Whale 06:15
Whale The constant clatter Of Western leaning Tall oak trees In our valleys end I wake from sleeping And I walk beneath them Every days a one-off Every days a one-off I take it with me A handful of snow The fear that we are done It melts so quickly In the valley below Standing in the sun, the sun The truth is simple The truth is hidden A wise old woman In the corner singing I know I hurt you I know I left you Every days a one-off Every days a one-off Like a river draining A falling mother Love has been a weight I drag it there Upon my shoulder To keep me going straight, straight I think we dodged a whale An offered kiss An open hand A promise made A grain of sand Can I keep counting The cold, cold year? I am almost there I am almost there, I love you I love you

In Our House 05:23
In Our House When you spoke of love I think you meant the wild kind Tearing at my chest You skinned your knees so white Put your red dress on Laughing like a nervous bride Bring me to your lips Whisper deep inside Fire in our house No one put it out Fire in our house No one put it out The sun rose like a dime On a desert of our promises All spent like empty shells Littered on the forest floor Put your red dress on Meet me as the evening falls Feel the burning air Trapped inside these walls I found my old man Breathing out against my teeth I heard my mother's voice Calling out between the trees Put your red dress on I promise I will ask no more

Glory Bird 04:59
Glory Bird When I was ageless I had no family Leaping through elegant pines Silently sweeping the sky I had no family It starts with a bitter taste Blood rushes to my head A blue and unnameable grace Tracing the lines of your face Blood rushes to my head Take care Your nights will be long So long That sweet fruit Rots on the vine This time Ask for the glory to end Under your shut throat A bird heart is beating Under the shouting and blame I hear you calling my name A bird heart is beating Take care Your nights will be long So long That sweet fruit Rots on the vine This time Ask for the glory to end Ask for the glory to end

Mad with Love I went into your room Found your heavy wedding band It felt so small Like a bullet in my hand I did not cry when You called out my name I just opened my mouth I didn't know what to say Where's that winning smile Or the cool to shrug it off There's a chill in my embrace A fever in my cough I am mad with love I turn through the day When you're reaching out I just turn away In my mind you're still speaking In my mind I'm still there In my mind you're still speaking In my mind I'm still there

Lighter than the Leaves So is this the end Live as strangers, talk as friends In the night the sun is down We drive in circles through our town Don't turn away Don't turn to leave This is the last you'll hear me speak Please, remember me We were lighter than the leaves We were eighteen, we swam across Your lake, and I got lost When I was scared I called your name My friend, you never came Don't turn away Don't turn to leave This is the last you'll hear me speak Please, remember me We were lighter than the leaves Don't turn away Don't turn to leave This is the last you'll hear me speak

My Old Skin 05:09

Belly 05:09
Belly I was just young then Proud and foolish I had an aching to come clean In that small room With no window Turning it out like some machine I don't care how tough You think you are You swam in a belly just like me An endless ocean I want to go back there You do too, man, I can see When you close your eyes It's not dark enough I can't ignore you You don't deserve that We're not so young anymore When you said stay here I felt my heart break I never made it through the door When I close my eyes It's not dark enough

Horses 06:27
Horses Annie dreams about horses She knows them all by name Calling them out from the forest The dream is always the same Strolling in fields, rives and laughing Everything perfect and tame Annie dreams about horses She knows them all by name Walking in fields in the morning The dew is sweet and kind Clings to your dress and our fingers I feel you are mine The love in your words, I can't forget it It just faded in time Walking in fields in the morning I feel you are mine Remember her weight on your shoulders Feel her head on your knee Brushing the hair from your vision What are you trying to see? A closet of moments, cold and unchanging A couple of tears in the sea Remember her weight on your shoulders Feel her head on your knee I wasn't sleeping when you came in I was wide awake I felt you slip in beside me For heaven's sake A weekend of splitting, tearing apart Giving you all you can take I wasn't sleeping when you came in I was wide awake
