i want a little house with a garden
where the flowers bloom in the spring
and the april moon holds my body
softly in the mud while i sleep
and i can hear the rain fall
and i can watch the sun rise
and i can feel the river
flowing in the moonlight
i wanna grow my hair to the soil
and get my feet stuck in the weeds
hold the sucker moon in my hands
and let it make me clean
and i can hear the birds sing
and i can feel the winds blow
and i can dance in sunlight
and i can watch my life go by

apologies
01:24
|
|||
|
someday i'll be driving north
and i will sleep at your house
and in the middle of the night
you'll hold me on your couch
and you'll apologize
for all the hurt you caused
and i will be so accepting
so accepting of it all

fool's gold
02:31
|

it's fool's gold for sale at the tourist trap
overpriced, can't give it back
it's been too long
and it won't change no matter how hard you wish
but the sun sometimes catches it
and it looks pretty
i guess some things
weren't meant to work
they say there's nothing
we can do
it gold old trying to paint those glasses pink
can't let you know what i really think
i don't wanna fight
it felt strange thinking of some other man
while you tried to hold my hand
i really am sorry
i guess some things
weren't meant to work
they say there's nothing
we can do
it's fool's gold for sale at the tourist trap
overpriced, can't give it back
it's been too long

a prayer
03:52
|
|||
|
when i am gone
will you send me off to sea
and when you get home
light a candle for me?
a wish
a song
a prayer
when i am old
will you stay by my side
and send me to sleep
with the words of a lullaby
a wish
a song
a prayer
amen

forward to fridays
03:45
|
|||
|
i wanna see my friends
from the city
pick them up my car
drive them to a party
i don't wanna believe
that my best days are behind me
i wanna play in my band
to people i've never met
but at least for a while
it'll be like i know them
i don't wanna believe
that my best days are behind me
i wanna look forward
forward to fridays
and drive to some show
on the other side of LA
i don't wanna believe
that my best days are behind me
i wanna see my friends
from the city
pick them up my car
drive them to a party

when the world ends
03:50
|
|||
|
from my window i still see the sun
always certain that she's gunna come
streaming through, under my door
every morning and i don't know what for
and from my bedroom i hear a baby cry
what a strange time it is to be alive
and the kids all stopped going off to school
i don't know what but something's gotta happen soon
and when the world ends
can you hold me?
will you keep me company
in the dark?
you're a good friend
and you don't owe me
anything at all.
will another month or two pass us so fast?
i think it's strange how the time seems to pass
and i miss my friends and my family
but i'm so glad you're here with me
when the world ends
can you hold me?
will you keep me company
in the dark?
you're a good friend
and you don't owe me
anything at all.

i won't mind
04:41
|

|
after this is over maybe we'll take the train
to san francisco for the second time
and i'll catch cold gettin' caught out in the rain
but you'll take care of me, so i'll be fine
and i couldn't tell you
how any of this happened so fast
even if i wanted to
baby, i can't
but i don't mind if you don't mind
no, i won't mind if you won't mind
go easy baby, there's no reason to cry
i'll hold you up, fill your cup
and you'll fill mine
this love ain't heavy
you don't have to wait your turn
you got the soul of a healer and a teacher
i got so much to learn
and i couldn't tell you
how any of this happened so fast
even if i wanted to
baby, i can't
but i don't mind if you don't mind
no, i won't mind if you won't mind

tall, tall grass
02:30
|
|||
|
when i turn to dust
can i drift away
and live in the tall, tall grass
and watch it all pass?
when my legs give out
can i float to shore
and live in a cave by the sea
where no one can touch me?
when my eyes go dark
can i still feel the sun
and lay in the warm, warm sand
and find it again?
that feeling,
that feeling.

a thousand swords
05:12
|
|||
|
when i am old and tired
and my hair falls to the floor
will you drive out from your city house
and show up at my door?
and it feels like a thousand swords
in my body, in my body
and i've lost all control
of my body, of my body
will you be there with flowers?
will i go like my father?
cancer of the throat
will sickness eat away me
with nowhere left to go?
and it feels like there's a war
in my body, in my body
and they can't do anymore
for my body, for my body
will you be there with flowers?
when am old and dying
please just take me home
don't lock me up in some wooden box
in a cold white hospital
and i'm no longer here
in this body, in this body
and i've been freed from fear
in my body, in my body
from what felt like a thousand swords
in my body, in my body
and i no longer need control
of my body, of my body
will you be there with flowers?
