Strangeways

Will we ever find our way back from strangeways?

When we passed our fingers through the candle flame

And no one cared and there was no one to blame

And the light at the end of the tunnel was the gravy train

That we rode again and again

Waving goodbye to lovers we left behind

Ocean Snow

A sea of snow rolls across the bay

The day I fell in

That we now we remember from apartment living rooms

Painted cold white

Powerlessplay

We rose from ashes forgotten by the fire

We fell from stars that belong in the sky

Once we were real

Swimming in the river every day until the end of summer

Now just memories that burn as deep as they fade

Into the last glimpse of sunset

Beneath Lower Skies

Touch the fading summer
Under burning skylight wonder
Where shadows once cast

Taste the falling rain bed
Beyond our broken homestead
Forgotten by the past

Every day we wander alone in this smaller wilderness

Growing older beneath these lower skies

Dont Fear the Silence

Every time we walk into the darkness
Every time we fall into the fire
I hear you calling without a sound

Don't fear the silence

Tonight we'll sing the songs that disappear.

When we wake from dreams of sorrow.

Fading Roots

Canadian summers fade into autumn.

The roots that held up the river bank where we would sit together have grown weak.

Childhood promises are the first to be broken.

The last to be forgotten.

Emotional Stars

The sky falls from dying stars that burnt through skin.

And flicker deep within our hearts.

Northern lights lead the way to somewhere.

Your silhouette slowly disappearing on the horizon.

By tomorrow the snow will have covered your tracks.
