1.
Cave 05:06
Under the grove of sycamore Untie the knots and take me in Until the king’s men take me home I love you I would have opened up the door If I’d have known you’d been right here Gone through the pouring wind and rain cause I love you Open the cave where gold and silver have laid And bring me down to the ground where my lover is found There’s someone up there Looking out for you all these years
2.
These rifles shoot hearts Their bullets are red A valentines card to the love-dead And in the prologue they’re floating in air Yeah when they expire This square with eight sides is heavy at best A bird with a leaf to the peaceless Bands of olive branches are wired Microphones and cameras and writers
3.
You know I’d rather have a dog Than walk a fish alone But first I’d need a yard You know I’d rather paint it orange Than psychiatric white But first I’d need a wall Sit under florescent light and eat the dish I microwaved for you Can you hear the neighbors favorite song The sound of the construction workers The sound of a dispute on the sidewalk There’s no place I’d rather be than here with you
4.
Love to Last 04:46
And so you want your love to last Then hold on close to what you have For what else is the love you need Than to give more and plant a seed And someday we’ll hurry into the tree eternal We’ll hold up our hands and say forget the hurt forget the pain And so you want to feel secure Then turn the key Open the door And soon you’ll learn that all it took Was one page in an endless book
5.
Cedars 04:48
I feel you in the air when I awake You’re clear as the morning light I hear you speak the words They’re fragrant as the cedars of Lebanon Set me upon a seal And many waters will never quench my love Your as a blazing fire A mighty flame that’s building inside my heart Hold me inside your hand you dove of peace and carry an olive branch Lead me into the land within the bounds of your everlasting love
6.
Root 04:28
Were you taken below Flailing when your own arms are bound Blackened water and rotten fear You can’t see Was it the dark crystal fad There is no hope that can be found Turn your ears to the sky and you’ll hear the king Come back my son
7.
Interlude 01:24
We are the children Pick up the pieces
8.
Motor 04:38
This is a building over a mountain They say it’s moving on top of the world I am a shelter fed by the morning I am a builder just like the one who built me I am a motor Pulsating metal They say I’ll break down I’ve got a secret for them The buckets pouring and colors bending The sun is shining Thick pillows in the sky You are the moment The chime of a box You are the pressure that fills my drying lantern You are the movement Push back the waters One word with your voice and all the saints go marching
9.
Wander 05:27
Let’s take a drive along country road Leave all the maps in the closet Where we’re going stars will guide us were not lost we love to wander Let’s take a walk under moonlight skies Leave all worries in the backyard Where we’re going paths will guide us uerenotlost we love to wander Let’s take a drift out to ocean shores Leave the city and stay for the night Where we’re going winds will guide us We’re not lost we love to wander Where we go we’ll travel lightly Leave our bags and bread behind us
