September Sun
03:08

All the world hangs heavy on the vine
A ripeness you can feel inside
I'm fading but my spirit is in bloom
September sun
I see the way the light hits your face
Shadows strong enough to leave a trace
A mortal's taste of eternity
September sun
Red wine
How it runs
Stay here with me
in the September sun
All the world can hear the curtain call
A beckoning, the children must return
Say goodnight 'cause winter's coming soon
September moon
Red wine
How it runs
Stay here with me
My Love
Red wine
How it runs
Stay here with me
in the September sun
Still there is a softness in the breeze
And golden light shines on us through the leaves
Honey-drenched and etched in memory
September sun

Heavy Hangs the Crown
04:02
|
|||
|
Heavy hangs the crown
Eyes cast towards the ground
And all the things we love
Will be our undoing soon enough
A burden or a gift
Either way too much for me to lift
You don't know a thing
About the trouble that I'm in
Fall without a sound
Heavy hangs the crown
I know that I've done wrong
I've waited too damn long
But I'm trying to make this right
Trying to get myself back in this fight
Something in you reminds
Me of things I've lost
and thought
that I would never find
You don't know a thing
About the trouble that I bring
Fall without a sound
Heavy hangs the crown
Cut through the static like a bolt
(A pair of hands around your throat)
Keep on running until I'm broken
(And it feels like you're about to choke)
Face the one thing you've been running from
Only then will this be done
You don't know a thing
About the trouble that I'm in
Fall without a sound
Heavy hangs the crown
You don't know a thing
About the trouble that I bring
Fall without a sound
Heavy hangs the crown

Lover's Prayer
03:27
|
|||
|
I quit drinking because
There is always a reason
To remember and to forget
Now I'm thinking too much
And alone in my head
On my third cup of coffee at 3am
And I don't want to sleep
Because that would be easy
I don't want to dream
Because it always brings me
To you
To you
I am walking these streets
In the light that is leaving
It's an ache that I've got memorized
All the birds have gone home
Singing songs of departure
This vast separation, I feel it inside
And silently I hold
This hope of reunion
The promise of spring like
A lover's prayer
To you
To you
And I don't want to sleep
Because that would be easy
I don't want to dream anymore
'Cause it brings me
To you
To you
To you
To you

Like a Leaf
02:05
|
|||
|
I'm waiting for the light to change
This world is beautiful and strange
Darkness waits, a deep embrace
I want to fall like a leaf
Oh my love, been waiting
For the light to change
My gown is made of Queen Anne's lace
My hair is spun of golden grain
It's lonely here, but I'm at peace
It's time to fall like a leaf
Oh my love, been waiting
For my life to change
I want to fall
Like a leaf
Oh my love, been waiting
For the light to change
For my life to change

You are gonna break my heart
He always had the gift to know
Which way the wind was going to blow
Keener sight, intuition
They stayed away from superstition
She was the one who didn't care
And lived her life like she'd been dared
Cigarette between her lips
She said 'I hear you're dangerous'
You are gonna break my heart
You are gonna break my heart
And if I told you that I've seen
You my whole life inside my dreams
That your story's in my veins
Would you turn your head away?
She laughed and looked him in the eye
And said 'my love that's no surprise
Promise this, if we're condemned
Don't tell me how this will end'
You are gonna break my heart
You are gonna break my heart
All the time with you will never be enough
You are gonna break my heart
I saw sparks
I saw sparks
I saw sparks
And if you only get one chance
A single night, a single dance
Don't you let it slip away
Don't let it slip away
You are gonna break my heart
You are gonna break my heart
All the time with you will never be enough
You are gonna break my heart
You are gonna break my heart...

Circles
03:37
|
|||
|
The currents run, electric hum
The galaxy's own melody
A long look back over your shoulder
Space is a curve, the stars have learned
But yet we resist every turn
You know you only want to hold her
And we go 'round in circles again
And we go 'round in circles again
We spend our lives thinking in lines
Progress, a forward march through time
Always losing or winning
The serpent's tale is in its mouth
There's no way in, there's no way out
You wonder why and I'll keep spinning
And we go 'round in circles again
And we go 'round in circles again
And we go 'round in circles again
And we go 'round in circles again
'Round and 'round
'Round and 'round we go

