Mocking Bird, Mocking Bird
Won't you sing to me?
Let your notes fly fast and true
As they ring down from your tree
Loose the lines from time to time
And let the tune run free
Mocking Bird, Mocking Bird
Won't you sing to me
Silhouette, Silhouette
Won't you come to life?
I've drawn you out a thousand times
But the ink has never dried
And Lord I know it's hard to hold
The hand of an outline
Silhouette, Silhouette
Won't you come to life
Time and again I find the road I'm walking
Ain't a strange to the face of my heel
And time and again I find I keep on locking
My heart out the way that I feel
Honey if you're scared
That you're going nowhere
I hope you know I'll meet you there
Acrobat, Acrobat
Dance me through your hoops
Lace me up and down with secrets
Of your circus troupe
And should your tent come tumbling down
You can join me in the zoo
Acrobat, Acrobat
Dance me through your hoops
Matador, Matador
Sharpen up your blade
Stick it through that part of you
That hides under your cape
Pretty soon the bulls will stir
From the bed you made
Matador, Matador
Sharpen up your blade
Time and again I find the road I'm walking
Ain't a strange to the face of my heel
And time and again I find I keep on locking
My heart out the way that I feel
Honey if you're scared
That you're going nowhere
I hope you know I'll meet you there

Wavelord

Lay down in my bed and I'm sinking through the floor
Ground has opened up and I'm sinking to the core
And the worms are at my fingers
And the world's a total bore
And that awful feeling lingers
I can't take it anymore
Walking into town as the sky begins to burn
Losing what I found and forgetting what I learned
And the clouds obscure the sunlight
As the night time takes it's turn
All the proud are always forthright
But they never say a word
If I leave in the morning
Or if I leave in the night
If I leave in the night
If I leave without warning
Would you be alright?
Lay down in my bed and the room begins to shake
The ceiling peels away and I'm up in outer space
And the stars whistle past me
As I'm frozen in my place
All the scars that entrap me
Are inching towards my face

Sing-Along

The snow is falling down
But I don't even care
It chills me to the bone
And whitens up my hair
Honey if you're cold
You know I'll keep you warm
It looks like you're doing fine
In the eye of the storm
As the lovers lose their lips
I'm falling up the stairs
And as the climbers lose their grips
They plummet on down to Lord knows where
Honey if you fall
You know I'll catch your cord
But there ain't no peaks that I can see
In the eye of the storm
The roof is caving in upon my head
But the walls are still standing strong
At times I feel my life is made of lead
Weighed down by the song
If I sing for you
Won't you sing along?
There's respite in the roses
There's rapture in the air
I've got rivers that run through me
As the sun dances down upon your hair
Honey if you're waiting
For me to be reborn
Save me a spot next to you
In the eye of the storm
The roof is caving in upon my head
But the walls are still standing strong
At times I feel my life is made of lead
Weighed down by the song
If you sing for me
You know I'll sing along

Arms of the Ocean

I live in a box without any walls
Forests are grown from the waters that fall
The trees branch out and fill with snow
The snow falls down and so the forest grows
I live in a box without any roof
We're all spinning round and we're all passing through
The moon comes up when the day is done
A man grows up to be his son
And if you want to know where you're going
Just take a look back at where you're from
I live in a box without any floor
The sunken all find their way to the shore
A murky shroud or a mask of clay
The arms of the ocean are gonna have their way
And if you want to know where you're going
Just take a look back at where you're from
I live in a box without any air
No ink for my pen, no legs for my chair
The wind is just a breeze and a breeze is just that
All that we have is where ever we're at
And if you want to know where you're going
Just take a look back at where you're from

Lullaby

It's been quite a few days
The world's been looking grey
The things I long to say
Get caught and thrown away
You're talking in your sleep
My restless soul to keep
I'm just so incomplete
I think I've sprung a leak
Help me find my way back home again
Help me find my way back home again
Before I fall back to sleep
The clouds have floated off
And they'll keep rolling on
But who's to say their gone?
And who's to say I'm wrong?
So linger for a while
And leave me with your smile
The actor's been reviled
He's just a frightened child
Help me find my way back home again
Help me find my way back home again
Before I lose that trial
All the ghosts that I forsake take my hand and hold it tight
And every move you're gonna make, won't you make them in the light?
Because the view ain't very clear
At least it's not from here
And oh my darling dear
I just want to be near you
To try and be sincere

I found myself walking across the ocean
Pretty soon that ocean was a stream
And I dropped myself down into that water, Oh Lord
Because underwater is all I'll ever be
Underwater is all I'll ever be
I found myself walking across a valley
That valley opened up and swallowed me
And I dug myself down into that rubble, Oh Lord
Because underground is all I'll ever be
Underground is all I'll ever be
Blessed are the dreamers, who can't seem to fall asleep
Blessed are the wild and the weak
Blessed are the stolen ones and blessed are the thieves
And blessed are the things you give to me
Blessed are the things you give to me
I found myself walking across a mountain
Everything was all that I could see
And I found myself falling off that mountain, Oh Lord
Because in the clouds is all I'll ever be
In the clouds is all I'll ever be
And I found myself walking across a forest
Suddenly the wind came through the trees
And I lost myself somewhere in that forest, Oh Lord
Because in the woods is all I'll ever be
In the woods is all I'll ever be
Blessed are the dreamers, who can't seem to fall asleep
Blessed are the wild and the weak
Blessed are the stolen ones and blessed are the thieves
And blessed are the things you give to me
Blessed are the things you give to me

No Man's Land
05:44
|

If I fell asleep in your arms
Would you throw me out of your bed?
When I'm wide awake in your eyes
Will I still be dreaming in your head?
If I took the ribs of the woods
And filled them with the breath of the night
Could I spin you out of the trees?
Would you fall away in the light?
I know it might seem I'm running
But darling can't you see I'm standing still?
And I have found a home in no man's land
Living like a hermit in the hills
Every song I ever wrote is here
Every word I ever spoke is here
Every lie I ever heard is here
Everyone I ever hurt is here
If the stars decided to fall
Would you put them back in their place?
Would you make a story of them all?
A vision of your life in outer space?
When you find that all you know is wrong
And the answer lingers just out of sight
Will you have a drink and carry on?
Or heave a sigh and fall into the night?

Wire Figures

The snow is laughing gently at my window
I guess it's here to stay
Every breath a respiratory limbo
You know, it could go either way
I've got nothing left to say dear
I've got nothing left to say
Can we try another way dear?
Can you leave another day?
If I started following you backwards
Could I find a place to live?
And if I started talking to you forward
Would you tell me where it is?
Is it somewhere that I've seen dear?
Is it somewhere that I know?
Is it somewhere close to me dear?
Is it out there in the snow?
Misty night, trees are wire figures
Conducting in the cold
Ice is melting, dripping from my fingers
And stripping back my soul
Man I don't need your worries
I've got plenty of my own
I'm afraid I have to hurry
Before I turn to stone
