The Claim

I was just a wonderer insane
Dredging along the bottoms of the rivers and the lakes
Trying to find a place to stake my claim
Striking poor while others found their fame
I was just adrift amongst the bones
Sinking with the ashes of my wasted friends alone
Trying to put my feet on something strong
Taking one last try till I touch that steady stone
And I run the longest race
And I call your name
And I climb the highest way
And I call your name
I’ve run out of games, I’ve run out of lies to tell
Waiting for the moment when someone rings the closing bell
Ending up blue wrapped up inside a shell
Taking to the road, nothing but nothing but myself to sell
And I run the longest race
And I call your name
And I climb the highest way
And I call your name
I was just a blaze, I was just a wrecking ball
Living like a slave pounding on these prison walls
Windows in time, take me to, take me, take me to the one I love
I’m so tired of searching, standing, shivering alone in the cold and rain
And I run the longest race
And I call your name
And I climb the highest way
And I call your name

Man On A Wire

One more night hopping dives and you're not even downtown
Ending up on the curb of the street where your future runs
Ain’t no clothes you can wear that can hide you’re run down.
What’s the song you play all the time? We’ve come undone.
Take a good long look around,
Have your feet not touched the ground?
Don’t you know there’s nothing I can do?
Did I set your life on fire
Or are you just like a man on a wire,
Daring gravity to catch you?
You can roll like a stone but you can’t keep yourself turned on
There’s no fun in these games anymore when the music dies.
All these things that you do they just keep you from tumbling down
Must be hard to live so well, beneath a falling sky.
Take a good long look around,
Have your feet not touched the ground?
Don’t you know there’s nothing I can do?
Did I set your life on fire
Or are you just like a man on a wire,
Daring gravity to catch you?
Ten years long gone
I say this was love
But there's another place, another face that has come along
All these things I see, they make me scream for your name
Like another love has gone, has come on back
Well, oh hell, yeah
I said you
You come a little bit closer now
And I said I
I never needed you anyhow
But I say whoa
Take another little piece of me somehow
And I said baby, I needed you nohow
Take a good long look around,
Have your feet not touched the ground?
Don’t you know there’s nothing I can do?
Did I set your life on fire
Or are you just like a man on a wire,
Daring gravity to catch you?

Fire At Sea
06:14

Waves rushing, turning me round
Wagging tongues portend something’s coming round.
Squall’s coming flanked by a thunderhead cloud.
Time’s come when the sky’s gonna fall down.
Leave me now, let the time roll away
Like frost on the sails, ice in my hair let this sea take me away
Oh no my darling, don’t worry I won’t be afraid
‘Cause there’s something you gave me I call it the fire at sea.
Let it play, let the sirens sing and let Neptune rage
Let all the thundering transform the sea and wash me in the spray
I won’t pray, I don’t need to tell you I don’t need their help anyway
This fire, this fire will show me the way.
Let it rain, come on now world bring the rain down,
Show me your worst, let it pour down,
You won’t put this fire out.
Waters run,
You won’t drown the light in these embers
Not in the one who remember s
All she’s done.
She is fire, oh she's a fire at sea
She is fire, oh she's a fire at sea
I come home, hoping that nothings changed in you
Nothing like all I've been living through, all alone
Waters run,
You won’t drown the light in these embers
Not in the one who remember s
All she’s done.
She is fire, oh she's a fire at sea
She is fire, oh she's a fire at sea

So It Goes

Here's to us
Goodbye my love
We've had our fun
We've had a decent run, run, run, run, run
Far from here
Before it's too late
Before you regret
Before you hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Don't cry, it was only a matter of time
So it goes
I sing to the crows
About these forks in the road
Oh the songs we wrote
Do you
Still think of us?
Still on the move
Though I'm without your trust
To lean on
I never had
The heart to share
or the courage
To tell you I care, but I care, yes I care
So be careful
I sing to the crows
About these forks in the road
Oh the songs we wrote
I ache in my bones
To hear the words you spoke
My heart is full of sorrow
My love, my love, my love
Oh don't you know
My love, my love, my love
Of the road
If I stay in one place it'll be the death of me, it'll be the death of me
My love, my love, my love
If I stay home
My love, my love, my love
We could have grown old
Now I'm lost
It's my own fault
Because I ventured into the unknown
My love, my love, my love
My love, my love, my love
