Daydream

Woke today with tired mind
The recent future's out of time
Seven days or 15 hours
Either way
Now is gone
Spinnin wheels grind to halt
Ridin high and then you fall
Step outside and walk it off
There's always gain after loss
Met a man along a creek
Snow white beard and leather feet
He looked through me
With clear jewel eyes
And I could feel his gaze inside
Without a word he searched my soul
I heard his heart and then he spoke
He said,
Son - don't quit your daydream
You aint wrong to want some inner peace
This wicked world will leave you incomplete
And you ain't wrong - to walk away
Son - don't quit your daydream
You aint wrong to seek some inner peace
This wicked world aint but a beast
And you ain't wrong - to walk away.
Son - don't quit your daydream
You aint wrong to seek your inner peace
This wicked world will ride you like a beast
And then he turned - and walked away.

Your peace is fragile, yes, I know
don’t go to deep don’t rock the boat
don’t you worry it’ll be great
I aint got nuthin important to say
for a change
and everything I’ve come to see
and everything I’m lettin go
and everything I wanna say
and everything I really feel
just gets
pushed down, pushed down, pushed down
shhhh
pushed down, pushed down, pushed down
shhhh
I’ll keep the peace I’ll walk the line
I’ll bite my lip one more time
I’ll count to ten I’ll practice zen
I aint got nuthin important to say
for a change
and everything I’ve come to see
and everything I’m lettin go
and everything I wanna say
and everything I really feel
just gets
pushed down, pushed down, pushed down
shhhh
pushed down, pushed down, pushed down
shhhh
Trunk and tusk in the room
we’ll laugh it off like we do
awkward silence in an easy chair
nervous fingers runnin through your hair
I’ll segue out it’s gettin late
I aint got nuthin important to say
for a change
and everything you fear to see
and everything you can’t let go
and everything you wanna say
and everything you really feel
just gets
pushed down, pushed down, pushed down
shhhh
pushed down, pushed down, pushed down
shhhh
Your peace is fragile, yes, I know

Breathe
04:43
|

Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.
Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.
Home, home again.
I like to be here when I can.
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

In Fields
05:53
|
|||
|
white dress innocence under thunder skies
vulnerable and ruminant
displaced by lies
forgiveness comes so hard in the face of crimes revealed
she walks it off in fields
holding hands
walking slow
singing songs we used to know
before the world
came down
are the memories real
or did they steal
everything you held so dear
before the world came down
He holds his head in his hands
as the veil is pulled from the grand charade
it’s all a stage the world he’s known
he walks it off in fields
holding hands
walking slow
singing songs we used to know
before the world
came crumbling down
are the memories real
or did they steal
everything you held so dear
before your world came down
Vulnerable and Ruminant
have crossed their paths
they sit and talk in fields
remember how things used to be
long before we came to see
and then the world came down
I’ll hold your hand
we’ll walk the miles
will sing new songs and learn to smile
we’ll leave the world behind
everything that we hold dear
has not been lost
it’s all right here
in fields
A fantasy for you and me
just close our eyes and we will be
in fields
