Riverbed Blues

A woman wandered down by the river,
searching for the meaning of her lost cause.
But overturning stones
uncovered nothing but the bones
of the girl she used to know.
A man wandered down by the river
searching for a place where he could sit and think.
But when he found a spot
where he could finally sit and stop
he sat upon that ancient rock.
Singing oh,
oh,
the water washed away
all the thoughts from yesterday
and I am finally forgot.
The man wandered up on the shore
and came across the beautiful girl
beating her heart upon a rock
and when he asked her 'What is wrong?'
'It never answers anymore' she said.
Oh, oh,
the water washed away
all the thoughts from yesterday
and I am finally forgot.
But you don't want me anymore
I've been nothing but trouble.
If you can't beat me, win the war,
you're in trouble.
Cause I've been lonely for a while
and I can't stand the sound
of this heart being all alone.
You're in trouble.
Oh down by the river, down by the river side
Oh down by the river, down by the river side
Oh down by the river, down by the river side
But you don't want me anymore
I've been nothing but trouble.
If you can't beat me, win the war,
you're in trouble.
Cause I've been lonely for a while
and I can't stand the sound
of this heart being all alone.
You're in trouble.
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Fire

Have you ever dreamt with open eyes
Maybe that's just how we live
I'm searching through empty skies
Longing's more then wishing here
And I don't know what I'm searching for
maybe just the thought will do
A memory dissolving to nothing
When just before it was something
I try to tell myself it's coming soon
Well I said it doesn't matter
And I said it will get better
But I lied
I'm fighting fire with fire with fire with fire
I said not to worry
And I said there's no hurry
But I'm tired of fighting fire with fire with fire with fire
Have you ever noticed my disguise?
No you haven't got a clue
I'm trying to make the sunrise
Paint a perfect world for you
I don't know what I'm working towards
Am I just a thought to you
A memory reborn into something
When just before it was nothing
I try to tell myself you're coming soon
Well I said it doesn't matter
And I said it will get better
But I lied
I'm fighting fire with fire with fire with fire
I said not to worry
And I said there's no hurry
But I'm tired of fighting fire with fire with fire with fire
And please,
You're tearing me apart
I'm on my knees
Please
But you are just so far
Well I said it doesn't matter
And I said it will get better
But I lied
I'm fighting fire with fire with fire with fire
I said not to worry
And I said there's no hurry
But I'm tired of fighting fire with fire with fire with fire
Well I said it doesn't matter
And I said it will get better
But ooh, tired of fighting fire with fire with fire with fire

In a While

Awake another day
Like a songbird in the spring
Chasing the horizon as it goes
They feel it in their blood
And in their bones
It's time to find a love and find a home
Sweeter than the roses
That cover the ground
It's sweetest to be forgotten
And then to be found
Oh, but it all breaks down
And I won't bother
To tighten my grip and falter
I'll just let it all wash me down
And I know quite well
The longer I wait, I might drown
And I will be lost
But in a while
I'll be found
Your aching feet
Stomp a somber melody
Sinking in the sidewalk as they go
Your hands are empty but, oh
You're full of soul
It's been so long since you've been home
You're searching for something
To bring you back down, oh
You're waiting for something
That's yet to be found
Oh, but it all breaks down
And I won't bother
To tighten my grip and falter
I'll just let it all wash me down
And I know quite well
The longer I wait, I might drown
And I will be lost
But in a while
I'll be found
Oh, but it all breaks down
And I won't bother
To tighten my grip and falter
I'll just let it all wash me down
And I know quite well
The longer I wait, I might drown
And I will be lost
But in a while
I'll be found

Siren Song

He stood on the bow shouting words to himself
He said 'Captain, won't you turn her now?
Can't you hear them chant?'
But he said 'Son, they will make you forget.'
But he followed their siren song
Swimming gratefully to his grave, oh
'What could it hurt?' he said
As the threw himself into their waves
They called him up as he arose
'We're so glad you're here, mighty king of old'
And he said 'Well, I'm just glad to be home'
And he changed their siren song
Calmly listening to their praise, oh
'What could it hurt?' they sang
As the threw his heart into their hands
Well he lost his grip
And the sea grabbed hold of him
He gazed into their stares
And called, but no one came
They just chanted their siren song
Calling lovers to their graves, oh
'Our love doesn't hurt' they sang
As they threw his heart
Into the waves

Autumn Gold

We were born again
In Autumn Gold
But we lost ourselves
In the yellow souls
But we find salvation
In wandering leaves
But we find salvation
In the weeping hollow breeze
Well they wandered close
and lost themselves in silver branches
And higher they rose
To touch the skin of clouds for answers
But they wandered back wiser
Forgetting why they'd come
And they wandered back wiser
Enlightened and undone
Don't ask us forgiveness
Don't ask us forgiveness
For what we've done
Set in stone again
The road that they've made to home
But we've lost ourselves
In the senseless Autumn Gold
