Something in the Spring

Something in the spring
It pulls me back against the wall
Something about exhaust and roadsand, bike wheels and romance
Makes it hard to stand
I’m sure there’s times it feels I’m fading
I'm sure there’s hard times too
I sure had dreams in making lost friends
But now, those dreams are gone like you
Nothing like winter’s final breath
And her last quip it splits and falls between us
All those frozen moments thaw
And they claw the iron walls that couldn’t keep us
I’m sure there’s times it feels I’m fading
I’m sure there’s hard times too
I sure had dreams in making lost friends
But now, those dreams are gone too
Nothing like winter’s final grip
And her coiled fingers slip just to release us
All those frozen moments thaw
And they claw the iron walls that couldn’t keep us
Once in time so discreetly, I might
Once in time so discreetly, I might
Once in time so discreetly, I might
Once in time so discreetly, I might

Thank You

I remember by the time it came out right
Hadn’t even taken time to adjust my sight
Told a bottle that I’d learn to hate it
Think I saw something running past the back porch light
Too tired to be driving on the dark roads
It’s home if I can make it
Never understood such honest things
Never really learned the words to thank you
Once I wrote some lines
For a play before your time
And you said you saw leaves
Falling from the cloud
Pluming from the trees
I said I don’t believe you
When you tell me that you fell
But as it turns out
It was me who couldn’t take it
Never understood such honest things
I can still feel it
Dancing in the room
The end about to bloom
We discussed huffing dust from the chalkboard sill
Drank ink from the well and still
Couldn’t offer you blanket
Never understood such honest things
Never even wrote the words to thank you
I’m driving out to another town
Signed a letter and it reached you well
And I left it for another day
Heard they told you I was ill
And I never really fell
Spoke words I’d never say
Believed I may as well have passed away
And I never got the chance to thank you
Never understood such honest things

Lonely Choir

Well I keep my head up high
Before turning into glass
It seems these days I’m worried
Both feet stuck in the past
It’s easily I’m fed up with it
How it always comes out fast
And I might be catching on
So I keep up pressing on
Keep my suitcase in a daydream
Tape the switch down for the light
Paint pictures of my ceiling
Like the stars I see at night
Vibrations from the record whining
Shake the spring from in my eyes
And I think I’m catching on
Yes I think I’m catching on
The lonely choir
Facing the midnight
Swinging from it’s wire
And I try to tell the time
The window in the carpet crying
Weighing the rain as cars go by
And laying I’m sighing
I fear I may as well resign
The lonely choir
Chasing the lamplight
Singing, feeling tired
As the night slowly declines
And rising higher
Falling from moonlight
Fading ‘til retired
As I try to tell the time

Funny Weather
04:05

There’s some strange feeling it comes right down
And I don’t know why
It’s like old smoke thats been blown around
And it comes right in
Straight through
Straight through straight through
Straight through
The walls keep painting themselves all brown
And I can’t think why
Now I hear laughing at my front door
Some cloud from the sky
So I let him in
And he makes me grin
It’s funny weather so come right down now
You’re funny weather so come right down now
It’s funny weather so come right down now
It’s funny weather so come right
Straight through
Straight through straight through
Straight through
Such a strange feeling it comes right now
I can’t explain why
And I’m left here alone with I, myself
When i look outside
When did the sky get high
If it’s raining now
Why can’t I hear its sound
It’s funny weather so come right down now
You’re funny weather so come right down now
It’s funny weather so come right down now
You’re funny weather so come right down now
Blow straight through
Straight through, straight through
Straight through

Another Year
05:47
|

I see it as I’m walking by
Cold rolling eyes across a golden sky
It takes guts for sizing up a mountain breeze
Takes too much time to measure policy
It’s not something I believe
But reasons I can’t sleep
It’s just a turning point to bleed
For reasons unforeseen
Another year of burning down
Another sidestep sweeps the town
Another dog dead in the heat
And I’m so free
Yet again appointed fantasy
Gets caught knee deep in filth and make believe
A river flowed for cups of kerosene
Yet never tasted something so sweet
Not wanting to be seen
Left burnt on cracked concrete
With rubber boots and suntan cream
I swear its unforeseen
Another year comes burning down
What an unfamiliar sound
Another sight unmet sunseen
And we’re so free
(I’m so free)

