The fragile keep secretsGathered in pocketsAnd they will sell them for nothingA cheap watch or locketThat kind of gold washes offAnd the sad act like lepersThey stick to the shadowsThey long to ring bells of warningTo tell of their comingSo that the pure can shut their doorsThe angry are animals Senseless and savageThey act without […]

Did you expect it all to stopAt the wave of your hand?Like the sun’s just gonna dropIf it’s night you demandWell, in the dark we are just airSo the house might dissolveBut once we’re gone, who’s gonna careIf we were ever here at all?Well, summer’s gonna comeIt’s gonna cloud our eyes againNo need to focusWhen […]

Well morning cameAnd it dressed the skyIn a lovely yellow gownNow the shops they areAll openingIn that narrow hallway of downtownFilled with people whoAre shopping forTheir lovers and their friendsSaying they won’t ever be lonely againWell a forest fencedbecomes backyardsLike songs are born from soundAnd the apple fellAnd it taught us allWe are chained here […]

There’s a car parked where the block beginsAnd these people singing praisesSay it’s all because of himAnd there’s a bird perched on a frayed wet wireAnd his voice sings out for a loverBut it’s covered by the choirOf voices reaching way beyond the raftersWith devotion they perform these sacred tasksThey cross themselves and offer up […]

Let’s sail awayPast the noise of the bayLet’s sail awayPast the birth and death of the dayLet’s sail awayTo where the blues and greensSwirl into grayLet’s sail awayLet’s sail awayPast the cradle of these wavesLet’s sail awayPast the tide and its slow decayLet’s sail awayTo where the water goesSome endless open spaceLet’s sail awayTake only […]
