Love Loss Hope Repeat


Learn to Fly
Hello goodbye Higher you fly, into the world I awoke, this morning With pouring rain in my heart As I fall apart today But you make your way, and I'll rise I will rise if in my mind But I can see you fly away I can see the sun upon your face I can feel your heart and I can hear you cry And as I fall apart, I'll learn to fly A dirty bird like me, will learn to fly Hello goodbye Two birds hover inside of a heart factory Holding onto recovery Fly away You're repaired and preparing to go on your way I know I'm on my own But you make you way, and I'll rise I will rise if in my mind But I can see you fly away I can see the sun upon your face I can feel your heart and I can hear you cry And as I fall apart, I'll learn to fly A dirty bird like me, will learn to fly And everything I love you for remains High above the clouds and the cleansing rain You make your way, qnd I'll rise If in my mind You make your way, you make your way I can see you fly away I can see the sun upon your face I can feel your heart and I can hear you cry A dirty bird like me, will learn to fly
Love Loss Hope Repeat
Take a walk downtown, and dream with me We'll walk the parks and the empty streets You know the seasons ought to be Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat We're alone in a crowded room Silhouetted and ready to bloom You know the seasons ought to be Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat And when the high wind blows everything Like the lion attacking the spring I love you more than I'll ever let on And that's a fault of mine I'm working on I'm working on Take a walk downtown Remember the days that would never end? So much time you couldn't comprehend? When the sun's so slow to fade And tomorrow was more of the same And the easiest April rain Was enough to ignite the flame And you'd fade out with a grin With the company you were in And when the high wind blows everything Like the lion attacking the spring I love you more than I'll ever let on And that's a fault of mine I'm working on I'm working on And when the sky's a dusky hue And everything is bottle blue I love you more than I'll ever let on And that's a fault of mine I'm working on I'm working on Take a walk downtown And jump the train line down And then turn around, at the edge of town Or continue down, to the other side And Ride and ride 'til we see our lives And see our lives, from outside Our city walls, and the darkened halls And the lonely calls And when we turn around and head back in Everything will be new again Everything will be new And when the high wind blows everything Like the lion attacking the spring I love you more than I'll ever let on And that's a fault of mine I'm working on I'm working on And when the sky's a dusky hue And everything is bottle blue I love you more than I'll ever let on And that's a fault of mine I'm working on I'm working on Take a walk downtown
Under the Wire
I need to feel redeemed I'm going sideways down An ever winding road With the never unbinding load Of a one track mind Of a love that's lost somehow Of a flashing sign I'm under the wire now Under the wire, I'm a train down the line Nothing left to lose or gain But distance over time Under the wire, over all that we've been through Tell me what to do, to get to you I need to feel the breeze Of a new day's dawn I need to be released From the cold steel rail I'm on Shake the love for a woman Brake the emotion overdrive Take a train to oblivion At the crossing of our lives Under the wire, I'm a train down the line Nothing left to lose or gain But distance over time Under the wire, over all that we've been through Tell me what to do, to get to you I need to feel redeemed I wear my heart on a grimy sleeve I bear the pressure of oil and moving steam Unaware of my gaining speed Unprepared to move ahead or take the lead Under the wire, I'm a train down the line Nothing left to lose or gain But distance over time Under the wire, over all that we've been through Tell me what to do, to get to you I am a steel freight train I am a train wreck hauling back to you
Royal One
I'm on a roll And I know where I've been Heart and soul Got traded again The moment's a flash and not meant to stay I live in the past like it was yesterday Out of control How much can things change in one day Another morning breaks and i've got nothin' to show And i can't get lost if i don't know where to go Solder my heart back into my frame Could you color it red could you feed it the flame And i don't know why I tried to race the burning sun My eyes were so wide I went on the run And lost my royal one Clock on the wall has stalled And things are moving too fast As chaos revolves all around a shattered heart of glass All the roads to happy years I've paved with the ice from the darkest tears But brightened by the ones around you now now now Another morning breaks and i have nothin' to show And i can't get lost if i don't know where to go Solder my heart back into my frame Could you color it red could you feed it the flame And i don't know why I tried to race the burning sun My eyes were so wide I went on the run And lost my royal one And i don't know why I tried to race the burning sun My eyes were so wide Well I turned to see what I had done I could not believe it I tried to race the burning sun I could not believe it I went on the run And lost my royal one
A Girl And Her Horse