Song for Somnus
01:54
|
|||
|
Now I lay me down to sleep
But Somnus never comes
I long for waters dark and deep
And I am skipping like a stone
My mind is playing tricks on me
And I can't get to sleep
I'm seeing things that can't be real
The phone's about to ring
Figures smiling in the black
Dismantling my sanity
My mind is playing tricks on me
And I can't get to sleep
Somnus come, take me to your room
Lay me down, snowy gown
The morning's coming soon
My lover rests, his rhythmic breath
Turns gently in his dreams
While I'm at war, quarter of four
As lonely as a soul can be
As lonely as a soul can be
While Somnus smiles mockingly
My mind is playing tricks on me
And I can barely sleep
My mind is playing tricks on me
And I can't get to sleep
Somnus come, take me to your room

Long Night Coming
02:54
|
|||
|
A long night is coming
Full of things that hurt
And if I make it through
Then I will prove my worth
It's time to meet the gaze now
The music must be faced
The mirror's had enough
Of you looking away
And I'm scared to put my cards down on the table
To show how weak my hand has really been
But I know how this will go if I don't soon get control
And show my demons who the boss is
There's no such thing as rock bottom
That darkness knows no depth
It likes the taste of you
And wants you as its pet
Where there is a hunger
That no man or food can quell
You know there's work that must be done
And you must save yourself
And I'm scared to put my cards down on the table
To see what kind of person I've become
But I'm pushing over stones so sunlight can hit the cold
And something green and beautiful might grow
And I'm tired of all the talking
This world that's full of shadow and disguise
I'm opening my chest so finally I can rest
And honesty can look me in the eye

Tuesday Night
04:03
|
|||
|
Working late again
On a Tuesday night
And the train's running late
She'd rather walk than wait
Feeling trapped inside
An accidental life
Still behind on the bills
Is this how life's supposed to feel
And down a darkened alleyway
She hears the music play
Hears it play
Doorman lets her in
With a knowing glance
And she's drawn to the stage
While shadowed dancers sway
Call it mystery
Thank the fates or chance
On a Tuesday night
A certain song can save your life
And for a moment they are lost
On a Tuesday night
On a Tuesday night
Just a Tuesday night
On a Tuesday night
On the surface we
Can spend our days
While the crushing routine
Drains the life from the dream
But there's magic in
This mundanity
Walking home next you know
You could be tumbling down that rabbit hole
Where you'll remember what you are
On a Tuesday night
On a Tuesday night
Just a Tuesday night
On a Tuesday night
Tuesday night, night

For Beauty's Sake
03:32
|
|||
|
Always plagued by vague anxieties
Past regret and fleeting memories
(I didn't know how far I could fall)
(Until I nearly lost it all)
I fly my ship and crash it on the rocks
Waltzing with this ancient paradox
(To know the darkness and the light)
(To walk with them both by my side)
Yes, your heart will break
And only then realize the stakes
Only love can soothe the ache
Chase beauty for beauty's sake
When chaos seems much more than I can stand
A quiet song reminds me who I am
(The way he looks at me)
(The way he makes me believe)
A field of flowers dancing in the wind
The moonlit sky, a distant violin
(Forgives the day its sins)
(Moments of timelessness)
Yes, your heart will break
And only then realize the stakes
Only love can soothe the ache
Only love can soothe the ache
Only love can soothe the ache
I'll chase beauty for beauty's sake

Some Crazy Dream
03:14
|
|||
|
We're all in the gutter
But some are looking up
The odds will make you shudder
Are you passing through or stuck
All the things that could have been
Just won't do for me
Tell me that I'm brave
Or call it stupidity
Ask the fates for kindness
All along the trip
Plead with gravity
To release its iron grip
Walking close to the edge
Be careful not to slip
I'll take my chance with happenstance
And hold on with clenched fists to
Some crazy dream
It's not as crazy as it seems
You find out the hard way down
That no one really cares
A thousand fathers of success
An orphan when you fail
An embarrassment of riches
To have someone waiting there
To take your hand through storm and stand
At your side when you sail
Sometimes it's better not to know
What you're getting into
So it is the burden and the joy
Of golden youth
Run until the sun goes down
Looking for some truth
But if you knew how hard it'd be
Would you ever choose
Some crazy dream
It's not as crazy as it seems
Some crazy dream
It's not as crazy as it seems
