Slowly Burning

 

"AT THE JUNCTION"

I can see it flying down the track
Coming so fast now there's no going back
It's hard to say "So long" to you, my friends
I guess all good things come to an end

*I'm sorry that I'm so down
I didn't mean to make you frown
Right now I'm feeling more lost than found
But my feet are still on the ground

There's a boy sitting in a field
He doesn't know how to feel
His baby left him without a goodbye
Left him hanging with his head in the sky

*I'm sorry that I'm so down
I didn't mean to make you frown
Right now I'm feeling more lost than found
But my feet are still on the ground

Another turning point and nowhere to go
So I'm just waiting for a new path to show
Those blurry nights might be a place to start
To try and find out where I left my heart

 

"FOR ALL LIFE'S ROADS"

Oh Nova, you shine so bright
But what I'm doing isn't right
How can I see you when there isn't any light?

Oh Muse, you're always around
Playing in my head and bringing me down
But without you, I wouldn't have what I've found

Oh Love, you left yesterday
I tried to find you but something was in the way
I see you everywhere, but you never seem to stay

 

"FOREST (EARLY MORNING STRUM)"

INSTRUMENTAL

 

"SLOWLY..."

I feel I'm slowly burning
Myself down to the wick
'Cause when I'm turning corners, my mind throws a new trick

The sun is slowly rising
And I'm opening my eyes
Trying to remember what I dreamt and what I lied

The sky is slowly sinking
And I'm lying on my lawn
And in my mind I'm thinking of what is here & what has gone

The stars are slowly forming
Into a pattern that's quite clear
And in my mind I'm warming to the one I once held dear

INSTRUMENTAL

A car is slowly approaching
But you don't know who's inside
But the news they bring leaves you coasting on a really steep decline

A voice is slowly shouting
The same things it said yesterday
But this music just keeps drowning all those awful things away

The moon is slowly rising
And I'm cross-legged on my bed
And this song I'm improvising is making too much sense

I know I'm slowly burning
Like a match struck by fire
And through my mind I'm yearning to do what I desire

INSTRUMENTAL

I feel I'm slowly burning
Myself down to the wick
'Cause when I'm turning corners, my mind throws a new trick

I know I'm slowly burning
Like a match struck by fire
And though my mind is yearning, I can't get any higher

 

"JUMPER"

You never looked so calm, til you were almost gone
You never looked so free, til you were leaving me

*I'm falling, I'm falling down
I'm heading for the ground

I'm falling, I'm falling down
There's no one else around

The mirror doesn't lie when you're falling from the sky
The glass doesn't break at the bottom of the Lake

*I'm falling, I'm falling down
I'm heading for the ground

I'm falling, I'm falling down
There's no one else around

INSTRUMENTAL

I watched you take a dive and come back alive
I watched the dream unfold, as I hit the water, cold

*I'm falling, I'm falling down
I'm heading for the ground

I'm falling, I'm falling down
There's no one else around

REPEAT

 

"I KNOW I SAW PLEIADES (AT LEAST THAT MUCH I KNOW)"

As I lay here in my lawn chair
Not knowing what comes next
I've stared at you so long and I still don't know what to expect
And I don't know how you do it
With those lights turned way down low
But I know I saw Pleiades, that much I do know

So I ate some wild mushrooms
As I held a trial-by-fire
While some music played and lovers swayed, I just kept getting higher
And I should have been in love myself
But I never know what to say
But I know I saw Pleiades, even though they didn't stay

Death came calling the other day
On the telephone
Took another one so young, hit a little close to home
I can't say when I'll see the ones I love
Who have all gone
But I know I'll see Pleiades, until she too moves on

Athena's come 'round here again
Cast sweet sleep on my eyes
When I saw her driving away, it came as no surprise
I wish I could say the things in my heart
To the girl I love
But I know I can say them to Pleiades, in the skies above

INSTRUMENTAL

The alarms went off this morning
Just 'round 6AM
I saw you lying so serene, not wanting it to end
I don't know how to make things work
That's one thing I can't see
But I know I saw Pleiades, she's always there for me
