Letters My Worry Sent
05:48

there’s a black breeze it’s blowing cold
through the holes in the back of my mind
through a hallway of pictures past
sweet moments of sanguine skies
now my highs lay a little low
and those days in frames seem so far gone
spinning sideways in search of ways just
to ease my head into thinking I’m better off
and soon the
icy waters they sting my eyes
and the river it’s roaring again
and I’m throwing fists at an aimless case
reading letters my worry sent
maybe I’ll fly to a land far off
a postcard place where time it stands still
And ill drive around with the windows open
just revel in the sweet new life I’ve made
but it don’t come easy like that, no
cuz every song its screamin your name
and soon the
icy waters they sting my eyes
and the river it’s roaring again
and I’m throwing fists at an aimless case
reading letters my worry sent
the shiver of living alone
it’s what’s kept you here all along
and I’m aching with all that I’ve got
but it’s time for you to be gone
let the pen run dry for its words were all wrong
and soon the
icy waters they sting my eyes
and the river it’s roaring again
and I’m throwing fists at an aimless case
reading letters my worry sent

Gone Before Autumn

Lights start falling and the chill in the air grows
you can feel it in the way the wind blows
remember the days when time froze?
Be gone before autumn comes
Dim lights are the virtue of my days
You leave me alone in this craze
Be wary for the winter it betrays
Be gone before autumn comes.
Fly on home
Forget the way my name feels on your tongue
Breathe me out
And let it go before the green is done
Breathe it in breathe it out come October
Im sorry but this loves over
There’s nothing left to show her
Be gone before autumn comes
Fly on home
Forget the way my name feels on your tongue
Breathe me out
And let it go before the green is done
Tell me whats life like when its simple
Ive never had the chance to try
Tell me whats life like when its simple
Ive never had the chance to try
Oh oh oh noo
Oh no
Ohh no no no no no
Oh oh no
Oh no
Oh Nah nah nah nah no
Fly on home
Forget the way my name feels on your tongue
Breathe me out
And let it go before the green is done

Small And Sweet

Oh days when the lazy river it pulled us
Skin soaked with sun on the old ground of home
Birds all hold names there old henry friend crow
Named by a grandfather far too long ago
But buried since the heart of youth
Lay times golden burden
Years fly set free
Days from home roll on
So small and so sweet
Long long has it been known
These lost towns well they grow old
Age lures us on till blindly we’re grown
But buried since the heart of youth
Lay times golden burden
Years fly set free
Day from home roll on
So small and so sweet

Foolish Trend
04:17

When I was falling the clouds were held at bay
Rain fell with diamonds honey dripped from words youd say
And when I was falling the moon itd light the dark
Silence the thunder heard roaring from the start
Funny how I can think its figured out
Misteps they wash away when your lips grace my mouth
But oh trouble was sent
Oh no misfired again
Oh no that foolish trend
Of thinking im falling again
When I was falling well I thought you were my own
Too lost naïve to see your gaze lay cold as stone
So now im a stray dog just begging for a bone
Left lonesome once again just falling all alone
But oh trouble was sent
Oh no misfired again
Oh no that foolish trend
Of thinking im falling again
But oh trouble was sent
Oh no misfired again
Oh no that foolish trend
Of thinking im falling again
But oh trouble was sent
Oh no misfired again
Oh no that foolish trend
Of thinking im falling again

Nightwalk

I dream I fall in star kissed lakes
Where evening echoes out my name
I dream of moons that guide my walk
Where nights are born just to get lost
Oh I will fly there in my sleep tonight
To that place I know I’m doing right
Through the darkness I will see
Roots that grew inside of me
That hold me to my purpose and that purpose it is good
sleep come fly me to the woods
I dream I run back home to you
But I’ve got plans I must see through
Oh I will fly there in my sleep tonight
To that place I know I’m doing right
Through the darkness I will see
Roots that grew inside of me
That hold me to my purpose and that purpose it is good
sleep come fly me to the woods
I’ll do my best to make a life out here
but concrete walls blind all I see
Wont you take me where the air is clear
To that place I long to breathe
Through the darkness I will see
Roots that grew inside of me
That hold me to my purpose and that purpose it is good
sleep come fly me to the woods
