Cold black mountain
If you don't need me who will?
I've hung around for long enough
And the waitress says I'm doing it again
Be as it may
There's no colour to you anymore
I've stepped aside for everything
Or maybe just around it I suppose
I don't want to see it coming
I only want to see you go
I don't want to see it coming
With the wind and snow
Cold black mountain
If you don't love me who will?
You said it best there's years ago
It's only going to take us so far
Let me slide in
Give me your faith for a while
I fucked up all my remedies
Yea the waiter says I'm just like him
I don't want to see it coming
I only want to see you go
I don't want to see it coming
With the wind and snow

Open Skies

Out there in the city
People stop and stare
Yet I don't even notice
The colour in the air
Love and celebration
It's knocking at your door
Closing all the windows
Before falling to the floor
Tell me
Have you ever noticed
Thunder coming to an end
And open skies
Sleepless admiration
It's steady as a gun
Shoots in all directions
But that ain't half the fun
Take me to the back room
Show me where to stand
Touch upon me softly
Show me I'm your man
Tell me
Have you ever noticed
Thunder coming to an end
And open skies
Tell me
Have you ever lost out?
Maybe
We should say goodnight

Blanket Days

Take back those guns
They'll never load
In the off chance you feel like connecting
I'm sure you'll know where to go
Subject to change
Locked us in cars
I could live off of nothing for a while
But sure won't get very far
Wait, talk slow
Don't move fast
Bend it forth
Leave it in the past
Blanket days
Cumbersome
Let it move
Take what you have won and carry on
Oh darling you
Seem so afraid
You spend nights running in the alleys
And your days kept locked away
Come feel the light
Pressed on your face
Take a minute
Take a second
Take an hour
Just realize why you came
Wait, talk slow
Don't move fast
Bend it forth
Leave it in the past
Blanket days
Rescue me
Tell me why
Tell me to believe your harmony
Oh believe your harmony

Go ahead, start unwinding
Know the string ain't getting longer anyways
Celebrate the old and blinded
Fall asleep
Wake
And find you're feeling strange
Amelia
It's the darkest ones
Who seem to light the way
It's beautiful
How you say those words
But you know that I can't change
Never let it go unnoticed
How you feel
look
Love yourself inside
Come on now and start the motion
Get on early
Go
And watch the sun beat rise
Amelia
It's the darkest ones
Who seem to light the way
It's beautiful
How you say those words
But you know that I can't change
Amelia
It's the damnedest thing
I forgot just how to live
Talk to me
Tell me where to go
I've got everything to give
When you lie
It's the same old story
You lie
And it's the same old thing
When you lie
It's the same old story
You lie
And it's the same old thing

Marry me
Honestly
I know we could probably make a game of this
Like overall politics
It's losing me
In the air
I don't care
I could go on talking for a while now
I'd rather you scream than shout
But either work
It'll always be the same
An open ended game
These teachers come by the hundreds now
So what am I to make of this?
Over you
I will stand
I won't talk
I will only wave my hand
Fake I don't give a damn
Bout anything
But it's a lie
I don't try
To pay any attention to the common man
It's really not working though
As you could probably tell
Those pictures need no frames
You will always look the same
These teachers come by the hundreds now
So what am I to make of this?
It'll always be the same
An open ended claim
These teachers come by the hundreds now
So what am I to make of this?

City Band

I'm hoping that's it now
I'm hoping that's all
A couple of bad days
I've seen them fall
I left my city band
To come to your door
I never could understand
Why I didn't before
Now, you have the right to send me away
To turn a cold shoulder
If you've got nothing to say
But I left my city band
Not too long ago
Came sore to sights
Of never letting you know
Where do I stand....?

San Francisco Skin
04:06
|

|
When the cold wind starts to rise up
Maybe we better go
You could hide out in the old apartment
Nobody would ever know
Dirty sheets and a set of bright eyes
Honey we'll toss and turn
Hold me close in the window of violets
Give me something to burn
Your heads in the clouds
You're looking away
You've had a lifetime of feeling worry
That the best is gonna change
But you'll never learn
And I'll never win
You'll keep waltzing round this town
In your San Francisco skin
Plain view I could see it coming
Riding high in the night
Wasn't like I could go the distance
Straight out of sight
Go ahead you could cut the cord
You could do the damage at will
In the end only you would notice
That I could never sit still
Your heads in the clouds
You're looking away
you've had a lifetime of feeling worry
That the best is gonna change
But you'll never learn
And I'll never win
You'll keep waltzing round this town
In your San Francisco skin

Mirror Garden
03:58

We see the light from the other room
Flicker at the night in a panic
She came through the door
All in routine
Looking high
Oh my, young romantic
I've see the world
Circle in your eyes
Lost out here in the mirror garden
We'll settle for the night
Shot in the dark
Bullet in the rain
You pulled me through the mirror garden
Now it's looking all the same
Spoke once again all in routine
You come undress
Let me taste it
I'll save the time that you counted for
Lost in a trance
Never wasted
I've see the world
Circle in your eyes
Lost out here in the mirror garden
We'll settle for the night
Shot in the dark
Bullet in the rain
You pulled me through the mirror garden
Now it's looking all the same
