Dark
04:13
|
|||
You dangle your legs over the edge of the infinite dark.
I throw a stone, and shatter a mirror into a thousand shards
And you don’t have to be nice, cause I kind of like it
And oh, I’ll be I get cross before you can find it.
You can tell me your name, but I will forget it.
I will forget it.
Like the fog that looms above the lake,
I’ll be sleeping till the sunlight dusts my face.
And you don’t have to be nice, cause I kind of like it
And oh, I’ll be I get cross before you can find it.
You can tell me your name, but I will forget it.
I will forget it.

Love Is Stoned
03:21
|
|||
Eyes are heavy,
rings of dark,
I am drifting with your strange remarks.
Salt and bitter,
lights go dim.
I ain’t scratching at your phantom limb.
Your love is stoned,
I feel so done.
Your love is stoned
I’m stretched so long,
just go slow keep your hands in your pockets.

Marfa Skies

Relax, unfold, get comfortable my friend.
Just take her easy
This drive is long. Odessa’s passed and gone.
The wind is reeling
Empty roads always look so at peace.
Hear the dust crackle under my feet.
I can’t go on.
I want to go where it’s still,
and it’s quiet as a stone.
And every time, I’m alone,
I start selling all of my clothes.
And I don’t think, I’m lost,
I just don’t want to be here anymore.
I hope you don’t refuse, my love.

Big Shot
04:05
|
|||
You don’t need a hand to get lucky,
and everybody want’s to throw you money.
So slip on your shades and roll your windows down,
cause you’re a big shot now.
Waxing up your hair, you look so pretty.
Dial up your friends but they’re all busy.
You don’t need them, they only drag you down.
You’re gonna run this town.
I’ll bet you think you made it,
bet you think you walking on a golden road.
It might seem easy, but I’m guess no one
has ever had to tell you no.
Is it right in your soul?
I’d like to thank all the little people,
struggling to breathe in the middle.
It’s a lonely existence when you climb the mount.
Can you help me out?
I’ll bet you think you made it,
bet you think you walking on a golden road.
It might seem easy, but I’m guess no one
has ever had to tell you no.
Is it right in your soul?

Desert Reflections
04:13
|

She dances like desert reflections that bend with the light.
Here lips partly open, with slight hesitation,
she rides through the gate to edge of the night.
She sleeps just like the river,
running swiftly never ceasing for a rest.
I know that should I lose her,
she’ll be forever washing through my head.
I’d hope to never dream,
for fear I’d live it all again.
I want to know where you came from.
I want to know what you’re made of.
She sleeps just like the river,
running swiftly never ceasing for a rest.
I know that should I lose her,
she’ll be forever washing through my head.
I’d hope to never dream,
for fear I’d live it all again.

Some Kind of Man
03:15
|
|||
Well he must be some kind of man.
He’ll paint you a sunrise of red and cyan.
He’ll never cheapen your love.
He’ll never tell you he’s done.
And I don’t know why I’m not there.
Maybe it’s cause I’m scared.
When cold indecision embraces despair.
He’ll never cheapen your love.
He’ll never tell you he’s done.
And I don’t know why I’m not there.

Asleep in the Pine
07:15
|
|||
There was only dust collecting in your shadow.
Let the sunlight touch, the barren earth lies fallow.
You can let your ankles in, the water is still shallow.
You can let your ankles in, the water is still shallow.
I belong behind a lock and a key,
where I cannot break your heart,
where I cannot break your heart.
I belong behind a lock and a key,
where I cannot break your heart,
where I cannot break your heart.
Asleep in the pine, buried six underneath,
where I cannot break your heart,
where I cannot break your heart.
Where I cannot break.