Keep Trying
03:12

It’s hazy as these satin nights roll by
Breaking like the heavens over high
You ask me how the sun goes dancing down again
And I’m just quiet while you speak your mind
Have you been here the whole time?
And I chipped my tooth at the diner too
I wonder if you know the time
(INSTRUMENTAL)
But I’ll keep trying as long as I’m alive
‘Cause things ain’t always easy in the end
And I’ll keep quiet repeat another night
And call it there and back again
And I’ll keep time like speeding past the signs
Well I think I’m making things make sense
And if you too believe the things you do
Well let’s just laugh it off my friend
Well let’s just laugh it off my friend
Well let’s just laugh it off my friend

Blue & Yellow
03:41

There’s only so much looking you can do
It carries on
And I always had some hunch that I would end up leaving too
Now you’ve spent all your time
How would you feel if you had mine
Is that too much to ask right now
Is each new day not blue and yellow
There’s cheap green sheets and bleach stains that splotch my mind
It carries on
And seems to me that all this looking sees is there’s not much left to find
I’ll write down all the things you say
If things rewind I’ll count the days
Your words will trace out maps for how
To get to you new blue and yellow

Alright, I Guess
03:01
|
|||
|
I get so caught up in years
That I forget why I’m here
I hang the pictures to dry
And I leave them there
Always counting time
But I spent all mine
Getting it wrong most nights
But i feel alright I guess
Another morning is clear
And I made plans to stay here
Once it's too warm to breathe
I just sit here and heave
And watch the days go by
But i feel alright I guess
All I do is wait for something new
All I see is my room and me
As the leaves change to brown
I just hang upside down
I keep the fan on at night
And it helps me sleep tight
Even when it’s quiet
I can’t block out the sight
As it floods my mind
But I feel like I’m alright

Like the Night
02:59

Like the night I’ll always say goodbye
Even if I intend on coming back sometime
‘Cause the moon can’t swim when the day begins
And the sun comes in
Like the night I’ll always say goodbye
Calm it calls
As the stars fall apart
And the silver in the sand just breaks
All I do is give out my heart
For you
Like the night I’ll always say goodbye
Black and pink as the morning’s breach is high
And it drowns the land from a studded can
Where the sun spills in
Like the night I’ll always say goodbye
Calm it calls
As the canopy drifts and sprawls
And the rips in your curtains they cry
Before they do
I leave a whisper in the hall
For you

What Do You See
03:28
|
|||
|
To see you in the corner of my eye
And feel you stealing glances
And picture us atop some pearly sky
That night
Peering at me asking
What do you see right now?
It sends me spinning out
Now I can’t quite calm down
Just frozen in your stare
She whispered through the candles on a string
And cut the darkness sweetly
Her voices collected my thoughts as they swing
Asking me softly
What do you see right now?
And my hearts spinning out
Now I can’t quite calm down
Just frozen in your stare
Frozen in your stare

Well you didn’t walk out
But you sure knew how
And in pacing the hallway floors you painted up your house
You tried to move but you knew that you were too glued down
And you know that this should all be over now
You tried to eat your words
And hold your breath in your mouth
But when Jay from down the street has heard you scream so loud
There’s only so much time before the truth comes out
And you really believe that this should all be over now
I’ve never seen such bad weather babe
But the thunder don’t sound ‘till lightning goes and strikes the bay
I’ve never heard such a poor surprise
But who could’ve foreseen that wouldn’t hold up such a poor disguise
When the temperatures change
And your skin gets rough
And you claim you ain’t the kind of guy to go and act so tough
You seem so unaware that you know too much
And someday you’ll look back then pretend you made it up
When you can see them staring
Up your bathroom drain
And through your bedroom window you feel aimed
And you feel as you should go back to from where you came
And poking your head outside the sky just starts to rain
I’ve never seen such bad weather babe
But the thunder don’t sound ‘till lighting goes and strikes the bay
I’ve never heard such a poor surprise
Have you laying in the road and let the water wash away your eyes
Well I
Can see you’ve got your doubts
And I really did think that you would make it out somehow
You never were too big on getting around
But you know
This should all be over now
