]]> First, let me say
Nothing is over
I don't believe in too late

Not giddy love
Or one-time redemption
We need a long steady change

Come follow me
Pretend that it's easy
Pretend we're the free and the brave

We still have time
And room for invention
Plenty of soul left to save

Let's make room for quiet
And try to rephrase
Hang sheets on the line
Hang words on a page

When it's dawn
And the glory waves
And we've finally taken all the things we craved
We can't resurrect everything that died on the way
That died on the way

Once upon a time
New worlds came easy
Thrones grew on nutmeg and tea

We stage the play
With oil rigs and diamonds
With merchants and tyrants and me

]]> Last night we fell asleep
With the curve of your palm
On the curve of my head,
Fingers tangled in curls
Like tree moss.

An end-of-day ceremony —
Your right hand leading me
By the head like a child
Through the slow hours
And the thin light
Toward rest.

Draped in feline straddle
Over my chest
With her eyes closed
And one small moccasin ear
Pressed on my heart.

]]> I have a child
Draped in feline straddle
Over my chest
With her eyes closed
And one small moccasin ear
Pressed on my heart.

Dawn is close
And I know I should sleep,
But the weight of her
Riding on my breath
Is almost better.

This is a secret
Mothers must keep for themselves:
The pleasure of a child-blanket
That covers you with stars
And with waves of unbearable contentment.

]]> Lately, there's nothing by the waiting
Imagining that maybe
You will save me

I've wasted a lot of days and daydreams
Imagining that maybe
You will save me

I don't need a perfect love
A real hello would be enough
A girl can't live by fairytale alone

The shelf life of this fantasy
Was short and so unsatisfying
It's over now, it's time to say hello

 I know we're ordinary scared souls
Living in the shadow
Of what could be

So hello to all the future might hold
Hello to heartache and hope
Hello to you and me

I don't need a perfect love
A real hello would be enough
A girl can't live by fairytale alone

The shelf life of this fantasy
Was short and so unsatisfying
It's over now, it's time to say hello

 Are you waiting for angels and stars to tell you what you've found
If you stay there much longer, baby, our feet will never leave the ground
Let's trade in our safety for new worlds and come what may
Do you trust me a little bit, babe?

]]> You make yourself at home
Win and spend your friends
You're pretty and it's easy to believe
Your heartache is too loud
Or you're just a travelin' soul
Your ghosts and music keep you company

As you la dee da dee dum
You la dee da dee dum
Cause love is too hard so you're looking now for fun
You set this bridge on fire
And you couldn't take the fall
You act like a boy who has nothing at all
Nothing at all

Once I read your mind
Felt the world the same
But now I see you jump from train to train
The choices that you make
Are making less of you
The more you run the more you seem to fade

As you la dee da dee dum
You la dee da dee dum
Cause love is too hard so you're looking now for fun
You set this bridge on fire
And you couldn't take the fall
You act like a boy who has nothing at all
Nothing at all

The last time, the last time I play your gypsy game
If you channel Peter Fonda
You'll wake up tired and crazy

As you la dee da dee dum
You la dee da dee dum
Cause love is too hard so you're looking now for fun
You set this bridge on fire
And you couldn't take the fall
You act like a boy who has nothing at all
Nothing at all

]]> It sounds untrue, I love you the same
While everything is different, nothing has changed
You still make the weather, unhitch me like a train
Your hands are transcendent, they grow me like rain
They grow me like rain

So this is the line, the moment I know, the part where I say it
I want you
So let the sky fall, let it come down, down, down around me
I want you

I've measured us, with ruler and thread
Strung together moments and sweet things we said
The truth is more organic, sweeping and mundane
Music more than science, I love you the same
I love you the same

So this is the line, the moment I know, the part where I say it
I want you So let the sky fall, let it come down, down, down around me
I want you

It comes as no surprise, I wear my heart, I wear my heart around
But so you won't forget, I wrote it down, I wrote it down

]]> Today I feel like I am human
You have the swept the deepest corners of me
And I suspect my life was written for this moment
For this unearthly joy

It's a sweet, sweet melody, my finest hour chasing me
And I have no better place to go
And the brightest lines are nothing more than just your hand in mine
That keeps me coming, keeps me coming home

 Beneath the current of our moments
There is something of you singing in the swells
And I have heard my innocence growing in it
You have flung me open and unfurled me like a sail

]]> Jesus loves me and if there's one thing I can know for sure, it’s this
He gave up glory and suffered for me
No other love compares to His

Selfless love of the greatest kind
Broken Man, broken heart divine
Choosing scorn from a world deceived
Choosing scars and poverty
What great joy saw beyond such pain?
What great love could endure the shame?
Tell me how I should understand
A sovereign God choosing nail-scarred hands?

