oh oh oh
last summer's footprints are walkin'
walkin' dove walkin' dove walkin' dove
through last summer's sand
a dove walkin' dove walkin' dove
and where the footprints end
where the footprints end
what happened then
where the footprints end?
was not a wave that swallowed them
no gust of wind that did them so
no, where the footprints end
they must have flown!
yea they must have flown
overtemptin' sea
they must have flown
heavy earth and air
lookin' at rings
the sea above
the sky below
they must have flown
where the footprints end
and when we realize we can't fly
will we say "do you think
we must have danced up into the sky?"
last summer's footprints are walkin'
walkin' dove walkin' dove walkin' dove

There's sap in the trees if you tap 'em
There's blood on the seas if you map 'em
Christian, if you see your poppa
Tell him I love him
He taught me to love in the wild and
Fight in the gym
He taught me the bottle gives birth to the cup
And you won't get hurt if you just
Keep your hands up
And stand tall
Like sycamores
Sycamore got to grow down to grow up
Young girl told the soul like baby's first cup
And when they bend you in two
And say too green for the fire
When all you want to do is be a part of the fire
All you want to do is be the fire part of fire
Like sycamores
There's sap in the trees if you tap 'em
There's blood on the seas if you map 'em
Christian when I see your poppa
I'll tell him you love him
And remember to love in the wild and
Fight in the gym
Remember the bottle gives birth to the cup
And you won't get hurt if you just
Keep your hands up
And stand tall

When you leave, I go into our room
And lay me down on birds of paradise
It's pretty womanly in here!
Roses noting every move
Nothing goes on except what should
A vast legacy of good
And I don't know if I can uphold it on my own
I don't know if I can uphold it on my own
I don't know if I'm to be trusted
In our room
Alone
A man needs a woman or a man
To be a man
A man needs a woman or a man
To be a man
The light is explicit
Between nine and noon
The light shows a life to things thought dead
Like oaken legs and fireworks beneath the bed
Fireworks are wasted in the day
I set 'em off anyway
To pass the time 'til you return
I Can't see a thing 'til you return
Maybe a little smoke 'til you return
With fireworks
More fireworks!
With fireworks
More fireworks!
And you tell me to wait
Just wait, wait
Just wait
A man needs a woman or a man
To be a man
A man needs a woman or a man
To be a man
And when it's good and dark
The sky a wet black
Like earth has turned
You say OK
Now is time, OK
Like earth has turned
Above us explode a golden lion dripping red
A blue bear spitting white
A spider of fire on a web of sparks
A green dragon with spiralled eyes
Fireworks light the way
Fireworks light the way
Fireworks light the way
Fireworks light the way
Before us lie many a night
Before us lie fireworks in boxes
But only in you
Deep in you
Only in you
Deep in you
Is the fire that lights them
A man needs a woman or a man
To be a man
A man needs a woman or a man

When you were blind, you touch things for their shape
have faith in wordless knowledge
well i can tell you about the river
or we could just get in
the body the rain made of our days before we knew
we are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew
and it's hard to explain what i was doing all thinking before you
i guess i was a decent man holdin' on
followin the river from above
like a bird
have faith in wordless knowledge
and the fallen stars they flew too
and i knew they were sewing something
something well made for me and you
we are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew
and it's hard to explain what i was doing all thinking before you
the city was a fist,
i lived on its wrist
and i took myself a good long look around
and the river grew higher and wider deeper and darker as i was closing in
and it led me to you which led me to say
"let's get"
we got in the river and it broked us
made us think of sex between us
in a time in our lives old before we knew
we were swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew
and it's hard to explain what i was doing all thinking before you
and that beautiful thing you said lying in bed
about all the things i could think of at the end of the day
but of all the places my mind could go
it always comes looping back to you
we are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew
so meet me in the ocean and we'll ride the waves from the river to the ocean
we are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew
and it's hard to explain what i was doing all thinking before you

Some people are a sickness on this land
They're killing, they're taking, they're stealing
Whatever they can
Anything, anything, anything that is not bolted down
Your life, your money, your heart, your faith, your bike
Anything that is not bolted down
Learn from the animals, monkeys do
Monkeys do piggish things too
Learn from the vegetables, monkeys do
The way they strive towards the light
A small potato in the blight
Still strives towards the light
I know it's as dark as night
It's as dark as night
It is day though
Some would ask, what are we to do
With a world that crumbles to the touch?
A world that spins and dies where it stands,
Like trying ain't enough?
To family is all you can do
To family is all you can do
Even if it's just us two
To family is all you can do
And strive towards the light
Strive towards the light
It's as dark as night
Strive towards the light
Strive towards the light
I know it's as dark as night

Too many birds in one tree
Too many birds in one tree
And the sky is full of black and screaming leaves
The sky is full of black and screaming
And one more bird
Then one more bird
And one last bird
And another
One last black bird without a place to land
One last black bird without a place to be
Turns around in hopes to find the place it last knew rest
Oh black bird, over black rain burn
This is not where you last knew rest
You fly all night to sleep on stone
The heartless rest that in the morn, we'll be gone
You fly all night to sleep on stone, to return to the tree with too many birds
Too many birds
Too many birds
If...
If you...
If you could...
If you could only...
If you could only stop...
If you could only stop your...
If you could only stop your heart...
If you could only stop your heart beat...
If you could only stop your heart beat for...
If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart...

