Castanets Album

Puddles have turned to lakes
And we are playing out the story
Down these steps
The river is running

All through those trees
The leaves are gathering
And singing and nesting
Goodnight

Put on some water
You put on something nice
Take off that record
Take down those lights

It's alright
To want more than this
It's alright
To want more

It's alright
To want more than this
It's alright

[No lyrics]

All buried in the industry and snow
I saw you there
Breathing down the back of all those hills
I held you there

They held you above
That's what we came to love
About you

Your bright blue eyes they lit up
Just a ten west sunset
Lines in the road were once lovers
In the wet cement

They're still in love
You can tell by how they hold you above
They're still in love
Just waiting to be lifted up

You are the blood
Flowing through my fingers
All through the soil
Up in those trees

You are electricity
And you are light
You are sound itself
And you are flight

I've got something that my baby wants
And I've got something that my baby wants
And she's got something that I want too
Baby and I are through

I've been down to the bottom
With a bad, bad man
Down to the bottom babe
With a bad, bad man

Lay me down with your gentle hand

Well he said this darkness, it was untrue
And first he said this darkness, darlin',
It was untrue
And that there was no light to be found in you

But I know, darlin', that that's not true

And I had a dream so black
That I could not tell
Oh, honey, I had a dream so dark
That I could not tell

But I know that's just as well

And I don't know, babe,
Just where you've been
I don't know, darlin',
Just where you've been

But I've hung myself heavy here
Babe, I don't know where the hell I am

I thought that man, babe,
He might have something that I need
I thought that man, darlin',
He might have something that I need

But he had no anger
For you or for me
And, babe, I swear
That man never even knew I was here

Some of these friends of mine
How I miss them so
Good Lord, these sweet friends of mine
How I miss them so

But some of these, others beg
Well they're driving me around
On some cold, dark, and strange
And deathly roads

Take me down to your river
I want to see how it runs
Down to your river, darlin',
I want to know just how it runs

But if that man
Waits on the path
Then I know for good
That I'm done

And I got a feeling
That man, he's just begun

There are three days, and four nights to go
And I won't be with you anymore
Four nights like this to go

In the trees like a freeway without wind
A devil howling, silent again

And the chill of that sheet
On your skin

We ain't free my love
We are not our masters
Without side looks faster
Drowned and distanced

Rest and listen
As I cross these miles
I try to tell you “I love you”

The walk we take
In the rain today
Your feet in your boots
Under mine are the greatest

The way we refuse to be saved
The way we refuse to be saved
The way we refuse to be saved

I need you to love me
As you do
I wish you to love me
As you did

And I can't ask you
To take me and be true
But I can ask you
To love me as you do

But I can't pull you out of this
Can't love, love reward us?

I need you to love me
As you do
But I wish you to love me
As you did

And I can't ask you
To take me and be true
But I can ask you
To love me as you do

A trip out of town
As the moon goes down
And the faster we move
The faster we're found

And the closer we get
The brighter it sets
The lower it gets

[No lyrics]

My God
It's an eternity
Waiting for thee

There's a cancer
In the smallest bones
In the smallest breeze

And the houses
Have not grown their wings
We've no sleep
Among those stars

And our streets flow
Downward from those hills
They don't get very far

And my Lord
It's an eternity
Waiting for thee

And my Lord
It's an eternity
Waiting for thee

Happy days where you are
Happy days where you are
You've been waiting
I know, I know
And I've been waiting
You know, you know

But even with the hurt
And even with the harm
And even with the dirt
The sirens they announce
Lord, it's hard to go

But I'll be just where you are
I'll be just where you are

Head to head
Split synapse
Remember it brightly
Over breakfast

Hear you shake in your sleep
Hear you shake in your sleep

And our spirits could shift
In two different ways
Into each other
Into our daze

There's a breath on your neck
There's a breath on your neck
You've got this flesh
And you can't lose it

This body is a test
But you can't prove it

This is all our home
This is all our home
We know not to want
We know not to suffer
We know not to haunt
The hatred of others

They too have their flesh
They too need their rest
Honey, turn this room
Into a manger

We'll both get born
We'll both be strangers

There is no path in our flight
There is no path in our flight
There is no path in our flight
There is no path in our flight
