roll it back again there's some things i missed around the bend see i'm trying to help myself but there's some things that i can't do without words to ease a worry, acts to kill each fury and an afterglow that helps me hear songs of time and space and a place so i can see details of a face that might display the love i need tossing with each turn that's alright, that's the way i learn if there's someone to ignore there's gotta be someone to adore words to soothe a swoon, coming home soon, pictures of growing up words to ease a worry, acts to kill each fury and an afterglow that helps me hear songs of time and space and a place so I can see details of a face that might display the love I need details of a face way out east with dancing leaves details of a grace that might just be everything I need

nourish me 03:06
our best writing comes when we're away her best painting, no one's ever seen so don't nourish me 'cause i don't wanna be fed no death in airplanes anymore, don't fall out of the wagon keep your lorry on the road, you might hit a stander-by poverty has art and riches burn success you wonder why i'm like this, it's 'cause i'm from the west so don't nourish me 'cause i don't wanna be fed no death in airplanes anymore, don't fall out of the wagon keep your lorry on the road, you might hit a stander-by

river blue 04:17
wanna float on down, give it away let the oars dip back and forth and if i go too far, i'll find a place far from the girl that just scratched at my world and maybe i'll sleep where the grasses twirl a little lull, going slow; faces of the letting go i'm almost there and i hear voices as i'm drawing near the river blue you're everything i've dreamt of your pace is bold you are the story that heals a soul a slithering old slipstream, behold the river blue the colours run in through the leaves like heaven the many moons, the clouds that pass like afternoons and the stones and weeds beneath my feet will hold this river true blue river blue.

morning grey 04:15
lying awake, dressed in morning grey and already worn out from the coming day drive on down the road, coffee cup in tow past a barn of fading paint and fields of falling snow tossed aside, cursed to a caving mine only keeping warm by fires of remember the time one night to drift away to a familiar place but when i woke up in her arms i felt too sad to stay i guess i don't belong the nights are dull and so long there's so much here to lend and to mend until then, I'll just drag my broken, tattered, lonely heart to the bedside of a girl who'll try to carve out her name in a pumping vein that hasn't died

cloudfully 03:28
one day in a backyard, i'll come home to you we'll drink in shade and smile as the hyacinths bloom and we're feeling fine in our lives rosy and satisfied and every time i look up at the sky there's style the baby blue, the summer birds flying wild and if we spend some time at sea, we'll marvel in the ocean deep hat do you think about it? what am i gonna do? w what would you think about this if this was all for you? in midnight light at circus heights, you're shimmering and all our cares, they'll fly like kites and tumbleweed warm visions of a perfect sight before we sleep a wonderer who likes to write of these dreams, that's me
6.
seedy eyes, somewhere under the weather bleeding hides somewhere under long fur it takes hold and it's wrong and wrong and wrong it's strong when it stares all day long cries that burn themes of now and never the written lines on my face forever they're long but i try and try and try memory resides in the archives of this wicked mind as low as we are as low as we are.
7.
swan song 02:46
there is a shipwreck in the ocean where you knew me and though it's lonely now, it is strong well the weather vanes are symbols of our changing and i will follow the direction of the wind. if there's a lonesome tear running down my face i there's a sadness that joins the thinning days it's just the first day of fall, and I've embraced but there's a past I can't escape the beginning of the season spells your swan song you are a fallen tree in the field where we would play i returned from that voyage where i'd right wrongs It took some time to clear the cobwebs in my way if I shiver like a fire by the old brook If I sing with the choir about my outlook it's just the first day of fall and I'll give my all to ensure my own happiness won't fall
8.
there is no news when i open my door let the cool air through and stay inside it looks like a purple evening the sky arrives when i drag my lazy limbs to start through the towns i've known but left behind and they're always there to greet me and these things i write will help me through each drive at sunrise the light burns when i ride these no-memory trails. i'll risk getting lost amongst the rails all this solitude, all these horse-drawn wayd going backwards a hundred years in may until all the hay fields dry up or turn to clay know that i'm right here, hoping I see you one day at sunrise. gold shaded a.m. clouds have gladly opened rolling past the fading small town signs clouring the dawn that looks like it's been drawn just above the straight concession lines waiting for a presence to fall from the heavens so when i'm through i won't be all alone and on my own on my own on my own

roxton 03:57
i should be well on my way it's just that the sundown comes later these days nothing stays good forever and i've got proof when i get my feet under me, the ground moves and I'm not a soldier back to the candles at night like pastels of orange and blue and firelight but don't let 'em smother you and turn back all the clocks from the wintertime, you'll always lose and I'm getting older. I'm getting older here. bound by those arms again in the bellwoods wide open space when what you've imagined appears to sing all your fears of tomorrow storm in and your body breaks
10.
it was out of reach in shadows 'til a foreign spoon stirred up a bowl of doom how quick it came on a plane how it sloped behind and stopped me on a dime burden, burden of my mind it was out of touch in locked rooms but the worst of you can catch you like a flu if i'm sane, i'd contain and nothing would become of this parade yeah, nothing would become of this malaise today
11.
light bright 03:26
pulling from the road into a deep sleep almost reborn like a baby and i awoke in the cold wondering why and everything rose above the white blankets of fresh fallen snow it was all so bright, festive lights we used to know with her heart in my hands, on and on they'll glow it was all so bright, shining like we used to know with my heart in her hands, on and on they'll glow
12.
they say that out of the deep depths of misfortune comes bliss and after sourness comes sweet and light shines after darkness he said that hope is nothing but paint on the face of existence and they say that fire refines gold, so suffering refines virtue yeah they do, with faith so i'm just holding on knowing that i'm not as strong as i was when i was young these days are long he said that though your garden's grey all your graces will someday flower and after your darkest hour you'll be better, you'll be great you'll be great in every way so i'm just holding on knowing that i'm not as strong as i was when i was young these days are long these days are long
13.
nightfall, bless these streets let the stray dogs sleep cobblestone just helps the racket pens shake as ink seeps rattle and sway rattle and sway the night away can this shake a fear? these aching bones floating by so magically merrily, merrily, merrily
