July-eh, July-oh

you were nothing but golden sun
and you made me feel better than good
i ask when you’re coming back to brighten my days
and you said hey july-eh, july-oh
i was worried you’d wreck my heart
in the heat of some big city night
but you stayed strong and true as i was to you
so i’ll sing hey july-eh, july-oh
i’ve been waiting so long it feels like hibernation
i’m living on old kisses, old conversations
i can feel the rumblings of spring
i’ve got a hunger for you, it’s unlike anything
i was counting each day gone by
but it made the time pass so slow
so there’s only one page on my calendar now
it reads hey july-eh, july-oh
i’ve been waiting so long it feels like hibernation
i’m living on old kisses, old conversations
i can feel the rumblings of spring
i’ve got a hunger for you, it’s unlike anything i ever dreamt before
the skies are mostly grey all day
got a bit nicer in april and may
but it won’t get bright until you bring back the sun
and i’ll sing hey july-eh, july-oh
but not til hey july-eh, july-oh

Out of this World
03:52

Over the moon, into the stars
And not a moment too soon
Over the moon
Into the sky, they call me crazy
I can’t imagine why
Into the sky
To say goodbye to that smile on their face
Lays me to waste, it almost holds ya down
I went out of this world
And after your star
I would spend every breath
Just to be where you are
Out of this world
In search of your light
And you may not accept me
But I hope that you might
I let you go, it took me all of
Thirty seconds to know
I had to follow you
Into the sky, they tried to stop me
I said don’t even try
Into the sky
To say goodbye to that smile on their face
Lays me to waste, it almost holds ya down
I went out of this world
And after your star
I would spend every breath
Oh, to be where you are
Out of this world
In search of your light
And you may not accept me
But I hope that you might

Let it Be Now

vision after vision running thru your head
carrying you along
how come the lord made me so weak
decided to make you strong
laser-like precision in the way you talk
you know just what you want
scrambling to follow every place you go
but at least it turns me on
and if it’s ever gonna happen, please christ somehow
if the skies are gonna open, then let it be now
let it all come down
how can I be certain when I cannot see
got my faith all ripped and torn
ain’t no better time for one world to die
and a new one to be born
lead me to the valley where your nature speaks
and your spirit is unfolded
Into the land where the crow flies straight
and the sunsets comes up golden
and if it’s ever gonna happen, please christ somehow
if the skies are gonna open, then let it be now
let it all come down

Thru the Dark
03:38
|

gentle voices talk like this
bringing you one final wish
your words escape into the sun
and that’s where you’ll be found
thru the dark and back around
i heard how your skin got tough
handling some nasty stuff
rumors brought into the light
keep on diggin’ down
thru the dark and back around
thru the dark and back around
on the surface it might seem the same
but underneath it’s overhauled
ever had your bullshit called
hangover morning here we come
that’s where you’ll be found
thru the dark and back around
thru the dark and back around
on the surface it might seem the same
but underneath it’s overhauled
ever had your bullshit called
hangover morning here we come
keep on diggin’ down
thru the dark and back around

Side Car Clyde

Side Car Clyde was a pussy cat
You’d never hear him complain
He fought like a lion in a leghole trap
When anybody pulled his chain
He went down hard when his sweetheart left
She never even said goodbye
Now he keeps to the shadows and to himself
So nobody can hear him cry
The devils run east and the angels west
Clyde runs north and south
He just ain’t thinking ‘bout all the rest
He’s thinking of her pretty mouth
He went down hard when his sweetheart left
She never even said goodbye
Now he keeps to the shadows and to himself
So nobody can hear him cry
You see him ‘round riding he’s a little rough
The sidecar’s empty now
He says that he’s never gonna give it up
He’s gonna get her back somehow
He went down hard when his sweetheart left
She never even said goodbye
Now he keeps to the shadows and to himself
So nobody can hear him cry

your dream is buried under 3-foot snow
and it will die there with no place to go
even the sparrows on the cold limbs know
that you are living inside of their vision
separate images might intertwine
am I looking through those eyes or mine
cuz in that moment when you fall in line
you'll be living inside of their vision
whoa mother look now, I've been breathing underwater
no chances taken, so they drug my heart away
and after all, it was my own decision
are you still there underneath all that swag
i don't remember you as such a drag
ya held a picnic on a checkered flag
when you were living inside of their vision
so if some wild thoughts start slipping through
look back in time it’s not so hard to do
and if you’re lucky you can start off new
cuz you've been living inside of their vision
you’ve been living inside of their vision

Catching the Stars
02:58
|

won’t you come down from where you’re perched now
let your hair blow free
streets are quiet, neighbors are sleeping
it’s just you and me
the kids have all gone tumbling to’ards
the danceclubs and the bars
c’mon, we’ll go out walking
sniffing the petals and catching the stars
ahh, we’ll go out walking
sniffing the petals and catching the stars
rings of flower, bewitching hours
get up dance and sing
trade my secrets for your expressions
i know you’d never say a thing
take my hand and wipe away
these bruises, scrapes and scars
c’mon, we’ll go out walking
sniffing the petals and catching the stars
ahh, we’ll go out walking
sniffing the petals and catching the stars
and i know these spells are cast to be broken
and a broken heart awaits for me at dawn
when you leave me for a mainland town
and it might as well be Mars
c’mon, we’ll go out walking
sniffing the petals and catching the stars
hey, we’ll go out walking
sniffing the petals and catching the stars
we’ll go out walking
sniffing the petals and catching the stars
ah, ah, ah...
