Love So Fine

It started at night
We waited by the fire
Quiet outside
Our bones salt and dry
Our bones salt and dry
Under the waves
Silent rest
Watery graves
Depths under depths
Soundless you’re carried to sea
So painfully parted from me
I had a love so fine
Lost to the tide
I had a love so fine
Washed away white
Washed away white
The darkening swells
Swallowed up our shore
Dampening wails
Spirits moored
Spirits moored
Roof leaks the sea
Shutters they shriek
House it weeps
For the deep
Soundless you’re carried to sea
So painfully parted from me
I had a love so fine
Lost to the tide
I had a love so fine
Washed away white
Washed away white
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
I had a love so fine
Lost to the tide
I had a love so fine
Washed away white
I had a love so fine
Lost to the tide
I had a love so fine
A love so unkind
Washed away white

When I offered you my hand
It felt a little smaller in a man’s
Trusted I’d get it back
But I can’t bear to ask
I’ve still got a lot to say
I just misplace my words under your gaze
Open wide to mouth your praise
Tongue feels to thick for noise
I forgot my name
I forgot my name
Beneath the shadow of the king
Long you held me in your grasp
Your conquest ended fast
With a scepter made of brass
My nerves of fragile glass
Long you held me in your grasp
But you tired of me at last
Always tired of me at last
And now you’ve turned your back
Won’t you tell me where you’ve been
Always keeping me out or in
Easiest when you’re sleeping
Or if I ever look to leaving
I forgot my name
I forgot my name
Beneath the shadow of the king
Long you held me in your grasp
Your conquest ended fast
With a scepter made of brass
My nerves of fragile glass
Long you held me in your grasp
But you tired of me at last
Always tired of me at last
And now you’ve turned your back
(solo)
Long you held me in your grasp
Your conquest ended fast
With a scepter made of brass
My nerves of fragile glass
Long you held me in your grasp
But you tired of me at last
Aren’t you tired of me at last
And now you’ve turned your back

Oh sweet Sedona
Where my love lies
Oh sweet Sedona
Where it all died
My heart yearns
Waiting for you
You told me you loved me
You were never gonna leave me
You were always gonna need me
Just a year ago today
Where, where are you going?
Couldn’t stop running
Dissolve into nothing
I wish we could’ve stayed
I wish we could’ve stayed
Oh sweet Sedona
Where our love was born
Oh sweet Sedona
Before it was torn
My heart aches
Waiting for ease
You told me you loved me
You were never gonna leave me
You were always gonna need me
Just a year ago today
Where, where are you going?
Couldn’t stop running
Dissolve into nothing
I wish we could’ve stayed
I wish we could’ve stayed

Chasing Ghosts
03:05
|

Down the narrow alleyways and avenues
In darkened corners of my mind
Wading through the deepest pools of memory, they hide
Pale eyed and restless quiet
Sleepily they wander into daytime
Seeping into every daytime lie
Puncturing the cheeriness of sun and sky
I welcome them I don’t know why
These constant shadows, tightening their grasp
Won’t they let me rest?
Am I chasing ghosts, oh am I chasing ghosts
Am I chasing ghosts or are they chasing after me
They cunningly disguise themselves as old friends
Wishing you the best and then they’re gone again
Patiently haunting, breathing cold upon your neck
They’ll meet you round every bend
These constant shadows, tightening their grasp
Won’t they let me rest?
Am I chasing ghosts, oh am I chasing ghosts
Am I chasing ghosts or are they chasing after me
Oh how I do enjoy their company sometimes
In the lonelier hours of the night
Those shapeless shadows, those faceless friends of mine
Those nameless lovers by my bedside
Am I chasing ghosts, oh am I chasing ghosts
Am I chasing ghosts or are they chasing after me
Am I chasing ghosts, oh am I chasing ghosts
Am I chasing ghosts or are they chasing after me
Are they chasing after me
Are they chasing after me

If you walk with me darlin'
Then you'll see
If you walk with me in the garden on a november's eve
If you walk with me darlin'
Then you'll see
Why the world decided to let me be
When the walls came crashing
When the walls came crashing
When the walls came crashing down I was still in his cell
And his words were thrashing
Words were thrashing
Words were so thrashing when he pushed and I fell
If you keep my pace and we
Leave no trace
If you keep my pace towards a place where we can't be chased
If you keep my pace and we
Leave no trace darlin'
There's no telling what time could erase
And the ruins were crumbling the
Ruins were crumbling the
Ruins were still crumbling when you pulled me out and my
Love is stumbling
Love is stumbling
Love can be stumbling but please don't doubt
If I sprint toward the end then my
Strength will bend if I
Sprint toward the end to a place where others can't sent if I
Sprint toward the end then my
Strength will bend but if I
Sprint toward the end with you my heart will mend

Down the Road
03:33

I found me a love in the summer
Many a lonesome mile down the road
I found me a love and a promise so bold
Many a mile down the road
He spoke so my hope wouldn’t falter
His voice my companion so constantly near
He spoke with the hope that would quiet my fears
His voice oh so constantly near
I’ll tell you that love can get lonely
If you don’t have a hand to hold
You’ve cast off your heart to the highway
You’ve given your love to the road
He kept me so faithfully his
Spent many a night in separate beds
He kept me so faithful till summer’s certain end
For good we returned to our beds
I’ll tell you that love can get lonely
If one side of your bed is so cold
You’ve banked all your warmth for a story
You’ve given your love to the road
Travel has made my heart weary
Many a lonesome mile down the road
Travel has fixed my heart firmly at home
Many a mile down the road

Bring Me Home
03:45
|

Time is drifting through my veins
Maybe I am lost again
Don't know if I'll find a place to lay my hat aside
If my wandering life will ever change
Oh bring me home
Friday night creeps into dawn
Yesterday still lingers on
The taste still on my mouth I wonder what it's all about
As if I used to know where it belonged
Oh bring me home
Thoughts go knocking door to door
Don't know what the search is for
Echoes and empty halls
Step on a crack and the whole thing falls
Thoughtful patterns on the floor
Oh bring me home
