Little Talks
I don’t like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand I’ll walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as you sleep it’s keeping me awake
It’s the house telling you to close your eyes
And some days I can’t even dress myself
It’s killing me to see you this way
‘Cause though the truth may vary this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
There’s an old voice in my head that’s holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young and full of life and full of love
Some days I don’t know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear
‘Cause though the truth may vary this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Don’t listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
You’re gone, gone, gone away I watched you disappear
All that’s left is a ghost of you
Now we’re torn, torn, torn apart there’s nothing we can do
Just let me go we’ll meet again soon
No wait! Wait! Wait for me!
Please hang around, I’ll see you when I fall asleep
Don’t listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Six Weeks
Slow, slow me down
Her blood on my bones
Let go, lay to rest
We fall, we fall, we fall, we fall to the ground
Sleep, sleep all night
while the young, they wait alone
Get up, shake the rust
We crawl, we crawl, we crawl, we crawl on the ground
Alone, I fight these animals
Alone, until I get home
A wolf, Wolf and I, we share the same cold meal I float on, float on down
We ride, we ride, we ride, we ride it all out
We ride, we ride, we ride, we ride it all
Ride, we ride, we ride, we ride it all
Ride, we ride, we ride, we ride it all out
Alone, I fight these animals
Alone, until I get home
Coming back, I’m coming back
Coming back, I’m coming back
She follows me into the woods, takes me home
She follows me into the woods, takes me home
Coming back, I’m coming back
Coming back, I’m coming back
She follows me into the woods, takes me home
From Finner
We came here on his back and we caught your eye
The salty ocean wind made the seagulls cry
The rocking of his house had me holding on
but I knew that I was safe from there on out
And the waves that hit his face marked the past
And the furrows on his skin - oh, how time goes fast
And we are far from home but we’re so happy
Far from home, all alone, but we’re so happy
After every sunny day, came a stormy night
That’s when Finner would say, “Keep your heads held high!”
And we are far from home but we’re so happy
Far from home, all alone, but we’re so happy
Love, Love, Love
Maybe I’m a crook for stealing your heart away
Maybe I’m a crook for not caring for it
Maybe I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad person
Baby I know
And these fingertips will never run through your skin
And those bright blue eyes can only meet mine across a room filled with people
that are less important than you
‘Cause you, love, love, love when you know I can’t love
You love, love, love when you know I can’t love
You love, love, love when you know I can’t love you
So I think it’s best we both forget before we dwell on it
The way you held me so tight all through the night ‘til it was near morning
‘Cause you, love, love, love when you know I can’t love
You love, love, love when you know I can’t love
You love, love, love, when you know I can’t love you
