I sleep with the windows open To let all the colors shine in And as for the silence outside It’s shaking and breaking the night And there's no place for me No place that I can see That holds me up this way That makes me want to stay And there's no other place like this The weight of a lover’s kiss And, dear, where do we draw the line, this time? I sleep with the windows open To let all the colors shine in And, oh, as the night turns to day And dawn casts the shadows away And there's no place for me No place that I can see That holds me up this way That makes me want to stay And there's no other place like this The weight of a lover’s kiss And, dear, where do we draw the line, this time? And all we have is love So all we are is love

Wake me like it's been, love, years and years Since you've been someone else's love Slow the ground gives way beneath our feet My love, my sweet She knows me now When I come around Lover, lover, come around And find the waking of the world And all I wanted was you And all I wanted was to be with you And all I wanted was to be in your arms In your arms tonight Shake me now, the words are holding out To fight the silence and the shame And waiting for you slowly holds me down The ground is wearing thin But it's never, ever gonna change Never, ever, ever gonna change The way I feel about you And all I wanted was to be with you And all I wanted was to be in your arms tonight And all I wanted was to be with you And all I wanted was to be in your arms In your arms tonight Wake me like it's been, love, years and years Since you've been sleeping next to me And slowly I can feel you coming ‘round The sun!

The Garden 02:53
There’s a place, where a garden grows Where your heartbeat shakes the snow There’s a sound, like a bullet train Moving quickly through the rain Lover, in the darkness, I’ll be near I’ll be there to take your fears And even at the end, well, I’ll be there To take your place There’s a flame, going coast to coast Out to guide you There’s a hand, reaching toward the dawn Safe and strong, love, to pull you on Lover, in the darkness, I’ll be near I’ll be there to take your fears And even at the end, well, I’ll be there to take your place Oh, ‘cause lover, at our darkest, I’ll be here I’ll be there to take your fears And even at the end, well, I’ll be there To take your place When the morning comes Oh, you'll be in my arms And when the night grows cold Love, I'll pull you close And lover, in the darkness I’ll be here I’ll be there to take your fears And even at the end, well, I’ll be there To take your place

Cast your heart to the floor, love Feel the sting Feel the weight of a love Of a love not strong enough Your head’s on fire Your hands and feet come off the ground Oh, sweet desire When your mind’s not strong enough It’s not that your head is gone It’s just that your heart is on fire It’s not that the beat is off It’s just that your heart is on fire Clutch your hands to her body And feel the sting Feel the shape of a love Of a love not strong enough Your head’s on fire Your hands and feet come off the ground Oh, sweet desire When your mind’s not strong enough It’s not that your head is gone It’s just that your heart is on fire It’s not that the beat is off It’s just that your heart is on fire Lay back, let the weight go off Float on, let the feelings grow higher It’s not that your head is wrong It’s just that your heart is on fire And we can’t stop We’ve come too far here This silent heart will wait for years And years, and years It’s not that your head is gone It’s just that your heart is on fire It’s not that the beat is off It’s just that your heart is on fire Lay back, let the weight go off Get up, let your feelings grow higher It’s not that your head is wrong It’s just that your heart is on fire

A Love Song 05:32
This is the ending of the beginning And I've got my fingers pressed up Tight against your back And, oh, how reckless You removed your necklace And cast it out upon the floor Upon piles and piles of clothes And I love you I'll always love I’ll always love you Just like this And I love you I'll always love you I’ll always love you Just like this Oh, the sweetness Of your warm kiss Grazing slow upon my brow And here, now, we trace Out every embrace And cast our bodies to the floor Upon piles and piles of clothes And I love you I'll always love I’ll always love you just like this And I love you I'll always love you I’ll always love you just like this This is the ending of the beginning And I've got my fingers pressed up Softly on your back And, oh, the sweet speak Oh, dear of your heartbeat It moves so slowly on the floor Upon piles and piles of clothes And I love you I'll always love you I’ll always love you just like this And I love you I'll always love you I’ll always love you just like this

The Tree 03:32
Find me a seed And I'll find you water We’ll plant ourselves here The wind, rain, and fodder Will add to our rings To our life, to our legacy We form a tree The roots and the branches Locked in the soil So shaped by the chances Oh, we’ve built a home Built a place for a history And rain will come To put out the fires, love And we’ll remain, love A statue that lives on for years For all time Here in the winter We shed off our leaves Though the seasons will change My heart, love, it heeds To the warmth in your glance In your lips, in your warm embrace When we break a branch We’ll shake off the splinters ‘Cause wounds, love, they fade And add to our shape And rain will come To put out the fires, love And you remain My only desire, love ‘Cause I am yours, and you are mine And I’ll be yours for all time In time, you wrapped your roots round me And how I found you in the weeds I’ll never know Oh, I’ll never know You were the seed And I was the soil Here in the earth Our roots they did coil Entwined, now our hearts Form a life, form a legacy
7.
Caught in a wave So soft and safe You’ve got your heart locked up But now how I’ve come Like the sound of a gun It isn't enough It isn't enough You are the beginning You are the end Caught in my wake So soft and safe I’ve got you lost I’ve got you locked up And now we are one Like the fire and sun And, oh, what I’ve done Oh, what have I done? Oh, what a love that gives And then taketh all away Oh, what a man will do When a man’s lost everything When everything’s changed You are the beginning You are the end Locked in a cage Anchored and safe You’ve got my heart locked up Oh, now it comes Like the sound of a gun It isn’t enough It isn’t enough

