LONE CABIN CROW
..Bed Brains II..
Lead me inside your head
I want your brain and mine to share a bed
And undress, my love, and don the dark like nightly garments
Make me fall in love with your silhouette all over again
And tell me of all the magic that you have seen and that you can not explain
And give me hope that I'll find peace by the end and believe life is in death as well
...
..The Worrying Soldier..
There are tyre marks on the gravel road that leads to your house
And if I get there, I know you'll likely be gone
I know you'll likely be gone
A plane is taking off
I see it up there
Are you on board, my love?
Did you make it out?
A plane is taking off
I see it up there
Are you on board, my love?
Did you make it out?
...
..The Old Alternative..
Stay, it is alright
I'll take you home when you're ready to go
And you're never on your own;
promise you that
We walked for days and we stood for weeks
Split our lips and scraped our knees
You're never on your own
We walked for days and we stood for weeks
Split our lips and scraped our knees
I will forget everything else
It's only you now that I give a fuck about
I will forget everything else
It's only you now that I give a fuck about
We walked for days (I will forget)
And we stood for weeks (Everything else)
Split our lips (It's only you now)
And scraped our knees (That I give a fuck about)
We walked for days (I will forget)
And we stood for weeks (Everything else)
Split our lips (It's only you now)
And scraped our knees (That I give a fuck about)

..Lonely Play..
When you see two dots, can you resist to draw a line?
And when you do, will you make it smile?
And the scenery is flawed and the broken window is making you cold
Yet your lonely play goes on, goes on
And there's so many voices for you to be
And they all do sound so very strange to me
And can you even hear the street and all the people walking by?
With all their hurried steps and their fragile lives
And can you even hear the street and all the people walking by?
With all their hurried steps and their fragile lives
And when I stepped in, I didn't feel my feet
And when I spoke it was as if you'd never heard
...
..Frayed Sweater Sleeves II..
It must have been the discomfort that was stored in your eyes,
and the way your fingertips moved so nervously
And I imagined the sound of your voice as if you rarely ever spoke;
feeling like some high-end innocence,
thrusting spears into my awkward chivalry
Tell me something, my love
Anything - I'm a fan of your voice
Tell me something, my love
Anything - I'm a fan of your voice
Tell me something, my love
Anything - I'm a fan of your voice
Tell me something, my love
Anything - I'm a fan of your voice
Darling, you must know that I've been sleeping in salty soil;
spinning on the same old dream,
to root down in a quiet place, and then to never fucking leave
Darling, you must know
Darling, you must know that I've been sleeping in salty soil;
spinning on the same old dream,
to root down in a quiet place, and then to never fucking leave

..The View from the Carriage Road II..
Preachers, farmers, all found solace,
in the place we are heading
And when we fear, we need not linger
For we find solace in one another
Rest your eyes, son
We'll be there soon
...
..Sundial..
Follow me upon foreign word
It is time you got your horses in a herd
We will sleep like bandits on the run;
uneasily, while daylight turns the sun clock 'round
Follow me upon foreign word
It is time you got your horses in a herd
We will sleep like bandits on the run;
uneasily, while daylight turns the sun clock 'round
Lo, there are, up on our hill, strange men
They rose us up when they called your name
And they will stay as prowling creatures tend;
determined, and prone to light the sky with fire
Old friend, what have you done?
It is time you got your horses in a herd
I can count five more of them now
Tell you, friend, we have to make our run now
Follow me upon foreign word
It is time you got your horses in a herd
We will sleep like bandits on the run;
uneasily, while daylight turns the sun clock 'round
Follow me upon foreign word
It is time you got your horses in a herd
We will sleep like bandits on the run;
uneasily, while daylight turns the sun clock 'round
...
..The Vault II..
When death comes to tuck me in I'll say;
"No, I don't wanna lie down -
I'm not tired at all"
And he'll hush, and he'll coo,
but I won't calm down
Calm down
Calm down
I'll look up at him like a wounded animal at the vet;
knowing something's wrong -
I'm not tired at all
And with big, old eyes begging wordlessly;
"Please, father, don't put me down"
But death's been at this point before,
and it's had the same outcome ever since
But maybe in some way, finally, death will fall victim to compassion,
looking into those eyes
And then maybe some day we won't all need to die
And he'll spare us on account of those big, old eyes
When death comes
When death comes I'll dream me up another world,
where everything's within my own hands
When death comes I'll break the daydream vault,
and let everything slip out
(When death comes) I'll break the daydream vault
Here's to the old world (When death comes)
This new world has naught but two
That is me, and that is you
With the noise that the old made (When death comes),
I don't miss it very much
This new world has naught but two
That is me, and that is you
With the noise that the old made,
I don't miss it very much
