Don't tell me the sky is falling
You're gonna break my heart
You look just like a friend I had
But I don't remember you
Come with me
You'll be safe in my arms
I'll hide you away
Your mom won't know
Your dad won't care
Your sister's…
On the last day of summer
The day before school
It started in the water
Everything was cool
Until we saw this thing appear
It didn't have a sound
This darkness in the water
Looked like a shroud
First
I thought
“I’m trippin’”
There…
How long did you think you could run for?
How long did you think you could hide?
I used to catch you in your sleep
And I'd sneak a peak at your dreams
And I watched you so close
From the back row
And I was always so slow
When I had you…
On the last day of summer
The day before school
It started in the water
Everything was cool
Until we saw this thing appear
It didn't have a sound
This darkness in the water
Looked like a shroud
First
I thought
“I’m trippin’”
There…
I let go of the weight, but I don’t say a word,
No need for a fight, no need to be heard.
You crossed the line, I saw the truth,
So I forgave you, but I won’t relive the proof.
No hate in my heart, no chains on my soul,
I set myself free…
Trucks pass by my house all night
Across the river east and west
I hike for several hours a day
And climb upon the granite crest
Where I can see the valley floor
And forest with its secret streams
The gold mined towns that lie below…
I see you laughing in the sunlight,
Her hand wrapped up in yours so tight.
And I stand here in the shadows,
Swallowing words I’ll never say.
I've loved you since the world was younger,
Since the stars were just a dream.
But fate ain't…
Trucks pass by my house all night
Across the river east and west
I hike for several hours a day
And climb upon the granite crest
Where I can see the valley floor
And forest with its secret streams
The gold mined towns that lie below…
Under the glow where the night hums light
We gather close like moths in flight
A feast of stars on silver plates
Time melts fast yet it always waits
Candles sway with the wind's soft tune
Dancing shadows flirt with the moon
Sip the…
On the last day of summer
The day before school
It started in the water
Everything was cool
Until we saw this thing appear
It didn't have a sound
This darkness in the water
Looked like a shroud
First
I thought
“I’m trippin’”
There…
So I'll follow the wind
where it leads me today
through the valley of silence
I'll make my own home way
and when the day is done and the sun sinks low
I'll listen to the whispers and let my soul go
So I'll follow the wind where it…
Trucks pass by my house all night
Across the river east and west
I hike for several hours a day
And climb upon the granite crest
Where I can see the valley floor
And forest with its secret streams
The gold mined towns that lie below…
On the last day of summer
The day before school
It started in the water
Everything was cool
Until we saw this thing appear
It didn't have a sound
This darkness in the water
Looked like a shroud
First
I thought
“I’m trippin’”
There…
I seem to find peace at the bottom of a bottle of Cote de Rhone again
And I think I found truth here in this honest confession
I've fucked up more times than you can imagine
Spent too many days in haze and confusion
Waiting and moping and…
I seem to find peace at the bottom of a bottle of Cote de Rhone again
And I think I found truth here in this honest confession
I've fucked up more times than you can imagine
Spent too many days in haze and confusion
Waiting and moping and…
The beach was deserted
We walked at the water’s edge
I knew she was a gift
As close as our future steps
Sunset forgot us
While we discovered life’s
Underformed questions
Washing onto naked feet
The wind rolled in
Carrying the moon…
So I'll follow the wind
where it leads me today
through the valley of silence
I'll make my own home way
and when the day is done and the sun sinks low
I'll listen to the whispers and let my soul go
So I'll follow the wind where it…
If a hurricane drives you inland
If an avalanche leads to palm trees
If a car crash saves you from burning
It wasn't meant to be
Someone's absеnce brings you peace (Brings you peace)
Then you haven't lost anything (Lost anything)

I've been missing in action for ages - apologies to all, I'm about to start listening again too.
For ages, I'd been considering a move away from my trusty Boss BR1600 on which I've recorded and mixed nearly everything…
