Time Is The Playground lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Run through the fields another holiday
Burning in the lungs but your mind escapes
One for the ages straight into the fire
Through the ashes of waiting you're outpacing desire
Buildings rise and shadows fall
Sundial time, clock's on the wall
You can't go back and start again
You just start again from wherever you end
Time is the playground
And the high-rise cityscape fades
As the conversation's winding down
As the engine vibrates
It threads me like a needle, love
It moves right through, and marches on
Make sure I'm worn before I fade
Secondhand, swept away
Run through the fields to get your love in on time
Another shadow is falling, and it might be mine
A bolt from the past as you're breaking away
Fire in the sky like someone's turning a page
Ashes, ashes everywhere
Come along with me
Don't stop to stare
We're rolling side by side with youth
An eternity left if we ignore the truth now
Time is the playground
And the high-rise cityscape fades
As the conversation's winding down
As the engine vibrates
It threads me like a needle, love
It moves right through, and marches on
Make sure I'm worn before I fade
Second hand, swept away
Cuckoo... Cuckoo... Cuckoo... Cuckoo...
Time is the playground
Time is the playground
Time is the playground
Time is the playground
Backmask 1983 lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Beth had a stack of Jimmy's rock and roll records
Deep in the summer of '83
Her older brother Tom got busted for weed
I don't know what that means
Backmask...
The Sun is down around Elizabeth Park now
The kids all gang around Riverwood
We put the record player up on the bed
Bandana flashlights red on the Time Life books
Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, UFOs, ESP
Clairvoyance, haunted houses, ghosts, Halloween
Spin the records back, The Devil's talking to me
Curtains blow in the breeze
Backmask 1983... 1983
I want to believe
In the mystery, mystery
Backmask 1983
Got a Farrah poster up in my bedroom
Hotter than Cheryl Ladd, she's the one
My G&S Fibreflex Bowlrider board
My sister's friends on the trampoline in the sun
Truth or Dare
Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board
Velcro wallet, red Goody comb
Op corduroy shorts
Trans Am Firebird graphic iron-on tees
Crop top. Cut off the sleeves
Backmask 1983... 1983
I want to believe. I want to believe
In the mystery, mystery
Backmask 1983
Got a paper route, wake up before morning
Jump back in bed just before the dawn
Raising some money for my team uniforms
Junior League magazines door-to-door
And mowing some lawns
In Search Of... That's Incredible!... Believe It or Not!
Bermuda Triangle, tidal waves, ghost ships in fog
We moved away. The kids grew apart
Time machines, warp speeds
1983... 1983
Titanic, Haley's Comet, hologram skulls
Russians, NASA rockets, high school
Run through the halls
We saw the Challenger explode on TV
I don't know what that means
Backmask 1983... 1983
How could it be?
I want to believe
In the mystery, mystery
Backmask 1983
I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe
In the mystery, mystery
Backmask 1983
You And Me lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Take a walk now, sleepy eyes
There's no need to put your makeup on
Dreaming down stairways
In your spring morning sky
In your own dimension
Somewhere between space and time
Love's all it takes
Till something breaks
If I could buy some time to write this letter
Lost in a swan song, nothing lasts forever
I never thought the sun could rise
Through all the change that grabbed me by surprise
But I always thought it'd end up you and me
Help me with this costume, where's my cape?
Sew me up a mask so I don't have to reveal my face
All of the kid stuff you outgrew that I am trying hard to disguise
All the weakest things about me
I pretend that I don't want you to find
Love's all it takes
Take a walk with sleepy eyes
Till something breaks
Stairways falling in your mind
Nothing to disguise
Worlds away when your heart aches
If I could buy some time to write this letter
Lost in a swan song, nothing lasts forever
I never thought the sun could rise
I never saw the change before my eyes
But I always thought it'd end up you and me
If I could buy some time, I'd lock up the day
Lost in a swan song dreaming down the stairway
I never thought the sun could rise
Through all the change that grabbed me by surprise
I never thought the sun would rise
Wipe the sleep out of your tired eyes
I never thought the sun could shine
On all the change, the world was rushing by
But I always thought it, always thought
A Life & Times, just wait and see
But I always thought it'd end up you and me
You and me
Love For Sale lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Love for sale
All of the love I would've given away
But I didn't wanna break your heart
Love for sale
I couldn't deny, I thought of running away
But I never wanna break your heart
Break your heart again
All my days
Lost in the shadows and feeling my way
You know I never really know where to start
Call my name
Lightning across the sky sideways
You know I never wanna be a part
Be a part again
There's nothing to leave behind
There's nothing to leave behind
There's nothing to leave behind
When you fall
When there's no one to call
When there's no one to call
When there's no one at all
Love for sale
Clamoring down another fire escape
But I'm sure you know it all by heart
All my time
All of your patience, all the warning signs
And you know I have a bleeding heart
There's nothing to leave behind
There's nothing to leave behind
There's nothing to leave behind
When you fall
When there's no one to call
When there's no one to call
When there's no one at all
There's nothing to leave behind
There's nothing to leave behind
There's nothing to leave behind
When you fall
When there's no one to call
When there's no one
When there's no one at all
Me And Mick lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Down in the engine room of her heart
Young love, new love
It always feels like a start
It keeps beating. Beats being alone.
All alone. All alone. All alone. All alone.
Carry all of these voices in the back of your head
Steady as she goes when the morning comes
Nothing can wreck us but love
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Can we make-believe this day's the only one?
Out of the shadows straight into the dream
Living a sequel we will never see
Steady as she goes when the morning comes
Nothing can wreck us but love
Counting up all the moments in still life
She's puts them together 1000 times in her mind's eye
Strung together in still frames they glow in the dark
Moving out of the picture and into the part
Straight into the part
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Can we make-believe this day's the only one?
Out of the shadows straight into the dream
Living a sequel we will never see
Carry all of these voices in the back of your head
Steady as she goes when the morning comes
Nothing can wreck us but love
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Can we make-believe this day's the only one?
Out of the shadows straight into the dream
Living some sequel we will never see
Out of the shadow and into the sun
Out of the shadow and into the sun
Out of the shadow and into the sun
Nothing can wreck us but love
Monday Night In Germantown lyrics - Carbon Leaf
There's a dull hum from the telephone lines
It's a dead calm all around
In a half-moon sky
Cobblestones and the old gas lights
It's Monday night in Germantown
The pulsing of a traffic light
Tick-tocking through the night
The window shops have all gone home
Silhouettes bleed into sky
Like an ink pen drawing horizon lines
I'm a ghost
Walking 'round Germantown
Every day goes by
Every night sneaks up behind
Like a London fog
Without a shroud of mystery
But we're Live tonight
And one night only at The Foxhound
If you're bored and lonely
If you're not too far away
And we play all our new songs
Calling out, is there anyone around?
