Shipwreck

You had the eyes of a shipwreck survivor
The turbulent waters now swirling inside
Thinking I'd made you a safe place to harbor
But the waters grew wild and you drifted away
Love gave up softly and laid by the wayside
The burden of proof was just too much to bear
But I will remember those moments of kindness
The grace of your smile will not dissapear
Oh I thought you could tell
That the fears you held onto had not served you well
And I sat on my hands in my own little hell
Falling or flying the ground knows no difference
Descent is the same it's just a matter of time
My hands to the sky as the clouds make their way home
I say my goodbyes and it's always too soon

Lover's Ghost
03:31

It’s not enough she said
That you built me out of sweet words from your head
But you never got the skin and bones just right
Enough to make me real
Enough to make me real
I’m a Frankenstein to be sure
A mix of every lover’s face and hands
And you thought someday my stitches would disappear
And I could be the one
Yeh I could be the one
What can make you stay
How much love have you forgotten
Lost or slipped away
Baby it’s ok
Baby it’s ok
Can you tell she said
Between a dream and what you think you have
Or am I just another lover’s ghost
Trapped within your heart
Trapped within your heart
Baby it’s ok
Baby it’s ok

Green
grass I thought I had
happiness in hand
and I just miss those
Red
lips upon my cheek
laughter in my house
music in my heart
White
skin that covered you
pale to shame the moon
I would have offered
Gold
ring upon your hand
a promise to be true
seven years from then
Brown
eyes of mine still see
what I thought we’d be
a summer sky of
Blue
is really more like gray
the colors gone away

Outside my window
The fog is holding all things hostage
I throw another sweater on
I thought of you
And how the cold would drive you under covers
You were always happiest when warm
I was the one to say
I thought that what we had was special
I guess I knew it from the start
And I believed the things
I told myself what love should feel like
I had no reason to question my heart
So how can this be love
How can this be love
How can this be love
If I can walk away
Well I sought you out because
Inside your arms I found that shelter
I think it was the same for you
And in the dark
We staked our claims for what we thought we were after
But was it fools gold after all

Strong Enough
03:21
|

It isn't enough to say I've been down before
good times will come again
Cause those are the words you hate when you want the world
to let you dissapear
Sitting alone I thought if I could wish away
these thoughts of you I would
Cause then I'd be free to walk out the door
into this world and see again
And though you'd say
I'l be fine
Why don't I feel the same this time
Didn't we both promise faith whispered soft and low
for no-one else to hear
And you could believe in this life
Strong enough in love for doubt to fade away
for doubt to fade away
Strong enough

Rust in the Bloodstream
04:32
|
|||
|
She stopped at the light
Pulled the car out of gear as if waiting for something
A sign a direction a voice
And the lope of the engine's in time with her breathing
She thinks of the time
When his hands smelled like earth and his body the ocean
Like a line or a scar that's erased
It's hard to remember the place where it started
But noone can change
Noone can change
Yes noone can change
What's inside of you
You fight or you leave
And though noone can see there's a knife in your back
It's a word that's been sharpened with care
But it still tastes like rust as it enters your bloodstream
She's crying again
And the salt from her tears is dissolving the landscape
Like a smile in the face of defeat
She rolls down the window and drives into tommorrow
Chorus

Honey I'm Gone
04:11

Did you leave your silver ring
As a sign of no retreat
And the screen door closed behind you
Swept your name into the street
And you thought this would be different
And for a while it tasted sweet
The mornings were like summer
With the grass beneath your feet
But the nighttime left you sleepless
And the ceiling watched above
While the T.V. lit the bedroom
Spilling laughter on the rug
And the dishes watched in silence
When you paced the kitchen floor
And the table held the note up
That simply said no more
And the curtains fluttered softly
As they waved to say goodbye
The porch light saw you leaving
So the window closed it's eye's
And the sidewalk said let's go you're on your way
And the sidewalk said let's go you're on your way
And the sidewalk said let's go you're on your way
