This town's full of dreams This town's full of ghosts It ain't all like it seems When you've fallen harder than most There's a mountain to climb I hear it's divine If you can get up past the clouds You can find your way down Down off the cape The memories are still burnin' It's easy to escape It gets harder to return Harder to return

Sweet Dreams 04:02
Used to pull me on a cardboard sleigh down front street by old A.C. I had a fox hat and wolverine mittens, and I'd help you with the groceries. You'd make dinner, I'd read a book. Maybe even watch T.V. Make me believe like I understand, but I don't know what it means. When you say sweet dreams. Sweet dreams. If it smells like winter, then I know I am home. I don't want you to shiver. Don't want you to feel alone. I know behind that smile, there's a mind that screams. Make me believe like I understand, but I don't know what it means. And I say sweet dreams. Sweet dreams.

Every stitch every suture sewn together like patchwork Whisper thin and threadbare we throw a little color here and there Bird's eye view of time It's that old time, timely rhythm I'm on my knees and I don't know why I heard you freeze before you die I can hear the dogs and feel the wind There really Ain' nothin' worth savin' Bird's eye view of time It's that old time, timely rhythm

August 02:33
my heart breaks along the banks of the Niukluk River mama's fallen ill but daddy's with her thousands of miles blinded by the sun oh don't you know that I am troubled by the same one - and the river runs naturally low as it could ever be I'm so far away - it's the first night of summer today and my heart attempts to heal on the wheels of Lou-Ella she breaks down nearly every day with so much road beneath her she's got one more trip to go before the snow she wants to fly and so do I - she's got 9 kinds of pain and she don't care for the rain oh so far away - on the first night of summer my love grows fonder with each memory I wander through I know she wants a family the sun is dancing on her eyes and I don't know if she's happy or just wants to cry when I tell I don't know if I am ready - I've go 9 kinds of pain and I'll just admit to one she is so far away - on the first night now the moon is just a sliver hangin high above the river August might just be for writin' songs not rightin' wrongs or makin' dinner - what if this is all I have, maybe all I'll ever be just tell me if I can make it easy - you want me to say the words stop and listen look at me I'm so far away on the first night of summer

when the sea, lies upon, your hazel green, eyes of dawn you've been hurtin' more than you let on and the sky, it's a burden, with clouds so heavy, they won't move they won't thunder, they don't rain and the ground, it shifts so fast your shadow's tall, it won't last it's like they tell ya, it's all in the past you wish it were as it was when you first came to town and then the wind, that low down lonesome sound picks you up and beats you back down but you can't fault the wind, for never stickin' round we're lost between the now and then don't matter where don't matter when it don't matter nothin, long as I got you lift me up lift me out I'd go east and I'd go south I'd go north and I'd go west just to find a little rest we're lost between the now and then don't matter where, don't matter when

Last Star 03:44
Rollin waves of yesteryear I'm a rollin stone, I'm still here The wheel of life, it kicks up dirt You can have my heart, but you can't take the hurt I'm still here, chasin' the last star Outerspace Now there's a thought It might be better, if we don't talk You roll the dice, down a one way street Love is kind, it's not a disease I'm still here, chasin' the last star
7.
you for the fire you for the flame your hand in my hand my hand in yours oh how these moments drift us apart with every wanton escape with every longing ache and desire and every move that you make for the flame every flower never to fade follows each footstep in bloom with every stride along the skyway see all the work that you do for the flame you for the fire you for the flame your hand in my hand my hand in yours
