you were playing in the bay
all embracing salty waves
i was hanging picture frames
round your face

~
and here i totally forgot a verse 
but who cares because joe kye's violin
~

here i am
there you go
and you're still running
still running
run away

i am breaking all i've saved
you are quaking from the weight
it's still taking all my strength
to stay awake

and while you're wasting all your days
i'm replacing my old ways
i'm not taking all the blame
to my grave

and here i am
there you go
and you're still running
still running
run away

oh, let me go
if this is heaven, let me know
i will let you fly
we'll get to heaven by and by

and here i am
there you go
and you're still running
still running

here i am/from the bedroom

the fireworks over the bridge
in spite of words, bought me a kiss

i bought that dress at the four seasons mall
tell me, did it impress that new boy after all?

your tongue in my ear and the ducks down below
it ends right here on our bench in the cold
it was only a year

your final words were something like love
but the fireworks were never enough

you tell me it's your god-given right
to hide away in the dead of night
so i hold you like i'm holding all my time
until the day we close our eyes
and babe you know it might just be tonight

so when i go, plant me like a seed
and help me grow into a willow tree
if you tend the soil like you tend to me
and sing the songs we used to sing
then baby i'll still be here listening

the morning's come to run us out of time
no holy ghost to haunt the night
but you kiss me like you'd kiss a beam of light
so hold me close, it's only right
to promise me we're never gonna die

holy ghost/from the bedroom

rivers go by so fast when you're drivin
but i've got faith they make it to the sea
i'm aimin for someone on the horizon
and my heart stretches far as i can see

well i headed out east on time i borrowed
now i'm countin counties passin by
i'll drive all day all night and more tomorrow
cause all i see from here is road and sky

and don't ask me why
but i don't make much sense unless i'm ramblin
there's fear in every shadow that i stand in
and home, well that's just any place i land in

i chased you up and down that hudson valley
slept in my car on boulevards between
and there you were just dancin all around me
wavin flags i never coulda seen

somewhere on the delaware i found you
i even got to be your valentine
but six months in, i'm already without you
well i guess that you were never mine

maybe it's time
there's nothin left that's better left unspoken
nothin quite as poisonous as hopin
and not a heart as soft as one that's broken

now i'm barrelin back west on 80
i'm not countin counties anymore
just prayin that the delta's gonna save me
cause these days all i need's an open door

the rivers never leave me when i'm drivin
i think i'll let them carry me to sea
i'm aimin anywhere on the horizon
cause home stretches far as i can see

well you stopped comin round so i sleep with my guitar
i think it treats me better
you're nowhere near my town and you'll never come this far
so let's talk about the weather

i heard there was a hurricane
it blew the boardwalk miles away
well just because i'm worried, babe
that won't make me beg

i'm not alone
i haven't turned to stone
and if i was blue
well what's it mean to you

my feet are on the ground and i'm shuffling my cards
i hope my odds get better
if i could talk to clouds then i wouldn't try so hard
predicting all the weather

you sent me through a hurricane
it blew all of our dreams away
and just because i miss them, babe
that won't make them stay

i'm not alone
but i watched you turn to stone
so what if i'm blue
what could it mean to you
