Let's take it slow
And work our way back to simple
Simple minded, simple thought
Simply fooling, simply not
Simply running out of time
Let's move on in
Pack our bags and find our within
We've been waiting for our lives
Like a train that never came
Finding one thing that stays the same
And I know this much is true
That even the bluest birds don't stay blue
Let's shed some light
Then we'll take some time to shed our skin
Wasting time to heal the scars
Lifting pain that isn't ours
Finding words to whisper in the dark
And I know this much is true
That even the bluest birds don't stay blue
Track Name: Shipwreck
Trapped inside this crowded room
and the strangers gather round
Looking for a familiar face
and not a friend to be found
Search among the shipwreck and you'll find me among the drowned.
I wear this parachute to keep me from going down.
Well, baby, you've got your problems and I've got mine
I wish other peoples' demands didn't take up all our time
We live in a world of concentrated rhythm and rhyme
If only we knew that words weren't so kind
Track Name: 1993
I've seen it all before
Pockets open as the contents hit the floor
Make room for me
In your pockets, by the quarter dated 1993
So please concern yourself with me
And find me 'tween the two oak trees
My heart like sand, your blood the sea
and watch your love wash over me
Pedal to the floor chasing the red lights
Facing dreams that were too far out of sight
Touch a language all its own
That greets with your hands to my sleeping bones
So please concern yourself with me
and find me 'tween the two oak trees
my heart like sand, your blood the sea
and watch your love wash over me
