Boxing Shadows
03:17
|

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

Ghosts for Tinder
03:13
|
|||
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

Please Cover Me

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

Sunrise Sunrise Sunrise

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

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
03:14
|
|||
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

I Have Waited for You
04:19
|
|||
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

Will You Stay?
02:04
|
|||
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?
