Don't Hold Your Breath

Don’t hold your breath
This thing has never been on time
I spend most of them
With you standing in line
Look at the way it spins
And reflects the light
Don’t stare too long
It might ask you tonight
Oooh
Don’t hold your breath
This thing has never been on time
I spend most of them
With you standing in line
Look at the way it spins
And reflects the light
Don’t stare too long
It might trap you tonight

Autumn Leaves
03:20
|

You have been here so close to me
We’ve seen some things we weren’t meant to see
Children drowning in autumn leaves
The mountains crumbled into the sea
We were young but we’re older now
Its a Friday night and we’re going out
We made it home but we don’t know how
We fell asleep in the morning hours
Someone that we both once knew
Is this the end that its all coming to
You found a note and it caught your eye
It’s in a script that you recognize
It made you laugh and it made you cry
You feel relieved but you don’t know why
You see the sky from your living room
The moons the bride and the suns the groom
Lazarus is still in the tomb
He’ll never see the flowers in bloom
Now I’ve heard it all before
But the raven sits on my door
You have been here so close to me
We’ve seen some things we weren’t meant to see
A tiny owl with a thousand wings
Happy people on enormous screens

Disappear
03:47
|
|||
Counting stars on the beach
With the sand on your cold feet
Mourn the time we had that just disappeared
Got this table and chair
Sitting down anywhere
All the time we’ve spent just sitting here
See you talking to them all
It doesn’t look like talking at all
Then again nothing is what it seems
Now you’re making your home on the wind
And the road is your only friend
Got these markings on your hand
In a language that I don’t understand
All it marks is that its time to change
If they all were here to see
Would you mind if I take a seat
Turn around and see if I disappear
All the time we spent just sitting here
And the morning will come again
And the morning will come again
And I’ll see you old friend
Once again
And the morning will come again
And the morning will come again
And I’ll see you old friend
And I’ll see you old friend
Once again

Ghost Dance
03:37
|

Come quick darling
Come here what I dreamed
Hold me while I
Tell you all I seen
There was a voice inside the fire
Her words were lined with the stars
Said the fuel will soon depart
For the ghost dance
I looked up on
Mother life she rode the comets tail
Bluest sorrows
Filled her eyes somehow she felt she failed
She said love to you who’ve tried
But the green has left the vine
And I do believe it’s time
For the ghost dance
And her words fell pure as snow
On the empty hearts below
And mourned for when they broke
At the ghost dance
The drum beats sure and slow
And the embers left to glow
Draws all the weary souls
To the ghost dance

Ordinary Places
03:59
|

I don’t see you anymore
Selling magazines door to door
I though I saw you standing inside
Why don’t you come and sit for a while
I would trade our memories
To remember something sweeter
Just an ordinary place
Leave behind two empty graves
Ordinary places
I don’t see you anymore
Dirty magazines on my floor
The sun comes up then its down
Your time has come and its now
I would trade our memories
To remember something sweeter
Just an ordinary place
Leave behind two empty graves
Ordinary places
Ordinary places

Northern Sky
03:04
|

You’re the northern sky in wintertime
And I am a flock of geese
I’m a puzzle on the coffee table
And you are the missing piece
You’re the ending to a tall tale
That is too tall to believe
I thought that we had so much time
But it was stolen by thieves
I can’t tell you how long that its been
Since I have seen you my only friend
Was this your plan or coincidence
I need some time just wait
Samson was a warrior
Until Delilah cut his hair
Once there was great flood
But Noah came prepared
Moses went on the mountain
And wrote the rules down where he stood
Solomon built the temple
Judas would kiss you if he could
I can’t tell you how long that its been
Since I have seen you my only friend
Was this your plan or coincidence
I need some time just wait
You’re a skeleton in my closet
You’re a ghost that’s on the stairs
There’s a monster at the party
Nobody seems to care
The moon looks pretty scary
Hangin up there when its full
I’d rather see the sunrise
Over Paris or Istanbul
The truths not written on paper
Its written down in your heart
You’re the northern sky in wintertime
We are never far apart

When You Wake Up
03:15
|
|||
I can’t laugh at you now
I didn’t know that you were leaving
Been laughing so long
Didn’t notice I was bleeding
I was holding my breath
Underwater I was living
All these thoughts in your head
But you were only dreaming
When you wake up there’s a whole world ready for you
When you wake up there’ll be coffee made for two
When you wake up there’s a sunrise in your view
When you wake up all your dreams will be coming true
I can’t hide from you now
You always know where I have been
I never wanted to see
You walk around with him
It broke my heart in two
But at least its still beating
You were sleeping so long
I had to check if you were breathing
When you wake up there’s a whole world ready for you
When you wake up there’ll be coffee made for two
When you wake up there’s a sunrise in your view
When you wake up all your dreams will be coming true
Theres coffee on the table
I’m not sure if I am able
To remember what I won’t forget
So how do you take it
When you wake up there’s a whole world ready for you
When you wake up there’ll be coffee made for two
When you wake up there’s a sunrise in your view
When you wake up all your dreams will be coming true
Theres coffee on the table
Im not sure if I am able to see it

Black Water
05:34
|

The crops are bending in the summer heat
A brawl broke out down on Dixon street
A fighter bragging that he can’t be beat
Young boy rose up and he knocked out his teeth
Now there’s a devil in this little town
Cant stop the rumors from spreading around
They don’t realize their words do them harm
There was murder down at the Jackson’s farm
You talk so loud
Just let me speak
You look so proud
So just go to sleep
You’re looking down
But the well is deep
Coming out of the ground
Black water to drink
He had a motive and no alibi
But nobody saw him with their own two eyes
A shadow outlined a perfect pair
Two bodies found at the county fair
You talk so loud
Just let me speak
You look so proud
So just go to sleep
You’re looking down
But the well is deep
Coming out of the ground
Black water to drink
You talk so loud
Just let me speak
You look so proud
So just go to sleep
You’re looking down
But the well is deep
Coming out of the ground
Black water to drink
You talk so loud
You’ve lost your mind in the heat
You look so proud
The bloody fighter was beat
You’re looking down
But the well is deep
Coming out of the ground
Black Water to drink

Across The Great Plains
04:08
|

I never thought I’d see your face again
Its why I had to set out across the plains
I’m coming close and I’ll see you in time again
Until I saw the Sierra-Nevada range
I thought I’d take a look outside
All of the children are terrified
They’ve never seen these things before
These hooves and horns
They look like monsters that walk on all fours
In 1865 we won the war
Had to give up on what we believed
I took up with the 5th of Baltimore
We took em down from Richmond to New Orleans
I thought about you all the time
As the war went marching by
It didn’t matter who won or lost
Or the damaged caused
They tore our brothers and our sisters apart
Looking out ones East and one was West
Such a sight will bring you to your knees
I thought about you everyday
I wrote you letters on the train
And now I’m lost here in the dark
Under the stars
I heard
