I sleep with the windows open

To let all the colors shine in

And as for the silence outside

It’s shaking and breaking the night

And there's no place for me

No place that I can see

That holds me up this way

That makes me want to stay

And there's no other place like this

The weight of a lover’s kiss

And, dear, where do we draw the line, this time?

I sleep with the windows open

To let all the colors shine in

And, oh, as the night turns to day

And dawn casts the shadows away

And there's no place for me

No place that I can see

That holds me up this way

That makes me want to stay

And there's no other place like this

The weight of a lover’s kiss

And, dear, where do we draw the line, this time?

And all we have is love

So all we are is love

BACK TO LYRICS

Wake me like it's been, love, years and years

Since you've been someone else's love

Slow the ground gives way beneath our feet

My love, my sweet

She knows me now

When I come around

Lover, lover, come around 

And find the waking of the world

And all I wanted was you

And all I wanted was to be with you

And all I wanted was to be in your arms

In your arms tonight 

Shake me now, the words are holding out

To fight the silence and the shame

And waiting for you slowly holds me down

The ground is wearing thin

But it's never, ever gonna change

Never, ever, ever gonna change 

The way I feel about you

And all I wanted was to be with you

And all I wanted was to be in your arms tonight

And all I wanted was to be with you

And all I wanted was to be in your arms

In your arms tonight

Wake me like it's been, love, years and years

Since you've been sleeping next to me

And slowly I can feel you coming ‘round

The sun!

