Indecision lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Long days, come alive
I take it in through my eyes
Long days of paper tigers
They ate all the words of the wise
Now my spirit and bones take me
Straight to a fork in the road
Now my spirit and bones take me
Somewhere I've never known
And if I face indecision
Don't let me face it alone
Just take me straight to Virginia
Back to the faces of home
Long days, fade away
I take it in through my eyes
Sometimes survival's the milestone
Electrified like a lightning tree
Take these spirit and bones
And catapult from the ground
What doesn't throw you or burn you
Will surely turn you around
But if I face indecision
Don't let me face it alone
Just take me straight to Virginia
Back to the places I know
And if I face indecision
Don't let me face it alone
Just take me straight to Virginia
Back to the faces of home
Long days, come alive
I face the trail of Old Lonesome Pine
I catch a glimpse, flickers of brilliance
Straight ahead for what's left behind
Long days, fade away
I hope to see them again
Sometimes survival's the milestone
I may get lost
But I will know where I've been
Know where I've been
I know where I am right now
I take it in through my eyes
Long days of paper tigers
They ate all the words of the wise
Now my spirit and bones take me
Straight to a fork in the road
Now my spirit and bones take me
Somewhere I've never known
And if I face indecision
Don't let me face it alone
Just take me straight to Virginia
Back to the faces of home
Long days, fade away
I take it in through my eyes
Sometimes survival's the milestone
Electrified like a lightning tree
Take these spirit and bones
And catapult from the ground
What doesn't throw you or burn you
Will surely turn you around
But if I face indecision
Don't let me face it alone
Just take me straight to Virginia
Back to the places I know
And if I face indecision
Don't let me face it alone
Just take me straight to Virginia
Back to the faces of home
Long days, come alive
I face the trail of Old Lonesome Pine
I catch a glimpse, flickers of brilliance
Straight ahead for what's left behind
Long days, fade away
I hope to see them again
Sometimes survival's the milestone
I may get lost
But I will know where I've been
Know where I've been
I know where I am right now
Another Man's Woman lyrics - Carbon Leaf
I fell in love with another man;s woman
Another man's woman's got a hold on me
I'm on my knees, I cannot see
She came out of the sun just like a deity
She came out of the cold and she is melting me
I fell in love with another man's woman
Another man's woman's got a hold on me
She's swarming in my head just like a buzz of bees
She's hit me like a cyclone on the 7 seas
She came in from the rain and
She's drowning me
Adrift and marrooned on a splinter at sea
Washed up in the desert and there's nothing to drink
And its no surprise that nothing rhymes with womn
Adrift and marooned on a splinted sea
Washed up in the desert and theres nothing to drink
Well, Oh Lord, I'm sure your bored of forgiving me
But don't you see...
I fell in love with another man's woman
Another man's womans got a hold on me
A match in the rain
A moth to the flame
A pleasure-seekin' yahoo with a penchant for pain
A double-decker bus of trouble, I'm in the way
I fell in love with another mans woman
Another man's woman has a hold on me
I painted over truth with my tear-stained lies
I took all of the honey 'til the honeycomb dry
These fantasies could make a dead man rise
Another man's woman's got a hold on me
I'm on my knees, I cannot see
She came out of the sun just like a deity
She came out of the cold and she is melting me
I fell in love with another man's woman
Another man's woman's got a hold on me
She's swarming in my head just like a buzz of bees
She's hit me like a cyclone on the 7 seas
She came in from the rain and
She's drowning me
Adrift and marrooned on a splinter at sea
Washed up in the desert and there's nothing to drink
And its no surprise that nothing rhymes with womn
Adrift and marooned on a splinted sea
Washed up in the desert and theres nothing to drink
Well, Oh Lord, I'm sure your bored of forgiving me
But don't you see...
I fell in love with another man's woman
Another man's womans got a hold on me
A match in the rain
A moth to the flame
A pleasure-seekin' yahoo with a penchant for pain
A double-decker bus of trouble, I'm in the way
I fell in love with another mans woman
Another man's woman has a hold on me
I painted over truth with my tear-stained lies
I took all of the honey 'til the honeycomb dry
These fantasies could make a dead man rise
Miss Hollywood lyric s- Carbon Leaf
Shootin' Stars. Gilded Age
Yeah just spoll your dreams to me
And we just hide away
You can stay if you believe
Just a leap of faith
Across a busy Boulevard of Broken Dreams
And I dream about her even though I never should...
Miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood, miss hollywood
Yeah I would ride into the sunset if I could
Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood
So slow to fade...
Check all the Hip across the street
Taking turns unlocking doors to fame by prozimity
Golden dreams flow like water
and the water always wins, for good or bad
Once you let it in
[Chorus]
Don't cry on Oscar night
Lifted off from Mother Earth
To find her elusive smile
You can't buy authentic vibe
But you can checkout all the detours off the 405
But you can stay if you believe
But spinning gold is never easy
When shooting stars are your dreams
Up in the sku a star's just a star
But funny thing, when looking up
It seems to follow you wherever you are
And I dream about her even though I never should
Miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood
Yeah I could ride into the sunset if I could
Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood
And I dream about her even though I never should
Miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood
Yeah I would ride into the sun like Clint Eastwood
Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood
So slow to fade... So slow to fade... So slow to fade...
Yeah just spoll your dreams to me
And we just hide away
You can stay if you believe
Just a leap of faith
Across a busy Boulevard of Broken Dreams
And I dream about her even though I never should...
Miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood, miss hollywood
Yeah I would ride into the sunset if I could
Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood
So slow to fade...
Check all the Hip across the street
Taking turns unlocking doors to fame by prozimity
Golden dreams flow like water
and the water always wins, for good or bad
Once you let it in
[Chorus]
Don't cry on Oscar night
Lifted off from Mother Earth
To find her elusive smile
You can't buy authentic vibe
But you can checkout all the detours off the 405
But you can stay if you believe
But spinning gold is never easy
When shooting stars are your dreams
Up in the sku a star's just a star
But funny thing, when looking up
It seems to follow you wherever you are
And I dream about her even though I never should
Miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood
Yeah I could ride into the sunset if I could
Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood
And I dream about her even though I never should
Miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood
Yeah I would ride into the sun like Clint Eastwood
Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood
So slow to fade... So slow to fade... So slow to fade...
Cinnamindy lyrics - Carbon Leaf
She longs for Peace
Its her revenge
She's a stark-white Pale Horse Rider
And Hell's just around the bend
She's kids to raise
She's got bills to feed
And her pride is a higher horse
Than some bum of a man upon a steed
The handle's rough,
She works it smooth
Hardened by the pace
The handds get though and it transfers through
Before the lines can reach her face
She flies like a kite held at the other end
Tuggin; dont on her cinnamon threads
Shes shreddin' in the wind
But she reads The Bible
She believes in the light
She thumbs through the pages
Til the Good Book smolders and ignites
She cries late at night
No one to hold her tight
Like she should be.. Cinnamindy
Hoarse and sore, her scratchy voice
Saws thru a song like a rusty cello
Now I lay me down to sleep
Lights out, time to dream
Her days are fine
She makes everybody smile
With her raspy laugh
The days are long
But she blows it all off
With a wink and a little sass
She flies like a kite...
Its her revenge
She's a stark-white Pale Horse Rider
And Hell's just around the bend
She's kids to raise
She's got bills to feed
And her pride is a higher horse
Than some bum of a man upon a steed
The handle's rough,
She works it smooth
Hardened by the pace
The handds get though and it transfers through
Before the lines can reach her face
She flies like a kite held at the other end
Tuggin; dont on her cinnamon threads
Shes shreddin' in the wind
But she reads The Bible
She believes in the light
She thumbs through the pages
Til the Good Book smolders and ignites
She cries late at night
No one to hold her tight
Like she should be.. Cinnamindy
Hoarse and sore, her scratchy voice
Saws thru a song like a rusty cello
Now I lay me down to sleep
Lights out, time to dream
Her days are fine
She makes everybody smile
With her raspy laugh
The days are long
But she blows it all off
With a wink and a little sass
She flies like a kite...
Lake Of Silver Bells lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Float from the balcony
We ride the pine top swells
Down from the old hotel
On the Lake of Silver Bells
Leading is lonely
When you're dancing through derisions
So much left for giving
In the year of the living dangerously happy
On the Lake of Silver Bells
Light flickers by
A hundred suns hehind the trees
Melts us in a lullaby
Our eyelids are like movie screens
And we close our eyes
And feel the warmth come into frame
We close our eyes
Until our dreamsbecome one and the same
So much left for giving
In the year of living dangerously happy
On the Lake of Silver Bells
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
To muffled chimes out on the lake
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
On the Lake of Silver Bells
W've reached a secret place
To rest and reconcile
We close our eyes
The only change is no change for a while
We'll buy the old hotel
And we will make this place our own
And fill each room with sons and daughters
And never be alone
[Chorus]
Looking passed the love you face
You miss the place you never had
But what you need's not just the dream
But somethings on the other end
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
You're much too fast asleep
We ride the pine top swells
Down from the old hotel
On the Lake of Silver Bells
Leading is lonely
When you're dancing through derisions
So much left for giving
In the year of the living dangerously happy
On the Lake of Silver Bells
Light flickers by
A hundred suns hehind the trees
Melts us in a lullaby
Our eyelids are like movie screens
And we close our eyes
And feel the warmth come into frame
We close our eyes
Until our dreamsbecome one and the same
So much left for giving
In the year of living dangerously happy
On the Lake of Silver Bells
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
To muffled chimes out on the lake
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
On the Lake of Silver Bells
W've reached a secret place
To rest and reconcile
We close our eyes
The only change is no change for a while
We'll buy the old hotel
And we will make this place our own
And fill each room with sons and daughters
And never be alone
[Chorus]
Looking passed the love you face
You miss the place you never had
But what you need's not just the dream
But somethings on the other end
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
You're much too fast asleep
What Have You Learned? lyrics - Carbon Leaf
What have you learned, can you remember?
What would you like for me to do?
Everything you need from me is in your hands
And everything else is up to you
You’re like a butterfly on a windy day
You use directions in a roundabout way
What have you learned,
Now that you’ve been burned
By the guy who used to be the center of your eye
And you’re blown away by your own hurricane
And you wonder why
Cast away and you’re looking through the wreckage for your pride,
But you can’t salvage what you don’t supply
What have you learned,
Now that you’ve been burned
By the girl who used to be the center of your world
Who used to be your center of gravity
And now you’re so unsure
You’re like a squirrel out in the middle of the road
You’re halfway there but don’t know which way to go
What have you learned
Now that you’ve been burned
By the one who used to be the one and only
If you could see your sinking dignity
You’re like the waves beating on the sandy shore
You swear you’ve been there once or twice before
What have you learned?
What have you learned?
What have you learned?
What have you learned, can you remember?
Now that they don’t know what to do
Now that they miss your heart of gold so badly
This is what I’d say if I were you
It’s in a treasure chest that’s buried in the sand
But the “x” does not mark the spot and I do not need a hand
And if I burst out into flames without your guidance anymore
Just scatter me across the sea and you can kiss my ashes from the shore
Nananana