Jesus loves me and if there’s one thing
I can know for sure, it’s this
He gave up glory and suffered for me
No other love compares to His

A Father’s love for a foolish son
A Shepherd’s quest for the wayward one
A Merchant’s pearl bought with everything
With Your life You have purchased me
What great joy saw beyond such loss?
What great love could embrace a cross?
I find Your ways are unsearchable
And Your grace irresistible

Jesus loves me and if there’s one thing
I can know for sure, it’s this
He gave up glory and suffered for me
No other love compares to His

]]> We sing for the Father, great King of all worlds
In rich wisdom has made Himself known
Who laid earth’s foundation, brings low every power
For His name sake preserves yet His own
We hail our God on His throne

We sing hail, hail, Our God in mystery once veiled
Now we have seen His glory
Holy God, for sinners come His fullness bourne in the Son
We hail the Lamb unflawed.
We hail the love of our God

 We sing for the Son, we the Adam of earth
For the great second Adam of God
We sing for the flesh and the wrath that He chose
Chose for us made of breath, made of sod.
We hail the gift of our God

We sing hail, hail, Our God in mystery once veiled
Now we have seen His glory
Holy God, for sinners come His fullness bourne in the Son
We hail the Lamb unflawed.
We hail the love of our God

 We sing for the Spirit of comfort and power
Who makes lovely a bride for the Son
To eternal redemption has sealed the hearts of men
We sing praise for the holy Three in One

]]> Go on home
Leave my eggshell heart alone
Go find magic and beauty in the world on your own
Go on home
Go home

It's a strange kind of morning
After the storm
Silence comes moving into town
Are you waiting for laughter
Do you know what you're after? Do you know why you keep coming around
It's different now, feels different now

Go on home
Leave my eggshell heart alone
Go find magic and beauty in the world on your own
Go on home
Go home

Did you leave me any corners?
Any second-story stores?
Any sidewalk where your shadow hasn't been?
Every park bench is a poem
And every market is a dream
And the street names are familiar as your friends
You're walking out, and you're walking in

Go on home
Leave my eggshell heart alone
Go find magic and beauty in the world on your own
Go on home
Go home

]]> Bright waters, dressed for the afternoon
And I am not opposed to taking a swim
I am headed north and I was made for this
Climbing high enough to see where the world ends

Wild, sweet orange
Wild running after the sky
Why take forever
When the grasses grow tall here and the mountains grow high
You know that you could catch me if you tried.

 It's wide country, with miles and miles of blue
And every tree the loveliest trees I have seen
I won't be hard to find up o'er these vales and hills
Following the daffodils following me
Wild, sweet orange
Wild running after the sky
Why take forever
When the grasses grow tall here and the mountains grow high
You know that you could catch me if you tried.

 It's not that hard to ask one more question
I'm not that far away
And I think if you are, if are looking for perfection
You might just head this way

Wild, sweet orange
Wild running after the sky
Why take forever
When the grasses grow tall here and the mountains grow high
You know that you could catch me if you tried.

Though we weep on bitter days
In glory come all grief will fade
And so we sing while still we roam
We sing that this is not our home
We sing that this is not our home

Weary, sore of wandering so
Burdened and unsatisfied
We long for rest and Christ our home
To feast with Him on Canaan side
To feast with Him on Canaan side

Strangers in a foreign land
It’s all that we have ever known
And so we sing while still we roam
We sing that this is not our home

Wounded for our transgression

]]> Holy is the Lord, seated on His throne
The God of glory thunders
His justice has no flaw, his wrath a stunning fire
The heavens hail His splendor
But we are simple flesh, and frail
Powerless to stand
Like morning mist erased by noon
The labor of our hands

We are broken, lost
Desperate for Your grace
Staggered by Your glory
Til we look on the cross
And find You in our place
We find Your love is boundless
Your mercy boundless, free

