Run on Me
05:20
|
|||
I wasted the years that all of them had
thinking I had it all in my hands
But one was in each, rather than both
Too petrified to choose one to throw
Without anybody, without any gold
Burnt all the nights painting my nose
This isn't a plan, it's more like a note
just in case it all unfolds
Stay out late
Keep friends in sight
Last names are lifting left and right
Sooner ain't better
Don't race this life
Just to keep your queen tonight
Take care of my sister
Take care of my folks
And do what you want with all of my clothes
The old homestead
A light warm glow
I want it bright when I get to go
Rail on me
Run on me
Donate your soul to me
Rail on me
Run on me
Donate your soul to me.

Eliana

Come out, come out the fire's out
They're filing in, they'll start the count
Come out, come out please God now
The very least just make a sound
We'll hide away 'till maybe May
The ground is soft with longer days
We'll change the locks and buy some paint
And pray for hardwood underneath
Eliana, don't brace for rain
Eliana, it'll rain here every day
Eliana, just sing a sad song
Eliana, sing Sorrow all night long
There's demons in the house tonight
The old man left some gold in sight
He held the door and left the lights
They kicked their feet and drank the wine
Eliana, don't brace for rain
Eliana, it'll rain here every day
Eliana, just sing a sad song
Eliana, sing Sorrow all night long
While your daddy sleeps, with the TV on
And your mother's getting older than she'll let on
And your brother's back home from another endless war
Hiding in his room he's waiting out another storm
All your friends are dancing like nothing has changed
They'll just blame Jesus Christ for what becomes their fate
Then you'll meet another on a winter Wednesday night
But you just can't beat it but god damn you tried
Eliana, don't brace for rain
Eliana, it'll rain here every day
Eliana, just sing a sad song
Eliana, sing Sorrow all night long

There's time
It renders nothing
But everything to me
I've been tripping over beads
Setting sober scenes
An end has been decided
Though I'm undecided
I've lost nights for you
And my ardor too
Though I should live in salt
For leaving you
A belle abandoned
I set the standard
Now I'm hanging at the hangar
I'll own the gamut
Though I won't understand it
I can't unseen these slights
And I can't unheard these sounds
So I see another city
And I hear another town
But we're so damn familiar
And our bones are so bare
I think we're taller
But I'll leave the harbor
Somewhere in these slights
I'm still on your side
What did you do to my eyes
A belle abandoned
I set the standard
Now I'm hanging at the hangar
I'll own the gamut
Though I won't understand it

Bloodbricks

Oh brother, don't forget
The nights we burnt here
the night we met
The arching gateway to the rest
When all the highways have to end
There's blood on the red bricks
you can't even pick them out.
There's tears in the river,
you can't even see them now
There's snow on the windshield
the only car in the town
There's words hiding from you
that haven't yet left my mouth
We wore this place out
We wore this place out
Through all the thunder and all the doubt
We wore this place out
Oh I will ride
You can leave if you'd like
Full and by
I will ride
And you can leave if you'd like
Full and by
You can leave if you'd life
We wore this place out
We wore this place out
Through all the thunder and all the doubt
We wore this place out

All the Suns

Thought I'd be so much more than this
Thought I'd see so much more than this
Thought I'd see so much more of you
Thought I'd be so much more like you
Missed my chances
Missed my exit
Missed my chance and I missed you
Missed my chances
Missed my exit
All the suns I've used on you
You said that we'd be famous
Just like that it was gone
As that winter frigid weather
Lost the brush with marching thaw
Disconcerting, you were early
Now the time's not right, right now
But I'm certain, you were early
Now the time's not right, right now
Missed my chances
Missed my exit
Missed my chance and I missed you
Missed my chances
Missed my exit
All the suns I've used on you

