The Knife

She carries me over

She carries me over

To bury the speech deep inside of me

Drains the sound from my mouth

Long is the pain of departure

Strong is the pining of night

When the promise of a moment is turning

Is turning me to the Knife

The Knife

The Knife

Loneliness, loneliness

When we turn our bodies over

To face the depths of desire

Desire

Desire

Desire

The Preselis’

The blue stones, they grow over me

Carved into mountains, the blood of need

The darkness is parted inside dreams

Immortal silhouettes, burnt beneath

Lay the body down

Lay the body down

Talk freely, walk with me.

With their hands, my body does rise

A gift, a gift, a gift of sky

Why should I obey

Resurrection, reclamation, decay

Lay the body down

Lay the body down

Talk freely, walk with me.

Lay the body down

Lay the body down

Lay the body down

Into The Wild

Suicide was never a part of this mission

Oh to reach, the top of the mountain rise

And deep in the fuel of a wild ambition

Prosperity knows how to undo every mile

I need to move, beyond the longing of my mind

I need to move, beyond the chaos of mankind

And I came here, with a virtue so simple

And I came here, into the wild

And I came here, with a virtue so simple

And I came here, to leave it all

Oh I feel the night, wrap itself around me

And a darkness so intensely

A friend you never knew was there

Leading me on, against my back

Leading me on, along this empty track

I need to move, beyond the city, the streets, beyond the refuge

I need to move

And when you ask me, well what do you do

I’ll tell you that I climb

And I came here, with a virtue so simple

And I came here, into the wild

And I came here, with a virtue so simple

And I came here, to leave it all

Seven Years

It was three O’clock in the morning

When I found myself outside

In the distance a new days’ beginning

How can I quell this feeling

And your love, I carry it with me

Every letter is bound in twine

How can I keep this feeling

When I can’t hold onto time

Seven years to grow

Seven years to go back

Seven years to grow

Seven years to go back

Now the stillness encases the shadows

And the birds have all taken flight

For all the years that pass us by

The love that remains is still mine

Seven years to grow

Seven years to go back

Seven years to grow

Seven years to go back

Two Wrongs

It’s coming on strong

And I’m on my own

Two worlds and a colossus of roads

The nights’ expanse

As the freight train rolls

The eternal hour, is the distance I know

This fast freedom is my home

Rivers snake past

East of highway 99

The desert sun and vastness collide

Tehachapi Mountains; gold on every side

Here I wake to the stars and to the railway lines

This is my debt

Where the two worlds collide

This fast freedom is my home

It’s coming on strong

It’s coming on strong

Fields of corn

Still the freight train rolls on

Blood red moon

Still the freight train rolls on

Within me a part

Of every vagabond forgone

A shadow in history is an angel undone

Graffiti carved into the box cab walls

Here I have no past, I’m just travelling through

This fast freedom is my home

It’s the life that I choose

As I ride, as I ride, as I ride

It’s coming on strong

It’s coming on strong

It’s coming on strong

It’s coming on strong

Free,

Free me.

Leaving

Come on, let’s take that walk

Let’s take that walk

You know that I am leaving

You know that I am leaving

Behold the stars that shine

It’s time we remember ourselves

It’s time we found our own lands

Towards the path, time will cast itself

Because I’m leaving for the road

I’m leaving for the road

I’m leaving for the road

Brother you are the growing one

Never known the requisite

And mother you’re the setting sun

I always feel like I’m leaving

For the road, for the road

Now I’m leaving for the road

Now I’m leaving for the road

Now I’m leaving for the road

For the road

Come on, let’s take that walk

Let’s take that walk

Past the trees, past the fields

Because you know that I am leaving

Patience

Take me, travelling

To be the greatest length of a farewell

Take me back

Back to my hometown

I never knew

I never knew

Patience

Patience

Patience

Return to the moment

.

Always love, always falling

Into the greatest depths of a farewell

Grace

Grace in waiting

I never knew

I never knew

I never knew

Patience

Patience

Patience

Return to the present

Return to the present

Return to the present

Return to the present

The Beach

I seek the paradise

Behind the bitter leaves

Your heavy brown eyes depend on me

Asking every time I leave

Should I turn back

Should I turn back

I lie awake in emptiness

And watch the shoreline grow

Your heavy brown eyes depend on me

Watching every footstep fall below

Should I turn back

Should I turn back

Should I turn back

I’ll let you know

Begin Again

Making tracks, on the road

I’m living a life that is not my own

And I feel tired half the time

I look out of the window

And all I see is you.

