Familiar Peace
02:29
|

... and are you really here
or set on sailing swiftly
away from streets where you had
sought to grow up quickly?
the sun is setting faster
north of where we stand,
and where we'll stay;
don't let me carry you away.
the brightest morning isn't
shining like it did,
peaking through curtains when your
lover touched your skin.
the bravest thing we did was
cry ourselves to sleep,
and separately.
(in time) we'll find familiar peace...

A Lonely Streetlamp
04:51
|
|||
waitin' out in the leaves
my friends, they tried, but as for me
every step that they took
i took one leap back
a freight train passed in the night
foghorn soundin' like fourth of july
a firework
that ended with a crack
a car stopped at Forest (st.) and Park (st.)
we were standing alone in the dark
and a halo rested
atop her long brown hair
the street-lamp was a-light
when the daylight of dawn had died
we were alone
i kissed your halo there
(slide guitar kickassery)
once the halo had gone
the shoulders i stood upon
were lying on
the ground so cold and wet
the rain had kissed the ground
some time ago, my friends had found
and they shook off all the cold
and started yet
they made fun of all my words
and i remembered hers
"darling, hold onto your tongue
ill be home soon"
so we laughed in the night
as the freight train left our sight
FAMILIAR PEACE, it seemed
had left that afternoon
...
my body loves to ache
for our pleasant "good ol' days"
but it's all illusion
made to make us hurt
at least we won't go off to war
and if we did, what would we for?
you know love will last
beyond the dirt!