Can you hear the sound?
Of Monday night in Germantown
Mug Night, Ladies Free
No door with a college I.D.
Prime rib, fish-in-chips
Packers, Vikings...tv screens
A shop light in the storage room
With a couch, a mop, a bucket, and broom
A window seat, cold pizza
Rock-and-roll with a vista
Old stone tavern, blood-red door
Cigarettes S.O.S.'d
In a bottle on the stage floor old
By an old rolled up Rolling Stone
There's a payphone you can call
There's a dartboard down the hall
There's a deer head on the wall
No door on the stall
And we played all our new songs
Calling out is there anyone around?
Can you hear the sound?
It's Monday night in Germantown
Yeah, we sang all our new songs
Calling out is there anyone around?
Can you hear the sound?
That's Monday night in Germantown
Yeah we played all our new songs
Calling out is there anyone around?
Can you hear the sound?
It's Monday night in Germantown
I'm with my brothers in arms
And we're rockin' the bars
It's 1 a.m. is there anyone around?
Can you hear the sound?
Monday night in Germantown
Can you hear the sound?
Monday night in Germantown
Can you hear the sound?
It's Monday night and Germantown's asleep
City By The Sea lyrics - Carbon Leaf
My life and your life, we're just like
Two ghost ships in the night
Just like two ghost ships
Floating worlds apart
These strange lights
They drown the dark, they make me numb
Tell me, am I the only one?
Tell me, am I the only one to drift apart?
In the city by the sea
In a forest of electric trees we hide
Wade out into the night
Play the distance game till your out of sight
And you're staring down
All the high-rise windows in the dark
And you know me...y foot in the door
You know I will always be
The one that you knew before
The one who holds all your secrets dear
So remain a part of me
Or remain apart from me and disappear
Ain't it funny how we fade?
Echoes in the Milky Way
Ripples of youth
Like ships in the harbor
They go floating through
They go through you and me
City by the sea
We space out
Staring out at sea
All the darkness
Staring back at you and me
The deepest fears will always come to feed
And watch us drown
And hearts of gold
Can still sink just like a stone
In all their brilliant ways on their way down
Like a glowing piece of coal
As the furnace of the soul flickers to life
Ain't it funny how we fade?
Echoes in the Milky Way
Ripples of youth
Like ships in the harbor
They go floating through
They go through you and me
City by the sea
Ain't it funny how we fade?
Echoes in the Milky Way
Ripples of youth
Like ships in the harbor
Ain't it funny how we fade?
Echoes in the Milky Way
Ripples of youth
Like ships in the harbor
They go floating through
They go through you and me
City by the sea
Call Ahead lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Rising up breathing deeply you dream
Emotions hovering like some apparition
Between the familiar and unknown
Places unlock that you couldn't find
Standing at the door
You're either bright eyed or balling
Is something on the other end?
Is there someone to call ahead?
Racing away with only darkness behind
You're catching glimpses with the headlights on
Memory fades another moment to find
A fleeting thought before it's already gone
Visiting places buried in time
You know your heart well
Your spirit has drifted
Floating like some ferry lost in a fog
Your eyes hunting as you're making the turns
Now that something inside you certainly shifted
The voices make your memories burn
But you know love always returns
Racing away with only darkness behind
You're catching glimpses with the headlights on
Memory fades another moment to find
A fleeting thought before it's already gone
And now you're left with The Ghost In You
And you're laughing 'cause you know all the words
And all the tears that you're driving through
Sure as the sun in your eyes
Love always returns
All the fallen memories escape
Let all the fallen memories escape
Racing away from the dark
Thoughts caught in the headlights
All your memories stray
Unfamiliar ranges
You glimpsed but found them gone
And now you're left with The Ghost In You
And you're laughing 'cause you still know the words
And all the tears that you're driving through
Sure as the sun in your eyes
Love always returns
Call ahead... call ahead
Call ahead... call ahead
Catching Windmill lyrics - Carbon Leaf
From the kitchen, peace is falling
I watch a swirling snow
The windows fog, I'm inside a blur
War's on the radio
I'm closer to you than you think
Still far enough away
I must believe tomorrow's new
Cause 'These Are The Good Old Days'
Yeah, these are the good old days...
Just catching a windmill
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
I have been dreaming for weeks
I walk through the woods alone
Lost in a sea of galaxies
Tracking paw prints in the snow
And I have been dreaming for weeks
Watching the stars in the sky
Lost in a sea of galaxies
Just pinwheels for a child
Never cry wolf in the wild
Catching a windmill...
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
(I ride. High. Up into the sky.
So close to heaven now I'm down
Down. Falling back into the clouds.
Scraping the ground. Up around again.)
Everything spins
Everything that spins begins and ends
Everything that ends begins again
In some new way, place, and time
Everything spins
Everything that spins begins and ends
Everything that ends begins again
Galaxies are nothing more than
Windmills spinning as they soar
From the place that they were born
Race away, explore, absorb
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my-
(All this love. All this life. All this time.
Is under blurring starlight)
Round and round and round she goes
Will she stop? Will we grow old?
Through revolutions, twisting grace
A subtle shift from clinging to embrace
California Gold lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Everything looks the same
But everything else has changed
Everybody knows my name
I'm on my own
There's nothing here I can hold
There's no story I haven't told
I'm heading for the other coast
In search of California gold
Sunbeams for a smile
Cali blue skies for miles
San Diego for a while
I'll call you home
And all we have is time
Lay it all down the line
Find the missing pieces as we go
We're taking the slowest road for now
Let the windows paint the scene
Living the fever dream
California gold
California gold
And all we have is time
Maybe on down the line
Find the missing pieces as we go
We're taking the slowest road for now
Just let the windows paint the scene
We'll fall into anything
California gold
California gold
Pretending lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Dawn breaks the day
I crossed a frozen lake
I saw an eagle fly away
But I could feel my heart descending
I went off by myself
Cause there was no one else
It didn't go real well
And the lonely nights were never-ending
Fool's gold
My love
Marching like a high school band down Main Street
I'm going back in time, my paper valentine
When I saw your face
And made your heart all aglow
Before I took it too slow
Well just a slight-of-hand
I'm crying wolf again
I should've known right then
That you were only pretending
I heard the shushing pines, they called
I heard them whisper your name, I thought
I know I sound insane
It's all the alone time I've been spending
Fool's gold, just a slight-of-hand
My love, I'm crying wolf again
Parading like a high school marching band, down Main Street
I'm going back in time, my paper valentine
When I saw your face and made your heart all aglow
Did I take it to...
