Lesson One: Forgiveness
03:55
|
|||
Leaves fall, under the autumn sun,
we fell in love so young,
Sharing the air.
The cold came, you wore my father's coat,
I kissed your naked throat,
You played with my hair.
Katie, your love was it's own gift,
we watched the leaves shift,
from deep green to gold.
Katie, been thinking of you lately,
and I thought that maybe, you might come home.
Cause baby, I'm broken and I'm achy,
the memories are fading, and I'm all alone.
Cocoa, burning a paper cup,
trading a kiss for luck,
there's froth on your lip.
Windows, frosted right through the glass,
autumn was bound to pass,
I'm losing my grip.
Katie, been thinking of you lately,
and I thought that maybe, you might come home.
Cause baby, I'm broken and I'm achy,
the memories are fading, and I'm all alone.
I climbed the hill with your letters in hand,
and I watched the sunset where we used to sit,
I burned all your words and the future we planned,
and I felt the warmth from the paper I lit.

Bear
02:07
|

The tavern walls were concrete and the floor was made of wood,
I tripped and nearly bust my skull.
Even though it was my birthday I wasn't feeling good,
I heard your voice from down the hall.
You helped me to my feet and then you offered me a drink
you told me that your name was "Bear."
Beeeeaaarrrr, we went to my apartment and you let down all your hair,
Beeeeaaarrrr, I woke up in the morning and you were no longer there.
The next day I went walking just to see what I could find,
I happened on an ancient stair.
I climbed that ancient staircase to alleviate my mind,
and who would be there but my bear?
Beeeeaaarrrr, we went to my apartment and you let down all your hair,
Beeeeaaarrrr, I woke up in the evening and you were no longer there.
The wedding band was golden and the diamond shone like snow,
I asked if Bear would be my bride.
The vows were fashioned olden and the priest he spoke real slow,
and then we had our wedding night.
Beeeeaaarrrr, we went to plan our future and I thought you would be there,
Beeeeaaarrrr, I woke up in the morning and you were no longer there.
And the tavern walls were bare.

The Monarch

I used to watch the television set but there'd be nothing on,
I used to read books *harumph*
I used to go walking out along the shore before the dawn,
I used to stay up all night writing songs on my moms guitar.
But now all I do, is sit and think of you, my Remington '64.
When I turn the lights off you're the last thing that I see,
and when I wake up in the morning, there you are, waiting for me.
And I know that when I'm gone, there will be a part of me inside of you,
blood sweat and tears, and wasted ink, and paper thrown away.
But now all I do, is sit and think of you, my Remington '64.
But now all I do, is sit and think of you, my Remington '64.

The Bird & the Whale
02:15
|
|||
We sat down with the sailor
My Dad brought to town.
He told us of places,
That had never been found.
My Mom brought him ale,
And he told us a tale,
Of how the littlest bird
Fell in love with a whale.
You can't be with me in the ocean,
He said.
And you never can live in the sky,
She said.
But when the water's real clear
The sea looks like a mirror,
And there's a whale in the sky
And a bird on the tide.
Baby don't cry,
Let me dry your eyes,
And tell me that you'll wait for me.
Though I know we must part,
You'll be in my heart,
For as long as there's sky and there's sea.
The memory's fresh
I can still feel your breath,
And though I'll never sail back to that time,
When the water gets rough
And I yearn for your touch,
I still can pretend that your mine.
You can't be with me in the ocean,
He said.
And you never can live in the sky,
She said.
But when the water's real clear,
The sea looks like a mirror,
And there's a whale in the sky
And a bird on the tide.
There's a whale in the sky
And a bird on the tide.

Wendy Darling,
Been missing you here.
The air's getting colder
A cold front is near.
The boys are all grown now,
They're starting to shave.
And every but me
Is acting their age.
And Wendy, Wendy
I still have that dress,
And it still smells like you,
So I'm washing it less.
And Wendy, Wendy,
I still have your dress,
And it still smells like you,
So I'm washing it less.
Now Wendy, tell me,
Are you still alone,
Or is there someone knew now,
That you're calling home?
We used to play pirates,
We used to pretend,
I guess it's just me now
With my medicine.
And Wendy, Wendy
I still have that dress,
And it still smells like you,
So I'm washing it less.
And Wendy, Wendy,
I still have your dress,
And it still smells like you,
So I'm washing it less.
Now Wendy, give me,
A reason to live,
Cuz everyone's gone now...
And Wendy, Wendy
I still have that dress,
And it still smells like you,
So I'm wearing it less.
And Wendy, Wendy,
I still have your dress,
And it still smells like you,
So I'm wearing it less.
