Book Of Your Life

What do you think of fate
The feeling that we shouldn't wait
We met with the wind that day
It carried our notes on the bay
Of all the places I've been
Where you were was most serene
When you told me of your faith
Now I think about you every day
I'd write in the book of your life
Words and songs of tonight
Poems the length of the page
On moonlight and faith
After our show one night
We sat beneath a streetlight
I remember how you smiled
As we stayed and spoke for a while
And I'd drive you 'round full of pride
We'd stay out the whole night
You took me to the woods your favorite place
A cliffside overlooking the bay
I'd write in the book of your life
Words and songs of tonight
In Poems the length of the page
On moonlight and faith
Turn back to my page in your life
Aging as years go by
My poems and songs that day
Written forever to stay
and now I'm in the book of your life
Like you're written in mine
I'm still open on that page
I still think about you every day
I'd write in the book of your life
I'd write in the book of your life

Gamble

Did you gamble
and wager the best years of your life
Was it a game you're playin
Did you understand the stakes were that high
Did you know
While you were saving for reitrement
Did you see
How you have become so reticent
We'd never meet
Was this your dream
After all
How many chips you get
For turnin in those years of your life
Why couldn't you say no
Turn around and leave with your head held high
Did you know
While you were outraged by the government
Did you see
A swollen eye ran for president
Were you obscene
Was this your dream
After all

Halifax

Found my old stereo
The one that got me started
I'd take old cassesttes
and make radio recordings
It'd chew up all the tapes
I'd flatten em out straight
Flatten em out straight
One night I had a dream
That I was flying
I was running from the police
But I kept on crashing
My mind was tring to say
That I should get away
I did the next day
But my dreams all flow into Halifax
Avoiding the tolls through the pass
My rivers flow into Halifax
Where waters can mix with the past
Nowadays
I am a bit more hopeful
Some people tell me to write songs
That are less depressing
But I don't give a fuck
Doesn't bother me that much
Who are they to judge
But my dreams all flow to Halifax
Avoiding the tolls through the pass
My rivers flow into Halifax
There waters can mix with the past

Where Do I Go?
03:25
|
|||
|
Make it easy to breathe
When you want it to be
Make it so hard to see
That I am lonely
I can build the home
that you can hang around
and when the lights are turned down low
Where do I go
Make it 3:53
and time to talk to me
Wake up so hard to see
That I grind my teeth
I can crack and groan
You can shake me though
but when the lights are turned down low
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Bring it delivery
To the side of your bed
Swung so wide to see
that you are sleeping
You can lie and sow
The doubt will someday grow
Then when the lights are turned down low
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Made it easy to leave
When you were ready
Speaking so candidly
I thought we were dreaming
You bought me some new clothes
I don't need 'em though
'cause when the lights are turned down low
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Bought me new clothes
Don't need 'em though
When the lights
Turned down low
Where do I go

Your strong and flowing hair
Has soft and lion curls
Caressing your shoulders
of silk slender pearl
Your wide and glowing eyes
are as deep as the poles
adjusting my judgements
beyond my control
And the freckles on your face
of gold flakes and guile
a fullness in your cheeks
a pillow for your smile
(and) The way your hand felt
pressed against my arm
carved me of marble
and stone centred hearth
And I don't know
How to tell her
Without pushing her away
I don't know
how to tell her
That I want her to stay
When I picked you up
and we sang for hours
The wolves came you scared them
and that was ours
A slowly sinking sun
Cascading on the lake
In tones rich and wholesome
and verberant waves
Climbed up our voice
and settled in the tower
A lawn of lemongrass
Surrounding your bower
Then when the bitter cold
was nipping at your bones
We rushed to my car
and I drove you home
And I don't know
How to tell her
Without pushing her away
And I don't know
How to tell her
that I want her to stay
What do I do
About you
A fire burns through the core
Of the town
At the feet
Of my door
The Captain said it happened
Long before

Love Letter
02:07

You came when I needed you the most
You took my heart in
you were the host
Just know
As long as you keep me around
That I'll keep you
Safe and sound
Well if I had grown another inch
Then maybe I could see the fence
That you stole
When I took and hid you from the crowd
and there I kept you
Safe and sound
You perfumed ther neck
of my sweater
I think you'll call this
A love letter
To bring with you everywhere kept close
Like a blanket wrapped warming your toes
I will show
You all the treasures of the ground
and how I'll keep you
Safe and sound
You perfumed the neck
of my sweater
I think you'll call this
A love letter
You perfumed the neck
of my sweater
You can call this
Your love letter
and know that I wrote
an ending much beter than this
One where we can be
Safe and sound