Another day is done
Another setting sun
Shadows dance to flame
Across the fortress I'm defending
Another train of thought
Another world apart
Ride the iron horse I caught
Into a story never-ending
Fool's gold, just a slight-of-hand
My love, I'm crying wolf again
Parading like a high school marching band down Main Street
I'm going back in time, my paper valentine
When I saw your face and made your heart all aglow
Nobody needs to know
I'm going back in time, my secret valentine
When I saw your face and made your heart all aglow
Nobody needs to know, nobody needs to know
When I saw your face and made your heart all aglow
Nobody needs to know
Neon Signs lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Passing by all the places I have known
Where I could not find the way out
For the way home
Am I surprised of all the ways a life could go?
I'm passing all these places
On the way home
On the way home
On the way home
Passing by all these neon signs
They were times in life
And then they slipped away
Passing by all these broken dreams
At least, so it seems
All my what-ifs, one-days
Might've-beens and could've-shoulds...
Just muscle cars rusting in the woods
Long for days when something caught my eye
But I'd end up chasing memories down
Like fireflies... oh, let it go
Half a life, and no one wants to be alone
So I count up all the faces
On the way home
On the way home
On the way home
Passing by all these neon signs
They were times in life
And then they slipped away
Passing by all these broken dreams
At least, so it seems
All my what-ifs, one-days
Might've-beens and could've-shoulds...
Just muscle cars rusting in the woods
Woods
Times in life you know they slip away
Times in life you know they slip away
Sometimes life you know it slips away
In the twilight of a neon sign
Somewhere between home
And somewhere down the road
Burning wheels, broken things
Shiny chrome, faded dreams
We're running through the trees
Sliding across the hoods
Just muscle cars resting in the woods
Everything's Alright Mama - Carbon Leaf
Time will take these bones from me
Everything's alright mama
And weave them to Earth's tapestry
Everything's alright
The child is father to the man
Everything's alright mama
That gum you like won't come back again
Everything's alright
The sigh
The sigh
I've hit the wall on all the old things
Everything's alright mama
The ways don't feel the same - it's hard to describe
Everything's alright
The dark drips down as if it was coffee
Everything's alright mama
Caterpillars came and ate the house away
Everything's alright
The sky!
The sky!
The sky!
I won't be caught the gaffe in plaid
Everything's alright mama
The hunting ground surrounds you lad
Everything's alright
The sun comes up, hold me close
Everything's alright mama
Lower me with ropes I'm facing the sky
Everything's alright
The sky!
The sky!
The sky!
A squirrel was trapped inside the gutter
Everything's alright mama
I heard it scratch and I pried it open
Everything's alright
(Everything's alright)
Everything's alright
(Everything's alright)
Everything's alright
(Everything's alright)
The sky! (The sky!)
The sky! (The sky!)
The sky! (The sky!)
The sky! (The sky!)
Oh!
Her Father's Pride lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Hang the phone
Collect your thoughts now
They burn inside
You embrace the waterfall of anger
She runs away
In her shaken mind
She sees her home
Through the snowstorm of a daughter's eye
On through the valley
To the mountain side
She carries every bone of her father's pride
Wandering whispers
(Stand your ground)
You've crossed this way before
(The lights are fallen)
There's too much to uncover
(There's too much to bother now)
She doesn't know just when
Or where this started
She runs away
In her shaken mind
She sees her home
Through the snowstorm of a daughter's eye
On through the valley
To the mountain side
She carries every bone of her father's pride
She runs away
In her shaken mind
There's a pull towards home
Through the snowstorm there's a window light
She did what she could
At least she tried
She carries every bone of her father's pride
So far away
With an aching heart
Her life is full
And starting is the hardest part
She celebrates
Most of the time
The bittersweet reunion with her father's pride
From the back side of the valley
To the sunny mountain side
She carries every bone of her father's pride
The echoes from back home of her father's pride
She's on parade with her father's pride
Smokey Joe Of The Poconos lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Smokey Joe of the Poconos
Gonna get your bow
Gonna hunt for doe
Gotta dress'r out in the dark of night
Gotta feed my family by the morning light
I got the bones, bones
They're boiling down out back
I gotta a pot a' coffee
Steamin' on the stove
I'm takin' the hides to the railway lines
For the tannery in eastern Monroe
Smokey Joe of the Poconos
In the wintertime
You gotta hang the bow
Gotta travel now in the dark of night
Gotta get to cutting trees by the morning light
They got the groves, groves
Of chestnut oaks
And the hemlocks are fallin' like a breeze
Strip the bark from the pine
To boil tannin for hides
For the tannery on Pocono Creek
Smokey Joe, they know my name
From the Catskill Mountains
Up to Lake Champlain
My invitation must be lost in the mail
From the Bowmen of Philadelphia
Smokey Joe, another railroad line
Up to Buffalo
They're haulin' anthracite
They've got the steel work on Ontario
Or the icehouse near Mount Pocono
They got the roads, roads
They're widening through
On the Sullivan and Lackawanna Trails
And the passenger cars
Are coming up from Hoboken
On the DL&W rails
Smokey Joe, they know my name
From the Catskill Mountains
Up to Lake Champlain
My invitation must be lost in the mail
From the Bowmen of Philadelphia
Smokey Joe, they know my name
From the Catskill Mountains
Up to Lake Champlain
Smokey Joe, they know my name
From Allegheny County to The Finger Lakes
Smokey Joe, they know my name
I can hunt with a bow
And I'm a jack of trades
My invitation must be lost in the mail
From the United Bowmen of Philadelphia
The Hunting Ground lyrics - Carbon Leaf
I see the light
I see the road
I see the forest floor behind me
I see the ghost
In a rage
In a dream
Lost and resigned
One last time
To find your thing
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
Hear the sound!
Hear the roar!
Hear the chiming of indifference
From the forest floor
In the shade
Of the pines
We strap these remains to our backs
And move through time
Another round
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting...
