Oblivion
04:08
|

|
And I thought I could reach you looking for a star after midnight
Got caught inside the thunder of my beating heart, I’m not sure why
Never made sense to notice you were burning up while I was burning out
I resigned to every weakness that I could find alone inside
It was over before it began
Could’ve let you go
But I didn’t know how …
Oooooo where do we run
When there’s nowhere to turn
Into oblivion
To oblivion
To oblivion
I was in an oblivion
All the driving got me to thinking of Aliston, before I knew why
To carve a place in the country
A simple plot of land
That never arrived …
Oooooo over and damned
Have we forgot where we were
Before we could land
In the sunrise before the descent
Have we lost our days to oblivion
To oblivion
To oblivion
Further into oblivion
What oblivion
What oblivion
What oblivion …
It was over before it began
Should’ve let you go
When I didn’t know how …
Oooooo but where do we run
When there’s no where to turn
To oblivion
Into oblivion
Into oblivion
I was in an oblivion
What oblivion
What an oblivion
What an oblivion

The Well Has Run Dry
05:17
|

|
In my life I've lost many things and I've never asked why
My crops that grew up in the spring suddenly withered and died
No rain for 42 days, not a cloud in the sky
Late September, the sun burns low way up high ...
And the well has run dry
I drove way down south to meet her by the Atlantic seaside
I could tell that the love was long gone from the look in her eyes
She said it was over so we said our goodbyes
And I drank until dawn on the 4th of July ... till the well had run dry
My thoroughbred horse ran far away from the stable at night
A fire had scared her astray, she had watched it ignite
I tried hard to tame her but my hands they were tied
Never saw her again and for that I'll cry .....
Until the well has run dry ...
In my life I've lost many things, never asked myself why

Sometimes
03:13
|

Just left my home yesterday
the state of my mind
this empty room shaking
the feeling so hard to define
midnight walking
strangely talking
to myself tonight
but i only feel that way sometimes
only feel that way sometimes
looking back i wonder where you are
whether you feel the same
everyday gets darker since you left
memories fade away
strangers this evening
sunsets bleeding
I no longer believe in us
I only feel that way sometimes
midnight walking
strangely talking
to myself tonight
i only feel that way sometimes

The Alchemist
03:51
|
|||
|
Many moons have past
Tied to the wrecking hour
Winters built to last
Through every falling year
Her hair was golden sun
Silent and ever glow
A river down her back
In cedars and fallen snow
Through the hours of sleep
Whispers sent to keep me
Drawn to dreams of you
Fading out of view in
Summer Skies
Fires of July
Love me now the lake
Leave us where we left
Further from her face
Sent from the morning theft
The northern river flows
To bring her memory back
Heavy as it goes
Drifting into black
The alchemist has left
No longer making silver
He’s given up on gold
Lost within the cold
His memories lie
Passing by
Outside

Send Me To The Fire
04:57
|
|||
|
When the night was all that we had left
Late in autumn to remind us of our death
When time was certain we'd recall
Our spirits lingered down the hall
The fear of curtains blinds us all
Blinds us all to the light
Send me to the fire
Are you one of them
Tonight
Dark in front of us
In spite
(Of) the moon in silver bright
Tonight
Through the fields you hear them call out your name
Echoing in the trees that sing the refrain
We keep quiet we lie still
Fate will find us, it always will
Every memory haunts us still in the night
So send me to the fire
Are you one of them
Tonight Dark in front of us
Goodbye
To every siren song
In the night
Send me to the fire
Send me to the fire
Send me to the fire
Send me to the fire