A heavy shadow falls from Sinai mount of old
We hear the dark clouds rumble
And trembling from afar, the law upon our backs
We struggle and we stumble
We’re shamed by our unfaithfulness
And having none to blame
We see the good we cannot do
And work for it in vain

We are broken, lost
Desperate for Your grace
Staggered by Your glory
Til we look on the cross
And find You in our place
We find Your love is boundless
Your mercy boundless, free

All we could not do, our Great High Priest has done
In death and resurrection
All the law demands, full satisfied
By Christ in His perfection
And though our sin did once abound
You grace abounded more
You gave to us Your righteousness
And called our sorrow Yours We are broken, lost
Desperate for Your grace
Staggered by Your glory
Til we look on the cross
And find You in our place
We find Your love is boundless
Your mercy boundless, free

]]> Eyes big as full moons
And morning in June blue
She carries her spring time inside
She sees the world on tiptoes, she like to paint it yellow
She like the doors and windows to be wide open

And every day is perfect in her mind
Everything is funny and untried
When she holds me close, my heart is so exposed
And when she's in my arms, she's satisfied
And when she smiles, the sky breaks open wide

Her laughter has gravity
Some kind of magic
It echoes like God in my ears
Her words move in orbit
She thinks they're important
She knows that the world wants to hear them

And every day is perfect in her mind
Everything is funny and untried
When she holds me close, my heart is so exposed
And when she's in my arms, she's satisfied
And when she smiles, the sky breaks open wide

Little girl, don't wander very far
On rainy days and nights without stars
Know in your heart, you were made for this part
And you are loved for just who you are.

Your tangled streets and stories
A mythic home for gods and common lives

You're a monumental, sometimes magic, world they call a town
An old romance I can't forget, you haunt me even now

Vintage strings of streetlights
A great parade of foreign smiles
Your peeling, painted lady
Rooftops weaving down for miles and miles

You're a monumental, sometimes magic, world they call a town
An old romance I can't forget, you haunt me even now

There's a wall by the shore where the white waters roar that's calling
And the sand dollars land like a message in the sand ma kara li?
And if the spray on your rocks and your dark sandy thoughts never swayed me,
Then the smell of a life that I left, that I loved, makes me crazy

Blinding bright, summer light, waking brilliantine

You put your hand in mine

it's human and divine

Here we are, fireflies and a star
Upside down, lost and found, innocence unbound

And it's lovely around me
it's human and divine

And dreams like these aren't lullabied to sleep
It's the hardest thing to not let hope grow wild inside my head
And balance is an awful thing to keep

I have to say it's all your fault I'm crazy in a daze
I'm climbing from the bottom, I am swallowing the waves
You shouldn't be so wonderful
You shouldn't wait so long
I'm hanging on this chance I can't go backwards, can't go anywhere

You woke up the monsters I had hidden 'neath my bed
And dreams like these aren't lullabied to sleep
It's the hardest thing to not let hope grow wild inside my head
And balance is an awful thing to keep

You've been dropping seeds and now my backyard looks like spring
Lucky you, the world's in bloom and you haven't done a thing
How dare you be so perfect in that sweet imperfect way
Been waiting now for weeks to tell you all about my day

You woke up the monsters I had hidden 'neath my bed
And dreams like these aren't lullabied to sleep
It's the hardest thing to not let hope grow wild inside my head
And balance is an awful thing to keep

Rushing me
Wash my naked feet
Carry me
Flawlessly
Past the sun into your salty dreams
Curling toward the light like an endless home
Falling on the light where you find it Hungry, stormy nights faded [...]

]]> Folding sea
Rushing me
Wash my naked feet
Carry me
Flawlessly
Past the sun into your salty dreams
Curling toward the light like an endless home
Falling on the light where you find it Hungry, stormy nights faded by the dawn
Falling on the light
Falling on the light Winter, spring
And stranger things
Thunder like a storm cloud blossoming
Bittersweet, foreshadowing
Pregnant like a silent, summer breeze

Curling toward the light like an endless home
Falling on the light where you find it Hungry, stormy nights faded by the dawn
Falling on the light
Falling on the light Arc of green dissolving into sky
Circling in and out like waves of time
Carving in the deepest earth, your own mythology
And sweeping just the pieces back to me
