Well I haven’t slept a night
Since I met you
You know I dream all my dreams awake now
Well I haven't slept a night
Since I met you
You know I dream all my dreams awake yeah
You know I dream all my dreams awake
Well it would be a crying shame for you not to cry
And keep me up all night
I wish you’d just say something I could understand
Then I could make you feel alright
Cuz you know I dream all my dreams awake now
And my bones they are tired and breaking now
And though I lose my feelings
In the shadows of our evenings man
I sure as hell do miss you when you’re gone
Oh well the wind flows through the rafters
When you're not at home
And I let it keep me up all night
Just searching so aimlessly for empty sounds
You know they make me feel alright
Cuz you know I dream all my dreams awake now
And my bones they are tired and breaking now
And though I lose my feelings
In the shadows of our evenings man
I sure as hell do miss you when you’re gone
Cuz you know I dream all my dreams awake now
And my bones they are tired and breaking now
And though I lose my feelings
In the shadows of our evenings man
I sure as hell do miss you when you’re gone
So please, please, please
Come back I promise not to make you cry
I promise I’ll try harder next time

Old Magazine

Don't cut your teeth on me no girl
Don't cut your teeth on me
My feelings they are concrete
And my thoughts are not discrete
And long after my songs been sung
The gear is loaded and we’re done oh
You'll be waiting lonely
For a call that seldom comes
You'll be waiting lonely for a call that seldom comes
Oh you thought you'd wrote the book on me
But the bridge is burning out from underneath
And I fly through the hours
Like a bird flies through a tree
Your finding out the hard way
That the place I wanna be
Is standing at the back yeah
When the band has long since played
Drinking down my last sips
Like they're poison lemonade
Drinking down my last sips
Watching nights turn into days
Oh you thought you'd wrote the book on me
But the bridge is burning out from underneath
Oh you thought you'd wrote the book on me
But the bridge is burning out from underneath
And I want my life to read
Like an old magazine
Relevant though torn apart
On every weakened seam
And if I'm to be your cross to bare
Would ya hear these words and we'll call it square yeah
I know love is rare and rare is what I think we are yeah
I know love is rare and rare is what I think we are
And oh you thought you wrote the book on me

Had To Go
03:22

If you come home on Saturday
Saturday might be too late
I’ll be in the water
A note tacked on the cottage door
Just like so many times before
Sand between your toes as you sit and wait
Runners on a pine wood floor
Memories from back in ‘04
Flood into your mind
Shooting movies
Shooting the shit
The shows we’ve see
The places been
Moments after moments as you sit and wait
And in the heart of my soul
There’s a place for you
And in the heart of my soul
There’s a place for you
So when you’re staring at your shoes politely
As the crowds go by you
On a Wednesday afternoon
Heads bowed down with tongues of insight
Strangers offering glimpses
To a man they thought they knew
Back in ‘72
And in the heart of my soul
There’s a place for you
And in the heart of my soul
There’s a place for you
And as the sun went down that night
Yeah as the sun went down
On my darkened afternoon
I heard the pine trees creak and crack
I heard the winds howl this and that
Listen and they just might hear me talking to you
And in the heart of my soul
There’s a place for you
And in the heart of my soul
There’s a place for you
And so you know that
Truth be told I’m going on vacation
With your mother in the fall
I’m sorry that I had to dive so deeply
It really wasn’t my call
I just had to go
And in the heart of my soul
There’s a place for you
And in the heart of my soul
There's a place for you

The day you stepped out
Was the day I walked in
And our hope
Sank slowly but surely
Like a polar bear on the arctic shelf
I drifted away
On the last great iceberg
All the Eskimos waved goodbye
And I learned in school
That white bears could swim
But now I’m truly fearing
That I might fall in
When this last shard of ice
Turns to oceans beneath
All my vices turn into
Are shadows out on the sea
And on the day that
It rained for a year
We all fell in love
With that warm Arctic fear
And as the last shard of ice
Drifted away
You know I truly thought
That we’d both, both be OK
Now an oak tree is bent
On the place where I sunk
You’ll forgive me for thinking
All those thoughts that I thunk
When the iceberg was sinking
And oh you were on my mind
But you didn’t come to save me from
Sinking this time
I remember my last breath
It was agony and defeat
You just sunk your last iceberg
You just sunk your last love
And if one day they find me
On underwater expeditions
They’ll say this one, this one oh
Lived out of his time.
And on the day that
It rained for a year
We all fell in love
With that warm Arctic fear
And as the last shard of ice
Drifted away
You know I truly thought
That we’d both, both be OK
And on the day that
It rained for a year
We all fell in love
With that warm Arctic fear
And as the last shard of ice
Drifted away
You know I truly hoped
That we’d both, both be OK

