Snowshoe
04:03
|
|||
Snowshoe walking
Sky stacked full of suggestions
And numerous questions
You've given all of your heart
To the snow on your eyelash
And your numb frozen cheeks.
Why shouldn't you?

Water
02:59
|
|||
Floating with my face into the water
I'd pause a moment asking you to join me
But floating faces still and barely breathing
You'll finally know what I'm talking about.
If the water is clear, my friend
Then why can't I find the end?
I could build you a boat of metal and leather and rope
I could lend you a suit and flippers and snorkel, to boot.

Lovers
04:23
|
|||
Lovers holding steady and fast
Alas have come unclasped
And open clasps leave many aghast
This night, a gloomy November
Each retreats to a bed
Quilted with dread and the feelings they'll swallow
But neither can help but consider the long line of lovers they follow
Who've no one to hold dear
But the bread they baked that day
Rose just like all the other loaves each day before it
And the butter spread on steaming loaves of bread
Just like it did each day before it

When We Were Young
03:25
|
|||
When we weave our sad stories together
Maybe we could knit a sweater
Gather silk scraps and cashmere
Embroidery threads
Morsels of blankets all tattered in shreds
And the quilts that our mothers unfurled on our beds
When we were young

Nobody Knows You
02:13
|
|||
Nobody knows you like I do
Not even you
People say that you're real bad
But I know that you're just real sad

Silver
03:59
|
|||
When the ground is covered in silver
When the lightning strikes by the river
Come for me
When I'm flying over the country
When the ceiling's covered in stars
And we just heard a chapter from the story
Come for me
When your brain is no longer broken
When you send me word 'bout the rainbow
In the morning when we're forgotten
And when nothing else can be broken
Come for me
Parcel up these bits all together
Those we long for and those we've had
In the end, I guess there's no difference
Come for me.

I'll Buy You Lunch
02:33
|
|||
I'll buy you lunch someday
Just don't give your life away.
The littlest bumblebee
Gargantuan manatee
I'll hold them both close to me
Just don't give your life away.
We're all inside playing cards
The kids play out in the yard
They'll dig through the dirt to clay
Just don't give your life away.

Raise your weary head
Find me when the night has passed
Through your heart
I'm already dead
Find me when the night has passed
Through your heart
I have longed to hear you singing in the night
At last I do.
Walk the garden path
Seeing how the pink and green
Blue and gold
Raise their dewy glasses
Find me when the night has passed
Through your heart
I have longed to hear you singing in the night
At last I do.

In December
03:25
|
|||
And the moon drove by in her car
Above our glowing faces in the rain
When you left me in December.
But that silver light never quite got bright enough
To see our shining selves again
When you left me in December.
If your heart grows cold
Darling promise me
If you find that you cannot remain
Never leave me in December.

Winter Wind
04:12
|
|||
What have I done to prepare for the cold this year?
You've got the right idea and maybe I should follow suit.
Slept on a mountain I cleared for a home
With you
Nights on the mountain are cold
But in the morning I walk into town
Hunker down in cafés
Read the gossip and news
Borrow books from the library too.
Oh, you lousy winter wind,
You're a champion and a friend.
