You slowed the clocks when you talked,
To me, to me,
The roof of my mouth turned heavy and round,
To me, to me.I wish you were still,
Writing me down,
I wish you were still,
Around.A new newspaper crown,
I wore,
I wore it out,
If you, if you knew me now,
Could you go without?I wish you were still,
Teasing me out,
I wish you were still,
Around.I'll give,
Back the words that you said,
To me, to me,
I'll dry,
Out the stream that you fed,
Through me through me.I wish you were still,
Writing me down,
I wish you were still,
Around.

Oh, hear those songbirds singing at the start of the day,
Yeah I woke up early I was on my way,
Red hot sun in a big blue sky,
I was gonna start running,
But it was quicker to fly.

Over the mountain down to the vale,
Out to the coast, get a boat, set sail,
All I want to do is get back and break bread,
I've been missing my lover,
I've been missing my sweet, sweet bed.

I'm trying to get back home,
Before the sun goes down.

Oh I can't slow down, my feet won't rest,
I'm weak I'm weary but I couldn't care less,
Got a song in my soul, got a skip in my step,
My heartbeat’s racing the closer I get.

I've been gone so long but now I gotta get back,
Just one more trail yeah, one more track,
For ten long years been skipping like a stone,
But now this old man’ll be rolling,
Rolling home.

I'm trying to get back home,
Before the sun goes down.

I'm getting tired of trying to take things slow,
Kicking back ‘n waiting for the wind to blow,
For way too long just gone with the flow,
But those days are done, so get up, let’s go.

I'm getting tired of all the talking,
Been getting less of the yes than no,
Reckon I'm ready for the real thing,
All I gotta do is get up and go.

Here I am, and it feels like just yesterday, When we ran, chasing skipping stones in summer rain, No matter I go, it could never be living up to this, Coming in from the cold, we're singing and we're living just like kings.
It goes oh oh oh, Singing do do do do do.
With you by my side, there’s nothing out there we can’t get through.

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now

I’m foundI was blind but now I see

Rat a tap tap;
Oh don’t you come and ask;
Am I a coming back?
The sky has gone black on us.

Don’t you weep –
Blame myself for these things
Known I was stronger than he –
And all you weaklings knew it.

Toodle loo;
They all abandoned you
One bruised and another screwed,
But I was the only loved.

Oh, Hannah Leah …
I was the only love.

Keep that bed.
Now brother, keep that rug.
Lord knows I was given so much –
And the devil keeps me fed.

On the wall. On the stove –
And in the blank book you draw –
There are signs of Hannah Leah
There are signs of our love.

Oh, Hannah Leah …
There are signs of love.

On a black, blue night
I go a wandering:
Out over Houston –
Along Avenue A.
Hannah Leah
On Avenue A.

Ku Klux Klan;
There’s evil in every man.
Come love her when you can –
And see about Hannah Leah.

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I’m found
I was blind but now I see

YOU CARRY THE VISION

Look at what we’ve achieved by nowPlace looks bigger with a field as a yardYou could put a hole in the groundFor sage and daffodils

Find your highConfirmation’s slowConstellation’s low

Feeling all but can’t be rainAnd I’ll never feel the same
All my children can’t do love and
SacrificeOh the tides are high
for you and me

You carried the vision
You carry the visionYou carry the visionYou carry the vision
Look at what we’ve achieved by nowThe place looks bigger with a field as a yard
Oh the sky’s clear enough to use

IT IS YOU

Sleep overClosest to dawnThe lines are drawn
The acts of youth
And only by the gods we’ll make it through

Sleeper don’t goYour dress is only creased in two
Will you come and lie with me
My face is turnedEnding as an apogee
I’ll never learn

It is you
It is youIt is you

Come by I don’t want to sleep
Without you all over my dreams
Cedars green glowThe smell upon the bed sheet knewWill you come and lie with me
The chase is done
Perfect physiognomyI’ll never learn

It is you
It is youIt is you
