The Window 03:25
lyrics
buy track
I saw a girl outside the window yesterday Her face was made of gold Her face was made of paperclips and clay We watched her dance between the spaces in the rain We watched the sparrow call We watched her dance till she was swept away I want to breathe under the shadows I want to fog up all the windows with my breath I want to hang her from the gallows I want to feel you become one I saw a girl outside the window yesterday Her eyes were silver glass Her face was made of paperclips and clay We watched her sink beneath the waters of the bay We watched the dragonfly, We watched her sink till night had turned to day I want to breathe under the shadows I want to fog up all the windows with my breath I want to hang her from the gallows I want to feel you become one I want to breathe under the shadows I want to fog up all the windows with my breath I want to hang her from the gallows I want to feel you become one

The Wishing Well 02:31
lyrics

I was at the wishing well, I was wishing well My silver coin glancing off flaming golden brick A man of alcohol and aldehyde Rose up from deep below and kissed me on the cheek And he said “I was at the wishing well Bringing back the spirits of the dead" But my words all fell upon deaf ears So follow me and let me tell you what I said, I said This is everything I wanted This is everything I ever need By the time yesterday has started We’ll become one with the trees.” We wandered deeper then, deeper into the forest The trees all giving was to flashing fields of wheat No words from me of from my odd ghostly companion “till he turned to ma and let me tell you what he said He said “Everything is greener now Now I see the forest for the trees” Then he melted back into the ground I looked away and let me tell you what I said, I said "This is everything I wanted This is everything I ever need By the time yesterday has started We’ll become one with the trees. This is everything I wanted This is everything I ever need By the time yesterday has started You’ll become one with the trees."

Twilight Town 04:27
lyrics
buy track
In full I’d like to see you less than dressed for falling skies Tonight’s the night we ride until tomorrow’s path is nigh Let us venture to Twilight Town, tonight we die Let us venture to Twilight Town, tonight we Wait and see, still moving forward, never looking back to try Only through effort can we taste the bitters of the rye Let us venture to Twilight Town, tonight we Let us venture to Twilight Town, tonight we Drown in a sea of blue-brass coated urchins Find ourselves lost among the shadow passage Hang our heads high in the garden of lost thieves Just promise you’ll be there with me, oh won’t you please In full I’d like to see you less than dressed for falling skies Tonight’s the night we ride until tomorrow’s path is nigh Let us venture to Twilight Town, tonight we die Let us venture to Twilight Town, tonight we die

Wear Flowers in Your Hair 03:31
lyrics
buy track
Beneath the ocean colored bridge I waited for you A ghost a thousand ages old I made it for you So please wear flowers in your hair When you meet me by the sea And if tomorrow comes to pass Who knows what changes it will bring So please wear flowers in your hair Even if it's not for me The seasons change and summers pass Beneath the ocean colored bridge I waited for you A ghost ten thousand ages old I made it for you So please wear flowers in your hair When you meet me by the quay And if this night will never end We'll burn our souls so we can see So please wear flowers in your hair At the end of everything The sun will die and rise again (ahh, ahh ahh)
