Trade Winds

Found you on a runaway

A darkened hold, you were deep below

Won't find in me anyway

A warming heart underneath your toes

​

Can you find a way to me

I will follow you, will you follow me

Will you take me away to where I've never been before

Today?

​

I can't stand the weight of my ideal

I can't stand to wait another day

I raise the sail, and bear away

​

I gave all you could take from me

I'm a hollow you in a hollow me

Will you take me away to where I've never been before

Today?

​

I can't stand the weight of how I deal

I can't stand to wait another day

I raise the sail, and bear away

​

I raise the sails

and bear away

Walkabout

Walking a desert highway

Waking up all alone

I found myself

Deep in the dirt

​

Long on a desert highway

Found the earth all alone

I check myself

Down to the Soul

​

Walking a desert highway

Drag my feet to the raw

I bound myself

On a long distance call

​

Long I've forgotten my way

Stone hands numb the fall

I find myself

Or no one at all

Your Window

All you want to see from me

All you want are memories

All you wanted borne to me alone

I know

​

All the Sun had gave to me

Automatic sympathy

All along no gift to me although

I know

​

I threw it out the window

I gave it all away

I'm passing by your window as the breeze you sway

I fade away

​

I threw it out the window

I gave it all away

I'm passing by your window as your dreams you say

"Don't fade away..."

​

All we are we'll do from here

All beyond these chains we bear

All at once our mysteries are known

You know

​

We threw it out the window

We threw it all away

We're passing by your window as the breeze you sway

I fade away

​

We threw it out the window

We threw it all away

We're passing by your window as your dreams you say

"Don't fade away..."

​

Leave the Light On

I know you want to take it from me

You know I gave it to you

And though y'were always looking for me

Was looking for you

​

And will you want to take it from me

For all it will do to you

I know your time is always running

Relative to you

​

I know your time is always running, running away from here

and away from there

I know your time was always coming, running away from here

While we're dare sincere

​

Did you leave the light on

My Dear

​

You never need to leave the light on

When they're gunning for you

And though I know they're coming for us

I'm waiting with you - forever

​

I know your time is always running, running away from here

And away from there

I know your time is always coming, running away from here

While we're dare sincere

​

Believe It

Coming down the mountain

Alight with energy

Coming down the mountain

Falling in at speed, we're free

​

Coming down the mountain

I'm an extended being

Coming down the mountain

A siege beneath

​

Sometime you just gotta say aww Fuck It

Sometimes, you gotta believe

Sometimes you just have to say y'all suck it

Sometimes you gotta believe

​

Climbing on the mountain

The mighty rate we beat

Climbing up the mountain

Summiting the agony

​

Suffering the trial

We fight the air we breathe

Fighting through the fire

Carrying our pain as creed

​

Sometimes you just gotta say aww Fuck It

Sometimes you gotta believe

Sometimes you just have to say y'all suck it

Sometimes you gotta believe

​

You better believe it

You better believe

Dreams

Was it all a dream?

In a tale that could never leave us

All we wanted was to find our way back home

​

Was it all a scene?

All the years of my honesty though

All I wanted was to show you my way home

​

In analogy

All our memories a symphony are

All we wanted was to lead a life our own

​

Was it all a dream?

Every tale of your lie mythology

All we want is to believe a life our own

​

Between the space, we'll never let it go

Beneath the waves, I'm always there you know...

​

I've never seen the sky between us have you?

We'd run so far with so much left undone

How we've grown now

I've never filled the sky between us have you?

How we've come so far, and on and on we run

​

I know I caught a Dream

In a tale we could never leave it

All we want is to be yours forever long

​

You know I caught a Dream

In a tale that could never leave us

All I want is to be yours forever long

​

While we run

And we run

One Summer

One summer day I left to go

To find my way all on my own

Ahead of September

​

One summer day I found my home

A special place where I belong

Do you remember?

​

So many days, so many nights; I fell into the trap

I wandered through my hollow view I never once looked back

I looked back

​

One summer day I found a rope

That special way out of the hole

Now do you remember?

​

So many days, so many nights; I fell into the trap

I wandered through my hollow view I never once looked back

On so many days and so many nights; I fell into the past

I wander through my hall of you I never once look back

I look back

​

I save the date down in my soul

A special place all of our own

We'll ever remember

Once

At once you know

So long now to go

And once we gather there

We're peaceful you know

​

And once you know

Not long now ago

That once we came from there

We were peaceful back then

​

How long? Not long to go

How long do we wait to be raided so

How long? Not long to go

How long do we wait to behave as so

​

And once you go

Not long now you know

And once we gather there

So peaceful again

​

But once we know

How long now who knows

That once we come from there

Still a long way to go

​

How long? Not long to go

How long do we wait to be raided so

How long? Not long to go

How long do we wait to behave as so

​

Eye of the Crow

Walk the dark streets all alone

Take a step one after one

Take a slow glance over my shoulder, I see you

I see you

​

Take a step down a darkened road

A cold step, one after one

A subtle glance over my shoulder - I see you

I see you

​

Take a step down a long dark road

A quick right to the woods

Through dampened trees and fire

I see you, I see you

​

Down below, a darker yearn

I steal right from the woods

On cold steps one after one

I see you - afire

​

I turn 'round in the black

I see you far below

A low dive one after one

I see you alone

​

I turn 'round in the black

Far down below

A slow stride one after one

I see you below

The Garden

Alone in the garden

Digging for you

Home out in the garden

For you - just for you, you know

​

I've sown in the garden

Seedlings of you

They'll grow in the garden

For you - with me too you know

​

In my desolation beneath the tree

Of my exploration I feel it

​

Out there in the garden

Growing with you

They'll stay in the garden

With you - just for you, you know

​

Alone in the garden

Digging for you

A hole in the garden

From me down to you, you know

 

In my desolation beneath the trees

Of my aspiration, I feel it

In my desperation I seed the tree

Of my exploration of you, and of me

Orca

On the side of a mountain

Across the feral sea

I've been deep in the ocean baby

Where you wait for me, will you play with me

​

Down the side of the mountain

Into the river and out to the sea

I was caught in a cold moon bay

Where they wait with me, will they stay with me

​

Can you face the mountain

Can you climb the sea

Can you take me home so far away from me

​

Away from me, a way for me

​

From the seat of the mountain

I call the river and speak to the sea

My heart in ache with the words they say

Won't you play with me? Can't you stay with me

​

On the top of the mountain

Far from the sea as ever could be

I was searching for night and day

Won't you dance for me? Won't you answer me

​

Can you face the mountain

Can you climb the sea

Can you take me home for all to see

Me be

 

Will you climb the mountain

Can you find the sea

Can you take me home so far away

From me

Wander

Anywhere you know, anytime you may see through

Anywhere you go, you know I will be with you

​

On endless seas, from empty fields we feed you

An Odyssey of endless dreams we reach you

We seed you

​

Anywhere you want, anything you need through

Anywhere we go, you know I believe in you

​

On endless seas, from empty fields we feed you

In Odyssey of endless dreams we reach you

We see you

​

Anywhere you go
