Pacific Hymn
05:05
|
|||
Youth, like light, it’s not real, it reflects your age
Like sound, like waves
Time, like age, is not fair; it destroys your light
Like smoke
Like night
And here in time my age has fit me well
Skin on skin, like waves coming in, coming in
And drifting out again
Waves spreading light are not real
They reflect your time like sound, like age
Here, with time my age has fit me well

Concerning a Duel
03:22
|
|||
I went down firing
It was the noblest thing I’ve ever done
My best friend killed me with one perfect bullet
I saw the sky living as I died
There are two kinds of people
There are two ways to be
You can go down firing or you can remain with your life
I chose mine, I chose my friend, living as I died

For Lydia
02:22
|

See I have kept the greatest sadness to myself
I have kept a record of unfortunate despair
And Lydia, for whom I have the greatest affection
Is in another country far away from my attention
Well I suppose I have arrived at something more than I expected
I believe I am much better off with what I have
I would hope the same is true for Lydia though I cannot say for sure
Perhaps she’s lying wide awake and wishing she had something more
There are a few things time and distance cannot alter
There are a few things I would say now if I had the chance
There is a space I fear is occupied by Lydia
And frozen as it is in time I cannot justify it being there
So all the time I spect committing this to memory
Was time apart from living outside in the bitterness
And Lydia, who knows no greater advocate than innocence
Is far away from my protection or deliverance

Estrella y la Luna

The greatest invention the Devil unleashed upon us is failure
Then we watched our favorite friends try and try and try
And we assumed our value was in what we had created
But our only value was in what we were
And we rose with the sun
And we went down with the same
The smallest love the Devil had for his invention
Was greater than our attempt to beat it
But we tried and we tried and we tried
And everyone I know is safe from harm
But so involved in failure not knowing where their value lies
Everyone I know has so much value
And go down with the sun
And we rise up with the same

You used to be so courageous
Now you’re only brave
I was jealous of the heat from your perfect flame
I watched it burn, it just grew higher
It just got louder
I watched you burn
You just got stronger
You got brighter
I watched the sun break on your perfect yellow beacon
You disappeared into the details of your life
And I watched it burn so bright

Our Separate Ways
03:45
|
|||
Most men don’t mind if taken for a ride
It’s not usually worse than wounded pride
But I didn’t like it when you lied
You shouldn’t take advantage of me
Just say if you’ll end it today
Or string it out for another year
Should we go our separate ways
Or hold each other here?
I’m not thinking of excuses to go
I’ve got all day and I think you should know
That I’d appreciate it if you would show
Kindness to me if you’re going to go
Just say if you’ll end it today
Or string it out for another year
Should we go our separate ways
Or hold each other here?

Oh Valentine

Oh Valentine, you made me smile
And gave me life for a minute more
Oh demon, time, don't take it
Let me live it forever more
I have brought you books and wine
I have brought you a lemon tree
You have said you’ll be my wife
And hold me dear most constantly
You have wounds upon your hands
They are scars upon your eyes
I have time enough to breathe the smoke in
Watch it curling through the sky
Oh separation, like a mirror
Holds you in my constant view
Just beyond the light reflected
There is a blackness passing through
Oh Valentine, you made me smile
And gave me life for a minute more
Oh demon, time, don't take it, spare it
Let me live it forever more
