Intro 01:28
2.
White Eyes 04:41
We threw our white eyes out to the sea And made sense out of our minds Who cast the moon into my dreams Treading so lightly Not to make a sound Brighten the hues upon the moon Burn once the candle ever dimming Please let me be empty of the constant pull If you could only ask me now You don't have to hide your love from me
3.
Take Me 06:14
Early Morning Even before the sun comes You're on my mind But I can't heed the warning Something about the red hued October Sky Day is falling Color is lost now From above And I can feel it coming Even before the wind blows Through my mind Inside out now Voices that make up a gentle hum Inside out now Breath in the dark light with me Take me like a storm Hold me in your eye As long as I am warm Hold me in your eye Take me like a storm Hold me in your eye All my love without a home Lighting Strikes Cuts through the static tones Of my Radio Directions coming Plans for leaving this place Behind Inside out now Voices that make up a gentle hum Inside out now Breath in the dark light with me Take me like a storm Hold me in your eye As long as I am warm Hold me in your eye Take me like a storm Hold me in your eye All my love without a home Don't let me slow you down
4.
Never Been 05:20
You don't have to Dry your eyes But if you could I could dry mine too And you could take those thoughts of leaving And put 'em in your shoe And what follows Must make a sound All my tears Falling down You could take those thoughts of leaving And lay me on the ground Never been so sweet Never been All my tears just roll right down To a sea where the waves crash without making a sound All my tears just roll Such a scene at the heart of the night Fields open up as the stars take flight Moon light shines on me Your face too, the broken light Wash your thoughts away At last there's nothing to say Nothing to say Never been
5.
Lucy 03:18
Lucy let it lie where you are Trying to trade your time for shooting stars Lucy let it lie where you are Sunlight and submarines Will only carry you for a little while Taxicabs and moonbeams Don't you know I only see you when you smile Let me let yourself inside your mind Won't you let me break you one more time? Lucy let it lie where you are Trying to trade your time for shooting stars Lucy let it lie where you are Spoken dreams and woven words She's come to see broken hearts on parade Guarded eyes and butterflies Her smile shines the light that she's made Let me let yourself inside your mind Won't you let me break you one more time?
6.
With You 04:02
White linen Got her white heels Got her soft skin Love is those eyes red From crying Stopping Crying Again And if you can't take it You stay longer Always waiting For more The return of distance Despite the distance As if we are meeting at the ending Just like we had done in the beginning Entwined shifting Entwined With You And if you can't take it You stay longer Always waiting For more Love is the white dress Running through the subway hall Looking for a way out Falling for it Trailing long hair in the light Flickering electricity in the night Entwined shifting Entwined with you Love is All Red And if you can't take it You stay longer Always waiting For more Give me Give me More
7.
There's a thought, which is racing through your mind Like a line, that just won't bite the time Fine thread following the needle through the thread And like all the other songs I've written, This one goes out to you now I've seen this river rolling for some time Things come in waves Like the wake of a ship rolling out to sea Just like the birds, I sing a crooked song And I don't want this to die Like a dog, wet from the rain Things just as they are, I'll be coming back your way I've seen this river rolling for some time Things come in waves Like the wake of a ship rolling out to sea Just like the birds, I sing a crooked song And I don't want this to die
8.
We lead a good life This world of dreams Always Love Surrounding Me Yet still the blind Not everybody learns how to sing a song It doesn't matter when its dark Welcome to our world Universal Dream In every moment known And every single star you see at night The moment of embrace Will lead you to your knees Arms reach out to you With us you'll never have to be alone And in the moonlight Soft and sweet Singing love The world complete
9.
Compared to an old oak tree I'm soft bodied And I'm scared of having only what I need I've prepared a bath to see if I can breathe underwater Underneath And how light can creep and crawl And how night can see it all And how might a boat so small Carry all my sorrow Torn up in the sun I'd like to say cheers to all those unwed Who got some warm tears rolling in their heads I got some cold fears turning my cheeks red And I don't know why Torn up in the sun
10.
Well the birds on the trees Have been sitting there for a while I know cause I've been watching them Watching them for a while Well the birds on the trees Have been trying to learn to fly I know cause I've been watching them Watching them for a while And if you wait hard enough And if you look into their eyes You'll find a light that's quite surprising Like an octopus jelly mind The moon is swelling The birds are yelling But I'm not telling The moon The birds I'm not telling
