Oh, you won the war, you won the war and now you’re wandering how you’re so alone You got the part, you got the part but why are all lines so damn short? You’re boxing shadows, you’re not the hero of great renown, there’s room to grow Oh, when do you know, when do you know? That all the work was worth the pay in tolls? My dreams still howl, my dog still growls the pack is running faster every hour You’re boxing shadows, you’re not the hero of great renown, there’s room to grow You’re boxing shadows, you’re not the hero of great renown, there’s room to grow

Elixirs 03:40
I wasn’t quite prepared for this, I know My hands still haven’t got used to the ropes I promise I’ll grow stronger as we go I’ll get a tighter grip here for the pull But I’m taking a drink from the fountain I’m trying the elixir of youth I’m coming on down from the mountain I’m re-reading the whole book of truth That calories were burning at the door You’ll have to carry me from off the floor I wasn’t quite prepared for this I know I grew up a featherbed at home But I’m taking a drink from the fountain I’m trying the elixir of youth I’m coming on down from the mountain I’m re-reading the whole book of truth I’m coming on down from the mountain with some wisdom that’s on my tongue I’m taking a drink from the fountain So I’ll make the day like I am young
3.
Come and keep by my lovely fire I’ve got pieces I’m scheming from the liars with in me You’ve replayed in my darker mind You’re relived in the days I have assigned without you Yes, I’ll leave it behind Yes, I’ll leave it behind Yes, I’ll leave it behind Yes, I’ll leave it behind Burn it down here burn it down it will come again come up, on up from this ground Up and around So burn it down I’ve got ghosts for the tinder glow I’ve got pages to wash as clean as snow to warm me I’ve got memories for matches now I will lighten the load so sad and loud for When I see you Heaven knows it will light Heaven knows it will light
4.
Please cover me buried in wonder Under the joy and I will rise up, rise again Please cover me buried in hope under the glory and wonder and I will rise up, rise again new

Will you wake w me, In the sunrise Will you wait w me in the moonlight How we'll lay, And both be held Folding limbs As last lights fail - Oh you'll walk w me In the one light Oh you'll sing w me The one line How you'll smile How we'll laugh How we'll stand As oceans pass — Oh you'll dance w me At first sight And fall asleep, beat After night after after night How we'll watch Them fly away How we'll say we love the race that they would take - Won't you wait w me For the sunrise Holding close to me In the one light We'll all move on Far from here My dust to dust And your dust near -

Eventually 03:01
My hourglass, my calloused hands My furrowed brow in all my plans I’ll come into my own, I’ll come into my own The distance I have traveled The wool that I have gathered I’ll come into my own, I’ll come into my own Heaven’s ship sails low All the while, it’s ever close You know you know… You’ll never have that time you need You strike the rock but nothing bleeds You’ll come into your own eventually the distance you have wandered The fabric torn asunder You’ll come into your own, you’ll come into your own Heaven’s ship sails slow Give it time, it’ll show before you go, before you go you know, you know, oh Before you go, before you go You know you know, oh

You seem yourself, You seem yourself today more than yesterday You lost yourself Tossed along the way But that, Love, was yesterday What will it take to wash it off? to turn your head? to move along? What will it take to let it go? to leave the past? to pay the toll? Lalala oh, oh
10.
You bring a beginning You spark a heart that’s gone to line and you jump the spine You stun like a canon You show the scars of your darkest night in the morning light I have waited for you I have waited so long You bite like a new life You cut the metals on the fold and you break the binds You blind like the lights on A brighter sun to run the sky Always on my side I have waited for you I have waited so long You bring a beginning You spark a heart that’s gone to line and you jump the spine You stir like a new birth You lift a mother on the wings and the free bird sings I have waited for you I have waited so long
11.
When our fathers left us it took apart the home and it left it’s influence on how we see our gods Will you stay? ooh, ooh Will you stay? ooh, ooh Or will you get going, will you get going, will you get going will you be gone?
