I know change is a bad thing,
Breaks me down into a sorry sad thing
Not some iridescent grateful butterfly.
I'll resist with defiance,
Not the valor o...

Tell me what you see, is it close to what you dreamed?
If I play a part can I be redeemed?
We pore through the passages from leather volumed shelves,

I knew a guy, I thought he was my first love,
But he had to decide between me and the one before,
And she stacked it all up, like a house of cards,
Sa...

Sitting with the number eight platter at the restaurant,
Four twenty-nine for almost anything I want,
Add it up, it's cheaper than the stuff I make my...

I went and found a house in the northern woods
And I was doing fine until the night
But then I couldn't take the sun in Los Angeles
Everything was bla...

Rambling and rambling, rambling and rambling



It's the woods! What do you see?
Is there a windy path, angry ass woman who will eat you?
Sad-eyed lum...

When the robin builds in the holly tree,
It's a sign of life, it's gentle victory.
Well, today as I set to go,
I saw a nest in a tree hollow.

Oh Emil...

From the ship, we could see it in the distance
As the fog was finally lifting
We had come to the shores of Summerday
Gently landing, we jumped out on ...

Oh my fair North Star
I have held to your dearly
I have asked you to steer me
To one cloud scattered night
I got lost in my travels
I met Leo the Lion...

I asked the habitual partygoer
Just how high she thought she'd get,
And I asked the ethereal girls
If they were floating yet
And so I asked the light ...

And you know the light is fading all too soon
You're just two umbrellas one late afternoon
You don't know the next thing you will say
This is your fav...

Time it was
I had a dream
You're the dream come true
If I had the world to give
I'd give it all to you.
I'll take you to the mountains
I will take you...

You can leave this house, leave this town.
Leave it all to me, or you'll never leave the ground.
Look at that tiny screen's too small for you.
I think...

Let's go fishing in the morning
Just like we've always gone
You can come inside and wake me up
We'll pack and leave by dawn,
We will pack and leave by...

If you find me in a gloom, or catch me in a dream
Here inside my lonely room,
There is no in between.
If only one star shines
It's just enough to get ...

Button up that shirt you're s'posed to wear, don't forget your airline ticket or to brush your hair, show that family that you care.
Could you wear so...

happy ending,
everything I ever wanted,
stands in front of me.
I have lost my dreams.
I have lost my dreams.

Well, there are kids, lots of kids
Who put the law inside a circle
As they jump,
When did you  cave in to  this role that you were cast in
When did dr...

Well the mountain was so beautiful
That this guy built a mall and a pizza shack
Yeah he built an ugly city because
He wanted the mountain to love him ...

The moon wanted more of my night
I turned off the engine and the headlights
The trees appeared as they'd never been gone
I promised the fields
I'd ret...

Yeah, there was a time
I didn't like the love,
I liked the climbers
I was no sister then,
I was running out of time and one liners
And I was afraid li...

here's  wishing  you  the  bluest  sky,
and  the  very  best  of  choruses  to

In my life on Earth,

The things I have invented have invented me.

I've found my industry.

And I am not alone,

I've fashioned friends from precious...

Well you make my coffee and
It's only 3 A.M.
But soon I'm going far away.

And my time is almost up,
I hold my coffee cup,
We sit with nothing left to...

I didn't like the love,
I liked the climbers
I was no sister then,
I was running out of time and one liners

Go ahead, push your luck
Find out how much love the world can hold
Once upon a time I had control
And reined my soul in tight
Well the whole truth
Is ...

How did we lose this great right
Everything burns in our past
The balance we broke
Left us running through smoke
You're at the blue light of the flame...

It all becomes clear as the tide falls away.

It's a cold, cold time.
It's a cold, cold time,
And it makes me wonder
If I'll ever forget
How cold I
How cold I and the world can be.

Rain falls hard
Burns dry
A dream
Or a song
That hits you so hard
Filling you up
And suddenly gone

Breathe Feel Love
Give Free
