Brighter Blue

Lay me down, lay me on down
The day was a hunt and my mind is a hound
Wake me anew, wake me anew
When the sky turns brighter blue.
Take my words, take all my words
Until my skull's just sky and earth
Tell me lies and sweet lullabies
That turn these eyes brighter blue.
Lay me down, lay me on down
Till I learn this bird just by her sound
Wake me anew, wake me anew
When the sky turns brighter blue
Make my home in the unknown
Far away from this nagging drone
Tell me lies and sweet lullabies
That turn these eyes brighter blue.

I need a bite to eat and a hand to hold
Mama told me that the sun was made of gold.
When I flew into the sun my earth grew cold
It was someone else's story to be told.
I live above the clouds and I don't know
Ask me what's above the clouds, I don't know.
But there's so much going on around me
Down where They surround me
And if I had any advice to give
It would be a reason to live.
I am a sight to see and I should never grow old
They won't refund a soul once it's sold.
I live a quiet life, but I cry when the sun goes down
I'll meet the love that's owed me underground.
There's a voice in the trees that you won't hear
You ask of what it speaks, I don't know.
But there's so much going on around me
Down where They surround me
And if I had any advice to give
It would be a reason to live.

Master Distiller
04:08

I wanna tell you something new
Something new that you've never heard.
I wanna make it sound so old
Sound so old, it's primordial.
What can I say to the hurt in your eyes
When you laugh, and the joy when you cry.
When I go searching for the words
Never quite sure just what I heard
Chessboards of shifting textures
Lush forests inside of deserts
The darkest days, and brightest nights
Stars in the ocean, starfish in the sky.
Just wanna tell you it's okay
In a new way, everyday
First need to slightly screw up my mind
With all that I find, before I unwind.
Before I unwind...

No Tender Time
04:30

No tender time
No tender time in the pines tonight
She brought a tribe and twine to the pines tonight.
And she used their hair to light the dark
And she drew a bulb from my heart.
And we danced, and we drank
And we danced, and they sang.
No tender time
Our big flame was a very untender time
Our big flame was a color out of space and time.
And she saw in me a delicacy
And she drew my hands, and bound my feet
And we danced, and they sang
And we danced, through the pain.
All was crumbling down and I was dancing
Beneath the crying stars I was dancing
World was on fire and I was dancing
They laughed and they sang while I kept dancing
Feet were on fire and I kept dancing;

High Horse
03:29
|
|||
|
I was ridin' through the desert
On a horse too short
Searching every horizon
To find my high horse.
Met a rough stableman
To sell me a stallion
Said with this here saddle
Never come down off your high horse
Never, never come down
Everything's allowed
You'll feel so proud.
Heaven is here on the ground
Soft as a cloud
Hear the silence in the crowd.
Fortune lies, just beyond the horizon
No ride your high horse.

Ravensong

The days are long, the days are long
Until the days are long long gone.
The nights are sweet, the nights are sweet
Until the night is all we see.

Miles' Up
03:36
|

See the city, dream the builders, build it high
Leave room for nature, and all her symbols, trust your eyes.
There is a peace in you and all you see
The darkest valley is only cloudy for a while.
Be a heathen, be a human, be on time
Be a cynic, be a-liever, be a lie.
But don't love anything ironically
Rub your toesies across the grasses, close your eyes.
Sometimes laughter feels like fire, breathe it free
Don't mistake being awake as an end to dreams
There is a peace in you that speaks to me
Remember nothing can lead to something, and nothing is free.

Heart Beat
03:50
|
|||
|
And a great weight has been lifted
No more chomping at the bit
Now that I cut the line on you.
I cut the light on, felt your sad retreat
Idoled my mind up, heard your heart beat
Heart Beat.
And I can see honey colored air
Purple mountain majesties
Now that I cut the line on you.
I drank the light from many golden cups
And felt the white heat that made my heart beat
Heart Beat.