Snow
04:20
|
|||
The light behind me
it lives in my mind
all of my nights
It means a minute to me
with all of the line you laid and then
pulled away from me
Now that I am older
and you've not much grown here
surrounded by snow
If you don't feel the sheets
then how will you know
and how will you grow
Back in your still
where you wash your hands
of a lesser man
and the pain that he holds
How's it that you know
he looks like your brother
bathing in snow
Sell it all away
if you won't behave
well you won't have to stay
Chronic leaver
but I don't want to leave her
despite all the snow
and the blood that it holds
Back in your still
where you wash your hands
of a lesser man
and the pain that he holds

Cowboy Magic

Cowboy magic will fade away
There's no circling the dates
Cowboy magic will fade away
The kids will overtake the stage
They'll take the day where the beads fell
And this old river knows it well
They'll take the sun, leave us the swells
This old river knows it well
The only daughter of the ladies' man
will unglue the dance floor from his hands
The rights burn low, so hide the marlboros
When brighter lights shine on the old chouteau
The cowboys tip their hats to belvederes
They're all too busy with the diamonds here
to see them patch their holes and ride away
And fade away as all the days decay
One by one they're led out towards the coast
The sunlight follows everywhere they go
The radios they'll get thrown away
Littered all along the riverbank
But when I go to those mountains
With valleys more like oceans of smoke
And when I drink from their rivers
I'll be drinking all on my own

Manchester

The night I think is over
We lasted longer than the rest
The most unhappy hour
Can't be as good as it gets
We hate it when the lights go on
But every time we'll play the same damn song
My eyes have lied to me before
And in the morning you'll be balled up on the floor
Your eyes will lie the same as mine
And I'll be only what you might see some times
I'm here tonight just like the last
Won't get the night but we can get the money back
We're facing less than what's behind
Don't want to waste what we might have left in a line
I swore I'd never let her
Yet we're alone together
Under the moon I'd ask about
The only thing bright in this town
Avoided smoke with all the joes
Still going home with smoke-filled clothes
Tip-toe around the mines of men
Tomorrow they'll be here again
I'm here tonight just like the last
Won't get the night but we can get the money back
We're facing less than what's behind
Don't want to waste what we might have left in a line

Mayor of Mont Clare
05:14
|

By now, I've been gone to long
By now, any weight's been withdrawn
Holed up in a silent home
One boat's already gone
With a steady hand from you
I will bring you no good news
Instead of the altar I'll be in the pews
These white gloves they might get some use
In my heart where you'll always be
In my heart where you're never weak
In my heart where you're wild and free
In my heart where you'll never bleed
Rain's been rolling all down the steps
The wind from the city has made this mess
It sits on the tiles, it ruined a dress
But oh dear god don't you let it get the rest
In my heart where you'll always be
In my heart where you're never weak
In my heart where you're wild and free
In my heart where you'll never bleed

On a spring night
River runs bright
Tryna live out my own advice
You know you're gonna live in my mind
You know you're gonna live in my mind
Brightalize it, brightalize it, though we're months away yet
I get a wisp of you on nights just like these
When the sirens they are singing all along the city streets
You got smoke in your eyes, but we can see for many miles
Hide it all for a little while, run through ruins tonight
I wish I cherished it
I wish I nourished it
When the primrose fell on my skin
It's been engrained in me since then
Now when I am with you I will not divert my mind
Cause the dreams they maybe do come true once in a while
You're a first and last name and everyone they know your face
Now every place that I go I take another one with me
I don't wanna be spent
The way you spent me then
You own the last voice I'll ever hear
If I do not return to thee
So much further from the river
And so much closer to the sea
Inside a different state in a different state
That is much too far from me
That is much too far from me
That is much too far from me
Can hear the band below
As the city starts to slow
You're not a drifter if you won't be alone
Hand your wings out, there's no need now
when they'll put you up for free
Do you feel held, I don't feel so well
when my prime's packed and ready to leave
When you go out on your own now
diamond boys won't look past your needs
You've got all my mind is that alright
Everyone moves on but me
