Here you come again With the cold, cold wind And you say you've been To hell and then... Things turn around You made it through No stars no stones Will ruin you So you had to go Into the cold, cold wind And then you went Into the night again
2.
When I saw the blue lines In the stall Behind the freeway signs I knew it all would change I knew we'd make a way Because, I wanted... A life ornamental We could hang on on the wall No I'm not sentimental But I would fill them all I would fill them all Every single hall I would fill them all Every single wall Because, I wanted... A life on the mantle We could hang on the wall No I'm not sentimental But I would fill them all
3.
This dust hangs on the blade Watching all the love we made Lay down...lay down in this heat Almost feel you on the sheet I can see your cells In the light...floating through air These days seem too bright...too bright As time turns toward the night Shadows spin Rotations in sight This skin...a measure of life Stretch on me now I'm growing again As time turns toward the night Shadows spin Rotations in sight
4.
In the time it takes For your light to fade Your heart to ache Or your bones to break Your body to take it all Please hold on In the time it takes For your mind to wake Your thoughts to place Or your arms to raise Your voice to grace us all Please hold on

Be Together 03:09
Drive into the rain In the new year, we'll get together When it all starts to feel the same Drive into the rain In the new year We'll be together When it all feels the same Darling remember We'll be together

Papery Thin 05:01
Faces on glass We were looking to gain You hoped it'd be different But sort of the same We're arcing the bend We were shining on dark plain You hoped it'd be different Wax without wane We careen in Layers papery thin Gold foiled All fire and oxygen Backlit and burnin it's silvery spin unspoiled hearts in tin Faces on glass We saw everything float You hoped it'd be different but They told you so... We're reaching the end And they're waiting for you We're arcing the bend
8.
It's an old game, my love When you can't have me, you want me Because you know that you're not risking anything Intimacy is when we're in the same place At the same time Dealing honestly with how we feel, And who we really are That's what grown-ups do That is mature thinking Well I'm still a junkie for it It takes me out of my aloneness But this relationship cannot sustain itself Intimacy is when we're in the same place At the same time Dealing honestly with how we feel, And who we really are That's what grown-ups do That is mature thinking I just have to know how to be in the process Of creating things in a better way And it hurts but it's a lie that I can't handle it I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill I still have a life, and it's a rich one even with mourning Even with grief and sadness I still care about this planet I am still connected to nature And to my dreams for myself I have my friends, my family. I have myself I still have me I have my friends, my family. I have myself I still have me
