Talk Me Down

When I trace her in my mind
There's still just only light
Don't throw away this wasted child
Who grew old before his time
I will ascend the highest hight
If you will talk me down slowly
I will ascend the highest hight
If you will talk me down slowly
Don't run
Don't walk
I've got to drive
To where the sky is calling
I know I can't fly
I know I might die
But I'm only free when I'm falling
Get out of the way
Get out of my mind
Talking such reason
I've got to jump
I've got to yell
I want to die from living
Throw me back down
If heaven's my fate
I'll live a lie that's holy
Heaven can wait
I'll be right back
If you can talk me down slowly
Don't walk
Don't run
I've got to drive
To where the sky is calling
I know I can't fly
I know I might die
But I'm only free when I'm falling

They're here every night
Those orphans in the street lights howling,
"There's nobody on our side anymore,"
I'm sitting at my bedside
There's nobody inside
But I know I'm living alright
Loving you
Caught under a landslide
I get pinned down by the weight just like anyone
We all get lost in the dark
I'm not a special case
But I imagine your face
In my mind's eye I see you smiling
And I know I'm living alright
Loving you
I feel the change in the seasons
I feel the rain and the temperatures dropping
I see the leaves that have fallen
But I'm not falling down
I'm not feeling down
I hope heaven treats you alright
I won't lie
I sure can miss you, darling
And so called friends tell me i should be moving on
I often feel like a stranger
To myself and to my old habits
Still I know I'm living alright
Loving you
I rolled around in the thunder
And surfed the wave that tried to pull me under
Between the rocks and the storm
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
I'm here
Loving you

Sinners Calling Me Home
04:12
|
|||
I gave the kingdom to a liar's tongue
Dancing like a fool while my name was sung
They said, "Let's see you dance under an iron fist"
As they swat me away they said, "It's all in the wrist"
Now there's sinners calling me home
Sinners calling me home
If I dig your soul out of its hiding place
Will you walk with me when I don't know the way?
Will you melt your wings flying into the sun?
That's where the fun is, doll
That's where the fun is, darling
When you find out I am what I am
Will you live with me when the world is a sham?
Will you rock my boat into the river's mouth?
Will you let me jump when we can't see the ground?
Sinners calling me home

The Leaky Hull
03:41

We could dig these fox holes
Avoiding the fight
And emerge after years
With eyes dazzled by light
We could walk this plank
Heads swimming in doubt
I see icebergs of fear in the water
And we can't turn about
A little closer now
All I can see is what I feel with these hands
Though you are blind
You're the one that can see me
I've told you lies
And I've told you truths
There's been days and nights when I couldn't tell between the two
We've been pumping water
Out of this leaky hull
Sinking slowly and guided only by my flaming skull
A little farther now
Sailing in the dark for the rest of our days
I'll never be lonely
Loving you only
I've told you lies
And I've told you truths
There's been days and nights when I couldn't tell between the two

Percival

Touch me
My world is phantoms
But you see me
As a knight on his quest
All these fictions
Oh, what my life should have been
Epic volumes of nobility and fate
Witness all the treasures of the Fisher king
And I've felt lost
Knowing tragedy has saved my life
My heart has wandered far without a home
My only sight is blood upon the snow
Though our bodies fall with ease
Our spirits rise as the falcon
Lost stars
The sky is empty to these
Lost eyes
Is there still anything there?
I've been robin Hood giving to the poor
Though I've had nothing left
Nothing left to give
I've been Percival seeking for the grail
And I've felt lost
Though kingdoms far and wide recite my tales
My heart has wandered far without a home
My only sight is blood upon the snow
Though our bodies fall with ease
Our spirits rise as the falcon