We do not know how things work
We do not know where you go
In the night
Through the door
Through the door that holds you
Through the door that holds you
Out of the blue
We do not know
The door that holds you
Silent as glue
We stand under it
But we don't understand it
We stand under it
But we don't understand it
The door that holds you
Silent as glue
And stars fall on
Stars fall on

She lay beside me
Like a branch from, a tender willow tree
I was as still
As still as a river could be
When a rococo zephyr (rococo)
Swept over
Her and me (rococo)
She watched the water ripple ripple ripple ripple light
Light watched the water ripple ripple ripple ripple she
I did some kind of dance
Jaunty as a bee
I tried to look my best
A finch in wild mint vest
A fiercer force had wrenched her
From where she used to be
I caught and caressed the length of her
A tender willow branch floatin' on me
Well maybe this was all
Was all that meant to be
Maybe this is all
Is all that meant to be
A rococo zephyr (rococo)
Crept up
And stepped over
Her and me (rococo)
Well I used to be sort of blind
Now I can sort of see
Yeah I used to be sort of blind

I'd like to touch you, but I've forgotten how
And said I didn't need you, but look at me now
Sometime in the summer when we're lying in the breeze
The breeze will kill me, the breeze will kill me
I tried to follow the path that you're on
Something in me is stubborn, I keep going wrong
If you can forgive me now, we'll meet up in another land
When the breeze has killed me, when the breeze has killed me
Sometime in the summer when we're lying in the grass
And the breeze, the breeze
Well my baby cries when he's tired
My puppy howls with the moon
You can never be sure of the people that you know
They don't want to show you their sadness
Yesterday I talked with my father
He said that we could never win
It's so hard to tell where I end and my father begins
So if you see me passing by
Please hold me deep in your heart
And just remember I want to help you, I don't want to hurt you
Just remember I want to help you, I don't want to hurt you
So don't tear it apart
Well my baby cries when he's tired
My puppy howls with the moon

Working through death's pain
Last night I swear I felt your touch
Gentle and warm
The hair stood on my arms
How?
How?
How?
Oh show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
To shake a memory
Show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
To shake a memory
I flipped my forelock, I twitched my withers, I reared and bucked
I could not put my rider aground
All these fine memories are fuckin' me down
I dreamed it was a dream that you were gone
I woke up feeling so ripped by reality
Yeah, love is the king of the beasts
And when it gets hungry it must kill to eat
Yeah, love is the king of the beasts
A lion walking down city streets
I fell back asleep some time later on
And I dreamed the perfect song
It held all the answers, like hands laid on
I woke halfway and scribbled it down
And in the morning what I wrote I read
It was hard to read at first but here's what it said
Eid ma clack shaw
Zupoven del ba
Mertepy ven seinur
Cofally ragdah
Eid ma clack shaw
Zupoven del ba
Mertepy ven seinur
Cofally ragdah
Oh show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
To shake a memory
Show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
To shake a memory
Eid ma clack shaw
Zupoven del ba
Mertepy ven seinur
Cofally ragdah
Oh show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
To shake a memory
Show me the way, show me the way, show me the way

You are a true honeymoon child
Conceived on an island on the sun
Heels dug in the white sand
Loved and adored from day one
Raised in the wild space between two hearts
With Einstein trees towards the light
Running naked, dragging a kite
For your dress on a string
You bring out the soft side in everyone
We gather like ravens on a rusty scythe
Just to watch such a little dove
Just to watch such a little dove
Fly away
Mr. Bones from town
Said he saw you the other day
Said you'd changed, but he wouldn't say how
It can always turn
It can always turn

I looked all around
It was not written down
And so I'll tell you now
I will always love you
My friend
Now I'm not saying we're cut from the same tree
But like two pieces of the gallows
The pillar and the beam
Like two pieces of the gallows
We share a common dream--
To destroy what will harm other men
My friend
I looked all around
It was not written down
So I'll tell you now
I will always love you

She was dancing so hard
She danced herself into a diamond
Dancing all by herself
Dancing all by herself
And not minding
Doing the the thing as she dreamed it
Doing the the thing as she dreamed it
Her skin was sky blue
Her skin was sky blue
Under the lights
Diamond dancer, diamond dancer
She was dancing so hard
She danced herself into a diamond
Dancing all by herself
Dancing all by herself
And not minding
And the one thing on her mind was
The one thing on her mind was:
It's time I gave the world my light
It's time I gave the world my light
Starting tonight

