The Sunset's Golden

The sunset's golden
But then it's gone
Her heart is open
But for how long
The sunset's bleeding
Across the sky
My heart is needing
A place to hide
The sunset's blinding
My tired eyes
The light revealing
The final prize
The sunset's casting
Dark shadows on
The long and winding
Road I'm upon

Wallow in Their Wake

I can't stand the jealousy
That seems to dwell inside of me
It's hiding in the shadows of my room
Like a thief
Love is in the air
But it's distribution isn't fair
I keep turning 'round to find it
Simply isn't there
Couples pass me in the street
Hand in hand, unwittingly
They leave me there to
They leave me there to wallow in
They leave me there to wallow in their wake
I stay inside my room
In silent solidute
'Cause I don't wanna face another day
Watching smiling faces walk away
It doesn't seem to matter whan I say
How I wear my hair or how I play
Maybe I'm afraid to say okay
But I want to
I try to
Couples pass me in the street
Hand in hand, unwittingly
They leave me there to
They leave me there to wallow in
They leave me there to wallow in their wake

In Her Eyes

Mediocrity makes it hard to breathe
So let's go out and get coffee and cigarettes
I need to clear my mind and leave these thoughts behind
Mediocrity has got the best of me
Like stars the memories shine, with me all the time
I sail beneath their signs drawn upon the sky
My heart is like a hound that's leash and collar bound
Hear it howl and pine, whimper, growl and whine
In her eyes
I waste my time
In her eyes
I've lost my mind
Lost my mind
Winter's grip is gone, you can finally hear the song
Swelling like a sigh to crack the narrow sky
Her beauty is a breeze that's blowing on the beach
She makes these broken trees mean nothing to me
In her eyes
I waste all my time
In her eyes
I've lost my mind
Lost my mind

This Old House

In this old house
We seek the answers
In this old house
We've come to Southern Alberta, Southern Alberta
We've brought something to show ya, something to show ya
We've been driving over many miles
Been on the road for a little while
Travelling in style, our U-haul in tow
You know we've got a place we've gotta go
(Chorus)
We've come to Southern Alberta, Southern Alberta
We've got something to show ya, something to show ya
Left my baby far, far away
I hope that I'll be back some day
But she don't mind, you know she knows
We've got a place we've gotta go
(Chorus)

Shoegaze Lovesong

I walked across to see you
Acting casual 'cause I think I mean nothing to you
Put down my feet, picked up my bags
Those summer daydreams seem to drag and drag and drag
Thought my hopes were too high
In fact my heart was too low
But I said my goodbyes
Thought I'd never see you again, I didn't know
I put my knife to an arbutus
See now I'm trying to make us do this
Added curves and lines for yours and mine
I'm trying to make, I'm trying to make it all add up
Now you're down from another town
The leaves are falling but I'm trying not to rush at all
Call me yellow if you want until you're red in the face
Every other time it's me who's too fast to fall
Truth be told I've been lying on the ground since we met
Now are you weak in the knees?
Are you feeling it yet?
Can't tell what you want cause what you want is to know
What you want when you feel that you need to let go
I wrote for you a letter
On a bottle of Nyquil to make you feel better
I said maybe you're trying too hard
You said well maybe you just shoudn't try at all
Well baby don't be scared every castle's gonna burn
But maybe it'll make you feel the heat that you yearn for
Three words everbody wants to hear when they're done
Two years I've been searching trying to find the last one

One Night Left
05:53

Close your eyes and listen to this lullaby
Realize there's nothing missing
It's no surprise these days and nights keep flying by
So close your eyes and listen
None can say how long things will remain this way
And my dismay is showing clearly
But it's okay, we'll meet again some sunny day
And in my mind you're always near me
Well we've got one day left
So let's have no regrets
Yeah we've got one day and one night left
Close your eyes and listen to this lullaby
Realize there's nothing missing
It's no surprise these days and nights keep flying by
So close your eyes and listen
Well we've got one day left
So let's have no regrets
Yeah we've got one day and one night left
Yes it's a shame
I can't deny that I feel the same way
I wish you would stay
I wish you would stay with me here
For one more day
You said our kisses feel like home
But tonight your lips are distant as a hitchhiker at midnight
Trying to forget the place that's missing
I know your bags are packed already
I know your eyes are on the road
But it's getting cold here on the shoulder of the highway
So let me hold you and be warm
I never told you
But the week after we fell in love
When you were away
And my mouth felt empty in your absence
I filled the lonely spaces with the song of your name
I used to sing it on repeat
Hoping one day my clumsy tongue would do that melody justice
I dusted off the ivory keys of your spine
And we wrote an etude for the night
I sang moonlight through my teeth
You played dawn from out your fingertips
And as an eclipse we came together in a twilight you'd wait a lifetime to see again
Science tells us these moments are possible
But only faith can get you near
You made me into a believer when, for the first time ever,
I didn't question my being here
Now I don't know where I'll be going
And I don't know about next year
But the alarm clock's click-ticking down the minutes to tomorrow
And your sadness burns these hours up like seconds
So pull your thumb in off the highway
Bring your lips back home to mine
Cause in the morning I'll be leaving
But tonight
Let's feel like we've arrived

The Strangers

Where you going to? I don't mind
I've killed my world and I've killed my time
And where do I go, what do I see?
Many people coming after me
Where you going to? I don't mind
If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
And I will follow you wherever you go
If your offered hand is still open to me
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one
So you've been where I've just come
From the land that brings losers on
And we will share this road we walk
Mind our mouths and beware our talk
'Til peace we find I'll tell you what I'll do
Every thing that I own I will share with you
And if I feel tomorrow how I feel today
We'll take what we need and give the rest away
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one
Holy man, holy priest
This love of life makes me weak at my knees
And when we get ther make your play
Cause soon I fear you're gonna carry us away
In a promised lie that you made us believe
For so many men there's been so much grief
And my mind is proud but it aches with rage
And if I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one