Pride 03:34 video
Clasp your hands to the floor, love The icy sting that you used to know Well, you said you won’t go, you said won’t go ‘Cause it’s all down from the way things are You said you won’t go, you said you won’t go For this life, in this life Now that your heart is stalling Now that your hands and your body clutch the soil Now that the beast is calling from a foreign shore Now that the weight has fallen Well, your mind lets go and your body falls apart Oh, well, your mind lets go and your body falls apart Hold your heart, clutch to your chest, love The icy sting that you’ve always known Well, you said you won’t go, you said won’t go ‘Cause it’s all down from the way things are You said you won’t go, you said you won’t go For this life, in this life Now that the heart is stalling Now that your hands and your body clutch the soil Now that the beast is calling from a foreign shore Now that the weight has fallen Well your mind lets go and your body falls apart Oh, well, your mind lets go and your body falls apart Step outside, close your eyes The weight of the world is clear

Her Song 04:00
Well, the rain came down, when the night came out And you always thought it would get much easier Take your old man’s advice, and prepare your young heart ‘Cause when the war, it shakes, well, the light, it stops We’re miles and miles from the promised land, dear But, I swear to god, we’re already here Take your old man’s advice, and prepare your young heart Take your old man’s advice, and prepare your young heart The weight of the world is resting on your back And everyone you know says it gets much easier When the weight of the world falls slack Kick up your feet and let’s move forever I'll set the sail if you lift the tether All of the times that we've shared together All of the sounds, in all kinds of weather This is the way it should be forever This is the way it could be forever Well the world is a wild and a wondrous place (Well, the world is wild, my love) And your heart, my love, it has no need to break right now (And your heart, my love, has no need to break) Shake your old man’s advice and prepare your young heart (Shake your old man’s advice and prepare your young heart) ‘Cause when the war it shakes, well, the light, it stops The weight of the world is resting on your back And everyone you know says it gets much easier When the weight of the world falls slack Let’s kick up our feet and let’s move forever I'll set the sail if you lift the tether All of the times that we've shared together All of the sounds, in all kinds of weather This is the way it should be forever This is the way it could be forever And what are we waiting for? For the band to play us off? Kick up your feet and let’s move forever I'll set the sail if you lift the tether All of the times that we've shared together All of the sounds in all kinds of weather This is the way it should be forever This is the way it could be forever This is the way it should be for...

We Evaporate 05:36
And the wind blows through the windows And the night grows by it's shadows, my love Now, it comes Like timid lovers making love I watched you swaying from above And pulled you close into my arms Oh, the shake, the let go Oh, this night, the warm glow we know Here in this place of reason This ever changing season Hearts and minds are made To evaporate Oh, the sweetness of your warm kiss Makes my heart twitch Makes the world shift And here, tonight I want you here, love, by my side, However dark, however light I want you here for all my life And, oh, the shake, the let go And oh, this night, the warm glow we know Here in this place of reason This ever changing season Hearts and minds are made Here in this place of wonder This ever changing blunder Now the ground gives way And we evaporate And, oh, the shake, the let go Of all the years we won’t know How we reach through the dark Or a life not meant to be And now, the ground gives way And we evaporate

Baby, you've got your legs Baby, you've got your legs So walk yourself outside You best go run and hide Oh, you better be, better be gone Baby, you've got your arms Baby, you've got your arms So wrap yourself up tight And move on for the night Oh, you better be, better be gone ‘Cause baby, you've got your hands Oh, baby, you've got your hands So take your things and go And move on down this road Oh, you better be, better be gone ‘Cause baby, you’ve got my heart Oh, baby, you've got my heart So take your wretched bones And move out on your own Oh, you better be, better be gone Baby, you've got your legs Baby, you've got your legs So walk yourself outside And move on for the night Oh, you better be, better be gone ‘Cause baby, you’ve got my heart Oh, baby, you've got my heart So take my love and go And move out on your own Oh, you better be, better be gone

Come or go, we belong together Lying here forever In the cold, cold, cold Lay low, clutch your limbs forever Lying here together In the cold, cold, cold And the war, it carries on And our hearts, they echo strong With a silent tick We whimper and fall Take your time, and take it slow Take your breath, and feel it go Come or go, we belong together Lying here forever In the cold, cold, cold Lay low, shake your limbs forever Lying here together In the cold, cold, cold And the war, it carries on And our hearts, they echo strong With a silent tick We whimper and fall Take your breath, and take it slow Feel your heart, and let it go The ground it shakes And the silence breaks And you know And now the weight Such a bitter taste Well, it grows I will be there when you want I will be there when you want As the days rush along I will be there when you want I will be there when you want As the night rushes on And the day turns to dawn Come or go we belong together Lying here forever In the cold, cold, cold, cold Lay low, shake your limbs forever Lying here together In the cold In the cold In the cold In the cold, cold, cold
