Anna Rose sleep well tonight The stars are dancing on the carpet of the sky Time to close your wondering eyes Where I see the sleepiness creeping Anna Rose it makes my heart smile To know you give love so freely Anna Rose it makes it worthwhile Your love make...

In the fall, We circle through the leaves And talk about the little ones. And we smile, but never say too much. The moment always vanishing. One by one the neighbors' lights come on. Our October day is almost gone. I know the border lines we drew between us K...

Oh my god What have I done Chasing some mirage in my Mojave sun Don't say every chance is lost, Please don't say anything at all In sand and thorns I'm walking forth Bare and blinking as the day that I was born Bells in spires of China white Ring for an Augus...

We are not together here Though we lie entwined To make room for the other presence We both draw back in our minds I have a prophecy Threatening to spill into words This growing certainty Of Over There once was a time I was sure of the bond When my h...

Blue, blue caravan Winding down to the valley of lights My true love is a man Who would hold me for ten thousand nights In the wild, wild wailing of wind He's a house 'neath a soft yellow moon So blue, blue caravan Won't you carry me down to him soon Blue, b...

There's still a little bit of your taste in my mouth There's still a little bit of you laced with my doubt It's still a little hard to say what's going on There's still a little bit of your ghost your weakness There's still a little bit of your face i hav...

Me and my baby on a february holiday, 'cause we got the news yeah, we got the news. 500 miles but we're gonna make it all the way. We got nothing to lose, got nothing to lose. Been ten years waiting, but it's better late then never we've been told before. Can...

Well it's you and it's me Me with a drink in my hand The ice is tinkling like a windchime And late afternoon settles over the land And you're talking about things Interesting just slightly And things that matter too much To say any way but lightly Did...

Once when I was thirty-one I woke in the dead of night And heard the vastness of the snowfall outside Slipped downstairs in my bare feet Soon forgotten freezing And poured a milk glass full To wait out the tide It's been a decade and one Been a decade and one...

Summer move forward and stitch me the fabric of fall Wrap life in the brilliance of death to humble us all How sweet is the day I'm craving a darkness As I sit tucked away with my back to the wall And the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth And the landscape...

I'm at your back door With the earth of a hundred nations in my skin You won't recognize me For the light in my eyes is strange It was years ago, God knows When you strained to tell me your whole truth That you were not mine to save That you could not change...

Strange how you know inside me I measure the time and I stand amazed Strange how I know inside you My hand is outstretched toward the damp of the haze And of course I forgive I've seen how you live Like a phoenix you rise from the ashes You pick up the pieces...

Feather moon Scarlet sky Living clouds My blinded eye Waters black Wood in snow Dead of night How bright you glow Breathe in breathe out Exhale and inhale Seven sins God of stone All is true Down to the bone Feather moon Scarlet sky I love you endlessly Not...

Oh girl you think you got time You're gonna get 'round to it way down the line But one step, two step, you fall behind So you better have a good plan Oh girl you think you got time You're gonna get 'round to it way down the line But I'm telling you no matter w...

Hey love Is that the name you're meant to have For me to call Look love They've given up believing They've turned aside our stories of the gentle fall But don't you believe them Don't you drink their poison too These are the scars that words have car...

We're here where the daylight begins The fog on the streetlight slowly thins Water on water's the way The safety of shoreline fading away Sail your sea Meet your storm All I want is to be your harbor The light in me Will guide you home All I want is to be you...

It's desert ice outside but this diner has thawed my ears Hot coffee in a clean white mug and a smile when the waitress hears That I was born in North Carolina Not an hour from her home town And we used to play the same pizza parlor pinball And there's a glan...

Gotta fight gotta strike 'cause there's no turning away From what you don't want to know Gotta see gotta be If they're all going astray Don't let them take you in tow You're a one-man shift in the weather You're the woman who just won't sell Climbing up and r...

In another life You and I worked West Virginia coal mines Side by side Collecting the black dust like sin The day the main shaft caved in I caught your eye As the lantern light guttered out And the afterdamp swallowed us slowly I gripped your hand And caught a...

Sun sets in an ocean of brown farmland haze Power lines draped across roads you could drive on for days Well it's all too perfect Time to look back at us now Endless and empty like Kansas Our cities of clouds Flat on the table like Kansas I lay down in sheet...

she's holding a secret she'll never tell, because the myth is not supposed to retire we'd rather it lit itself on fire, or overdosed in a four star hotel she's holding a truth that she'll never reveal, because truth this time is an ugly child and mother and d...

Little child, be not afraid The rain pounds harsh against the glass Like an unwanted stranger There is no danger I am here tonight Little child Be not afraid Though thunder explodes And lightning flash Illuminates your tearstained face I am here tonight And...

Mission Street is a striking dark-eyed stranger Who speaks a language I don't know but long to learn Its cadences fall endlessly beyond the windowpane As I sit as though awaiting some return And my hands are cold tonight I'm sleepless in this dark Forgetting...

