A million years she'd been awake
A million years she prayed
For one familiar soul to help her navigate her way
She stood agog at the spray of stars
And thought aloud each day:
I've been here so long
Holding on, but

Somehow I know
I can't be on this planet alone<

so july came in its glory and the sun claimed its rule
kids held sunburned hands into the ocean to cool
and we lapped up those days which seemed forever endless
and counted the ways we imagined we could make it last

so october rolled along and all the trees were changing colors

I'll tell you what
I hope you find
What it is you're after

And as for me
I will be
Dreaming still of clocks all growing like fruit on my fingers' branches
And i'm thinking of things i will need in the past
Tell me, where's the use in that?
It's no use to regret<

Dawn, why were you hiding?
Your clouds just melted through the horizon
They were gold, red and purple
Peeling backwards in the sun
Like the layers of a rose

The night held me as hostage
With its black blanket over my eyelids
Couldn't go any further
Than i ever d

This crowded room has a hundred ghosts
But it's your pretty green eyes that please me the most
I fully know this is dangerous
But I've never been too good at control

Cuz when I look at you baby it's like looking straight into the sun
And I don't wanna look away cuz I know I

Stomach scrapes the rusty pavement
Claws are out, trying to tame it
My mind can't slow its chemicals
The longing grows when you're away

Bed of straw
The mother calls
But no response from miles away
Clouds let go their silver ropes
And there goes hope when ends t

I would like to run away to
A place where
The clouds would roll high in the afternoon
Where sidewalks light up by the harvest moon

I would like to run away to
A place where
Stars could be seen as a warning
Where we could rise clean in the morning

The dust stor

I'd been road bound, drunk on summertime
When you up and left
Saying doubts about me'd slow been surfacing
Like grass through the cement

Hotel held a bound red gideon into which i sunk my teeth
Searching for love unconditional, dreaming without sleep
Alone, you see

Dreaming into the sunlight
Bluebirds fly
Wanting also to unwind
And forget, finally

I know now that silence speaks
To walk away would be so sweet
Let me love again, please

My body grows, but my heart lays
The weight, it's trying
While leaves drop every aut

Where you go
Where you go I would follow
Over mountains
Fields and houses

And you have grown
Sure and slow all your secrets
Within my heart
So please,
Don't make me believe
If you don't believe it
Don't make me give
If you ain't receiving
Don't h

Every night I walk the streets
Never dreaming what could happen
Sad and so lonely I saw
In the mirror my reflection
Staring back at me
But will I ever find what I need

(chorus)
But I'll wear that dress if you wear that tie
And baby, we'll dance through the night

You can't escape the feeling
That rises from the root
The sputter, then the silence
When two hearts run out of fuel
We painted little pictures
To escape the big
But now the light is fading
And all our love with it
And it won't quit

It's a long way to the end

Worshipped a deity
A false god i praised
He had two legs to walk
And a smile on his face

He seemed infallible
I thought someone this great
Surely must be from above
Not from this place
And what a gorgeous view for me 
i would follow you to anywhere you traveled

Turn on the lights, I feel blue
By seven am only seven winks through
Guess once again I'll try my luck
At catching up to speed with my hummingbird heart

I want a sea of faces
Nobody that I know
They'll holler when they hear my name
And then they'll go back home

I dream an o...
I dream an o...
I dream an ocean of relief when I see you reaching out for me
Your fingers reaching for my fingers as the riptide gleams

But I know it's not, not the way you feel and I
Know I'm not what you thought you needed
But I could swear I saw in y

To see Mad Tom of Bedlam,
Ten thousand miles I've traveled
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
To save her shoes from gravel

It's well that we sing bonney boys
Bonney mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonney
For they all go bare, and they live in the air
And they want no drin

remove me like the ring you're wearing
forget that far away I sleep
among the hordes of the memories, merlot, women's magazines
and when the sun comes up tomorrow
another shady late entry
another lie among the never-saids buried in between

in sorrow, spirits lure you wh

Well you don't think that it's working
Cuz you don't think it's sublime
And these windows only hurt you
As you hold me close tonight

I've been dreaming still of wingless birds that circle in the sky
Certain to plummet forth the second they look down from up on high

Charlene:
Darling, why am i not surprised it rained today?
Doesn't it seem my broken heart just tends to ride the wind
But what will break the weight that's held up by a string?

You don't reminisce like me 'bout how it was
Romanticizing these redundant thoughts
I'm neve

You strike a certain chord in the thick of me
And i'm terrified in seeing how it rings and it carries
You know it's been such a long time since i felt one inside
Call me too reserved
Cuz my armor's on
Why should i open a pandora's box of rude complications?
The risk is to
