I fell asleep in the silence
Before the street fights the fire
Free in the world that you've given
Lay in the sound,
The water still calls,
Still calls
Afraid of the dark that surrounds me
Hide in the dirt of the ground
Free in the wind that surrounds me
I'm not afraid to sleep in the night
Not afraid,
To sleep in the night
Free like a bird of the holders
Holding the wake of the sun
I know the road that you send me
I know the way it leads to home
Real like the bones in my body
Real like the flesh that covers the grave
It's real,
Like the flesh
That covers, The grave
Wait for the guards that you send me
Before I'll show myself,
Wait for the storm that comes to me
Maybe I'll just change my mind
Plea for the will of forgiveness
I'm not afraid to say I was wrong
I was wrong
Maybe I won't
So long
So long

Ride it on baby,
Into my view
Ride it on baby,
Into your side
Ride it on baby
Just like you used to do
Did you want me to love you, well,
I'm just here for the call
And you said that you're so low, well,
I won't really do you any harm
Won't you ride it on baby,
Just like you used to do
There's no love that you're over feeling
And you still want to be with me
But you're leaving like you said that you would
I'm waiting for the call
And you love like you always say now
But you know it won't do you any harm
Ride it on baby,
Just like you said that you would
Oh then ride it on baby,
Just like you know it's understood
Ride it on baby,
It's still into your view
Ride it on baby,
I only want to be with you
I'm dreaming that you're going far,
And you lie, take and whine
Won't you ride it on baby,
But you're so heavy for the price
Ride it on baby,
Just like you said that you would

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there.

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew

Oh Mary of Silence,
You pick my heart with a smile
Oh sweet Mary,
Come inside for a while
Help me get a hold on you,
Or I look in the night
I thought of myself beside you
Take me into your skin

Oh, Sweet Mary of Silence
Oh, Sleeping Mary of Silence

We have a steady confusion,
You're looking at fear
It doesn't seem like the first time,
You walked out in a hurry

Oh, Sweet Mary of Silence
Oh, Sleeping Mary of Silence

I look in , In your window,
To check my head in your pane
My last thoughts , they come to me,
I can't take the pain

Oh, Sweet Mary of Silence
Oh, Sleeping Mary of Silence

Help me walk with you, To the sky that we see
Shuddering in myself, in-my-self
Oh where
Oh when
Oh well
Sweet Mary of Silence X4

Bells ring into the night
Sounds like a mistress on a rainy night
Hold your throw down together
And see the light that goes away
Leave my heart down by the water
He spins inside my soul
It isn't true but you follow
Just hold me down by the water
They say you look like a believer
Look up to see the weakness in the sky
Nobody's out to buy your story
Nobody wants to know your reason why
Hold your hands out towards the water
In front of me to know I'm with you
Don't put it all into your hero
Look on if you believe
Look on if you believe
Look on if you believe
Don't want to say that I'm through with it
Just want to be , Right by your side,
Right by your side

Give you my lovin',
Seven days a week
I'll be a honey,
If you'll be sweet
I know I'm the only one for you
I know that you think this is not true
Man says it's rainin', Rainin' outside
I'll be out there in a little while,
Cause you see Rain reminds me of you,
And everything has turned to you
See you in places,
I'm following you
You'll be upstairs,
And I'll be there too
Everywhere you go I will follow
I know it won't be the same tomorrow
People give me warnings,
Stay away from you
They say you'll hurt me,
I don't think that's true
Discomfort arouses when I speak of you
As if you've been sayin' something bad
About me
When I see you,
I want to kiss you
But I know that ain't right
So I ask if I can hold you
Oh babe I need you so bad
Oh babe I only want to make you
Glad

