Tell me one of your stories tonight I cannot sleep I only sigh Tell me about your other lives Your memories and things you've tried Tell me what it means to be you Talk about all the people you know The ones you have met The ones you have seen Let's philosophize on the perfect life The sweetest crimes and the best of shows Tell me about the world you know Offer me some good advice The kind you need to survive this life Tell me all that you have learned Offer me some good advice The kind you need to survive this life Tell me about the world you've known Tell me one of your stories tonight I cannot sing I only sigh Tell me about your other lives Your memories and things you've tried Tell me what it means to be you Offer me some good advice The kind you need to survive this life Tell me about the world you've known Offer me some good advice The kind you need to survive this life Tell me about the world you've known

leaving 03:04

Well I'm leaving on my own Headed to parts unknown And you and I will never share the sunrise again And I would have stolen every diamond in the world Just for a chance And I would of even said that I'd be yours if we would never part I'm gonna try and find me a seer and play him a song I'm gonna try to find me a place where my meat isn't bad I'm headed for parts unknown But hey, I'm better for the times we traveled down those roads and tried to climb the castles the future surely had in store for us Well I'm leaving on my own Headed to parts unknown And you and I will never share the sunrise again And I would have stolen every diamond in the world Just for a chance And I would of even said that I'd be yours if we would never part

This is the sound of the rain Pouring into my brain Feel it washing my pain As I walk this range We all shake to this sound As we become the ground We all shake to this sound As we become the ground A swallow's wing is my passport But your heart is my plane And I don't need to cross the ocean To tell you it can sing We all shake to this sound As we become the ground If you see me looking all around The world for love Cut me with your voice If you see me looking all around The world for love Cut me with your voice This is the sound of the rain Pouring into my brain Feel it washing my pain As I walk this range We all shake to this sound As we become the ground We all shake to this sound As we become the ground

another lost year 02:53

Another lost year My head's all gears And I'm not wondering where you are My bottle's pretty full But I know I'll drink it But I got money so I can buy more Another year's lost And I'm surprised I'm alive Well I might be alright If I can stand close to you tonight Maybe this next year will be our best Maybe this next year will be our best Another night alone Suffering in the moonlight And time's pulling me into the ground Another memory I'm repressing Cause time is time but it's not now Another year's lost And I'm surprised I'm alive Well I might be alright If I can stand close to you tonight Maybe this next year will be our best Maybe this next year will be our best Maybe this next year will be our best Maybe this next year will be our best Now I'm thinking I might leave Cause I've lost hope and I can't see Cause all I find falls apart I'm too sick for home Another lost year My head's all gears And I'm not wondering where you are

the river 03:12

The river tried to drown this kid but his lungs were too strong salmon tried to fill me in on the song of the moon When will you invite me in Cause those clocks won't ever stop And those birds won't ever bark And I knew it When the wishbone wouldn't break Can't taste my wine Can't taste my wine The fish nearly had me blessed but the devil stepped in He said that I was made to walk the line Now I'm the kind of ghost who ships sad souls No heaven or hell I have no home I made the deal to see you through the fire You know, I made the deal to see you through the fire Come with me let's ride tonight for now's the time for you to die but don't you fear and don't you cry cause I will get you there Forsaken even by the devil There's nothing that I can revel I've been wandering around beside myself Cause I can feel and I can write But I can't taste my wine Can't taste my wine Can't taste my wine Can't taste my wine Can't taste my wine

I want to be your inspiration I want to be your tomorrow If we can make our connection We can make it to the meadow I don't want to breathe this air alone I don't want to breathe this air alone Won't you cover me with grass now Won't you hide me under your coat If we can make our connection We can make it to the meadow I don't want to breathe this air alone I don't want to breathe this air alone I want to be your inspiration I want to be your tomorrow If we can make our connection We can make it to the meadow I don't want to breathe this air alone I don't want to breathe this air alone

If you could slip inside of me I'd meet you by my sultan sea Underneath the harvest moon Right about midnight Slow, slow I've fallen from the farthest tree It's not the height that bothered me I can collect the rain But I can't drink it Slow, slow When all your grace is kinda drunk And all your love is sorta dry We'll be standing in line cause there's something kind of comfortable about standing in a line

I never wanted much from you only to co-exist with you You left my life You shoved me out Thought that you'd always be around Thought that we'd never have an end But you left my life You shoved me out But you left my life You shoved me out But you left my life You shoved me out I never wanted much from you only to co-exist with you You left my life You shoved me out I never wanted much from you only to co-exist with you But you left my life You shoved me out But you left my life You shoved me out But you left my life You shoved me out

the loss 03:03
lyrics

So today I... I read your note And today I... I left you mine We said we would keep things clean But girl we knew it was a messy machine But we tried and we tried And the black hearts say I got mine But I sure hate to share this with you So tonight I'll leave it alone And time goes by so slow Time without your love will make you low And time goes by so slow Time without your love will make you low Today we should We should clean our shiny machine But I'll probably wallow around for a while And here's a drink to you Cause goodbye's the hardest word there is to say And time goes by so slow Time without your love will make you low And time goes by so slow Time without your love will make you low

promise 03:15

however you read All that you see know that I'm your mountain know that I'm your tree The Island I bought The orchid I grew Don't mean anything If it's not all for you Promise me love You'll never walk away Promise me that you will always stay Promise me love You'll never walk away Promise me that you will always stay The stream we stood beside The embrace we held tight the alcohol we shared the beatings that we bared The moon I couldn't move The rock I couldn't budge The chain I gave to you Is all lost to instant change Promise me love You'll never walk away Promise me that you will always stay

Every road It takes its turn And you and I are gonna take ours too cause We've been moving along so fast Just like we always do You know l wish that you were mine I'd like to hold you till the end of time But we're gonna wreck it all just like we always do And it burns your eyes So close your eyes So shut your eyes And I'll be on my way Yes, I'll be on my way Take my effort You can take my best Take it all the way and leave me to my quest Cause I've got a million miles to go Before I'm ready for you Take my money you can take my pride Take it all the way and I won't cry cause I've spent the sweetest times with you And it burns your eyes So close your eyes So shut your eyes And I'll be on my way Yes, I'll be on my way