Mexico lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Perhaps I’ve never tried that hard to see
A palm tree swinging lazy in the breeze
Perhaps I looked away too many times
Just ignoring all the signs
Riding high on a temporary vibe
Life and love are messy most of the time
Practical minds breeding practical lives
Leave it all behind
The ocean breeze, the palm trees, and the sunshine
Excuses that a pair of eyes can’t hide
Perhaps this paradise is my decline
Riding high on a temporary vibe
Life and love are messy most of the time
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feeling, and I’d never let you go
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go
Down in Mexico
We could be drinkin cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We both know what this could be or pretend that it’s not happening
Float forever, take a trip with me
Live forever in a postcard where it lives and breathes in blue and green
And roaring up a gentle breeze,
We’re riding high on a temporary vibe,
Life and love are messy most of the time
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feeling, and I’d never let you go
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go
Down in mexico
We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We should be drinking margaritas in a foreign buena vista
And it sure is good to see you once again
A palm tree swinging lazy in the breeze
Perhaps I looked away too many times
Just ignoring all the signs
Riding high on a temporary vibe
Life and love are messy most of the time
Practical minds breeding practical lives
Leave it all behind
The ocean breeze, the palm trees, and the sunshine
Excuses that a pair of eyes can’t hide
Perhaps this paradise is my decline
Riding high on a temporary vibe
Life and love are messy most of the time
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feeling, and I’d never let you go
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go
Down in Mexico
We could be drinkin cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We both know what this could be or pretend that it’s not happening
Float forever, take a trip with me
Live forever in a postcard where it lives and breathes in blue and green
And roaring up a gentle breeze,
We’re riding high on a temporary vibe,
Life and love are messy most of the time
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feeling, and I’d never let you go
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go
Down in mexico
We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We should be drinking margaritas in a foreign buena vista
And it sure is good to see you once again

Drops Of Rain lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Drops of rain
Oh the sun wants to break
Through April just wants
Her lazy saturday
New lovers peak
From their nesting eves
Some secrets to keep
The spill out everywhere
On the corners. Out in the streets
Just a hoody affair
A sweatshirt morning everywhere
Drops of rain on the Coffee window pane
I know I won't get hooked on simple days
If ignorance is bliss my love
I never would forget
What I knew when I was young
Man, I know I can't hold on
To April drops of rain
And then come-what-may...
But its hard to look away
Life is rich, Life is rich
Only if we live through its experience
No thought for a while
Just a quick dix on a smile
Spring is spring, forever young
Its just its job... get in and out
And then its job is done...
Before Summer's born
We're caught between Human Condition frailty
Heaven and Hell, Love and Lust
Oh well... So much to learn
[Chorus]
Drops of rain flip flop belly ring
Pull back hair I really don't care
Just a hoody affair. A hoody affair
A hoody kind of thing
Drops of rain flip flop belly ring
Pull back hair walk nowhere
Just a hoody affair. A hoody affair
A hoody kind of thing
Oh the sun wants to break
Through April just wants
Her lazy saturday
New lovers peak
From their nesting eves
Some secrets to keep
The spill out everywhere
On the corners. Out in the streets
Just a hoody affair
A sweatshirt morning everywhere
Drops of rain on the Coffee window pane
I know I won't get hooked on simple days
If ignorance is bliss my love
I never would forget
What I knew when I was young
Man, I know I can't hold on
To April drops of rain
And then come-what-may...
But its hard to look away
Life is rich, Life is rich
Only if we live through its experience
No thought for a while
Just a quick dix on a smile
Spring is spring, forever young
Its just its job... get in and out
And then its job is done...
Before Summer's born
We're caught between Human Condition frailty
Heaven and Hell, Love and Lust
Oh well... So much to learn
[Chorus]
Drops of rain flip flop belly ring
Pull back hair I really don't care
Just a hoody affair. A hoody affair
A hoody kind of thing
Drops of rain flip flop belly ring
Pull back hair walk nowhere
Just a hoody affair. A hoody affair
A hoody kind of thing
Meltdown lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Hey, hey, how's it going? What you up to? How you been?
I see you're shooting ducks down in a shooting pen again
Yeah, I could use the change, I've scraped the wishing well
And I, I bought the excuse that someone's joy should be my hell
Thaw me out and warm my heart before I get consumed
By the angry bits of broken dreams in my self-inflicted wounds
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Please excuse the way I nickel and dime
It seems I spend my tender mercies all the time
Should I base my decisions on the feelings that I feel
Or base my feelings on decisions and pretend the feeling's real?
I'll wait for good times and peace to live and love
Pretty soon I'll find my time's run out and my heart's turned to dust
Cause the world keeps turning whether you live or you die
You can go it alone or leave your footprints on some hearts and minds
And sometimes they tear and sometimes they bleed
And sometimes a heart-felt whipping is just the thing you need
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in (Yeah, yeah, yeah...)
Oh, love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
I see you're shooting ducks down in a shooting pen again
Yeah, I could use the change, I've scraped the wishing well
And I, I bought the excuse that someone's joy should be my hell
Thaw me out and warm my heart before I get consumed
By the angry bits of broken dreams in my self-inflicted wounds
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Please excuse the way I nickel and dime
It seems I spend my tender mercies all the time
Should I base my decisions on the feelings that I feel
Or base my feelings on decisions and pretend the feeling's real?
I'll wait for good times and peace to live and love
Pretty soon I'll find my time's run out and my heart's turned to dust
Cause the world keeps turning whether you live or you die
You can go it alone or leave your footprints on some hearts and minds
And sometimes they tear and sometimes they bleed
And sometimes a heart-felt whipping is just the thing you need
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in (Yeah, yeah, yeah...)
Oh, love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Pink lyrics - Carbon Leaf
So, she catches herself
When she looks down, or too far away
She knows the pain in her side
Is just a mirage and mirages will fade
And so it begins, the mirage settles in
But the sky is light pink before violet
Cause everything's now, everything's now
She notices everything
As she puts on the pink
Her world turns to pink
So, she shows all her teeth when
She's taking the photos, she knows she has friends
She wants colors like these to
Remind her of being a young girl again
She quietly pleads, God just remove
Everything that the doctors don't see
Cause everything's now, everything's now
Please remove everything that's not me
And she puts on the pink
Her world turns to pink
She puts on the pink
Her world turns to pink
She puts on the pink [7x]
She puts on the pink...
When she looks down, or too far away
She knows the pain in her side
Is just a mirage and mirages will fade
And so it begins, the mirage settles in
But the sky is light pink before violet
Cause everything's now, everything's now
She notices everything
As she puts on the pink
Her world turns to pink
So, she shows all her teeth when
She's taking the photos, she knows she has friends
She wants colors like these to
Remind her of being a young girl again
She quietly pleads, God just remove
Everything that the doctors don't see
Cause everything's now, everything's now
Please remove everything that's not me
And she puts on the pink
Her world turns to pink
She puts on the pink
Her world turns to pink
She puts on the pink [7x]
She puts on the pink...
Snowfall Music lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Nighttime bridges breathe
Ebb and flow
Cars blink by like a metronome
As the head for home
City glows up into the sky
Winter ribbon clouds
Melt down into grey sky night
Electric with light
And if you're burning like a candle all alone
And if we're burning like 2 candles
With no window to call home
Let it snow
Nighttime evergreens. Fade and glow
All the kids smell snow...it will fall
The kids know it all
Night sky. City sleep
Snow globe halos on the lamps in the street
Ebb and Flow. Fade and Glow
And you never know. You never know
If you're burning like a candle all alone
And if we're burning like 2 candles
With no window to call home
Let it snow. Let is snow over everything
When you hear the sound
Let it snow. Let the snowfall music
Snow its feathers down
Ebb and flow
Cars blink by like a metronome
As the head for home
City glows up into the sky
Winter ribbon clouds
Melt down into grey sky night
Electric with light
And if you're burning like a candle all alone
And if we're burning like 2 candles
With no window to call home
Let it snow
Nighttime evergreens. Fade and glow
All the kids smell snow...it will fall
The kids know it all
Night sky. City sleep
Snow globe halos on the lamps in the street
Ebb and Flow. Fade and Glow
And you never know. You never know
If you're burning like a candle all alone
And if we're burning like 2 candles
With no window to call home
Let it snow. Let is snow over everything
When you hear the sound
Let it snow. Let the snowfall music
Snow its feathers down
Seed lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Vagabond or a bag of bones?
They lay out loose atop the soil
They lay out and here comes the sun
And the winds to blow me away
Who who are you, who am I
Or who are we if not the seed?
Fire by the riverside
Learn to swim
Or no one gets out of here alive
Vagabond, a bag of bones
A dandelion blown to a thousand homes
With no place to go
But who is to say and who's who to know?
Vagabond a bag of bones
A dandelion blown to a thousand homes
With no place to grow
But who is to say and who's who to know?
Wind in the trees
The rain comes thundering down
It takes some water to make a cloud
It takes some seeds to sow the ground
'Cause even a seed
Needs to spend its time in the dirt to grow
But it takes motion to make a sound
It takes getting lost to be found
[chorus]
A shallow grave
Return to dreams
It's over my head
It's all make-believe
In my mind... in my mind
When my thoughts have gone to seed
I will return them to my dreams
Till I return
I return to dreams in my mind
I can hear the thunderclouds moving on
You weren't invited but you're welcome to come along
I can hear the sounds of the thunderclouds moving on
You weren't invited but you're welcome to come along.
They lay out loose atop the soil
They lay out and here comes the sun
And the winds to blow me away
Who who are you, who am I
Or who are we if not the seed?
Fire by the riverside
Learn to swim
Or no one gets out of here alive
Vagabond, a bag of bones
A dandelion blown to a thousand homes
With no place to go
But who is to say and who's who to know?
Vagabond a bag of bones
A dandelion blown to a thousand homes
With no place to grow
But who is to say and who's who to know?
Wind in the trees
The rain comes thundering down
It takes some water to make a cloud
It takes some seeds to sow the ground
'Cause even a seed
Needs to spend its time in the dirt to grow
But it takes motion to make a sound
It takes getting lost to be found
[chorus]
A shallow grave
Return to dreams
It's over my head
It's all make-believe
In my mind... in my mind
When my thoughts have gone to seed
I will return them to my dreams
Till I return
I return to dreams in my mind
I can hear the thunderclouds moving on
You weren't invited but you're welcome to come along
I can hear the sounds of the thunderclouds moving on
You weren't invited but you're welcome to come along.
Tip Toe lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Tip toe, tip toe... tip toe, tip toe... out of your heart.
And I'm not that proud, I'm not that proud at all,
But I don't know how to gently break your fall.
Forgive me I'm a coward and a stray,
And I don't know how to boldly walk away.
Forgive me I'm a coward and a stray,
And I don't know how to boldly walk away.
So I tip toe, tip toe... out of your heart.
Once upon a summertime is gone,
Wide awake but drifting off and on.
I'm a boat without an anchor or an oar,
You're a cottage sitting pretty by the shore.
When love is on fire, I'm a bird on a wire.
It's easier to stay, high above the way,
It's easier to stay, high above the way,
Of your heart.
And I'm not that proud, I'm not that proud at all,
But I don't know how to gently break your fall.
Forgive me I'm a coward and a stray,
And I don't know how to boldly walk away.
I'm a boat without an anchor or an oar,
You're a cottage sitting pretty by the shore.
I'm a boat without an anchor or an oar,
Spare me boy I've heard it all before.
So I just tip toe, tip toe.. out of my...
And I'm not that proud, I'm not that proud at all,
But I don't know how to gently break your fall.
Forgive me I'm a coward and a stray,
And I don't know how to boldly walk away.
Forgive me I'm a coward and a stray,
And I don't know how to boldly walk away.
So I tip toe, tip toe... out of your heart.
Once upon a summertime is gone,
Wide awake but drifting off and on.
I'm a boat without an anchor or an oar,
You're a cottage sitting pretty by the shore.
When love is on fire, I'm a bird on a wire.
It's easier to stay, high above the way,
It's easier to stay, high above the way,
Of your heart.
And I'm not that proud, I'm not that proud at all,
But I don't know how to gently break your fall.
Forgive me I'm a coward and a stray,
And I don't know how to boldly walk away.