She's my baby, She belongs to me
But yesterday she walked home all alone
Everybody else, looks at my baby
Then they wandered over to me
But baby's feelin' bad today
She said she's thinking of goin' away
Oh baby I'm cryin', And my body's flyin'
But I remember you
She's my baby, Ain't that something
But I know she belongs to you
Yesterday was another day, when I,
Saw your baby, walkin' home alone,
I'm feelin' sorry
I called you but I
I guess that I forgot your name
Baby's feelin' bad today
She said she's thinkin' of goin' away
But she's just like lightning
She goes right through you
Then you know you'll never
Be the same
Now everybody looks
All around the corner
Just to see your baby
Walkin' home

She's my baby
Ain't that something
But I know that she belongs to you
She belongs to you

After I stuck my
Hands into your ground
And pulled out
Somebody else's son
I felt a little unfortunate
A little mistaken
I felt like I'd been wasted
All day long
All day long
After I bent myself to my knees
And raised my hands up
Right above my head
I felt a little, little
A little bright patch
I felt like I'd been wasted
All day long
All day long
After I took my eyes
From the west
And brought myself back
To my place
I felt a little light for awhile
A little light stone
I felt like I'd been wasted
All day long
All day long

This is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And while I'm playing for you
It could be raining there too

This is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And while I'm playing for you
It could be raining there too

And on my easel I drew
While I was thinking of you
And on the roof of my head
In came my five string serenade

His is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And while I'm playing for you
It might be raining there too

And on my easel I drew
While I was thinking of you
And on the roof of my head
In came my five string serenade

This is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And though I'm playing for you
It might be raining there too
This is my five string serenade

Well I think I see another side
Maybe just another light that shines
And I look over now through the door
And I still belong to no one else
Maybe I hold you to blame for all the reasons that you left.
And close my eyes 'till I see your surprise
And you're leaving before my time.
Baby won't you change your mind?
Surely don't stay long I'm missing you now.
It's like I told you I'm over you somehow
Before I close the door
I need to hear you say goodbye.
Baby won't you change your mind?
I guess that hasn't changed someone
Maybe nobody else could understand
I guess that you believe you are a woman
And that I am someone else's man
But just before I see that you leave
I want you to hold on to things that you said
Baby I wish I were dead.
Surely don't stay long I'm missing you now.
It's like I told you I'm over you somehow
Before I close the door
I need to hear you say goodbye
Baby won't you change your mind?

Waitin' for a sign from you,
Waitin' for a signal to change
Have you forgotten what your love can do?
Is this the end?
Walkin' through the city
Your boots are high-heeled and are shinin' bright
The sun was sparklin' on the shaft of your knife
Flower in the morning rain,
Dying in my hand
Was it all in vain?,
Superstar in your own private movie
I wanted just a minor part,
But I'm no fool
I know you're cool,
I never really wanted your heart
Your feet rough heat
Nothing seems to bring you down
It's not that cool when I'm around
Flower in the morning rain
Dying in my hand
Was it all in vain?
Superstar in your own bright movie
I wanted just a minor part
But I'm no fool
I know you're cool
I never really wanted your heart

There's a blue light, In my best friend's room
There's a blue light, In his eyes
There's a blue light, yeah,
I want to see it, shine

There's a ship, that sails by my window
There's a ship that sails on by,
There's a world under it
I think I see it,
Sailing away

I think it's sailing,
Miles crashing me by
Crashing me by,
Crashing me by

There's a world ,
Outside my doorstep
Flames over, everyone's heart
Don't you see them shining,
I want to hear them
Beating for me

I think I hear them
Waves crashing me by,
Crashing me by,
Crashing me by

I'm sailin' sailin',
Place I've never seen
That's way down south,
Sweet 'ol New Orleans
'Cause my hometown friend treat me awful mean
If I could holler, Yeah holler
If I could scream and cry,
It hurts me so
When I look up in the sky,
'Cause my friends turn their heads,
As they pass me by
Now it's rainin', It's rainin'
The wind's blowin' cold,
Lord I thought I heard
My train whistle blow,
Now I'm gonna sail so far
'Till I won't be back no more
Pardon me, pardon me,
It's so hard to stand
I ain't got no money,
Uncle Sam has called my name
Now there's not a soul,
To give me a helpin' hand
