Record Tracklist

  1. Girl
  2. Rope Bridge Crossing
    Rope Bridge Crossing

    and I remember everything
    sunrise on a blue horizon
    you, your hand in mine
    I remember the things you said –

    I’ll be your lady, wait through it all
    be there to catch you, after the fall
    run through the red light, out of my head
    run from the darkness into the day

    and I dream of running,
    and in the dream I myself can run
    and I feel the ground beneath my feet
    and I move like music
    you move me like music

    head out on my way
    head out to red light
    Hold on, the dream says
    head out on my life
    you said, I’ll be there

    now I’m treading very carefully
    and I hope that I don’t scream
    and I hope that I don’t fall
    off your bridge crossing over
    sunny mountain swollen river
    fall

    you said, I’ll be there
    through it all

  3. City of No Sun
    City of No Sun

    love me tenderly my darling
    in this city of light and truth
    for this moment forever sing
    for my darling that I love you

    city of no sun
    and no peace in my heart
    you left me nothing
    you left me broken
    once sad, once grieved
    you once said you loved me

    outside the fields in sunlight
    the singing breeze and silence

    lover, release me
    I can’t move, I can’t breathe
    no heart, no peace
    no more, nothing
    long day, long night
    too long, love lies

  4. That was My Veil
    That was My Veil

    It starts at daylight, I see him
    before my sad eyes, I hear him breathing
    Oh lover, I need you to lead me
    I never thought that you’d leave

    That was my veil
    That was my time
    Once held sacred
    But now lies

    No words can heal my heart
    Inside I’m broken, it’s done
    Was she a pretty girl? Did she have pretty hair?
    Was she soft-spoken? Was there our love there?

    That was my veil
    That was my time
    Once held sacred
    But now lies

  5. Urn with Dead Flowers in a Drained Pool
    Urn with Dead Flowers in a Drained Pool

    I need
    your light
    darling
    love lies

    and if you gave it to me
    I’d hold it in the palm of my hand
    like a good luck charm or a vice

    and I’d reach up like a child to receive it –

    and there’s no more sad
    there’s no more rain
    I’ve got sun on my back
    and I’m in love again

    take me
    inside
    your warm
    love lie

    and if he took me
    I’d hold him up to the light
    like a god or a good luck charm or a vice

    and I’d open up like a child to believe it –

    there’s no more sad
    there’s no more rain
    I’ve got sun on my back
    and I’m in love again

    but still you can’t give your peace to me

  6. Civil War Correspondent
    Civil War Correspondent

    Words leave my heart dry
    Words can’t save life
    Love has no place here
    No joy, no tears

    Darling, time’s changed
    Time leaves, time fades
    Please see through my eyes
    Save your tears for the next who dies

    I shout but he don’t hear
    I put down on the page
    Darling spare me your tears
    Just send me light of day

    I can feel his heart
    Wired heart
    Like gunfire

  7. Taut
  8. Un Cercle Autour du Soleil
    Un Cercle Autour du Soleil

    she lay
    breathing
    sunshine
    beating
    time here
    lingers
    trace with
    my fingers

    a circle around the sun

    no more
    laughter
    since the
    black’s come
    but head down
    get high
    up there’s
    blue sky

    a circle around the sun
