head out and pace the lawn
with spit from the mouths of everyone
dirtying you and not the ground
the mind blows and i leave the room
the flood on the dark road betrays the moon
and i flew too soon
time's falling away
the time's falling away

Rosie's Garden

you hold strong to your world
a little baby held to its word
did they lie to you, too?
did they lie in time to make it true?
you steal, like i don't mind wasting my time
you steal all that's mine, just making another dime
and the peace in your mind, that's a wonderful crime
it's a matter of time
and in a matter of time you're gonna die

Haystacks

|
along the way across the plain
you laughed in my face and never looked away
and it took me all day
to drink the light through the cracks
at the top of the haystack
how long can you stay wrong?
what do you bring when you sing along?
and when you're talking alone?
the stain on the lawn
and all of the places that you've gone
the part of the day you move on
a little closer

Starland Waltz
03:53
|

|
this barnyard still / starland thrill
brings me down
a staggering, low man
blankly damned
to the weight of wading through
of relating to
the fanning cracks on the wall of my room
the planets crawl through the black
but my hands won't move
hollowed backroads abound
i blasted off and hit the ground
i painted a crown
to bend the light and steer the sound
to the barnyard still / starland thrill

Honeybee
02:15
|

|
the day you meant to ditch it in the snow
you chased a scent and died among the rows
these bones i'm carrying home
neatly sewn to bury alone
under pale stones
you've drawn those lines on your palm
split the bond
the spine from the song
the day you left to ditch it in the snow
you chased a scent

Jürgen's Secret

|
in the blue i'm a spider
in the blue i'm a glider
in the blue i'm a miser
i'm flying low now
in the blue i'm a spider
in the blue i'm a liar

The Spill
03:01
|
|||
|
this road is bathing in vulgar rain
and listlessly withering my clothes
glass crows wandering off below
the tree lines of long ago
seem thrown
pink lungs are flowering broken wings
so take off your rings and float

Little Piggy
04:12
|
|||
|
blame the crowd if i'm not holding on
i'm drawing anger from a stranger's pitying smile
lost time blows by
the false lines cross my eyes
so carry me down to the water
and i watch you glow tenderly around our son and daughter
as i rest my bones
i'm a blinking light
little fingers brush my crossed and wandering eyes
and i'm fine

Never Hardly Knew
03:31
|
|||
|
your bitter days rot
under the silk frost
as we ride toward the far off
how many times since the day we arrived
has this thing crossed my mind?
all the time
but i whispered it alone
to the clouds that follow us home
and persist to insist you're on your own
he's a kind brat
out in the tall grass
a dawning light on my own past
how many times have i seen in your eyes
the comfort that i'm coming around?
too close to see that all i'll be is letting you down
but damned if i'm gonna fake like i'm profound
so come to me cause all i need is to lie down