Learn To Fly lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Hello, good-bye
Higher you fly
Into the world
I awoke
This mornin', with pourin' rain in my heart
As I fall apart today
But you make your way
And I'll rise
I will rise if in my mind
But I can see you fly away
I can see the sun upon your face
I can feel your heart and I can hear you cry
And as I fall apart I learn to fly
A dirty bird like me will learn to fly
Hello, good-bye
Two birds hover inside of a heart factory
Holding on to recovery
Fly away or repaired and preparing to go on your way
And I know I'm on my own
But you make your way
And I'll rise
I will rise if in my mind
But I can see you fly away
I can see the sun upon your face
I can feel your heart and I can hear you cry
And as I fall apart I learn to fly
A dirty bird like me will learn to fly
Fly
And everything that I love you for remains
High above the clouds and the cleansing rains
You make your way
And I will rise if in my mind
You make your way
You make your way
But I can see you fly away
I can see the sun upon your face
I can feel your heart and I can hear you cry
A dirty bird like me will learn to fly
Higher you fly
Into the world
I awoke
This mornin', with pourin' rain in my heart
As I fall apart today
But you make your way
And I'll rise
I will rise if in my mind
But I can see you fly away
I can see the sun upon your face
I can feel your heart and I can hear you cry
And as I fall apart I learn to fly
A dirty bird like me will learn to fly
Hello, good-bye
Two birds hover inside of a heart factory
Holding on to recovery
Fly away or repaired and preparing to go on your way
And I know I'm on my own
But you make your way
And I'll rise
I will rise if in my mind
But I can see you fly away
I can see the sun upon your face
I can feel your heart and I can hear you cry
And as I fall apart I learn to fly
A dirty bird like me will learn to fly
Fly
And everything that I love you for remains
High above the clouds and the cleansing rains
You make your way
And I will rise if in my mind
You make your way
You make your way
But I can see you fly away
I can see the sun upon your face
I can feel your heart and I can hear you cry
A dirty bird like me will learn to fly
Love Loss Hope Repeat lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Take a walk down town
And dream with me
We'll walk the parks and the empty streets
You know the seasons otta Be
Love Loss Hope Repeat
We're alone in a crowded room
Silhouetted in and ready to bloom
You know the seasons otta be
Love loss hope repeat
Love loss hope repeat
And when then high wind blows everything
Like the lion attacking spring
I love you more than I'll ever let on
And that's a fault of mine I'm workin on
I'm workin on
Take a walk downtown
Remember the days that would never end
So much time you couldn't comprehend
When the sun so slow to fade
And tomorrow was more of the same
And the easiest April Rain
Was enough to ignite the flame
And you fade out with a grin
With the company you were in
And when the high wind blows everything
Like a lion attacking the spring
I love you more than I'll ever let on
And that's a fault of mine I'm workin on
I'm workin on
And when the sky's a dusky hue
And everything is bottle blue
I love you more than I ever let on
And that's a fault of mine I m workin on
I'm workin on
Take a walk down town
And jump the train line down
And then turn around at the edge of town
Or continue down to the other side
And ride and ride till we see our lives
And see our lives from outside our city walls
And darkened halls
And the lonely calls
And when we turn around
And head back in
Everything will be new again
Everything will be new
And when the high wind blows everything
Like the lion attacking the spring
I love you more than I'll ever let on
And that's a fault of mine I'm workin on
I'm workin on
And when the sky's a dusky hue
And everything is bottle blue
I love you more than I ever let on
And that's a fault of mine I m workin on
I'm workin on
Take a walk downtown
And dream with me
We'll walk the parks and the empty streets
You know the seasons otta Be
Love Loss Hope Repeat
We're alone in a crowded room
Silhouetted in and ready to bloom
You know the seasons otta be
Love loss hope repeat
Love loss hope repeat
And when then high wind blows everything
Like the lion attacking spring
I love you more than I'll ever let on
And that's a fault of mine I'm workin on
I'm workin on
Take a walk downtown
Remember the days that would never end
So much time you couldn't comprehend
When the sun so slow to fade
And tomorrow was more of the same