You lean forward to go; You pull back to go slow; These are the horse basics you should know. There's no use to wait A girl and her horse will never separate. You were done before the gun at the starting gate. And away she rides, To the great unknown. You can wave goodbye - And spend some time on your own, And wonder why Sometimes you find you're far, far behind on the course. Some things are best left between and girl and her horse. With no words to say, A girl and her horse can communicate. 'Cause motion is motion And nothing's up for debate. And away she rides, To the great beyond. You can wave goodbye - To a girl and her horse With a bond you can't deny Sometimes you find you're far, far behind on the course. Some things are best left between a girl and her horse. Sometimes you find you can't cross the line on the course. Some things are best left between a girl and her horse. You lean forward to go; You pull back to go slow; The rest is anyone's guess, don't you know? And away she rides, With the best in show. You can wave goodbye - A girl and her horse Have a bond you'll never know. And away she rides, With the best in show. You know unicorns don't exist, of course, But every girl in this world has a horse. Sometimes you find you're far, far behind on the course. Some things are best left between and girl and her horse. Sometimes you find you can't cross the line on the course. Some things are best left between and girl and her horse.
Texas Stars
Breathe in the night Let it know just who you are How you wish the weight of the world Would unleash your shooting star Look up at the light Have you seen that star before? How quickly dreams rearrange When constellations are at war Hey, lone star It's all right Did you look up to find You were left behind? Did you heroes and stars fade out? Have you been let down By a love, a father, a friend? Did the myth of greatness Leave your side With no desire to defend? Did the chariots of fire Burn you in the end? Did you look up to find You were left behind? Did your heroes and stars fade? Did the one you love Cradle you up above? Will your heroes and stars play? Breathe in the night Let it know just who you are There's still a girl inside of you, Connecting star to star I'm glad to see you're taking flight I'll spot the brightest one So breathe, breathe, breathe in the night Your journey's just begun Did you look up to find You were left behind? Did your heroes and stars fade? Did the one you love Cradle you up above? Will your heroes and stars play? You're a lullaby For the Texas sky tonight Your heroes and stars are bright So hey, lone star, There you are Shining bright in the dark Don't wait for your heroes and stars To save your day
Block of Wood
Grab your heart, we need to leave There's no time to cry or grieve For the fallen family tree Rise above the flooding plain Crouching low to duck the flame Generations against the grain Up in smoke and down the drain If the fire, if the flood Burns the tree and thins the blood If your tears don't wanna dry I can help you Cry, through the night Through the night and day, I can't take your pain away But I can help you cry. Cut the branch from this tree Carve a place for you and me A wooden seat that we can string From a branch where we can swing We'll take this block of wood Carve it down and sand it good When finished, it will be A souveneir of the family tree If the fire, if the flood Burns the tree and thins the blood If your tears don't wanna dry I can help you Cry, through the night Through the night and day, I can't take your pain away But I can help you Cry, through the night Through the night and day, I can't take your pain away But I can try. But God, help me please Come save the family tree My friends are broken all With falling off the wall In the ash I found an ember Something warm to help remember Block of wood that used to be A strong, tall family tree A strong, tall family tree Blowin' in the breeze. Cry, through the night Through the night and day, I can't take your pain away But I can help you Cry, through the night Through the night and day, I can't take your pain away But I can help you cry.
Comfort
I raced along an empty highway I chased the dawn And cursed the new day out of town 'Til nobody was around Love came along My favorite enemy We hit head on Why you befriended me I don't know There's no need for letting go When you've already lost control My life is open wide The more you live the less you die Outside, floating free I'm finally open to see Could you be any more comfort to me? Could you be... You've figured out the warnings and the reasons why You smoothed me out I hope you know there's nothing I won't give For showing me how to live I don't know how But you know just how I feel Sticking out like a dark horse in a snow white field Stirred by a breeze Strong but not at peace Free but unreleased My life is open wide The more you live the less you die Outside, floating free I'm finally open to see Could you be any more comfort to me? Could you be any more comfort to me? Caught up inside All I wanna be Try to survive all alone outside your company Could you be any more comfort to me? Could you be any more comfort to me? My life is open wide The more you live the less you die My life is open wide The more you live the less you die My life is open wide The more you live the less you die My life is open wide The more you live the less you die Could you be any more comfort to me?
