All I Want 03:14
nothing's so loud as hearing when we lie the truth is not kind and you've said neither am i but the air outside so soft is saying everything everything all i want is to feel this way to be this close, feel the same all i want is to feel this way the evening speaks, i feel it say nothing's so cold as closing the heart when all we need is to free the soul but we wouldn't be that brave i know but the air outside so soft confessing everything everything all i want is to feel this way to be this close, feel the same all i want is to feel this way the evening speaks, i feel it say and it won't matter now whatever happens will be 'though the air speaks of all we'll never be it won't trouble me all i want is to feel this way to be this close, feel the same all i want is to feel this way the evening speaks, i feel it say and it feels so close let it take me in let it hold me so i can feel it say

it's hard to rely on my good intentions when my head's full of things that i can't mention it seems i usually get things right but i can't understand what i did last night and it's hard to rely on my own good senses when i miss so much that requires attention i have to laugh at myself sometimes but i can see that i'm not blind there's little relief give us reprieve, oh but for all the things i've left behind i'm positive that i'm not blind i'm not afraid things won't get better but it feels like this has gone on forever you have to cry with your own blue tears have to laugh with your own good cheer and it's hard to rely on my good intentions when my head's full of things that i can't mention it seems i usually get things right but i can't understand what i did last night there's little relief give us reprieve, oh and imagining the world outside i'm positive that i'm not blind i can't be hard on you 'cause you know i've been there too i've learned a lot of things from you but life gives little relief give us reprieve, oh and when everyone is cold as ice i clench my fists and close my eyes imagining the world outside and i can see that i'm not blind

Brother 04:17
i find my brother in there deep in my heart i find my brother in there hold in my arms i love you and if I seem too quiet now there are no words to tell you how i love you i often feel like the prodigal son take all I need giving back none our beauty shows in such different ways you're like the light behind the fog so soft but still you burn my eyes away i find my brother in there deep in my heart i find my brother in there hold in my arms i love you and if I feel too quiet now there are no words to show you how i love you so much has changed and so much has happened these years but still I find you're waiting here we have a bond that nothing can change and still I find a peace of mind whenever I hear your name and if I seem too quiet now there are no words to show you how i love you my brother

Come Down 03:10
open up and let me in i was lucky to live don't need to win forgave myself and if that's a sin it's not enough you'd even know it did right to call my bluff 'cause i won't say when i have had enough i worked so hard to need this stuff and you tried so long to just ignore it won't you come down where i am words are hidden, understand i won't repeat myself again i will not repeat myself again it's another promise d.o.a. and despite my every hope there's no truth behind my best intentioned oath won't you come down where i am words are hidden, understand won't you come down i've been away too long i know i have won't you come down where i am there is healing in your hands won't you come down where i am words are hidden been away too long i know i've been away too long i know i have

another day, i call and never speak and you would say, "nothing's changed at all" and i can't feel much hope for anything if I won't be there to catch you if you fall and again (again we fail) it seems we meet (to meet and mend) in the spaces (the spaces safe) in between (between intent) we always say (we say too much) "it won't be long" (and long been gone) oh, but something's always wrong another game of putting things aside as if we'll come back to them sometime a brace of hopes a pride of innocence and you would say something has gone wrong and again (again we fail) it seems we meet (meet and mend) in the spaces (the spaces safe) in between (between intent) we always say (we say much) "it won't be long" (and long been gone) oh, but something's always wrong and again (again we fail) it seems we meet (to make amends) in the spaces (and wend our way) in between (between intent) we always say (and ooking back) "it won't be long" (not moving on) oh, but something's always wrong something's always wrong something's always wrong

we spotted the ocean at the head of the trail where are we going, so far away and somebody told me that this is the place where everything's better, everything's safe walk on the ocean step on the stones flesh becomes water wood becomes bone half and hour later we packed up our things we said we'd send letters and all those little things and they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same it seemed they'd already forgotten we'd came walk on the ocean step on the stones flesh becomes water wood becomes bone now back at the homestead where the air makes you choke and people don't know you and trust is a joke we don't even have pictures just memories to hold that grow sweeter each season as we slowly grow old

Fall Down 03:24
she said "i'm fine, i'm okay" cover up your trembling hands there's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left when the good times never stay and the cheap thrills always seem to fade away when will we fall when will we fall down jump back, got to get out of here been too, too long this time jump back, got to get out of here when will, when will we fall down she hates her life she hates her skin she even hates her friends tries to hold on to all the reputations she can't mend and there's some chance we could fail but the last time someone was always there for bail when will we fall when will we fall down jump back, got to get out of here been too, too long this time jump back, got to get out of here when will, when will we fall down she said "i'm fine, i'm okay" cover up your trembling hands there's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left for the last time conscience calls for a good friend I was never there at all when will we fall down

Crazy Life 04:05
anyway now it don't seem right he is in there and you're on the outside over pine ridge to wounded knee there's blood on the ground as far as you see crazy life in the air i'm sensing a change in the weather in the end the path is clear does anyone remember here did you all think he'd just disappear crazy life what have you done with Peltier who did you think you'd taken away crazy life in the air i'm sensing a change in the weather in the end the path is clear burying won't stop it breathing forever underground it takes to root anyway it don't seem right he is in there and you're on the outside what have you done with Peltier who did you think you'd taken away it's not over...

Windmills 04:29
i spend too much time raiding windmills we go side by side laugh until it's right there's something that you won't show waiting where the light goes take the darkest hour, break it open water to repair what we have broken there's something that you won't show waiting where the light goes and maybe anywhere the wind blows it's all worth waiting for pull on the borders to lighten the load tell all the passengers we're going home i spend too much time seeking shelter but world without end couldn't hold her there's something that you won't show waiting where the light goes and maybe anywhere the wind blows it's all worth waiting for any way the wind blows

Crowing 03:01
you've been waiting to find you could've been happier given the time if he'd make up his mind you'd give yourself to anybody who would cross that line and it was never question he was crowing for repair you'd give him love and affection but you couldn't keep him there you get over regrets while you were sleeping with the angels he was under the bed and the more skin that you shed the more that the air in your throat will linger when you call him your friend and it was never question he was crowing for repair you'd give him love and affection but you couldn't keep him there staring at a cold little hand reading fault lines of a shell of a man you were waiting for a word from above wouldn't you know it no answer ever did come and it was never question you were crowing for repair you'd give him love and affection but you couldn't keep him there

one part of me just wants to tell you everything one part just needs the quiet and if i'm lonely here, i'm lonely here and on the telephone you offer reassurance i will not take these things for granted how can i hold the part of me that only you can carry it needs a strength i haven't found and if it's frightening, i'll bear the cold and on the telephone you offer warm asylum i'm listening flowers in the garden laughter in the hall children in the park i will not take these things for granted any more to crawl inside the wire and feel something near me to feel this accepting that it is lonely here, but not alone and on the telephone you offer visions dancing i'm listening music in the bedroom laughter in the hall dive into the ocean singing by the fire running through the forest and standing in the wind in rolling canyons i will not take these things for granted i will not take these things for granted i will not take these things for granted any more