Take a walk downtown
Under The Wire lyrics - Carbon Leaf
I need to feel redeemed.
I'm going sideways down,
An ever-winding road...
With an ever unbinding load,
Of a one-track mind,
Of a love that's lost somehow,
Of a flashing sign,
I'm under the wire now.
Under the wire,
I'm a train down the line.
Nothing left to lose or gain,
But distance over time.
Under the wire,
Over all that we've been through.
Tell me what to do to get to you.
I need to feel the breeze,
Of a new day's dawn.
I need to be released,
From the cold steel rail I'm on.
Shake the love for a woman.
Break the emotion overdrive.
Take the train to oblivion,
At the crossing of our lives.
Under the wire,
I'm a train down the line.
Nothing left to lose or gain,
But distance over time.
Under the wire,
Over all that we've been through.
Tell me what to do to get to you.
I need to feel redeemed.
I wear my heart on a grimy sleeve.
I bear the pressure of oil and moving steam.
Unaware of my gaining speed.
I'm prepared to move ahead, take the lead...
Under the wire,
I'm a train down the line.
With nothing left to lose or gain,
But distance over time.
Under the wire,
Over all that we've been through.
Tell me what to do to get to you.
I am a steel freight train...
I am a train wreck, hauling back to you.
I'm going sideways down,
An ever-winding road...
With an ever unbinding load,
Of a one-track mind,
Of a love that's lost somehow,
Of a flashing sign,
I'm under the wire now.
Under the wire,
I'm a train down the line.
Nothing left to lose or gain,
But distance over time.
Under the wire,
Over all that we've been through.
Tell me what to do to get to you.
I need to feel the breeze,
Of a new day's dawn.
I need to be released,
From the cold steel rail I'm on.
Shake the love for a woman.
Break the emotion overdrive.
Take the train to oblivion,
At the crossing of our lives.
Under the wire,
I'm a train down the line.
Nothing left to lose or gain,
But distance over time.
Under the wire,
Over all that we've been through.
Tell me what to do to get to you.
I need to feel redeemed.
I wear my heart on a grimy sleeve.
I bear the pressure of oil and moving steam.
Unaware of my gaining speed.
I'm prepared to move ahead, take the lead...
Under the wire,
I'm a train down the line.
With nothing left to lose or gain,
But distance over time.
Under the wire,
Over all that we've been through.
Tell me what to do to get to you.
I am a steel freight train...
I am a train wreck, hauling back to you.
Royal One lyrics - Carbon Leaf
I'm on a roll,
And I know where I've been.
Heart and soul got traded again.
Moments of fashion not meant to stay...
I live in the past like it was yesterday.
Out of control,
How much can things change in one day?
Another morning breaks
And I've got nothin' to show.
And I can't get lost
If I don't know where to go.
Solder my heart back into my frame.
Could you color it red?
Could you feed it the flame?
And I don't know why,
I tried to race the burning sun.
My eyes were so wide,
I went on the run,
And lost my royal one.
Clock on the wall has stalled,
And things are moving too fast,
As chaos revolves,
All around this shattered heart of glass.
And all the roads to happy years,
Are paved with the ice
From the darkest tears...
But brightened by the ones
Around you now, now, now.
Another morning breaks
And I've got nothin' to show.
And I can't get lost
If I don't know where to go.
Solder my heart back into my frame.
Could you color it red?
Could you feed it the flame?
And I don't know why
I tried to race the burning sun.
My eyes were so wide,
I went on the run,
And lost my royal one.
And I don't know why
I tried to race the burning sun.
My eyes were so wide,
When I turned
To see what I had done...
I could not believe it,
I tried to race the burning sun.
I could not believe it...
I went on the run,
And lost my royal one.
And I know where I've been.
Heart and soul got traded again.
Moments of fashion not meant to stay...
I live in the past like it was yesterday.
Out of control,
How much can things change in one day?
Another morning breaks
And I've got nothin' to show.
And I can't get lost
If I don't know where to go.
Solder my heart back into my frame.
Could you color it red?
Could you feed it the flame?
And I don't know why,
I tried to race the burning sun.
My eyes were so wide,
I went on the run,
And lost my royal one.
Clock on the wall has stalled,
And things are moving too fast,
As chaos revolves,
All around this shattered heart of glass.
And all the roads to happy years,
Are paved with the ice
From the darkest tears...
But brightened by the ones
Around you now, now, now.
Another morning breaks
And I've got nothin' to show.
And I can't get lost
If I don't know where to go.
Solder my heart back into my frame.
Could you color it red?
Could you feed it the flame?
And I don't know why
I tried to race the burning sun.
My eyes were so wide,
I went on the run,
And lost my royal one.
And I don't know why
I tried to race the burning sun.
My eyes were so wide,
When I turned
To see what I had done...
I could not believe it,
I tried to race the burning sun.
I could not believe it...
I went on the run,
And lost my royal one.
A Girl And Her Horse lyrics - Carbon Leaf
You lean forward to go
You pull back to go slow
These are the horse basics
You should know
There's no use to wait
A girl and her horse will never separate
You were done before
The gun at the starting gate
And away she rides
To the great unknown
You can wave goodbye
And spend some time on your own
And wonder why
Sometimes you find you fall far behind
On the course
Some things are best left
Between a girl and her horse
With no words to say
A girl and her horse can communicate
Cause motion is motion
And nothing's up for to debate
And away she rides
To the great beyond
You can wave goodbye
To a girl and her horse with a bond
You can't deny
Sometimes you find
You fall far behind on the course
Some things are best left
Between a girl and her horse
Sometimes you find
You can't cross the line on the course
Some things are best left
Between a girl and her horse
You lean forward to go
You pull back to go slow
The rest is anyone's guess
Don't you know
And away she rides
With the best in show
You can wave goodbye
A girl and her horse
Have a bond you'll never know
And away she rides
WIth the best in show you know
Unicorns don't exist of course
But every girl in this world has a horse
Sometimes you find
You fall far behind on the course
Some things are best left
Between a girl and her horse
Sometimes you find you can't cross
The line on the course
Some things are best left
Between a girl and her horse
Texas Stars lyrics - Carbon Lead
Breathe in the night
Let it know just who you are
How you wish the weight of the world
Would unleash your shooting star
Look up at the light
Have you seen that star before?
How quickly dreams can change
When constellations are at war
Hey lonestar, it's alright
Did you look up to find
You were left behind?
Did your heroes and stars fade out?
Have you been let down
By a lover, father, or friend?
Did the myth of greatness leave your side
With no desire to defend?
Did their chariots of fire burn you in the end?
Did you look up to find
You were left behind?
Did your heroes and stars fade?
Did the one you love
Cradle you up above?
Where the heroes and stars played?
Breathe in the night
Let it know just who you are
There's still a girl inside of you
Connecting star to star
I'm glad to see you're taking flight
I'll spot the brightest one
So breathe, breathe, breathe in the night
Your journey's just begun
Did you look up to find
You were left behind?
Did your heroes and stars fade?
Did the one you love
Cradle you up above?
Where the heroes and stars played?
You're a lullaby for the Texas sky tonight
Your heroes and stars are bright
So hey lonestar, there you are
Shining bright in the dark
Don't wait for heroes and stars
To save your day
Let it know just who you are
How you wish the weight of the world
Would unleash your shooting star
Look up at the light
Have you seen that star before?
How quickly dreams can change
When constellations are at war
Hey lonestar, it's alright
Did you look up to find
You were left behind?
Did your heroes and stars fade out?
Have you been let down
By a lover, father, or friend?
Did the myth of greatness leave your side
With no desire to defend?
Did their chariots of fire burn you in the end?
Did you look up to find
You were left behind?
Did your heroes and stars fade?
Did the one you love
Cradle you up above?
Where the heroes and stars played?
Breathe in the night
Let it know just who you are
There's still a girl inside of you
Connecting star to star
I'm glad to see you're taking flight
I'll spot the brightest one
So breathe, breathe, breathe in the night
Your journey's just begun
Did you look up to find
You were left behind?
Did your heroes and stars fade?
Did the one you love
Cradle you up above?
Where the heroes and stars played?
You're a lullaby for the Texas sky tonight
Your heroes and stars are bright
So hey lonestar, there you are
Shining bright in the dark
Don't wait for heroes and stars
To save your day
Block Of Wood lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Grab your heart
We need to leave
There's no time to cry or grieve
For the fallen family tree
Rise above the flooding plain
Crouching low to dark the flame
Generations against the grain
Up in smoke, down the drain
If the fire, if the flood
Burns the tree and thins the blood
If your tears don't want to dry
I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry
Cut the branch from this tree
Carve a place for you and me
Wooden seat that we can string
From a branch where we can swing
We'll take this block of wood
Carve it down, sand it good
When finished it will be
Souvenir of the family tree
And if the fire, if the flood
Burns the tree and thins the blood
If your tears don't want to dry
I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
I can try
But God help me please
Come save the family tree
My friends are broken all
When falling off the wall
In the ash, I found an ember
Something warm to help remember
A block of wood that used to be
A strong tall family tree
A strong tall family tree
Blowing in the breeze
Cry through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry
We need to leave
There's no time to cry or grieve
For the fallen family tree
Rise above the flooding plain
Crouching low to dark the flame
Generations against the grain
Up in smoke, down the drain
If the fire, if the flood
Burns the tree and thins the blood
If your tears don't want to dry
I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry
Cut the branch from this tree
Carve a place for you and me
Wooden seat that we can string
From a branch where we can swing
We'll take this block of wood
Carve it down, sand it good
When finished it will be
Souvenir of the family tree
And if the fire, if the flood
Burns the tree and thins the blood
If your tears don't want to dry
I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
I can try
But God help me please
Come save the family tree
My friends are broken all
When falling off the wall
In the ash, I found an ember
Something warm to help remember
A block of wood that used to be
A strong tall family tree
A strong tall family tree
Blowing in the breeze
Cry through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry
Comfort lyrics - Carbon Leaf
I raced along an empty highway.
I chased the dawn
And cursed the new day,
Out of town, till nobody was around.
Love came along, my favorite enemy,
We hit head-on.
Why you befriended me... I don't know.
There's no need for letting go
When you've already lost control.
My life is open wide
The more you live, the less you will die.
Outside, floating free,
I'm finally open to see...
Could you be any more comfort to me?
Could you be...
You've figured out the warnings
And the reasons why,
You smoothed me out.
I hope you know there's nothing
I could give,
For showing me how to live.
I don't know how
But you know just how I feel.
Sticking out,
Like a dark horse in a snow white field.
Stirred up by the breeze,
Strong but not at peace,
Free but unreleased.
My life is open wide
The more you live, the less you will die.
Outside, floating free,
I'm finally open to see...
Could you be any more comfort to me?
Could you be any more comfort to me?
Caught up inside, all I wanna be...
Try to survive, all alone,
Outside your company.
Could you be any more comfort to me?
Could you be any more comfort to me?
I chased the dawn
And cursed the new day,
Out of town, till nobody was around.
Love came along, my favorite enemy,
We hit head-on.
Why you befriended me... I don't know.
There's no need for letting go
When you've already lost control.
My life is open wide
The more you live, the less you will die.
Outside, floating free,
I'm finally open to see...
Could you be any more comfort to me?
Could you be...
You've figured out the warnings
And the reasons why,
You smoothed me out.
I hope you know there's nothing
I could give,
For showing me how to live.
I don't know how
But you know just how I feel.
Sticking out,
Like a dark horse in a snow white field.
Stirred up by the breeze,
Strong but not at peace,
Free but unreleased.
My life is open wide
The more you live, the less you will die.
Outside, floating free,
I'm finally open to see...
Could you be any more comfort to me?
Could you be any more comfort to me?
Caught up inside, all I wanna be...
Try to survive, all alone,
Outside your company.
Could you be any more comfort to me?
Could you be any more comfort to me?
The War Was In Color lyrics - Carbon Leaf
I see you've found a box of my things -
Infantries, tanks and smoldering airplane wings.
These old pictures are cool. Tell me some stories
Was it like the old war movies?
Sit down son. Let me fill you in
Where to begin? Let's start with the end
This black and white photo don't capture the skin
From the flash of a gun to a soldier who's done
Trust me grandson
The war was in color
From shipyard to sea, From factory to sky
From rivet to rifle, from boot camp to battle cry
I wore the mask up high on a daylight run
That held my face in its clammy hand
Crawled over coconut logs and corpses in the coral sand
Where to begin? Let's start with the end
This black and white photo don't capture the skin
From the shock of a shell or the memory of smell
If red is for Hell
The war was in color
I held the canvas bag over the railing
The dead released, with the ship still sailing,
Out of our hands and into the swallowing sea
I felt the crossfire stitching up soldiers
Into a blanket of dead, and as the night grows colder
In a window back home, a Blue Star is traded for Gold.
Where to begin? Let's start with the end
This black and white photo don't capture the skin
When metal is churned. And bodies are burned
Victory earned
The War was in color
Now I lay in my grave at age 21
Long before you were born
Before I bore a son
What good did it do?
Well hopefully for you
A world without war
A life full of color
Where to begin? Let's start with the end
This black and white photo never captured my skin
Once it was torn from an enemy thorn
Straight through the core
The war was in color
Bright Lights lyrics - Carbon Leaf
How was I to know?
How was I to feel?
You're leaving all the lights on.
You want me to reveal,
Everything that I hide
From the bright light's glow.
Letting everything go,
To live beyond the shadow of a doubt
I'm riding to your house
There's nothing you can do.
I'll never be without a fading afternoon.
Maybe all we need is something new.
Maybe all we need is nothing we can lose.
So I'm letting everything go,
Letting everything go.
Step inside the lights beyond the shadow of our doubt.
And never find our way out,
We'll never find our way out,
We'll never find our way out of here again.
Long gone days,
Are never so quick to fade.
It took falling away,
To fall on the same page.
Now all we see is bright lights that show,
Everything we need,
And all there is to know.
All there is to know about letting everything go,
Letting everything go,
Step inside the lights beyond the shadow of our doubt.
And never find our way out,
We'll never find our way out,
We'll never find our way out of here again.
Letting everything go,
Letting everything go,
Step inside the lights beyond the shadow of our doubt.
And never find our way out,
We'll never find our way out,
We'll never find our way out of here again.
How was I to feel?
You're leaving all the lights on.
You want me to reveal,
Everything that I hide
From the bright light's glow.
Letting everything go,
To live beyond the shadow of a doubt
I'm riding to your house
There's nothing you can do.
I'll never be without a fading afternoon.
Maybe all we need is something new.
Maybe all we need is nothing we can lose.
So I'm letting everything go,
Letting everything go.
Step inside the lights beyond the shadow of our doubt.
And never find our way out,
We'll never find our way out,
We'll never find our way out of here again.
Long gone days,
Are never so quick to fade.
It took falling away,
To fall on the same page.
Now all we see is bright lights that show,
Everything we need,
And all there is to know.
All there is to know about letting everything go,
Letting everything go,
Step inside the lights beyond the shadow of our doubt.
And never find our way out,
We'll never find our way out,
We'll never find our way out of here again.
Letting everything go,
Letting everything go,
Step inside the lights beyond the shadow of our doubt.
And never find our way out,
We'll never find our way out,
We'll never find our way out of here again.
International Airport lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Wide-awake
I'm on a plane out of town.
Fly away
From the weight
Of the world on the ground.
I'm international,
But I don't know where to go.
Hopefully, where summer days
Can melt these winter bones.
I'm international,
And you're orbiting my brain,
I'm reduced to writing nothing
All over napkins on the plane.
Wide-awake
I'm on a plane out of town.
Taking pictures of myself
In the mirror on wall,
Trying hard not to make my space
The loneliest place of all.
Early warning all across the sky,
Clouds are rolling in on your light.
Any change from here would be
The wisest change of all,
Any place from here up here
Would be the finest place to fall
Wide-awake
I'm on a plane out of town.
I'm losing track of myself
On all the time zone lines.
And if I daylight save,
Do I jump ahead or fall behind?
And I'm fine 'cause I know,
Any plane I ride can fly me home.
And I'm fine 'cause I know.
You know, I know.
It's easy to see,
Clouds were built for dreams,
Because nothing up there
Is as easy as it seems.
I step out and try to walk around,
As I fall, I look up
And wonder why it let me down.
I'm international,
That's twice the speed of sound...
I just hope I take off from here
Before I hit the ground.
If I could get to heaven
By an airplane in the sky,
We would always be in love
And we would always love to fly.
Wide-awake
I'm on a plane out of town.
Taking pictures of myself
In the mirror on wall,
Trying hard not to make my space
The loneliest place of all.
And I'm fine 'cause I know,
Any plane I ride can fly me home.
And I'm fine 'cause I know.
You know, I know...
And I'm fine 'cause I know,
Any plane I ride can fly me home.
And I'm fine 'cause I know,
Any plane I ride can fly me home.
You know, I know...
You know, I know...
I'm on a plane out of town.
Fly away
From the weight
Of the world on the ground.
I'm international,
But I don't know where to go.
Hopefully, where summer days
Can melt these winter bones.
I'm international,
And you're orbiting my brain,
I'm reduced to writing nothing
All over napkins on the plane.
Wide-awake
I'm on a plane out of town.

