Sweep the leaves, and cut the air
Find a secret hanging there
You are hiding at the top of the stairs
Where you can be alone

Drawing roads into the sand
Falling deep into your hands
Barely grown enough to stand
And looking up at you

And you look so good
And you look so clean
I am on my way
Hey Hey
I am in between
Feeling
Feeling

We are oh so lightly here
Softer than a rabbit ear
Watch me as I disappear
Into the great unknown

And you look so good
And you are so clean
I am on my way
Hey Hey
I am barely breathing
Into the feeling
Into the feeling

Oh the moment that I laid her down
I had never been so proud
Broken bottles and tear dust on the ground
And I thought
You are in me now
You are in me now

The cat sits in the shade
And I am not afraid of love

The cat sits in the shade
And I am not afraid

She drinks my blood
And I wear her crown
The clothes, the rings, the everything
Undo myself with every string
Don’t push it now I’m choking

The minute you are gone
I lose where I belong

Don’t push me over
I’m half your size
A four leaf clover
The lucky type

A contradiction:
‘Act naturally’
Open the window
See what I see

I’m way above
The atmosphere
And I stare at cracks
Till they appear
So pink i’m green
So black I’m blue
So left I’m right
So into you, so into you

You’re raining heavy
I’m almost dry
I’m only learning
To love you right

I’m way above
The atmosphere
I stare at cracks
Till they appear
So pink I’m green
So black I’m blue
So left I’m right
So into you

I stare at cracks
They disappear
I’m way above
The atmosphere
So pink I’m green
So black I’m blue
So left I’m right
So into you

No sudden changes
No sudden moves
Nothing stays in place as 
The tide pulls the moon 

Outside is turning
I am standing still
Like a dog whose chin is resting 
Upon your windowsill 

I am the dust in the breeze
I am the tugging at your sleeve

So, what’s the story?
And where is the scene
I am figurative speaking 
To tell you what I mean

And where is the dreaming?
Where’s that beating heart?
You said the touch was painful,
And called it a work of art

I am the dust in the breeze
I am the tugging at your sleeve
I am begging to be seen
I am begging to believe 

I am the dust in the breeze
I am the tugging at your sleeve
I am the begging to be seen
I am begging to believe

Let me lie here
Let me play
Let me run around

I’ve been waiting
All of my life
Just to grow down

Throw my head back
Think of nothing
Watch the day go through a day

I am restless
And reaching
Horses to the hay

My fingertips are black
From making up rhymes

My fingertips are black
From making up rhymes 

Dress me up nice
Brush my hair 
Turn me into a dream

Put all the lights on
Turn every mirror 
I have to be seen
And the night grows tired without you

Lift me to the glass
I’ll wait till you come back

Lift me to the glass
I’ll wait till you come back

Lift me to the glass
I’ll wait till you come back

There’s nothing below us anymore
A carpet of clouds, and the sky’s the floor
I’ve seen faces love and lose it all
A gambling train, it’s criminal 

Our love is like a rose
It blooms and then it goes
A pocketful of gold
An eyelash on the nose

I could’ve loved you 
But the day’s already gone
I could’ve held you
But the sun’s already shone 
I could’ve kept you
Would you stay longer than a leap year,
If I fall asleep here? 

I carve the time away in my ivory hall
I sing my songs, and I climb the walls 
The clock is ticking murder at me now 
A solitude, insufferable

Our love is like an ache
It keeps you lying awake 
Four times around the sun 
I’d walk a mile to run 

I could’ve loved you
But the day’s already past
I could’ve seen you shine
But the moon just didn’t last
I could’ve held you
Would you stay longer than a leap year,
If I fall asleep here?

My love was never for sale
Lay down its head and hang the veil
So sick, so heavy, so cheap
The well I’m in is getting deep 

Telescope I’m looking through
I should point it back at you 
No I didn’t ask you to 
No I never asked you 

Curled into a silver spoon
You read me some of goodnight moon
Breathing like a soft balloon 
And I’ll see you in the morning

You hurt me though you didn’t know
Just how far and wide our love can grow
Question everything you know
The rain is ever-pouring 

Took me in and left so soon
I’m jagged like a dogtooth
We lie and then we tell the truth 
And there is no better warning 
There is no better warning
There is no better warning 
There is no better warning 

Close your eyelids
Kiss them soft
And keep the world there
Let them watch 

You are like heaven
When it’s late 
The sun goes down the west side
And I see lace upon the pearly gates 

The stars are all exploding 
The moon is on its side 
The waves have finished washing
And sweeping up the tide 

You feel like new bird,
A treasure chest 
No place for a bluebird 
In your nest 
But I’ll take all the rest 

The stars are all exploding 
The moon is on its side 
The waves have finished washing
And sweeping up the tide 

The pavement’s wet
My feet are cold
You’re reaching for my hand to hold
Watching silver turn to gold

And I’ll love you til I’m grey and old 
The bar is closing 
We shuffle off to bed 
The devil and his angel 
Composing in my head 

You and I both know
The way the wind blows
The way the stream goes
And it goes 

You and I both speak
Different language 
They can’t hear us 
They can’t hear 

You and I both feel
With our fingers
Understanding 
Understand

You and I survive
In the ether 
They can’t reach us
They can’t reach

Your mother was a weathered shore 
She gathered all one ocean could 
I see you give 
And take it all 
Sailing by as driftwood 
But you couldn’t cry in childhood 

You and I both live
On a feather 
You can’t catch her 
You can’t catch 

You and I are scared
Of the future 
But we don’t know her
And we don’t know 

I talk to trees
Cause they are staring at me
All the time
All the time

I send my message
Down the telephone line

I’m deep inside
The belly of the whale
Cut me out
Cut me out

Give me two tickets
For the end of the earth
It’s sold out
It’s sold out

So I swing
So I swing
And I sing
And I sing

I talk to trees
Cause they are staring at me
All the time
All the time