BACK TO LYRICS

There’s a place, where a garden grows

Where your heartbeat shakes the snow

There’s a sound, like a bullet train

Moving quickly through the rain

Lover, in the darkness, I’ll be near

I’ll be there to take your fears

And even at the end, well, I’ll be there

To take your place

There’s a flame, going coast to coast

Out to guide you

There’s a hand, reaching toward the dawn

Safe and strong, love, to pull you on

Lover, in the darkness, I’ll be near

I’ll be there to take your fears

And even at the end, well, I’ll be there to take your place

Oh, ‘cause lover, at our darkest, I’ll be here

I’ll be there to take your fears

And even at the end, well, I’ll be there

To take your place

When the morning comes

Oh, you'll be in my arms

And when the night grows cold

Love, I'll pull you close

And lover, in the darkness I’ll be here

I’ll be there to take your fears

And even at the end, well, I’ll be there

To take your place 

BACK TO LYRICS

Cast your heart to the floor, love

Feel the sting

Feel the weight of a love

Of a love not strong enough

Your head’s on fire

Your hands and feet come off the ground

Oh, sweet desire

When your mind’s not strong enough

It’s not that your head is gone

It’s just that your heart is on fire

It’s not that the beat is off

It’s just that your heart is on fire

Clutch your hands to her body

And feel the sting

Feel the shape of a love

Of a love not strong enough

Your head’s on fire

Your hands and feet come off the ground

Oh, sweet desire

When your mind’s not strong enough

It’s not that your head is gone

It’s just that your heart is on fire

It’s not that the beat is off

It’s just that your heart is on fire

Lay back, let the weight go off

Float on, let the feelings grow higher

It’s not that your head is wrong

It’s just that your heart is on fire

And we can’t stop

We’ve come too far here

This silent heart will wait for years

And years, and years

It’s not that your head is gone

It’s just that your heart is on fire

It’s not that the beat is off

It’s just that your heart is on fire

Lay back, let the weight go off

Get up, let your feelings grow higher

It’s not that your head is wrong

It’s just that your heart is on fire

BACK TO LYRICS

This is the ending of the beginning

And I've got my fingers pressed up

Tight against your back

And, oh, how reckless

You removed your necklace

And cast it out upon the floor

Upon piles and piles of clothes

And I love you

I'll always love

I’ll always love you

Just like this

And I love you

I'll always love you

I’ll always love you

Just like this

Oh, the sweetness

Of your warm kiss

Grazing slow upon my brow

And here, now, we trace

Out every embrace

And cast our bodies to the floor

Upon piles and piles of clothes

And I love you

I'll always love

I’ll always love you just like this

And I love you

I'll always love you

I’ll always love you just like this

This is the ending of the beginning

And I've got my fingers pressed up

Softly on your back

And, oh, the sweet speak

Oh, dear of your heartbeat

It moves so slowly on the floor

Upon piles and piles of clothes

And I love you

I'll always love you

I’ll always love you just like this

And I love you

I'll always love you

I’ll always love you just like this

BACK TO LYRICS

Find me a seed

And I'll find you water

We’ll plant ourselves here

The wind, rain, and fodder

Will add to our rings

To our life, to our legacy

We form a tree

The roots and the branches

Locked in the soil

So shaped by the chances

Oh, we’ve built a home

Built a place for a history

And rain will come

To put out the fires, love

And we’ll remain, love

A statue that lives on for years

For all time

Here in the winter

We shed off our leaves

Though the seasons will change

My heart, love, it heeds

To the warmth in your glance

In your lips, in your warm embrace

When we break a branch

We’ll shake off the splinters

‘Cause wounds, love, they fade

And add to our shape

And rain will come

To put out the fires, love

And you remain

My only desire, love

‘Cause I am yours, and you are mine

And I’ll be yours for all time

In time, you wrapped your roots round me

And how I found you in the weeds

I’ll never know

Oh, I’ll never know

You were the seed

And I was the soil

Here in the earth

Our roots, they did coil

Entwined, now our hearts

Form a life, form a legacy

BACK TO LYRICS

Caught in a wave

So soft and safe

You’ve got your heart locked up

But now how I’ve come

Like the sound of a gun

It isn't enough

It isn't enough

You are the beginning

You are the end

Caught in my wake

So soft and safe

I’ve got you lost

I’ve got you locked up

And now we are one

Like the fire and sun

And, oh, what I’ve done

Oh, what have I done?

Oh, what a love that gives

And then taketh all away

Oh, what a man will do

When a man’s lost everything

When everything’s changed

You are the beginning

You are the end

Locked in a cage

Anchored and safe

You’ve got my heart locked up

Oh, now it comes

Like the sound of a gun

It isn’t enough

It isn’t enough

BACK TO LYRICS

Clasp your hands to the floor, love

The icy sting that you used to know

Well, you said you won’t go, you said won’t go

‘Cause it’s all down from the way things are

You said you won’t go, you said you won’t go

For this life, in this life

Now that your heart is stalling

Now that your hands and your body clutch the soil

Now that the beast is calling from a foreign shore

Now that the weight has fallen

Well, your mind lets go and your body falls apart

Oh, well, your mind lets go and your body falls apart

Hold your heart, clutch to your chest, love

The icy sting that you’ve always known

Well, you said you won’t go, you said won’t go

‘Cause it’s all down from the way things are

You said you won’t go, you said you won’t go

For this life, in this life

Now that the heart is stalling

Now that your hands and your body clutch the soil

Now that the beast is calling from a foreign shore

Now that the weight has fallen

Well your mind lets go and your body falls apart

Oh, well, your mind lets go and your body falls apart

Step outside, close your eyes

The weight of the world is clear

BACK TO LYRICS

Well, the rain came down, when the night came out

And you always thought it would get much easier

Take your old man’s advice, and prepare your young heart

‘Cause when the war, it shakes, well, the light, it stops

We’re miles and miles from the promised land, dear

But, I swear to god, we’re already here

Take your old man’s advice, and prepare your young heart

Take your old man’s advice, and prepare your young heart

The weight of the world is resting on your back

And everyone you know says it gets much easier

When the weight of the world falls slack

Kick up your feet and let’s move forever

I'll set the sail if you lift the tether

All of the times that we've shared together

All of the sounds, in all kinds of weather

This is the way it should be forever

This is the way it could be forever

Well the world is a wild and a wondrous place

(Well, the world is wild, my love)