I know, what do you know?
I remember
I see, what do you see?
I remember
And I feel, what do you feel?
I remember
All of those days
Stretched out in line
Vertebrae spools in a spine
And I cry, why do you cry?
'Cause I remember
And I smile, why do you smile?
'Cause I remember
All of those moods
Entangled, entwined
What was once skin becomes rind
And I speak, why do you speak?
'Cause I remember
And I scream, why do you scream?
'Cause I remember
All of those lies
Compounding through time
Cortical clues to the crime
And I fall, when do you fall?
When I remember
And I fly, when do you fly?
When I remember
All of those skies
I'll never find

The wheel has turned one full circle
Time for my meal of wood
To make my home lord
In a stable spoke lord
Inside a turning wheel would be good
To make my home lord
In a stable spoke lord
Inside a turning wheel bound for good
A woodbee tries to find purchase
In a turning spoke
From Memphis to Potomac
Never giving up hope
I'd die in your jails lord
But you'd die by my laws lord
I think you got it worse
No rebel I, lord
I follow the river
When I'm lost
When I'm lost
The wheel has turned one more circle
The payload is now immense
So climb aboard all
Climb aboard
Because the heavier we get
The harder we crush
The wagon rolls like an old millstone
Driving bad deeds six feet deep
To make my home lord
In a stable spoke lord
Inside a turning wheel would be good
To make my home lord
In a stable spoke lord

The leafless tree looked like a brain
The birds within were all the thoughts and desires within me
Hoppin' around from branch to branch
Or snug in their nests listenin' in
An eagle came over the horizon
And shook the branches with its sight
The softer thoughts: starlings, finches, and wrens
The softer thoughts, they all took flight
The eagle looked clear through the brain tree
Empty he thought, save for me
Maybe I'll make this one my home
Consolidate the nests of the tiny
Raise a family of might like me
Then something struck him, wings of bone
Sweet desires and soft thoughts were all gone
The eagle shrieked, "I'm alone"
Well it was time to flee the tree
The eagle snuck up on the wind
One talon at a time
Being sky king of the sky
What did he have to fear
All thoughts are prey to some beast
All thoughts are prey to some beast
All thoughts are prey to some beast
All thoughts are prey to some beast
All thoughts are prey to some beast
All thoughts are prey to some beast
Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me
Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me
Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me
Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me
Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me
Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me
Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me

With the grace of a corpse
In a riptide
I let go
And I slide slide slide
Downriver
With an empty case by my side
An empty case
That's my crime
And I sing (Say Valley Maker)
To keep from cursing
Yes I sing (Say Valley Maker)
To keep from cursing
River Oh
River End
River Oh
River End
River Go
River Bend
Take me through the sweet valley
Where your heart blooms
Take me through the sweet valley
Where your heart is covered in dew
And when the river dries
Will you bury me in wood
Where the river dries
Will you bury me in stone
Well I never really realized
Death is what it meant
To make it on my own
'Cause there is no love
Where there is no obstacle
And there is no love
Where there is no bramble
And there is no love
On the hacked away plateau
And there is no love
In the unerring
And there is no love
On the one true path
Oh I cantered out here
Now I'm galloping back
So bury me in wood
And I will splinter
Bury me in stone
And I will quake
Bury me in water
And I will geyser
Bury me in fire
And I'm gonna phoenix

I started out in search of ordinary things
How much of a tree bends in the wind
I started telling the story without knowing the end
I used to be darker, then I got lighter, then I got dark again
Something to be seen was passing over and over me
Well it seemed like the routine case at first
With the death of the shadow came a lightness of verse
But the darkest of nights, in truth, still dazzles
And I woke myself until I'm frazzled
I ended up in search of ordinary things
Like how can a wave possibly be?
I started running, and the concrete turned to sand
I started running, and things didn't pan out as planned
In case things go poorly and I not return
Remember the good things I've done
In case things go poorly and I not return
Remember the good things I've done

It's time to put God away
It's time to put God away
It's time to put God away
It's time to put God away
Damnin' the children
Makin' the ill just a little more sick
It's time to put God away
It's time to put God away
It's time to put God away, I put God away
It's time to put God away, I put God away
This is the end of faith, no more must I strive
To find my peace, to find my peace in a lie
This is the end of faith, no more must I strive
To find my peace, to find my peace in a lie
It's time to put God away
It's time to put God away, I put God away
It's time to put God away
It's time to put God away, I put God away
For a void without a question is just perverse
A void without a question is just perverse
Like tear gas misters at my grave
It's time to put God away
It's time to put God away
It's time to put God away, I put God away
It's time to put God away, I put God away
For a void without a question is just perverse
This is the end of faith, no more must I strive
To find my peace, to find my peace in a lie
This is the end of faith, no more must I strive
To find my peace, to find my peace in a lie
It's time to put God away
It's time to put God away, I put God away
It's time to put God away