The Ghost Of Abilene
04:16
|
|||
|
Caught upon the diamond pond, highway 64
Lost myself in every place before
Desert sun came beating down with nothing left to burn
You get your keep from everything you've earned
Not knowing that the heart beats to yearn..
High above the city caught me wandering round the park
Wondering if you're waiting in the dark
I know that I've been lonely for a thousand distant years
Ever since you left me standing here
At midnight on the old parade of fears
All the loneliness it went haunted by the way
That you loved when you loved
Everyone has something they can’t run away from
It’s true love, it’s true loving
Daylight bled an evening sky to every stars' decay
Caught out on the midnight parade
Haunted will, she's with me still, the ghost of Abilene
Becomes a part of everywhere I've been
She's every place that I have never seen
All the loneliness it went haunted by the way
That you loved when you loved
Everyone has something they can’t run away from
It’s true love, it’s true loving
High up on the desert plain with the ghost of Abeline
Who you loved when you loved
All the loneliness it came haunted by the way
That you loved when you loved me

Always (Violet Hour)
05:30
|
|||
|
If I were to ask you what I’ve done, would you lie to me
Or leave it inside the setting sun till the tide breaks
I wanted to stay with you so close in the nights remains
But suddenly everything had changed,
I knew right away
But in my dreams the sunrise
Seems to reflect in your eyes
Always
As though you never left me
And in your arms expect me
Always
Then I awake in silence
Inside the vacant violet hours
And long for your returning
Until the sky is burning brightly
I want to go back where we’d begun before the night we changed
The light on the lake under the sun, summer fires fade
When we were young and still so close We couldn’t fall apart or break
Do you ever wonder do you know
Do you still long for me ...
But now the sky is falling
Across the darkness calling
Always
Guess I’ll forever love you
Just like the stars above you
Always
Your memory disappearing
The ghost who walks down violet hallways
In midnight through the clearing
Your face reflects the silence
Always

In An Honest Way
04:16
|
|||
|
Wandering out all night in the distance
Wonder why
When we’ve lost our way
Doesn’t matter how far I’ve been looking back
In those days
There was hell to pay
And we’d lie in an honest way
In July as the summer fades
And tonight, we’ll never be the same
In the fire, burning what remains
Drove the night wondering where you are
To the side
Was a funeral lake
Thought I’d find you somewhere looking for me
I could hide
Would it make you stay?
And tonight will never be the same
When we lie in an honest way
And the sky will fall and break
When we lie in an honest way
And we lie in an honest way
Late July as the summer fades
Out of time, is there another way?
Waiting for the sky to fall and break
When we lie in an honest way
When we lie in an honest way
When we lie in an honest way
When we lie in an honest way

Lost In Her Ocean
03:52
|
|||
|
My love is a keeper, my love is a stone
An open book of memories
Under the steeple and buried in bones
Lays my broken hearted will
The silhouette seeker, come send me some clues
Find me a love who is searching
And leave her this letter as the crooked crow flew
Death be my witness, to her I'll be true
To her I will always be true
My spirit was stolen like songs from the sea
I gave her my heart but she took all of me
Hurting and haunted, a ghost soon to be
Who wanders the alleyways
I'm the wanderer of alleyways
Destined for failure, I fought with the sun
To burn in her arms as the flames have begun
To light up each corner and dark side of me
To walk on the moon and then fall to the sea
Now I've fallen into the sea
Her tides they might break me as I fall apart
The cost of these waves is the key to her heart
Forever I've waited as I long to be
Trapped in her ocean and lost in her sea
I am lost in her ocean

Furious Seasons
05:01
|
|||
|
I’m old enough to see another day but stronger than before
The tide has turned itself upon the bay to wash us into shore
We still have many mountains left to climb, and rivers yet to cross
Upon the golden landscape of the sun through the coming of the frost
Remembering the chairs in your front yard, the ancient trees above your house
Casting shapeless shadows after dark that danced across your mouth
High above the city lights and clouds, a sky of reverie
The moon a silent song we’re dancing to in a distant memory
I dreamed that I was meeting you again so far away from here
Then suddenly the furious seasons came reminding me of fear
The journey only brings another road, my home is everywhere
Let’s live among the flowers of the field and the birds upon the air
