’ve been around these fields and fires
I’ve been scorned by love’s desires
These old wheels take me across town
This is just a starting back
All the years spent watching clocks sets
Got me wondering, spinning around.
All I want is to keep on watching
These scenes and easy miles as they’re calling
And you in the front seat
The sound of falling
As the world goes by
These windows I just want to keep watching
We headed off to inri
We Watched stellers on the balcony
From our fenced in little backyard
You said that times were getting though
And I said yes they are my love
But you can rest now I’ll keep guard
All I want is to keep on watching
These scenes and easy miles as they’re calling
And you in the front seat
The sound of falling
As the world goes by
These windows I just want to keep watching
Yeah, oh woo oh hey yeahh
In my shirt pocket I carry these dreams and
There is a certain twilight seems
But sometimes I get lost with all the other things
There’s a light post across the street that
Gives off thin light blue-ish green
And I wonder; have we heard the reckoning?
The reckoning….
All I want is to keep on watching
These scenes and easy miles as they’re calling
And you in the front seat
The sound of falling
As the world goes by
These windows I just want to keep watching
All I want is to keep on watching
These scenes and easy miles as they’re calling
And you in the front seat
The sound of falling
As the world goes by
These windows I... oh yeah-y yeah
In the desert, outside Norfolk,
We went flying down that highway.
I tried to memorize the way that you looked;
You were clutching a tall boy.
Cold gin was sweating clear through that worn-out paper sack
I got to thinking that maybe once you get this way you can never go back
And the sky above us is impossibly black,
As we lie down on the desert on our back.
What’s that you’d say about those stars as you wake me from my dreaming?
It’s like a million holes in heaven…
Through the speakers in that old truck
AM radio is playing,
We sing along with the windows rolled down
Until the singing turns to swaying.
The thunder storm comes rolling in,
Reminding you of everyone you’ve ever loved -
That exploding silver lining.
And the sky above is impossibly cracked,
As we stand out on the front porch watching the bolts cut the black.
What’s that you’d say to me love, as we’d start out at that lighting?
There are a million holes in heaven…
As I stare out at the city the streetlights stole the stars,
The crickets in the wind were taken by the sound of cars,
As I lie in my apartment and I wonder where you are…
There are a million holes in my heart.
You will drink the moonshine and I will drown in the sunshine
You will drink the moonshine and I’ll drown in the sunshine
You’ll be drinking moonshine and I’ll be drowning in the sunshine
You will drink the moonshine and I will drown in the sunshine
You’ll be drinking moonshine and I’ll be drowning in the sunshine
And I just hope you’ll think of me sometimes,
I hope you’ll think of me sometimes.
All the girls dressed like candy
Looking oh so full in love with all the world
And the boys with their messed-up hair
And secrets that they keep behind their eyes
My face is always pressed against the glass
You were the only one who ever asked
Why don't you come inside
We watched the hotel lights
And I was mesmerized
Voices flow through the walls
And from the streets of New York City down below
To our surprise, we find the world
Is just as small inside the higher that they climb
Well I guess we're just the same
To ?
? One more time
We hope for brighter days
Just one more war away
Another step behind
You once told me that when the night
Is frozen wait for the golden sun
That's the one thing you believe in
Well, then I guess we're even, love
It's coming off
What once were dreams
Are now just souvenirs of the people that we used to be
Like these Chelsea nights
I had so many things to tell you, love
But you were drunk with wine
You know, I've loved you from the very start
And if you should ever break my foolish heart
Don't waste your sad regrets
Don't break your tenderness
The hotel lights were ours
No matter what comes next
Orange moon lies low
Up against a western sky
Soon we’ll see all our troubles disappear
Underneath it’s watchful eye
Meet me darkwiler. Tonight.
We’ll watch the waves roll in and the planes roll on by
We’ll build a bonfire and laugh at all life’s crazy twists and turns.
Bonfire; and as the flames flicker burn out bright
We’re fireflies tonight.
Someone bring an old guitar. I’ve got some friend who likes to play
And I’m gunna wear a fuzzy cap that says ‘L.A.’
We glow in flashes all the day around
But you should see us when the sun goes down
We build a bonfire and laugh at all life’s crazy twists and turns.
Bonfire; and as the flames flicker burn out bright
We’re fireflies tonight. Yeah hey-yeah..
Meet me darkwiler tonight
We’ll watch the waves roll in and the planes -
They go so low on their way to the sky
Bonfire, yeah laugh at all life’s crazy twists and turns.
Bonfire; and as the flames flicker burn out bright
Well I was born, underneath the shadow of a big red bridge
I grew up on the graves of the oranges, in a trembling town.
Then I headed south, all the worlds an oyster when your 17,
And you’re trying to get a piece of that American dream, it can wear you down
Chorus
Someday I’ll head off to New York City, visit Graceland and Memphis Tennessee
From the west coast, to the shores of Carolina, on a silver superliner, silver superliner.
Time rushes by, everybody’s flying on a big jet plane,
Everybody’s getting somewhere right away, and ahead of time
And I’m way behind, I guess it doesn’t matter where I’m going these days.
And if it takes me 40 nights yeah and 40 days, well I guess that’s just fine.
Someday I’ll head out to New York City, visit Graceland and Memphis Tennessee
From the west coast to the shores of Carolina, on a silver super liner, silver superliner.
They say every cloud has its silver lining, way down here well the sun’s always shining.
You never know what you might wind up finding, all aboard, yeah this train’s leavin…
Ah Oooo, Ah Oooo
Someday I’ll head off to New York City, visit Graceland and Memphis Tennessee
Surf rider, hair on fire
We were gonna save the world
Night black, soundtrack
We kept time by a clock of birds
Flocks sail, plans fail
Kiss and you're on your way
Hand in the sky, wave goodbye
You get smaller
Then you fade away
I will shed my summer skin
Never come back this way again
Tripped wire, hill on fire
Who's gonna save the world
Night quakes, trembling days
We kept time by the songs we heard
Well I laid back and I lost track
Sleeping on the waves till dawn
Done is done, gone is gone
Pick up your feet and you carry on
I will shed my summer skin
Never come back this way again
Dark rider, hearts on fire
No one's gonna save me now
Waves crash, sun splash
All the flocks are headed south
I will shed my summer skin
Never come back this way
I will shed my summer skin
Never come back this way again
Again
