strong wind came through
a couple years ago
knocked feet off the floor
made a mess of me and you
the broken wings
form like rings in the window sill
above the kitchen sink
cracked doorways
hang around us
like a suit of weary armor
holdin their hands out
for the guest of honor
and wild i came
thunder and lightnin
caught in the pourin rain
old, patched-up screens
scratched out in heat
still chasin old summer dreams
where nothing is ever what it seems..
nothing is what it seemed
the owls, the moon, and i
still howl without the sky above
holding your drum
and the first gift i ever got you.
in my heart remains golden
all those plans that she let go
and all those pictures that
your daughter drew us
smiling in the sky
she's still trying to hold us
she's still grinnin' back there
wantin your reaction..
all her writing on the windows
still glares inside the moonlight
and just before sunrise
you can read her final statement
it's so beautiful, but you will never see it..
and i wonder if she'll even remember..
turned time into poison
years sped up cloaked
in spiderwebs and christmas lights
ran around your head
like a book you've read
again and again.
now the altar is torn down
the doors are broken
the car is gone
but your little crib, still waiting
built strong with love
built strong with care
under neatly piled outfits
of clothing that now will never fit you
that you never got to wear
all excitement turned to silence
the curtains drawn with
angels painted violet
above the trees who have
watched it all the while
and will always hold us
in their hearts..

slow stumble
goin past the way..
walkin, wonderin
if it’s safe to stay here
and i don’t know if i can move
cuz falling still feels so new
and the guilt stays so long..
but if it wasn’t for the guilt
would you still linger?
would you still be around?
or would you just have moved on?
or would you just have walked away?
okay, i think we lost him..
i think we lost him.
wandering around the same place you still hate,
making the same face every single day.
failure is the name that you once wore
but it doesn’t fit you anymore
and it never really looked that good
never really looked that good.
failure is the name that you once wore
but it doesn’t fit you anymore
and it never really looked that good
never really looked that good..
did you know, that’s the way i walked her home?
when the wind harassed and blew past the trees
and all those leaves that i once knew
and the sun that i was under
in a summer, in a school..
that was the way.
far back amongst those trees
that listened when you had the silence of the mystery within..
that’s just the way it goes..
i wonder if you would ever walk past the guilt
and past the suffering to see the final result?
but if it wasn’t for the guilt, if it wasn’t for the reason why..
would you still be standing where you are?
out there, wandering still..
failure was the name you used to wear,
but it doesn’t fit you no more..
it never really looked that good..
never really looked that good..

Will you sleep? (Try to get some sleep)
You can leave, cuz that's not home
(you can always leave, because that's not your home)
And it's not hard to say goodbye
when I know that it's not true
but who am I to "let you leave"?
This has been a long lesson learned
As far back as I look in any way that you know..
At the same time, how do we go through
what you did, cuz what you did was all erased?
My God, If I could only understand..
Cuz I gave you all my love..
but you wanted something else..
If I could only understand..
If I could only understand..

Goin' It Alone

I've been wandering outside
alone all night long
I've been goin' it alone
I've been still wondering
why I played along
I've been wondering
and I aint got no way to know..
But this, I swear on our son..
Wait, only wait for their song..

safe and sound
we're safe and sound, my love..
softly on my words awaken
softly, we float away
on all that's sweet
singing
calling out your name.
curling upon a rose,
and when you wake
surely we'll know..
gently you seek,
formidable
far off
in some deserted place.
but i'll be 'round
so you won't have to wait alone..
kochanie,
kochanie..
safe and sound
and not alone.
truly
when a little says a lot,
a little says a lot.
you'll always have that
space in my heart
because everyone needs someone
for sleeping when the sun is high above.
kochanie,
kochanie..

There's a hole in our hearts
that will never completely heal
however, it gets smaller everyday..
For the further we are
from the last time we saw you
the closer we are to seeing you again..
I'll see you again..
See you soon..
