Santa Cruz

Janie hates all our faces
But wipes her hand of any trace of
A cross that bring you downwards
She's always looked out for you
And mother packs your weekly lunches
And folds your clothes in tight, clean bunches
Wipes her eyes from weeping
at the thought that you'd be leaving
But brother, don't you play the story
Of the boy who had it all but seen nothing
Santa Cruz, where will you go? Now it's time for leaving
The ash was burnt into the carpet,
You lose your mind when you try to force it
You're so up all you'd see
Was that we were underneath
And all the beauty only rendered special
When you burn the skin and board the vessel
When daylight asks you questions
You've only got your silence
But brother, did you hear the story
Of a boy who had it all but seen nothing
Santa Cruz, where will you go? Now it's time for leaving
And outside, you'll find the only road you've ever known
Without street lights now and ghosts take you by the throat
Through the games you played, don't you know?
That I'd be ready
Santa Cruz, where will you go? Now it's time for leaving

Emma

Emma, I would never ask for something I could never have
But I've only heard the stories of love and Gods and wars.
I've seen as much as corner girls, plastic lords and broken chairs
But always lived a rich boy until you made me poor.
And Emma it's been only days but I caught a glimpse of your velvet gaze
I only knew the roughed but now my eyes are soft
So don't make me leave a humbled man, feel the harsh, familiar lands
Under feet and under a sickness.
There's times to fight and there's times to trust
And there's hope to find when there's one hold
Emma, all I'd ever ask was to be at your command
Fold me in your pocket and you can rub away the rest
Cause everything I was to now was only leading to this point
I never had the knowledge but I always had a thirst
There's times to fight and there's times to trust
And there's hope to find when there's one hold

Vancouver Aches
03:53
|
|||
We wished away almost every day
Wishing we would come to life.
But the city struck was wasted on my part
As tomorrows turned to yesterdays.
And it's the hardest thing to solve it
Cause the things I sought have aged in their prime
Vancouver aches with growing pains
And New York's lights, they burn in vain
And Chicago's daze has blown away
And Boston hills are hard to climb
Oh all calls for new land seeking
Were drown out by simple reasons
And not for all the love, love, love.
Still Cities beg in their busy ways
And how the oceans come to life
But their promise steers to closing ears
And water waves to sandy eyes
And all calls for new land seeking
Were drown out by simple reasons
And not for all the love, love, love.
Oooh Love, ooh love
And not for all the love, love, love.
