Frail 08:48
lyrics

Frail Frail little notes that the robin sings what will the evening bring when we're alone? You wake alone in winter afraid of what is here everything is over frail little notes... that the robin sings at the dark end of dawn listen to the silence. What will begin in the winter time what will beginnnnnnn? LOUD in this time of year in the absent time in this time of year Waking alone in the winter time who gives a damn about you? Everything is over everything is gone. Hear the note that the robin sings you pick at the space between. LOUD cruelty unseen cruelty unseen cruelty unseen You're spilling the light from your hand picking up eager spilling of light everything is bright now everything is bright frail little notes that the robin sings you pick at the space between LOUD in this time of year in the absent time in this time of year cruelty unseen cruelty unseen cruelty unseen cruelty unseen

Dream-catcher All the time that my heart was frozen still I gave everything to you there was silver & gold in parting how the wealth came flowing through there was silver & gold in parting how the wealth came flowing through Something stirred that in time was woken and the dream was again alive hours & days they kept falling through me light & shade on every side hours & days they kept falling through me light & shade on every side There's a face on the low horizon there's a dream-catcher riding high do you know any truths about me the broken stones that weigh each smile? Do you know any truths about me the broken stones that weigh each smile?

Torches 05:29
lyrics

TORCHES When the night is over and morning comes around all the dreams you held inside slip away on their own without a sound Waking slow in winter there's no energy around and the torches wandering through the night what they're searching for is never found emptiness surrounds you you pick & then you choose all the days that let you down all the lives you know were born to lose that's the way it goes that's the way of everything you know Everyone around you is painted like a clown and the jokes you never find pack a punch before they've fallen down frail the notes you're singing with spaces in between and the light from all the things you've loved flickers like you know it's never been that's the way it goes everything but feeling shows it's what you know when the day is over and your dreams have just begun and she leans in shade & shadow she paints a moon as yellow as the sun waking slow in winter there's no energy around and the torches wander through the night what they're searching for is never found emptiness surrounds you you pick and then you choose all the days that let you down all the lives you know were born to lose that's the way it goes that's the way of everything you know learn to let it go
