Love So Fine 03:36
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

Sweet Sedona 04:48
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

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

Walker 03:45
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

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

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
