Ray Amador: violin

The countryside
The slow gray fade
But I want to see the light
Don't you ever cover me with that shade
No

Oh, I'm feeling 
Yeah, I'm feeling fine
You can fill my cup
But I'm searching 
Yeah, I'm searching to find
Cuz the halcyon goes past most every time

I'm running
I'm running out again
But don't sell me
Don't sell me short again
No

I saw the look that you gave me
You're underwhelmed
I did what I was supposed to 
Can this be the end?

Break it all down
What do you see? 
If I see you, 
Would you see me grown old? 
So old

I'll still care if you don't
I'll keep walking on my own

I'm stepping once
You're stepping twice
No matter how much, 
I'm far behind, so slow
So slow

I won't be shy when you talk to me
Hold my thoughts when you're near 
And every time that you turned away
Well, you know I won't
You can fall right into me

Some might give in to mystery
Hold tight, they don't want to miss things
We will sigh out with the best of them

But since my boyhood, 
I've been swaying side to side
And since your girlhood, 
You've been looking me right in my eyes

They won't get down with the message
Stateside don't want to press it
I can't sigh out with the rest of them

Atlantic dreaming rust right into me
Dirt that I've seen is showing on my sleeves
Don't let me be cold at night

But since my boyhood, 
I've been swaying side to side
And since your girlhood, 
You've been looking me right in my eyes

Last Days

Additional musicians: 
Violin - Alexandra Touzinsky
Cello - Paul Watrobski

Make me believe in all the things that I’ve heard
Because I wanna feel that I am not the only one

Come on wonderful
Sweet, sweet wonderful
I could be your “and evermore” 
If you’d just be my wonderful

Faster going through the motions
Something so sharp when you hold it
Hand on my shoulder
Shirt on the bedroom floor
Head under water

Make me believe in all the things that I’ve heard
Because I wanna feel the warm that keeps burning through the cold

Come on wonderful 
Sweet, sweet wonderful 
I could be your “and evermore” 
If you’d just be my wonderful

Way of Knowing

Sad song, 
I don't want nothing 
At all

Hold out your hand
I'm turning 'round

Though my feet are cold
My eyes don't glow anymore, 

Sad song, 
I want nothing
Nothing at all

Want Nothing

Hope, I’ve come for you now
Don’t go on without me
Wait for now

Lights ain’t all gone out
The dark’s getting close though
Wait for now

Was I once golden? 
Covered, and home then? 
Oh, God

Hope, I’ve come for you now
Don’t go on without me
Wait for now

Wait For Now

Bird, who you wearing? 
But hold your tongue about most things
Girl with pearl earrings, 
You’ve been brought here just to sing

Oh, what a world
Half the sky left to bleed
Pushed to the side, 
Ripped a part out of me
Who got it so wrong? 

Won’t you take my name? 
And carry it on into the blue? 
Oh, what a feeling:
How you’ve got nothing left you can lose

Old choking on old, 
Gasping out, 
“It’s all he’s got pass it down
Please pass it down”

Oh, what a world
Half the sky left to bleed
Pushed to the side, 
Ripped a part out of me
Who got it so wrong? 

Long way down
So long, 
Good old boy 
They’ll be sending you off
Homeward bound, 
Never as lovely as you thought

Half The Sky

Once more for the boys
Imma make something real

Trust in all the noise
‘Cause it’s part of the deal

Do-si-do, baby know that it’s all wearing thin
And toe to toe, dancing on me, wanna watch it cave in? 

I’m not looking towards the man
Handing me useless ideals
Holding up nothing that’s real

Passing years by, the sun must go down
And holding on tight, though the water surrounds
But me, no. 
I wanna be my own
Cheers to the sea of the old
But that’s not the me that I know

Do-si-do, baby know that it’s all wearing thin
And toe to toe, dancing on me, wanna watch it cave in?

Cave In
