Listen to the waves, I love the ocean
A train rattles through the voices
The wind, the sound of the world in motion
And crazed we follow them

She said I know you, I know you I do
Even when you turn away and my thoughts arise
I've been in the light, you should try it too

out on the island
the natives taught me
about their strange god
their carver? rituals
and they showed me their mellow music
I felt so different, but kinda the same

I had no time
I had to go, had to finish
my race around the earth
and for one shining minute

I could never understand a single word the captain said
I could never love a girl who wasn't crazy in the head
I could never be a farmer 'cause I don't get out of bed
Until the sun goes down
Sun goes down

We rule the world

Some people, they're born about as white as y

Anna Maria
Anna Maria
Do you remember me?

I'm hoping all is well
You know I been through some hell
But I'm standing in a clearing finally

Long ago I loved you so much
Nowadays I just don't know much
Anymore
I can't say what is real

But I lost my tele

so ya told everyone
yr off chasing the sun
catching a ride at the station

and you wouldnt come back
till ya get on the track
that ya somehow got carried away from

you were once the bright futures
once the proud horses
every one wanted to bet on

but livin

On the corner, rattling change
A weary beggar sings for his dinner
Saying the earth was good to me today
It gave me just enough to go on my way

And I was homeless when you found me
Took me in and put a tea kettle on
And the light washed over me, I was no beggar then

My old man, he sailed away
By a boat upon the sea
My mother held her head high
And smiled down on me
She said, "Boy, get wise
Work harder, do something with your nights
Look smarter
I promise you it's better days ahead"

And you, you were my friend
When I had

Last night I shot a bottle rocket
Into the sky
Just to watch it fly

Drank till I fell right off the swingset
Midnight in the park
I love you, makers mark

And if you want to get to know me
You better shut your eyes
'Cause this face don't tell my story
And t

well we were shooting bottle rockets off the rooftop
up into sky just to watch em fly
drinkin till we fell right off the swingswet
midnight in the park
you and me and my maker smart

if you wanna get to know me
better shut yr eyes
for my face dont tell no stories

I was thinkin'
We could go North

Where they take care of their own
It might be better there for you

I could go along
If you want me to

Ooohh
Ooohh

Check out the river with its life and meaning
Fog is coming, night is near and I'm living low by the light of the earth

Once you said we'd meet again some summers day
For the record, you've been with me anyway
I'm feeling well living off the earth

All that summer the rain

Cause we belong together
We make our bed together
In a chemistry set, yes
We make the best of our lives, yes
We make our plans together
We take a chance together
In a chemistry set, yes
We make the best of our lives, yes

Why plastic burn on the other cheek

We wander through your city
We've traveled very far
We spend our hard-earned money at the bar

We can't afford a taxi
We shouldn't drive a car
And tomorrow, we return to the sea
Yes, tomorrow, return to the sea

I love you, dear old Robyn
I've loved you all alon

I'm living on the river once again
come calling on me when you can
been keeping to myself these days,
I guess you know
been wandering my own trail

been lost in the river
sand in the starry skies
it's a time of year for fireflies

been traveling away from the ey

The ghost of Anna Miller
Appeared beside the bed
She said, "I miss you officer, can't get you out my head."

It was a long, long time ago, you never know, you never know.

Now sometimes I hear her in the middle of the night
Doctor says I work too much, maybe he is right

I;'ve been hiding out
drawing pictures of sailboats
and bonzai trees
if you were here I would like to say
all would be fine, but I'd have to see

I've been thinking about Henry Darger alot the way he found in those worlds of his
but I've also been thinking of a different

Wind to give us music, moon to give us light
Deer to lead us to the river, we'll sleep here tonight

Maybe let's go swimming, yeah I think it's time
Holy water, holy water, clear my troubled mind

God I'm glad I met you, life was getting old
But you like me and my dark poet

the wind is warm
it shows us the way
the moon is full
the sky is gray
a train light
I see it far, far away
we travel tomorrow
we rest today

it's late, but not too late
all those images of battle from our younger days

let them go, let them go

Nobody knows my wild island rose
something so free
to wash my hands in the river and wait

I leave on a plane
and I can't remember where I been
It's good to be anonymous in the rain, sometimes

Oh, on the bay
come whisper us away
don't burn that bridge

Miss Caroline has beautiful friends
They open all the letters she sends
They pass in the hallways once in awhile
Most people don't notice their discrete little smiles

You may think you do
But you don't have a clue
It's a world you've gotta be born into
The lifestyle
