You Will Not Take My Heart Alive

And what do you remember most?. The line of the sea, seceding the coast?. Fine capillaries, glowing with cars?. The comfort you drew from the light of the stars?.

Divers

The diver is my love. And I am his, if I am not deceived. Who takes one breath above for every hour below the sea. . Who gave to me a jewel. Worth twice this woman's life, though it cost her less.

Balance

The proper understanding. of the situation. that's been called upon. There are two equal pieces. Dictated by the grains of sand. Watch the scales tip.

Poor Souls [owen Cover]

Long night. Last call. Bloodshot eyes from some drinks too tall. Breathe in deep and I swear to god I'll die. If I go home alone tonight.. . I raise my head slow hoping to find.

Happy With Me

I can't wait you see me 'round the corner,. Running up into the upswing. Call me, I'm done, when I speak about the truth. The moment come the bottom to the down beat,.

Sword + Gun

Lay down your sword and gun,. Lay down your soldier's arms.. Got to make it right,. All we've done. Is to war and fight,. On and on.. . Lay down your sword and gun,.

Karen

Hope

I think I'm getting it right this time. I can tell by the way she grins.. She put the postcards up on the head of our bed,. I can see Algiers.. She said don't the streets on Sunday look great,.

Grandma Mary

Mary, you are the bird inside the hand. Of St. Francis in the garden where he stands.. Handwriting, a birth mark, and a quilt,. Mother to my mother and to me. And to me..

Are You A Dreamer?

Dream, are you a dreamer?. Are you a dreamer?. Do you dream?. Sleep, are you a sleeper?. . Are you a sleeper?. Do you sleep?. When your brown eyes close.

Finding Your Feet Again

This is what it's like. Finding your feet again. The part of you that couldn't. Finally thinks you can. . You're taking off some time to do this. A small apartment bedroom rearranged.

Little Flowers

How you found me out I still never understand,. Thoughts you can't take with you when you go.. You were waving flags that bare the colors. Of your love I didn't know:.

Distant Sures

Oh airborne eyes. Yeah, will see black storms. If the summer is gone. Let it slide by. . So let's take tonight. Ooh my little one. If the captain is right.

Done This One Before

Well, in the morning, we'll have to pretend again, smiling. You'll be my good friend again, hold me. The light comes a-creeping in the morning, the curtain will rise again.

Straight And Narrow

The trouble with the straight and the narrow. Is its so thin, I keep sliding off to the side. And the devil makes good use of these hands of mine. . And if Jesus is the straight path that saves.

Obnoxia

Come out, I'll say sorry and we can just finally be. If coming back I don't see you, then. Well that's just fine with me. 'Cause I find it hard to make sense now, I need anyone.

Get Strict

Tell me words, no calling back on the way. And so I'll wait on the rest. Cause you will come back to me, aha. I got a little bit of feeling when you look my way.

Lover

And love I've been waiting. 'Cause I just want to cause a big thing. Don't tell me you missed me. I've been working on my aim. Oh I tried, so we can both be nice.

Color Me In

It's so much that I don't mind. So color me from outside in. See I don't know, I don't know. I'm calling you wherever you go. I'll follow you wherever you go.

Letter To A Friend In Jail

Can you see this hotel from your cell?. Can you sleep and do they feed you well?. It's been months since I've had any word.. On the only tape of you I have your speech is slurred..