And your heart, my love, it has no need to break right now

(And your heart, my love, has no need to break)

Shake your old man’s advice and prepare your young heart

(Shake your old man’s advice and prepare your young heart)

‘Cause when the war it shakes, well, the light, it stops

The weight of the world is resting on your back

And everyone you know says it gets much easier

When the weight of the world falls slack

Let’s kick up our feet and let’s move forever

I'll set the sail if you lift the tether

All of the times that we've shared together

All of the sounds, in all kinds of weather

This is the way it should be forever

This is the way it could be forever

This is the way it should be forever

This is the way it could be forever

And what are we waiting for?

For the band to play us off?

And what are we waiting for?

For the band to play us off?

Kick up your feet and let’s move forever

I'll set the sail if you lift the tether

All of the times that we've shared together

All of the sounds in all kinds of weather

This is the way it should be forever

This is the way it could be forever

This is the way it should be for...

BACK TO LYRICS

And the wind blows through the windows

And the night grows by its shadows, my love

Now, it comes

Like timid lovers making love

I watched you swaying from above

And pulled you close into my arms

Oh, the shake, the let go

Oh, this night, the warm glow we know

Here in this place of reason

This ever changing season

Hearts and minds are made

To evaporate

Oh, the sweetness of your warm kiss

Makes my heart twitch

Makes the world shift

And here, tonight

I want you here, love, by my side,

However dark, however light

I want you here for all my life

And, oh, the shake, the let go

And oh, this night, the warm glow we know

Here in this place of reason

This ever changing season

Hearts and minds are made

Here in this place of wonder

This ever changing blunder

Now the ground gives way

And we evaporate

And, oh, the shake, the let go

Of all the years we won’t know

How we reach through the dark

Or a life not meant to be

And now, the ground gives way

And we evaporate

BACK TO LYRICS

Baby, you've got your legs

Baby, you've got your legs

So walk yourself outside

You best go run and hide

Oh, you better be, better be gone

Baby, you've got your arms

Baby, you've got your arms

So wrap yourself up tight

And move on for the night

Oh, you better be, better be gone

‘Cause baby, you've got your hands

Oh, baby, you've got your hands

So take your things and go

And move on down this road

Oh, you better be, better be gone

‘Cause baby, you’ve got my heart

Oh, baby, you've got my heart

So take your wretched bones

And move out on your own

Oh, you better be, better be gone

Baby, you've got your legs

Baby, you've got your legs

So walk yourself outside

And move on for the night

Oh, you better be, better be gone

‘Cause baby, you’ve got my heart

Oh, baby, you've got my heart

So take my love and go

And move out on your own

Oh, you better be, better be gone

BACK TO LYRICS

Come or go, we belong together

Lying here forever

In the cold, cold, cold

Lay low, clutch your limbs forever

Lying here together

In the cold, cold, cold

And the war, it carries on

And our hearts, they echo strong

With a silent tick

We whimper and fall

Take your time, and take it slow

Take your breath, and feel it go

Come or go, we belong together

Lying here forever

In the cold, cold, cold

Lay low, shake your limbs forever

Lying here together

In the cold, cold, cold

And the war, it carries on

And our hearts, they echo strong

With a silent tick

We whimper and fall

Take your breath, and take it slow

Feel your heart, and let it go

The ground it shakes

And the silence breaks

And you know

And now the weight

Such a bitter taste

Well, it grows

I will be there when you want

I will be there when you want

As the days rush along

I will be there when you want

I will be there when you want

As the night rushes on

And the day turns to dawn

Come or go we belong together

Lying here forever

In the cold, cold, cold, cold

Lay low, shake your limbs forever

Lying here together

In the cold

In the cold

In the cold

In the cold, cold, cold
