An empty hook, a broken line
The letter you’ve written just one more time
The, please, please, please… won’t you be mine
The end of youth

The dark and lonely heart of this
The I will have no more part in this
The one last glance and a stolen kiss
The end of truth

No need to match the scale grain for grain
Joy for joy or pain for pain
What’s yours or mine, it’s all the same
Tomorrow is here

The one last wish, already spent
The bow and rod, already bent
The final noticed, sealed and sent
And hope beneath

Unspoken words that time will steal
the warmth of a hand you do not feel
The card you’re dealt and can’t reveal
The end of proof

It’s the end of the line, the end of the road
The end of to have, the end of to hold
The end of escape, the end of unknown
Tomorrow is here

The heart’s come down from the pedestal
The lights have come back on again
The floors are swept, the crowd has left
Silence creeping in

Endlessly, needlessly, recklessly yearning
For just one more chance, for the world to keep turning
For the favor of fortune, for the light to keep burning
One more time

Another stretch and another mile
Another chance to see you smile
I know it’s been a little while
But there it is again

It’s a pitiable life
But I wanna to tell my story
I was drawn to a lie
I was looking for glory

Trading futures of my own
Passing light through flesh and bone
I can’t return to who I am
The invisible man

I wanted you to know me
And I could know you too
The things you would show me
Things you’d see right through

Now I wonder if it matters
Light passes through and scatters
It can’t reveal what I am
The invisible man

You.. you can’t you see me
You can’t know who I am
When you can’t believe in me
You can’t see the invisible man

We’re passing the streetlights
I’m looking for your shadows
My heart burns like wildfire
Running through the meadows

Can’t you see the fire around me
When I let the love surround me
Giving form to my skin

It’s a shiver light,
That catches you dreaming
I’m here by your side
Listen to you breathing

I say listen to me
Because your eyes cannot see
Listen to me
And believe

But you, you can’t you see me
You can’t know who I am
When you can’t believe in me
You can’t see the invisible man

Can’t you see the fire around me?
I let the flame surround me
Would you see me then?

I see you have been waiting here
For a long long time
Looking towards the past
Hoping, it’s the future that you’ll find
Saying you that you missed
The innocence you’ve known
It’s like wishing there are things
That you hadn’t been shown

You say you’ve been getting bored
You need something to do
I say, I know what you mean
I feel that way too
And then you say that I missed the point
I’m not sure that that’s true
Because you are me
And I am you

So, don’t leave me crying
My heart
Running out of my hands
For love
That should mine
For love
That should be mine

I know that I’ll…
I’ll be home soon
I can feel it in my bones
In the pull of the moon
And we became strangers
So carelessly
I was looking for you
And I lost sight of me

So, don’t leave me crying
My heart
Running out of my hands
For a love
That should mine
For love
That should be mine

I know I said,
I would be right home
And you are waiting for me there
You’re all alone…

Twilight creeping

I’m standing here
And thinking about the plan
Right now
I still know just who I am

Twilight's creeping

I still see
Exactly where I’ve been
Which doors to lock
And which to leave open

But twilight’s creeping

The air is still
A rustle in the leaves
The tilt before the fall
And then the wings

Twilight creeping

I know that I said that
I was coming home
And you’re waiting for me there
You’re on your own

I know who I am
I’m brittle and honest
Before we began
I made a promise

To do what I can
To know what you’re facing
Filling holes left behind
With space I’m erasing

To read between lines
With light that is fading
The meaning behind
the games that we’re playing

To show what I can
And not care what your taking
The roots buried deep,
Leaves bent and shaking

One breath cues the line
The rest is for sorting
The truths from the lies
And the pain they’re escorting

The rhythm belies
What waits behind the curtain
But if you look in my eyes
You’ll know for certain

The problem with past
And those who adore you
Is the ‘it’ never lasts
And wilts (fades) right before you

I’m sure you know the rest
Come on, let’s be honest
It’s always been a test
the answer’s (truth is) upon us

Your the only one I know
Who won’t leave the light on
So if opposites attract
I found the right one

One light
Coming down
Warm tears
No sound

River rocks
Rolling tones
Said again
But never known

Shadows cast
Feathers flown
Sparking flame
Stars have shone

Waters run
Leaves roam
Promises
Coming home

Light rain
Shallow steam
Night train
Babbling stream

Pretty hands
Warming wood
Swaying branch
Where we stood

Open book
Turning page
Shifting wind
Changing age

Silent dream
Aching door
Winding path
Then no more

Laying down the back seat
Watching the trees pass by
Spanish moss on the power lines
Saltwater in my eyes

Clothes still wet and clinging
Billowing in the wind
Shark’s tooth in my pocket
The smell of oil upon your skin

I’ve been waiting for so long
For someone like you
Someone like you

Live oaks, speaking gently
Of love and power and sin
A Life before you
Soon it will begin

