Flowers

Tell me again how love got her name
I wanna hear about how the flowers reached for the rain
Tell me again how the world got sad
The part where you say you love somebody but you treat them bad
This world was never mine
This world was never yours
This world has never seen a place treated so unkind
And called it love before
Mama I just cry when I hear that song
It always breaks my heart to hear we treated her so wrong
But tell me again, so I don't forget
Tell me over and over til it settles in my head

Real Time, Real Tears
03:01
|
|||
For a little while longer now it just might need to be like this
Where going anywhere feels like walking high on a wire in the wind
It's hard to leave any story when it's over
Without dying to hear it again
Oh if only we could find the door to meet outside the past
Would I believe my heart when she promises to last
Beating out beyond me on the sand
A fish out of water in your hand
Give it an hour, give it a day
Give it a summer, aw, give it a year
There's just something about living without
There's just no way around
Real time
And real tears
So I give my pain a window now, I give my pain a door
I give anything to know if she's ever been anywhere like this before
And yes I give her sunlight and water
And when she asks I always give her more

How Bad I Wanna Live
02:53
|

I never dreamed I'd ask what I need now
That he could dare to watch if I fall down
And I don't come back up out of the ocean laughing
He can love me to the blood, he can love me to the bone
But there's still some roads I gotta go alone
And there's still some nights I'm gonna be the only one crying
Oh but I'm so happy knowing how much more I wanna give
Yeah and I'm so happy knowing just how bad I wanna live
It doesn't matter if my mind goes racing on ahead
Only place for my heart is the very next step
Only place for my hands is holding to the ground around me
I was lost from my body even worse than I thought
Now I love her more than ever yeah she's all that I've got
And whatever she tells me she needs, that's what I'm doing
Here on my knees on the wet red clay
Death sings below in the ocean
All you goats and angels I'm not dying today
I'm not dying today, I'm not dying

Dogs Run On
03:36
|
|||
When I get home we'll go to the lake
Watch the show on the water the sunset makes
It'll be.a little too cold to swim
But we can sit and think about summer coming
I'll throw skippers and you'll sniff logs
And if it's one of those parks where they don't allow dogs
Like old times we won't read that sign
If no one sees us there's no fine
I could go out looking in my memory
As if that's where you'd go, as if that's where you'd be
Then I see that shadow leap across the bright white snow
Right in the middle of my heart
Where I'm missing you the most
You're there forever, you're there right now
Sleeping on the porch on the side of the house
Stretched out laying in a long line
You must have turned into sunshine
Big heart shining through black fur
Like you know love's not made for words
Like you know love is never gone
Days pass away but dogs run on

Not a Trick of the Eye
02:34
|
|||
It's not a trick of the eye
She said goodnight
There was no reason for goodbye
No reason for goodbye
It's not a trick of the eye
To love so much
And have to leave them all behind
Have to leave them all behind
It's not a trick of the eye
We are no butterflies
We do not have the eyes for violet light
But I sure did see an innocent man shot dead on the street that night
It's not a trick of the eye
The flashing lights
His empty hand up to the sky
Had his hands held to the sky
It's not a trick of the eye
Not a trick of the light
It's like they wanted him to die
It's like they wanted him to die

I Don't Ask Trees
02:56
|
|||
When I see you fly so free and far
For me, he said, it's just too hard
How I cried that night when I clipped my wings
So he could be there when I sing
I was a dreamer I was a girl
Oh the ways we try to love in this world
I got as small as he asked me to
Like it was what I had to do
I don't ask trees why they need so much time to grow
I don't ask hearts why they need so much time to know
Well I hid my tears, I did my best
Didn't know I got that lost I guess
In all those years there was no home
Like flying on the air alone
I didn't tell you when I knew I could
I didn't leave him when I knew I should
When the sky was copper and full of birds
I heard their songs and I knew the words

Margaret
03:00
|

I am a daughter, a sister, a mother
For a long time I was a wife
I've had squirrels in my ceiling and heartache and healing
Oh I've had a beautiful life
I thank the heavens I still have the memories
I run my hands over all the stitches and seams
We don't have many new conversations these days
Except when he visits my dreams
What can I say, just be good to your sweethearts and gardens
Be good to your dogs and your faraway friends
When you find bits of light, hold on to them tight
You'll need all of them when your world changes again
When your story gets torn and some pages go missing
When your plans turn to geese and leave you behind
When the prize that you find is that one day you realize
The world isn't reading your mind

Never on the Map
04:26
|
|||
In the hidden hills of Pittsburgh, way up above the streets
They were on their way to Montreal, or bound for New Orleans
We were westbound in a Saturn, west and everywhere between
Once you hear about those trains you ride forever in your dreams
Cory knew the songs, he had his own guitar
Ellie knit and sang a bit and let the strangers talk
Nick played spoons and I played fiddle, we slept under the stars
Where one Arizona sunrise stays forever in your heart
When you go out on that road
You never quite come back
There's a river runs right through you
It's never on the map
Mr. Cash what do we owe you for those tickets to the west
We sang your songs for oranges and mac and cheese and bread
Oh the dew of Colorado is still my favorite coldest bed
Yes all across this country there's a place to lay your head

Watches Out Of Diamonds
02:22
|
|||
If walls could talk
Well I'd be asking
Anybody up top with any better ideas
About where to go from here
I'm trying not to lose too much sleep
On too many nights for too many years
Pretty busy down here just pouring time
Like water through the gears
Gotta hand it to em it's a good machine
Who cares if it's running dirty or clean
As long as it's making parking spots
And watches out of diamonds
If I could fly
Well I'd be going
Get up a couple miles, clear my mind
Get a better sense of the scene
Maybe then I'd have a little better chance of landing
Like a bird in the middle of the rising sea
Picking up a passing dollar in my beak
Like I don't know what in the world it means

Ethan Jodziewicz: harmony vocals, kick drum, sleigh bells, body percussion

You Don't Need Me
02:47
|
|||
You need someone who's still afraid to send the letter that she wrote
Someone afraid of the water, afraid of the boat
You need someone who believes you when you tell her that she needs you
Tell her you're the only way, tell her it's crazy but it's true
But you don't need me
You don't need me
You need someone who's never had the chance to walk out on her soul
Yeah you need to be the castle so the world can be the cold
Someone who hangs her head for asking and believes you when you say
She can't make it on her own it just doesn't work that way
Tell her that's the way it's done, tell her that's the way it goes
Never mind what she wanted, never mind what she knows
Somehow the gate doesn't open until you turn the key
Find someone who believes how romantic that can be

Leftover Tears
02:55
|
|||
If it's what you need any road can be walked alone
I just thought this might be a place to walk each other home
I just thought this might be the world where tenderness grows in the rain
I just thought this might be the time to ease each other's pain
These are leftover tears from the day I was born
They slip out sometimes when I don't know what to make of this world
I thought we might want to be holding each other by now
And if not with our arms, however we figure out how
I just know I long to be there for you and you for me
This might be the time we paint the world we'd rather see
These are leftover tears from the day I was born
They slip out sometimes when I don't recognize this world