Inside Saturday
02:06

Would you like to come in from the cold she said
I’d like to come in from the cold I said
I’m sad that it's cold
The coffee shops closed
And the roads are all shut down
She said I’ll make some coffee the kind you like
Drink six cups through the day stay up all night
I’m only trying to keep both eyes wide open
To avoid hibernation
Inside Saturday outside is snowing
I wanna go outside but the winter she’s blowing
Her shoulders rolled back
Fists clenched in for a long haul
So cuddle up with a box set of DVDs
Watch Kelly and Dylan make love by the sea
California seems so far away
California
Here I am
Inside Saturday outside is snowing
I can’t afford a ticket so I guess we’re not going
I’m staying on the couch
I’ll be happy until the spring
Inside Saturday make mine a double
If you go outside better bring you a shovel
I’m staying on the couch
I’ll be happy until the spring

Young

Young, young, young
We were young once we were young once
We were tying one on
On the high school hill
Ride, ride, ride
We used to ride
Side by side
Down one way streets you and me
You’d watch out for cops
I’d watch for kids running off of the sidewalk laughing
Not knowing
We were young, we were young
And we’ll all fight the rebellion
And we won’t buy what you’re selling
No we won’t
Unless it’s for free
Wake, wake, wake
We’ll stay awake we’ll stay awake
In empty fields we will swoon
To the setting moon
Break, Break, Break
Our dreams are breaking
Breaking dreams are making
Dreams of their own
A little more alone
So let's stare at pretty girls
And watch as fists fly into faces
Breaking bones breaking bones
We are young
Yeah we’ll all fight the rebellion
And we won’t buy what you’re selling
No we won’t
Unless it’s for free
Yeah we’ll all fight the rebellion
And we won’t buy what you’re selling
No we won’t
No we won’t
Unless it's for free

Woah you yeah, you told a lie, and now you’re gonna pay
Woah you, yeah you told a lie, and now you’re gonna pay
We were just kids
On a swing in the park
It was dark
Kicking rocks was the name of the game
And you you looked so beautiful
In your blue jean spring jacket
Oh why do I look
So ugly and cold
You yeah, you told a lie, and now you’re gonna pay
Oh you, yeah you told a lie, and now you’re gonna pay
Well it started
As innocent conversations often start
Oh when you, you told me something
To try and save my life
Decisions that you’ve made
Now are all in the past
Dust in the valley of ash
But the night it came faster than
Than we both thought
I was young and stupid
You were so awful hot
And I said to myself
What you’ve already said
Said
When you, you told me something
To try and save my life
Decisions that you’ve made
Now are all in the past
Dust in the valley
Dust in the valley
When you, you told me something
To try and save my life
Decisions that you’ve made
Now are all in the past
Dust in the valley of Ash

Trembling Crumbling
05:54
|
|||
I lost my way in the snow today
I lost my way again
It seems like it’s something
That I like to do
Can I lose my way with you
You were a trembling wall
And I was a crumbling store front
No one ever looked back on
And I saw a little boy
Five years old
Falling face first in the snow
Stumbling awkwardly home that night
With his little footsteps in tow
And I looked him in the eye as we passed and he asked
Hey man how do we get home
I tried to point out the way but I couldn’t
So I said I guess we’ll have to go at it alone
So I kept on walking
As day turned into night
I saw you a mile away
It looked like you were smoking a pack
Of Alberta clippers
As clouds fumed around your face
Yeah I stalked you out of the fields that night
Your hands were all purple and cold
You held them out to me
And I gave you my gloves
And told you that I was in love
You were a trembling wall
And I was a crumbling store front
No one ever looked back on
And when we’re both one hundred and eighty-two
When you are trembling
When I am crumbling
I’ll still be in love with you
Woah and you were a trembling wall
And I was a crumbling store front
No one ever looked, ever looked
Ever looked back on
