Into Gold
03:50

I’ve been following stones I’ve thrown
I cannot seem to leave those days alone
I felt the fire
I burned my bridges again
It was down by the deadwood
Down where the dirt track bends
I’m coming out of Black Hill
Swam the Green Ridge lake
It’s harder now it’s over
Harder to take
I felt the fire
I burned my bridges again
It was down by the deadwood
Down where the dirt track bends
That old dirt road it turned to gold, it turned to gold
That old dirt road it turned to gold, it turned to gold

Pale Sun Rose
03:04
|

North coast swells I feel it when the cold comes in
Run red deer you’ll need to when they hunt your skin
Evening came to the corners of my mind again
Cold and clean a ringing on an open plain
But it seemed so long my friend
My memories have all but gone
Back to my whispering mind
Pale sun rose a shimmer on a dusty morn
Wheel will turn spinning and my past will burn
But it seemed so long my friend
My memories have all but gone
Back to my whispering mind
I wait in the tall grass while the earth it slowly spins
I recall some other place some other time just for the moment
And it’s been this way for a thousand years or more
But I’m starting to forget I’m starting to forget

To The North
03:35

He took that family
To the farm by Steeler’s Cove
Cold hands not much to say anymore
Don’t take too long
He lived in solitude to the North
Where wild flower burn
Black thought would weigh like lead
Till the chain set in his head
Morning would come and he would be back home
He’d taken his time and taught them all he’d known
Left on the farm he left them on their own
Promises burned he burnt them there alone
Promises burned alone
He moved from town to town
With a lust untouched
In god he did trust
He told him he’d done what he must
Morning would come and he would be back home
He’d taken his time and taught them all he’d known
Left on the farm he left them on their own
Promises burned he burnt them there alone
Promises burned he burnt them there alone

Out Of The Darkness
04:10
|

I saw you in my mind when I was younger
Then I grew older and I saw you still
You’d stay close to me sometimes behind my shoulder
When I was weary trouble would come
In my last defence you tried to warn me
I did not know you, you were a demon to me
Your presence it was a fear that lived inside me
It grew around me then you would appear
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
I was dead and I was dying at your doorway
I did not see you, you did not appear
Between the years I might have come to know you
But I don’t own you that much is clear
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
I was afraid someday you’d return
Unchanged at my door as you’d once been before
A threader of fortune or a bringer of gloom
Out of the of the darkness and into my room
I was afraid someday you’d return
Unchanged at my door as you’d once been before
A threader of fortune or a bringer of gloom
Out of the of the darkness

Counting Paths
04:06
|
|||
|
I crossed the clearing yesterday
It’s somewhere that I recognise
Counted all the paths along the way
Further than I’ve been before
Touched your hand but nothing more
No one’s ever looked at me that way
No one’s ever looked at me that way
No one’s ever looked at me that way
Soon your touch will disappear
It’s something that I recognise
Something that I should have come to fear
Trace the lines upon your face
They tell a tale you can’t erase
No one’s ever looked at you that way
No one’s ever looked at you that way
No one’s ever looked at you that way
Well if I could apologise
Put the light back in your eyes
No one’s ever looked at me that way

Everything That Dies
04:26
|
|||
|
Wait on the breeze
Through red topped trees
Time it will roam
Bask where you’ve grown
Seven geese in flight
Call from a great height
Grey winged then white
Grey winged then white
You said everyone you know
One day will surely die
But everything that dies
In some way returns
Down to the wood
Where I first stood
Down to the flood
Where I drew blood
Seven geese in flight
Call from a great height
Grey winged then white
Grey winged then white
You said everyone you know
One day will surely die
But everything that dies
In some way returns
You said everyone you know
One day will surely die
But everything that dies
In some way returns
You said everyone you know
One day will surely die
But everything that dies
In some way returns

Nowhere Now
03:45
|
|||
|
It’s harder now the work has stopped and we’re nowhere now
Old bones that wear you down old dreams that push you around
Maybe I’m a stubborn man maybe I can’t see
But Jesus don’t talk to meI never did believe
Believe
Do you need to keep pushing on
‘Cause this place, this place is like a funeral
I couldn’t help thinking on
The talk I heard on the radio
If they’re gonna keep pulling it down
Someday maybe you should let it go
I don’t mind telling you so
If it gives you something to hold on to
Something to hold on to
We followed the white deer trail, found a hunters trap
Made out of steel and wire, body gripped and wrapped
I run my hands across your jaw your teeth your tongue your brow
The blood has spread into your brain we’ve got to get it out somehow
Somehow
Do you need to keep pushing on
‘Cause this place this place is like a funeral
I couldn’t help thinking on
The talk I heard on the radio
If they’re gonna keep pulling it down
Someday maybe you should let it go
I don’t mind telling you so
If it gives you something to hold on to
Something to hold on to
A pink moon shone, lighting your shadowy door
A witness to what came before
A witness to what came before
Do you need to keep pushing on
‘Cause this place, this place is like a funeral
I couldn’t help thinking on
The talk I heard on the radio
If they’re gonna keep pulling it down
Someday maybe you should let it go
I don’t mind telling you so
If it gives you something to hold on to

A Memory Of You
03:23
|
|||
|
Are you happy now
Is the world spinning the way
You need it to
Floating in an abyss with you
Is it is easier to keep your head above
The waters that you swim in
‘Cause I recall the time you lost your mind
You seemed so small
That was years ago
We’re older now
And yes we’ve grown apart
It seemed to me it was with you from the start
A yearning to find yourself a home
And now that it’s yours do you still feel alone
‘Cause I recall the time you lost your mind
You seemed so small
That was years ago
This ain’t some kind of love song
It’s just
A memory of you

Old Ceremony
03:37
|
|||
|
And when the winter drifted in
I was not expecting
You to hold on for so long
You to hold on for so long
The day the white deer died
The snow turned red as wine
I know how hard we tried
I know how hard we tried
And on that day you came to me
Flowers woven in your hair
Felt the ocean on your skin
The promise it would bring
‘Cause I remember you
And you remember me
We’ll feel this way again
We’ll feel this way again
It’s just an old ceremony
Again it’s just an old ceremony
And now we’re filled with hope again
Yes we’re filled with hope again
I whispered in your ear
Like you whispered into mine
I’ll be here when we’re old
When our stories almost told
And all those dreams we’ve made
Will slowly start to fade
It’s just an old ceremony
Fade it’s just an old ceremony

Another Way
03:20
|

Someday soon I’ll live as I should have lived
Love as I should have loved
Give as I should have gave
Someday soon I’ll stand as I should have stood
Be as I should have been
Speak as I should have spoke
Someday soon I’ll see as I should have seen
Do as I should have done
Hold as I should have held
We can change our lakes to oceans
Close your eyes and just fall asleep
All within the chambers of your mind
I was trying to find
Another way
Someday soon I’ll live as I should have lived
Someday soon I’ll love as I should have loved
Someday soon
Someday soon
Someday soon
Someday soon
Someday soon I’ll live as I should have lived
