The whined from the tires
The lag off the choral
Saying this year will be known by the lines on my face
Pulled out off the water
Head rests on aeroplane windows
Laughin this year they”ll never catch me again
The wind brings up the fire
Rooms swell like in a storm
It was in your hair and your stair
went through this mortal world
The whistles blew off the rails
Ropes flew at the seabird docks
It was in your hands and your ear
Gave no heed to calls of love
The leaves call out a warning
Lamp shade lace in auburn
Left all to the searching and the yearning light
Hang no vacancy
The pages read of slavery
Words in unrequited desire
Settle down let the note ring
For whom the bell tolls
Helium shaped heart balloon
Eyes stared at your room ceiling
I said set it free in the park
She said “ i¨ll keep it , for someone who needs it ,
In need “ .

Wait for me , hold the time
This train will reel back around
Cast your veil , knit for the cold
Net in threads that”ll weave the world
In the fire your eyes alight in me
Left in smoke , on the ashes on the outskirts of town
Trust your steps , don’t clip your heals
No one else will catch you like i will
It was a song that sent me here
It will be a chord that will pull me back again
Mountains of kisses , my lips to your secrets
That move slow to your quivering rivers
They say the heart is blind to see
But whenever i am with you
Its beat shakes the room
It was a song that sent me here
It”ll be a qual that will send me back again
The jukebox licks every heartache in this room
Why my ear left your penchant
It was a song that sent me here
It”ll be a squall that will send this train back whistlin
Yours sincerely
Yours sincerely
Love send me release

Drinkin fire for a moment
Takin flames to feel alive
Breathe in deep to keep caught alight
Digital ash wishing kindling would last
Mistakes are the feelings left all alone
I spend my days dreaming of ghosts that won’t let go
And dangerous minds replay sorrow
Clouds keep passing along with hair on my pillow
Let the score fade out
Let the curtain call never to rise once more
All the scenes we made to believe
Left in this darkness by the stage door
All the roses lay at your feet
I know what you mean i hate to be this way
Not enough strength to fight or else to run away
All the glitter that roared
Lipstick on my shirt is last year’s pantomime
Echoes to encore

Luz de Luna

In the morning after the rain
The sun in her eyes shot rainbows from her blues
Littered lightning kept the night alive
Flashing memories along the ridge
To guide the ghosts home
Let my mind chime
I shake to the bone
Rage in sheets , soak the shadows
To rise again
Call the mountain , it gave me a cave
Without the sky i was lost to find my name
Your breath in silence after the roar
I lay with you a dogs crack run
Thunders roll
The bitter lies , curing
Lover burn
And i don’t even know the reasons anymore
To where i go , to find you
It tells me that i know not that stranger as i recall
Come to me luz de luna

Gone for Good

I shot the ivory , i melted your silver
Swung that cold cold hammer down
I may have broken your months of tears
But what I lost is gone for good
I took the dollar , i gambled the dice
I sung for your blues every night
I may have wasted your precious years
But what we lost is gone for good
I could sail that boat to asia
Take a flight to spain
Retrace those streets i know so well of ol’ london town
Fuck off to the west coast to the desert alone
But what I lost is gone for good
You shook the walls , screamed in the halls
Bit my tonge , scratched out my scars , twisted my clause
Have you found redemption from what we cause
That winter breeze is summertimes curse
Now i”ve found a way to get on the straight
I find a way sometimes to get laid
I show my teeth to strangers on the street
I tried two times this week to quit cigarettes
But what i”ve lost is gone for good
