The Paper Kites

We fell this time
With a dying grace
Though we're malleable beings
Not enough it seems
And don't lay tired
Knew we both would break
Though we're malle...

Waiting down at the station
I don't remember
I think it was late then
Standing always so quiet
We're like elevators
Filled up with strangers
No sound ...

Well there's a stranger that I keep in my room
And it poses a question of the things that I don't want to do
But there's a hole at work asleep in the ...

Trying so hard to keep what we're losing
Using our feet to show them the movements
And they wake up, and they go out
Head in a cloud
We were like them...

You fall through the trees
And you pray with your knees on the ground
For the things that you need
With your lust and your greed weighing down
And you...

Run, Run, Don't trail behind keep moving
All the scrapes on our knees
Will tell you where we've been, where we have bled.
Oh we play,
in autumn days
W...

We were trying, but we're trying no more
It's cold on the floor, cold on the floor
This house has never been the same as before
It's never felt warm, ...

I want to get back to you baby
 I want to get back to those times
 When we used to go downtown and just
 And we'd burn until the flame turned blue
 So...

Soft and low
Shallow and slow
Is my heart still mourning?
Where the wind goes
Have a mind so soothing
But when I take no more
And be the ground
Mercy ...

Later on
When all the streets have settled
I call your line
But all I hear is rings and rhymes
I know where you are
Dog eared books in the corner
List...

We were trying but we're trying no more
It's cold on the floor, cold on the floor
This house has never been the same as before
It's never felt warm, n...

What can I give that is all of me
What can I give that is all for you
These arms are all I have
But I hold you like I do love you
But I hold you like ...

Black and thunder
 All of my days
 Lord only knows
 How to keep it at bay
 And I'm a man of shadow
 Man of the light
 But darkness it comes
 When I'm ...

Sweet daisy chain
Around your neck
Through your hair
In the sun
Sweet glowing skin
Kiss the grass
Golden air fill your lungs
Slow down, let it all slo...

I don't always work like I think I should
At the end of the day
I don't always wake up with the
Right words to say but
If I can make you feel somethin...

Half of this city turning their lights on
Like half of this city has an idea
Cars slowly passing right down on main street
Don't keep on driving, let ...

Well, it's how I see you
When I see you from below
And I feel no other
Sights or sounds of things I know
Only your glow,
Only your glow
So converse me...

In the morning when I wake
And the sun is coming through,
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
And you fill my head with you.
Shall I write it in a l...

I can dance I can shake
 I can move and I can break
 Like a fire in the soul
 I can burn I can grow
 I can come I can go
 I can rock and I can roll

Got to need a better place burn street on the fresh
She don't wanna have a name so workings
They have bad shoe shiny
Every time they ask what she got ...

Halcyon - The Paper Kites
You're free

A lover sinking in the sea

And we

Will let the water fill our lungs

And sleep

Love, we go down, we go down

Sweet December's coming 'round
You're the truest thing in this town
And I want you now
Shadows from the streetlight shades
Watching every word you say...

Where all dreams we make
There's a place we once knew
Something old, something true
Going back that way
Now the days go so fast
Give me time, give me ...

You were young
But your eyes were younger still when you found me there
And you rode down the street to watch me work
Building tables and chairs
You w...

I've been dreaming about you
For a long time in my mind
And I've been seeing your face
In the light on the hill
And I can't help thinking
It's been a ...

Does it ever cross your mind?
When it's summer in July
When it's quiet
And you find a little time
Does it ever cross your mind?

Are you so much older...

You ask me, and I'll tell
Never walked such a desolate hell
But my holding is still strong
And I know that I done you so wrong
When you go away, you'r...
