1. Walk This World
I have slept beside the winter and the green is growing slow
I have watched you find the places hidden by the snow
I have tripped into a valley that is blue till you can see
I want you to come walk this world with me
With the light in our eyes itīs hard to see
Holding on and on to what we believe
Iīm not touched but Iīm aching to be
I want you to come walk this world with me.
And Iīm sucked in by the wonder and Iīm fucked up by the lies
And I dig a hole to lie in and I build some wings to fly
And I think that I could love you īcause you know how to be free
I want you to come walk this world with me.
With the light in our eyes itīs hard to see
Holding on and on ītil we believe
With the light in our eyes itīs hard to see
Iīm not touched but Iīm aching to be
I want you to come, I want you to come
I want you to come walk this world with me.
And itīs burning in our fingers and itīs burning on the road
And I like the way youīre broken and Iīll like you when youīre old
And I see you in the garden and I feel you plant the seed
I want you to come walk this world with me.
With the light in our eyes itīs hard to see
Holding on and on ītil we believe
With the light in our eyes itīs hard to see
Iīm not touched but Iīm aching to be
I want you to come, I want you to come
I want you to come walk this world with me.
2. Heal
Fall for me, my southern cross, my star
Shine for me when love has gone too far
Iīve got you belly-deep in me.
Just a little breath on the water is all we need
Just a little strenght in our hearts -
Enough to heal,
Enough to heal.
Dig me out, canīt leave this love for dead
Hand to mouth weīre picking up the thread
Iīve got you belly-deep in me.
Just a little breath on the water now is all we need
Just a little strenght in our hearts,
Enough to heal,
Enough to heal.
And the sea glistens,
And the waves pull us in
Thereīs something rising up and up.
Just a little breath on the water now,
Just a little strenght in our hearts,
Enough to heal,
Enough to heal.
3. Island
There are parts of me heīll never know,
My wild horses and my river beds,
And in my throat voices heīll never hear.
He pulls at me like a cherry tree,
And I can still move, but I donīt speak about it.
Pretend Iīm crazy, pretend Iīm dead.
Heīs to scared to hit me now, heīll bring flowers istead.
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you,
Somewhere to go.
And the dogwoods shimmer in october sun,
"Oh sweet thing" he sings to me,
"Youīre the only one."
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you, somewhere
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you, somewhere to go.
And I donīt know why I canīt tell my sister,
He spat in my face again, and I donīt want to die here.
You know that dream when your feet wonīt move,
You want to come but your body wonīt let you.
He steals it from me.he steals it from me.
It shines like sweat, like jewels,
Like something that has died to soon.
He fucks with the beauty.
A kiss, a kick, a kiss, a kick, a kiss kiss kick.
He steals it from me.
Itīs out of my hands again.
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you,
Somewhere to go, to go...
4. Throwing Fire At The Sun
I think of venus sinking down into the sea.
And what it is to be alone and have nothing.
I donīt know why you want to leave this space between.
Is it easier to be alone and have nothing ?.
You and me and everyone,
Throwing fire at the sun.
I put my hands up, lay my weapons down.
I know that I was stupid, I was wrong.
You and me and everyone,
Throwing fire at the sun.
If I listen thereīs something deeper that speaks.
If we reach out maybe we could make a little peace.
You and me and everyone,
Throwing fire at the sun.
Remember stealing oranges and how they bled.
And youīre the one who showed me how to touch myself.
You and me and everyone,
Throwing fire at the sun.
Blood is a river, ties you to me,
Blood is a river, ties everyone.
Blood is a river, ties you to me,
Blood is a river, ties everyone.
5. Maybe An Angel
I put my hands where your wings should be,
I put my feet where the earth should be
And I canīt see very far
And when you said that you were dead I hung on.
Something I feel,
You are an angel, or maybe you couldīve been
Something out here
You are an angel or maybe you couldīve been.
Iīve got this light hangs over me
Iīve got this fear cuts into me
And I canīt see very far
And when you said that you were dead I hung on.
Something I feel
You are an angel, or maybe you couldīve been
Something out here
You are an angel or maybe you couldīve been.
See how they run
And nobody said you would go
See how they fall
And I canīt see very far
And when you said you were dead I hung on.
Something I feel
You are an angel, or maybe you couldīve been
Something out here
You are an angel or maybe you couldīve been
See how they run
See how they run
All the same, all the same
Something out here
You are an angel.
6. Truth And Bone
Sometime I can feel you breathing into me.
And these hands I can feel them tugging at my sleeve,
I move through the day in the rhythms that Iīve known.
Iīve got this crazy dream of stripping down to truth and bone.
All of it, all of it, all of it stripped down.
All of it, all of it, all of it, to truth and bone.
My mouth is full of secrets Iīm too afraid to tell.
My bodyīs full of longing for you to know me well.
I move through the day in the rhythms that Iīve known.
Iīve got this crazy dream of stripping down to thruth and bone.
All of it, all of it, all of it stripped down
All of it, all of it, all of it, to truth and bone.
I think of sinking in way over my shoulders,
Let the water, the water take me in and i
Need you to cut through to where Iīm hidden,
Iīm awkward and Iīm too polite and I want
Two stars for arms like orion I could
Breathe in and breathe in and breathe out.
