Another Boring Day
03:45

|
I woke up in the hayloft, a rooster on my chest,
And I swear he had said to me,
“Love ain’t be dead, but love is still young.”
I’ve never been very wise, threw my back out last night
When i tried to move the hill
Up for a better view of you, yeah, one close to you.
I’ve been running drunk and stupid
Through the woods late at night.
And I’ve been waiting for you sweet darling, yeah,
I’m just trying to pass the time,
Cause it’s another boring day since you’ve gone.
I spent all day carving a masterpiece out
Of a stump, it was you,
But I didn’t have the touch to make it the way I want.
So I’ve been talking to sun-warped rubber buckets,
“Turn your water into wine,
So I could spend my nights with the loveliest girl on my mind.”
I’ve been running drunk and stupid
Through the woods late at night.
And I’ve been waiting for you sweet darling, yeah,
I’m just trying to pass the time,
Cause it’s another boring day since you’ve gone.
I’ve been running drunk and stupid
Through the woods late at night.
And I’ve been waiting for you sweet darling, yeah,
I’m just trying to pass the time,
Cause it’s another boring day since you’ve gone.
Yeah, it’s another boring day since you’ve gone.
Yeah, they’re just all boring days since you’ve gone.

Lily, don’t ya know?
The truth is somewhere out there,
Oh somewhere in the cold.
Lily, can’t ya see
That I’ve been a sorry ass fool for you?
Do you feel the same for me?
So come on, come on, Lily,
What will it be?
And Lily, am I fallen from grace?
Am I fallen from your tender lovin’,
And your sweet pretty face?
So come on, come on, Lily,
What will it be?

Blackbirds and Foxtails
03:56
|
|||
|
Don’t let the winds blow you over
When the signs of the stars are on your shoulders.
And don’t let your hair hide your eyes,
Cause I swear I saw the fox steal by.
And the blackbirds singing those songs are sad,
Cause you stole their hearts and you wont give ‘em back.
Change is on the leaves in autumn,
And all our sad ghosts are forgotten,
But that sweet summer wine is on my lips,
And I’ve learned the words to your favorite hymn.
And the foxtails are there waving in the hills,
Now my chin’s made a mark on the window sill.
And I’m watching the fox with the rooster’s quill,
And that proud wind is blowing with a chill.

Circles
03:50

Will you still remember when you’ve grown old, my dear,
Running like we did in that summer.
When we were just kids fooling around by the lake
You said our games were just so simple.
Yeah, we were chasing love in circles.
So we roamed that little town even after those ghosts came out,
And I held you so tight so you wouldn’t get scared.
And I whispered in you ear ‘bout the magic show of the puppeteer,
And how he pulls lonely hearts with riddles.
Yeah, he was spinning us in circles.
And you said you could see past the hills and your quiet dreams,
Something like a carnival of animals.
So you drew pictures of it all, and used every color from the crayon box,
But the beauty was in the mess left on the table.
Yeah, and I was drawing circles.
Well I told you we’re just getting old,
It’s hard enough to be living anyways.
And I know you, and the years they've shown,
The best of what we are just fades away.
So will you still remember when you’ve grown old, my dear,
That bitter boy you left in that summer?
Well he’s only gotten old, and sometimes he still dreams alone,
But now he knows nothing’s ever simple.
He’s still running in circles.

Blinding Light
03:50
|

|
Have you ever seen the lights
Fall from the heavens?
All those colors spinning in your eyes,
I just call it heaven.
Well I stayed up most every night,
And watched those stars fall down.
Take my coat, and steal my pride,
Most things go in the flash of blinding light.
Oh, blinding light.
I felt the warmth from your heart,
But I didn’t know your loving.
Well those are fine pretty words,
But they don’t mean nothing.
And all I asked is for something true,
But all you gave is doubt.
Hold my breath and wear my shoes,
Don’t forget your god’s gonna see right through.
So better speak the truth.
Have you ever seen the lights
Fall from the heavens?
You shoulda said, Emma,
You’d be leaving instead.
Kiss your cross and call it good,
Did you see the lights?
Keep my soul and drain my blood,
When you’re old, well, the light’s gonna show you God.

Holy Signs
03:15
|
|||
|
I know you saw no holy sign
To go wander the woods,
Oh how you lie.
All this time.
You said this hymnal’s got no soul,
But fire consumes all your thoughts.
So what you singing for?
You’ve found there ain’t no point to resist,
This is my chest open wide.
Oh sweet lie.
So call all those lonely ghosts
Haunting those simple notes
Quiet and hungry and waiting for your fall.
See God on bended knee,
Holy, don’t you ever leave
With your sweet talking tongues.
Oh then she’s gone.
