Torn To Tattered lyrics - Carbon Leaf

In a classroom somewhere alone
Looking at the window scene
Tune out the tutor in me
Sun is going down through the line of trees
I day dream

And in my head I walk along
All the paths we have been on
There is a chance to bridge the line
Between two points ruptured in time
You lived your life like nothing else mattered
And now you're torn, torn to tattered

And I don't need any apology
And you know I don't need any apology
And it's a long walk away
Oh, it's a long walk away
Torn, tattered. torn...

Certain things make me feel
Like it was when we could steal
The magic of moments real
Revisit. remember. reunion. re-ember
The white smell of burning leaves
Walk along...
You walk the path like Charlie Brown
You're full of hope, but with your head down
And you only have one eye to see
The other's closed, and too scared to peak
And silence of the heart can leave you shattered
And now you're torn, torn to tattered

And I don't need any apology
And you know I don't need any apology
And it's a long walk away
Oh, it's a long walk away
Torn, tattered. torn...

Through the line of trees I dream
of only good remembering
I think of you. was it...
Was it ever so bad my friend? And what was...
What was ever so bad my friend?
And in my head I walk along,
All of the paths we should be on
The sun is down, enjoyed the dream
I'm full of hope, that you think of me
I think of you and how much you mattered
When I'm torn, torn to tattered

And I don't need any apology
And you know I don't need any apology
And it's a long walk away
Oh, it's a long walk away
Torn, tattered. torn...

Mellow Tone lyrics - Carbon Leaf

You're on my fingers you're on my paper
We're close but far; here we are there you are
You're on my weak heart. my heart is tissue
My heart's a scar. here we are there you are

You're mellow tone. The stepping stone
To whittle away to get me home
I travel far to bed the floor.
I've come a long way, I've come to miss
your Mellow Tone.

Mellow Tone. Mellow Tone. Mellow Tone.

Where now to begin? This deadend cove...Oh
To feel your warm skin
beneath your clothes, beneath your clothes
Dilate me in your pool,
erase my memory start anew
Hide where no one knows.
beneath your clothes. beneath your clothes.

The zenith hum, the perfect strum
I have become completely numb
Tone of your heartbeat, tone of your breathing,
tone of your fingertips
I'm receiving mellow tone...

You're mellow tone. The stepping stone
To whittle away to get me home
I travel far to bed the floor.
I've come a long way, I've come to miss
your Mellow Tone.

The zenith hum, the perfect strum
I have become completely numb
Tone of your heartbeat, tone of your breathing,
tone of your fingertips
I'm receiving mellow tone...

Shine lyrics - Carbon Leaf

Should I shy down. that's boring. snoring
I'd like to teach me to sing in perfect harmony
And I'd like to change the world.
It's easier than changing me
And I'd like to find one girl who knows me
Strum bang the drum alound or pt it down
and figure out if I'm out of line
Sit around and figure out if I'm wasting time

Wait for the sign. it's time to shine shine shine
Wait for the sign. it's time to shine shine shine

Why should I sh-shy down. how are you? fine.
Why should I sit around
and be dead and never shine
It's the giant so defiant. But I'm happier if I can sleep
If I wake though. volcano. Fee Fi Fo
Fum bang the drum aloud or put it down
and figure out if I'm out of line
Sit around and figure out if I'm wasting time

Wait for the sign. it's time to shine shine shine
Wait for the sign. it's time to shine shine shine

Lit a fire under my assets
I'd like to, I try to tread tightly, so slightly
When the forest is before us,
but we can't see for all the trees
That's when they fall, that's when I call
The good Paul Bunyun
bang the drum aloud or put it down
and figure out if I'm out of line

Wait for the sign. it's time to shine shine shine
Wait for the sign. it's time to shine shine shine
We're out of line. it's time to shine shine shine
Wait for the sign. we're gonna shine shine shine

Mary Mac lyrics - Carbon Leaf

There's a neat little lass and her name is Mary Mac
Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track
Lot of other fellas want to get up on her back
But I'm thinking that they'll have to get up early

Mary Mac's mother's making Mary Mac marry me
My mother's making me marry Mary Mac
Well I'm going to marry Mary for when Mary's taking care of me
We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mac
KAIYUT-LIT-L-LOT-LIT-L-LOTL-LEETLE-UM

This wee little lass she has a lot of class
She has a lot of brass and her mother thinks I'm gas
I think she's an ass to let the matter pass
But my mother thinks she suits me rather fairly

Mary Mac's mother's making Mary Mac marry me
My mother's making me marry Mary Mac
Well I'm going to marry Mary for when Mary's taking care of me
We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mac
KAIYUT-LIT-L-LOT-LIT-L-LOTL-LEETLE-UM

I Know The Reason lyrics - Carbon leaf

You talk tough to me and it makes me smile
By the old church yard your feelings hide
I know the reason
And you won't say:
"If we grow too close, will you push away?"
I know the reason

And I like, that we're the same
Waterfall...

Are you afrain to love? You afraid to smile?
From the inside out, to the open wide?
I know the feeling. You're way too proud
And will they find you out if you laugh out loud?

I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall. Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why. I know the reason
I thought you should know. I know the reason.

I'll never be the same.
I clearly see umbrella in the rain
Over you and me
You are the best thing. Let it show
And if we grow to close, let it undertow
This is the best thing

I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall. Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why. I know the reason
I thought you should know. I know the reason.

Should we fall down?
fall down. fall down. fall down
fall down. fall down.

I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall. Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why. I know the reason
I thought you should know. I know the reason.

