Weathervane

Milk white, skin and bones
Square peg, round hole and something came between us
Long nights, lukewarm to cold
I hope you know it wasn't me, it wasn't you
Because you and I would go running through the heather
And we set flight on the wings of a weathervane
A paper crown, a liar's chair
The when or where, I just can't say
But your window's down and the leaves are scarce
And you cut your hair, you turned away, you turned away
Don't you give an inch now, don't knock down your door
Don't you give an inch now, don't knock down your door
Just slip out of your window, come outside and stay a while

Wayfaring Stranger

I am a poor wayfaring stranger, traveling through this world of woe
There is no sickness, toil or danger in that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my mother, she said she'd meet me when I come
I am just going way over Jordan
I'm only going to my home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me, I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just beyond me, where weary eyes no more will weep
I'm going there to see my father, he said he'd meet me when I come
I am just going way over Jordan
I'm only going to my home
I'll soon be free from every trial, this form will rest beneath the sod
I'll drop the cross of self denial and enter in my home with God
I'm going there to see my savior, who shed for me His precious blood
I am just going over Jordan, I'll soon be going home to God

Feathers

Wake up, take your beating
Had a rough night again
Your pride is conceding, you don't have one more fight within
And all the while your stony smile remains
So, your wings outgrew your cage?
And you feel older than your age?
Broken, battered, bruised
Cut to pieces, you're still lovely like before
And all the while your stony smile remains
So you've got a cage, well I've got a key..
So you've got a cage, well I've got a key
Love, won't you come with me
Have we begun again?
Oh, out of the woods, and down to the sea
Love won't you come with me
And we'll be young again
Wake up, take your beating
Had a rough night again....

Can't write you out of this one tonight
You act like your love wasn't meant for mine
Get yourself lost in a tall-hedge maze
Love what we learn while we end the race
Love what we learn while we end the race
When your foghorn blows
I'll neither cast feathers or stones
When your foghorn blows
I'll neither cast feathers or stones
Feathers or stones, feathers or stones
Suffocating love, I've murdered my own
And what a mess I've left for you to clean up
For every drunken verse, you found a sober chorus
Goodbye is just ahead, you know she always led before us
Love what we've learned while we end the race
Love what we've learned while we miss the race
Love what I've learned though I've been replaced
Love what I've learned though I've been erased

Hey Autumn
04:15
|

Last night I dreamt we fell down into the lies we stumble around
We gathered with the dirty crowd, to watch the towers tumble down
Hey!
There everything was so much more than anything we'd bargained for
We made our beds outside the door, and never wanted something more
Hey Autumn don't you cry
Because I'm only me inside your eyes
Hey Autumn say goodbye
For I feel this dream will wake and die
So I climbed the rubble just to scream and shake my fist at the mighty king
But he gave his hand to help me down, cried when I fell to the ground
Hey Autumn don't you cry
Because I'm only me inside your eyes
Hey Autumn say goodbye
For I feel this dream will wake and die
I woke up on the floor, don't know just who I was reaching for
So I thought it might be you, but there's nothing else that I can do
We are children of a beautiful lie, and it all looks better in the moonlight
Well I bought the field love's buried in, but I'm sinking
I'm sinking once again
