Summer's Gone

summer's gone, in its place
just a hint of a trace
of the smile that you left
on the day that we met
now it's gone, flown away
bird of song, bird of prey
you forget that i left
bleeding heart on your shelf
now it's gone to decay
in your room, by the way
did you hear all those things
that i wrote, that i sing?
they are all about you
they are all i can do
to stay awake in this cold
i don't wanna grow old
all alone, far away
feeling just like today
with a pen bleeding out
all this angst i'm about
now you're gone

Lily of the Valley

reach back again
it's all that you're good for
think back to when
the future stretched out endless as the sky
lily of the valley
stretching underground
arriving out of season
reacting to the sound
pulling together
breaking apart
forgotten what it feels like
hung up at the start
old secrets lie
safe underground
with all that you hide
it's screaming out
the letter said, "you know by now"
you know

Gunslinger

i don't need no sacrifices
don't need no grain of rice and
i don't need, no i don't need you
i don't need no hand-holding
don't need to keep the ball rolling
i don't need, no i don't need you
maybe you learned your lesson
but boy, i'm sick of guessing
when's the next time you're gonne be nice to me?
put down the firearm, baby
you turned my heart into a landslide
the first time my eyes met your eyes
something about the way you say my name
i knew my heart would never be the same
so thanks honey, i think i know now
to always keep my guns drawn for a showdown
bang! bang! i'll let you fall to the ground
bang! bang! my tears won't make a sound
i don't need no sacrifices
don't need no grain of rice and
i don't need, no i don't need you
maybe i'll learn my lesson
the law's after me and they ain't messin'
with the gunslinger you have just made me
and my poor, broken heart out to be

Feet on the Ground
04:48
|
|||
keep my head up in the clouds
cuz it's opposed to coming down
blinding night, flooding me with light
a wave of silence as i drown
feet are heading out of town
not content to linger now
try to find a way to leave behind
no impressions in the ground
want to race the speed of sound
betray no signs of slowing down
and in my sleep, something i can't keep
little lost is ever found

Prairie Song

fruitless as the badlands
sensational to see
a factual attraction
bitterness of three
snowy little springtime
freeze the roots of our tree
light your cherry cigarette
pass it back to me
we said "love" too often
in tones meant for children
camped in our solitude
i lost touch, i lost sight of you
falling from me like summer dew
so, i don't love
no, i don't love
no, I won't love like that
camped in our solitude
i lost touch, i lost sight of you
falling from me like summer dew
so, i don't love
no, i don't love
no, i won't love like that
