Another year is all but gone
And everything is coming to an end
Time to think of what we’ve done
Of roads that broke and roads that bent
When the leaves were green
We could dream
But when the leaves turned red
We fell onto our heads
Another life is all but spent
Soon each of us will scatter to the wind
Time to think of where we’ve been
Of weary bones and weary skin
When our days were new
We were fools
And when our days grew old
We were born again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again
Another night has all but passed
Soon everyone will sink into the west
Time to think of who we’ll be
In other lands and distant seas
When the sun came up
We went out
But when the sun goes down
We’ll come back around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around

Passing Ships

I used to think of us thirty years ago
Swinging in the playground on a sunny afternoon
I heard you say, Hello, what are you singin’
Teach it to me sometime, so I can sing it too with you
I used to wonder why we were born far apart
Growing up in different towns at different times
I wonder if we’d met thirty years ago
Would I know you, would I call you mine?
I wanted you, I wanted you so bad
Not as we were, but as we could be
It felt so right, the dream of us I had
If it weren’t you, if it wasn’t me
I used to dream of us 20 years ago
Kissing by the lockers or in the bathroom.
I heard you say, Hey, do you believe in
Lovers who were meant to be like I was meant to be with you
I used to wonder why you were wrong after all
Wanting it was not enough to make it right
I wonder if we’d met a thousand years ago
Would you love me in another life?
I wanted you, I wanted you so bad
Not as we were, but as we could be
It felt so right, the dream of us I had
If it weren’t you, if it wasn’t me
I used to hope for us every hour of the day
Sorting out our different lives and finding a way
I wonder if we’ll ever meet again
Or go on as ships that pass in the night
I wanted you, I wanted you so bad
Not as we were, but as we could be
It felt so right, the dream of us I had
If it weren’t you, if it wasn’t me

Earth was old
We were young
Eyes cast upward towards the sun
Stumbling on
Sound and stone
Footprints carving out the mud
Hills grow white with snow
Mountains rise
Til waterfalls throw it all
Down the mountainside
(and) Rivers run into the sea
Smoothing all the jagged edges
Of the stones beneath
And in our time
Stars will close their eyes
But we’ll dream of brighter things
Earth was dark
All was still
The moon pulled secrets from the waves
While dreaming seeds
Danced on the breeze
Weightless til the break of day
From cool lakes, the sun takes
Drop after drop
Til storms call, throw it all
To the mountaintops
(and) Rivers run into the sea
Smoothing all the jagged edges
Of the stones beneath
And in our time
Stars will close their eyes
But we’ll dream of brighter things

787

Happiness finds me when I’m fast asleep
In a 787 going east
Eye of my mind, what is it you see
Oh the apple’s rolling back to its old family
Call me when you’ve got a chance
Call me when you’ve got a chance
Call me when you’ve got a chance
Call me when you’ve got a chance
Did it hurt to pack her boxes and take them to the Yugo
That you drove us to the river in when we were all just kids
Now we’re all grown and I’m busy as a bee
I still see you in the summer to share a cup of tea
Call you when I’ve got a chance
Call you when I’ve got a chance
Call you when I’ve got a chance
Call you when I’ve got a chance
There in the photos you sent me in the fall
Of the laugh lines of the elders and the young ones grown so tall
I am reminded that I’m so far away
From your sunsets and your paychecks and the passing of your days
From the home that taught me to love where I have been
Yes I don’t know who I’d be without you
And I miss you dearly
Call you while I’ve got a chance
Call you while I’ve got a chance
We don’t even have to plan
Call you while I’ve got a chance
Under the harvest moon
We are dancing together
Over the river’s tune
I am a force of nature
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you

Sisters

Hey there sister, here’s how the story goes
Every day I love you more and more
If you lose your dancing shoes, I'll bring ‘em round after the ball
And when you're feeling blue I'll be the glass that makes you tall
In my mind
I’m with you all the time
Sister mine
I’m with you all the time
Hey there sister, here’s how the story ends
Rose and thorn, we grow through thick and thin
When you long for sky you and I will find our way out of the sea
And many years from now they'll tell the tale of you and me
In my mind
I’m with you all the time
Sister mine
I’m with you all the time
When we were kids we’d push and shove and tear each other down
But you always knew me, you know, it means the world to me now
When we were kids we’d huff and puff and blow each other down
But you always knew me, you know, you mean the world to me now
Hey there sister
Hey there sister

Curtain
05:28
|

I need to find my way around
But first I’ll rest for a while
There’s a part of me that’s gone
Footprints lead into the dark
I want to kiss you and punch your arm
I want to pick you apart
You were the lead and I took you down
Now the show must go on
Maybe there’s room for us
Before the curtain falls
And maybe all life ever does
Is open up the faults
I chose you with my heart
And listened when it said to part
I’ve seen it make mistakes too
Ooh, maybe we were meant to be
All the words that we ever spoke
All the lights on your eyes
Run together like water smoke
Did you ever realize
When the heroes run away
It always ends up a mistake
Live to fight another day
Would you keep me if I stayed
Cause maybe there’s room for us
Before the curtain falls
And maybe all life ever does
Is open up the faults
You talked through wooden teeth
Trapdoor waiting underneath
Maybe you had to slip through
Ooh, maybe it was meant for me
Watching our heroes age,
Walking across the stage
You were one out of others, oh they would say
Falling on our feet
Or admitting defeat
All our wins are lost again
They all rest with you
And our little dog too
Maybe God’s got other plans for us
Or maybe there’s room for us
Before the curtain falls
And maybe all life ever does
Is open up the faults
And we’d both take our bows
Playing to the biggest house
You’d be right beside me
Ooh, maybe it was meant to be

