Benjamin Francis Leftwich

All of our friends survived, When a plane crashed their minds. And in 1904 I found, Some real, real strength in my ground. You look at me with your old, old eyes, That you used to. Look at your God in your old, old way. Have you lost your way? All of...

Take me to the docks there is a ship without a name there, And it is sailing to middle of the sea. The water there is deeper than anything you’ve ever seen, Jump right in and swim until your free. I will remember your face, Because I am still in love wit...

Took a ride home Woke up in the snow Went out to bury my dog Drink the rain up Put on a brave face For a brave day Don’t need no human heat To make me feel okay Then I heard you say I got punched out today I don’t need no bottle baby To make me fee...

My harbor has a boat in it, The water makes it’s way around it, And when the sun shines down, the hills winds blow, I miss you more. You said I’m young and I’m yours I’m free but I’m flawed, I’m here in your heart, I was here from the start. The forest...

When I said I wanted to see ya I only ever wanna talk I only ever wanted to tell ya To walk the walk When I said I wanted to be there I only ever wanted to say Why don't you come dancing? Everywhere we go From the summer to the snow We will pave the way And...

Even though a faded glow won’t burn through all your bars, You put out to put up. Even while your lightning smile was shaking in the smoke, Your head was full of hope. Because I am a member of the butterfly culture. Where we work and we take, we play and...

You were waiting by the stone wall Your money in your hands Twisted and turned by the fires that burn You said I am making a stand You said please for me I wanna be sad free I need you to be Swimming in a sad free sea With me You went out on the snow...

I wasn't the only one loving you when you fell to the floor Looking up, you said, "What a view I want to dive in it all" The minute you were carried away Day by day Moon by moon We make our ways And some time You may find That all may be the same I...

Don’t go slow, You’ll miss all the things that you need. Your love and heat, Runs from your head to your feet. I saw you first in the car on the way to the lake, I kept you there. If my bones were wrapped around you, And my skin was right in front of...

Show me how I got here So I can plant my root Out over those branches I throw down at my boots Only you could tell me The secret to my mind is only me being ready To swim into the tide that's coming in You know me, brother All of my bridges have start...

I know that you're ready to go But stay a while And fake a smile I know that you're ready to go Cause there you lay and stare away Out the window, the houses through the groves And to the mountains down the road I will follow in your footsteps When I...

There is nothing we could say or do To stop the world from tearing us in two From your heart where I drew a line Through the water and down your spine I blew a hole in my hand to see you I drew a line through the sand to be with you Can you hear me cal...

[Verse 1:] We stayed up waiting for the morning Beneath the full Moon on the snow You turned to me before you turned to go You said I'm always rushing through the day With my thoughts like bullets in my brain And I don't need love it only gets in my way...

I know that you are leaving but I hope that you can stay The hardest part about healing was knowing what you would say When your garden was covered in snow, love I could tell what you wanted to say And then when you called me again, love You told me you were...

Stay, I could be your hiding place Together we'll weather the storm If you stay, I could be a fall from grace When the heavens, say we'll never belong Any time you're losing touch Just breathe, I'll catch you on the way down We can turn around, the weig...

Tell me why you're kicking every rose that you come across? Walking like a man that you never been so lost And I know that you say that your heart never breaks Well come on lover, I see through what you say Tell me why you're picking up on everything that...

This is just the start, you've got a cold heart Don’t you want to spend more time around here I ran out through the garden Ended by your home With broken arms and stolen charms I knew you weren’t alone Don’t you love me yeah Don’t you wanna be my sky...

Its better to sing that you stick to your wings then to roll in the past But right in the blur of a stormed apparition I was stuck out making it last Are you ready for love to carry you home Keep your hands steady You’re bound to be unknown When you were get...

I named a star for you I named a star after you But that wasn't bright enough for you I climbed a hill for you I climbed a hill just for you But you said "That's nothing new, what does that prove?" I know if I find what you hide in your mind, I'll get...

I'm wide awake Colours start to run Giving in, like I'm staring at the sun I'm burning up, cause you say that you love Me, but I know there's a life I'm giving up In another life, like mayflies, we'll take over the sky In another world, away from here...

all the water, all the water in the world... stop my heart, stop. lay for once. and do you know, the secret road... where I can go, to see and feel you grow if it's not too much, i would love to see you there with bone coloured skin and flowers in your h...

If you crash a car into your best friends house, would you be quiet as words came out of their mouth. “stop don’t do it, i have been waiting for it, stop i knew it would come” If you find a guard next to your girlfriends bed, would it be hard to sort out...

When you were young You lost on everyone Then you closed your eyes And said your goodbyes In a year Or ten, I will be there I will come for you When you are on your own On a chair In a room with no one else I will touch your hand And say I under...

Couldn't be saved by no other one but you Could you never make it out of the lie we were living through And you sing And free with desire Then we are heading home As the sun is rising [Bridge] Sing to me, I feel I'm feeling nothing at all Tell me wher...

I could live in a different place with a different house and a different name I could sing you your favourite song and you’d sing along yeah you’d sing along I could wrap you in your favourite clothes and kiss your face just so you know That I’m the one who...

I was only looking for the treasure in the dark Not the trees and people in the middle of the park But the treasures buried under years and years of time He put his hand in my hand and he told me son When they all come looking for you where you gonna run?...

Some other arms are holding you down as I wait at the gate Some other charm is making you stay as I make my escape Over the moon, under the ground I don't care how we work out I wish you no harm If some other arms are keeping you happy [Verse 2] I was...

Caught a bird and let it go, had a rope and don't you know. When I pulled it down, it settled on the ground. Caught a bird and in a trap, had a lot to give back. When the sun came by you opened up your eyes. Oh brother, will you let me in again? Oh siste...

There was a boat in the sea I knew Couldn't believe what I saw was true I swam out through the waves Caught as it moved away Said I stole you away I said I stole you away Next time I steal you away Next time I steal you darlin', will you stay?...

It started with a beating of a frozen winter heart It started with a feeling, I can make a brand new start Gonna go out, gonna shake off all the demons of the day Gonna sing out, gonna stay out 'cause the rain has gone away It's been a long, hard year I'...

Wherever you are Floating on a boat or on a star Whatever you do Every time we touch you move You have different eyes For every time your heart arrives I want you to sigh it's alright I am a fine lift swimming you are the line If this was a new land,...

I wonder what you're thinking Staring through the rain Going through our baby names Your husband thinks you're sleeping At a motorway hotel He doesn't know tonight you're flying out of hell Be my rose, growing in the cold Be my light in the window at h...

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down You could stand me up at the gates of hell But I won't back down Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down (Chor...
