Sand

|

|
if you hold sand too tightly in your hand
it will slip through your fingers
my ache for love ran right as i turned left
chasing my freedom
down a lonesome road
with melancholy bones
and it’s peeling the layers of skin
it’s feeling the pain within
it’s keeping my heart alive
as my world comes untied
my restless mind
my restless heart
my world from yours
is far apart
i am forever
forever apart
and it’s peeling the layers of skin
it’s feeling the pain within
if you hold sand too tightly in your hand
it will slip through your fingers
if you hold me too tightly
i’ll slip through
for i am the sand
in the palm of your hand

Glass of Roses

|
our glass of roses
is broken
yet so soft spoken
telling me goodbye
and here we are
where all we’ve ever known
is gone
oh speak slow
but don’t let me go
our glass of roses
is broken
and i’m choking on my words
telling you goodbye

restless love where’d you go
oh you left me blind and callow in the cold
foolishly waiting for my innocence to show
oh the january snow
you were always laughin at me
down on my hands and knees
pickin up the pieces of the mess you left me
i guess you found that funny
i guess you found that funny
oh the january
snow
oh it’s you, it’s you
runnin away from one half of two
trains come and go
people may roam
but i stand alone on my own
with nowhere to go
i got nowhere to go
and i said goodbye
in the january
but i’d rather be alone and blue
and i’d rather be alone without you
oh i said goodbye
in the january
snow
oh the january snow

Canyon Blues

|
we were just kids long ago
bookends on the radio
1968
you know you never asked me to stay
well darlin’
darlin' i wouldn’t have anyway
but i'm singing the canyon blues for you
it’s 1970 now
i’m a lady of the canyon
freewheeling free
let the wind carry me
let the wind carry me
welcome to my house, i am holy
i live by the sun and i feel by the moon
canyon blues for you
for you
you know, you know, you know
you never asked me to stay
well darlin', darlin', darlin'
i wouldn’t have anyway
i'm free
i'm free
i'm free

Old Photographs

i’m trying to be strong for you, to do everything i’ve failed to do so far
but it’s hard living my life
like i’m walking on a tight rope
if i fall, i’ve failed you
age eighteen my reflection shows an old withered soul
grew up so fast now damaged and broken hearted
lookin in the mirror at who i’ve become
a slave to the heavy weight on my soul
with miles and miles to go till satisfaction
it’s like lookin through old photographs wonderin where all the time went
nostalgic at the flood of memories of past days spent tinted with blue
you left me armless in the battlefield with big shoes to fill
i’m constantly fighting with my feet too small
aching with fear of disappointing you at all
i need you here
i feel alone in the world
all alone on my own
my back is bare without you
my heart is heavier still
the pains of the world weighin down on my old, broken soul
i need you to tell my that i’m doin alright, that you’re proud of me still
your voice i haven’t heart in so long
tell me i’m not alone
that you’ll catch me when i fall from the rope of broken expectations
to the cold, hard ground
tell me to get back up and try again
keep holding on
keep holding on
keep holding on
my love

Lady in Lace
05:16
|
|||
|
ribbons of lace
flow through my naked veins
dark blue
an ocean of grace
drowning my pains away
strings of pearls
laced around my lonely world
they sing to me
the song of reverie
close your eyes my love
and slip into the skies above
but shhhhh
i can hear the angels
singing ooooh ooooh
daisies of lace
in a garden of outer space
we are stardust
woven in and out of place
but close your eyes my love
and slip into the skies
above
oh shhhhh shhhhh
i can hear the angels
singing ooooh ooooh