Trying hard not to make my space

Life Less Ordinary lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me
Live a life less sedentary
Live a life evolutionary with me
Well I hate to be a bother,
But it's you and there's no other, I do believe
You can call me naive but...
I know me very well (at least as far as I can tell)
And I know what I need
The night you came into my life
Well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me
By the way, I do know why you stayed away...
I will keep tongue-tied next time
Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me
My face had said too much
Before our hands could even touch
To greet a 'hello'
(So much for going slow...)
A little later on that year
I told you that I loved you dear
What do you know?
This you weren't prepared to hear
I'm a saddened man, I'm a broken boy
I'm a toddler with a complex toy
I've fallen apart, since the ambush of your heart
The night you came into my life
Well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me.
By the way, I do know why you stayed away
I will keep tongue-tied but...
Honey understand, honey understand
I won't make demands
Honey understand, honey understand
We could walk without a plan.
Honey understand (honey), honey understand
I won't rest in stone all alone
Honey understand, honey understand
I'm all ready to go
But you already know...
Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me.
If I could name you in this song
Would it make you smile and sing along?
This is the goal: to get into your soul
If I could make you dance for joy
Could that be the second-chance decoy?
The bird-in-hand I would need
To help you understand?
The night you came into my life
well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me
By the way, I do know why you stayed away
I will keep tongue-tied next time
Live a life extraordinary with me
Live a life less sedentary
Live a life evolutionary with me
Well I hate to be a bother,
But it's you and there's no other, I do believe
You can call me naive but...
I know me very well (at least as far as I can tell)
And I know what I need
The night you came into my life
Well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me
By the way, I do know why you stayed away...
I will keep tongue-tied next time
Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me
My face had said too much
Before our hands could even touch
To greet a 'hello'
(So much for going slow...)
A little later on that year

And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me.

I will keep tongue-tied but...

What About Everything? lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some stubborn leaves
That didn't fall with the fall, and now they clatter in vain
Holiday sky, midnight clear
Wind is high, hard to steer
Old muffler rumbles like an old fighter plane
In search of some rest, in search of a break
From a life of tests where something's always at stake
Where something's always so far
What about my broken car?
What about my life so far?
What about my dream?
What about.....
What about everything?
What about aeroplanes?
And what about ships that drank the sea?
What about...
What about the moon and stars?
What about soldier battle scars
And all the anger that they eat?
I am not in need
Get away and come with me
Come away with me and we'll see
If I was right on that night, that a future was made
Before time takes each year, like a knife cuts it clear
It's school, then work and then life that just sharpens the blade
I think about time for fun
I think about time for play
Then I think about being done, with no resume
With no one left to blame
What about fortune and fame?
What about your love to obtain?
What about the ring?
What about....
What about everything?
What about aeroplanes?
And what about ships that drank the sea?
What about...
What about the moon and stars?
What about soldier battle scars
And all the anger that they eat?
I am not in need
Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some reason me
The hometown harbor lights bright, the sailboats clatter in vain
Holiday sky, midnight clear
Wind is high on this pier
I find it hard to complain when compared with what about...
What about everything?
What about aeroplanes?
And what about ships that drank the sea?
What about...
What about the moon and stars?
What about soldier battle scars
And all the anger that they eat?
What about...
What about aliens? What about you and me and...
What about gold beneath the sea?
What about...
What about when buildings fall?
What about that midnight phone call...
The one that wakes you from your peace?
Well, I am not, I am not, I am not in need
That didn't fall with the fall, and now they clatter in vain
Holiday sky, midnight clear
Wind is high, hard to steer
Old muffler rumbles like an old fighter plane
In search of some rest, in search of a break
From a life of tests where something's always at stake
Where something's always so far
What about my broken car?
What about my life so far?
What about my dream?
What about.....
What about everything?
What about aeroplanes?
And what about ships that drank the sea?
What about...
What about the moon and stars?
What about soldier battle scars
And all the anger that they eat?
I am not in need
Get away and come with me
Come away with me and we'll see
If I was right on that night, that a future was made
Before time takes each year, like a knife cuts it clear
It's school, then work and then life that just sharpens the blade
I think about time for fun
I think about time for play
Then I think about being done, with no resume
With no one left to blame
What about fortune and fame?
What about your love to obtain?
What about the ring?
What about....
What about everything?
What about aeroplanes?
And what about ships that drank the sea?
What about...

