Driftwood Fire

The sun is going down, and it's just you and me
Let's go down to the edge of the sea
Let's go down to the edge of the sea
There's driftwood all around, we'll grab a handful or two
Let's make a fire and watch it burn all night through
Let's make a fire and watch it burn all night through
'Cause I don't know when I'll see the West again
And I don't know when I'll feel at rest again
So lay your head on my shoulder while
we light one more driftwood fire
The moon is spilling out across the ocean waves
There's things on our minds that we're both scared to say
Are we holding on the something that we know just can't stay?
But our love is not these flames, and our love is not these coals
And it's nothing like the sparks that rise and flicker in the cold
Our love is like the waves; they go out with the tide
Our love is like the waves; they come back every time
And I don't know when I'll see the West again
And I don't know when I'll feel at rest again
So lay your head on my shoulder while
we light one more driftwood fire
Soon we'll turn the coals in the sand
We'll wipe the ashes from our clothes, and then I'll take your hand
There's a house on Storrie Road where we can stay
And a satellite blinks in the night as we walk away...
And I don't know when I'll see the West again
And I don't know when I'll feel at rest again
So lay your head on my shoulder while
we light one more driftwood fire

Snow Falling On Union
04:03
|

Snow's falling on union, and the trains are all standing still
And my eyes are drinking this moment, but my heart's racing over the hill
And I'm trying to reach you, where the lakes are all frozen and blue
But until the wheels start to turning, I'll still be burning to be with you
So if you can hold on, I won't be long
I'm running to fall to your floor
And if you keep your light on when the sun goes out
You're gonna find me at your door
Do you remember the night that I tried to turn you away?
Afraid that being a part of you meant losing a part of me,
But now I don't care, I'd give up all that I am
I'll bend the rails til they point straight to you, and I'll be there as soon as I can
So if you can hold on, I won't be long
I'm running to fall to your floor
And if you keep your light on when the sun goes out
You're gonna find me at your door
You're gonna find me

Things You Leave Behind
04:34

Some coins on the dresser, a shoe by the door;
A note on the counter says you're not coming home.
That's all you left for me; the only things you left behind.
In your home they told you how you were scarred,
They said they'd love you, but not the way you are.
Why are you going back? That place you had to leave behind...
And oh, now the night's so long without you Oh, and the days go on without you
But sometimes, I just forget why.
They sent you to practices, you ran away.
You made for the city, and I made you feel safe.
I held you while we cried all night; so glad you made it out alive
We rented a corner loft, downtown by the park.
We never had to hide, and you let down your guard. But there were ghosts that whispered in your mind; Some things you never leave behind...
And oh, now the night's so long without you Oh, and the days go on without you
But sometimes, I just forget why.
And I wouldn't mind if you found someone new; But you can't believe that they were right about you,
And oh, now the night's so long without you Oh, and the days go on without you
But sometimes, I just forget why.
