Calmly, Quietly, Cruelly

As a child, for him I wept
Tossed and turned but never slept
Through the darkness he came to me
And calmly, quietly, cruelly, he set me free
A troubled heart makes a purer soul
I searched for my savior in a blindfold
Tortured and robbed of all I've known
But the darker the night, the brighter the gold
Oh, the hours here I spent
Locked inside divine torment
And just when I thought I could feel no more
Calmly, quietly, cruelly, he opened the door
A troubled heart makes a purer soul
I searched for my savior in a blindfold
Tortured and robbed of all I've known
But the darker the night, the brighter the gold

Settle Down

You make me want to settle down
Away from the pretty boys and punk scene, in this hollow town
With all your trinkets on the windowsill, your love's in place
But still hanging on your wall is her determined face
I've gone my fair, fair share of crazy
But crazy don't come so easy no more
I still feel the train, but it's slower approaching
Though the engineer is blind, my ear's to the floor
You make me want to settle down
Unmuddy all the wheels, in the ditch spinning round
With all your instruments and picture cards, your love's in place
But still hanging on your wall, a slight emotional trace
I've gone my fair, fair share of crazy
But crazy don't come so easy no more
I still feel the train, but it's slower approaching
Though the engineer is blind, my ear's to the floor
You make me want to settle down
Eased by the warmth of your hand sliding up my gown
In the mountains beneath a string band, playing my heart from space
But the nest of your arms, is just one birdie's place

Turn it Loose
03:18
|

All down but nine, everything to lose
It's not the first time that I woke up confused
Can't unwind, I'm breaking my mind, trying to get it past you
Just when you get a grip, you gotta turn it loose
Sometimes it stays longer than it should
Sacrifice the heart to make your head feel good
Both sides the same, there's no one to blame, a battle field truth
Just when you get a grip, you gotta turn it loose
Turn it Loose, let it fall
Embrace the hurt and it will nail you to the wall
Rise above it, the devil's got you bound
It ain't me holding you down
It's a shame to let a good thing go to waste
When nothing has changed but circumstance and faith
It's not unlike the sensitive kind to be misused
Just when you get a grip, you gotta turn it loose
Turn it loose, let it fall
Embrace the hurt and it will nail you to the wall
Rise above it, devil's got you bound
It ain't me holding you down
Turn it loose, let it fall
Embrace the hurt and it will nail you to the wall
Move on ahead, you don't have to stay
But don't confuse turning it loose with running away

Winter

Summer left us as lonely as before she came
A gentle melody, a tougher refrain
One cold and lonely night I knelt down to pray
The lord said "baby never be afraid"
Of falling from the ground
Falling from the ground
The prettiest voices never make a sound
Well, I guess you're tired of thinking, but sleeping won't ease your pain
A merciful melody, a regretful refrain
One cold and lonely night I set out to roam
I found the longest way around was the shortest way home
Falling from the ground
Falling from the ground
The prettiest voices never make a sound
