trapped on the path of a train
that's long abandoned its name
the desert wastes no time
in bleeding everything dry
hills where hieroglyphics lay
they seem to point the way
a symbol starts to rise
a bird with shining eyes
lead us home
we've no need for silver or gold
lead us on
forever follow your song
high above the sun and the moon
we hear the guiding tune
now we're under your wing
will you take us to the brink?
lead us home
we've no need for silver or gold
lead us on
forever follow your song

Blackbirds and Roses
03:59
|

built up with the hours, that are left to be filled
the ripples roll in but the water stays still
carried out with the failures, one at a time
you never lose 'cause you never try
blackbirds and roses and hearts gone to seed
trapped like an actor with no part to read
it falls to me, to catch your raindrops on my tongue
it falls to me, to take your daylight to the dusk
and it falls to me, i'll never know when it's enough

The Price of Being Free
03:52
|
|

there have been so many times i've wondered
just what i've got myself into
with my hand upon a knife i'm ready for a fight
all for some girl i wish i never knew
friends said single life will cause you trouble
but i didn't hear a word that they said
one drunken night spent with some girl, it turned around my world
now her man is aiming straight for my head
oh man i hear the thunder so i'm running for cover
as the lightning strikes behind me
oh the winds are a-blowin' and the river's overflowin'
that's the price of being free
that's the price of being free
there have been so many days in waiting
just waiting for a break in the storm
i'm afraid to go outside, there's nowhere i can hide
nowhere i can feel safe and warm
when i think back on that night i shudder
a cheap thrill has a price these days
there's a wise man who once said, "keep thinking with your head
or eventually you're gonna have to pay"
oh man i hear the thunder so i'm running for cover
as the lightning strikes behind me
oh the winds are a-blowin' and the river's overflowin'
that's the price of being free
that's the price of being free

Stranger Friends

pace, i think i need a change
i'm tired and i need somewhere that i can take a rest
'cause i wait, i try to play it straight
i say i'm in control but i am just another liar
and you don't even know what you want
you're so tired that you're singing along
to the voices hanging long in your head
they're not strangers but they're not really friends
they're not really friends
awake, i'm lying in a state
i'm tired but i can't sleep yet there's too much to regret
'cause i'm late, you're never gonna change
you're never gonna use this time there's too much to decide on
i, i tried to sleep straight through,
and i, i have no time to lose

Wishful Drinking
03:37
|

you were the life of the party, everybody's friend
but who knew your innocence was at its end
the night that i found you on the bathroom floor
was the night that i lost the girl i once adored
keep on wishful drinking 'til your problems disappear
keep on pushing away anyone that comes near
you won't find what you're missing when all you're doing is wishing
you try to say it's no problem and you're doing fine
that's hard to believe amidst the stench of wine
i've stuck with you through this rollercoaster ride
i'm beginning to wonder why i even try
you took the final straw and drank my spirits dry
now karma's returning and you're in its sights
i'm leaving this city to escape this hell
now there's nobody left to save you from yourself

Sonora Remains
04:43
|

and the sun hits the sky, the rope is pulled tight
back to front eyes roll in like the tide
and the memory could fade away but sonora remains
they'll carve up his love, let loose the sound
he'll know soon enough when the wind holds their howls
and the memory could fade away but sonora remains
broke-neck brothers lying in my hands my skies turn black again
and they're falling apart, lead birthed from the sides
burns out the hearts and melts with the crime
and the memory could fade away but sonora remains
down to the last 'til the next in the line
it ends like it starts, an eye for an eye
and the memory could fade away but sonora remains
broke-neck brothers lying in my hands my skies turn black
heart-beat hours end first light but my, my skies burn black again

One by One
03:02

according to me, it's really going swell, taking the road traveled well
fallen to three, they're really dropping off, another down the back of the couch
we got us some songs, and we know 'em well but nobody else wants to know
another has gone, so if you see him could you please tell him to come home?
it's all coming undone, one by one
woke up at five, straight to the studio, let's re-do the tracks as we go
is dan still alive? he's off to africa, hope he can still make the show
it's all coming undone, one by one
it's too late to be messing around, it's too late to be messing us around
it's too late to be wasting time, it's too late for it, it's too late for it
i'm coming undone
it's all coming undone

i could dream you, i'd believe it's you
but dreams aren't my domain
i could save you, be a slave to only you
but saviour's not my name
it's gonna be some time
before you let me out into your world
these wings don't need to fly
they just need the chance to come unfurled
you could want me, oh how you haunt me
this cloudy winter's day
you could reach me, and you could teach me it all
the reason for this rain
it's gonna be some time
before you let me out into your world
these wings don't need to fly
they just need the chance to come unfurled