Hear the sound!
I am afraid
I see the dark
I see the road I’m on
Only from the faintest spark
Fueling fires
From pages torn
Read it aloud pass it down
Everything is worn
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting...
Feel the blood!
Feel the spire!
Breathing in the womb of embers
Night Mother’s fire
Seize me up
Burn me down
Is this all we have?
The natural world?
Is anyone around?
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
Feel the flood!
Feel the flood!
Hear the call!
Unified inside the silence
The darkness grips us all
Shed my coil
Earthly skin
Caught between the door
And the Wild within
Feel the blood!
Fear the fall!
Glowing eyes unified
Can you see them all?
Crying out
Voices ring
From the universe
You never cared about
The black hole swallows me
Without a sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
(Hear the sound!)
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
(Hear the call!)
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
(Hear the call!)
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
(Hear the sound!)
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
(Hear the call!)
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
(In the shade)
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
(Of the pines)
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
(Hear the call!)
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
(Hear the call!)
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
(Hear the sound!)
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
(Hear the call!)
You hear the sound
Another hunting ground
(Hear the sound!)
Pale Blue Dot lyrics - Carbon Leaf
In the wake of love's great passing
From the eagle eyes of youth
Feathers blown from sweaty palms
Arms outstretched for proof
Madmen wait to return
Upon some distant shore
Something borrowed
Something new
Something ocean blue
They've never seen before
Rage on, rage on
My arms are all for you
Rage in your crazy
Blazin' brazen youth
Jumping flames
The fever light
The calling of the wild
Now is not the time or place
To untangle a knotted child
How fast can I run away from this?
How fast will you hold me true?
Dig deep down you're bound to strike
The grave of something new
Rage on, rage on
My arms are all for you
Rage in your crazy
Blazin' brazen youth
And the silent thoughts
Spin round and round
Where they land nobody knows
But somewhere stands this grizzly bear
Being swarmed by a gang of crows
Caring is the sharpest stone
You could ever choose
When the day is done
It's who we've become
That's truly ours to lose
We rage on, rage on
My arms are all for you
Rage with your crazy
Blazing brazen youth
Rage on, rage on
Once upon a time…
Fairy tales from a pale blue dot
Everything will turn out fine
Gathering lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Blinding bright, we see
Through renaissance dreaming
We believe the daily muse
Buried but listening
And all we need is gathering
Fighting night, we leave
All our befallen gifts surround us
We retreat to the darkened lodge
That's cold with no songs to sing
And all we need is gathering
So chase the bear
Or run away
Put on your mittens to curse the flame
Spirits from
The gallows sang
"Stand in the fire but pray for rain"
Hollow out yourself
Just to take it in again
And find the distant sound
An empty vessel
But it's always haunted, thrashing out
Soon we find
All we need is gathering
So chase the bear
Or run away
Put on your mittens to curse the flame
Spirits from
The gallows sang
"Stand in the fire but pray for rain"
Blinding bright, we sing
Through renaissance dreaming
We believe the daily muse
Buried but forever free
And all we need is the gathering
So chase the bear
Or run away
Put on your mittens to curse the flame
Spirits from
The gallows sang
"Stand in the fire but pray for rain"
So chase the bear
Or run away
Put on your mittens to curse the flame
The songs of old
Remain the same
Stand in the fire but pray for rain
Stand in the fire but pray for rain
Stand in the fire but pray for rain
Wind In The Leaves lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Wind in the leaves
Crawl from my bed
The forest floor opens itself
To clear my dusty head
Wind in the leaves along a sylvan path
Your memory's grown inside me
Like a knotted branch
Rushing by like a spirit
Like a banshee through the trees
Moving everything in sight
But still sight unseen
Rushing by like a spirit
Like an angel through the trees
Was that for me? Was that for me?
Wind in the leaves along a sylvan path
Your memory's grown inside me
Like a knotted branch
From somewhere on the forest floor
A muted roar, a muted roar
Wind in the leaves congregations in the grain
Tripping over answered prayers
But washing out the bloody stain
Wind in the leaves
Another season I begin
To ring around the lake of fire
To touch the stones that bring me back again
And sometimes I rage
As if to punch a hole through the sky
Shouting into some heaven where everything you love
Is just passing by
Rushing by like a spirit
Like an angel through the trees
Was that for me? Was that for me?
Wind in the leaves along a sylvan path
Your memory's grown inside me
Like a knotted branch
From somewhere on the forest floor
A muted roar, a muted roar
Wind in the leaves along a sylvan path
Another memory born
Another look back
From somewhere on the forest floor
A muted roar, a muted roar
Come Sunday Morn lyrics - Carbon Leaf
My eyes are hazy. My spirit's weak
I can run with the best of 'em
But my legs have gone to sleep
Switch on the bright lights. Turn on this town
Tell the Ledger-Star the prodigal son-of-a-bitch is comin' round
Leave my blue suede shoes by the door
Break 'em in and then ask forgiveness
Come Sunday morn
All these floorboards are barely worn
Break 'em in and then ask forgiveness
Come Sunday morn
I woke this mornin' a ball full of rage
A heart full of burnin' fire was beatin' on its cage
Mom has gone to heaven. Dad is fairly well
Sister's got her hands too full
And I've gone all to hell
Leave my blue suede shoes by the door
Break 'em in and then ask forgiveness
Come Sunday morn
All these floorboards are barely worn
Break 'em in and then ask forgiveness
Come Sunday morn
Dance with me until the boiling fever's sweated out
Until the pales of grief run bottomless
On the flames that brought the drought
Switch on the bright lights. Turn on this town
Run me through 'til I turn to powder
And dash me on the ground
Leave my blue suede shoes by the door
Break 'em in and then ask forgiveness
Come Sunday morn
All these floorboards are barely worn
Break 'em in and then ask forgiveness
Come Sunday morn
Bow & Arrow (Shore Up A Love) lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Call the doctor!
Start to pray!
You've got to shore up
Your love today
Life will end
In peculiar ways
And the time you spend
Is un-exchanged
Whoa, bow and arrow's poised
To the sea of sky up above
One thing's for sure
You've gotta shore up a love
You've gotta shore
Shore up a love
From outside the garden
On a summer's eve
I see you crouched down
Pulling weeds
And I hide my face
From the memories
Like I hide my prayers
When I'm on my knees
Whoa, bow and arrow's drawn
To the sea of sky up above
One thing's for sure
You've gotta shore up a love
You've gotta shore
Shore up a love
Sing hallelujah!
