I don't want to know, if you really believe, I'll dance on your bone, sink while you pray, consoled by your money, keep the house anyway, when you're all alone, will you think of the sea, no one hears you groan, or listens when you say, you’ve poured out your soul, along our highway, what you really own, is a taste bittersweet, for bricks and loans, you ask why I’m late, to comfort your greed, who are you to blaze, it’s only wood and stone, if it’s that easy, I need to get going, wear widow's weeds.

Love blows warm at night, howls in ancient places, waits for light to slide, when promises are broken, spirits name their own names, call out to ancient stones, it will be all right, is all you need to say, just give me time, beyond this war zone, we can sacrifice fame, to others we both know, laugh in gentler climes, it’s to no one’s shame, part of me is dying, a flame burning low, who can you blame, rivers rise on their own, don't turn silent, we'll find home again, return us on the tide, treasure every day.

If you would only redeem, what lights my smile, no more deceit, wolves howl at the moon, phrases used as a child, some cloak an open wound, words thrown to the sea, lost without signs, make everyone believe, what aches for truth, a power beyond my sight, brings better news, no more a bitter feed, always taking flight, in whispered needs, mother's ruin, is supposed to align, all our virtues, before you came for me, they told me it’s right, that love travels eternally, before my eyes.

A smile on his face, he says he’ll carry on, can’t turn away, a horizon once bright, he navigates over bones, feels it's right, maybe take a train, like a lover that's gone, it came once his way, the picture's not kind, could cry but he won't, no place to make light, why thoughts work this way, he’ll never understand, here on the pave, within a city's sight, hardly a sound, under a summer sky, bets he could make, tied to the stove, there’s nothing to gain, by going home.

Some things you can't rule, in the gentle rain, don't know what to do, scrubbed by fire, I hear myself say, it's only my desire, want to hear good news, sail down the freeway, untroubled by the Blues, like birds on a wire, we find hard to ascertain, who's the biggest liar, she boils me in a stew, in clearings makes me taste, old and bitter fruit, she won't ask me why, I live without brains, lost in the sky, it doesn’t take a fool, to move the earth again, find out what you lose, when she walks away.

We drink for company, God knows you're right, this place needs some sympathy, the front of house crew, out of sight, only come awake at noon, just leave us in peace, fear grips our sight, cooking guides our being, knives as sharp as new, we'll make each day bright, have no truck with fools, she says how easy, it is to grill the sky, nothing stands her scrutiny, we're so happy and cool, in the morning light, everything we say and do, she can smell the sea, a message from on high, not as bad as me, we don't do lies.

Parade all the while, while you’re on bail, ride the lonely miles, in your bones, you’re not here to stay, alone, you left him to die, on your holy grail, said you didn’t have time, can you atone, when love always fails, shame stacks like a farrago, flip a coin to the sky, talk of hoisting sail, no worries about style, drink wine from a Jeroboam, covet some desolate mail, throw stones at his ghost, what is it to cry, that finds you this way, you're not going to lie, it’s worse than jail.