You are the dark ocean bottom And I am the fast sinking anchor Should I fall for you You are the scar on my tissue That I show all of my new friends Should I show you me All we need is a little bit of momentum Breakdown these walls that we've built around our...

Inside the labyrinth walls There lies a tiny child who sleeps alone And as the daylight falls The wind becomes so wild across the stone For I have made her prison be Her every step away from me And this child I would destroy If you tried to set her free So c...

Father says head down We don't want them finding you Mother says practice now All the words you know Oh Arizona's burning They say the fence turned round Now the razor wire keeps us out Mother says with luck We'll sleep under a roof tonight Father says in th...

It's the quiet night that breaks me. I cannot stand the sight of this familiar place. It's the quiet night that breaks me, like a dozen papercuts that only I can trace. All my books are lying useless now. All my maps will only show me how to lose my way. Oh ca...

city fast asleep, clouds up on the hill. so quiet, so still. dreams of rain in sheets, dreams of ice and wings. so delicate, these things. Love, love, love is a word so small. let it fill up, up, up 'til I can't see at all. I want to be blind, only my hands to...

I died in a car crash two days ago Was unrecognizable When they pulled me from the gears No one's fault, no one's bottle No one's teenage pride or throttle Our innocence is all the worse for fears The other walked away alive Arms wrapped now around his...

Sunday: Dark water draining north, the heat Swells and bursts like plague. Sunday: Ever-so-faint slow tambourine Glides onward toward the grave. Who drew the line? Who drew the line between you and me? Who drew the line that everyone sees? Darling, Lake Pon...

It came from nowhere On the 38 Geary A girl with a backpack of shrapnel and wire Through spiderweb windows Of blood stained glass A pagoda's shadow and a cruel sunny sky Oh the flash then the silence Shouldn't there be screaming praying crying Oh anything at a...

It's so beautiful here, she says, This moment now, this moment now. And I never thought I would find her here, Flannel and satin, my four walls transformed. She's looking at me, straight dissenter, No room at all for any other thought. And I know I don't want...

Everyone agrees it came too soon It was only meant to be an interception You kept fear of death in the back pocket of your jeans In the palm of your hand, affection It came like a sudden gust of wind Leaving them bewildered to ask how I recall last time we me...

So far so good You're coming to the bend at the end of the road You put a hand to the belly that's foreign more With every day like an oversize load And you're thinking about clouds the color of fire And the scent of an orange peel The way Mt. Shasta explodes...

You can try to hide away from every drop of rain that's hanging over you. And you can say it's all a waste. Lost your time and space. There's nothing left to lose. Like a broken angel on the ground, like a symphony without a sound. Turn around. [Chorus] Every...

Soon, love, soon Soon, love, soon Soon, love, soon There'll be a fire burning in the temple of our peace (Soon love soon) There'll be the soaring voice for a silent plea (Soon love soon) We will hold a broken circle and begin to pray (Soon love soon) We will...

He was there the night the wall came down. He lost her in the endless crowd, In the shadow of St. Stephen's cross. He sent cries aloft for his fellow man, His fingers slipping from her hand, The rain clouds prowling overhead. She was there the night the wall...

Oh no not now Please not now I just settled into the glass half empty Made myself at home And so why now Please not now I just stopped believing in happy endings Harbors of my own But you had to come along didn't you Take down the doors, throw open w...

It's the season of grace coming out of the void Where a man is saved by a voice in the distance It's the season of possible miracle cures Where hope is currency and death is not the last unknown Where time begins to fade And age is welcome home It's the seaso...

If this were the last snowfall No more halos on evergreen If this were the last glimpse of winter What would these eyes see? If this were the last slow curling Of your fingers in my palm If this were the last I felt you breathing How would I carry on? This i...

The one who survives by making the lives Of others worthwhile She's coming apart Tight before my eyes The one who depends on the services she renders To those who come knocking She's seeing too clearly what she can't be What understanding defies She s...

Wait Don't let the sun go slack Don't go alone into the cold Wait Don't give up on us yet I know that there's more you haven't told Wait, wait, wait my love Just one more thought Wait, wait, wait my love I haven't got time in my life To watch you drift out to...

Nightfall we're brushing past your town Destination not you my one The driver doesn't know way down How deep these bright-eyed feelings run I've no intention of confessing today I need to make distance a while But miles don't make your image fade They don't er...

While you were building your empires I was still sleeping I was still sleeping While you were setting your woods afire I was still dreaming I was still dreaming Now I will unsettle the ground beneath you Send my waters ashore Creep into your bed Find you in e...

he's a company man, your right hand 13 years and counting no detectable ambitions, a model of efficiency, far as you can see he knows every loophole, the art of fine print massaging the numbers 'til they fit and every time you ask him for another vanishing ac...
