Bell Song 06:42
when the bells start to sound / meet me up on the 21st floor where the wolves are found / it's so high off the ground / that you can feel the thunder but can't see the clouds / and if I'm saved honey I'll be amazed / 'cause I'm down with the masters and maids / oh but still remember me well / like the sound of the song of the bell / time, she won't let me know / when to jump off the edge of the dock and when to take it slow / when she goes in to town / she fills up my pockets with stones just to weigh me down / and it's true that she still thinks of you / and you'll long to think of her too / if I'm saved honey I'll be amazed / 'cause I'm down with the masters and maids
2.
Our Ghosts 02:17
tell me something I don't know / anything that fills my head with stories from long ago / out in the country or down in the town / it's hard to choose just where to settle down / and I knew / there's just some places that feel alright / seems like I've been searching every day and every night / but all of the best ones you're close behind / or maybe you were there the whole time / and it's true / you can pass me in the dark and feel a sudden cold / have me thinkin' you were waiting just around the corner / maybe something in the wind will sound like whispering / all our ghosts always here with me
3.
was the east side of Los Angeles / that's where it all come down / swear I seen it coming 'for it hit the ground / I was under the impression that my influence was dry / but I landed and I didn't have to try / parking lot was empty / new it from the start / left my watch in the basket of a shopping cart / you always thought me crazy for running out of time / I was looking and there wasn't anything to find / passed me in Milwaukee / saw me walking by / didn't stop to talk, you didn't even try / really makes you wonder why you didn't take the time / you were rich then and my heart was yours to buy / it was almost Christmas / as prophecy predicts / He was standing on the corner with a crucifix / said "Do I know You" and "Would you like to try to be healed?" / But I just turned and waved goodbye / and then I'd get to wondering / if in the sea below / the siren's song was hiding in the undertow / that's what I was thinking when the water she went dry / then I heard you / somehow beauty finds a way to never die
4.
remember how it all seemed so clever? / escape to forever after / you call me just to say howdy / funny how loudly the little things speak / and all that I can say is tossed and turned to clay / I heard there's something on the other side / now I say goodnight / and it seems to me I left my body in the big city / on a bank by the river / not far from here / or was I walking? / you were on my arm talking / kings and queens were all stopping / just to bend the knee
5.
I been going east heading out of town / been praying for rain but nothing wants to come down / never seems to be there when you want it around / it'll make these old headlights seem cleaner / I been going crazy but it's all the same / the sky by the mountains is all lit up in flames / we're all out of coffee with nothing to say / but the wind's gonna carry us home / keep on moving through this sleepless land / and all our pearls have turned back in to sand / and sometimes oh I just don't understand / at least there's some light to start guiding your way / but it always gets tougher when the night turns to day / your heart starts to feel like a piece got away / and it ain't ever coming back home / the further you get out then the less you care / in the bustling cities where nobody's there / just like the monsters living under the stairs / they're waiting on you to get closer / and everybody welcomes you to town / they shake your hand and try to pull you down / we all just need a friend to keep around / so we can just go and we'll walk the streets clean / circle around, see the things that we've seen / hoping that rain doesn't leave us alone
6.
my stride was a storm that moved in as the crow flies / black clouds, wet eyes, steep hills, sharp tines / my god / did you leave the porch light off? / I'm lost / scavenging amongst the rocks / as the crow flies
7.
maybe some time we'll go and unwind / like an old fishing line / we'll cast in the seas / of summer's reprise / 'cause we're easy to please / and then someday soon / when the world gets tired we'll fly on up to the moon / and I'm sure the stars are beautiful up there with you / I was once told / of diamonds and gold / now they're ours to behold / the shimmering light / in the pitchest of nights / to our senses delights / and then when it's o'er / we'll float out to Venus or Saturn I'm sure / and there won't be nothing left here anymore
8.
Santa Fe 05:26
I ain't a talker / I've been quiet in my time / been thumbing down from San Antone in summertime / roadside diner with a crumpled dollar bill / I can have a cup of coffee 'til I've had my fill / something's whispering that there's water underground / cigarettes and high heels always get you in to town / sun's a gambler and he's buying in for free / but I always thought the night had better cards to read / I ain't a rebel and I don't know what to say / and when I'm done in Texas I might try Santa Fe / when things seem wonderful it's just the other way / and someday I'm gonna have to pay / I'm a lover / and I been trying hard / but I've broken all the hearts that I've been given so far / ain't no reason ain't no rhyme / and I could have worked it out if I'd just taken time / but you're a wonder like a simple trick of light / like a television flickering on Sunday night / I keep staring and I can't look away / from the colours and the voices and the eyes you gave / I ain't a rebel and I don't know what to say / I might see you later and I might walk away / when things seem wonderful it's just the other way / and if you want me then I'll come back home to stay / I'm gonna come back home

10.
there is the ground beneath us / and it sticks upon our shoes / and she can't be made our friend or foe / but she's a distant relative to you / there was a man at sea / who stepped upon the land / he kissed the ground and wept / and felt your lips beneath the sand / and oh it's true / I want to spend my time with you / there is the sky above / where few men dare to run / and when they start to fall below / you pull them up like helium / there is the ground beneath us / the home of everything / she dangles closely to a flame / but you keep her upright on a string / and oh it's true / I want to spend my time with you
