Skeleton Glow

For my brothers and father and mother
Hello from the garden shard
The spirit is in me, it's alive and it's dreaming
Even in the loneliest dark
I went into the world as the wind and the ember
And I returned in the light as fire
I row down the river spreading the word
Love, because love is all
And though doing was hard, the worry was harder
Like the bird, I let it go
Out there it will fly, with tears in its eyes
In another life it was meant for
Glow, skeleton glow
Out there in the valley somewhere
Glow, beautiful glow
When it comes my way I'll have no fear

I unbutton my shirt
And I fall like a whisper into the world
And while the light was sweet
It was undeserved
The dream was born out of a blind love
And the promised land
Somewhere inside
It will take some time to let it go
It's hard to dance with a broken heart
It will take some time to let it go
It will take time
I have seen the hills where I grew up
But my home in this world it has no name
I'm not running away
I have just arrived
I will reap this earth til the day I die
Like a spirit wing, the crescent sun
I feel the love where ever I go
And there comes a time
When you meet the lord
I hope to say I was good inside

Love & Time

The knife is in the wood
The deal is on the floor
The lipstick is on the pillow
But the taste is no more
The dream is in the basin
Waiting to be spun
I wonder where you're living
I wonder where you go
That night I had you until six in the morning
Until the sun came up
And even in silence I found comfort
I found something true
Thunder is on the road
And the weather is changing fast
Your laughter somehow echoes
Even still from the past
Like the haunted mountain pass
Where no one sets their foot
Like the zenith and the when
Where all losers lose
Down the highway I thought I saw you crying
I thought I saw tears in your eyes
I saw the teeth of the world
And you were its face
Just for a moment
I know the body is built to handle tragedy
And struggle in every nerve
And I know the heart don't last forever
But the blood always stays pure
Dear kind human being
Dear kind human being
And your lips were blue
Blue from the wine that you drank this morning
And what you said to me
What you whispered in my ear
I will take with me for forever
Until the giant rises, until the widows cry
Until the sky folds up
Until mother's goodbye, until father night
Until we meet again

The World Will Call

The kindred lives and the world will call
Nothing shall pass me by
Just before the tide and the sunrise
I stand before my master
Yeah, Where life is long and love eternal
I dive below in the groove
Why do I feel like a stranger?
Why do I feel at all?
The island moves and the whole world trembles
The same old song and dance
Thank you lord for all that burns on the surface
For all that revels in its light
For I have seen the good in this place
Waiting for the world to call
And in his car, in the backseat
He turned his true face to me
And I saw the light
I heard his true name in me
Like a spark of fire
And then he kissed me
With only love for me
And he put two fingers right on my head
And as he looked down the barrel he told me
"Only the dead"

All Your Dead Mantras

I have heard you sing, you evil thing
I've seen your bird crying
You gotta return to me
Return to me at once
I have seen your sport on every port
Where the saints go marching
There is no place for you
No place for you to go
And I've seen you strange
Trouble will find you, trouble will come
Trouble will find you wherever you go
Trouble will find you, trouble will come
Trouble will find you, trouble will follow you down
I have seen you chase the slow parade
I've seen your willow shaking
Has it ever been true to you?
Was it true to you at all?
And greet the shine, the wild sunshine
The sea and the mountains
There is nothing to see there
Nothing holding on
Cause I've seen you strange

Farewell Disco Baby

In the fields of lost lovers falls the night
And the summer peach explodes in rising light
Have you ever seen longing take its form
I have many times my friend
I remember the house that swallows laughter
Where we used to hide every morning after
In pink and tickled bodies
A thousand years from now
And somewhere inside your ambient soul
There is still mystery and fire, I know
But you no longer prefer it
You no longer know how to deserve it
Yeah we used to have the world and truth in our eyes
Like the mule kicking, just looking for a fight
Somethings are a part of growing up
Somethings are a part of growing dumb
But I remember your face, you sang hallelujah
Your hands in your pockets, the light shining through you
I remember your words, thank god we're alive
I remember your good-inside
And all the will in the world couldn't bend a spoon
There is nothing but silence in my room
But safely sleeps the heart
In quiet tender
I have seen the fall where it all went wrong
We once were two, now I am one
If there's nothing left out there
I'd rather just stay in here
Until the spring of leaves, the young and the beach
The final and last of everything clean
When the saints go out marching
When the steady goes out dreaming
Oh love of my life, wind in my sails
When the fields go dark and golden fades
Don't ever let it go
Perfection can't be recognized

In the reflection of the window
I saw a man dressed in white
But the words exploded in my mouth
In the darkness I saw the light of a cigarette
But no light lasts forever
No life is without questions
And what have driven me to love
If not my vices
In my clothes I fare well
I've spent my life falling in love with music
Like a bird holding its breath
And I might have lost some cool
In the search for truth
Oh lord please forgive me
I'd give it all away just to be free of it
Don't ever leave me
In the mountain I saw a thousand eyes
But none was ever seeing
In the city I met a thousand faces
But none was ever speaking
