We made the mountains higher than our hearts,
higher than our eyes.
We set the sun to leave us to our thoughts,
to hide out from our lives.

Texas sun you breathe so heavy.
Texas sun you burn so cold.

I made the moon to keep me from the dark,
sleeping without sleep.
I held my hands clenched against the light,
because I thought that I could fight.

If I make it through the night,
then morning sun, won’t you shine your light?

I’ve sailed on ships in waters of the deep.
oh caves they grow so cold.
I’ve felt the sting of twisting, turning blood.
oh my veins they’ve grown so old.

If I make it through the night,
then morning sun, won’t you shine your light?
If I make it home tonight,
then morning sun, won’t you greet me with your light?

I thought I could wash,
wash away my sin,
make you love me more.

I could be the moon.

Morning Sun

We are night birds

on a prairie wind
and the dark air is cold
and leaves me thin.

There’s a lake
shaped like a winter country
and it’s five months
since the sunset.

Brother don’t you know that the water is white?
Brother can’t you see that the water is white?

There are flowers
on the water
and they’re drowning
slow slow slow.

And its five months
from then
until this snow.

There are flowers
swimming in summer
and her blue eyes
drank me in.

Well I’ve been running in fields
and I’ve been hiding in caves
Lord from your voice.

Brother don’t you know that the water is white?
Brother can’t you see that the water is white?

So we are night birds
on a prairie wind
and the dark air is cold
and it’s left me thin.

Well I thought she knew,
oh I thought she could prove
that you were there.

Night Birds

Don't you think about the crops
they're gonna grow.
Don't you look for higher ground
we can sow, right here.

Don't you whisper in my ear
I don't want to know.
No I don't want to know.
No I don't want to know.

You've got some wolfs blood.
It's running through your veins.
I've got some wolfs blood.
It's been running through my veins
Now it's pouring out my mouth.

Hunters put your weapons down,
you'll sleep alone.
Come and lie down by this pool. 
Don't you want to know?

You've you got some wolfs blood.
It's running through your veins.
I've got some wolfs blood.
Its been pouring out my mouth,
and it's been staining all my shirts.

Angel! Angel, stir the water won't you? Angel!

You've got some wolfs blood,
it's running through your veins.
I've got some wolfs blood,
it's been staining all my clothes,
now its running down the road.

Don't you bake your bread
for only you.
Don't you make your bed
for just right now.

You've got some wolfs blood.
It's running through your veins.
I've got some wolfs blood.Its been running down the road, and its been stopping up my heart.
