and if you're scared
04:43
|
|||
|
I come to you with guitar in hand
to tell you a story I hope you'll understand
that behind those closed curtains
there's nothing to be afraid of
and if you grow uncertain
just ask what you are made of
I came to you with some hope in hands
just sat by and watched as you cultivated the lands
and I saw a star fall right before my eyes
or was it just you in a clever disguise?
|| and, Crystalline, if you're afraid of the dark
|| just take my hand and on this road we'll embark
|| let's take a gamble, find out where we land
|| by your side I'll still be - I'll write your name in the sands
and you were like the flowers in spring
just blowing in the wind, and I could hear you sing
these words of enchantment that captured my heart
and from that still moment, I arose from the dark
and on the dock, where that night we stood
I told you not to worry; I did what I could
and as you began to whisper your fears into my ear
I wrapped my arms around you - I'll always be here

The Music
03:20
|
|||
|
finally, a piece of you has washed away into the sky
finally, I know my place, I've found my space away from you
and I know it's not hard to love another woman
but then again, how do I find her?
can I find her?
|| a lot has changed since you
|| since you forgot about the music
waiting on this emptiness to leave me for a while
but at least I'm better than I've been
I've been making some new friends for distraction
and I know it's gonna take some time to pick me up
but I'm tired of waiting...

flowers
04:11
|

|
heavenly flowers, flowers falling around me
heavenly flowers, flowers redefining history
I never thought I could love the way I did back then
oh, it's started all over again
I never thought I could live the way I did before
like I did before
heavenly flowers, flowers floating into the sky
heavenly flowers, flowers when I look into her eyes
I never thought I could feel the way I feel right now
oh, I'm falling, I'm falling again
I never thought I could crash the way she makes me crash
and crash...
heavenly flowers, flowers turn for another wind
heavenly flowers, flowers won't let me come in

Sleeping with Angels
02:25
|
|||
|
she’s flying like an angel, impervious to time
the rain that falls from cloud lines just easing up my mind
and I swear that when the sun falls past that crooked Texas sky
as I’m laying down to slumber
you’ll be on my mind
she tiptoes in the twilight
and floats around the day
she burns the sky with orange
at night she brushes grey
when the stars roll in and dot the sky like burning gems of age
the hands of time preparing the turning of a page
the moon is slowly creeping to illuminate the night
the stars you left when leaving still are burning bright
and when heaven brings me traveling to the opening of a door
I will scatter petals across the desert floor
a year has passed since winter
the snow has fell and gone
it doused your grace with envy
jealous of your song
and if the place in which you’re staying is a happy, comfy home
well I bid you well forever
and I’ll see you when I’m gone
|

You Blow in the Wind
02:48
|
|||
|
car broke down in Arizona
I was trying to get away
had no money in my pocket
had to find a place to stay
and all I packed were pictures of you
the things I couldn’t leave behind
but now I’m stuck here in the desert
I’m just trying to survive
|| oh….
the world’s much bigger here in Texas
the sky’s more empty in New York
and if I knew you would be waiting
I’d take a trip up to the north
I heard your voice in Alabama
I think it drove my mind insane
withheld your memory down in Houston
I felt you falling in the rain
|

One Reason
03:30
|
|||
|
give me one reason to do what I do
yeah, I want a reason to do it for you
and I want to hear your name coming from my voice
and I want to bring down rain that’ll make my land moist
show me your reason for dancing that way
oh, we’re in season - don’t just walk away
and I bet you can hear my voice from down the corridor
and maybe you’ll see my face like you never have before
|| am I old or am I new?
|| how do I appear to you?
|| and am I smart or am I cool?
|| don’t tell me I’m just a fool
|| am i old or am I new?
|| how do I appear to you?
|| do you ever come undone
|| when I play this guitar, hun?
give me a reason to look for hidden gold
when I lose all breathing and step through your threshold
I want to know your truth so won’t you lean close
and scream it in my ear ’til I can’t hear….
what’s in store for me - have I been around too long?
some image restored of me when I started to write this song
and do you want to know my truth? well, I’ll tell it to you
and it may sound uncouth, but what’s it to you?

don't let it fall
03:19
|
|||
|
thoughtful words could never describe
all the things that I feel tonight
and, oh, the moonlight it never cut me so thin
wishing to get lost in your skin
so weak, the world surrounds me
so hurt, you still astound me
|| save me, love me
|| touch me like your heart has never felt, yeah
|| hold me, grow me
|| savor ever wonder that we've built
|| don't let them fall
|| don't let me fall
I'm waiting for something that's not there
running my fingers through your hair
and, oh, if you just let your feet touch the floor
and come to me, I'll give you more
so alone, I need you to save me
so destroyed, I want you to crave for me

Besos de Café
02:38
|
|||
|
quédate así que quiero estudiar tu cuerpo
con mis manos navegar las olas de tu pelo
olvidarlo todo y saciarme en tus ojos
alcanzar el cielo colgado en tus labios
|| y bésame con tus besitos de puro café
|| despierta mi alma que esta noche no hay más nada que perder
refúgiate en mis brazos hasta el amanecer
y cuando salga el sol, que ilumina tu piel
ese sabor de ti perfuma mi ser
me hago eterno con tu desnudez

