Old Bones (free) 03:03
lyrics
download
Oh, these old bones give way To the silent seas they go Line the hulls of silver boats and Gilmer past the rocky shore To a place where they can tap the edges Crack the panes of old glass Reassemble themselves And stay that way forever Oh, she licked the ancient valleys Raked her fingers through the beaches Let her hair flow through the mountains Curled her toes on the ocean floor Though sheʼd left her earthly body Its decay was no great matter For her old bones were no longer Who she was before Oh, these old bones give way To the silent seas they go Line the hulls of silver boats Way down past the rocky shore To a place where they can tap the edges Crack the panes of old glass Reassemble themselves in whole again And stay that way forever

This Love (free) 03:47
lyrics
download
I held my breath when I saw you look at me I crossed my heart you were the only one I’d see Now hold me close and walk into the storm The frost won’t keep me from you This love will keep us warm Oh it was written in the fallen autumn leaves The future held a promise, hope and certainty A cold wind blew and tried it’s best to warn The frost won’t keep me from you This love will keep us warm A cold wind blew and tried it’s best to warn The frost won’t keep me from you This love will keep us warm Oh this love, this love, this love what a soft and happy thing I think, we will, go out through days of aching If there, could be, a light through the end of frozen things I think, we will, hold out through days of aching I held my breath when I saw you look at me I crossed my heart you were the only one I’d see Now hold me close and walk into the storm The frost won’t keep me from you This love will keep us warm Oh hold me close and walk into the storm This love, this love, this love This love will keep me warm

The Flood (free) 05:04
lyrics
download
Take my hand and walk into the flood The water takes hold and slowly permeates the blood within you Once alone I walked upon this shore and held you The days grew short and slipped away before I asked you If you would stay How could you know If I could only offer something more… a comfort And brightness in the things we knew before Like water Oh, take my hand and walk along the shore The water reflects the many things we knew before in silver And we would stay And we would know Because our minds Had made it so So, take my hand and walk into the flood The water takes hold and slowly permeates the blood within you And when the heat of it all was so stifling And we could not stand up from the great weight of it And when the heat of it all was so stifling And we could not stand up from the great weight of it

Backbone (free) 03:23
lyrics
download
I cannot face the weather But deep are your stormy eyes I know it’s coming for me On through the night It comes on like a poison It sweeps in like the sea It floats down like a feather On through me Hold on my friend, did I catch you alone Will this turn you to stone Are you all backbone Hold on they said, when there’s no one to blame There’s just trying to save you so be sure On you I don’t know what to bring with me I don’t know what to see I cannot face the day Coming for me Hold on my friend Did I catch you alone Will this turn you to stone Are you all backbone
