Strivers row
03:48
|

A full moon is over harlem
i'm strolling down strivers row and i
i want to be a part of
but i'm far from home
i'm waiting for your world to let me in
i wanna be, be where you've been
i'm waiting for a light to show me when......
when we can begin
well i just want to know
i'm a long way from home
i saw you pour your heart out
i watched you for a while, you stood up
and you went to live out your motto
and i'll live out mine

Arrows and bow
03:11
|

across the fields and into the valley
these days are long and the light is strong
we weren't to know
how friends would come and go
you bring the arrows and i'll bring the bow
who would have thought this was our feeling
you pay attention or you pay the price
one move too slow
can take all you'll ever know
i know your leaving but i have to go
we can make it back
there's still enough time
just follow the son and we'll be fine
and resting by the fire
we'll focus on the flame
and talk about it all
and how close
we came
across the fields and into the valley
these days are long and the light is strong
we weren't to know
how friend can turn to foe
you bring the ice and i'll bring the snow

Purple and Chrome

i know it's the same but i know that i've changed, so it looks a little off to me
and it's so far down, you forget what the ground has to say when you're falling free
and there's so much left, that i want to say, but who's listening anyway?
when you miss your turn
let those loose ends burn
let em blow away
look at the stone, purple and chrome, for as far as the eye can see
they'll outlast us all as we stumble and fall, into our lives last degree
and the mountains can tell, all our tears of regret, as our eyes they finally see
that it's not what you want
but more what you need
that'll bring you back to me
some people got born, some people got torn and some people went far away
it was only for a time, now far further down the line, with all our fading memory
but if i was back there, i know and i swear, that i'd tell you about all these dreams
but the truth will out
without favour, without doubt
and in the end we will see
it's a barren land, it's a calling to stand and it's a place to hide away
where you can be, close to the sea but it's still a life away
but i've been there, and i'm aware, and i know that it'll always be
cuz i'm the kind
who made up his mind
as the only way to see
yeah i'm the kind, who made up his mind
as the only way to be

Down the mine
06:53
|
|||
|
we were out of time, we got mapped along different lines
i sat outside your walls and i wondered, what lay inside
and i know that somewhere
on the other side
there's an ocean full of secrets
and mystery on the tide
and i know that somewhere buried deep
there's gold for us to find
as our worlds unwind, we get to really see inside
and as the days turn into wine, we take our turns down the mine
but when we get out, the sun's still waiting there
and the evening brings a warmth for us to share
and the golden glow on the hills
makes us even more aware
and you can turn around and you can say that it could never be
you can turn around and say, not for you and me
if you live your life inland you can't live another by the sea
cuz in the end you'll never know
where you're supposed to be
and as we make our way the fading light leads us astray
we stumble over stones sometimes i can't tell night from day
but there's a light on the horizon and it bleeds across the sky
and it shows the way
again we can see why
all of this is what makes it true
the rest is just a lie