The War Was In Color
I see you've found a box of my things Infantries, tanks and smoldering airplane wings These old pictures are cool, tell me some stories Was it like the old war movies? Sit down son, let me fill you in Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo don't capture the skin From the flash of a gun to a soldier who's done Trust me grandson The war was in color From shipyard to sea, from factory to sky From rivet to rifle, from boot camp to battle cry I wore the mask up high on a daylight run That held my face in its clammy hand Crawled over coconut logs and corpses in the coral sand Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo don't capture the skin From the shock of a shell to the memory of smell If red is for Hell The war was in color I held the canvas bag over the railing The dead released, with the ship still sailing Out of our hands and into the swallowing sea I felt the crossfire stitching up soldiers Into a blanket of dead, and as the night grows colder In a window back home, a blue star is traded for gold Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo don't capture the skin When metal is churned, and bodies are burned Victory earned The war was in color Now I lay in my grave at age twenty-one Long before you were born Before I bore a son What good did it do? Well hopefully for you A world without war A life full of color Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo never captured my skin Once it was torn from an enemy thorn Straight through the core The war was in color Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo never captured my skin From the flash of a gun to a soldier who's done Trust me grandson The war was in color Trust me grandson The war was in color Trust me grandson The war was in color
Bright Lights
How was I to know? How was I to feel? You're leaving all the lights on. You want me to reveal, Everything that I hide From the bright light's glow Letting everything go, To live beyond the shadow of a doubt I'm riding to your house There's nothing you can do I'll never be without a fading afternoon Maybe all we need is something new. Maybe all we need is nothing we can lose. So I'm letting everything go, Letting everything go. Step inside the lights beyond the shadow of our doubt And never find our way out, We'll never find our way out, We'll never find our way out of here again. Long gone days, Are never so quick to fade. It took falling away, To fall on the same page. Now all we see is bright lights that show, Everything we need, And all there is to know. All there is to know about letting everything go, Letting everything go, Step inside the lights beyond the shadow of our doubt And never find our way out, We'll never find our way out, We'll never find our way out of here again Letting everything go, Letting everything go, Step inside the lights beyond the shadow of our doubt And never find our way out, We'll never find our way out, We'll never find our way out of here again
International Airport
Wide awake I'm on a plane out of town Fly away From the weight of the world on the ground I'm international but I don't know where to go Hopefully where summer days can melt these winter bones I'm international and you're orbiting my brain I'm reduced to writing nothing All over napkins on the plane Wide awake I'm on a plane out of town Taking pictures of myself in the mirror on the wall Trying hard not to make my space The loneliest place of all Early warning all across the sky Clouds are rolling in on your light Any change from here Would be the wisest change of all Any place from up here Would be the finest place to fall Wide awake I'm on a plane out of town I'm loosing track of myself on all the time zone lines And if I daylight save do I jump ahead or fall behind And I'm fine 'cause I know Any plane I ride Can fly me home And I'm fine 'cause I know You know I know It's easy to see Clouds were built for dreams 'Cause nothing up there is as easy as it seems I step out and try to walk around As I fall I look up And wonder why they let me down I'm international at twice the speed of sound I just hope I take off from here before I hit the ground If I could get to heaven by an airplane in the sky We would always be in love And we would always love to fly Wide awake I'm on a plane out of town Taking pictures of myself in the mirror on the wall Trying hard not to make my space The loneliest place of all And I'm fine 'cause I know Any plane I ride Can fly me home And I'm fine 'cause I know You know I know And I'm fine 'cause I know Any plane I ride Can fly me home And I'm fine 'cause I know Any plane I ride Can fly me home You know I know You know