Artist's Dream
03:40
|

Oh I thought love was a gift
So I gave and gave away
For you I’d steal the sun
To turn your darkness into day
If the stars were all it took
Would I ever be enough
The one who’d give you everything—
Was just a dream of me
Now only when the forest floor
Opens to the sea below
And only when the silver moon
Frees the tides and time stops too
And only in an artist’s dream
Will I find you waking up with me
Who am I to say what's real?
It’s the way you made me feel
The laughter dies
The waves subside
And just like that you’ve disappeared
Now the sun has lost its shine
And the willows wilt and weep
The one I thought who’d hold my heart
Was just a dream to me
Now only when the forest floor
Opens to the sea below
And only when the silver moon
Frees the tides and time stops too
And only in an artist’s dream
Will I find you waking up with me
Oh, where did you go?
I’m still asleep, and you're out the door
Oh, one day I’ll know
To love and lose and grow
Now only when the forest floor
Opens to the sea below
And only when the silver moon
Frees the tides and time stops too
And only in an artist’s dream
Will I find you waking up with me

For the first time in a long time I'm at a loss for words
It's been a long time since the first time when we met
I couldn't speak, I couldn't hear, I couldn't think
I was younger than I'd ever be
I didn't know how much you'd mean to me
And I couldn't say how much I'd change that day
My tight throat says it's too soon to write or speak
It was too soon for your tightrope to break
I should've called, I should've gone, I should've seen you
All those hours of my life
And all I did was let them pass me by
I couldn't move now I'll always wonder why
A week, a month, a year
And I'll still wish you were here
But I'll take everything you gave to me
And become who you knew I could be
When I go, well I’ll know I never stopped or gave up
And I’ll know when I go that I made the cut
With every day, with every breath, with every step
Your words echoed on my tongue
So I could finish what we’d begun
I couldn't name a single day I didn't live
A week, a month, a year
And I'll still wish you were here
But I'll take everything you gave to me
And become who you knew I could be
A week, a month, a year
And I'll still wish you were here
But I'll take everything you gave to me
And become who you knew I could be

About You
04:14
|

In the autumn years ago, I’d wake up early in the morning, tiptoe down to the living room
We would share a cup of tea, it tasted like earth to me, but I’d do anything to be by you
I’d pretend to work while you were writing to yourself and I’d try very hard to memorize your face
Then you said that I was like a sister to you, so I said, you were like a brother to me too
Words were all I had to get to know you
Words are not enough to talk—to talk about you
In a dream I’ve had a hundred times before, I saw you and I smiled so wide I thought I’d split in two
Now we’re living other lives so far away you might as well be nothing more than shadows in my sleep
Across the years, across the room, across the sea, you were always more than a brother to me
Words were all I had to get to know you
Words are not enough to talk—
Words were all I had to get to know you
Words are not enough to talk—to talk about you
If I had you every day and if you loved me in that way then who’s to say that I’d still feel the same
Love can fade or love can grow or love can change, I’ll never know if all my love for you would stay or go
We were nothing more than a dream to, a dream to me
We were nothing more than a dream to, a dream to me
We were nothing more than a dream to, a dream to me
We were nothing more than a dream to, a dream to me
But I dream about you

Love Song
03:02

Water for my tongue, air for my lungs
A roof overhead, space to make a bed
In this life I don’t need much to make it through
Storm or sunny skies, all I need is you
I need you like a fire needs a spark to start
Like a bird at the start of spring, you woke me from a dream
I need you like a tree needs the ground to grow
Like a flower at winter’s end, I’ll come alive with you again
River, boat, or land, grass or on sand
By oak or by pine, mountains in the sky
Anywhere in this old world will do
Gold or silver fields, as long as I’m with you
I need you like a fire needs a spark to start
Like a bird at the start of spring, you woke me from a dream
I need you like a tree needs the ground to grow
Like a flower at winter’s end, I’ll come alive with you again
I need you like a fire needs a spark to start
Like a bird at the start of spring, you woke me from a dream
I need you like a tree needs the ground to grow
Like a flower at winter’s end, I’ll come alive with you again

Come What May

So you say, these are all dark days
Spun over our lives like a curse
In my eyes, it isn’t all that gray
It could be better, but it could be worse
Summer fades, earth spins ‘round, we all rise to another dawn
Come what may, we’ll stand our ground, we will smile as we go on
Fire and plague, eye of hurricane
All we love and fear we cannot save
Day by day, we will wax and wane
And sing a song for the bold and brave
Autumn fades, earth spins ‘round, we all rise to another dawn
Come what may, we’ll stand our ground, we will smile as we go on
In the end, all our wheels will rust
We’ll exhale, then we’ll turn to dust
Until then, let us laugh and sing
And play our part in everything
Winter fades, earth spins ‘round, we all rise to another dawn
Come what may, we’ll stand our ground, we will smile as we go on
