Go Gently
03:50
|

when the stars above refuse to shine
when this love shall leave this heart of mine
when all the streams shall run blood red
and all the trees and flowers are dead
I'll go gently
lover while you leave me
when all the seas have dried up like the shore
time for you and me shall be no more
until that day or that good night
I'll rage the dying of the light
then I'll go gently
lover while you leave me
then when heaven and earth shall be reborn
the stone has rolled away the veil is torn
and all the souls begin to rise
and shine like diamonds in the sky
I'll weep gently
lover while you greet me
but I won't go gently
lover while you leave me

What Comes Next
03:49
|
|||
life such a fragile thing
like the first buds of spring
that flourish forth in glorious bloom
but winter's coming soon
tonight I'll give my heart to you
like it could be our last
time under the harvest moon
and welcome what comes next
death such eternal rest
and we tirelessly run from it
yet at the end it will catch
up to claim what's left
tonight under the harvest moon
we'll welcome what comes next

Oh Sarah
05:25
|

she's got dreams to spare
in the high beams of her stare
she caught me unawares
pulling lifetimes from the air
oh sarah, how does this one end?
from the edges of her mind
crystalized in time
shadows spring to life
to dance in the twilight
oh sarah, how does this one end?
never met a girl who believed like this
never knew a soul living on the edge
never heard a sound pounding in my chest before
oh sarah
never had a dream 'til I followed it
found I was asleep in the life I lived
awakening in me is the seed you planted there
oh sarah
I put my dreams away
shelved for another day
a life complete to waste
and watch my reflection age
oh sarah, now's the reckoning

Home
04:21
|
|||
you walk the road less traveled
boots against the gravel
crunching through
the ease in which you travel
really doesn't matter much to you
a life that's full of yearning
a pilgrim with a burden
shouldering proof
but home
you never turned back on home
no matter what your direction was
home
if ever you walk alone
you walk along with us
the fear of settling down
in every other town
was like death to you
so all roads lead to roaming
the last light of the gloaming
passing through
this time we'll set our sights
drive on through the night
in search of truth
this house is not our home
come rest your weary bones with me
like current through the wire
smoke to the fire
we're flowing
the rhythm of the ocean
a perpetual motion machine
but home
you never turned back on home
no matter what your direction was
home
if ever you walk alone
you walk along with us
with us
