Back Into Me
03:32
|

You made me whole made me weak
left for dead go back to sleep its over now
In the morning sweep the pieces in a pile
and begin the sorting out
Curse the cut curse the smile cut the flowers
Count the hours that are lost for good
Sift a river under beds follow threads
through the dark back to the spool
I know that eventually
You're gonna find your way
Back into me
Hard to be yourself when you feel that
the mirror's always looking back
Sever tethers lose the self in
the white noise but keep a tiny core intact
You made me whole made me weak
left for dead go back to sleep its over now
In the morning sweep the pieces in a pile
and begin the sorting out
I know that eventually
You're gonna find your way
Back into me
When the sun falls over
When the moon falls over
When the stars fall in the sea

Older Together

Hold me over the fire
So I can feel the truth of the light
Make me stay out late, drinking
So I can feel the truth of the night
We're getting old, getting older, together
We're getting old, getting older, together
Write our names in cement
When the city fixes the driveway
What could be more human than vanity marks
Willing someone to remember
We're getting old, getting older, together
We're getting old, getting older, together
Baby it's cold outside, baby it's cold outside
and I want to go home, take me home
Argue over shades of blue
It means everything and nothing at all
Missing your voice tonight
Listen for the phantom call
We're getting old, getting older, together
We're getting old, getting older, together
We're getting old, getting older, together

Rosa
Sister of mine
How high you fly your kite
Past lives
Known for what they were
Helpless and absurd
Oh didn't we dream
Rosa
Dreamed of resurrection
Failed to find protection from an
awful scene
The moon will lay you bare
and the crows will pick you clean
In the Ural Mountains
Young lovers living in their dreams
Poppies bloom in the valley
Bliss hazy in the love love love
Young lovers filling up their cup
The Ural Mountain valley in bloom

Million Little Wheels
03:05
|

Waiting in an empty well
For the water's rising
How do the rain clouds swell
Outside myself a million little wheels
Keep themselves a-turning
Return to you in my new form
Inside your walls a part of me reborn
It's all right to live without an answer
It's all right to live without an answer
There's plenty of light to go around
Inside myself a million little wheels
Always keep me guessing
Which of me shines true in the new born day
Inside these walls which part of me must stay
Hidden from view the sleeper awaits
Carefully cautiously planning the escape
It's all right to live without an answer
It's all right to live without an answer
There's plenty of light to go around
