Feet on the Ground

Hold me down, while I'm still around,
Darling I need you to keep my feet on the ground,
You may grow up while I'm growing down,
But Darling I need you to keep my feet on the ground.
When I'm here, I know where I stand,
When I'm there, I don't know.
So hold me down,
While I'm still around,
Darling I need you to keep my feet on the ground.
Don't go, don't leave me,
I don't want to be alone.
Don't go, don't leave me,
Don't leave me alone.

I walked 'til I found the train
To the ship that took me away
To find a pocket of coins.
All those years, the thought on my mind was:
How long 'til I can come home.
The wind to carry me home
Made waves of anger and foam.
No way or passage to find.
As the sea dragged me down
The thought on my mind was:
How long 'til I can come home.
Way, haul away.
Haul away Joe.

Mustard Seed (Lullaby)
04:12
|
|||
|
Pull across the stone
'Cause we're not rolling out tonight.
Everything we've known
Will be back with the early light,
Will be back with the early light.
Tucked inside inside so warm
Under here's all the world we need.
Never mind the dawn,
The sun's just a mustard seed,
Oh the sun's just a mustard seed.
Melt against the storm,
Crumble down with the rocks and weeds,
And never mind the dawn,
The sun's just a mustard seed.
Never mind the dawn,
The sun's just a mustard seed.

The Demon
04:50
|

|
He came back arched walking,
down among the real,
Chased by shadow's fingers,
As I ran across the field.
Hoping hat I'd catch her as she fell among the weeds,
And we'd carry the little dance of death that we'd agreed.
Now my body's broken,
I own you.
Lily-livered lessons learned a day too late,
As all at once the stars of love
Collapse to holes of hate.
Holding tightly to the chains around our hearts,
They're pulling us together as we try to fall apart.
Now my body's broken,
I own you.
I own you. Yaddle and dah do dah, yaddle and dah do dah.

Head Above the Water
04:06

Keep your head above the water,
And your eyes beneath the clouds.
Tell your daddy's only daughter
She's the girl I love.
With her hands that tell the weather,
With her eyes that dance for me,
With her lips that whisper 'Never',
She's the only girl for me.
I won't fight to have and hold her,
I won't run to join the fray.
Though I'll never make a soldier,
Meet me on my wedding day.
Keep your head above the water,
And your eyes beneath the clouds.
Tell your daddy's only daughter,
She's the girl I love.
She's the girl I love.

Bus Song
04:45

|
Check watch,
More later than not.
It's all that we've got,
But, so, we can't complain.
So near,
Now shoulder those tears,
Just rest a while here,
And listen to the rain.
Slow miles,
Now let's see those smiles,
We'll do it in style,
And grinning through the pain.
Close now,
The engine so loud.
It's more than a vow,
You'll love him, and how!
We'll start our lives again.

Hare Running Blues
04:05
|

|
Now, now I've gone,
Hope your crying lasts all day.
Hope your crying lasts all day.
Hope your crying lasts all day.
Can't set the hare running,
Then cry when I don't stay.
Now, now I've gone,
Hope your crying lasts all year.
Hope your crying lasts all year.
Hope your crying lasts all year.
Can't set the hare running,
Then cry when I disappear.
Now, now I've gone,
Hope you cry for ever more.
Hope you cry for ever more.
Hope you cry for ever more.
Can't set the hare running,
Then cry when I close the door.

My Sedative
04:19
|
|||
|
What to do, what to do?
If I roll over one more time,
I'll wear my way through.
Belly ache point of view,
I'll tear away the promises
That made you so blue.
No alternative when I'm alone with you,
"It's all relative," they tell you, and it's true.
You're my sedative, can't sleep without you,
So I'll go rolling on.
Only hours, lonely night,
Face down desperate,
I'm losing the fight.
Seems you knew what to do.
You'll make me look again,
Won't sleep 'til I do.
No alternative when I'm alone with you,
It's all relative, they tell you, and it's true.
You're my sedative, can't sleep without you,
So I'll go rolling on.

Blueberry Down
05:55
|

|
Crossed all my fingers, didn't do me no good,
And I was sure that I had touched enough wood,
Wished on all the spilled salt that I could.
I thought I saw you when you couldn't be there,
I wished you were, but I don't think you'd care,
If you knew, you could be anywhere.
And I cried, and I cried,
And I lied, so sorry that I lied.
And I'm sad that you couldn't come to stay,
But I'm happy to say that I loved you anyway.