I look out of the window

and all I wish is to begin again

Is to begin again

Is to begin again

Is to begin again

Can we begin again

Melancholy Heat

I’ve nothing but time, to carry forth with me

I amount to only love and loss

As I watch the blossom leave

You’ll find the reason

You’ll find the distance

You’ll find the wisdom

In all you’ve seen

I’ve come to understand, the pain in all I’ve known

The importance to be rooted down

The art of letting go

You’ll find the reason

You’ll find the distance

You’ll find the wisdom

You’ll find the darkness

You’ll find the solace

You’ll find the knowledge

You’ll find the promise

In all you’ve seen

Our path is the will we cast

The weight of the broken seed

Strength is the love that lasts

Through this melancholy heat

You’ll find the reason

You’ll find the distance

You’ll find the wisdom

You’ll find the darkness

You’ll find the solace

You’ll find the knowledge

You’ll find the promise

In all you’ve seen

You’ll find the justice

You’ll find the power

You’ll find the lightness

You’ll find the fear

You’ll find the heartbreak

You’ll find the teaching

You’ll find the love

In all you’ve seen

Melancholy heat

Melancholy heat

Melancholy heat

Melancholy heat

All One Breath

Defences, lain down

Natures’ aftermath

The answer

Wherever you go

It will go

.

