your hand out and I’ll do mine
The dove sings
Soft over everything
Clear as an open string
Not bending

Light on
04:16

You could take a fall if you needed to
Just to feel the ground again
And breathe a little light in you
I’d be a post in that picket fence
Something for to lean on
Something strong to push against
It seems you’ve been a wanderer
And staked your claim
Maybe in another town
Maybe by a different name
You’ve had your taste of loneliness
You’ve seen it shine
But how far could love get you
If you took your time
You don’t have to lie to me
Just keep your heart where my eyes can see
And try to keep your light on
As hard as that may be
I know its been a long day
You’re getting lost in the things you say
But you could watch the sun shine
Maybe for the last time
It may wash that loneliness away
You’re running after pictures
That you strain to see
To the middle of the desert
The bottom of that haunted tree
You’re all alone now
No-one to say your name
Are you afraid of losing touch
Afraid of losing the game
You watch those loose ties
All come to an end
The grass on the riverside
Disappears around the slow bend
You’ve taken invitations
Spoke too soon
Leaves you lying in a strangers bed
In the corner of a strangers room
You don’t have to lie to me
I stayed awake through your bad dream
And I’m gonna keep this light on
Even if you don’t see
It may be just the time to stay
And live the life that you threw away
I know it's late and it’s hard to find
A clear picture though those foggy eyes
But pull the string and you see it all unwind
You could take a fall if you needed to
Just to feel the ground again
And breathe a little light in you
I’d be a post in that picket fence
Something for to lean on
Something strong to push against

It's a lie
03:40
|
|||
|
Watching the fall of seeded lies
Leaving the party on vine
You step inside an open heart to be realized
Then you hold up the falling walls around you
It’s a lie
It’s a lie
It’s been a long, lonely, frightened summer
You’re wrapped around the clock so tight you can’t feel it
And you keep running for more time
As if something lost is waiting around for you
In the light you’re just waiting
I came around so lost in a fever
I fell into a dream you were crying
Reaching out from both sides
Fighting shadows cast by demons we created
In a war unending
It’s a lie
It’s a lie
Yeah it’s a lie
It’s a lie to keep your fear well hidden
It’s a lie
It’s a lie
Yeah it’s a lie
Can you cast it all aside and just be there

Oak tree

Sold myself a story of how I’d like to be
Without looking too close, this is what you’d see
A long front porch and an old oak tree
Some pictures in the house of you and me
Living easy
Living free
Oh oh
Oh oh
Drinking black coffee in the afternoon
Come on love we’ve got the room
Seasons change and flowers bloom
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Lost in a season where nothing grows
Forgetting the feeling god only knows
Time will teach you how to die
Let it hold you so you can try
Glued to the wheel and
You’re on my side
Asleep at the wheel and
you’re on my side
Lost in the reeds and
You’re on my side
Stuck in a feeling
You’re on my side
Asleep in a field and
You’re on my side
Stopping the feeding
You’re on my side
Lost in the reeds and
You’re on my side
Stopping the feeding
You’re on my side
