Always hanging on my mind?

Kith & Kin

Alone.
Me and my companion walk together.
Hand in hand,
like kith & kin through thick and thin.
we steal away together.
Awake.
I lie alone and I wait for your return.
Heart in hand,
like frost in fall for winter warmth.
I’d wait alone forever.
No. It doesn’t stand to reason.
Missing you is bringing me down.
No. It doesn’t stand to reason.
Missing you is bringing me down.
No. It doesn’t stand to reason.
Missing you is bringing me down.
No. It doesn’t stand to reason.
Missing you is bringing me down.

Deep Run River

I am the agreement,
and I am the pact.
And I am greeted by dissolve.
Agree with you until my time,
to melt back into the bosom of your world.
Deep dive by the Deep Run River, wide.
Wide-eyed and alive.
I’d agree until my time.
Agreements do turn sour.
And I remain as a fact.
And I am greeted with resolve.
Agree with you until my time,
to melt back into the bosom of your world
To be reimagined; to be redefined,
as the downward plunge of a diver.
To be reinvested; to be reintroduced,
as the outward gaze of a dancer.
Deep dive by the Deep Run River, wide.
Wide-eyed and alive.
I’d agree until my time.
Agreements do turn sour.
And I remain as a fact.
And I am greeted with resolve.
Agree with you until my ti-ee-eem.
to melt back into the bosom of your world
To be reimagined; to be redefined,
as the downward plunge of a diver.
To be reinvested; to be reintroduced,
as the outward gaze of a dancer.
(ooo)
Deep dive by the Deep Run River, wide.
Wide-eyed and alive.
I’d agree until my time.

He held her eyes, reflecting light
from southern skies.
If only he could find among that southern light
the cause to be right.
Who will discover the lost and broken lover?
Don’t pass him by, for the light in his eyes,
believe that he can smile.
She hid her smile, shielding her eyes
from southern skies.
If only she would try to look through the light
that shines from his eyes
Who will discover the lost and broken lover?
Don’t pass her by, ‘cause the light in her eyes,
Try to see her side.
(ahh)
Who will discover the lost and broken lover?

Don’t pass him by, for the light in his eyes

All over now, it’s the end.
Didn’t really mean to begin
I’m gonna make pretend,
make believe you’re mine again.
Deep enough to dive to arrive with the pearl,
she’s a renaissance girl.
All around the world,
she’s a renaissance girl
Honest I could never again
make believe it was pretend.
I’m gonna start at the end
and try to make it start again
(ooo)
Deep enough to dive to arrive with the pearl,
she’s a renaissance girl.
All around the world,
she’s a renaissance girl
I’m gonna save some face
to try to make her take your place.
Dress you up in linen and lace
to make believe it wasn’t a waste
I’m a jack-knife Swiss army man,
fold me up in the palm of your hand.
Use me any way you like,
multi-tool as sharp as a knife.
Deep enough to dive to arrive with the pearl,
she’s a renaissance girl.
All around the world,
she’s a renaissance girl
Deep enough to dive to arrive with the pearl,
she’s a renaissance girl.
All around the world,
she’s a renaissance girl

Roll Over Me
03:57

Please! allow me to revisit your decision
specifically regarding your decision
for our division.
And furthermore, how it differs from what I’d envisioned.
I’m wishing I hadn’t given into intuition.
Please! allow me to substantiate my position
specifically regarding my condition
since our division.
And furthermore, my collection of inhibitions.
But isn’t it a pity all the nitty-gritty isn’t efficient?
And there never was enough sugar in your coffee
She’s never satisfied any more.
There couldn’t’ve been enough moments in the minute
you mulled over your decision
to roll over me.
Roll over me. Roll over me.
yeah.

