The Fruit
03:26

Fruit in my window wastes away
Growing bitter and I’m doing the same
I can’t eat since you’ve been gone
I just pass the time
Death on the vine only grows
My appetite, my appetite
I sat here and watched you go
Let a good thing die and now I know
Don’t eat the fruit without watering the root
I wanted a taste I never earned
Now I get what I deserve
Tend to love with a tender touch
Before you take a bite

Shoot it all in Verite
I’ve got myself a camera
Got a room with a view
Gonna point it out this window babe
And shoot a scene for you
Real life is beautiful
Much to my surprise
For me to really see it though
It took a camera eye
Just an ordinary day
All the people on their way
I could take a picture
And hang it in a frame
It’s all moving on all the same
Why go on pretending?
I can manufacture feel
I’m gonna take a moment
For something real
I was walking by the water
And I came across a canvas
It was floating on the surface
Beautiful above the waves
I was taken so aback
By what was at my feet
As I was seeing something precious
And I noticed it was me
I took a picture of the way
I realized myself today

Poppyseed

She saw you as a poppyseed on a winter day
In a morning of diamond dust
She was searching for the words to stay
No matter what you will become
Poppyseed you have my love
She felt you like a heavy stone waiting for a wave
As the summer turned to fall
Finally the water came

Red Earrings
05:44
|

|
It’s been so long
Remember the night we met? There was a warm wind
And your red earrings shook against your neck
Tonight the air is much the same.
The years have only changed us only in appearance, just in appearance
A ruby out of mind is gonna lose its shine
An ember left in the rain, turns into coal
If you can find it in yourself to take a memory of the shelf
Put on your red earrings one more time
Show me the case they’re in, where do you keep it?
Covering up a stain somewhere beside your bed?
We all keep our secrets, some are gonna stay the same
But I’ve been changing. Yes, I’ve been changing these days

Dear Lorraine

Dear Lorraine
I’m outside of Macon
Wearing the coat you bought me but I feel so naked
I’m caught in the rain
Damp and cold
On a night like this
I need someone to hold
Dear Lorraine
A body can’t make it
When the heaven and the earth are trying to break it
Are you still the same?
An angel in the sand
Did you fly away
Are you hung up on dry land?
My car is rusty, baby so am I
One broken wiper but the engine works just fine
Dear Lorraine
I’m coming home
Been away for far too long
Dear Lorraine
Is your love light on?
Driving fast
I’m gonna be there by dawn
Don’t send me away
Dear Lorraine
What have I done?
The question turning bitter on the edge of my tongue
I made a stranger
Out of me
Open your door
I need a little sympathy
Won’t you help me ease my troubled head?
Is there still room on the far side of your bed?

Azul
04:46
|

|
She’s changing her name to a color that she likes
Saying hello the way she’s wanted to
She walks in a room a little nervous now
Eye shadow sparkling a brilliant shade of blue
Azul, you’re gonna make it
Azul, don’t tell yourself a lie
Baby be patient
Good things happen in time
She cut off her hair, left it on the ground
Earth colored curls, shreds of a cocoon
The weight disappears with every lock that falls
Her face in the mirror shines like a jewel

Pieces Of You
03:39
|
|||
|
Get out bed in the morning
Mouth is dry I get a drink
Even the water doesn’t go down easy
When I see your necklace by the sink
Radio asking if I’m lonely
As I put the car in drive
I start to answer but I’m cut off by the silence
Coming from the passenger side
Trying to think of what to say
Trying to think of what to do
Trying to think about anything at all
Except for all these pieces of you
I got a photo from Paris
A ticket from Versailles
Pieces of something that once took me somewhere
When somewhere was still on my mind
I found a smile in a photo
Was it you who put it there?
Tucked away in the back cover jacket
Of a story we once used to share

Gemini
06:58
|
|||
|
He’s a wave moving over me
He’s the glass that cuts my feet
He’s the moon but he’s also the tide
He’s the touch of a fingertip
Cold and hot like a razor’s kiss
On the line between good and goodbye
Gemini how can it be
Both halves of you
Have all of me?
Gemini to hold on to you
It tears me in two
It tears me in two
He’s the sound of familiar love
Spoken soft in a foreign tongue
He’s the smile in a strange pair of eyes
When will I quit hanging on?
Clinging to the right and wrong
When will I stop asking why?
