Cruel as it sounds
The wind will blow
All of the dust we’d settle for
Fool for the wheel
The tide and the sun
No season comes more than once

House of Tomorrow
02:55
|
|||
|
Your children are not your own
They are sons and daughters of life's longing for itself
Through you they come, but now from you
Though they are with you, to you they don't belong
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts
For they have their own thoughts
You may house their bodies, but not their souls
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow
Your children are not your own
They are sons and daughters of life's longing for itself
Through you they come, but now from you
Though they are with you, to you they don't belong
You may strive to be like them
But don't seek to make them just like you
House their bodies, but not their souls
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts
For they have their own thoughts
You may house their bodies, but not their souls
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow

Now
04:35
|

|
Now the road will bend a little for you
Bend as far as you can take
Now the road will bend a ways without me
Bend and bend until you break
Now the way will loom a little wider
Wide the eyes that watch me die
But the ways beyond the straight and narrow
Loom low down and gallows high
Now the earth might move and shake beneath you
Rock you like a lover's arms
Heaven help the mover and shaker
Who is rocked by worldly charms
How many times must I say this?
How many lines must I write?
One of these words sure has landed
Taken root or flight
Now the sun will rise too fast to follow
Set too soon for your day's rest
But the road will bend a little for you
Bend and bend: it was your request

Insulation
03:10
|
|||
|
I am the well, the root, and womb
I am the cradle and the tomb
I am the insulation
I am the oldest friend of time
I am the endless uphill climb
I am the insulation
I am the shadows on the wall
I am the bottom of the fall
I am the insulation of your soul
If you find yourself in darkness
Test your eyes
Better to be lost and looking for the light
Before it blinds

Spark
02:41
|
|||
|
Am I the one
To take a chance?
Am I the one
Who dreams out loud?
Am I the one
To stay the course that I am on
For all it makes of me?
Am I the one
To sound alarms?
Am I the one
To feed the fire?
Am I the one
Who burns inside for everyone
To feel that something's wrong?
If I'm the one to speak
Let me say it now:
If there's a spark
It's not so far from the flame
If there is one earth, one human race upon it
Then what could be missing?
If I'm the one to speak
Let me say it now:
If there's a spark
We're not so far from the flame
If there is one world, one human race to fill it
Then what could be missing?
If I'm the one
To take the chance
If I'm the one
Who dreams out loud
If I'm the one
To stay the course that I am on
What will you make of me?

Bright Star
03:08
|
|||
|
Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour, hung aloft the night
Bright star watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel forever its soft swell and fall,
Awake forever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

Falling
04:15
|
|||
|
Falling through the basement floor
You only fall so far
Before you learn that everyone should know how to fall
Falling from the mountain top
You only fall so fast
Before you see what everyone should understand:
Falling isn’t flying
But falling is the only way to know
What is up and what is down
High, high, how high we climb...
Falling to your knees might feel like
You have lost your way
Before you learn – like everyone – to stand again and again

Room for Rent
02:46
|
|||
|
It’s only a room for rent
Windows without a door
No deposit
No security
Stay a while in your own company
Pay the price of longevity
May you find much more than time to fill the room

A Stolen Sky
03:19
|
|||
|
Long people blocking the sun
Tall letters, tales on a hill
And the fly-by angels sound
Long life at all of the cost
Big, glass houses built in the sand
And the wide world fades to black
With night comes a stolen sky
The stars fall into the street
There is no afterglow for dreams that fall so far
|

Unbeatable
04:31
|
|||
|
I give you my heart
And take the beating
I open my hand
And lose my hold
I lift up my soul
And fall in darkness
I love you the same
No matter the cost:
All we ever said of love in the time of flying
The beating of wings and odds,
The broken, unbeatable heart
All the blue is black
All the green is gray
All the dreams are dark as they are real
All the light is out
All the silence comes
All is lost but us, everything but us…
And all we ever said of love in the time of flying
The beating of wings and odds,
The broken, unbeatable heart

Nolstice and Equino
03:16
|
|||
|
Will you be coming home?
Will you return to me?
No is the answer now
No is how it must be
Cruel as it sounds
The wind will blow
All of the dust we’d settle for
Fool for the wheel
The tide and the sun
No season comes more than once