Changeless lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Call my friends to share some wine
To share some laughs, and last goodbyes
My photographs of these years
Will make me laugh through the tears
What are the odds, what are the odds?
This ends and we don't meet again
What are the odds, What are the odds?
That I will miss your smile
Take awhile! Take awhile! Take care and
Fly away and see the world
Take awhile! Take awhile! Take time and
If you need rest, I'll keep your nest
Changeless
Let fondness be our souvenir
To keep it warm, we'll keep it near
Otherwise with no heart to recall...
A memory's just a memory after all
I will not leave this pulse alone
Though it may take the long way home
I will not wait until the end
For my applause for you my friend
What are the odds, what are the odds?
This ends and we don't meet again
What are the odds, what are the odds?
This ends and we won't meet again
What are the odds, What are the odds?
That I have missed your smile
Take awhile! Take awhile! Take care and
Fly away and see the world
Take awhile! Take awhile! Take time and
If you need rest, I'll keep your nest
Changeless
To share some laughs, and last goodbyes
My photographs of these years
Will make me laugh through the tears
What are the odds, what are the odds?
This ends and we don't meet again
What are the odds, What are the odds?
That I will miss your smile
Take awhile! Take awhile! Take care and
Fly away and see the world
Take awhile! Take awhile! Take time and
If you need rest, I'll keep your nest
Changeless
Let fondness be our souvenir
To keep it warm, we'll keep it near
Otherwise with no heart to recall...
A memory's just a memory after all
I will not leave this pulse alone
Though it may take the long way home
I will not wait until the end
For my applause for you my friend
What are the odds, what are the odds?
This ends and we don't meet again
What are the odds, what are the odds?
This ends and we won't meet again
What are the odds, What are the odds?
That I have missed your smile
Take awhile! Take awhile! Take care and
Fly away and see the world
Take awhile! Take awhile! Take time and
If you need rest, I'll keep your nest
Changeless
This Is My Song! lyrics - Carbon Leaf
My name is Luck, this is my song
I happened by while you were gone, well...
I apologize that I could not stay
But I hope good things swing your way
I know they will... here's your horseshoe
So best of luck to you
For the stable running brave
From the cradle to the grave
This is my day, this is my song
I am alive... what can go wrong?
If we're on our way-oh, ok let me know
If we're on our way-oh, ok then, let's go
My name is Hope, Luck just ran out
He said he'd return, without a doubt
(ah, but don't you believe him!)
Oh, I happen to have a message from Love
She told me she knows what you've been dreaming of
My name is Hope, this is my song
When things go wrong
For the stable running brave
From the cradle to the grave
This is my day, this is my song
I am alive, what can go wrong?
If we're on our way-oh, ok let me know
If we're on our way-oh, ok then, let's go
Through the windswept countryside
Across the great divide
For the stable running brave
From the cradle to the grave
This is my day, this is my song
As long as I'm alive what can go wrong?
If we're on our way-oh, ok let me know
If we're on our way-oh, ok then, let's go
I happened by while you were gone, well...
I apologize that I could not stay
But I hope good things swing your way
I know they will... here's your horseshoe
So best of luck to you
For the stable running brave
From the cradle to the grave
This is my day, this is my song
I am alive... what can go wrong?
If we're on our way-oh, ok let me know
If we're on our way-oh, ok then, let's go
My name is Hope, Luck just ran out
He said he'd return, without a doubt
(ah, but don't you believe him!)
Oh, I happen to have a message from Love
She told me she knows what you've been dreaming of
My name is Hope, this is my song
When things go wrong
For the stable running brave
From the cradle to the grave
This is my day, this is my song
I am alive, what can go wrong?
If we're on our way-oh, ok let me know
If we're on our way-oh, ok then, let's go
Through the windswept countryside
Across the great divide
For the stable running brave
From the cradle to the grave
This is my day, this is my song
As long as I'm alive what can go wrong?
If we're on our way-oh, ok let me know
If we're on our way-oh, ok then, let's go
Grey Sky Eyes lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Grey sky, always in your eye
Where is the girl behind the cloud?
Grey sky, always floating by
But I only peek when I'm allowed
You welcome me in
And your veil is so thin
But the mystery continues to grow
You say you must realize
That my grey sky eyes
Neither rain, nor they glow... now you know
So I'll try to not act so suprised
I'll feel my way, I'll underplay
All my curiosity and hide
All the questions in my skin
You welcome me in
And your veil is so thin
But the mystery continues to grow
You say you must realize
That my grey sky eyes
Neither rain, nor they glow... now you know
They neither rain nor they glow... now you know
Grey Sky, I think I changed my mind
I find no need to pretend
Grey Sky, would you allow me to be
So into you, my friend?
Could you welcome me in
With your veil that's so thin
As the the mystery continues to grow?
You say you must realize
That my grey sky eyes
Neither rain, nor they glow... now you know
They neither rain nor they glow... now you know
They neither rain nor they glow... now you know
Where is the girl behind the cloud?
Grey sky, always floating by
But I only peek when I'm allowed
You welcome me in
And your veil is so thin
But the mystery continues to grow
You say you must realize
That my grey sky eyes
Neither rain, nor they glow... now you know
So I'll try to not act so suprised
I'll feel my way, I'll underplay
All my curiosity and hide
All the questions in my skin
You welcome me in
And your veil is so thin
But the mystery continues to grow
You say you must realize
That my grey sky eyes
Neither rain, nor they glow... now you know
They neither rain nor they glow... now you know
Grey Sky, I think I changed my mind
I find no need to pretend
Grey Sky, would you allow me to be
So into you, my friend?
Could you welcome me in
With your veil that's so thin
As the the mystery continues to grow?
You say you must realize
That my grey sky eyes
Neither rain, nor they glow... now you know
They neither rain nor they glow... now you know
They neither rain nor they glow... now you know
Raise The Roof lyrics - Carbon Leag
Raise the roof, that I might see the stars
To gain wisdom, to see things for what they are
Please, I need proof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Trapped in the snare with too much dreaming to bear
Fearful and frantic, hopeless and a romantic
Inspired but tired, I run this wide-open course
Like the sagging spirit of an older horse
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Peel back this backdrop, like the lids from my eyes
Put you in plain view, let me visualize
Touch me again in my dreams till I feel
Touch me again till I wake and it's real
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
The wisest advice to me that I didn't reach
Was to lock up the heart, but keep the key within reach
Touch me again in my dreams till I feel
Touch me again till I wake and it's real
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Raise the roof
To gain wisdom, to see things for what they are
Please, I need proof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Trapped in the snare with too much dreaming to bear
Fearful and frantic, hopeless and a romantic
Inspired but tired, I run this wide-open course
Like the sagging spirit of an older horse
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Peel back this backdrop, like the lids from my eyes
Put you in plain view, let me visualize
Touch me again in my dreams till I feel
Touch me again till I wake and it's real
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
The wisest advice to me that I didn't reach
Was to lock up the heart, but keep the key within reach
Touch me again in my dreams till I feel
Touch me again till I wake and it's real
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Raise the roof
Paloma lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Chase the high ground - where you'd rather be
Where you might be found
Face all aglow, to leave from here
To pack up and go
But it takes some time to get away
And you will have to build from what remains
To run it takes the courage of a lamb
To love, the fierceness of a storm
Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder
Everyone's staring , but no one is caring for you now
Just spread your wings, latch onto the breeze
Just take the leap... and you're free
Chase the high ground - where you'd rather be
Where you might be found
This move may erase the troubles in your head
Or expose the absence of your soul
And so, it takes some time to get away
And you will have to tear down what remains
And I can't stand for goodbyes
So hold on to me, or lead the way
Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder
Everyone's staring , but no one is caring for you now
Just spread your wings, latch onto the breeze
Just take the leap... and you're free
Pace yourself when outrunning fear
Take cover when it's dark
And keep an even keel
In your world you're only a phone away
But in my world you're too far to feel
And it may take some time to learn what's real
And you may have to beg and borrow
And you will surely steal
Remember all those lonely sessions
Turned into yesterday's lessons
To never forget love, to never forget love
Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder
Everyone's staring, but no one is caring for you now
Just spread your wings, latch onto the breeze
Just take the leap... and you're free
Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder
Everyone's staring but no one is caring for...
Paloma you cry out you beg for connection
The dreams you seek are straight ahead in every direction
Now you're free
Now that you're, you're free
Now that you're, you're free
You're free
Today I watched the greatest thing of all
A flock of birds, preparing for the fall
Where you might be found
Face all aglow, to leave from here
To pack up and go
But it takes some time to get away
And you will have to build from what remains
To run it takes the courage of a lamb
To love, the fierceness of a storm
Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder
Everyone's staring , but no one is caring for you now
Just spread your wings, latch onto the breeze
Just take the leap... and you're free
Chase the high ground - where you'd rather be
Where you might be found
This move may erase the troubles in your head
Or expose the absence of your soul
And so, it takes some time to get away
And you will have to tear down what remains
And I can't stand for goodbyes
So hold on to me, or lead the way
Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder
Everyone's staring , but no one is caring for you now
Just spread your wings, latch onto the breeze
Just take the leap... and you're free
Pace yourself when outrunning fear
Take cover when it's dark
And keep an even keel
In your world you're only a phone away
But in my world you're too far to feel
And it may take some time to learn what's real

