Take me to your island
Take me to your inner room
Watch the old world dying
Underneath a blood red moon
Sitting at my kitchen table
Shining like a morning star
That disappears without warning
I know you’re never far
A weathervane is waiting on the wind
We are balanced on a spoon
We could be together now
Once I was a sailor
Once I was the jack of hearts
Like some old-time fable
Before the hero comes apart
Come in a little closer
Before it’s over
We’re already there
We all stood in silence
At the changing of the guard
You know the pangs of blindness
Aren’t the same when it gets dark
When I climbed
to see the dying of the day
I heard music all around
We can be together now
Like we were back then
When we thought this would never end

Tell me mother about this this place?
What that writing on the wall
Will they shoot me into space
Will you catch me
When I fall down gasping
It’s another lifetime
Another trip around the sun
blacked out neighborhood in twilight
Burning fences to keep warm
Once I was a tightrope walker
At the mercy of a gust
Stepping high above the mountains
Above the dogs we couldn’t trust
We will take flight when they find us
No, they never will again
I know they only check the corners
Now our world will have no end
Where’d you come from I don’t know
Do you have papers I don’t know
How old are you I couldn’t tell
What’s your name and can you spell it
Who’s your maker I don’t know
Are you certain I don’t know
You will have to go back home
Where’d you come from I don’t know
I would not have put you on the boat If I thought
The water posed more of a threat to us
Than staying on the land
Waters rise,
If we only had more time to buy
But we didn’t read the signs
You’re a refugee now
You’re a refugee too
Is that your child, yes it is

I don’t need you anymore
It’s got too complicated
Heavy, Heavy water lies
‘Round all of our creations
Open eyes and open mouth
I’d starve on this sensation
Let me step outside myself
And take a small vacation
Fall asleep
And dare to dream
That I’m a fish in a cold dark sea
If I had a dollar for each time you were inside me
I build a tower to the sky
And place your jewels beside me
Trade the laughter for the grief and ecstasy
But you know that some things you can’t take away from me
We’ve had our problems, but you know they’ve come and gone
When it ain’t right
Don’t mean that it was wrong
Coral shells
Calm myself

I’ve seen the writing on the wall
I’ve heard the wild birds sing their sweet summer songs
I’ve been chained to someone’s heart
And watched the pieces splinter off
I’ve loved more than I have hurt
I’ve pickled the crumbs around your door
I have hung on every word
Though I heard them all before
On a barstool in Suley
I took more than I can tell
Whiskey and beer to chase the MDMA
Trying to drown a dog from hell
Thought I heard that little bird
Was just an echo in the spring
I bowed down to the absurd
After I had crowned it king
Chased the moon across the water
Climbed a rusted staircase to a star
Faced the faceless, bowed in wonder
Kissed the sun, woke up in my car
If I hear that you’ve grown cold
I’ll know to believe that it’s not true
It’s not the light that disappears
It’s the eye that cannot see
In the wheel of an age
The cogs churn outside your door
Chaos stutters as it sings
But always leaves you wanting more
Chased the moon across the water
Climbed a rusted staircase to a star
Faced the faceless, bowed in wonder
Kissed the sun, woke up in my car
If you get home before I do,
Leave a light on
Who knew the angels could be so cruel
Leave a light on
The great elusive absolute don’t know
Leave a light on
If you get home before I do

Falcon's Heart

Hey little bird
What did you see?
The storms all collecting on the ridge
There’re bones washing in from the deepest canyons in the ocean
The shirts on the line will dry in time
I never minded the waiting
There’s nothing worse than dying of thirst
While its raining
Now the wind has blown
Your nest to the ground
You were gone too long
Now it’s a long way down
I climbed out onto the roof
And I shouted out to you
But something was wrong
The feeling was gone
Thought I had better things to do
Now the wind has blown
Your nest to the ground
Hung around so long
You grew a falcon’s heart
When it’s time to go back home
And not a soul has understood you
A myriad of flesh and bone
No one’s been loved more than you

