Lifeguard tower's empty So I climb up, sit inside An hour after sunset Loose ends drawing A sketch of night Winter Sky knows I'm watching I hear the Song I'm off to find It Covered by my heartbeat Lovingkindness in an ancient tide Running down the shoreline With my arms spread, Turning circles, spinning sky Sailing free in my own skin Color my feet Won't You take me in Now, one frame at a time

Jackie Bird 03:40
Jackie Bird, With white angel wings On a thread of pearls I'll carry you And your ballet shoes Across the water We'll all walk down to the corner Of the liquor store I'll wait outside and wonder what it's for Those black bags Under vampire wings To dull your senses, Make your head ring To carry you and your ballet shoes A little further Your thoughts will climb the breeze All washed out and blurred Softly smiling with your arms Around my neck for all it's worth (I feel so sure) Jackie Bird With blue-shaded eyes, Feathers in your curls

Joal's Car 02:50
I used to walk down your driveway To the passenger side Of my friends old car Scraping frost from the window Climbing over the seat Throwing a sweater on And I turn the key Look up at your window I see your silhouette Below the shades Waving at me I flip on the lights Slowly pull away Waving back to you So in love with you I used to drive so carefully Down the dimly lit streets Playing the music loud All the lights were green The wind blows through the window Yeah, it still won't roll up But my hands are warm My sleeves are long My mind is calm And I'm driving home

Kiss My Fate 03:27
A hint of cold in your soft green eyes My love on a leash I don't recognize As she stares at me from the ledge Gonna kiss my fate And I can't keep up With your furious pace If you don't slow down, My knees will cave When she stares at me from the ledge Gonna kiss my fate On the way back to the start of it all Flashing through a foggy slideshow And she stared at me from the ledge I just kissed my fate
7.
When I was young, Younger than before I never saw the truth Hanging from the door And Now I'm older See it face to face And now I'm older Gotta get up, clean the place And I was green, Greener than the hill Wear the flowers grew And sun shone still And now I'm darker Than the deepest sea Just hand me down, Give me place to be And I was strong, Strong in the sun I thought I'd see When day is done But now I'm weaker Than the palest blue Oh, so weak in this need for you
8.
New day is dawning We're on the run A frost at our feet Folds to the rising Sun I'm hand in hand with you Hope we get lost soon Let me be: Happy, loved and peaceful No ignorance leading me astray Beautiful harmony Lost to the Yin & Yang

10.
Skeleton trees line the road I'm walking slow Wind tries to blow my eyes closed I hardly know There's a shore before the horizon There's a Morning Star that's rising Emptiness has carved me to the bone To let my love grow To be filled with all this beauty I'm shown To swim with the flow I'm ancient as all I can see I'm already complete