Today I watched the greatest thing of all
A flock of birds, preparing for the fall
One Prairie Outpost lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Not been here since I was a boy
The sky unwrapped, the world my toy
A movie reel a million miles long
On and on...
Scene after scene passes by my life
The window's a wound. The road is a knife
The irony, ask me, 'where have you been?'
I don't know, I don't know
Because I don't know where to begin
Too much to do, too much to see
Pictures to take, people to meet
When there's so much space in between
It overwhelms me
Scene after scene passes by my life
The window's a wound. The road is a knife
The irony, ask me, 'where have you been?'
I don't know, I don't know
Because I don't know where to begin
Not been here since I was a boy
Now heart full of fear and a mask of painted joy
So much for these youthful eyes to see
So much for peace and tranquility
One Prairie Outpost, you are how I feel...
Alone in a flatland 'tween the dream and the real
The irony, ask me, 'where have you been?'
I don't know, I don't know
Because I don't know where to begin
I don't know where to begin
The sky unwrapped, the world my toy
A movie reel a million miles long
On and on...
Scene after scene passes by my life
The window's a wound. The road is a knife
The irony, ask me, 'where have you been?'
I don't know, I don't know
Because I don't know where to begin
Too much to do, too much to see
Pictures to take, people to meet
When there's so much space in between
It overwhelms me
Scene after scene passes by my life
The window's a wound. The road is a knife
The irony, ask me, 'where have you been?'
I don't know, I don't know
Because I don't know where to begin
Not been here since I was a boy
Now heart full of fear and a mask of painted joy
So much for these youthful eyes to see
So much for peace and tranquility
One Prairie Outpost, you are how I feel...
Alone in a flatland 'tween the dream and the real
The irony, ask me, 'where have you been?'
I don't know, I don't know
Because I don't know where to begin
I don't know where to begin
Let Your Troubles Roll By lyrics - Carbon leaf
Love endures, it clings away
When asked to leave, it begs to stay
Like the perfect song, at imperfect times
It's the way the chords struck with the rhymes
So let your troubles roll by...
He knows he can help himself
He can tell by a look at the books on his shelf
And someone, somewhere loses her son
Before her own sunset is said and done
And she dreams of sunflowers bent-over
Frozen in snow, and thinks 'Colorado.. ?'
But then plays her life back in slow motion
To keep in touch with that raw emotion
In the night, crushed empty can
Olive Oyle is waiting for her man
To come in from the fight
That will change their life
'For good this time...'
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
Like New Year's Eve, tonight's underway
But tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day
'Cause underneath the scars of your broken dreams
An undone war still wages and stings
You fear the year will blow
Like a breeze through a rainbow
You swear it's there, but you can't grab a hold
So you sit and cry and wonder why, why...
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
So many cities and windows and lives
And through each one there's a soul that strives to survive
So pay no mind, my sorrow's fine
The day is a live and that's why I cry
It's a New Year's toast, grab your list to conspire
The last snake hissed as he was thrown in the fire
You've come far, and though you're far from the end
You don't mind where you are, cause you know where you've been
Like a culture vulture sprawled out on the floor
Like a dead devil sailor washed up on the shore
With nothing of note but the ole' Capt.'s coat
And a burning boat you just sank with your salty tears...
When asked to leave, it begs to stay
Like the perfect song, at imperfect times
It's the way the chords struck with the rhymes
So let your troubles roll by...
He knows he can help himself
He can tell by a look at the books on his shelf
And someone, somewhere loses her son
Before her own sunset is said and done
And she dreams of sunflowers bent-over
Frozen in snow, and thinks 'Colorado.. ?'
But then plays her life back in slow motion
To keep in touch with that raw emotion
In the night, crushed empty can
Olive Oyle is waiting for her man
To come in from the fight
That will change their life
'For good this time...'
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
Like New Year's Eve, tonight's underway
But tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day
'Cause underneath the scars of your broken dreams
An undone war still wages and stings
You fear the year will blow
Like a breeze through a rainbow
You swear it's there, but you can't grab a hold
So you sit and cry and wonder why, why...
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
So many cities and windows and lives
And through each one there's a soul that strives to survive
So pay no mind, my sorrow's fine
The day is a live and that's why I cry
It's a New Year's toast, grab your list to conspire
The last snake hissed as he was thrown in the fire
You've come far, and though you're far from the end
You don't mind where you are, cause you know where you've been
Like a culture vulture sprawled out on the floor
Like a dead devil sailor washed up on the shore
With nothing of note but the ole' Capt.'s coat
And a burning boat you just sank with your salty tears...
When I'm Alone lyrics - Carbon Leaf
I opened up the music box
I wish you would have changed the locks
To keep me from replaying
All the feelings I've been saving
I did not keep them locked up inside
I did not take my steps in stride
Thought you were bluffing, trampled on you
Went from friends to nothing
Radio turns to gold
And paves the way
To find my home
When I'm alone
Overeager and underway
I risked it all, I had to say
What opened me up for the beating
But the heart is for bleeding
With scraps of songs I paste along
The seams of my clumsy tongue
In hopes of creating the golden notes
That might bring you back to me
Radio turns to gold
And paves the way
To find my home
When I'm alone
Like phantoms on the highway
After holiday, gritting their teeth
Racing to find a place for their soul
Or at least a place... that's less familiar
We offer up our heart before
The heart's invited or asked for
Oh no, here I go my friend, I'm repeating
But the heart is for bleeding...
And I've said all I can say
I am retreating, on my way
Music box, play my song I'll sing along
To that bitterly sweet tone
When I'm alone...
I wish you would have changed the locks
To keep me from replaying
All the feelings I've been saving
I did not keep them locked up inside
I did not take my steps in stride
Thought you were bluffing, trampled on you
Went from friends to nothing
Radio turns to gold
And paves the way
To find my home
When I'm alone
Overeager and underway
I risked it all, I had to say
What opened me up for the beating
But the heart is for bleeding
With scraps of songs I paste along
The seams of my clumsy tongue
In hopes of creating the golden notes
That might bring you back to me
Radio turns to gold
And paves the way
To find my home
When I'm alone
Like phantoms on the highway
After holiday, gritting their teeth
Racing to find a place for their soul
Or at least a place... that's less familiar
We offer up our heart before
The heart's invited or asked for
Oh no, here I go my friend, I'm repeating
But the heart is for bleeding...
And I've said all I can say
I am retreating, on my way
Music box, play my song I'll sing along
To that bitterly sweet tone
When I'm alone...
The Sea lyrics - Carbon Leaf
I woke up from a dream
A white rose was floating to greet... the sea
Morning light, race me down
The wooden path, can't catch me now... the sea
Will you wade with me? You and me, all alone?
Wadin' on the sea
I grab your toes and now I understand
The symbol of the rose, it floats on my hand
On this great sea strand
Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Until the end, or until the day is through
And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me
That lures the devil in the deep blue sea
Will you always float here with me?
I don't wanna send second-hand notes
To you my friend, about the sea
So we jump back into the party
And we wade our way out past the bar
I had not planned on going out this far
Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Until the end, or until the day is through
And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me
That lures the devil in the deep blue sea
Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Until the end, or until the day is through
And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me
That lures the devil in the deep blue sea
'Cause the devil has a smile
And the devil has a smile
And it's thorny and it's wild
And it grows from deep inside
And you try to swim away
But the devil calls this play
Deep blue sea deep blue sea deep blue sea
A white rose was floating to greet... the sea
Morning light, race me down
The wooden path, can't catch me now... the sea
Will you wade with me? You and me, all alone?
Wadin' on the sea
I grab your toes and now I understand
The symbol of the rose, it floats on my hand
On this great sea strand
Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Until the end, or until the day is through
And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me
That lures the devil in the deep blue sea
Will you always float here with me?
I don't wanna send second-hand notes
To you my friend, about the sea
So we jump back into the party
And we wade our way out past the bar
I had not planned on going out this far
Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Until the end, or until the day is through
And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me
That lures the devil in the deep blue sea
Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Until the end, or until the day is through
And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me
That lures the devil in the deep blue sea
'Cause the devil has a smile
And the devil has a smile
And it's thorny and it's wild
And it grows from deep inside
And you try to swim away
But the devil calls this play
Deep blue sea deep blue sea deep blue sea
The Boxer lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Couldn't ask for a better day, two by two
To the ring to the right point of view
Each retreat to the corner that's definied by you
To the ring to the right point of...
Lonely Reign
She is the Boxer, she knows
when and where to strike
He is the Boxer, he knows,
no peaceful sleep tonight
Caught the downfall of Pete and May, Ryan too
(He did not approve of Callie's mood)
Doctor Mike was 'fight or flight' at Dundrum School
To the right to the right point of...
No return. No passion left to burn.
The Boxers grow weary.
Their eyesight...blurry view.
Lonely Reign
She is the Boxer, she knows
when and where to strike
He is the Boxer, he knows,
no peaceful sleep tonight
All's quiet on the front. Smokey room.
Boxer standing tall, peering through
Finding no one left to fight
What to do?
To the ring to the right point of view...
Lonely Reign
She is the Boxer, she knows
when and where to strike
He is the Boxer, he knows,
no peaceful sleep tonight
To the ring to the right point of view
Each retreat to the corner that's definied by you
To the ring to the right point of...
Lonely Reign
She is the Boxer, she knows
when and where to strike
He is the Boxer, he knows,
no peaceful sleep tonight
Caught the downfall of Pete and May, Ryan too

Wanderin' Around lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Put me in new direction.
Point me to the edge of the world
With a warm heart and cold complexion
I'm feeble with a flag unfurled
Where to today?
Miles away
And as I sigh the long goodbye,
what will be found wanderin' around?
And as I sign the long goodbye,
what will be found wanderin' around?
Sister, where you going?
I have one question, maybe three
Sister is it showing?
We race away from who we used to be
Where to today?
Miles away
And as I sigh the long goodbye,
what will be found wanderin' around?
And as I sign the long goodbye,
what will be found wanderin' around?
Point me to the edge of the world
With a warm heart and cold complexion
I'm feeble with a flag unfurled
Where to today?
Miles away
And as I sigh the long goodbye,
what will be found wanderin' around?
And as I sign the long goodbye,
what will be found wanderin' around?
Sister, where you going?
I have one question, maybe three
Sister is it showing?
We race away from who we used to be
Where to today?
Miles away
And as I sigh the long goodbye,
what will be found wanderin' around?
And as I sign the long goodbye,
what will be found wanderin' around?
On Any Given Day lyrics - Carbon Leaf
I woke, I broke free drove a long time
It didn't purge you from my mind
Hang up the halo, maybe you're right
Chalk it up to a starry night
To be set free, to live and learn
Did we pass or fail the term?
You wrote a note with chalk on my door
A message I'd known long before:
On any given day, you'll find me gone
On any given day, you'll find me gone
Give me your reason, give me your rhyme
So I can tempo me to your time
So I can scratch your surface and be
A deeper part of the mystery
To be undone, to be alone
To live life in monotone
I reach the beach and try to ignore
The warning I'd known long before
On any given day, you'll find me gone
On any given day, you'll find me gone
I've been down to the sea
I've been down to the sea
And so all of the lovers will say
Forever star-crossed will we stay
Still I can't help feeling castaway
on any given day
Still I can't help feeling you'll run away
on any given day
I window shop for you in my mind
A flannel shirt at the five and dime
A lether coat cut big city style
Boots from plastic crocodile
A pinecone dipped in glitter glue
A penny 1942
A necklace with a cheap green stone
Barefeet, cold sand. Chill to the bone
I've been down to the sea
I've been down to the sea
And so all of the lovers will say
Forever star-crossed will we stay
Still I can't help feeling castaway
on any given day
Still I can't help feeling you'll run away
on any given day
My eye on you. My eye on you.
My eye on you always
I've been down to the sea
I've been down to the sea
And so all of the lovers will say
Forever star-crossed will we stay
Still I can't help feeling castaway
on any given day
Still I can't help feeling you'll run away
on any given day
I lift my hands up, smell to reveal
Your perfume on the steering wheel
You're next to me asleep and I smile
I think I'll drive on for awhile
It didn't purge you from my mind
Hang up the halo, maybe you're right
Chalk it up to a starry night
To be set free, to live and learn
Did we pass or fail the term?
You wrote a note with chalk on my door
A message I'd known long before:
On any given day, you'll find me gone
On any given day, you'll find me gone
Give me your reason, give me your rhyme
So I can tempo me to your time
So I can scratch your surface and be
A deeper part of the mystery
To be undone, to be alone
To live life in monotone
I reach the beach and try to ignore
The warning I'd known long before
On any given day, you'll find me gone
On any given day, you'll find me gone
I've been down to the sea
I've been down to the sea
And so all of the lovers will say
Forever star-crossed will we stay
Still I can't help feeling castaway
on any given day
Still I can't help feeling you'll run away
on any given day
I window shop for you in my mind
A flannel shirt at the five and dime
A lether coat cut big city style

