Poor little bird, hiding your temper
Pause and wait for an answer
Corner the man, get what you’re after
He sure can move, but he’s no dancer
Board the door for one more night
Kill the lights, till the dawn, always forever
Come the morning, fly away
Somebody else will love you better
Sing little bird, no one is listening
High on the hill the world is sleeping
All in your mind, train like a master
You sure do find the strangest weather

At the end of hot July
Lay down the evening sun
In the heart, off the main land
On the wrong side of Canada
I can tell, I can hear your thoughts
For miles and miles across
And if I listen close enough
They’re not about me at all
‘Round and around to the sound of the radio
Caught in a turn till I learn how to let you go
There are things that I’d like to change
I wanna start again
I could wait for the glass to break
Pray for a catalyst
‘Cause the ghost in me oughta find
Who I belong to
Hollowness I can’t leave behind
I’m always in love with you
There was a line drawn thru our love without any space between
But this circle is my own, your line doesn’t end with me

The Real Moon

I know what I’ll do
I’m closer than most to the real moon
I can go outside and really see the light
But lately when I walk
I feel a crowd even if it’s far off
Hiding from the signs
You were never mine
Call it in, take a holiday
All I find is another doorway
Did it happen if nobody saw?
A whole life in a tiny box
I know what I’ll be
I can belong, I can feel at ease
Shouldn’t be so hard,
Wear my hair long in the wind I ride on
‘Cause lately when we talk
I can never tell if you’re listening much
Hiding from the signs
You were never mine
Around 12 o’clock
I see a deer standing on a front lawn
Looking very lost
Staring back at me with same thoughts

Walk on thin ice
Pace around the sides
See yourself slide to the dark
Make a mountain
Out of nothing nice
See yourself climb to the top
What are you seeing?
Deja vu
Make it easy
Big Universe
Full of stars and cosmic align
Old truth and lies
Full confusion
Ties you up in knots
Always turning
Never stop

Are You Dreaming?
01:46

Little baby, are you dreaming?
Yellow leaves in autumn
Moving shadows on the water
And the last of summer
Beams so bright
All the world in golden light
Everyday comes once then it’s over
Then comes a new one
See you in the moontime
Moving shadows on the walls
And all around the clear of night
Beams so bright
All the world in pale blue light
Everyday comes once
Then it’s over

Rocket

What if I’m lonely?
What if I can’t control it?
What if I beg over the phone
Late in the evening
When you’re out doing something
And I get the timing all wrong?
You’re on a sidewalk
Trying to be understanding
Nodding your head
Pacing the ground
Or out in a hallway
Rushing the conversation
Checking that nobody’s around
‘Cause once that rocket goes barrelling
Once someone is down on their knees
Well, it breaks the peace
And it’s never easy to stop
Get on the offense
Rattle the hardest feelings
Forget what you said and do it again
Truly be honest
Not everybody does it
Thrashing around, running their mouth
|

Feel the air
It’s all around you
It’s all around me too
Silver threads
Gold and violet
A million shades of blue
I see morning
You see light, line and shadow, space and time
A looking glass
A broken window
Something lost
Or something on the loose
Seas of change
An angry ocean
Everything or nothing left to lose
|

No surprise
You ache inside
You’re pink and grey and blue
Tooth and wire and finely tied electric inner loops
And I should know,
The thunder rolls when there are things to do
Could be worse,
The curse is just this love I have for you
As long as I get up and out
The day goes
Nothing good could happen home here with my mind closed

Stop The Train
04:42
|
|||
|
Stay down
Let the feeling do what it wants
Know that
It changes over time
We are born
Then years go by
And clouds on the rise
Spin illusions
Everybody fights
I took a long look behind me
You’re gone
Say when
Stop the train and go in the night
Moving
Everything is fine
We are born
Then years go by
And clouds on the rise
Spin illusions
Everybody fights

She's a poet. And she has this great sound; it's so fragile sometimes I think it might fall apart, but it never does. True blue. Oh my land, the production on the thing. Cool shit.

Ignorance

The slow, every-building feeling of quiet menace in "Robber" is deeply unsettling and utterly unforgettable. But every song on this album just *glows*. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Always finding albums like this that I wish I discovered years ago. Love, love, love this, from the simple arrangements to the Bond theme and screams of 'I know the end'.
