in the morning
01:57
|
|||
i put myself and all my things into a new bed
and its light out and its different and everything’s so far away
in this bed
and I I try and I greet each day with love and grace
in the morning
but its hard with its different and everything’s so far away
in this bed, in the morning

oz

put a sheet over the birdcage so he can sleep
finish dinner on the stove before you leave
on these evenings I guess I tend to be
an emotional wizard of oz
soaking up the saturation you left
fill my path with shiny things ill keep in my bag
keep me busy when you write or when you sleep
on these mornings I guess I tend to be
an emotional wizard of oz
telling stories of what was, of you and me
put a letter in the box it’ll get to you
shiny detailing of all I do
in the meantime I guess I really am
an emotional wizard of
pulling back the sheets to find you asleep where you were

change my mind!
02:16
|
|||
change my mind
or change my plan
from where you stand
above the land
and of the sea
she roars and rolls
salty and old
and on that night
i was convinced
that this was it
and all those stories you told
and those stores I hear
all get caught in the dirt
of the places i’ve gone
since it was told
and in sea
salty and old
it was told
we talked of the night
how she was old
how she played jokes
but it was told

old song
02:33
|
|||
dear friend, i'll teach you
the words to the song you used to know
you know how it goes
against the air from those tall hemlocks
is the song that we once sang
oh, how it rang
tonight under the moon lying low
we could soak in its glow
tonight with the air just right
i could steal all the night
hold it so tight
make it right
dear friend, ill teach you
the words to the song we used to sing

man on the moon
03:13
|
|||
oh, man on the moon, would you rent me a room
for a summer or two
i need somewhere to look forward to
i could sit on the porch
for a night at a time
and never find the words that rhyme and put them in a line
but will you come to know me now
how you come to know me yet
do you finally know me now
now that I’m gone
i’ll sing you a tune that I wrote last June
but its sad, so be warned you might want to crack the window
i’ve been living on this hill, and pushing up a rock
i'm too scared to reach the top too scared to have to talk
but if you really knew me now
how could you know me yet
will you really know me now
now that I’m gone
oh man on the moon, would you rent me a room
i’ve been looking at you from the backseat window
and oh I think I know you
i’ve come to know you now
but how do I know you now
when you’re always gone

space between my teeth
02:38
|
|||
through winter and summer and everything in between
through good times and hard time the space between my teeth
you talked of the place where the mountain fog rolled
you talked of the place where your word became gold
through lambs ear and lavender and all that I can see
i start to build it up from the ground, a new house for me
and though you ay float through my dreams, and you may try to see
you can never rest up in this place I’ve created by the sea
she roars, the sea
she rolls with me
through tears and conversation I have come to see
it's time to ditch that kind of life
find a new space for me thats golden

anyone who isn't u
00:54
|

i’m sorry to say I miss you when I do
but I don’t know how to miss anyone who isn’t you
i wish that I could be more fun at the party
but I don’t know how to talk to anyone who isn’t you