Coming Clean

I'm worried that I'll smile
When I see you again
I'm worried that I'll smile
When we are true friends
Though I get it
You made me happy why regret it
Though I get it
You made me happy I don't regret it
I'm worried that I'll smile
When I see your message
I'm worried that I'll smile
When we are true friends
Look I get it
Things are fine now so why upset it
Look I get it
Things are fine now so why should we upset it
I'm coming clean
I'll give back what I stole
I'm coming clean
And I won't drink or smoke
I'm coming clean
I will be so healthy
I'm coming clean
'till then don't look at me
Believe me I get it
I've got a chance now I won't take for granted
Believe me I get it
You made me happy so why upset it
Believe me I get it
Things are fine now so why regret it
Believe me I get it
I got a chance now I won't take for granted
I'm coming clean
I'll give back what I stole
I'm coming clean
and I won't drink or smoke
I'm coming clean
I wouldn't lie to you
I'm coming clean
Come clean to me

Spring and Autumn

You'll remember me
In the spring and autumn
Like in the woods
Behind your farm in Milton
You'll think of me
Where the sea meets the sand
When we lived on Bader's beach
On Salt Spring Island
and I'll see you
In the mirror of my room
Our reflections
Are carved right through
and You'll hear me
Singin' in the kitchen
Shaking the leaves
From the sheets of our bed
Where time
Stood still
Where time
Stood still
Come with me you said
and bring the wine
We walked out on the sandbar
During high tide
You held a candle
and danced in circles
The air was deep
and the water so cold
If you loved me then
You loved me a thousand times
The stars, the dark
The ocean that night
Where time
Stood Still
Where time
Stood Still
Now with the homeless I take
A free supper
I try not to think about you
Moving forward
If you meet me
While I'm laying on the street
You'd know my face
You would recognize me
If you loved me then
You loved me a thousand times
The stars in the dark
and the ocean that night
If you loved me then
You've loved me a thousand times
The stars in the dark
In the ocean that night
If you loved me then
You loved me a thousand times
The stars in the dark
and the ocean that night
If you loved me then
You've loved me a thousand times
The stars in the dark
In the ocean that night
You'll remember me
In the Spring and Autumn
Like in the woods
Behind your farm in Milton
And if you meet me
While I'm laying on the street
You'd know my face
You would recognize me
If you loved me then
You loved me a thousand times
The stars in the dark
and the ocean that night
If you loved me then
You've loved me a thousand times
The stars in the dark
In the ocean that night
You'll remember me
In the Spring and Autumn
You'll remember me
In the Spring and Autumn
You'll remember me
In the spring and autumn
You'll remember me
In the spring and autumn

In The Crowd
03:13

When I was passing out on the road to camp
You didn't care then
When the broken branch fell and hit his head
You didn't care then
All of those leaves
in the air for you
The crack and the climb
and the nervous thundering
Of the crowd
Of the crowd
Of the crowd
Hm
When you stood on my hands I threw you in the air
You didn't care then
When the doctor came and took my temperature
You didn't care then
All of those birds
On the pier for you
Screaming and cawing
and fucking shitting on your head
In the crowd
In the crowd
In the crowd
Hm

Without You
03:53

On the road up North
Past the abandoned store
Theres a town
We've been before
The road markers here
Count sorrows
Driving past
Gone by tomorrow
And they'll all fade
In my memory too
Just like every day
Without you
On the road out West
Past the faerie doors
Take a ship
On the ocean floor
A greener place
Was never sown
It was my heart
It was my home
And they'll all fade
In my memory too
Just like every day
Without you
They'll all fade
in my memory too
Just like everyday
Without you
It was warm today
Warmer tomorrow too
Just like every day
Without you
They'll all fade
In my memory too
Just like every day
Without you
They'll all fade
In my memory too
Just like every day
Without you

Island Drive
02:23

Somewhere in the forest you'll find
Our spilled wine
The wild thyme
Bring to me with your half rhyme
Blackberry vine
The wild thyme
We're just pulled away by time
Still in my eye
It's not goodbye
All across the island drive
Sun in my eye
It's not goodbye
Pull the curtain back wide
And there you shine
The wind in chime
Being washed away by the tide
But still you shine
The wind in chime
We're just pulled away by time
Still in my eye
It's not goodbye
All across the island drive
Sun in my eye
It's not goodbye
We're just pulled away by time
Still in my eye
It's not goodbye
All across the island drive
Sun in my eye
It's not goodbye
We're just pulled away by time
Still in my eye
It's not goodbye
All across the island drive
Sun in my eye
It's not goodbye
