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
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, you know I'm yours

Come and dance with me, baby
Come and dance with me, baby
Come and dance with me, baby
Come and dance with me, baby
(I'm getting old, oh lord)
Come and dance with me, baby
(I'm getting old, oh lord)
Come and dance with me, baby
(I'm getting old, oh lord)
Come and dance with me, baby
(I'm getting old, oh lord)
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!

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 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
And they aim to take it away I swear

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
The council's always up in arms
To try and take it away, hey!

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
