Waiting For My Time
05:41
|
|||
|
I’m not trying to cry for you
Not to let the rivers run
Dreams could take you many miles
From where your supposed to be
With a bold unbending smile
I could suffer any trial
Like the hand that holds me
Its here and never gone by
You are here with heavy meaning
Held up high within my mind
A kind and thoughtful being
A copy from another time
And my soul is burning heavy
With the light of sun and sky
I am on the path to glory
I am waiting for my time
I’m struggling to think of it
As anything more than a lie
A fixation that has bound me
And leads me through this night
Oh where is there a story
I can tell that makes it right
Gentle are the words of wisdom
That kill me every time
Turn the wheels already roaming
Couldn’t stop to love again
Across the landscape moves its image
The mask of beauty worn by pride
And my soul is burning heavy
With the light of sun and sky
I am on the path to glory
I am waiting for my time

The Kind You Are
02:38
|
|||
|
The kind you are
Is all I seek
The rain can fall
Beneath your sheet
My world is short
Of being here with you
The answer is
I need the same
The willingness
To play your game
My lord is weak
He feels the things I feel
And so I wait
The answer is
I need the same
The willingness
To play your game
My lord is weak
He feels the things I feel
It's not too late
The pale stones
That pave the way
To everlasting
Day to day
And now I hear
You are afraid to be
Alone again, without me

I Want To Be With You
02:06
|
|||
|
I want to be with you
The way you want me to
I just have to do
The things I must
Feels so good to finally trust
Your world is pure
But I’m unsure
If I feel sore
From loving you
I want to be with you
The way you want me to
I just need to do
The tasks you set
Hurts so bad to see you upset
My time is free
To make you see
The pain you breed
Each time you say
I want to be with you
No matter what you do
But you haven’t got a clue
How it feels

Fashioned My Balloon
03:22
|
|||
|
Dancing all around me
Are cubes of dust and air
I feel them when I’m swimming
Up and through your stare
And I take pride
In living my life
Without revealing my eyes
Blinded by designs
For fear of not getting it right
Collecting what is owed to me
I’ve fashioned my balloon
Oh I shall scrape the heavens
To see you all too soon
And I stop twice
Right before the line
Along the road to reason
Nothing comes out right
For want of possessing the light

No Sorrow Until Morning
04:47
|
|||
|
Walk along the riverside
Just to end the day
You can ask me anything
Just don’t make me say
And now I guess that you’ve been told
You’ve had too much already
So you spoiled your life again
By being too much, too soon
On approach the moon is full
The stars are full of glory
That little house on up the drive
Is bleeding ordinary
And for a time we can be sure
As friends only could be
Beside the fire, beneath his smile
Where even lions must behave
But the page that sits open
Is the one where he declares
He’s only ever really loved you
The days you were not there
But we aren’t much like that are we
That’s only for the plays
We are simpler, tidied up
Silver trotters we have not
As evening sets its pieces down
The Shepards do their calling
Another gentle war begun
But now its entry's ending
You kiss my forehead on your way to bed
The rhythm of it is drumming
You are well and all is kept
No sorrow until morning

When you call me I'll be here
(When you call me I'll be here)
When you call me I'll be here
I'll be here
When you call me I'll be here
(When you call me I'll be here)
When you call me I'll be here
I'll be here
Oh hear how the madrigal does fly
High into the spirit realm
And you say, baby, I've got nothing
And I say, so do I
When you call me I'll be here
(When you call me I'll be here)
When you call me I'll be here
I'll be here
When you call me I'll be here
(Like a rodent on a spear)
When you call me I'll be here
I'll be here
No matter where you are
I'll be from ya near or far
When you call me I'll be here
(When you call me I'll be here)
When you call me I'll be here
I'll be here

Death Is All You'll Find
03:51
|
|||
|
Be lover or be beast
Be kind or be quite cruel
It doesn’t matter much to me
For I play for thee the fool
Sharp witted or dull tongued
Resentful or content
It only makes for childish games
To make your world pretend
Death, death
Death, death, death
Death, death
Death is all you’ll find
A shade, a shade, a shade I saw
Pass from your father’s blind
I could not speak for disbelief
And it made me weak and shy
So like a coward I did try
To place this meaning on
The way it feels to be alive
And know your right from wrong
Death, death
Death, death, death
Death, death
Death is all you’ll find
Death, death
Death, death, death
Death, death
Death is all you’ll find

Cherry & Esther
02:26
|
|||
|
Cherry with your long pink snout
Playing in the dirt
The only time I think of you
Is when I’m feeling hurt
You can tell that I’ve arrived
For you’ve heard the limousine
Colder nights I’m sure have been
But not that I have seen
Esther do you feel remorse
Sitting on your stoop
For every buckle you have judged
And every whistled tune
You stand before me looking thin
In a white and sequinned dress
A look from your friend tells me that
I really must impress
I spent the first of April like
A clown with no balloon
I rode all up and down the street
On the backend of a broom
But I am sure that when I love
I’ll really give it all
Cause nothing ever made me large
But this really makes me small

Rosemary
03:41

Rosemary with gentle shame
To hear the angels cry
He held your hand on winter walks
He held you in his smile
Darling, Rosemary
The child of seven men
Love is all you think about
Before the gates of hell
"Rosemary I’ve warned you now"
You hear your mother sigh
"Not to go for pretty men
For their only cheap and sly"
Darling, Rosemary
The child of seven men
Love is all you think about
Before the gates of hell
Darling, Rosemary
The child of seven men
Love is all you think about
Before the gates of hell

Love Is Just Enough
01:49
|
|||
|
Love is a big thing
It keeps me feeling strong
All along the winding roads
That try to lead me wrong
But fear is no small thing
And people know me best
I just couldn’t figure it out
To pass the fortune test
All those little dreams you had
They just keep ticking on
But love is just enough to last this long
Love is just enough to last this long
Without you here beside me
I just can’t make it up
The things I need to face the day
Are all but tightened shut
So please my love come near me
Save my pennies away
‘Fore I lose myself completely
To the footsteps in the clay
Every doubt you ever had
Every wheel that wouldn’t turn
Love is just enough to never learn
Love is just enough to never learn
Love is just enough to never learn
