California Moon

What is the morning
If you lay there in the sun
And the soothing of a new thing is long gone
What is the evening
If the sleep is all you’ll get
And every day gets longer at the end
Under a California moon
The room turns blue
My amateur heart is a deep reservoir
That you fell into
Oooh under a California Moon
Who are you fooling
If you’re doing all you can
And still can’t seem to keep up interest?
Who are you losing
By confusing love with this?
You may have missed the one should be with
Under a California moon
The room turns blue
My amateur heart is a long boulevard
And its split in two
Oooh under a California moon
Under a California moon
The room turns blue
My amateur heart is a deep reservoir
That you fell into
Oooh under a California Moon

Porcelain

Porcelain jar, antique white
Glossy finish with a pattern stripe
Finely crafted, smooth and grand
Slow and steady when it’s in your hands
Time goes by and with it style
Dust the lid once in a while
Used to be the centerpiece
Now it’s a casualty of your stumblin’ feet
You knocked it off the tableside
One hundred pieces scattering
It may have only been one time
But nothing is the same again
Porcelain
Place and fit with super glue
Pretend the cracks look good as new
But months will leave and years will go
Those cracks are always going to show
You knocked it off the tableside
One hundred pieces scattering
It may have only been one time
But nothing is the same again
Porcelain
Time stands still for a moment
As we watch it all plunge
We could pick up the pieces
But the damage is done
So I swept it underneath the rug
You knocked it off the tableside
One hundred pieces scattering
It may have only been one time
But nothing is the same again
Porcelain

Lady of the Wood
05:15

A long dirt road
Where does it go
Through leafless trees
I see the chimney smoke
A little cabin made of logs
A woman with woven locks
My fingertips go numb as
Visions of her they come and go
Lady of the wood
Are you real or just a dream?
We kiss away the cold
Then you’re leaving with the breeze
Don’t go, don’t go
I searched the lake
I searched the stream
I lit a fire and she came to me
Her dress is glowing bright
Surrounded by the darkest night
Prepared to part with my heart
But she stole my glass soul
Chorus
And now I’m on my own
Wandering the Everwood
And every thousand years or so
She’ll appear and kiss me good
Now I’m all alone
No colored tones
My casing folds
I’m growing old
I’m cold
She’s endlessly taking her time
She’s endlessly taking my time

County Line
04:43
|
|||
|
Intentions were mentioned
Then came all the tension
But we were never meant to stay
We were never meant to stay
She factioned attraction
Said it was a reaction
To the things I wouldn’t say
And it’s a long October day
Stone wall heart covered in vines
Waitin’ on a stranger at the county line
Oh, I go there every night
Waitin’ on a stranger at the county line
Every road gets dark between the streetlights
We were minors with blinders
Not keepers, just finders
And we were never meant to stay
We were never meant to stay
She captured and fractured
The only thing she was after
And then I turned the other way
And it’s a long October day
Chorus x2
You can blame it on the timing
But no one’s ever late at all
To your friends you can vilify me
But we both know it isn’t so
And I can’t spend another night alone
Chorus
Every road gets dark between the streetlights
My phone’s full of lies
My shirt pocket – tears
But it’s time to let go
Of a wasted year
At the county line