Old man by the side of the road
Watching the cars go by
White smoke from the edge of the wood
Vultures comb the sky

I’ve been waiting for so long
For someone like you


Black-tips cruise the shoreline
A spring hail beats the sea
The marsh tide pulled between us
And you were there with me

Look how pretty the sun has gone
A pink moon over the trees
With sea grass to fall upon
And you were there with me

I’ve been waiting for so long
For someone like you

She said that she hid it
On a very high shelf
When the house was quiet
And she was by herself

That’s where she put it
And there it remains
Don’t ask her why
Her mind won’t change

The moon was hidden
There was a soft smell of rain
A stone was lifted
and a stone remained

You asked what she wanted
She’d asked you the same
Quiet as an owl
Swooping down on it’s prey

The thread passed through
It was white as a bone
The leaves were singing, and
The sky unrolled

The roots pull up
What the soil pushes down
The trees were swaying
And you heard no sound

Looking through the window
Listening to the dark
The wind held its breath
And the clouds pulled apart

No secrets in her pockets
No more ice in her glass
As the storm road through
She was free at last

I can’t see the truth anymore
Looking at my memories
I have to look to the side
To catch them looking at me

I know what I said
I watched it sink like a stone
Beneath the shimmer and the shine
Of the word’s undertone

Dispensing of time
Running on fumes
Retracing the lines of
Cold, cold youth

I keep sliding in a hole
And I am tired of climbing out
It’s comfortable here
I know what it’s all about

When I reach the light
I find the things that I missed
And it’s joy that I feel, that
I’m not living like this

Dispensing of time
Running on fumes
Ignoring the signs of
Cold, cold youth

You know, I might have done different
If I’d known from the start
That everything I was building
I’d be taking apart

Every nail, every stitch,
Every breath and every thought
Would retreat like a wave
Breaking off of a rock

I’m not dispensing of time, just
Running on fumes
Ignoring the crimes of
Cold, cold youth

The dark wolfish slant
Time howling past stone
The weight of the stars
And the love I have known

The wind rips around
The things we desire
Inaudible sounds in the flames of
Careless fires

I’m not weighted down
Not filled with regret, when
I get out of this hole
I’d be right back, where I left

I’ve been going through changes
And I don’t know what I’ve done
Life pulls and rearranges
All that I’ve been counting on

But it’s alright
It’s alright

I’ve been going through changes
What was right once, now is wrong
Things straightened, some in tangles
Where’s the truth I relied upon

But it’s alright
It’s alright

I’ve been going through changes
It’s the way its always been
new feelings, and exchanges
Passing moments, distant friends

And it’s alright
It’s alright

I’ve been going through changes
But I don’t worry anymore
I’ll just keep on turning pages
What’s the next one have in store

It’s alright
I’m alright

Sometimes your up
Sometimes your down
Your feet in the air
Your head on the ground

Some folks are rich
Some folks are poor
Some people don’t
Give a damn anymore

Some say it’s big
Some say it’s small
Some say it didn’t
Happen at all

Went to the mount
Climbed to the top
Slipped off the edge
And I didn’t stop


Maybe you haven’t been
What you want to be
Haven’t seen the things
That you hoped to see
Haven’t felt the thing
That they call free
Let it go, let it go

Standing on the shoulders of history
Chasing all the stories of your destiny
Wondering why it always ends in mystery
But you make yourself
You’re what you ought to be

Sometimes when your words surround me
And your meaning hasn’t found me
I look for the cracks, in the air
And I long, for the silence there
Alone

I get lost easily, in the noise
Even in, my own voice
I’m distracted by, the shiny things
I wait for peace, that silence brings
Alone

I fall back back, a few steps behind you
The only way that I can find you
Tracing the path that led to this song
Not to be without you, but to be
Alone

Watching the light play in your hair
Finally seeing the shadows there
Beside you I just couldn’t see
But together, I know we can be
Alone

Not lonely
Not lonely
Not lonely
Not lonely
But alone

If you want me, Call me.
After a while of waiting around…

A summer breeze, and
I’m trying to find my way back home
I’m not lost, but
I’m feeling so alone

The evening lights
On a sidewalk that’s all mine
With a memory
That’s not treating me kind
Can I leave this one behind

I’m caught in the tangle
Of wondering how
I keep forgetting
That the only time I have, is now.

You lose your hope,
All you’re left is fear
And you can’t see
The things that you have here
The ones that you hold dear
Spent too much time
Looking, for pieces of my soul.
Only to find
That I was always whole

The love I have
I’ve made on my own
Happiness inside,
Lives down in the bone
There’s no need to atone

I close my eyes
And breathe again
Looking through the noise
I can see, who I really am

Distant voices
My, feet moving again
The changing weight
Of worry becoming thin
I’m ready to begin
