As the Crow Flies
Driving by myself it's 8 o'clock I wonder where I am she's waiting by the door it's gettting late, it's getting cold again the birds and my inhibitions will find shelter for tonight In the firey autumn forest trees that even though i cannot see will burn and burn all through the night[s] burn and turn the dark to light opening a way to love- the longest distance between As the crow flies as the crow flies Waiting for a train it's saturday we're hand in hand again waiting for the pain it's one more day it's one more night to win Chicago waiting paitiently and we're beginning to see The soul amidst the architecture spinning 'round as we conjecture heaven is a story away the city is ours tomorrow as far the buildings as high Aas the crow flies Standing by on the ground I look up to the sky all these questions of life and of loving arise if you'll lead me I'll go to the fire tell me why I'm afraid to burn I'm so afraid to learn Driving by myself it's 8 o'clock [pm] I'm going home again she's crying in her room we're all alone we're on the phone again trying to make some sense of make some sense of all this pain As the crow flies Standing by on the ground I look up to the sky as all these questions of life and of loving arise if you'll lead me I'll go to the fire tell me why I'm afraid to burn I'm so afraid to learn As the crow flies crow flies Standing by on the ground we look up to the sky as all these questions of life and of loving arise if you'll lead me I'll go to the fire tell me why we're so afraid to burn tell me why we're so afraid to learn Driving by myself it's 8 o'clock I'm all alone again
Blue
Forgive me when I fall I'm not as strong as you are sometimes the ending seems a little too far remind me when I'm tired forgive me when I fall I fear when I arrive there won't be anything left at all but I'll keep fighting for you I'll keep trying for you there's a peak here somewhere and I believe that too so take me feet, hands, soul, sweat, red, blue, song, sex I'm not through believing yet. It's all blue spinning as wishes come true in circles as I come to you open and free cuz you're so careful with me. Silhouettes float against a silver lake begging for wishes begging to make the truth of Lincoln's secrets echoed in the warmest cold echoed in my blood and the power of what we hold so hold my hand, face, soul, song one belief that we belong my skin, taste, this place, beauty, light, truth, grace anything and everything we ever were we ever dreamed love, truth, light, grace is right now. So dance to the silence of a faraway song dance to the light as the fear passes on dance for the wishes dance to the wishes we hold Everything's blue spinning as wishes come true in circles as I come to you open and free cuz you're so careful with me. And you're careful with me so take my feet hand, soul, sweat red, blue, song sex and I'm not through believing yet i'm not through believing So dance to the silence of a faraway song dance to the night as the fear passes on dance for the wishes dance to the wishes we hold And everything was blue spinning as wishes come true in circles as I come to you open and free cause you're so careful with me
Daylight Savings
Save some daylight for me from a dying hotel room where I can barely hear I'm speaking to the moon through smoke as thick as fear the laughter and the noise of anyone but me and no one sees beyond this six-string world of 2's and 3's. inside a memory unspoken to the crowd but I'm higher than the games that no one plays outloud I pray for Lizzie's crows to follow me too 'cuz the seers here don't see me and the prophets never knew where they should keep from looking. Lizzie pull me through the wait for silence for someday for you Lizzie pull me through that gate please hold on save some daylight for me save some daylight for me My shadow's on the wall dancing in the glow the dark that we accept of a telephone hello on the other side she sparkles and shines from the trees I still see it sometimes I still see it sometimes still see it sometimes Lizzie pull me through the wait for silence for someday for you Lizzie pull me through that gate please hold on save some daylight for me I'm dreaming of the north I'm dreaming of the east in abandoned corridors just a little out of reach blue ribbon in my hand a crowded hotel room lonely as a god are you speaking to the moon Lizzie pull me through the wait for silence for someday for you Lizzie pull me through that gate please hold on yeah please hold on won't ya just, just hold on Save some daylight for me save some daylight for me save some daylight... I'm dreaming of the north I'm dreaming of the east in abandoned corridors just a little out of reach and now I stand for the last of your airport lies looking back to the months of lonley nights somewhere there's a heaven waiting for sometime there's a song that's rising for someday when I finally find my debt to receive Save some daylight for me save some daylight for save some daylight me... Lizzie pull me through the wait for silence for someday for you Lizzie pull me through that gate hold on save some daylight save some daylight
July
I came here to find myself through lonely fields where the corn is just a little over my head. lonely dreams when everything is summer time but rarely mine and just a little over my head. a little tired of moving a little tired of choosing the paled blue of heaven's hell where it's always a hazy morning it's always the eyes adoring I came here to find myself There he spoke to me like a photograph "I think you left this here." I think you left this black." I want to love again I want to feel again I want to live. to live. If just for July. hold my own hand as I lie. in the fields again is July a good month for feeling is the summer stage a good place to cry? July. it's been cold for so long now I try to feel weak to be strong. is July a good month for feeling? is the summer stage a good place to cry? I came here to find something beside the ghosts always taking over my sleep. I'll retreat and resolve I'll release and dissolve this shell always just a little too deep. I think I'll hold on tighter while the earth is lighter I think I'll open up my wings drink down the water I fear take back the pain I left here I came here to find something. There he spoke to me like a photograph "I think you left this here I think you need it back. to love again to pray again to feel something. If just for July." hold my own hand as I lie in the fields again. is July a good month for feeling is the summer stage a good place to cry? July. it's been cold for so long now I try to feel weak to be strong. is July a good month for feeling? is the summer stage a good place to cry? the summer stage- a good place to cry. If just for July. hold my own hand as I lie in the fields again. is July a good month for feeling is the summer stage a good place to cry? July. it's been cold for so long. now I try to feel weak to be strong. is July a good month for feeling is the summer stage a good place to cry the summer stage- a good place to cry, cry, cry
