I'll Behave

It's been a while since the river flowed so deep and wide
On this side of town
It don't rain here much, the plants and people seem so dry but
Ever since you came around,
My flowers have grown and a rainbow shines
In my room, through your hair, in your eyes
Whatever it takes to make you stay, I'll behave
Silly things will clip the wings of lovers new to flight, and let them fall away
But thanks to you I see the tops of trees and whole cities, long as you got me
You fly by side and you show me how
To get your lovin' where you want it and now
Whatever it takes to make you stay
I'll behave

Cherry on my tongue
Sweet as the sunshine on my arms
Come to me in pieces, fall apart
Let me rearrange you in the dark
You can count on me for them sweet dreams
It's been a long day
But you come knock and I’ll answer
Hang your hat on me and kick back
We got a way to go, where would I go
If you weren't up those stairs
You keep my anxious feet from lifting,
Flying through the air
Kisses meet my skin just like the sun
Cherry on my tongue

Here, here is your morning tune
And you, you wake up to the truest blue
Shake the sleep off
Wish the creatures good day
Pour coffee, watch stars slip away
Today, summer glistening green
Hear the windsong carry the dew drop tears
Cool crystalline clear
Here, here is your working tune
And you, you have a world to bring anew
Groom the grasses
Feed the gardens and grain
Plant a new dream and leave room for the rain
Deep veins playing down in the soil
Brush the dust off, and with the toils done
Trees swallow the sun
Here, here is your sunset tune
And you, circling the hearth below the moon
Dance for new days, dance for beautiful life
Shut the lights out, wish your true blue goodnight

Story of Our Lives
03:47

Have you heard the whispers on the wind
The weather's getting warmer and stars are sending postcards in the dark
Do you still feel it in your heart?
Let's steal away today
Pack up our words and save the
Spaces for our hideaway
High time to find a new home
Cuz no one wants to feel alone
We walk backwards
Til the sun she sinks and
Bridges we've burned
Keep us warm all through the night
You talk slowly
As though I'm in a dream
And we chase morning
To the end of all time
And that's the story of our lives
Traces of the moonlight in your eyes
Shimmer like the road below the wheels beneath this car under the the stars
I still feel it in my heart
Roll down the windows and
Let in the cold and hold this moment
In your loving hands
Does it feel like your own?
Or do you want to let it go?

The Sea

I remember when our kingdom walls held strong
Higher than life itself and alive for the love we strung along
But like any love walls stretched too thin to hold, ours came crumbling down to the sea
When I let your trust hands go
I watched your ship set sail and fly
I can't find the words to say I've failed, my friend
But you say this is the end
Cleopatra, Cleopatra
I walked down the shores of every memory
I watched as the sun dropped and fell to my knees, let the waters cover me
I placed in the bloody sand three daggers deep
One for a stranger, one for my love
And one more for the sea
I watched your ship set sail and fly
I can't find the words to say I've failed, my friend
But I know this is the end
Cleopatra, Cleopatra
You and I were a thousand dying stars turned to dust by time
We both know this is the end
Cleopatra, Cleopatra

Secret Lullaby

In the end
A glass of tears can always be your friend
But in the end
When I arrive I long to see your face again
The sky is hanging kind of low
I brave the wind alone but I am happy
The sun will soon be out of reach
I sing this tune and hope that you will find me
It's my secret lullaby, it's just a secret lullaby
I hope it keeps you through the night
I hope it makes you warm and holds you tight
In between
A shiver of indifference reaches me
But in between
Yours is such a lovely face to see
It's bittersweet to watch you go
Like summer rain you will return I know
The sun and moon are trading shoes
I sing this tune and hope that it will find you
It's my secret lullaby, it's just a secret lullaby
I hope it keeps you through the night
I hope it makes you warm and holds you tight
At the start
I heard you singing softly from afar
And at the start
You rocked me through the last hours of the dark
I never want to let you go
I never want to brave the wind alone
The sun will never leave our reach
I sing this tune so happy you have found me

Beautiful Sun

Gold dripping from rhododendron leaves
Covers the ground, scatters round, tiny seeds
Deep beneath, blossoming slow, this gold
Pushing up through the sidewalk, sings
Smooth shimmering trees soon fill the streets
Climbing around city lights and buildings
Standing tall, figures of all strange shapes, dance in the golden meadow sway
One beautiful sun and one sweet moon
Blessing the little things we do
Beautiful light of a shade so divine come and smile on me
Beautiful sun
Gold covers the rivers winding through
Every room, crystal blue through the roof
We live here, subject to change, and wait,
Hope for the splendor of the day

Before my feet hang off the bed
And dreams still fill my messy head
Sing a song and bring me the light
Walking in between the trees
And flying over everything
Sing, to the river
Growing tall
Makes me feel warmer
Growing tall
The sun is growing closer
Reflected in our shining pool
The mountain kinda looks like you
The season of rain is behind us
Roots are soaking up the tears
I've left to wander all these years
Learn from my troubles
Growing tall
Makes me feel warmer
After all
The sun is ever closer
