I met you through a common friend
In the attic of my parents house
And though I didn't know it then
I soon was finding out
You are the roots that sleep beneath my feet
And hold the earth in place
The water runs away
And I hear your name
No, nothing has changed
There was this book I read and loved
The story of a ship
Who sailed around the world and found
That nothing else exists
Beyond his own two sails
And wooden shell
And what is held within
All else is sure to pass
And debate what's truly permanent
But when the wind starts to shift
There's no argument
I sing and drink and sleep on floors
And try hard not to be annoyed
So when I'm suffering through some awful drive
You occasionally cross my mind
Well are you?
Oh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet
And hold the earth in place
Sunlight pours in
A lifetime melts away
And we share a name
On some picturesque grave

I am a blue blood
I will admit that
I dance in blue shoes and wear a blue hat
Live in a blue house
On a blue street
In a blue town
By a blue creek

Some plans were made and rice was thrown
A house was built, a baby born
How time can move both fast and slow amazes me
And so I raise my glass to symm...
Lots of things I could have done.
It's the thought that always counts I guess.
Even one that don't make sense.
Even when its easy to forget.
To much t...
Tomorrow when I wake up I'm finding my brother
And making him take me back down to the water
That lake where we sailed and we laughed with our father
...
A house of cards, a supple heart
Is not a place to dwell
Now you have your cake, don't hesitate
Common just do it, Common just do it
Put it in your mo...
Bright Eyes
Lover I Don't Have To Love
I picked you out
Of a crowd and talked to you.
Said I liked your shoes,
You said, "Thanks, Can I follow you?"
...
Grey like new day leaks through the window
An old soul song comes on the alarm clock radio
We walk the forty blocks to the middle
Of the place we hear...
