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
Christmas Child lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Winter's eve is creepin' in on December first, on a cold wind
And on the pantry door hangs a calendar
Counting down the days with their little doors
And I am just a Christmas Child
I lie upon the floor by the firelight in my home
Winter's eve, December 4. The tree is up and the lights adorn
I push the cloves into a tangerine
Fetch the holly from a neighbor's tree
And I am just a Christmas Child
I lie upon the floor by the firelight in my home
And I will lie lie lie awake
I will lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away
Three weeks til Christmas Day
Winter's eve is nearer still, the house she creaks and the wind chills
Howlin' wind but I remain safely by the lighted pane
The frost, right upon the glass
You see the treeline fade into the dark of night right on time
And I will lie lie lie awake
I will lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away
I will lie lie lie awake
Lie lie lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away
Two weeks til Christmas Day
And I will lie lie lie awake
I will lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away
I will lie lie lie awake
Lie lie lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away
I will lie lie lie awake
Lie lie lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away
One week til Christmas Day
One week til Christmas Day
One week til Christmas Day
Red Punch / Green Punch lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Nothing says Christmas like a party out at my great aunts
Out on the front lawn, some things never change
A manger scene, wise man, and herd of sheep so fantastic
Hard covered plastic blinking in the yard
Red punch, green punch, Brach holiday mints and some peanuts
The more things stay the same you know, the more they stay the same
Red punch, green punch, silver bowl of mints and some peanuts
The great aunts of the world you know will never change their game
Figurines like memories
Ceramics pulled from the basement, fire-glazed in 1963
Silent night music box, travel back in time
When Christmas always always shines
Red punch, green punch, Brach holiday mints and some peanuts
The more things stay the same you know
The more they stay the same
Red punch, green punch, silver bowl of mints and some peanuts
The great aunts of the world you know will never change their game
The poor years, the war years, the 50s and the 60s and the born years
Christmas in the 70s and the early 80s never fade
Red punch, green punch
Never thought that I could miss it so much
The more things change, you know
I think some things should stay the same
Red punch, green punch, silver bowl of mints and some peanuts
The great aunts of the world may come and go
But they never change their game
Ice And Snow lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Ice and snow
Ice and snow falling in time
Together they mingle and freeze
Ice and show
Just like the shade and the light
It's the blinding confusion
When the two of them meet
Ice and snow
Ice and snow, weary I know
But a fortress is not a reprieve
If I could melt ice and snow
Would you believe
That I would choose not to
To keep you with me
Souls in the shadows
Arms stretched to believe
Ghosts and their messengers
Sent to receive
Slip through the grasp
With the greatest of ease
Love me, just love me
'Till I rest at ease
Ice and snow
Ice and snow when it's the worst
You get the best of them both
Ice and snow
Ice and snow inside this fortress
But cold and alone
Makes no heart worthy home
Souls in the shadows
Arms stretched to believe
Ghosts and their messengers
Sent to receive
Slip through the grasp
With the greatest of ease
Love me, just love me
'Till I rest at ease
Souls in the shadows
Ice over snow
Once in a life
Just a few more to go
The start and the end
You know nobody knows
The part of life's living
When anything goes
Ice and snow
Ice and snow falling in time
Here one day
The next day it's gone
If I could melt ice and snow
Would you believe
That I would choose not to
To keep you with me
That I would choose not to
To keep you with me
Ode To The Snow lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Snowfall requires listening
And the silence it brings is deafening
As it whispers it echoes echoes through my bones
Bury me like silent peace
These gifts they fall like ancient memories
Like voices from the past cascading down
And the stillness drifts back in like possibility
And in the silence is where you find the song
And I'm blinded by the ease of letting go
Worlds shutting down... Just an ode to the snow
Tree limbs bend and spring up again
The snowfall fumbling down through the pines
To baptize, to confirm the frozen hallowed ground
Exhume my youth, everlasting change
Blankets entomb, the dreary colors fade
And I'm reminded to the time when I did everything
When the stillness drifts back in like possibility
And in the silence is where you find the song
And I'm blinded by the ease of letting go
Worlds shutting down... Just an ode to the snow
When the stillness drifts back in like possibility
And in the silence is where you find the song
When I'm blinded by the ease of letting go
Worlds shutting down... Just an ode to the snow
Worlds shutting down... Just an ode to the snow
Christmas At Sea lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Trying hard to stay awake
Christmas cards stacked on the table
I am at my desk thinking of you
Note after note
I spell out the season's greeting
Trying hard to keep them from becoming
Letters of distress
C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S-O-S
A boat afloat at sea
Row you to me
Christmas at sea
Harboring the distant sound
It travels fast as rolling
Water I'm still at my desk, now I'm writing you
The house is dressed, the season's ornaments unpacked from the TV box
Silver, red, gold, and green
The window's lit, the tree is glowing
C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S-O-S
A boat afloat at sea
Row you to me
Christmas at sea
C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S-O-S a boat afloat at sea
Row you to me
And I apologize, it's late at night, if my mind is drifting, just let it slide
And I apologize, it's late at night
The weather has been nice
The streets abuzz with holiday
Traffic lights, of course, take forever
To make it through
The winter beach is clean and clear
I like how the lights just disappear
Over water
Over water
C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S-O-S, a boat afloat at sea, row you to me
Christmas at C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S-O-S, a boat afloat at sea, row you to me
Christmas at sea (and I apologize) S-O-S, a boat afloat at sea (it's late at night, if my mind is drifting) row you to me (just let it slide)
Christmas at sea (I apologize) S-O-S, a boat afloat at sea (it's late at night, if my mind is drifting) row you to me (just let it slide)
Christmas at C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S-O-S (I apologize), a boat afloat at sea (it's late at night, if my mind is drifting) row you to me (just let it slide)
Christmas at C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S-O-S (I apologize), a boat afloat at sea (it's late at night, if my mind is drifting) row you to me (just let it slide)
Christmas at C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S-O-S (I apologize), a boat afloat at sea (it's late at night, if my mind is drifting) row you to me (just let it slide)
Christmas at C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S-O-S (I apologize), a boat afloat at sea (it's late at night, if my mind is drifting) row you to me
Toast To The New Year lyrics - Carbon Leaf
In the richest of seasons, we're drenched to the bone
While the light is still bright, we bring the year to a close
Sometimes we're standing there naked
Frozen in our own past, and winter's ritual colors
She rings out her last
And in the richest of seasons, in these colors we bathe
We greet the onset of winter and what we know she will take
And so you make resolutions, if it's all just the same
If a wound is a wound, why not just cut myself upon change?
In black and light, the year is formally closed
Yet still the darkest of seasons shimmer silver and gold
So let's dress up like penguins, we'll huddle en masse
We will ring in the new year, we'll throw a curse to the last
And so we make resolutions, if it's all just the same
If a wound is a wound, why not just cut myself upon change?
And so a toast to the New Year, and farewell to the last
May we dream ourselves forward, frozen wind at our backs
And so a toast to the New Year, and farewell to the last
May we dream ourselves forward, frozen wind at our backs
Another toast to the New Year, may we spring back to life
When the colors start shifting in the burgeoning light
May we spring back to life... may we spring back to life
When the colors start shifting in the burgeoning light
In black and white, the year is formally closed
