King Saul

I met King Saul
on the road to Babylon
He said I've seen
all that I want to see
and I know
all that I want to know
and I've seen all
that I want to see
I said that we all used
to follow after you
we all used to love you
you know
and he said
I've seen all that I
can see all that I
can see all that I
want to see
and I know
all that I care to know
and I've seen all
that I want to see
I said now Saul why
don't you try to be free
why don't you try to be free
and he said now how
can I ever
how can I ever be free
when the devil
he follows after me
that devil he follows after me
how can I ever be free

Stranger To Reason
04:32

A new kind of darkness
from looking into the sun
words from the prophets
heard by no one
Clouds full of rain
that never comes down
the soul waits to be faced
the morning star rises
Night birds come for
a taste of water
The truth of the soul
is what you don't know
the moving water
the moving water
Too blind to know
the danger that may be
under the sea
under the sea
Fly through the night
to a world bright with the sun
awaken by looking inside
The dark and the light
are tied
resist the urge to hide

A Sunny Day
05:30

You'll never know
why the fences
were not low
where the birds all go
or how much you tow
Why so careless to go
without air without air
all the pearls
and diamonds
are not there
except for drops of water
in the air
Oh my darling
my darling Clementine
can't you see
I'm about to unwind
you'll never know
why the fences
were not low
where the birds all go
or how much you tow
Why were you
so careless to go
without air without air
all the pearls
and diamonds
are not there

Sanity
07:14
|
|||
|
Sanity is a poor fit
there's nothing more to find
give me some new substance
for my wounds to bind
I've come all this way
now I look to see
if those yonder mountains
will give anything to me
The day's turned so black
and my face is cold
I can't see too good
as it once used to be

Not Today
06:24

I tried to
get up from the ground
I tried to
She asked me
a question and then
she turned her back
She cried
on every Summer day
and in the Fall
she turned away
She smiled
and looked at me
she held her hands
way up high
I wish I could
jump up high
and see her eyes
before me
Snow came down
and buried the world
and made no sound
But anyway
I can't stay
in this cold place
anymore

I Can't See
03:00
|
|||
|
I can't see
what you see in me
what you see in me
In all honesty
I only try to be
a shadow of
what you see
Every day I groan
under some heavy load
in my bones
I can't see
without your love for me
your love
All this time
cleaning up the grime
never seeing sunshine
or the clear air
how precious few
are my times with you
|

Now It's Time
03:53
|
|||
|
All the walls
have fallen
Now the tanks
can roll in
Now the horses
are dreaming
Now it's time
to pay
for all
my careless words
Now it's time
to see
the absurd

Fallen Again

A brave new start
was all that it took
to wipe my mind clean
and tear it apart
Don't try to question why
some things have no words
so now let's say good bye
and try not to think
of what we have to do
The sun behind your hair
looks like the golden stars
from an old astronomy
When we first met
there was no shelter for us
we were both trying to forget
We found the easy way
for awhile
but we didn't know
that we were never free
So navigate by your wind
wherever it goes
and be sure to send
send me some news
Be sure to let me know
when your gray skies
are handing down their snow
I've seen you there on the wind
up there on the wind
