now i close my eyes where winter hides
and wind sweeps the plains while seasons change
but this spring ain't gonna bring
no this spring ain't gonna bring anything but rain
so now here i stay, so far away
and they should have warned me of the storm
cause these trees are breathin deep
and this breeze is leavin me anything but warm
now i don't expect, cause they've all left
and my heart is gold, and my heart is cold
so i stay the same while seasons change
and this spring ain't gonna bring
no this spring ain't gonna bring anything but rain

well it was raining
raining all the time
coming down inside
the day you
well i heard my name
in the bagpipes
and blue was the sky
the day you died
and together now
you lie in the ground
the love is all around
i hear it in the smallest
sounds the ghosts have sang around your grave
and i know it seemed to take a life time, but you're saved
finally you're saved
well it's been raining
raining all this time
coming down inside
ever since you
well i saw the love
ya i saw it rise
and it split the sky
the day you died

the winter's rolling in but i'm not scared anymore
old wooden ships and cannon balls are washed up on the shore
i knew nothing before
i left my heart in a grave in my backyard
my life has just begun and i miss everything so far
bury me with my mother so we can float to the same star
i left my heart in a grave in my back yard
and if i die in the rainy spring don't hesitate to sing for me
if i die in the rainy spring, bury me with my family
and if i die in the summer time down by the tracks and electric fence
if i die in the summer time, please bury me with all of my old friends
and if i die in the pretty fall the sweet nostalgic fall
let the crisp wind sweep my ashes up cause it's my favorite time of all
and if i die on a winter day while snow falls on the earth
i'll be so sad, won't give a shit, just throw me in the dirt
and if i ever really die, if i live to make it that far
please bury me with my old friend in my childhood back yard

The King and Queen

smile to see her there with a sense of life
me i don't know, my eyes glow but i got no wrong from right
the king was so bold, turned his girl to gold
and one night in the moonlight he gave his girl a kiss and left for paradise
and she said take me with you, take me with you im still here
take me with you im still here
and i gloat to hear them scream the golden girl is still our queen
and as i, as i look down, the royal sun blinks off her crown as she says
take me with you, take me with you im still here
take me with you i'm still here
ya some days when time goes by seems like shes dreaming about the sky
but i'm up so high, i hope she can see me i hope she can miss me my queen
one day you'll fly and you'll say
take me with you, take me with you im still here
take me with you i'm still here

it is coming in
and it's breaking like the waves that wash down from the city of our deepest sins
we were not alone
inside the carnivals and graveyards that i'd like to some day call my home
fall asleep with me
under the oldest tree in all the golden leaves in this town beside the sea
you are coming in
and you're breaking like the waves that wash down from the city of our deepest sins
we are not alone
inside the carnivals and graveyards that i'd like to some day call my home
fall asleep with me
inside the oldest streets in all the golden leaves that rain down from the trees into our dreams
and fall asleep with me
inside the oldest street in this town beside the sea