High and Lonesome

Forever and Always and Always Forever
Sink like a stone, rose like a feather
Before it gets worst, its bound to get better
You won’t believe the shape that I’m in
I have an old friend they call him the breeze
Sleeps with mosquitos out in the trees
He speaks with voices that no one can hear
They don’t have thumbs, so he cracks them a beer
They ramble in tongues I don’t understand
Drink raspberry wine and feed off the land
They listen to Levon sing with the band
Oh, that high and Lonesome sound
Forever and Always and Always Forever
They’ll be hard days in the finest of weather
Before were apart, we’ll be together
You won’t believe the shape that I’m in
Jumped in a river, got caught in a tide
Strengthened my stroke but swallowed my pride
Spit me out gasping on the other side
Why don’t we go dancing tonight?
I’ll be Confucius, you’ll be Aphrodite
We’ll be the light and the life of the party
We’ll have the steamiest discourse nightly
Sweep out the ashes before the dawn
I’ve been a servant and I’ve been a king
I’ve been washed up and heard wild birds sing
Been down on the bottom and I have been purged
Drank from the bottle, and sipped the last word
But I’ve never seen nobody like you
Who runs to cold water and kicks off their shoes
Sets fire to anything that you can’t use
Oh, why don’t you come see me tonight?
Forever and Always and Always Forever
Forever expanding till were pushed together
Before we’re apart, we’ll be together
You won’t believe the shape that I’m in

Gargoyles

It’s ok, it’s only thunder
Said the sparrow to the lark
When I woke on Sunday, baby
I nearly came apart
It’s an illusion
An elaborate charade
Trying to find salvation, baby
In the money that you save
Mama said to papa
Paul he said to John
Mama told the baby, yeah
We can work it out
But I’m trying to fight this feeling
That everything’s for naught
But every time I scream it out, baby
Somebody calls the cops
If it’s safe you want
There’s Gargoyles in the arches
And there’re drones up after dark
Its ok, if you don’t want to pay attention
to that black hole in your heart
We’re off, gone
See you ‘round the ether if the universe don’t bust
All we are are ashes falling on the clay
Hardened my defences to keep hurt at bay
You can’t shake the feeling that the levee’s gonna break
And we all float away
All we are are ashes falling on the clay
Hardened my defences to keep hurt at bay
You can’t shake the feeling that it’s getting away

Guadalupe

Hey hey, Guadalupe
River of black stone
In valley of the wolves
You are protector to the herds
When will I ever learn my Guadalupe
I remember standing by a well
Waiting to sky to fall and shatter on the ground
That’s when I’d pick the pieces up
Put them in an empty cup
And bring to your door in the morning
I’d been standing there for 10 years, maybe more
Staring at an empty hole till I grew badly bored
Took Charlie’s old divining rod
Split the loot, and tied the hog
And set out in the morning for the border
I called the boss , said I’m not coming in
I’ve been seeing four white horsemen
And they say that’s it’s the end
They’re coming down a dusty road
Mason jars all filled with toads
And you expect me to act like nothing happened
I’ll just count the ghosts here in my room
With a nitrous balloon, a trampoline and the friends that went too soon
Trade my every dollar for a day in that old hollow
Lying by your side in the evergreens

Hart Island

There’s a frost on the mountain
And I’m longing for your touch
My legs can’t stand from walking
Been too long riding for the rush
In the sound, there is an island
Where the burned-out hospital stands
Where they dig great holes to bury
All the bones that no one claimed
Don’t bury me on hart island
Tell my friends where I am
You know it’s cold and all you hear is crying
On that island of forgotten names
I can see you standing by the window
Back in time, when you were mine
Before I came to New York City
Where you gotta live fast just to toe the line
Its goodbye Willie, and Margarita
My dear Louisa, and male unknown
I hope we find some peace together
Where the chilly winds blow, you can hear ‘em moan
Don’t bury me on Hart island
Tell my friends where I am
You know it’s cold and all you hear is crying
On Hart Island, don’t you make my grave
Don’t bury me

Touch the Void
03:57
|

Looking up on a rusted skyline
Looking back on your last day
Vines climb, top the spire
Your blood in my veins
High lights flood the fogged-out road
Can’t tell the old man from a ghost
Long days on the rushing river
Long days with your oldest friends
Long days where you can’t stop laughing
Well never be here again
Mamas calling to you, boy
Best get home now
Long boats, froze into the lake
God knows, He made a few mistake
Touched the void but it was a little late
To get turned around
Ain’t no rhyme or reason
Ain’t no second takes
Call it love or call it treason
Can’t wash these marks away
Ashes falling like the snow
On the bridges down below
Open eyes in the last lights dim
All those memories come flood back in
In the light of the morning
Your breath rises to the wind
The pain is gone
The pain is gone
