Saltwater

Love you all the time
Even though
You’re not mine
Love you all the time
Dreaming in the saltwater

Timing’s gone all bad
Broken thing and a broken wing

You couldn’t lose me if you tried
‘Cause I’ll be rolling to your side

Love you all the time
Even though you’re not mine
Love you all the time
Broken thing and a broken wing

You couldn’t lose me if you tried

Tokyo Witch

In a dark wintry Tokyo
In the mahjong parlor he waits
Severed past running through his hands
Glory comes to the one who waits

In the hallways they’re lying there
In the red blossom of the days
In your arms there is nothing left
Who you are is run away

My whole life is a mystery
That I can’t break
Our aims is a Calvary of our mistakes
I would love to heal you
now

In a dark wintry Tokyo
In the mahjong parlors they wait
Severed past weaving through their hands
Glory comes to the ones that wait
In the art of the arm
Red blossom of the days

All I wanted to see is that I am better
All I want to believe is that I am better
Round and round
All I want you to see is that I am better
Round and round

Apple Orchard

You only give me what you don’t want no more
Ask the questions that you don’t know at all

Let’s lie down for a while
You can’t smile
Lay your head in the old
fashion

You know how it is my friend
In the boxes of those picture frames
Hold your insides ‘cause you’re cold at night
Warm your heart love ‘cause you’re by my side

Let’s lie down for a while
You can’t smile
Lay your head in the old fashion

Lay your head in the apple orchard
Take your time you can settle down
Hold your breath ‘cause you’re good at nothing

Master of None

You always go to the parties
To pluck the feathers off all the birds
On your knees
I would not beg you please

I want your picture but not your words
You know they’d want it but there’s no first
On your own
you cannot call it your home

We always rub our hands too much
We know the reasons but such and such
On your own
You will not
Catch your own bone

We run our fingers together
You know it’s easy
The devil’s plan
On your own
you cannot call me your own

Jack of all trades
Master of none
..cry all the time
‘Cause I’m not having fun

You always want to be forgiven
The devil does what you ask of him
On your knees
You cannot
you are not for free

Auburn and Ivory

Once when I saw her there
White light she stood so still
Warming her eyes to the sea
Hardly her way to be free

Auburn and ivory
Heartbreak and ponytails

Holding her bones by the fire
Writing the letters she saves
White page turns gold to her lies
Wanting her one sacrifice

Auburn and ivory
Heartbreak and ponytails

Come to me and I’ll tell you what’s wrong
She said
I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for…

Once when I saw her there
White light she stood so still
White page turns gold to her lies
…her one sacrifice

Auburn and ivory
Heartbreak and ponytails

Childhood

The beginning of the end
Thought the harvest was my friend
The nature of that place
Sends a sweet smell around my head
Oh well

The hardest thing of all
The harboring of our lust
Hiding all the time
We were cast out of everywhere
But enough..

Last time
the last time I remember
The last time I remember
It was gone

How I want you to know
How far west we will go
Hand in hand
Let it low
All our days in the slow

All my toys are dead

Unraveled at the stairs
Opened but who cares
Why…

Lovelier Girl

Long days of wanting you here
Living in fear
Shedding a tear for you

Long nights of pasty-faced moons
Echoing rooms
Filling with gloom for me

Letters so hard to mail
Feeling like the wind from the sea

Now step into the light
Girl, know the fright
In all the world than you
There’s nothing lovelier girl
In all the world
Than making love to you

Letters so hard to mail
Feeling like the wind from the sea
Lately got to thinking that
How I won’t have you here with me

House on the Hill

You’d give anything
Just to reach your door

But I won’t be there

How does it feel like
House on the Hill

You’d give anyone
Just to reach your door

And I won’t be there

Heart and Lungs

From all eyes the land disappears
All that is left
Is a hollow leg of tears

From her smile
The golden tooth is won
Child your only hope has flown

All gone to this House
All I have left is the only place I’ve been

It’s all heart and lungs
It’s not that much fun
It’s hard, hard to run
It’s not that much fun
It’s all heart and lungs
It’s not that much fun
It’s all

Rain in Numbers

…And she’s rolling down the water
But it always rains

I will haunt you the rest of your life

Were you lazy
Always counting numbers down

And she’s rolling down the window
But it always rains

I will haunt you the rest of your life

Spend your money
Acting funny ..

But she’s rolling down the window
But it’s always rain

But it’s always rain
