Wake Up Darling

Wake up darling,
And smell the sunrise.
Birds are calling.
So open your eyes.
And I'll wake too.
Eat, my darlin.
I've made you plenty.
The world is calling,
And you'll be ready.
And I'll eat too.
Wrap up darling.
The city's bitter.
The siren's calling,
So take my letters.
And I'll stay true.

Seasons
02:55

|
When the wind blows cold,
and I can't feel my toes.
And the ground is covered in snow.
I look back and see,
you waiting for me.
In the house with the lock on the door.
Even when the trees are green,
in the warm august breeze,
and there's not a cloud up above.
I wish i could be,
on the first train to leave,
for the house with the lock on the door.

A simple hello good bye.
That was all I'd need.
I met you at my best, just left the nest indefinitely.
The summer sunset's on fire,
On an empty beach.
And now we're holding hands in sand to stand on anxious feet.
But they say,
That long distance makes,
For a great escape,
In different states in every way.
We're made to sit through a call.
Diplomats indeed.
With soured words that burn we can't return. We've slurred or speech.
And all the chains on the floor,
Left a boundary.
We can forget the west and manifest destiny.
And I'll wait,
A slave for the take.
I won't let it break,
In different states, in every way.

I've Seen A Ghost
03:30
|

|
By the candle light you said
the fire's going down.
As the old oak tree
fell without a sound.
Close the windows,
it's too cold for me to sleep.
And I'll let you know,
if I see you in a dream.
I'll give you at most, most, most
a handful of change.
'Cause I've seen a ghost, ghost, ghost
I don't know her name.
She said that she'd be back,
but she's gone for good I'd say.
By the candle light you turned
the t.v. on again.
As the Pontiac
crashed around the bend.
Close the window,
I find it hard, too hard for me to breathe.
And I'll let you know,
if I see you in my dreams.

The Fox
03:53

The fox makes the rabbit run,
like the moon from the rising sun.
A clock's work is never done,
and nothings sure but change.
Running like a bullet from a smoking gun,
a queen to her broken son.
She says "don't ya worry, hun."
"Everything's gonna be ok."
Flying off the handle with an axe to grind.
The king to his valentine.
Words like vinegar don't turn to wine.
Nothing will be the same.
Kissin' like the wings of a butterfly,
the groom and his princess bride.
In black and white, dressed to the nines.
Their love is sure to stay.
Take your first breath and learn to cry.
Take a step and learn to fly.
Live fast and learn to die.
Let your love be your name.
Working like a dog 'till the job is done.
Pay off all the debts that are sure to come.
Support the family you love
and nothing will be in vain.
Cutting through the valley like a razor blade.
Storm the beach like a tidal wave.
The eye of a hurricane
Sees nothing in its way.
High above the peaks of the mountain song,
beneath the forks of the serpent's tongue,
the battle is all but won.
And nothing's gonna change.