Maybe Baby
04:36

It’s just like me to wait too long.
Just like me to question every question.
to let it ruminate, let it germinate,
but now I’m running late
I come back a mile behind.
And I can’t remember what the real question was
It’s running through my mind, running through my mind
running through my mind.
But why can’t I stay where my heart is?
Whoa, maybe baby:
Maybe if I stuck to my guns, I’d be better
a better man than I am to lend a hand.
Maybe if I stuck to my guns, I’d be stronger
A stronger man for my girl.
I see you’re face, you wait for me.
I see you tap your foot with a question.
But let it ruminate, let it germinate,
‘cause now I’m running late
I come back a mile behind.
And I can’t remember your face anymore.
It’s running through my mind, running through my mind
running through my mind.
But why can’t I stay where my heart is?
Whoa, maybe baby:
Maybe if I stuck to my guns, I’d be better
a better man than I am to lend a hand.
Maybe if I stuck to my guns, I’d be stronger
A stronger man for my girl.
And I can’t remember what the real question was
It’s running through my mind, running through my mind
running through my mind.
And why can’t I stay where my heart is?

Let Yourself Out
04:18

Goodbye paradise, goodnight,
it serves you right, goodnight, alright, goodbye.
A message for you came through
to the tune
of a man who was blue for you.
Now I have the choice to be the voice
of a changing tune
or that of someone faithful to me.
Goodbye paradise, goodnight,
it serves you right, goodnight, alright, goodbye
Maybe its all in a dream
when i come home
smell like you’re not alone, lady,
but lately i’m stuck in my head
on who’s with you.
Leave me the key
let yourself out the front door,
lady.
Goodbye, all that I have tried
it serves me right, goodnight, alright, goodbye
Goodbye, all that I have tried
it serves me right, goodnight, alright, goodbye
Maybe its all in a dream,
when you come home
smell like I’m not alone, lady,
but lately i’m stuck in my head
on who’s with you.
Leave me the key
let yourself out the front door,
lady.
Leave me the key
let yourself out the front door,
lady.
Leave me the key
let yourself out the front door,

Beyond Horizon
02:58

Beyond horizon,
a man’s head and the sky, were he a hundred feet high,
still never the two shall meet, no, never the two shall meet
again.
Could’ve been born into this life
me as a husband you my wife
filling rolls instead of each other’s hearts.
And fate would join us to the end
as more than lovers, more than friends.
Then I’d always have you by my side.
Beyond horizon,
a man’s head and the sky, were he a hundred feet high,
still never the two shall meet, no, never the two shall meet
again.
When should I cry, when should I sleep,
what do I say, what should I eat?
To keep the flood from rising up
to swallow me.
But fate would join us to the end
as more than lovers, more than friends.
Then I’d always have you by my side.
Beyond horizon,
a man’s head and the sky, were he a hundred feet high,
still never the two shall meet, no, never the two shall meet
again.
We are rivers.
Running high to the tide, running side by side.
But never the two shall meet, no, never the two shall meet
again
We are rivers, storm swollen.
Running high to the tide, running side by side.
But never the two shall meet, no, never the two shall meet
no, never the two shall meet
no, never the two shall meet
again.
Beyond horizon
Beyond horizon
Beyond horizon
Beyond horizon.

Is It Enough?
04:22
|
|||
|
Walking side by side.
Cast away my eyes.
Keeping one foot in front of the other.
Looking in the mirror,
feeling miles away.
Pulling on my face
and trying charades.
Is it enough for you? Is it enough?
Is it enough for you? Is it enough?
Is it enough for you? Is it enough?
Is it enough for you?
“Operation normalize.”
Offer up my time,
keeping one thing on top of the other, other, other.
Look around the corner.
I can’t escape the eyes.
Following your footsteps.
And cutting all my ties.
Definition “something else,”
I can’t help you discover.
Definition “something else,”
I can’t help you discover.
Is it enough for you? Is it enough?
Is it enough for you? Is it enough?
Is it enough for you? Is it enough?
Is it enough for you?
I gotta know I gotta know
Is it enough for you? Is it enough?
Is it enough for you? Is it enough?
Is it enough for you? Is it enough?
Is it enough for you?
