I’d sully my hands to keep yours clean
I’d silence the lands to hear you sing
You carry the burden of worries unknown
Your shoulders could bear the weight of the world
And I liked the colours I saw in your breathe
‘til it turned to fire there was nothing left
This honeysuckle sweetens my blood
And I want to go home cause I’ve seen enough
You scold and you moan oh you trouble me so
I know that you’re right and it always my fault
The years are unkind to my flesh and my bones
The years that we share will never grow old
And I liked the colours I saw in your breathe
‘til it turned to fire there was nothing left
This honeysuckle sweetens my blood
And I want to go home cause I’ve seen enough
You said you don’t believe in my fairytales
Well a fables all and all and all the same
So take back your Jonah take back his whale
And we’ll drink to the things that we can’t change
We cried and we tried and I carried you home
Tight in my arms I am never alone

Dandelion

Set adrift like a dandelion over a cliff,
I cried out for peace of mind,
and I’ll give you a piece of it, a piece of it.
Reaching down like a Widowbird, over the plains.
You’ll see my sword shall journey first,
and you won’t see me again, me again.
Bathed in Goldworthy’s light, I’ll reach the headland by tonight.
So take me by my new temptation, dancing down, dancing down.
Meet a girl on the reservation, look at her now, look at her now.
I met my girl on that reservation, and look at us now, look at us now.
Look at us now, look at us now, look at us now.
Bathed in Goldworthy’s light. I’ll reach the headland by tonight.
‘Cause I met my girl on that reservation, and look at us now, look at us now.
You said we’re equal in creation, well act like it now, act like it now.
Look at us now, look at us now, look at us now.
Set a drift like a dandelion over a cliff,
I met my girl on that reservation, on that piece of it,
that piece of it, that piece of it, that piece of it.

Hourglass

I count my days, days, days, like they’re numbered,
and you try to look away, look away but I’m like a beacon
If I’d turn into a landscape, Lord make me a tundra.
Make me an hourglass, make me a strummer.
I keep buying plants, I keep buying blankets,
I keep buying anything that makes me feel at home,
I keep making plans always thinking I can’t hack it,
thinking I’d do anything to feel less alone.
But please, please, don’t raise your voice to me,
I’ll come back to you, I’ll come back to the sea,
when the stars start blowing down like the wind at my feet
I’ll marry the man, I’ll marry the man who gives this to me.
Saw you light the fire from the other side of the mountain,
swear I head your voice, heard your voice like a beacon,
I left the shelter, Lord, give my soul to somewhere certain,
make me an hourglass, and give me a curtain.
I keep buying plants, I keep buying blankets,
I keep buying anything that makes me feel at home,
I keep making plans always thinking I can’t hack it,
thinking I’d do anything to feel less alone.
But please, please, don’t raise your voice to me,
I’ll come back to you, I’ll come back to the sea,
when the stars start blowing down like the wind at my feet
I’ll marry the man, I’ll marry the man who gives this to me.
I’ll marry the man, I’ll marry the man who gives this to me.
I’ll marry the man, I’ll marry the man who gives this to me.
But please, please, don’t raise your voice to me,
I’ll come back to you, I’ll come back to the sea,
when the stars start blowing down like the wind at my feet
I’ll marry the man, I’ll marry the man who gives this to me.
I’ll marry the man, I’ll marry the man who gives this to me.
I’ll marry the man, I’ll marry the man who gives this to me.

I closed my eyes,
Looked up to the Gods
Heard my name from Above,
I think I've been lost.
I've dreamed of Demons coming down in the night,
To take my soul, break my bones, somehow they know where I hide
I've dreamed of Demons coming down in the night,
To take my soul, break my bones, somehow they know where I hide
I closed my eyes,
Looked up to the Gods
Heard my name from Above,
I think I've been lost.
Palms facing up,
Heavens Above,
Sins escape from my soul,
I think I've been lost
I've dreamed of Demons coming down in the night,
To take my soul, break my bones, somehow they know where I hide
I've dreamed of Demons coming down in the night,
To take my soul, break my bones, somehow they know where I hide
somehow they know where I hide
Take My soul, Break my bones, Take my soul.
