blowing every dandelion
turning every leaf
what's to love is all that's left
you don't skip a beat
going home to see mama
then we'll go to farm
hold my hand and look both ways
i'll carry your flowers
never thought you'd know my name
kills me every time
you laugh and shout it over again
your voice can make me cry
you'll always be my dandelion
i hold you in my heart
i pray to god his light will guide
keeping you from harm

ocean of truth
03:36
|

you can walk two moons
in another pair of boots
you can roam to the ends of the earth
you can take a south bound train
into someone else's brain
or wander the halls of your youth
but every winding road
leads back to you, you know?
every stream will flow to the ocean of truth
now the sun hangs low
and the water's golden glow
kisses your summer skin
come dusk you'll drive home
with an aching in your bones
demanding you leave her
picking up the pieces when you're gone
and what if the tears you're fighting off succumb?
suddenly the world around you
loses meaning
loves to taunt
so little grace
no gentle guiding
the universe is brash and blinding
sending you back into yourself
you can phone a friend
when you're tired and spent
hoping your spirits he can lift
when the call comes to a close
you'll find yourself alone
forced to finally let it all sink in
'cause every winding road
leads back to you, you know?
every stream will flow to the ocean of truth

blue

dreams of you still haunt my nights
i broke your heart and you lost mine
visions of your pale blue eyes
they take over my side
it's been so long now
i'm getting tired
i'm feeling worn
it's been so long
i love you
i need you
is it almost over?
is it almost over?
yesterday is out of time
it isn't fair, it isn't right
but you cannot love me in rewind
i told you that a hundred times
it won't be long now
i'm getting tired
i'm feeling worn
it won't be long
i love you
i need you
is it almost over?
is it almost over?
i'm sorry
i'm sorry
is it almost over?
is it almost over?
i miss you

how come every body is leaving?
how is it all gonna end?
i know this town is deceiving
still i would rather pretend
when the call came i was with steven
i thought it was another charade
took a panic attack to believe it
he held me in my disarray
for now
this town is all that's left
of you
and so i wander back again
learning how to lose is exhausting
everything reminds me of you
passing your shop down on third st
always the loneliest view
for now
this town is all that's left
of you
and so i wander back
for now
this song is all that's left
in me
and so i wander back
somewhere on the edge
of everything i've ever known
there's a house on a hill
with the porch lights beckoning me to come home

winter fangs
sink into the chorus
devouring a forest
of melody in flame
late spring rain
falls to wash the sorrow
the clouds will hang tomorrow
for all the hearts that yearn
they loom before they burn
sarah your heart sings just the same
trusty and true
through all the seasons and the change
nobody sings the way you do
long july
summer feels so hollow
how the hell should i know
if fall will come again?
if leaves will turn to red?
if fires gonna spread?
if all we are is dead?
sarah your heart sings just the same
trusty and true
through all the seasons and the change
nobody sings the way you do
i thought i wouldn't remember your name
but i do
i remember your name
i thought the city would change me
but i'm still the same
i am always the same
sarah your heart burns like a flame
in all that you do
through all the seasons and the change
nobody burns as bright as you

song to take with you
04:44
|
|||
through the years to come
i wish you all the best
i know i wasn't easy
i'll leave you with rest
a song to take with you
wherever life may lead
a melody so true
that makes you think of me
remember ellwood station?
that record i never made
remember university?
your dream that fell away
and all the many nights
we sat and watched the waves
dreaming up our lives
foreign cities, better days
i am
waiting
hoping
praying
that love's gonna make some sense of us
and time is on our side
to think of all the damage done
to know how hard you tried
but i let you down
through the years to come
i wish you all the best
so much i couldn't give to you
i pray you find the rest
a love to wash your feet
a man to kiss your hand
a friend amid defeat
someone who understands

where we come from
04:28
|
|||
you're not listening
it's gonna hurt you in the end
seems like arrogance
flows freely in the land
where we come from
what you're looking through
it's an out of focus lens
just a blurry view
that you share with all your friends
where we come from
29 is beautiful to drive
right around spring time
after the rains
but if you dare
to venture out somewhere
perhaps life could surprise you despite
where we come from
in the rolling hills
up above your neighborhood
there's a strange appeal
for those of us misunderstood
are you lonesome?
i am standing still
running circles in my mind
wishing i could feel
17 just one more time
i'm so lonesome
29 is beautiful to drive
right around spring time
after the rains
but if you dare
to venture out somewhere
perhaps life could surprise you despite
where we come from
burn it all
burn everything you have
none of it will last
anyways
start from scratch
let it drive you mad
someday it will be too late
to find
your place
in life
beyond the valley
where we come from