Say amen!
Just shout it out
To begin again
In the wading pool
Of original sin
You know my heart
Was the first one in
Whoa, bow and arrow shoot
Into the sea of sky up above
One thing's for sure
You've gotta shore up a love
You've gotta shore
Shore up a love
You've gotta shore
Shore up a love
Gifts From The Crows lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Morning hits me up early
I follow my thoughts down the road
I take what I find
I keep my pockets lined
Looking for gifts from the crows
They follow me all through the branches
They call out the signs of warning
They gather and off they go
They follow me all through the branches
They call out the signs of warning
They gather and off they go
But I don't want to be
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
Shining on the way home
I found a gift from the crows
There's a candle set on the table
There's a orange burning low in the sky
There's a fragile peace washing over me
But it never outpaces the night
And we're telling the tales of our longings
And we're piercing the veil
With our stars that we scored from memory
And we're telling the tales of our longings
And we're piercing the veil
With our stars as we scored the memory
But I don't want to be
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
Shining on the way home
I found these gifts from the crows
Keep my pockets lined
They're shining for me on the way home
All of these gifts from the crows
Circus lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Caught in a crowd, it's like a garden
And you're turning a phrase
How do you unmask from the performance
When all the world's a stage?
Is this where, where I belong?
Is this where, where I belong?
In the long shadows, in the darkness
Of confusion and purpose, it's time
We all have our window and vision
Yet sometimes I feel so blind
Can you explain to me what I see?
Can you help me decipher and decide?
Is this where, where I belong?
Is this where, where I belong?
The sun blinks its brilliant eyes
On confusion and purpose, it's time
To find the place you're broken in
And stare into the never-ending sunlight
I'm so done with this circus
Yet I love this escape
How do you free yourself and leave the rest
To the beasts in the gilded cage?
If every end is a new beginning
Is there cause to celebrate?
If any pause for reflection's been lost
In your need to fill all that empty space
Is this where I belong?
Is this where, where I belong?
The sun blinks its brilliant eyes
On confusion and purpose, it's time
Is this where, where I belong?
Is this where, where I belong?
The sun blink your eyes on the dark, broiling skies
On confusion and purpose, it's time
To find the place you're broken in
And stare into the never-ending sunlight
Sunlight
Sunlight
Sunlight
Love Rain Down lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Effortless, she's walking through
Walking through every open door
Like a breeze, love kind of blows
When you know what you don't know
Everything I need to know
I learned as a child
And I won't say that I was ready
But I will say it was time
That I let love rain down
That I let love rain down
I've run dry of lofty words
Am I a saint? Am I a fool?
I'll let the judgment rest on your shoulders
What's in the heart is solely up to you
Everything I need to know
I learned as a child
And at the end of this sordid history
I don't wanna come up dry
So, I let love rain down
Yeah, I let love rain down
Effortless, she showers down
Down from every single cloud
Like the rain, she likes to soak
When you don't have it, nothing grows
When the last word on love falls upon the ground
If the last ray of sun don't ever shine
Well, I can't say that I was ever ready
But I can sure say it was time
That I let love rain down
Yeah, I let love rain down
That I let love rain down
That I let love rain down
Alcatraz lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Hello its been awhile
You know I wished you well
I wrote a song for you
So break the chains and damn the cell
You wrote love, love is everywhere
In the notebook you gave me
You made a list of joys for me and you put your name first
How?
How?
How is no man is an island?
Well with California sliding off the chart
Pack your suitcase up and make a brand new start
California sliding off the map
Hurry now, can you make it home, can you make it back?
If nothing's built to last, why don't you, just put me out on Alcatraz?
I've been accused a time or two
Of having sentimental attributes of hanging on too long
When nostalgia is a vice that captures a warm place in time
And like a cool fog rolling in, clouding up the heart and minds
Whoa!
Whoa!
Oh well no man's an island.
Well with California sliding off the chart
Pack your suitcase up and make a brand new start
California sliding off the map
Hurry now, can you make it home, can you make it back?
If nothing's built to last, why don't you, just put me out on Alcatraz?
And every tear in your past, the reservoir you blink away
Washing down all the hilly streets, out into the bay
No man is an island, but each one does his time
To see if he can tough it out, in a prison of the mind
And like a note to a lover
Through the blue lines you can see
A chance to stay a prisoner, or an easy way to break yourself free!
Break yourself free!
Whoa California sliding off the chart
Pack your suitcase up baby open up your heart
California sliding off the map
Hurry now, can you make it home, can you make it back?
If nothing's built to last, and why don't you, just put me out on Alcatraz?
All Of My Love lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Where do lovers start?
In a starry eye
In a starry sea of gazes
We lay ourselves to rest
Where do lovers start?
In the wild calling of our heart
To an unknown place we call home
We lay ourselves to rest
To rest in this silent lullaby
When there's not a whole lot left
You're cradling the pieces
Of everything I am
All of my love
Where does the love connect?
In the starry sky
In the spirit, in the roiling firmament
Recovery is gain
To rest in your silent lullaby
When there's not a whole lot left
You're cradling the pieces
Of everything I am
All of my love
These wooden nickels age
Time to settle up when there's nothing left
Just be the life inside
Just be my place of rest
Where do lovers start?
In a starry eye
Bestowed upon the youth
To carry me away
To carry me away
To carry me away
To rest in this silent lullaby
When there's not a whole lot left
Keep cradling the pieces
Of everything I am
All of my love
All of my love
All of my love
All of my love
(You're carrying all the weight)
All of my love
(Carry it all away)
All of my love
(Carry it all away)
All of my love
(Carry it all away)
All of my love
(Carry it all away)
All of my love
(Carry it all away)
All of my love
(You're carrying all the weight)
All of my love
(You're carrying all the weight)
All of my love
(Carry it all)
Two Aging Truckers lyrics - Carbon Leaf
A horse needs to run
A heart needs to bleed
An engine can't gain the miles
If it's kept pristine
If the view of change is constant
Just like I've been told
Is any backyard the boundless start
To all directions unknown?
Will I be there?
Will I be there
When all the stories fade?
When I am out of breath?
My yoke is your yoke
Is resting on our shoulders
And we share the weary load
My yoke is your yoke
We're just like two aging truckers
Down the road
Children of our parents
A storybook held close
A mom and dad's heartfelt work
Is worked down to the bone
And the leveraging meant everything
And so a palace for a home
The remains of the day
Were never shown, never known
Will I be there?
