Marry me miss Mary Jean My hands are washed my clothes are clean I've never seen the morning break the way it did today And this moment is a memory we share It's a good life and easy to bear Clarity is a rarity and indeed I'll need another drink to help me think the whole thing through In my mind there are these binds that keep me here It's a good life and easy to bear You don't know how much I trust you Not to be foolish with yourself I bear the whole of the weight that crushed you Cause I can't do anything else... Prepare to meet disparity it knows no bounds, his charity His charming eyes rolling forever round The only sound is angels whispering in the air It's a good life and easy to bear Bury me near the family tree Where the earth is soft and roots run deep The loose ends of my life could gather To gaze upon my bones And on my stone a cold reminder written there It's a good life and easy to bear You don't know how much I miss you And how much I wish I could stay I hear the moan of a distant whistle And I know your train it ain't coming back The tracks only run one way....

Once again I'm trying to justify the awful things I've been You keep crawling off, I keep falling from the edge I used my heart and not my head But at what a cost, at what expense? What is that supposed to mean she said They're just random thoughts get your point across Use your heart, use your heart, give me one last shot How am I supposed to breathe she said you strangle me with love what am I supposed to read in that What is she speaking of and I see your heart is like a little girl you'll never change How am I supposed to choose I ask My future or my fate What am I supposed to do with this mess that you've left on my plate? and I see your heart... Etched in red I sketched your name Into the broad side of my chest Then I washed it off, when you had gone Sat and wondered what went wrong Tried to cast you out, tried to carry on What do you hope to achieve she said Your dreams are so hard fought, so often lost Follow your heart follow your heart And you'll not be far off What am I supposed to be to you Your experiment in hearts How am I supposed to live like this Will tomorrow never come? And I see your heart...

Feel at Home 02:54
Talk to me about the past, as if it even matters now where I've been From where I've come you can't go back You got to keep pushing ahead I know that none of this can last It'll blow away like sand, blades of grass All I want in the wasted world Is the chance to hear you say Oh my god I am so at home today... Give this note to Margaret Anne Don't tell her who I am, see what she says Tell her I've come from a foreign land And she reminds me of summertime in Berlin Ask her if she'd like to go there I can float us on a whim, let the breeze begin All I want in the wasted world Is a guitar I can play Oh my god, I am so at home today God I feel at home....

I watch the plane roll into land In the hazy gray of the summertime I raise my head you wave your hand The indifference is crazy A cricket chirps, the radio it never worked You sang into my ear If it's worth it, or it hurts enough to say it baby You'd better let somebody hear you All my life it's been burning in my mind Showing in my eyes I said nothing else means anything... I watch the ocean fill with sand In the space of a breath, the blink of an eye I think about what it means to go without And how much a man can stand to throw aside Shut your mouth open your eyes We are both already too old for this And if it comes with no surprise It comes with no consequence All my life it's been burning in my mind Showing in my eyes I said nothing else means anything...

Colored like a bruise, this tune is to nobody Show me anything worth half the time it took to prove And I'll invite you in... Dire is the news, your dour brow is furrowed In the gloaming rolled heavy stones Cordon off the truth I didn't spite you then.... Weren't you amused, though I was hardly joking When I said all along, as strong as I professed to be myself, it was myself that did me in... Lit out like a fuse, a Roman candelabrum For a forlorn stretch of flattened earth A northern border square I will meet you there...

Waikiki 04:19
When somebody loves you, swallows up the sun to Show you that you warm his heart When someone you trusted, they go out and hurt you It's hard to make it out unscarred Remember the time I said to call me baby If you needed anything at all, anything at all.... The most beautiful place in the world, I've never been And I know it doesn't get easier But that's where you're going to, that's what you told me And I've got to know now, baby got to know Is why, waikiki? We've all been to places that we can't escape and It's hard to make it out I know We all have done something that we couldn't run from It's better not to think about Remember the time I said... And I won't go believing for too long
