A Toy Story

I'm on the edge of sight unseen,
Sometimes a change is all you need,
My friends are broken in the ground,
Circle says I'm next going round.
I'm an old toy in the bin,
Because my boys' an old toy too.

I'll raise a preacher boy -- thats all I have to do,
Cuz when the wicked rule this old world God goes easier on you,
Well it's the cobbler man that tells me that I'll be doing fine,
I'm just an old boy in a small town with a fear of the divine.
I'll raise a preacher boy -- write home and tell the nurse,
Cuz when I'm poor he'll preach to poorer, when I'm old I'll get there first,
Well it's the sewin' girl that tells me that I'm out of my mind,
I'm just a sinner in an old town trying to make my history right.

Little Lady -- drinking a soda pop goes your big balloon
Little Lady -- floating to mars and back in a big balloon,
Little Lady -- are you singing a song, in a big balloon?
I want to see your gold hair soon -- Little Lady.
Little Lady -- are you counting the stars, in a big balloon?
I want to see your big brown eyes.
Little Lady -- are you floating to mars? Will you be there soon?
I want to be your big balloon -- Little Lady.

I will sit here waiting till' the morning calls, after all these years.
I will be here waiting by the Linden Tree, because lovers plea alone.
I will sit here waiting till' the morning calls, the fruit and all our tears,
I will be your lover by the Linden Tree, to bend a knee and fall,
Or sit and dream it all.

No Name #1

I wasn't great enough, brave enough for you,
A million rounds, a billion towns.
I couldn't take enough, breaking up with you,
A million frowns, a billion towns.
But now I'm in front.

No Name #2

I had a dream as an old man,
shell shocked in an East land,
and life slipped through like dry sand.
But dreams they pass and lead to better ends.
I had a dream that the Earth slowed,
and rain fell on my dry clothes,
and love set with the suns glow.
But dreams they pass and don't pretend to know.
I had a dream I could see the shore,
but sunk like a ship on the ocean floor.
It seems love has to be inside of me,
because I don't want to care at all.
I had a dream I could bend time,
and float into the night sky.
It seems love has to end sad,
but you're the greatest dream that I have ever had.

Say Compté
02:44
|

|
Here's to breaking up and calling it friends,
because I'll never be one to love again.
With an honest eye enough to pretend,
I'll never be one to love again.
So, I'll wait and cry and mourn your loss -- but I'll never wonder.
I'll let you lead me here again.

Petals

I'm in your cage.
Iron and steal keep me safe.
I have been broken open --
sunk and swollen down.
Choking.
Open.
Broken down.
I miss your glow.
Plant me where all things can grow.
I am a shadow, a meadow --
frozen ice and stone.
Petals.
Meadows.
Ice and stone.
Petals.
Meadows.
Frozen.