If I could only lose myself
I would lose myself in you,
I move trough the day in the rhythms that Iīve known.
Iīve got this crazy dream of stripping down to truth and bone.
All of it, all of it, all of it stripped down
All of it, all of it, all of it, to truth and bone.
7. Blue Black
Eat your words, eat your heart out
Eat your words, eat your heart out.
Thereīs not much left, just my red dress
Just this feeling that I got
You made me a victim in your christmas kitchen
Itīs my memory itīs your loss.
Blue black, maybe you got something
But the flowers grew back.
And was it familiar when you touched my sister
God, I donīt think thereīs a word for that.
Blue black, maybe you got something
But the flowers grew black.
I gave it away, whore for a day
Itīs so ugly, Iīm still breathing
But you never got my virgin heart
It stayed locked up, itīs still beating.
Blue black, maybe you got something
But the flowers grew black
Eat your words, eat your hat
Eat your words, eat your heart out.
I never felt so clean, you did the sin supreme
You never had a clue, you canīt take it with you
I never felt so clean, you did the sin supreme
You never had a clue, you canīt take it with you.
8. Walking Higher
I carry you with me,
A ghost inside
And in these shattered arms,
Youīre still alive.
I carry you with me,
A holy shrine
And dogs and angels follow
Right behind.
And could I be walking higher,
Could I be right beside her ?.
The bones they buried,
Will feed the trees
But every word you ever spoke,
Is still in me.
And couldi be walking higher,
Could I be right beside her ?.
And I will feel for you in the music,
And I will send that river home.
And I will cry for you sometimes,
When the night is down.
And I raise my head up to the mountains,
Talk to the birds and I fly,
īCause the spirit lives on,
When the body dies.
And could I be walking higher,
Could I be right beside her?
Could I be walking higher,
Could I be right beside her?
9. Light Years
You found me
Drifting,
Big motion like a bird,
Strangest song I ever heard.
Now, now that youīre here
Stay with me light years,
Light years, light years.
No paper, no ring
In the trees where frogs sing.
I brought lilies for you,
Think of all the things were gonna do.
Now, now that youīre here,
Stay with me light years.
I give you a thousand hours,
Making love in the tall sunflowers.
I give you a thousand feet
Down where the waterīs deep.
Sleepy storm, sleepy head,
Limb for limb on my bed.
Now, now that youīre here,
Stay with me light years,
Light years, light years,
Light years, stay with me,
Stay with me, stay.
10. Verona
It gets inside you like the sun,
It makes you wet just like the rain.
It makes you sound so sentimental,
Itīs a lovely kind of pain.
I used to dream,
I used to dream about verona.
I used to dream, to dream,
I used to dream about verona.
And if there ever was an earthquake,
Iīd go down in the earth with you.
And if there ever was an avalanche,
Iīd landslide down with you.
I used to dream,
I used to dream about verona.
I used to dream,
I used to lean over the side of the boat
And get hypnotized by the water and dream.
Itīs up in the trees itīs up to me.
Itīs out of the blue, out to you.
I used to dream,
I used to dream about verona.
Yeah romeo you are priceless, lifeles,
Skipping star to scar to star.
I used to dream youīd be
Slipping, slipping from me.
Burning, breating, breathing,
Sleeping, in me.
I used to lean over the side of the boat
And get hypnotized by the water and dream.
Slipping, slipping, slipping,
Slipping from me.
Burning, burning, breathing,
Sleeping in me.
11. Doubled Up
I saw a mountain from higher above.
I held your hand and I was doubled up in love.
Big sky above me, a river inside me
And Iīm doubled up in love.
Youīre watching your step but you fall as youīre walking.
You take it in stride but still you fall as youīre walking.
Big sky above me, a river inside me
And Iīm doubled up in love.
Feels good it feels like poetry
Donīt ask me to explain it just
Feels good, like poetry,
Iīm doubled up again.
Look at the sky,
Lift off like an aeroplane,
Watch the ground come up to meet you.
Big sky above me, a river inside me
And Iīm doubled up in love.
Feels good, it feels like poetry,
Donīt ask me to explain it just
Feels good, like poetry.
Iīm doubled up again.
12. Sugar
On the vermont transit bus I leaned my arm into alittle chink of sun,
Going somewhere older than I was,
Strapped into something tight, keeping me small.
I dug into you like rock climbing;
Too scared of coming down,
Too scared of going up,
Too scared of rockface.
I shouldīve split my sides or spilled my guts or hit you or something,
But I was good, and your fatherīs little pancakes
So round and perfect and me sitting up too straight,
Laughing in wrong places, kissing you,
Kissing up, kissing too soon.
When the cock crows
When the morning comes where will I go?
When the cock crows
When the love is gone where will I go?
And when you got me pregnant I stopped the party and
I stopped the typewriter and I stopped your dumb ball game in the red barn and i
Stopped your father and bled instead.
And I felt the lie - something sticky on the inside,
A bitter wind in my throat,
Stopping me wanting,
In my stomach, in my head and you said
Sugar sugar, you couldnīt come come
Sugar sugar, without your mother
Sugar sugar, you couldnīt taste it
Sugar sugar, in my throat.
When the cock crows
When the morning comes where will I go?
When the cock crows
When the love is gone where will I go?
