I Woke up This Morning
05:55
|
|||
|
I woke up this morning, I was ten stories high
Found myself inside a tower of metal, wood and sky
White dream cloud swept out my cobweb mind
Manitou, Somerset and Hollywood
Looking out around it seems so pure and good
Forgetting everything I thought I never would
I never could
The gears are shifting
Strange voices call
The curtain's lifting
I can see it all
Whatever came before is of no consequence
A fog of lonely and misguided accidents
Wondering when its going to start to make some kind of sense
Some kind of sense
I woke up this morning, I was ten stories high
On a distant island, I don't know how or why
In another place, in another time
The current's shifting
Sweet voices call
The veil is lifting
I can see it all
The veil is breaking
Wild voices call
My hands are shaking
I can see it all
I can feel it all
I can see it all
I can see it all

Twenty Three
05:19

Twenty three - where have you been?
Out looking for silver and gold
Out searching for silver and gold
Twenty three - what did you see?
I'm not sure but it left me so cold
I don't know but it made me so old
Twenty three - what did you dream?
I dreamed that I couldn't go home
I dreamed that I'd never go home
Twenty three - what do you bring?
I bring you my skin and my bones
I bring you my flesh and my bones
And I found nothing I can believe in
There was nothing I could believe in
I found nothing I can believe in but myself
All those corridors brought me to here, brought me to here
All those tangled paths led me to here, led me to here
All those corridors brought me to here, brought me to here
All those twisted paths led me to here, led me to here
Twenty three

Out of Time
05:55
|

|
Time is a circle
You poured it all into one bowl
You broke the cycle
And then you fell into a hole
Time is a circle
Four broken wheels on this cart
You turn a corner
Only to come back to the start
You watch it go around
But you don’t see it closing in
You watch it go around
But you don’t see it closing in
No, you can’t see it closing in
Time is a circle
You gotta let the bad times roll
Only a circle
Come on and let the bad times roll away
You watch it spin around
But you don’t see it closing in
You watch it spin around
But you don’t see it closing in
No, you can’t see it closing in
Am I out of time?
Yes you’re out of time
Are we out of time?
Yes you’re out of time

Harvest and Bread
04:38
|
|||
|
Somewhere between
The stars and the ground
The borders and the town
The fields and the crown
Not going up, not going down
Halfway between
The frost and the bloom
The window and the moon
The dust and the broom
I’m neither in nor out of tune
Falling between
The poor and the rich
The highway and the ditch
The wound and the stitch
I cannot tell
I cannot tell
I cannot tell
Which one is which
Caught in between
The heart and the head
The ceiling and the bed
The harvest and the bread
If you’re looking
If you’re looking
If you’re looking
That’s where I’ll be

Basement Prayer
05:44
|
|||
|
Drifting down a quiet path
Drifting in and out of time
The one thing they can’t take from me
The one thing that’s still mine
A diamond, jewel, polished stone
Radiating light
Something I can care about
Driving home from Edmonton
With a friend of mine
On a highway paved with mistakes
I’m going to get it right next time
A beacon, signpost, cornerstone
Always there when I pass by
Something I am sure about
Waiting, watching everyday
Trying to find the words to say
Reaching through the cold and grey
Searching for the words to say
My records lean against the wall
My books sit on the shelf
Dust and dreams
Strange memories of searching for myself
Darkness, light and in between
Coalesce and swell
Something I can sing about

Galaxies and Suns
06:16
|
|||
|
I caught a glimpse of heaven
Another side of life
I caught a glimpse of heaven
Of what it could be like
To drop it all
To step into the truth
I stumbled on some wonder
Harmony and peace
In city lights reflected
On silent flocks of geese
Pulled by moon and wind
And forces I can't know
I felt a sense of freedom
Innocence and grace
As they floated slowly past me
And disappeared in space
Abiding in the galaxies and suns
I caught a glimpse of heaven

Newborn
04:35
|
|||
|
I am a newborn child
I have no past at all
Yes, I am a newborn child
No, I have no past at all
My heart is open, my life has begun
I am a newborn child
I am nobody’s son
I am a tired man
A bag of bones and skin
I tired and weary man
My light has grown so dim
I guess I’m chained to the world of man after all
I am a tired man
My summer’s turned to fall
I am a newborn child
And I don’t understand
What I’m doing wrong
I’m doing everything that I can
But I’ve been reborn before
And I’ll be reborn again, and again, and again
I am a newborn child, and I’m a tired man

Lost in Memory
07:08
|
|||
|
I'm lost in memory
In the colors, in the streets
In golden light, and turning maple leaves
Every step I take
Brings me deeper into dreams
Still so out of reach
I'm led by memory
Through the avenues and trees
Through shifting light, and waves of evergreen
Everywhere I look
Is some ghost or history
Still just out of reach
Something in my heart has always known
Something here inside has always known what I should do
I'm safe in memory
Into passages beneath
Into fading light, and the endless blue of sleep
Every time I close my eyes
Saskatoon’s under my feet
Always just in reach
Somewhere in my heart I’ve always known
Somewhere here inside I’ve always what I should do
In my heart of hearts, in my heart
In my buried heart, in my heart
In my heart of hearts, in my heart
In my faded heart, in my heart
Something in my heart has always known
Somewhere here inside I’ve always known

Going out in Style
09:26
|
|||
|
Oh, the money’s tight
And our friends have all left town
How was it we were the last ones
Left hanging around?
And we’ve thrown all our coins
To the bottom of the well
In hope of the strength
To break through this spell
No, we've done nothing wrong
No, we’ve done nothing wrong
I know we don’t have much
But then there's not much that we need
Let all hungry dogs bark
And the vampires feed
They are all out for our blood
And they can't be satisfied
But I won’t let them have yours
And they will never get mine
No, we've done nothing wrong
No, we’ve done nothing wrong
And when we go out tonight
Why don’t we go out in style?
We gotta take back our time
And live for a while
And when we go out tonight
I want to go out in style
We gotta steal back the time
To laugh and to smile
To laugh and to smile, to laugh and to smile
To laugh and to smile, to laugh and to smile
5:30 pm summer light streaming in
Outside two pine trees sway
Back and forth in the wind
One day they’ll bend down for us
One day they’ll lift us off the ground
And we won’t look back again
We won’t ever come down
No, we've done nothing wrong
No, we’ve done nothing wrong
And when we go out tonight
Why don’t we go out in style?
We gotta take back our time
And live for a while
And when we go out tonight
I want to go out in style
We gotta steal back the time
To laugh and to smile
To laugh and to smile, to laugh and to smile
To laugh and to smile, to laugh and to smile

Sunset

The day is done
No sense in running anymore
The day is done
No sense in pushing anymore
The earth is sighing
As the sun is going down
The earth is sighing
As the sun is going down, down, down
The dream is here
It stood beside you all this time
The dream is here
It was inside you all this time
The earth is sighing
As your sun is going down
The earth is sighing
As your sun is going down, down, down
The day is done
You watch it flow into the night
The dream is here
You dream another dream of flight
The earth is sighing
As the sun is going down
The earth is sighing
As your sun is going down
The spirit’s rising
As the sun is going down
River birds crying
As the sun is going down, down, down