I've been down to the sea
I've been down to the sea
And so all of the lovers will say
Forever star-crossed will we stay
Still I can't help feeling castaway
on any given day
Still I can't help feeling you'll run away
on any given day
My eye on you. My eye on you.
My eye on you always
I've been down to the sea
I've been down to the sea
And so all of the lovers will say
Forever star-crossed will we stay
Still I can't help feeling castaway
on any given day
Still I can't help feeling you'll run away
on any given day
I lift my hands up, smell to reveal
Your perfume on the steering wheel
You're next to me asleep and I smile
I think I'll drive on for awhile
Torn To Tattered lyrics - Carbon Leaf
In a classroom somewhere alone
Looking at the window scene
Tune out the tutor in me
Sun is going down through the line of trees
I day dream
And in my head I walk along
All the paths we have been on
There is a chance to bridge the line
Between two points ruptured in time
You lived your life like nothing else mattered
And now you're torn, torn to tattered
And I don't need any apology
And you know I don't need any apology
And it's a long walk away
Oh, it's a long walk away
Torn, tattered. torn...
Certain things make me feel
Like it was when we could steal
The magic of moments real
Revisit. remember. reunion. re-ember
The white smell of burning leaves
Walk along...
You walk the path like Charlie Brown
You're full of hope, but with your head down
And you only have one eye to see
The other's closed, and too scared to peak
And silence of the heart can leave you shattered
And now you're torn, torn to tattered
And I don't need any apology
And you know I don't need any apology
And it's a long walk away
Oh, it's a long walk away
Torn, tattered. torn...
Through the line of trees I dream
of only good remembering
I think of you. was it...
Was it ever so bad my friend? And what was...
What was ever so bad my friend?
And in my head I walk along,
All of the paths we should be on
The sun is down, enjoyed the dream
I'm full of hope, that you think of me
I think of you and how much you mattered
When I'm torn, torn to tattered
And I don't need any apology
And you know I don't need any apology
And it's a long walk away
Oh, it's a long walk away
Torn, tattered. torn...
Looking at the window scene
Tune out the tutor in me
Sun is going down through the line of trees
I day dream
And in my head I walk along
All the paths we have been on
There is a chance to bridge the line
Between two points ruptured in time
You lived your life like nothing else mattered
And now you're torn, torn to tattered
And I don't need any apology
And you know I don't need any apology
And it's a long walk away
Oh, it's a long walk away
Torn, tattered. torn...
Certain things make me feel
Like it was when we could steal
The magic of moments real
Revisit. remember. reunion. re-ember
The white smell of burning leaves
Walk along...
You walk the path like Charlie Brown
You're full of hope, but with your head down
And you only have one eye to see
The other's closed, and too scared to peak
And silence of the heart can leave you shattered
And now you're torn, torn to tattered
And I don't need any apology
And you know I don't need any apology
And it's a long walk away
Oh, it's a long walk away
Torn, tattered. torn...
Through the line of trees I dream
of only good remembering

What was ever so bad my friend?
And in my head I walk along,

And I don't need any apology
And you know I don't need any apology
And it's a long walk away
Oh, it's a long walk away
Torn, tattered. torn...
Mellow Tone lyrics - Carbon Leaf
You're on my fingers you're on my paper
We're close but far; here we are there you are
You're on my weak heart. my heart is tissue
My heart's a scar. here we are there you are
You're mellow tone. The stepping stone
To whittle away to get me home
I travel far to bed the floor.
I've come a long way, I've come to miss
your Mellow Tone.
Mellow Tone. Mellow Tone. Mellow Tone.
Where now to begin? This deadend cove...Oh
To feel your warm skin
beneath your clothes, beneath your clothes
Dilate me in your pool,
erase my memory start anew
Hide where no one knows.
beneath your clothes. beneath your clothes.
The zenith hum, the perfect strum
I have become completely numb
Tone of your heartbeat, tone of your breathing,
tone of your fingertips
I'm receiving mellow tone...
You're mellow tone. The stepping stone
To whittle away to get me home
I travel far to bed the floor.
I've come a long way, I've come to miss
your Mellow Tone.
The zenith hum, the perfect strum
I have become completely numb
Tone of your heartbeat, tone of your breathing,
tone of your fingertips
I'm receiving mellow tone...
We're close but far; here we are there you are
You're on my weak heart. my heart is tissue
My heart's a scar. here we are there you are
You're mellow tone. The stepping stone
To whittle away to get me home
I travel far to bed the floor.
I've come a long way, I've come to miss
your Mellow Tone.
Mellow Tone. Mellow Tone. Mellow Tone.
Where now to begin? This deadend cove...Oh
To feel your warm skin
beneath your clothes, beneath your clothes
Dilate me in your pool,
erase my memory start anew
Hide where no one knows.
beneath your clothes. beneath your clothes.
The zenith hum, the perfect strum
I have become completely numb
Tone of your heartbeat, tone of your breathing,
tone of your fingertips
I'm receiving mellow tone...
You're mellow tone. The stepping stone
To whittle away to get me home
I travel far to bed the floor.
I've come a long way, I've come to miss
your Mellow Tone.
The zenith hum, the perfect strum
I have become completely numb
Tone of your heartbeat, tone of your breathing,
tone of your fingertips
I'm receiving mellow tone...
Shine lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Should I shy down. that's boring. snoring
I'd like to teach me to sing in perfect harmony
And I'd like to change the world.
It's easier than changing me
And I'd like to find one girl who knows me
Strum bang the drum alound or pt it down
and figure out if I'm out of line
Sit around and figure out if I'm wasting time
Wait for the sign. it's time to shine shine shine
Wait for the sign. it's time to shine shine shine
Why should I sh-shy down. how are you? fine.
Why should I sit around
and be dead and never shine
It's the giant so defiant. But I'm happier if I can sleep
If I wake though. volcano. Fee Fi Fo
Fum bang the drum aloud or put it down
and figure out if I'm out of line
Sit around and figure out if I'm wasting time
Wait for the sign. it's time to shine shine shine
Wait for the sign. it's time to shine shine shine
Lit a fire under my assets
I'd like to, I try to tread tightly, so slightly
When the forest is before us,
but we can't see for all the trees
That's when they fall, that's when I call
The good Paul Bunyun
bang the drum aloud or put it down
and figure out if I'm out of line
Wait for the sign. it's time to shine shine shine
Wait for the sign. it's time to shine shine shine
We're out of line. it's time to shine shine shine
Wait for the sign. we're gonna shine shine shine
Mary Mac lyrics - Carbon Leaf
There's a neat little lass and her name is Mary Mac

I Know The Reason lyrics - Carbon leaf
You talk tough to me and it makes me smile
By the old church yard your feelings hide
I know the reason
And you won't say:
"If we grow too close, will you push away?"
I know the reason
And I like, that we're the same
Waterfall...
Are you afrain to love? You afraid to smile?
From the inside out, to the open wide?
I know the feeling. You're way too proud
And will they find you out if you laugh out loud?
I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall. Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why. I know the reason
I thought you should know. I know the reason.
I'll never be the same.
I clearly see umbrella in the rain
Over you and me
You are the best thing. Let it show
And if we grow to close, let it undertow
This is the best thing
I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall. Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why. I know the reason
I thought you should know. I know the reason.
Should we fall down?
fall down. fall down. fall down
fall down. fall down.
I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall. Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why. I know the reason
I thought you should know. I know the reason.
By the old church yard your feelings hide
I know the reason
And you won't say:
"If we grow too close, will you push away?"
I know the reason
And I like, that we're the same
Waterfall...
Are you afrain to love? You afraid to smile?
From the inside out, to the open wide?
I know the feeling. You're way too proud
And will they find you out if you laugh out loud?
I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall. Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why. I know the reason
I thought you should know. I know the reason.
I'll never be the same.
I clearly see umbrella in the rain
Over you and me
You are the best thing. Let it show
And if we grow to close, let it undertow
This is the best thing
I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall. Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why. I know the reason
I thought you should know. I know the reason.
Should we fall down?
fall down. fall down. fall down
fall down. fall down.
I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall. Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why. I know the reason
I thought you should know. I know the reason.
Lonesome Pine lyrics - Carbon Leaf
She made her way. She felt she was to blame
And her porcelain dolls - she's boxed them all
And along the way, she changed her name
Lonesome Pine, rain or shine
Stands alone. Roots unknown
And I'm as brave as you
And I'm as 'fraid as you
And I'm as brave as you
And I'm as afraid as you are too
She let me in. And then, she changed her mind
With a sad echo. She's all her own
She shook the blame. She changed her name
Lonesome Pine, rain or shine
Stands alone. Roots unknown
And I'm as brave as you
And I'm as 'fraid as you
And I'm as brave as you
And I'm as afraid as you are too
And her porcelain dolls - she's boxed them all
And along the way, she changed her name
Lonesome Pine, rain or shine
Stands alone. Roots unknown
And I'm as brave as you
And I'm as 'fraid as you
And I'm as brave as you
And I'm as afraid as you are too
She let me in. And then, she changed her mind
With a sad echo. She's all her own
She shook the blame. She changed her name
Lonesome Pine, rain or shine
Stands alone. Roots unknown
And I'm as brave as you
And I'm as 'fraid as you
And I'm as brave as you
And I'm as afraid as you are too
Follow The Lady lyrics - Carbon Leaf
She's assigned a witch to spell my heart
and now I'm drawn to her
And my feigning resistance is waning,
light as gossamer
And I mind...
In this dark, flint a spark. Shady lady,
it glows out of you
Through this complex of cobwebs
revelaing a heart for
open view. And I mind...I mind. I mind. I mind
Follow the lady, go far...
She's assigned a witch to spell my heart
and now I'm drawn to her
Siren song draw the ships, orchastrate the
eclipse of this amateur
Then a warm sun arrived,
Shady lady flows out of you
Like the faintest of pulses revived,
and what else can you do?
And I mind....I mind. I mind. I mind
Follow the lady, go far.
follow the lady, go far. I'm far from letting go
Letting go...Lady, how's the ending go?
Follow the lady, go far.
and now I'm drawn to her
And my feigning resistance is waning,
light as gossamer
And I mind...
In this dark, flint a spark. Shady lady,
it glows out of you
Through this complex of cobwebs
revelaing a heart for
open view. And I mind...I mind. I mind. I mind
Follow the lady, go far...
She's assigned a witch to spell my heart
and now I'm drawn to her
Siren song draw the ships, orchastrate the
eclipse of this amateur
Then a warm sun arrived,
Shady lady flows out of you
Like the faintest of pulses revived,
and what else can you do?
And I mind....I mind. I mind. I mind
Follow the lady, go far.
follow the lady, go far. I'm far from letting go
Letting go...Lady, how's the ending go?
Follow the lady, go far.
