Rise From The Earth

Rise from the Earth
Head into the Sun
Here lies everything
That you had begun
In Heaven is my woman
Guilty as the Moon
She lies silvery and smooth
In the afternoon
The rhythms of the Earth
Beating in the ground
Beating like my baby's heart
Listen to that sound

Love Me Do
02:36
|

If you want me to
Get down on my knees
And beg you darling please
Forgive me
I will gladly do
Whatever it is you want me to
Just as long as you
Love me do
Love me like I love you
I will sell my soul
To get yours back from Hell
I'll train the dogs to yell
'Love me do
Love me like I love you'
The crickets in the morning
The snakes in the evening
I'll pick you up my darling
So you can bring me down, down ,down, down
I will gladly do
Whatever it is you want me to
Just as long as you
Love me do
Love me like I love you
Love me do
Love me like I love you
Love me do
Tell me that you do

Slow in the morning
Faster at night
Fields have gone to fallow
But crawling with life
The tilt of the longer light
Idle hands wait for the moon
carve the hours from hungry shadows
Slow, I'm coming through the day
Walking through windows
Staring down the doors
Feeling the grass grow under the floors
Lonely words circle back
The wind sends the clothesline to spin
Comb the eyes from hungry shadows
Slow, I'm coming through the day
It is a prayer for me
It is a prayer
The sky hung over me
Swallowed me in
I heard your voice
I called your name
Into the wasteland
the fire came
It took our sanctuary
it took our lives
Among the fallen trees
You saw me lie
Calling for fortitude
The fire renders old hearts to gleam
Cut the dark from hidden diamonds
Slow, I'm coming through the day
Oh my lord, please help me through the day
Oh now my god, please help me through the day.

She Wants To Be Free
03:58
|
|||
Well my friend
We have finally reached the end
And now it's time for the judgement
And I feel bad
To bring your family into this
Your brother, your sister and your dad
He came round with his condescending smile
Told me about how hard I had had it
But he can see that it had nothing to do with me
You just want to be free
How'd it get so bad?
Lying in this bed
Sinking to the bottom
I've been thinking that I just might
Try to let it go
Hoped and prayed that we'd meet up again some day
Laugh and play like a family
But I can see that it had nothing to do with me
You just want to be free
How'd it get so bad?
Sitting on my ass
Drinking from the bottle
I've been thinking that I just might
Try to let it go
Oh my Lord, if you'd open up that door
You'd see I'm worth all the trouble
You can see that it had nothing to do with me
She just wants to be free
She just wants to be free

We Won The Race
03:36
|

We won the race
Turned back again
Back to the heart
Back to the brain
We won the race
Took their women home
Back to the field
Back to the stone

Ugly
04:04
|
|||
The world is ugly
Guess you know that by now
People are bastards
Guess you know that by now
Life is painful
And it will screw you any way it knows how
Life is vicious
One day at a time
Your job is agonisingly meaningless
One day at a time
You can stop and smoke a cigarette if you want to
But you'll sure be working overtime
The world is ugly
Guess you know that by now
Life is painful
Course you know that by now
You can by your love a diamond ring if you want to
But she'll break your heart any way she knows how
Any way she knows how

Three Little Lambs
02:48
|

Three little lambs on a mountainside
A cold wind blows
See those lambs run wild
Nailed to a cross in the midday sun
Seen better days
Said the father to his son
Seen better days
Shine on everyone
Conversations running thin
Drink clean water
Catch your breath
And the light it's growing dim
With the beating of your chest
Poor little lamb he's gone
Daddy's dead, you know
Three little fish swimming in the stream
Mother said
'Girl, I'll fish you from that dream'
Poisoned river and a poisoned sky
A dull young man
Poisoning his mind
Cold black smoke
Poisoning the light
Conversations running thin
Drink clean water
Catch your breath
And the light it's growing dim
With the beating of your chest
Poor little lamb he's gone
Daddy's dead, you know
To the abbatoir you go

Golden Green
03:34
|
|||
Coming down on a train in the morning
Gonna see my baby
Coming down on a train in the evening
Gonna see my old lady
From the cold mountain summit
To the golden green valley below
Do you know what it is to be a'healing?
I'm healing momma
Do you know what it is to be a'feeling?
I'm feeling alright
From the cold mountain summit
To the golden green valley below
Dear Jesus, I'm sorry I went off without you
I thought I'd be alright
Dear Buddha, I'm sorry I forgot all about you
I was lost in my own mind
From the cold mountain summit
To the golden green valley below

Baby, How You Were Mine
03:35
|
|||
I loved you all through the winter
I loved your fruit on the vine
I loved you down wind in summer
Baby, how you were mine
Whenever you're near me I stumble
Whenever I see you I'm blind
You silence the nightmare inside me
Baby, how you were mine
Still see your face in the fire
Still feel your breast in my claw
Been more than ten years without you
Still I'm hopelessly yours
The wearying years they do nothing
The walls of love know no time
I'll sit in here musing forever
About baby, how you were mine
Baby, how you were mine
Baby, how you were mine
