Your face is like the sun
Sinking in to the the ocean
Your face is like watching flowers
Growing in fast motion
All your kisses are swallowed
Brightened mornings and hollows
My vines and tree knots will come unwound
Baby you are my sunshine
My sunshine
Please don't take my sunshine away
The grounded fireflies are little stars that are dying
Returning to the earth I can hear the crying
Like Christmas bulbs that I swallowed
Slept in a tree that's gone hollow
And never a brittle winter time
Baby you are my sunshine
My sunshine
Please don't take my sunshine away
Sunshine
My sunshine
Please don't take my sunshine away

Set your woods on fire
Hide up in the spires
The flames kept dancing higher
They're playing our song
They're playing our song
They're getting it wrong
Ophelia in the creek
Caught up in the sticks
Some things can't be fixed
They're playing our song
They're playing our song
They're playing our song

I could look in your face
For a thousand years
It's like a civil war
Of pain and of cheer
But if you was a horse
I could help you with your chains
I could ride you through the fields
By your fiery mane
May your shade be sweet
And float upon the lakes
Where the sun will be
Made of honey
I'll cry diamonds while you burn
'Cause no one here can save you
She's returning to the earth
But one day she'll be silver
Stars are dying in my chest
Until I see you again
She was born with the wings of a hawk
Now she combs her hair with blood
May your shade be sweet
And float upon the lakes
Where the sun will be
Made of honey
May your shade be sweet
And float upon the lakes
Another sun could be
Made of honey
May your shade be sweet
May your shade be sweet
And float upon the lakes
May your shade be sweet

Away with golden crows
I know their souls are old
The waves and the thunder's prose
Within her belly glows
Where the sleeping old bears breathe
I can't see the light for the trees
I stayed in a lake of fire
My bed was an ancient pyre
The stars a fell into the sea
I can't see the light for the trees
For the trees...

Arise oh brother mountain
Our hooves hammering your coils
The rivers carve out your hollows
With tears from me
Return to me
Return to me my love
Oh my love
Be still oh rusting river
Unlock her name from your grass
Unburden the pressures of fathoms
Of tears from me
Return to me
Return to me my love
O my love
O my love
Return to the clouds
Return in the caves
Return over valleys
O my love
O my love
O my love

Fire on the brain
Crooked memory craned
Lunar pulling stone
Stardust in my bones
Like we were never born
Like ghosts out in the corn
And the rain curtains raised
Things that don't have names
Caroline, caroline
Caroline, caroline
And all my food was tears
And so with us old years
Like a dancer with a bad heart
Pray it never starts
Caroline, caroline
Caroline, caroline
Caroline, caroline
Caroline, caroline

You are you are my daisy
You're my lullaby
Come sun up my dogs will fade to
Honeysuckle and clear moonshine
She was she was my black earth
And the fire in my spine
Her magnetic waves gave birth
I was the one who loved you most
But you can't put your arms around a ghost
Some sweet day you will be mine, you'll be mine
Some sweet day you will be mine, you'll be mine
We can we can go home soon
O'er the cold old sea
Her lover is in the old moon
Oh to kiss her knobbly knees
Know she's laughing underwater
Her pain's gone away
We drank whiskey like our fathers
Born to return back to the clay
My love for you girl will never decay
Some sweet day you will be mine, you'll be mine
Some sweet day you will be mine, you'll be mine
Where did you go, up to the sun?
Where are you now, part of the sea in every drop
Or did you simply stop?
Some sweet day you will be mine, you'll be mine
Some sweet day you will be mine, you'll be mine

Abide with me from the morning 'til the evening
Abide with me when the night is high
Be my last sight and sweet to rest
Forever on your warm decaying breast
See you blind behold your saviour's come
Dance for death you lame in the morning fires
And be a ghost in the sky
A ghost in the sky
Be a ghost in the sky
A ghost in the sky
Grace has purified my blindness
It could be fresh and new and glorious
Will my bleeding ears be rung with joy
Or are they just plain spent and well destroyed
See you blind behold your saviour's come
Dance for death you lame in the morning fires
Be a ghost in the sky
A ghost in the sky
Be a ghost in the sky
A ghost in the sky
Be a ghost in the sky
A ghost in the sky
Be a ghost in the sky
A ghost in the sky
Be a ghost in the sky...

Once I was a big old bear
Reigning blows on sparkly snares
In the woods after the snow
The white noise witch her hammer's cold
Rest beneath the pine and rose
In our suits and Sunday clothes
Cheer up my brother
It's gonna be alright
I know your hearts are heavy as mountains
But we're gonna go back home one day
Hang there little winter star
Tell me who you really are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Born with honey in my hair
Once I was a big old bear
Cheer up my brother
It's gonna be alright
I know your hearts are heavy as mountains
But we're gonna go back home one day
Wore my dress up to my knees
There's ghosts of babies in the streams

In the silver morning hollow
Trembling and getting old
Smelling burnt oil of heaven
About ten years too big to hold
She don't get up when I come into the room
She don't run through the fields anymore
Built a fire in the kitchen
Made her bed by the stove
Took a walk to the graveyard
But she didn't want to go
She don't worry all them murders of crows
Even though they was always out of reach
She don't get up when I come into the room
She don't run through the fields anymore

To wake
Not swallowed by willows
Half eaten by widows
A new day's begun
Smile
'Cause nothing here matters
The spiders get fatter
Explode in the sun
Oh c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
It's not so hard
Oh c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
It's not so hard
It's not so hard
It's not so hard
To trap
The dead dogs of summer
Assaulting your slumber
Stay drunk ever more
Rise
Your jewelry will scatter
On deserts and saturns
The rings are on fire
Oh c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
It's not so hard
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
It's not so hard
Oh c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
It's not so hard
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
It's not so hard
It's not so hard
It's not so hard
It's not so hard

A flock of knives cut the sky
And buried in my black eyes
And the clouds they bled in my head
And autumn rains soaked the dry beds
And the hurricane of her eyes
Willed away the knives
The knives of summertime
Summertime
The knives of summertime
Summertime
The knives of summertime
And I did swallow stained glass tears
Absorbed by the sun for many light years
And the fireflies in her hair
My red concertina's coming down the stairs
And the hurricane of her eyes
Willed away the knives
The knives of summertime
Summertime
The knives of summertime
Summertime
The knives of summertime