Lighthouse
It got a lot darker here than I thought it would when I disappeared it's funny how a couple of days can make you so afraid you float away you're reaching your hand up now but I can't stand myself for how I took it all for granted it didn't turn out the way I planned it But I, I won't be afraid I'm sure I'll find a place where the dust and haze will clear and the light on the shore will reappear Watching the light reappear blink on, blink again we're still standing here blink on, blink again watching the light reappear blink on, blink out this flickering is maddening but the light, the light will reappear Oh, but the light will reappear It's gonna get more quiet here than I want it to but I hear you, dear you're whispering I'm listening I'm happy about the fact that we're a little stronger than the day before just a little longer till we reach the shore I still get down when you're not around I'm not afraid of the crow anymore But I won't be afraid I'm sure I'll find that place where the dust and the haze might clear oh, and the light, the light will reappear The light will reappear Watching the light reappear blink on, blink again watching the light reappear blink on, blink out watching the light reappear blink on, blink out this flickering is maddening but the light, the light will reappear But I won't be afraid I'm sure we'll find that place oh where the dust and haze will clear, clear and the light, where the light will reappear Watching the light reappear blink on, blink again we're still standing here blink on, blink again watching the light reappear blink on, blink out this flickering is maddening yeah, this flickering is maddening oh, oh, oh this flickering is maddening

Pilot
She says my lifes become a bore Always running around Don't know what for Everyday is the same Theres no way out The things I liked I don't like now I said I feel the exact same way We need some kind of change Something to blame We could fly away On a private plane When we're tired Of life and trying to care And the clouds roll by You sit back and I'll Be your pilot You tell me where Tell me where Maybe we could never see the world like that Wouldn't it feel good to never look back I wanna go to the edge of the earth someday With you at my side You could navigate We could fly away On a private plane When we're tired Of life and trying to care And the clouds roll by You sit back and I'll Be your pilot You tell me where Tell me where Tell me where I don't care Let's go anywhere else tonight Anywhere in the sky You could navigate Tell me where I don't care Let's go anywhere else but here As long as we disappear You just point the way We never had the money or time to get away I wish we won the lottery I wish we had an airplane They wouldn't even notice we were gone for a week or two All the things we'd see All the things we'd do We could fly away On a private plane When we're tired Of life and trying to care And the clouds roll by You sit back and I'll Be your pilot You tell me where Tell me where I could be your pilot And you will tell me where I'll be your pilot If you will tell me where As the clouds rolled by You said pilot I could be your pilot And you will tell me where We never had the money or time to get away
Rain
Sitting underneath the clouds reguarding the fading light a temporary blue sky we stand again with the memory of our secrets the fragility and the sweet kiss the mystery of silence with calm before a storm for healing I watched the colors fading impressionistic painting it'll lie above my head like everything that's blurred and fading I hear the distant warning of everything to come the perfect sky will open up we'll have no place to run Rain I dont know why everythings the same feeling this again summer rain I dont know why everythings the same feeling this again This time reguarding the fading light I'm hanging on but no one can see me crying out for anger and arguing with the sun reaching for that blue sky but its too high and growing fainter I watch the sky exploding impressionistic painting you lie above my head the deeper blacks and blues parading I hear the distant warning of everything to come the perfect sky will open up we'll have no place to run Rain I dont know why everythings the same feeling this again summer rain well I dont know why everythings the same feeling this again Its lonely here in another time is it all more clear now that everybody's crazy it's hazy and maybe the sun will appear Oooh Rain I dont know why everythings the same feeling this again summer rain I dont know why everythings the same why everythings the same feeling this again summer rain summer rain summer rain everythings the same everythings the same feeling this again Sitting underneath the clouds reguarding the fading light temporary blue skies was too high

The Distance
Another quiet Monday evening This is the seventh in a row I'm wide awake and barely breathing In and out the great unknown The distance singing softly Calling out Keeping time From so far I sit and watch the autumn colors change In careful patches leaves are rearranged The west wind blowin' Through the window screen I hope its strong enough to carry me It's been a long long day For a sad sad song How the nights get cold When the summer moves on Am I running too fast Is my heart worn thin Am I running too fast Am I chasing the wind The world won't stop its spinning I pretend I have a choice About staying here or leaving For the laughter and the noise The distance singing softly Calling out Keeping time From so far I sit and watch the daylight dance away I wonder where it goes and where it stays The west wind blowin' Through the window screen And I hope its strong enough to carry me It's been a long long day For a sad sad song How the nights get cold When the summer moves on Am I running too fast Is my heart worn thin Am I running too fast Am I chasing the wind Am I chasing the wind Am I chasing the wind I sit and watch the autumn colors change In careful patches leaves are rearranged The west wind blows Through the window screen And I hope its strong enough to carry me It's been a long long day For a sad sad song How the nights get cold When the summer moves on Am I running too fast Is my heart worn thin Am I running too fast Am I chasing the wind It's been a long long day It's been a long long day It's been a long long day It's been a long long day For a sad sad song How the nights get cold When the summer moves on Am I running too fast Is my heart worn thin Am I running too fast Am I chasing the wind
