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 04:45
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

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 04:24
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