This world, to set apart

This time, I have no control

The blood is resurrecting

The answer

Wherever you go

It will go

Live For The Road

In the vastness of this land 

I own my departures 

As I travel down 

This open road 

On the West coast 

In the far away 

I know what I’m after 

Time revolves itself over 

As I sail only forwards 

As I feel alive 

Live for the road 

Live for the road 

Live for the road 

And I dreamt this moment over

For this world as you offered it to me 

I now hold it in my open hands

Always moving in-between 

I need no reproaches 

I answer what I heed

And now I feel the wind pass over me 

I’m leaving everything 

To live for the road 

Live for the road 

Live for the road 

Live for the road 

And Im moving in-between 

And I feel without end what I heed 

As I rise above it 

As I rise

And I live for the road 

Hey now 

Hey now 

Live for the road 

Hey now 

Hey now 

Live for the road 

The Spirit Moving

Do I really feel I know myself

Do I really feel a whole

The spirit moves

Like shadow, without form, at home

And then in one evening, the whole mountainside is gone

Walking the same road tomorrow

And the heat will be rising

Walking the same road tomorrow

They’ll watch, the soft collapse

Of the feet move, back behind

The sun, is stealing me, by twilight

I have come to know

There is no distinction of ownership

Do I really feel, do I feel I know myself

Do I feel, I’m the spirit moving

Someday I’ll be free

Someday I’ll be free

Tomorrow the same road will still be walked

And the heat will still be

Rising, rising, rising

And someday I’ll be free

Into all, I’ll be free

Into all

I will be free

I will be free

Same again, move without

Same again, move without

I’ll be free

The Glory Of Love

Lay down your broken sail

There is time to try again

For ours is the glory

The glory of love

Pass the promise, I hold with me

Yours is the word that always reaches me

For ours is the glory

For ours may be

The glory of love

The glory of love

The glory of love

The glory of love

Passing Me By

I watch you smoke your last cigarette

Laying down in the dying gold pines

All the bodies are heading back South

And we’ll watch the fields of night

The dust it falls on the shrines of flowers

The wooden palms, they hold all the hours

And we’re both dressed in white and walking the same

We’re slaying the essays of love and feeling no pain

And I feel it passing me by

The silent worlds will get brought down

The soft collapse of the lakes out back

We’re still walking and we’re all dressed in white

There is a gatepost by the fields you pass at night

And I feel it passing me by

And I feel it passing me by

There is a gilded woman

She stands by the edge

There is a forlorn bird that rises

And we ride through the hills

And I feel it all passing me by

And I feel it all passing me by

And I feel that it’s passing me by

Before The Flood

Inside your head, outside the mess

Inside your head, outside the mess

There’s only time, to give it up

There’s only time

I owe it all to you

I owe it all to you

I owe it all to you

This time

Moving on, before the cross

Moving on

I owe it all to you

I owe it all to you

I owe it all to you

This time

We’ve all got pain, she stands on the first floor above the roses

I have a tape glass in my hand and this motion is going round and round

Time stands in a shroud of pain and this radiating race starts falling

Into the third phase of the flood, she breaks away as she breaks down

She breaks down

Harvest

Take the time that you need

To relieve your mind

Trust the stars

Trust the stars

Trust in yourself

Interpret the dreams

That you travel beneath

Bridge the skies

Bridge the signs

Back to your strength

It would not be the first time

To leave the past behind

It would not be the first time

Harvest it, undress

Undress

Undress

All confessions of love

Of confusion, of loss

Weave them into the night

Just let them breathe

The Madonna appears

To guide you away

It is love, it is love

In which you must depend

It would not be the first time

To leave the past behind

It would not be the first time

Harvest it, undress

Undress

Undress

I must feel

I must feel, to believe

You must feel

You must feel, to believe

The Art Of Revolution

As light enters a wound

Life guilds all remains of darkness

Love reigns through and through

Yielding strength from which true change is born

It’s the overgrown question we forget to address with our hearts

It’s in the beauty that lifts from a vision

It’s the root of suffering

Freedom may not be torn like a petal from a rose

We’re all fugitives, of time, of land, of scope

It’s fundamental that you and I, fight for the dream of hope

History on a wheel

The compass like the instincts of a bird

The Art of Revolution, the palate of the angels

Its the voices that aren’t heard

It’s the overgrown question we forget to address with our hearts

It’s in the beauty that lifts from a vision

It’s the root of suffering

Freedom may not be torn like a petal from a rose

We’re all fugitives, of time, of land, of scope

It’s fundamental that you and I, fight for the dream of hope

Unite

Unite

Unite

The Sky Holds Our Years

Ignite the sounds of falling

Talk to me in the steel blue light

I forget the smell of darkness

Distract my hands, Like magnets on the side

Your eyes

Your eyes

Your eyes

They speak through glass

They speak for change

But your brother skates on ice

We fold away, dissolving into pine

Hills speak for change

But your brother skates on ice

We fold away, dissolving into pine

The sky holds our years

And turns them into light

Inside the car my head is clear

To take apart the land and sink it down

Your eyes

Your eyes

Your eyes

They speak through glass

They speak for change

But your brother skates on ice

We fold away, dissolving into pine

Hills speak for change

But your brother skates on ice

We fold away, dissolving into pine

Your eyes

Your eyes

Our lives pass over

All the places we have loved

Take Me In

Birds eye view

One last sail into the vastness

Before it all fades

To one resolve

Looking back

Who’s reality would that be

In the end it’s all perspective

In the end it’s the weight of the soul

Take me in

Take me in

Peripheral blue

The sacred rite of passage

Towards the light beyond the window

Towards the final rose

Held by one river on the edge of a darkness

This is alchemy

This is the final resolve

To be taken in

Take me in

To be taken in

Take me in

De Profundis

Passing yourself in the rain

Flowers cinder, like a moth to midnights’ flame

Passion is love, rising from the root of pain

Those silver lines

Turn instincts into sight

As you raise yourself from the rivers depths

Sorrow my dear is the sweetest wine

If you understand its beauty, you’ll understand its price

You say you want to be free

Those silver lines

Turn instincts into sight

As you raise yourself from the rivers depths

I’ve been here before

I’ve been here before

I’ve been here before

Sorrow my dear is the sweetest wine

If you understand its beauty, you’ll understand its price

You say you want to be free

Tear yourself from the womb that feeds the hollow seed

Deliver yourself, Oh deliver yourself

Deliver yourself, Oh deliver yourself

To the mouth of Christ for which you wait

To realms of life you wish to wed

Only you can deliver yourself

Only you can deliver yourself

Blue Requiem

Oh I know the feeling, in the shadows of the heart

When deaths’ many faces have torn you apart

Oh these blues have ambushed me, far too many times

And now deaths’ foolish friend is no friend of mine

Well the night’s taught me its paces

And now I’m on the road

To my, my trials and tribulations

On my own

And now I’m walking down empty streets

With the blues like oceans in my hands

And now I’m walking down empty streets

With the blues like oceans in my hands

Oh I, I pin my prayers to the mountaintops of trees

And hold on to my soul as it leaves

And I help my time, to be where it should be

Like the golden child running through the very bones of me

Oh I was shot down by times bullet

And now I’m on my knees

But my friends they help me when I get weak

When I am weak

And now I’m walking down empty streets

With the blues like oceans in my hands

And now I’m walking down empty streets

With the blues like oceans in my hands

And now I’m walking down empty streets

With the blues like oceans in my hands

And now I’m walking down empty streets

With the blues like oceans in my hands

I’ll Keep You With Me

Time preserves itself in each of us

The cycle of our stars will eventually turn to dust

Only a fool can be reclaimed by day

In the signs, in our dreams, we know our fate

Remember what he told you

When life throws down its hardest cards, you must never compromise

Remember what he showed you

When pain does rise, the ancient light will see you through

It will see you through

Rise up from your inhibitions

While you're numb, the whole world revolves outside

Rise up from your hearts inflictions

While you’re numb, it expands beyond the tide

Against all odds, you must move forwards

Keep on searching, but never give up giving

Remember what he told you

When life throws down its hardest cards, you must never compromise

Remember what he showed you

When pain does rise, the ancient light will see you through

It will see you through

I’ll keep you with me

I’ll keep you with me

I’ll keep you with me

In this strange love

In this strange love

Beneath The Ice

Walking in the rain

How the best they fade with age

Like a flower left to die

This old friend of pain, has come

From a distance

The shadows come

To sit around his head

And the grey ink floods

Into the pit of my deepest chest

-

The smoke it rises

To the furthest stars

Your face, it’s frozen

We can only recall what’s past

To feel, to step again Beneath the ice

To feel, I step again Beneath the ice

The Lightness Of Being

At night when she moves through the valleys

The weight lifts from the reservoir floor

The dial it is fixed in the distance

In directions she’ll be carried in death

Peeling gold

In winters’ witness

Burning visions are lain to rest

He plows up the earth into straight lines

Dreaming the old oak would fall to the lawn

He arches his limbs like the horses

That race through the orchards at autumns’ dawn

Lifting forwards

Over fields

Lightness of being is all that’s left

It’s the same for he as she

Love remains from the weight of a dream

It’s the same for she as he

Love changes the course of a history

Silence

Stillness in mass

Stillness in mass