Will I be there
When all the stories fade?
When I am out of breath?
My yoke is your yoke
Is resting on our shoulders
And we share the weary load
My yoke is your yoke
We're just like two aging truckers
Down the road
Two aging truckers down the road
We now work in reverse
We salvage and we save
We fight the rust
One if by land, two if by grace
Sure as the spring will hail
The greenest in all things
Let the freshest of our love set sail
And float the open breeze
Will I be there?
Will I be there
When all the stories fade?
When I am out of breath?
Will I be there?
Will I be there
When all the stories, oh
My yoke is your yoke
Is resting on our shoulders
And we share the weary load
My yoke is your yoke
We're just like two aging truckers
Down the road
Two aging truckers down the road
Two aging truckers down the road
Two aging truckers down the road
Ragtime Carnival lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Come and dance with me, baby
Hitch a ride, all aboard
Don't you dare say, "I love you."
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the door
Hold me close, pretty baby
Come alive inside my heart
Don't you dare say, "I need you."
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the door
And I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old
Tell me it's true
Do you think of me
The way I still think of you?
Come and dance with me, baby
Take the carnival ride inside your heart
Lay your jewelry out before me
Say the words that make the world
Go round and round and round
Just be the love that sustains me
Come alive, come alive
Don't you dare say you'll miss me
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the door
But I'm getting old, whoa lord
I'm getting old
Tell me it's true
Do you think of me
The way I still think of you?
So, what's it take, pretty baby
I need a haircut and you can shave my face
There's a way that you touch me
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the

Come and dance with me, baby
I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old
Sparklers lyrics - Carbon Leaf
A little speck falls into the sky
Rub against the night in a flash of a fiery line
Little specks fall, pebbles, dust and sand
Things we hold inside our everyday hands
Somehow, somehow
We come alive just as we're flaming out
And we wish ourselves whole
And we hope ourselves pure
And we will ourselves different
And we pray ourselves upright
All the sparklers in the sky
Once around, if given time
They come out just fine
They come out just fine
The tears, the scars, the laughter, the love
The ebb and flow under the stars up above
How on earth, if we're just floating on by
Can all this darkness breed such beautiful light?
Somehow, somehow
We come alive just as we're flaming out
And we breathe ourselves calm
And we faith ourselves sure
And we sway ourselves evergreen
And we laugh, "Bring on the night."
All the sparklers in the sky
Once around, if given time
Will come out just fine
Will come out just fine
Will come out just fine (Will come out just fine)
Will come out just fine (Will come out just fine)
Will come out just fine (Will come out just fine)
Will come out just fine (Will come out just fine)
Will come out just fine (Will come out just fine)
Will come out just fine (Will come out just fine)
Will come out just fine (Will come out just fine)
Will come out just fine (Will come out just fine)
Will come out just fine... (Will come out just fine...)
Pierce My Heart lyrics - Carbon Leaf
I want to live in the evergreens
The Painted Desert's arid scenes
In the wilderness of your eye
I heard a sigh, your sigh or mine
In the staggering beauty
I'm climbing this beast's rigid spine
Dance to the rhythm of the aspen leaves
Quivering, quivering
Oh, what in the world?
What in the world?
Oh, what in the world?
What in the world?
Love, pierce my heart
Make it sound, make it whole
Love, pierce my heart
Fill it up, spill my soul
I want to fall through the canyonlands
Snake across the shifting sands
Glide the plateau while I resist
The quenching thirst, velveteen bliss
I want to live on the open breeze
Just a piece of wild terrain
All of these elements sculpting me
They carve your name
They carve your name
Oh, what in the world?
What in the world?
Oh, what in the world?
What in the world?
Love, pierce my heart
Make it sound, make it whole
Love, pierce my heart
Fill it up, spill my soul
Love, pierce my heart
Make it sound, make it whole
Love, pierce my heart
Fill it up, spill my soul
Love, pierce my heart
Make it sound, make it whole
Love, pierce my heart
Fill it up, spill my soul
Love, pierce my heart
Make it sound, make it whole
Love, pierce my heart
Fill it up, spill my soul
Love, pierce my heart
Make it sound, make it whole
Love, pierce my heart
Fill it up, spill my soul
Love, pierce my heart
Make it sound, make it whole
Love, pierce my heart
Fill it up, spill my soul
Wolfin Down Your Heart lyrics - Carbon Leaf
You're wolfing down your heart
You've hollowed out your soul
Your empty hands are enough to starve from
But still full enough to choke
Black crows, they're waiting for you
They know your ego's an empty bowl
You're searching to hold on to
Just something you can use
The crumbs you dropped, the threads from your buttons
The laces off of your own shoes
Black crows, they're waiting for you
They know your ego's an empty bowl
Climb to the top of your world
To find that there's nobody there
One set of boots at a time on the summit
It's lonely when there's no room to share
Black crows, they're circling you
They know your ego's an empty bowl
The heart's to be given away
Just as it was made
The soul's a much more ephemeral engine
Not tethered to earth-bound ways
So, say hello and settle in
Or hop upon the slightest breeze
If it doesn't take you where you hoped it would go
May it land you square on your knees
Black crows, they're waiting for you
They know your ego, your ego
Black crows on the telephone poles
You know your ego, you ego
Black crows on the side of the road
They know your ego's an empty bowl
You're wolfing down your heart
Tombstone Vs. Ashes lyrics - Carbon Leaf
A boy in church sat, confused
Father, son, holy ghost
Came as a package for the asking
Otherwise, no need to choose
Tombstone versus ashes
I can't decide
Cast my spirit heaven-bound?
Seal my bones up tight?
Tombstone versus ashes
Ain't it all the same?
Cast my spirit heaven-high
Let the ashes drift away
Oh ay, oh I...
Ain't we just like hay?
Cut and dried and baled
Our bodies grown to harvest souls
And used in some new way
Yeah, ain't we just like hay?
We're born to drift away
Til it's lesson time, when we're cut and dried
For the reasons why we're made
Tombstone versus ashes
I can't decide
Cast my spirit heaven-bound?
Seal my bones up tight?
Tombstone versus ashes
Ain't it all the same?
Cast my spirit heaven-high
Let the ashes drift away
Oh ay, oh I...