Lonesome Pine lyrics - Carbon Leaf

She made her way. She felt she was to blame
And her porcelain dolls - she's boxed them all
And along the way, she changed her name

Lonesome Pine, rain or shine
Stands alone. Roots unknown
And I'm as brave as you
And I'm as 'fraid as you
And I'm as brave as you
And I'm as afraid as you are too

She let me in. And then, she changed her mind
With a sad echo. She's all her own
She shook the blame. She changed her name

Lonesome Pine, rain or shine
Stands alone. Roots unknown
And I'm as brave as you
And I'm as 'fraid as you
And I'm as brave as you
And I'm as afraid as you are too

Follow The Lady lyrics - Carbon Leaf

She's assigned a witch to spell my heart
and now I'm drawn to her
And my feigning resistance is waning,
light as gossamer
And I mind...
In this dark, flint a spark. Shady lady,
it glows out of you
Through this complex of cobwebs
revelaing a heart for
open view. And I mind...I mind. I mind. I mind

Follow the lady, go far...

She's assigned a witch to spell my heart
and now I'm drawn to her
Siren song draw the ships, orchastrate the
eclipse of this amateur
Then a warm sun arrived,
Shady lady flows out of you
Like the faintest of pulses revived,
and what else can you do?

And I mind....I mind. I mind. I mind

Follow the lady, go far.
follow the lady, go far. I'm far from letting go
Letting go...Lady, how's the ending go?
Follow the lady, go far.

Desperation Song lyrics - Carbon Leaf

Here I'm debating time, I'm waiting
chme the wake
Free fall the cannonball volcanic
shatters on the lake

You settle down, where you runnin to?
What else can you prove?
How many, many more until you lose?
You thought a better plan could
shake this shadow land
This frozen tundra hand...

I'm turning it from shade to light
Hold it up to candlelight, roaring into firelight,
Scorching up the charlatans until it's city wide
All the people mobilize, nothing left to polarize
And nothing left to fake

Ring around the lake. Ring around the lake.

Right on time. will you stay
throught the pouring rain?
Right on time...through the night,
your laughter is my light
Right on time, desperation song

Dear I have missed your sigh
since crystal skies moved on
Peer out through Shadow's doubt
I had no passion all along

You settle down. where you running to?
What else can you prove?
Is this all a game? Was this all a ruse?
I've waited by the phone. Cold as river stone
Anxiety. Alone...

I'm turning it from shade to light
Hold it up to candlelight, roaring into firelight,
Scorching up the charlatans until it's city wide
All the people mobilize, nothing left to polarize
And nothing left to fake

Ring around the lake. Ring around the lake.

Right on time. will you stay
throught the pouring rain?
Right on time...through the night,
your laughter is my light
Right on time, desperation song
Right on time, desperation song

I'm turning it from shade to light
Hold it up to candlelight, roaring into firelight,
Scorching up the charlatans until it's city wide
All the people mobilize, nothing left to polarize
And nothing left to fake

Right on time. will you stay
throught the pouring rain?
Right on time...through the night,
your laughter is my light
Right on time, desperation song
Right on time, desperation song

Toy Soldiers lyrics - Carbon Leaf

Today I strike out on my own
The dog is dead. The kids have grown
I fell asleep in my writing chair
I drempt I'd found my childhood stare
To family dinner Christmas night
We'd cross the river shipyard lights
Before the heartbreak and unknown
Today I strike out on my own

Hi-diddely-o, didn't ya know?
You fade once you glow
Didn't ya know, child?
After the ryhme, high time
diddely-o, didn't you know?
You fade once you glow.
Didn't ya known, child?
After the ryhme, high time.

The families gather but we're all
Mere Shadows in this Banquet Hall
I'm beggin mom will you understand
I'm beggin dad will you hold her hand
To play outside was all i'd known
And Christmas lights on every home

Hi-diddely-o, didn't ya know?
You fade once you glow
Didn't ya know, child?
After the ryhme, high time
diddely-o, didn't you know?
You fade once you glow.
Didn't ya known, child?
After the ryhme, high time.

We find the people of our dreams
We find that they're not what they seem
I've learned that people come and go
I've learned that families break and grow
Toy soldiers brave away those tears
Toy soldiers hope for better years
Today I strike out on my own
The dog is dead. We kids have grown.

Hi-diddely-o, didn't ya know?
You fade once you glow
Didn't ya know, child?
After the ryhme, high time
diddely-o, didn't you know?
You fade once you glow.
Didn't ya known, child?
After the ryhme, high time.

Maybe Today lyrics - Carbon Leaf

It's Sunday noon in my room
The wind is really ragin'
Inside I'll hide in my tune
And think of yesterday playing
'In my room'
'In my room'
I feel like a kite high in a tree
Is this where I'm suppose to be?
I wish I was a little boy
When love was taken care of
I know. I will say.
Maybe today.

It's Sunday noon, cocoon and heal
Oh no, please don't throw me in the briar.
Where mothers made all the meals
And fathers built the fire
When will this feeling go away?
When will this feeling ever stay?

Maybe today. Maybe today.
Maybe today. Maybe today.
And now I'm not so mournful
As I sit and watch the wind blow
This place is my cathedral
And the choir's swaying just outside the window
Everyone needs a day to dream, perchance
Today I have yesterday to tempt me
So c'mon put on your best dress and let's dance
For the chairs are all but empty
When will this feeling go away?
When will this feeling ever stay?

Maybe today. Maybe today.
Maybe today. Maybe today.
