Devil's Due 04:32
She was all sizzle no steak The kind of heart that was on the take, well I took the plunge She skipped the state She was a summer swim and I had winter skates On this clump of dirt we’re all the same Well look at us, from stars and dust just shoveling pain Do we move on do we hold on to this river we tamed That quenches the heart like a fistful of rain Thirsty thirsty For love like holy water (Mmmhmmm) Take me take me I’ll be your whipping boy Too easy too easy Am I to surrender (Mmmhmmm) I'll be I'll be This is my holy war In the morning Right beside you Where we fall asleep You’re my baby In the morning Wake up by you Your smile so sweet Make a deal with the devil before the dust settles the devil will get his due The music keeps playing but the show’s long gone I got a fistful of rain to keep my head rosy and wrong Thirsty thirsty For love like holy water (Mmmhmmm) Take me take me I’ll be your whipping boy Too easy too easy Am i to surrender (Mmmhmmm) I'll be I'll be This is my holy war In the morning Right beside you Where we fall asleep You’re my baby In the morning Wake by you Your smile so sweet Oh my my my oh my you’re my baby! In the morning Right beside you Your eyes so sweet Make a deal with the devil before the dust settles the devil will get his due

Moonrise 04:59
When the summer full moon rises And the angels open up their wings Music like an incantation Hangs in the air on shiny silver strings  And so you move your body Ankle bells and blue and golden rings When the summer full moon rises I just wanna ride your angel wings When the summer full moon rises Melodies catch us in a spell  Campfire incantations Burning sweet and deep and oh so well And the rhythm wraps your body Ankle bells and blue and golden rings When the summer full moon rises And the angels open up their wings Remember all the friends that brought us here tonight The stars spinning a love song on ancient light They say when we were born it was the perfect time To be in these heavenly bodies under heaven’s shine When the summer full moon rises Thick and sweet the night air it brings Heavy like an incantation Upon your lips and waiting to sing And so we move together Because there’s love in everything Whisper murmur then it rises Ankle bells and blue and golden rings Hit the groove and now we’re moving Finger tips down through your toes Feel the sweat upon your body We can see how deep and sweet it goes And the rhythm moves in you  Ankle bells and blue and golden rings When the summer full moon rises Baby we will ride your wings Remember all the friends that brought us here tonight The stars spinning a love song on ancient light They say when we were born it was the perfect time To be in these heavenly bodies under heaven’s shine Remember all the dreams that brought us here tonight The stars spinning a love song on ancient light We were holding each close lying under the stars Like diamonds in the rough scattered between tents and cars Remember summer nights we thought would never end I was singing my love her love song then kissing all her friends The stars when we were born said it’s the perfect time To be in these heavenly bodies under heaven’s shine

The wind blew the fire out And the roar of the river was drowned By the ringing in my fears Behind the heaving in my chest An old stone came to rest And it’s hardened me to the core, I believe Well I’ve never felt a love like my love for you Never seen a universe like I touched in you A ball of flame in the palm my hand Burning so sweetly Say that you are leaving one more time, don’t cry Come help me to believe that our two loves won’t entwine Oh love Your speed blew the tires out I can’t keep up if you've come unwound And I’m burning through my gears Like a shockwave through my brain Our best memories play frame by frame Spinning through my head as if I'm already dead I never wanted my own kingdom ’til I fell for you So you could be ruler and I could be crew Fix the world with a wave of your hand Burning so sweetly Well I’ve never seen an ocean like the one in you So I roll with the wind like the waves that you rule Cast away with a shrug of your hand You hurt me so sweetly  Say that you are leaving one more time, don’t cry Come help me to believe that our two loves won’t entwine Say that you are leaving one more time, oh love Well I’ve never felt a rhythm like the one in you So I bend with the breeze as it blows through your bloom Endless warmth in the touch of our hands Burning so sweetly I never wanted my own kingdom ’til I fell for you So you could be ruler and I could be crew Fix the world with a wave of your hand You hurt me so sweetly Say that you are leaving one more time, don’t cry Come help me to believe that our two loves won’t entwine Say that you are leaving one more time, oh love Oh love

Lamplighter 05:07
You and I are the windblown Lost in faraway places Yet the only refuge we know We find in each other’s faces I will be your lamplighter, love So you can find your way And we'll find our way back home You carry me like a movie Our old love like a good meal  Replenishing where we’ve been defeated  By the love we still feel I will be your lamplighter, love So you can find your way You and I were made for wonder You and I were made to last Whether here or with another Come be rebuilt for love at last Come ignite this whim and wonder Come delight in our own surprise For tumbled hearts are ripe for plunder But tender trust is in your eyes So let us linger in this moment Tip of tongue through shattered glass And taste a touch of time rekindled And face the blush of memories passed Come picture this beyond our window With colors bright in the darkened sky Where broken hearts resign their torture With open arms towards the night  I will be your lamplighter, love Will you be the lamplighter for me And we’ll find our way

