Sea Wolf

Here on the ground I cannot hear a sound Just a strong and steady rain Getting louder as you sing It may be true that I lied I broke a promise that I tried But my heart no longer beats My blood makes black dirt under your feet Black dirt will stain your feet...

It weighs too much this time My hands are broken She'll disappear again Before we've spoken The night we took that year In Black Leaf Falls All of the trees were bare Next to the dance hall I saw you outside The bathroom stalls You were just standing there Ou...

I watched you sleeping and could not believe it You and I beneath shadows on ceiling You seem so different so much younger than before I'm still the impostor with my suitcase on the floor Sometimes the feeling coming back I feel that darkness at my back...

Dear fellow traveler Under the moon I saw you standing in the shadows and your eyes won't move You put your hand out Opened the door You said come with me boy, I want to show you something more You spoke my language And touched my limbs It wasn't diff...

Here by the river side I brought by soon-to-be bride Through the fog and smoke Watch the geese and the barges flow She sang in the city dawn Wrapped my limbs inside her clear song Every car passing by Slowed to hear my beloved's sigh And the dew in the grass...

everytime i come back home i get this feeling i'm alone yet the streets are all the same and all my friends still know my name. i wonder when i'm at my door, will this key work anymore? does someone else now live inside, and think the former tenant died? i do...

well I woke up this morning and I made a resolution, I said "never going to sing another sad song again." I decided I'd admit it, I'm not an intellectual, though the words never come easy unless I'm singing them, and the hills that I was born in will never le...

I met a girl on halloween well she was lost and i was drunk and it was dark and cold out when we left and as we walked the rain started the leaves ive felt (?) with every step and all around around us people slept alone with their dreams the wind came down fr...

Well I'm so sad tonight And the words won't come out right It's been a long day on the track And its stamina that I lack So won't you run to me tonight? Tonight could turn but we're just lovers But I'll only ever be a middle distance runner Well my heart is...

Among the trees and by the river Lying there, my darling shivers In her sleep she dreams of winter Whiter than her breast. I feel her heart move through her chest Warm and steady as she rests. Hear water ebbing with her breath Lulling me to sleep. Light from...

Show me your stripes Said the zebra to The wicked spider In the morning dew I will provide For you shelter and wine If you can prove That you are of my kind" O ho Maria! I'd break my wooden bones for you You took my crystal heart And shook it through and thro...

Old friend come back home Even though you always were alone You had to push against the fates Just to make it Make it through the gate But now we’re getting older And we’re growing up So now less action in the water And we know enough Stood upon the...

Orion said, This body is mine, And you may do with it what ever you like But when the sky turns red you'd better come back home 'Cause i can't spend these summer nights alone Orion said, I'm just a humble hunter The dog the only company I keep Forgive me if i...

We walk We walk with folded hands And we're careful with our feet We listen We listen with open ears And every word is a kiss is a sigh is a promise from beautiful lips Now this is This is the way we were But the rose no longer blooms And we've taken What cou...

Awake without warning The black of the morning All shimmery jewels From the voice of a fool Echoes through the halls Of the building He built in her place He'll shake through the winter And dream of her mister The picture he drew her Resembled her sister Oh h...

Spirit horse, spirit me away I had a vision by the riverside today Spirit horse, spirit me away Come take my body, fly me over the bay I was a petty gold thief in the dirt I took my dog-bite tongue and made you hurt You were a dove of simple beauty and call I...

You sent your silvery warning Black horizon storming, storming Summer steam in the morning Oh Stanislaus, don't hold your breath for me You were a beautiful fable Swept your dirt under the table, table I'd trade your oak for a maple Oh Stanislaus, don't hold...

Please don't lie, don't lie to me that you're not afraid, my love. I know you well enough to know you can't be alone. If you were to roll, to roll down your window you'd find the wind, the ice, the trees that sway like skeletons outside. But when the cold, t...

Good Morning Dear I hope I didn't wake you too soon Because my mind is growing tired Too much thinking what I should do I picture you out there It must be beautiful this time of year All those East Coast leaves Floating round like embers from burning trees Wel...

Last night we went out to the orchard in the snow There in the constellations, a big dipper far below We walked through the blackness, felt the endless space around And you bent down on your knee and picked an apple from the ground Out past the forest where t...

Winter city by the ocean Building lights glimmer on the bay Oh, how you woke him from his slumber Gently now, gently with a kiss And we went drifting over to the corner Our eyes move with us, graceful in the shadows We think of the mystery And we think of the...

This part's for my love of old How the rose in your heart you hold Still all the water in your wells won't make it grow Oh, the call of the nightingale How I love beneath the ghostly sails We move like gypsies 'neath the mist and beneath the gloom Oh, how th...

Hyacinth lightning virgin Breathing in your ear She says you've gone and hurt her Turned her pure-white body clear Shiver through the open window The streetcars rumble by You long for your winter lady Not this stranger by your side Not this stranger by your si...

Your lips are nettles Your tongue is wine Your laugher's liquid But your body's pine You love all sailors But hate the beach You say "Come touch me" But you're always out of reach In the dark you tell me of a flower That only blooms in the violet hour Your...

Come closer to the window-frame Window to the dark and the field of snow I saw you running like summer-flame Running through the grass Turning gold to black Oh, turn the dirt over If you want to grow back Oh! open up the shutters See the moonlight on The snow...

Looked down to the park Sat down in the leaves Boots wet in the dark Laughter in the trees Held it in my hand small golden ring Watched them in the sand * to (sing/say?) Whatever you say, say nothing Whatever you say, say nothing Oooh ohh ohh ohhh...

What is this pulling, tugging at me limbs so heavy, dragging me down again into the depths of cold blue water but don't believe me, I swear this isn't me I just want to feel the sunlight warm and soothing on my naked skin So I'm hoping this cold blue wate...

I felt the cold of the ice and water Come flowing through as it pulled me under I saw my hand reaching out in the ether And touched the branches in my cold white fever Flow, white water, flow Down to me I heard you calling in the city canyons I should have w...

We met in the east Poured in like a flood You're the whispering kind Dark sapphire blood You're a vision of veils All shimmery white Like a backdrop of sails All aglow from the light Of the wonder behind At a starry night In the mountain's song In the blue ja...

There is a man inside a room in the forest He sits alone upon the chair his father left him In the dark, in the dark, in the dark with the radio on The voice crackles when he says that God will save you He will take you from the lonely life you're living If y...

Stepped out through the __ nights, took care in the common light Cathedral bells ringing down, branches blooming all through town And in my ears a steady ring kept me moving towards the spring It was a long, long cold year, but I think it's all becoming clear...

I'm walking On the southern stream Cut to the river 'Fore I run too low I'm walking On the southern stream Cut to the river 'Fore I run too low Old gypsy woman spoke to me Lips stained red From a bottle of wine Old gypsy woman spoke to me Lips stained red Fro...

Outside in the evening, spent Bored so we ran out around Young bodies in motion, tearing through the town We laid on your parent's floor Listen 'til 4am To the tapes we used to make And never would again Shadows up, moving through Cedarsmoke, in your...
