Neap Tide 04:57
He brings me coffee and teas from overseas He brings a lighthouse to my door And in the books he reads he finds the keys that make him so sweet Like bare feet on hardwood floor But where is he hiding the textbooks and binding they’re fading away The currents pull south where the poets all drown It won’t be the first time I lose to the city Lost in a cave, we heard a siren cry The sailor said he was in awe The water pours through Brooklyn skies and people run, they run on by We just walk But where will we hide, future will not abide, she’s right on our heels The people will march, artists don’t have the heart They do, they think, they feel And the lights they keep changing They stop and go, we’ll start it slow They’re just lights after all no one cares, so we’ll stall Wasting time with you is fine by me Shadows can’t be given borderlines So we’ll try Sail away with me Sail away with me He brings me coffee and teas from overseas But sometimes just the corner store I’ve seen his dark side I’ll admit, once he lied But I have told an awful lie before Now I’ll have bare feet on hardwood floor And I’ll sing to the sailor from the shore Sail away with me, I said Sail away with me

As her sleeve slips down her shoulder She fixes her hair, she acts like she cares While he just stares ‘cross the room like a soldier Thinking of gifts he can give for her kiss This old fashioned melody It serves me quite nicely when I’m lonely Because she doesn’t love you like I do And I dreamed of castles and clouds, we’d have such a view And you give me chills when you walk through my door I couldn’t ask for more than to be yours, than to be yours As the waves sweep ‘cross the sand I see him unplanned but it’s all a scam They’re holding hands as they walk ‘cross the bayside But he waves hi to me This old fashioned melody It serves me quite nicely when I’m lonely And I’m lonely Because she doesn’t love you like I do And I dreamed of castles and clouds, we’d have such a view And you give me chills when you walk through my door I couldn’t ask for more than to be yours All these promises are leaving bandages on me And I’m lonely because You never loved me like I you And I dreamed of castles and clouds, there’ll be no such view And you gave me chills, but you walked through that door I couldn’t ask for more than to be yours, than you be yours

Mama wants babies but Daddy don’t care Daddy owns half of France, Mama don’t care 'Cause the man in the moon’s got a lure that is hard to beware When we stare too hard we start silent love affairs Write it all down you’ll lose sight of your goal Think of the grandchildren, they’d like to know Gloria in excelsis Deo Time, string of presence, hear me roar Say a little prayer for me I am smoky ash on a stormy sea Ain’t it nice that the stars are out ‘Cause darkness does not suite me But I think it’s healthy Hole through the wall I can see my old man Tying the moon to a cinderblock pan Signing contracts, laying the law of the land If God is who I think He is, He’ll understand Say a little prayer for me I am smoky ash on a stormy sea Ain’t it nice that the stars are out ‘Cause darkness does not suite me But I know it’s healthy

Quiet World 03:57
Alaska, my sister She tells me you’re not real And I don’t know why, I don’t know why The Quiet World, it does not satisfy Spaghetti mermaids and friendly squirrels We were just girls, we were just girls And I don’t know why, I don’t know why The night time, it tends to make me cry In silence, in silence In my cotton cocoon I’ll meet you there soon Alaska, I promise Someday, we’ll be free but Don’t look for me, don’t look for me I’ll be waiting In silence, my silence In my cotton cocoon I’ll meet you there soon My silence, my silence In my cotton cocoon I’ll meet you there soon, soon
