Ashes on Your Eyes

  • May. 8th, 2009 at 4:01 PM
Just about the time your heart breaks like a wheel
Not in a straight line, but all in pieces
Some you'll leave behind on a road you won't revise
No, you won't revisit that dirty compromise.

Now you only dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet
Baby, the ashes just look pretty on your eyes.

So look up, up ahead
The city lights are dancing for you
Or is it the aurora burning of the edges of the sky?
Don't cry, don't cry
That's all over now.

Now you only dream in peaceful blue...

Dry your wings in the sun
You have only begun to understand
When it's time to move on there is no one
To hold your hand.
So let go, let go, let go.

Here the night is fine
The stars are sparks of steel
Chiseled in the mines of twilight
You tell me something real, say
"Don't try, don't try
Just remember how, remember, remember"

Now you only dream in peaceful blue...

Old Coyote

  • May. 8th, 2009 at 3:59 PM
Old Coyote waits out there
With his gray-brown hair and his three-mile stare
I walk backwards trhough the air
Devil may care, the devil may care now

Ring around rosey game
Always ends the same way
We all fall down
Get up now, baby, get up now, baby
It's your song, it's your song playing

Vision of Mary in converse shoes
She's putting down roots and stars she shoots out
I am crying on her couch
Talking in tongues when the words won't come out

Ring around rosey game
Always ends the same way
We all fall down
Get up now, baby, get up now, baby
It's your song, it's your song playing

Old Coyote's faking sleep
Not counting sheep on the watch he keeps
We bring springtime into bloom inside these rooms
And outside under the moon

Ring around rosey game
Always ends the same way
We all fall down
Get up now, baby, get up now, baby
It's your song, it's your song playing

The Saltwater Room

  • Mar. 24th, 2009 at 7:05 PM
I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren’t there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt around my arms and began to shiver violently
Before you happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground
All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue: farewell
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

Chorus:
(Time together is just never quite enough)
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
(What will it take to make or break this hint of love?)
We need time, only time
(When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?)
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
(So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?)
All the time, all the time

Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on?
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lights
I guess I’ll never know why sparrows love the snow
We’ll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
(So tell me darlaing do you wish we'd fall in love)
(All the time)

Chorus:
(Time together is just never quite enough)
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
(What will it take to make or break this hint of love?)
We need time, only time
(When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?)
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
(So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?)
All the time, all the time

(Time together is just never quite enough)
(When we're apart whatever are you thinking of?)
(What will it take to make or break this hint of love?)
(So tell me darlaing do you wish we'd fall in love)
(All the time)

I Believe in a thing Called Love

  • Sep. 13th, 2008 at 11:37 PM
Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel
My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel

Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day
You got me in a spin but everythin' is A.OK!

Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh! Guitar!

Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

In the House of Stone and Light

  • Sep. 13th, 2008 at 9:17 PM
O Mount Kailas
Uncover me
Come my restoration
Wash my body clean
I've been walking
Along a crooked path
Where the walls have fallen
And broken me in half
I'm telling you
I will not rest till I
lay down my head
I'm gonna go
In the house of stone and light
I shall not cry for the
blindman I leave behind
When I go
In the house of stone and light
In the house of stone and light
Holy lady
Show me my soul
Tell me of the place
Where I must surely go
Old man waiting
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/7Vs4 ]
At the gates for me
Give me the wisdom
Give me the key

[ Chorus: ]
I'm telling you
I will not rest till I
lay down my head
In the house of stone and light
I make my way O gonna be
such a beautiful day
In the house of stone and light
In the house of stone and light
Let me in beneath my skin
In the house of stone and light
It's been too long
My spirit's been at war
Havasupai Shaman
Let me be reborn
And I will embrace the sun upon my face
Come the day I awake
the child inside
In the house of stone and light
And when I go I will
op - open my eyes
In the house of stone and light
I will see you
In the house of stone and light
I'm looking in beneath my skin
In The House Of Stone And Light