All this time, like firelight
A glimpse of what's in reach
Flickers out into night
All this time, like firelight
A glimpse of what's in reach
A box of watches and sweet memories
Are all that's left behind
Tombstone versus ashes
I can't decide
Cast my spirit heaven-bound?
Seal my bones up tight?
Tombstone versus ashes
Ain't it all the same?
Cast my spirit heaven-high
Let the ashes drift away
Oh ay, oh I...
Bloody Good Bar Fight Song lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Everything is fine
The spirit has to spill
This blood must turn to wine
Long before you're over the hill
Service to all the kings
Falling down on their pride
The lion's den hangs the crest
Of a man too occupied
Everything was fine
Until you bruised your way
Into my life
You're like one good bloody
Bloody good bar-fight song
Everything was fine
Until you bruised your way
Into my life
You're one good bloody
Bloody good bar-fight song
One good bloody
Bloody good bar-fight song
Everything you have
Is all you've ever known
Hang up the golden gloves
Time to claw down to the bone
Serve it up to swill
Til everything you have begins to spill
One is all you need
And all you need is life to sing along
Everything was fine
Until you bruised your way
Into my life
You're like one good bloody
Bloody good bar-fight song
Everything was fine
Until you bruised your way
Into my life
One good bloody
Bloody good bar-fight song
One good bloody
Bloody good bar-fight song
Everything was fine
Until you bruised your way
Into my life
You're one good bloody
Bloody good bar-fight song
Everything was fine
Just a few broken bones
Then the teeth begin to fly
One good bloody
Bloody good bar-fight song
One good bloody
Bloody good bar-fight song
One good bloody
Bloody good bar-fight song
The Donnybrook Affair lyrics - Carbon Leaf
A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray
A rough-n-tumble free-for-all
A broil, a brawl, a melee
A ruckus to be reckoned with
And now without delay
We're takin the road to the Dodder on down
To march in the last parade
A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray
A rough-n-tumble free-for-all
A broil, a brawl, a melee
A ruckus to be reckoned with
If anyone wants to dare
We're takin' the road to the Dodder on down
For the Donnybrook affair
I will go! I will meet you there
I will spend a week or two with you
At Donnybrook Fair
I will go! I will meet you there
But the council's up in arms
They aim to take it away I swear
The council's up in arms
They aim to take it away I swear
A license for leisure, What-e'er be the pleasure
The council's always up in arms
To try and take it away, hey!
Play the harp and play the fiddle
Play the whistle too
Bang the drum and use the lungs
To get the message through
But ya fight ya might get tar-n-feathered
So bow and say a prayer
To the commission for the abolition
Of the Donnybrook Fair
A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray
A rough-n-tumble free-for-all
A broil, a brawl, a melee
A ruckus to be reckoned with
If anyone wants to dare
We're takin' the road to the Dodder on down
For the Donnybrook affair
I will go! I will meet you there
I will spend a week or two with you
At Donnybrook Fair
I will go! I will meet you there
But the council's up in arms
They aim to take it away I swear
The council's up in arms
They aim to take it away I swear
A license for leisure, what-e'er be the pleasure
The council's always up in arms
To try and take it away, hey!

And now without delay
We're takin' the road to the Dodder on down
To march in the last parade

She's Gone (...For Good This Time) lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Round and round we do this song-and-dance
Sail the rocky ground romance is not a novel end of story
She thinks I'm the one and who's to say she's not the one
But for the time I just want some fun end of story
She threats to leave nearly every single week
Cuz I'm lazy and can't disagree
Now she's walking by and she just said have a nice life
And I do believe she's leaving me for good this time
Well she's gone. Gone for good this time
No yes why?
All she had to do to win my heart was say goodbye
She's gone. Gone for good this time
No yep why?
If you wanna win my heart just say goodbye, goodbye
One more time...
It makes her mad when I talk in circles
I know it's bad but I get that way when cornered end of story
The tide has turned and in her head the wheels are turning
Burning red and churning up some troubles and they're for me
She threats to leave me every week
She says it drives her mad, and I can't disagree
At the risk of losing something great
I paused...she caught me hesitate
And now she's leaving me for good this time
Well she's gone. Gone for good this time
No yes why?
All she had to do to win my heart was say goodbye
Well she's gone. Gone for good this time
No yes why?
If you wanna win my heart just say goodbye, goodbye
One more time...
Round and round we do this song-and-dance
Sail the rocky ground romance is not a novel end of story
She thinks I'm the one and who's to say she's not the one
But for the time I just want some fun end of story
She threats to leave me nearly single week
Cuz I won't grow up and talk about L... L...
Lo and behold dear the only thing bigger
Than my fear of commitment is saying so long
She's gone. Gone for good this time
No yes why?
All she had to do to win my heart was say goodbye
Well she's gone. Gone for good this time
No yes why?
If you wanna win my heart just say goodbye, goodbye
If you wanna win my heart just say goodbye, goodbye
one more time?
Oi lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Oi!
Rising ash, falling snow, she used to lie and adore ye
Winding long tails of woe, she used to lie and adore ye
Nightingale, ashen-pale, whistling tunes, yeah, the moon still adores ye
Now, now, you're so young and proud, but another name for that will be 'lonely'
Pick the lock, sweep the floor, leave without a sound
Just allow the empty space to heal
Oi!
Bound in chains with a thousand rains; no wonder the storm still adores ye
Hold me down or hold me now, screaming, “I still love and adore ye!”
Past the door, winter storms through the streets of your unending longings
Flow down now to frost the ground
Like cool Hallelujahs
On the bridge that connects us; high, high above all this torrent
Should you fall down, that wall of sound's howling, “I still love and adore ye!”
Pick the lock, sweep the floor, leave without a sound
Just allow the empty space to heal [2X]
Oi!
A Song For The Sea lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Where, where do they go?
Where are the fishermen gone?
Headed for home
Onto the sea
Under the sun
Into the ocean
Straight into the rum
Where, where do they go?
Where are the fishermen gone?
Headed for home
Into the sea
Covered in brine
Into the open
Hauling the lines
Sail, sail, sailor beware
Where, where do they go?
Where are the fishermen gone?
Headed for home
Into the wind
Onto the wakes
Under the gale, boys
Gathering breaks
Sail, sail, sailor beware
Sail, sail, sailor beware
Way, swept away
Into the ocean
Pulled to the brave
Gather the sea
A watery grave
Under the foam
Holds the luck of this age
Sail, sail, sailor beware
Sail, sail, sailor beware
Where, where do they go?
