Deep Time
03:46
|
|||
Down by the beach in November
the sand on our feet is so cold.
No one will know what they’re saying.
No one will say what they know.
Deep time,
deep time.
About the time our eyes met
we’d tried it.
Before the words began to form
we’d said it all.
Future became history.
All the things you’ll say to me
are written on the wall.

Don't Come Home
03:57
|

There’s someone you depend on.
There’s a place that you can go.
There’s a time you can go outside.
But there’s still so much to know.
Don’t come home.
They can’t know
the way things changed,
where you go.
You’ll break and own
the whole damn show.
You’ll be living here
the sun’s last glow.
Open wide the gates on main street
Find those cats we thought we owned.
Paint it up just like the 70s
Noodle soup and heavy phones.
Don’t come home.
They won’t know.
How things change.
You should go.
You’ll have to run
the whole damn show
You’ll be living as
their son’s last glow.
Waves of buffalo
Rows of elm trees
Glaciers in the mountains
Clear blue waters
There is someone to depend on.
There is a place to go.
There’s a time to go outside.
But there’s still so much to do.
Don’t come home.
They can’t know
the way things changed,
where you go.
You’ll break and own
the whole damn show.
You’ll be living here
the sun’s last glow.
There’s...

Not Before Too Long
02:39
|
|||
On the road
if you’re careful you go slow.
Once you get your rhythm back
your mind’s the thing that goes.
Listen to the trees
whisper secrets in the breeze.
They can see a future
that will bring you to your knees.
Listen to the river
say what it wants to say.
Catch the clouds' message
before they fade away.
Watch the sunshine
flicker out a song.
Run into the meadow:
your home not before too long.

When The Morning Comes
03:16
|
|||
When daylight comes
we will stand up tall,
backs to the sun.
When a new day comes
we’ll hold our hands
out to everyone.
When the morning comes
you lift your eyes
but you won’t run.
What’s done is done.
Now brace yourself
for what’s to come.
When freedom falls
we will help it up
and tear down walls.
When names are called
we will reflect the shame
back on them all.
When the morning comes
you lift your eyes
and you won’t run.
What’s done is done.
Now brace yourself
for what’s to come.
This land is your land
this land is my land.
This land is your land
this land is my land.
When ignorance reigns
we will spread the truth
without constraints.
Our faith is gone.
In its place
hard facts,
hard won.
When the morning comes
you lift your eyes
and you won’t run.
What’s done is done.
Now brace yourself
for what’s to come.
This land is your land,
this land is my land
This land is my land,
this land is your land.

Never Taking Off
02:44
|

Back before she figured you,
she danced beside you two by two.
Shared a world of thought and hope and reason.
You thought you saw her there,
running fingers through her hair.
It's a dream.
Dream.
"Wonderful," she said to me,
"keep on being who you wanna be.
But this is my stop.
I'm getting off."
Beautiful she is to me.
Still have the key she gave to me.
It's on a chain
I'm never taking off.
Another person lived with you.
You went together two by two.
Shared a world of thought and hope and reason
Taught the person how to be.
One day she woke and she was free.
It's a dream.
Dream.
"Wonderful," she said to me.
"Keep on being who you wanna be.
But this is my stop.
I'm getting off."
Beautiful she is to me.
Still have the key she returned to me.
It's on a chain
I'm never taking off.
I don't want to float away.
And I don't want to overstay.
"Wonderful," she said to me,
"keep on being who you wanna be.
But this is my stop,
and this is where I'm getting off."
Beautiful she is to me.
Still have the key she returned to me.
It's on a chain
I'm never taking off.
Beautiful she is to me.
Still have the key she returned to me.
It's on a chain
I'm never taking off.

When You Get There
01:56
|

On the trail
no one comes for you.
On the trail
no one asks for you.
When you get there
you crumble to the ground.
When you get there
you want to be found.

Left Behind
03:00

Coming from the valley below
I don’t know your ways
up where the trees sway.
Let me tell you why tonight
below your clearer night sky.
I’ve been on the road
since the outbreak.
Will you be the first
friend I make?
Will you share your water
and your bread with
someone half dead?
I’ve got something to share with you:
she left it and she meant it too.
It’s yours until the day you find
what it means to be left behind.

Just As Beautiful

Norway's got a mountain
without a name.
It rises above the ocean
just the same.
And if you saw it...
it's just as beautiful.
It's just as beautiful.

Shoulda Grown Outta This
02:57
|

Hey,
did you ever wake up
in a strange place?
Hey,
were you ever unsure
it it was dawn or dusk
from the light outside?
Hey,
did you ever forget that the sun shines?
Hey,
were you ever surprised
to feel the wind
on your skin?
Sometimes I step back light years
and see what everyone fears:
That I'm a moment in space
and I'm a moment in time
and that makes everything fine.
But I shoulda grown outta this.
I shoulda grown outta this.
I shoulda grown outta this by now.
I shoulda grown outta this.
I shoulda grown outta this by now.
Hey,
did you ever wonder
what your name is?
Hey,
did you ever find out
a memory
was just a photograph?
Hey,
did you ever forget about the sunshine?
Hey,
were you ever surprised
at the feel of the wind
on your skin?
Sometimes I step back light years
and see what everyone fears:
That I'm a moment in space
and I'm a moment in time
and that makes everything fine.
But I shoulda grown outta this.
I shoulda grown outta this.
I shoulda grown outta this by now.
I shoulda grown outta this.
I shoulda grown outta this by now.

Making Plans
02:22

Sitting in the dark,
making plans.
Feeling our own way.
Holding hands.
Hands.
Holding hands.
Plans.
Making plans.
Out into the sun.
Holding back.
The circle closes in
around the band.
Holding hands.
Back.
Holding back.
Out into the sun.
Holding back.
The circle closes in
around the band.
Holding hands.
Back.
Holding back.
Hands.
Holding hands.
Plans.
Making plans.

In The Back Of Your Mind
01:52
|

In the back of your mind:
Taking care of the young.
In the back of your mind:
Taking care of the old.
In the back of your mind:
Taking care of yourself.
In the back of your mind, in the back of your mind.
