stumble on out
03:19

i stumble on out
through tremolo fields
a navy blue night above
your hands almost real
and i get so high
counting the satellites go by
one, two, three, four, five, six
i think of you
such a concentrated wish
i once heard the drum
deep in your chest
pulsating blood below
our hands pressed
and we held each other so close
counting down til the sun rose
six, five, four, three, two, one
i’ll always feel
the beating of your drum

out of the corner
of my eye
i saw you there
but when i turned
you quickly
disappeared
i thought maybe
you had something
to reveal
but in this state
i don’t know what’s
real
i’m listening now
i am listening now
still as can be
on good friday
make a wish
at 3pm
this is the gift
this was the gift
here i am
i’m listening now
i am listening now
still as can be

chiloé
03:57
|
|||
|
i found myself in chiloé
an island so far away
stumbling over all my words
translating everything i heard
there’s light at the edge of the clouds
all i can do is sing out loud
¿cómo se dice? ¿cómo se dice?
¿cómo se dice? this scene will never fade
follow your roads to the sea
i’ll visit you if you’ll visit me
five thousand miles away
it’s been nearly two decades
all the churches and coastline
i see you in my sleep from time to time
there’s light at the edge of the clouds
sometimes i sing out loud
and i say ¿cómo se dice? ¿cómo se dice?
¿cómo se dice? this place will never fade
follow your roads to the sea
i’ll visit you if you’ll visit me

reach through the wall
03:23
|
|||
|
i reach through the wall
to touch your skin
with eyes closed
we’re together again
oh my darling
wildflowers grow
on both sides
all the tears
that we’ve cried
oh my darling
oh anthony
when the wall comes down
can you help find
all this lost time
late at night
i swear i hear you breathe
and i sing to you
so softly
oh my darling
there once was a bird
that flew anywhere
and made a home
everywhere
oh my darling

if you're listening
03:42
|
|||
|
the bus pulled into the station
just past midnight
nowhere to go but the city square
and we lay down on the cement
and you told me you can’t go home
can’t go home again
friend if you’re listening
and friend if you’re listening
listen to yourself
you got away
despite what your family had to say
and your questions
don’t need answers anymore
in the morning light
we watched the dust rise
as the city work up
and i believe
gravity
well never keep you
friend if you’re listening
and friend if you’re listening
listen to yourself
you got away
despite what your family had to say
and your questions
don’t need answers anymore
friend if you’re listening
and friend if you’re listening
listen to yourself

moonlight song
03:24
|
|||
|
layer upon layer upon layer of sound
this night a cacophony
above it all as i search
your voice beckons me
layer upon layer upon layer of leaves
blanket the street
and from your porch you look up
our eyes meet
whip-poor-will
moonlight song
oh stranger
where do i belong?
layer upon layer upon layer of time
before you disappeared
you said look not out but deeper in
to the flame burning there
whip-poor-will
moonlight song
a slow burn
growing strong

even now
05:06
|
|||
|
with me even now
barefoot on dry grass
with me even now
questions not asked
with me even now
one year passed
old man’s creek
dry as a bone
prayers for rain
take me home
with me even now
walk the block of parnell
with me even now
stories no one tells
with me even now
pennies no wishing well
old man’s creek
dry as a bone
prayers for rain
take me
old man’s creek
dry as a bone
prayers for rain
take me home

oh rose
04:35
|
|||
|
she lights her cigarette
from the gas stove
long drags while staring out
the kitchen window
off in the distance
the train whistle blows
the same train that carried
her boy to war years ago
oh rose
some nights she lies awake
in her bed
recites psalms slowly
in her head
someday maybe the door
will open
and her boy will walk in
walk in again
oh rose
she falls asleep wrapped in
her boy’s blanket
and from her fingers falls
her lit cigarette
oh rose

soon very soon

threading the stars above your head
a crown of light take me home you said
soon very soon
running the hills both night and day
saying the the prayers you taught me to say
soon very soon
it’s alright
i’ll be fine
just take your time
keeping vigil in this little room
breathing the same air as you
soon very soon
placing the blanket over your shoulder
reaching out for mamie to hold you
soon very soon
it’s alright
i’ll be fine
just take your time

in a house
that is not a house
there’s a field
that is not a field
where a boy
who is not a boy
runs free
the gap between two neurons
the gap between right and wrong
in a town
that is not a town
there’s a church
that is not a church
where a girl
who is not a girl
sings free
the gap between two neurons
the gap between right and wrong
