“Ohm” struck the bell
My heart swells
Sweet baby
Let’s hide in the shade tree
But I can’t stay here now
No I can’t stay here now
If your father comes back now
Then forever I will stay here
“Thump” goes the door
My heart soars
Just one more time
I wanna see you tonight
But I can’t stay here now
No I can’t stay here now
If your father comes back now
Then forever I will stay here
Hay bail
Kick around
Two’s port
That sports the gun
From the farmer to the boy
Hay bail
Kick around
From the farmer to the boy

Normal day
Sun is shy
I’m pretty sure my clothes are almost dry
Assailant
Front of the mat
Tips his hat and says
While quarters fly
“That well, that’s how it goes
With a foot through the door
And your laundry in the bag
Kid stay away from me
You don’t know this greed
They’ll take that old spade
And bury you away”
Delusional
And out of his head
Making his share
Off clean underwear
So I followed him
To live a life of petty crime
Change to the wind
And it was mostly dimes
He said, “well, that’s how it goes
With a foot through the door
And your laundry in the bag
Kid stay away from me
You don’t know this greed
They’ll take that old spade
And bury you away”

The way that we were
I found myself the world
Now what’s all this weather for
If we’re not together anymore
I can't beg my heart to hold the weight
And you will say that nothing will do
And I’ll still think up something to say
You said it wasn’t right
I said it was the time
Though we are the way we are
I never found it hard
Sun for the other's rain
Thank God we weren’t the same
Now I guess I’m movin’ on
Getting old dreams to run
I can’t wait for my big day in the sun
Standing on top of the pile
With a big smile of denial
Wondering where you went
And how you got through
I can’t wait now for your love
I can’t wait for your love
I can’t wait now for your love
I can't wait for your love
The way that we were
I found myself the world

Edelweiß

|
In a week or so
That note’ll hit my door
And it’ll go the same way as before
Before the war
And Edelweiß still sings nice
‘Round here
And if all the forms of my fears
Found a way to right here
I could hold the beat down
But it’s not my say
Oh no
Oh no
Soft and sweet
I can find sleep again
But not the same as before
There’s only one way
Through the door
And Edelweiß still blooms right
‘Round here
If all the doors in my life
Let me see what’s inside
I could always be fine
But I won’t know
Oh babe
Oh no
May cool blue waters
Flow through me
When cycling fire’s
Higher than the well

Wonderdoubt

Wonder floats down and convinces you
To spend your whole hand on something new
Fear stays the hand that reaches out
For something more than self-doubt
I was wrong
How does it feel
To make your love
And that’s enough
Now you will say that I’m a drug to you
Oh, what am I supposed to do
Hold myself back
Am I bad for you
Oh, my heart is torn in two
I was wrong
How does it feel
To make your love
And that’s enough
Empty room
Empty me
Am I alone
Or am I free
Or am I free
Or am I free
The enemy
Is it me

Jack's Song
02:57
|
|||
|
It’s talkin’ about
Love and the loom
And our doom
That frees the pain
To think I was alone
Before you came
And I’m so glad now
Don’t do bad without
I hear you in my head
As I’m falling to bed
And feeling discrete
For once I came to compete
And I thought it would be colder
But I’ve never felt so warm
And I’m so glad now
Don’t do bad without
I thought I was doin’ it wrong
Until you said you like this song

It’s a sweet disease
When you don’t even want love
It’s not that
You think you’re above
Up
Down
All the ways I feel my
Head
Ground
Fall beneath or rise
Only
Completely
Alive to play this ball
To myself
0-0
Pull the plow
Work horse knows how
To be a brute
And thirst for rotten fruit
Up
Down
All the ways I feel my
Head
Ground
Fall beneath or rise
Only
Completely
Alive to play this ball
To myself
0-0

Start / End
03:32
|

|
A warm breath
Turns endlessly
Collides with
The air I breathe
Some race time
Some hold back
Some never find
What is good
And what they need
To be alive
When the start feels broke
And the end feels open wide
I can’t help mistaking what I love
For my life
Split the fire
Another time
In such a way
You’ll never grow tired
Some write songs
About how they can’t carry on
I’ll push away
I’ll push away
To break the wall in a heart
If I can
When the start feels broke
And the end feels open wide
I can’t help mistaking what I love
For my life