Won’t you come and run away with me Pack up your bags let the TV scream There is nothing nothing left to see, oh Just look around Just look around Just look around you Oh my love look around Just look around Just look around you Our fears they open wide And they writhe around with the same old stories They’re feeding us the same same lies We better get inside Or we better rise Bombs away and we’re standing proud As we leapfrog around the world ’til the lily pads run out They’ll take your comfort and take your home Just look around Just look around Just look around you Won’t you hold me Won’t you hold me Our fears they open wide And they writhe around with the same old stories They’re feeding us the same same lies ‘Cause there’s a hole in the ground in New York City We’re all being taken for a ride We better get inside Or we better rise Hope and change hope and war you better get inside and lock the door They’re gonna find you Left is right up is down take all of your love and melt it down They’re gonna own you Just look around Just look around Just look around Just look around Won’t you hold me Won’t you hold me Our fears they open wide And they writhe around in the same old bullshit They’re feeding us the same same lies Just thinking about it makes me silly This crookedness is eating us alive It’s overflowing like a river in New Orleans You got to get out if you want to stay alive ‘Cause the water’s gonna rise The water’s gonna rise Lift me up like a weary soldier I would risk it all for your embrace Oh my love let me hide inside you And lets throw our love at the kingdom of glass ’til it breaks Won’t you hold me Won’t you hold me Won’t you hold me Won’t you hold me Lift me up like a weary soldier I would risk it all for your embrace Oh my love let me hide inside you And lets throw our love at the kingdom of glass ’til it breaks

My unhealthy obsession with things that change Looks like it’s here to stay More average than most  More butter than toast I should probably call my mother again I can bother my banjo about the state of the world But I’d drop my own dinner for a look from a girl And I’ve never been as taken by the flavors I try As I am by the scent of your stare So shiver me Quiver me Dip into the river me I’m old enough to know better Not too old to care Slither me Come hither me Take this sweet delivery  Sorry if we mess up your hair We’re a stable full of jokers drinking one eyed jack Our most noble intentions we forgot in the back The art on the walls is moving in twos As the barman keeps shaking whatever shakers we choose The smoke in your eye leaves me clutching my pearls But your eyes on the prize is the breath of my world  Our sartorial strut as we move to the tunes Mixes the red of your whisper into the grunt of my blues So shiver me Quiver me Dip into the river me I’m old enough to know better Not too old to care Slither me Deliver me Take me to the river, see Oh we’re gonna mess up your hair We’re a stable full of jokers drinking one eyed jack She says her noble intentions she forgot in the back So shiver me Quiver me Dip into the river me I’m old enough to know better Not too old to care Slither me Come hither me Take this sweet delivery  Oh we gonna mess up your hair

Seven Seas 06:31
Hey won’t you stay with me please You roll like the ocean and catch me in the breeze You rock me gently And I want to roll as I ride your seven seas Here’s me moving up and down How do you untie me with your mind You cast off this shell and float this good design I’m your sailor, you see And I was born to ride your seven seas Here’s me moving up and down I see your waves crashing around Batten down the hatches we’re going for a ride Two by two baby say hey hey hey hey I’m a drunken sailor and you’re my honey wine On your able body I ride hey hey hey Ooo the wind and weather is dangerous But you and I we float like the best And in this I believe I want to drink you in a drown in your seven seas Here’s me moving up and down I see your waves crashing around Batten down the hatches we’re going for a ride Two by two baby say hey hey hey hey I’m a drunken sailor and you’re my honey wine On your able body I ride hey hey hey Oooo oh oh oh I breathe it out again Say ooooo oh oh oh ‘Cause here’s me So right with you And I can feel the sun in your curls I find your face in my mountainous dreams I love being here and moving Batten down the hatches we’re going for a ride Two by two baby say hey hey hey hey I’m a drunken sailor and you’re my honey wine On your able body I ride hey hey

Waiting in the wings Lost in the moment still as a stone A feeling of calm like I just came home The noise fades away and we are alone When you meet me in the middle of the eye of the storm The bustle falls hush like the dawn of a play A scene that's been brewing since my first day I smile calm as my legs give way When you meet me in the middle of the eye of the storm So easy to see that this is the way As clear as the words we were born to say: Nice to meet you let’s go spend the rest of our days dancing in the middle of the eye of the storm With mornings so good we make ourselves late We'll bury old bones and learn from mistakes And laugh under covers like we’re dancing on graves Making monkey in the middle of the eye of the storm Making monkey in the middle of the eye of the storm Waiting in the wings Lost in the moment still as a stone A feeling of calm like I just came home The noise fades away and we are alone When you meet me in the middle of the eye of the storm Come and meet me in the middle of the eye of the storm