Where are the fishermen gone?
Resting at home
Deep in the lungs
Just out of reach
Singing a song
Singing a song
A song for the sea
Sail, sail, sailor beware
Sail, sail, sailor beware
Sail, sail, sailor beware
Sail, sail, sailor beware
The Fox And The Hare lyrics - Carbon Leaf
I will fight Nazis to keep you with me!
And I would face zombies eating flesh in the street!
And I would tame lions and tigers and bears,
Run away, run away from the fox you young hare,
Run away, run away, you've been caught unprepared,
Run away, run away unprepared.
Well I am no BoyScout but I'm always prepared.
Don't call me a hero, 'cause I never fight fair.
Just doin' my job protecting what's mine,
Honey you know you're free to go any old time.
Boys... Run away and you will despair,
Run away boys, you are way unprepared.
And I will fight Nazis to keep you with me,
And I would face zombies eating flesh in the street,
And I would tame lions and tigers and bears,
Run away, run away from the fox you young hares,
Run away, run away, you've been caught unprepared,
Run away you are way unprepared.
To the ledge, the ledge, I will meet you all there.
To the ledge, the ledge, if anyone dares,
A path for a duel of some musical chairs,
Just make sure you brake to the wings and affair.
Boys... Run away and you will despair,
Run away boys, you are way unprepared.
And I would fight Nazis to keep you with me,
And I would face zombies eating flesh in the street,
And I would tame lions and tigers and bears,
Run away, run away from the fox you young hare,
Run away , run away, you've been caught unprepared,
Run away you are way unprepared.
Don't hate to be lovely, you beautiful thing,
Without a few sutiors, circling the ring,
But I'm cunning, crafty, recoursceful, and smart,
And I know a good gal don't just give up her heart.
To the ledge, to the ledge, I'll meet you all there,
To the ledge, the ledge if anyone dares,
To the victor, the spoils, the winner takes all,
And the rest of ya take turns makin' eachother fall.
And I will fight Nazis to keep you with me,
And I would face zombies, eating flesh in the street,
And I would tame lions and tigers and bears,
Run away. run away from the fox you young hare,
Run away, run away from the fox you young hare,
Run away, run away unprepared.
I Love Victory! lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Times are tough but don't you frown
We'll pick us up and knock us down
You hang your head, I'll raise it high
Once around with a victory cry
Your body falls on me
I love victory
Nothing to break and bleed
I love victory
The race is on, you know?
I love victory
The final punch a victory blow
I love victory
Oh, that's the goal
Whoa, that's the goal
Victory, march it home!
Tear it down and raise it again
Show me the start, I'll show you the end
If I should die, for goodness sake
Get me back in time for the wake
Pass the cup around
I love victory
Lift it to the clouds
I love victory
Fear is on the ground
I love victory
We're never looking down
I love victory (yeah)
Oh, that's the goal
Whoa, march it home
Victory, march it home!
You take me down, I'll learn from that
Return the favor and pick up your hat
I float, I sail, I sprint on the wind
"How's it done?" I'll show you again
I punch, I bleed, I sweat
I love victory
What's the victor get?
I love victory
Swerve and curse and race
I love victory
You're caught up in the victory pace
I love victory
Oh, that's the goal
Whoa, march it home
Victory, march it home!
Sad And Alone lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Sad and alone, sad and alone
Woe is me toast, I'm so sad and alone
Raise a glass high to me, myself and I
Sometimes you need time to be sad and alone
Well, if you're at home and you're drinking alone
A toast to the boozer, the loser you are
But hey, it's okay, we all have our dog day
Tomorrow's a new day and the booze is not far
Sometimes you just need to, you must
Drown in your cup of woes
Sad and alone, sad and alone
Woe is me toast, I'm so sad and alone
Raise a glass high to me, myself and I
And drink yourself silly
A toast to self-pity
Sometimes you need time to be sad and alone
Whoa, so sad and alone
As I drink one sorrow-filled glass
One drop falls with a splash
Onto the table, what have I become
As I lap it up, just like a dog, with my tongue?
Sad and alone, sad and alone
Woe is me toast, I'm so sad and alone
Raise a glass high to me, myself and I
And drink yourself silly
A toast to self-pity
Sometimes you feel shitty
Sometimes you need time to be sad and alone
Whoa, so sad and alone
Whoa, so sad and alone
1, 2, 3 beers, I'm through
4, 5, don't need to drive
6, 7, 7-11
Is right on the corner, there's no need to cry
Sometimes you just need to, you must
Drown in your cup of woe
Sad and alone, sad and alone
Woe is me toast, I'm so sad and alone
Raise a glass high to me, myself and I
And drink yourself silly
A toast to self-pity
Sometimes you feel shitty
Yeah, real itty bitty
So, just sing this here ditty
A song for yourself
And your selfish self-pity
And let's fill to the brim
With some woe
Cause sometimes you need time to be sad and alone
Whoa, so sad and alone
Whoa, so sad and alone
Whoa, so sad and alone
Whoa, so sad and alone...
The Road Is Breaking My Heart lyrics - Carbon Leaf
The road is breaking my heart
And I can barely breathe
One of us here is bound to stay
And the other, bound to leave
The road is breaking my heart
So is on the move
How can it be so involuntary and always the thing that I choose?
Always the thing that I choose
The road is breaking my heart
And it's no wonder why
And I will let it kill me
Before I let it see me cry
The road is breaking my heart
With a vision of us remains
Somewhere further down the road we're rich, or changing tires in the rain
You have a child and you're bound to want more
I cannot provide
I can't be the man that you want
In a house where I don't reside
In a town where I don't reside
The road is breaking my heart
And it's no wonder why
But I will let it kill me
Before I let it see me cry
Before I let it see me cry
The road is breaking my heart
As I pass through the state line
The fields are bled of everything
It's so beautiful, stark, and unkind
I know roads change and things march along
And if we can't meet at its end
If thinking of you is the best I can do
Then I'll go there time and again
Yeah, I'll go there time and again
The road is breaking my heart
And it's no wonder why
But I will let it kill me
Before I let it see me cry
The road is breaking my heart
But isn't it breaking them all?
The travel must be worth the trip
Before we sputter, and stammer, and fall
Before we sputter, and stammer, and fall
La da da da da de day
La da de da da da de day
La da de da da da de day
La da de dayyyy
La da da dayyy mmmmm