Huellas
02:23
|
|||
|
te cantaré mis canciones y te daré lo que tengo
para demostrarte que este cariño es sincero
y si llegas a olvidarme, te mandaré mil bendiciones
pa' que sigas tu vida sin dolores
es que no es suficiente con solo hacerte el amor
después de compartir de mí todo lo mejor
y aunque ya vamos a tener que partir
ya dejaré en tu sangre huellas de mí

La Musa
04:16
|
|||
|
luna, por qué estás desnuda
te quitaste la ropa
bailando sin vergüenza
y dime qué es tu secreto
lo que llevas adentro
porque quiero aprender a vivir así
|| y no puedo esperar
|| he estado ahogándome
|| en mis sueños, colgándote
|| estoy obsesionado con todo
|| tu boca y tus manos
|| y, luna,
|| no me dejes olvidarla
|| para saber que, en mi alma,
|| sigue la esperanza de volver a amar
luna, ya casi llega el día
y tú ya vas dormida
el eterno baile de tu vida
y cuando llega el sol
cuál es el que te ilumina
le daré las gracias por esta cita

Desde Saturno
02:37
|
|||
|
esta noche estoy viendo que ando medio loco
busco unas palabras y no las encuentro
desde que te fuiste me he quedado un poco mudo
con los dedos congelados y los sesos en humo
no me arrepiento de haber nacido
pero te confieso que a veces duermo demasiado
y cuando el sol clave sus rayos en mis heridas
buscaré la forma de cegarme en tus pupilas
últimamente, un desastre he sido
no consigo cómo deshacerme de lo recibido
y desde Saturno los satélites contestan
las señales corporales que en mis sueños despiertan
esta noche te recuerdo que ando medio loco
busco algo de esperanza, pero nada consigo

One Are We
04:03
|
|||
|
I heard you walked into the dark
where I hide inside myself
I heard you bathed in all the rain
that was pouring from my veins
and I loved you like I never loved before
but I turned back
I felt you taking all of me
everything I ever wanted
I heard your drug was liberty
a pill that blinds and numbs
and I heard you smiled when you saw me
but I turned back
|| must be something wild, must be something free
|| all the ways you crave for me
|| come taste my blood, come devour me
|| just come be infected with my disease
I heard you walk into the dark
where I've always been myself
I saw you touch somebody else
and that touch was lonely
but in your cells you will believe
that one are we

graves
02:53
|
|||
|
go bathe in him and let him wash through your bones
and break your voice with a scream of passion
let it drip down your leg
down to the bed
of my dreams, of my regret
and let the fires burn through what's left of me in you
and let him kiss you with his hands of flames
while I dig your grave
come back to me and see me drown just as you choke
we still pretend we're not alone together
as we undress to the rage of the moon
we both beam with our regret
come taste the ashes biting through the rest of you in me
and we can laugh as though we're not blame
while I dig your grave
I've kissed the pieces of you already in the ground
with all these tempests I can't ever explain
well I'm in my grave

The Boy in Sleeves
02:38
|
|||
|
you know me, the boy in sleeves
trying to get myself together back into one piece
well she was fire and I was a tree
kept trying to yank my roots up so I could leave
but there's no way to save a man who tied himself to illusions
who thought he found his home and put it all in the arms of a woman
well this is how it all began
discreet looks, kisses, contraband
my thought was two, but there were three
the stuff of books was staring right at me
she said "no" but I said "please"
now that I've known the air I need your help to breathe
and I don't care if you lie, I just want you to be loving me
and she said "oh-ooh"
well here I am, the square one man
trying to chase her out the ridges carved in my two hands
but where there's fire and thirsty land
a hopeful heart's never to be found again
now that she's gone maybe comes the muse of composition
to come fill my hands with songs instead of destitution

Song of Old Lovers
02:39
|
|||
|
here we are again
the same old lovers, same old friends
here we go again
recycled motions
without an end
and I know what you’re thinking
you’re thinking that it’s alright
that every pair is destined
to dim in later life
you’ve lost your taste for war
with nothing to wager
there’s none to gain
with silence we could afford
the blows of indifference
the swiftness of age
and I know what you’re thinking
you’re thinking that it’s too late
that we’ve been too long building
this alter we can’t replace
here I am again
your same old lover, your same old friend
with The Question and some hollow men
if the doubt can detain us
let us be condemned
and I wonder what you’re doing
if someone’s caught your eye
have you quenched your thirst for fire
is it merciless appetite?

Tu Piel Profunda
04:11
|
|||
|
espero escuchar tu voz y sentir tu respiración
por mi piel, sentir tu boca y que entre a mi corazón
escuchar tu canto eterno
dibujar tu silueta por dentro
eres mi agua en puro desierto
|| es que me estoy muriendo por dentro sin verte
|| es que me estoy llorando mis penas, llorando mil penas
|| cargando cadenas por ti y tu vicio, maldito infierno
|| infierno que no lo soporto
|| mi vida, he perdido
ya sé que estás muy lejos de mí
y esta noche no podré dormir
bailando, cantando mil glorias
en el patio de nuestra memoria
me ahogo en tu risa profunda
me pierdo en tu piel desnuda
recuerdos que matan
