Morning Dress

What luck I thought I stumbled on
Drinking in your siren song
Then it all seemed sweet
But there was something underneath
That I fell through
September then I caught your drift
Your tone was just the morning brisk
I could never wait
For the cold to hide away
I'll be gone, too.
Holding up my head
Looking for the rest
Of the story's end
Where it starts again
Holding down my own
Looking for my home
I'll be there soon.
Kept my trust in your hotel
You opened up the doors yourself
Then it all broke down
And one by one they're filing out
I'm leaving, too
Remember how I once confessed
To falling for your morning dress?
Oh I cannot say
How it ever slipped away
So long, so soon.
Holding up my head
Looking for the rest
Of the story's end
Where it starts again
Holding down my own
Looking for my home
I'll be there soon.

Runnin'

I've been runnin', runnin' farther than you know
To where the roughest winds think twice before they blow
I've been runnin, runnin' longer than you know
One day I'll quit runnin' on my own
I've been singin', singin old songs in the night
To fend off the ghosts that spread their loneliness and spite
I'll keep singin' till the morning sun'll rise
One day I will play a brand new tune
Love, share with me your kindness, fineness
Love, are you feeling frightened, enlightened, invited?
I've been hopin', hopin I won't hear you say
That you knew all along what I've been up to anyway
No I was prayin' I would never hear you say
That you know me better than I do
And I've been thinkin', wonderin' how I'll ever grow
Into someone I'd look up to when I'm old
I've been thinkin, wonderin' how I'll ever change
Into someone I would want to be
Love, share with me rightness, likeness
Love, are you just an island, a silent horizon?
I've been runnin', runnin farther than you know
To where the fires of hell feel threatened by the snow
I've been runnin' someplace I don't want to go
And now I think it's time to turn around
Now I think it's time to turn around.

Not From Me
02:15

Don't you come looking here for answers
For why the river's flowing backwards
Or why the sky's been turning green
And don't you come asking me for reasons
To go off chasing all your demons
You don't need one, not from me
Not from me
Not from me
Not from me
Don't you be frightened by the loud sound
Of timber snapping in the storm cloud
Or lightning dancing in the rain
And don't you come seeking out some wisdom
For why the thunder's got its rhythm
You won't get it, not from me
Not from me
Not from me
Not from me.

Silhouette

Just your lovely silhouette
I couldn't tell ya
How long you've been on my mind
It could be a while
I thought I heard you laugh
When you said,
"Are we moving on?"
I guess, I guess, I guess.
The patience I have left
For looking at my past
Is enough.
All this time and still I need
Another minute
I've been trying to retrieve
A blurry moment
I thought I saw you blush
When you asked,
"Is this good enough?"
I guess, I guess, I guess.
The sureness that I lack
Is slowly coming back
It's enough.
Just your lovely silhouette (In my head, in my head)
I couldn't tell ya (on my mind)
How long you've been on my mind (All this time, all this time)
It could be a while
I thought I heard you laugh
When you said,
"Are we moving up?"
I guess, I guess, I guess.
Until I find my path
The circle that I have
Is enough.
