The Solitude

Navy blue,
Your eyes are on my mind
I never viewed
The solitude
As something to avoid until you left
The thoughts i hold
Close to the chest
For the most part I’m unchanged
But there's some things that are terribly strange
Like baby when you’re gone
The night's too quiet
The dinner table
It's one sided
Too many pillows
Too big a bed
Can't decide where to lay my head
There's no denying, i'm trying
Some things will never change
Sometimes the silence can be cruel
I wait alone
Hear the neighbors phone
Your keys are swinging on the rack
We’re hanging here
Til you get back
Moments alone uninterfered
Can be so sweet but it’s awfully weird
When baby, you’re gone
The night's so quiet
The dinner table
It's lopsided
Too many pillows
Too big a bed
Can't decide where to lay my head
There's no denying I’m trying
Some things will never change
And when you’re gone
My minds divided
Every choice left undecided
I tend to linger
I drag my feet
The stillness is bittersweet
Theres no denying I’m trying
Some things will never change
{Break}
A fool, couldn’t ask for more
I lost my cool, it’s so easy to do
But baby when you're gone
The night's so quiet
The dinner table
It's one sided
Too many pillows
Too big a bed
Can't decide where to lay my head
And when you’re gone
My mind's divided
Every choice left undecided
I tend to linger
I drag my feet
The stillness is bittersweet
There's no denying I’m trying
Some things will never change

It Wasn't Me
04:07

I saw him shutting away from the pain
Like some cold scene he stood there in the rain
And when I’m thrown off-board he carries
three soft words
“It wasn’t me
It was the fountains
It was the lights
The moon didn’t help when it shone
Brightly in your eyes
Brightly in your eyes”
And I can deny the truth
But now I’m just racing through
All the red lights
All the red lights
We’ve got nothing
Got nothing to prove
As long as there’s nothing
And there’s nothing
To lose
Our rusted words are not worthy to pawn
The drinks we bury ourselves in ’til dawn
By god, they make is so much easier
To believe
It wasn’t me
It was the fountains
It was the light
The moon didn’t help when it shone
Brightly in your eyes
Brightly in your eyes
And I can deny the clues
But now I’m just racing through
All the red lights
All the red lights
We’ve got nothing
Got nothing to prove
As long as there’s nothing
And there’s nothing
To lose

I Don't Need the Light
05:04

Some days I don’t ever draw the curtains
I don’t mind a dark afternoon
And why should I keep from the hurting
I don’t need the light If I’m not looking at you
Oh I don’t need the light
I don’t need the light
Leave me to the endless night
Moonlight still shines and never a bother
No more than a simmer,
it shimmers the skin of the water
It’s sad but I’m calm and it’s quaint
When a dull pain sets in
Everyone’s talking about hope but it’s faint
Just a sound that you hear yet again
So I don’t need the light
I don’t need the light
Leave me to the endless night

I can’t let my baby be
Tried to turn him to a shape
That would fit well with me
Now my baby’s all alone
Ever since I up and gone
I can’t let my baby be
I can’t let my baby sleep
I wake him in the wee small hours
Of the morning breeze
Or I’d choke up on the tears
Like a faucet without gears
I can’t let my baby sleep
“How do you leave behind a love that hasn’t died?”
He says to me and frowns
And I can’t let my baby down
I can’t let my baby down
Easy
I can’t let my baby drown
If he sinks below the line of sight
I best be bound
To a life in debt
To sadness and regret
I can’t let my baby drown
“How do you leave behind a love that hasn’t died?”
He says to me and frowns
And I can’t let my baby down
I can’t let my baby down
Easy
Where do I go if I got no road ahead
Where do I hide
If I can’t find nothing to stand behind
‘Cause I can’t find nothing to stand behind
I can’t let my baby leave
If he’s gone I won’t go on
Knowing how to believe
That love’s some kind of dancer
If you call it’ll answer
I can’t let my baby leave

This Machine
03:23
|
|

I felt the doubt
20 years from now I’d be walking out
Missing the point all along
And no one would know where to
Point me to
Baby blue
If you knew all the thoughts in my head
You would lose all your own
You would just lose
Nothing, Sticks to, This Machine
Calling, quitting, elated
And I can’t stop it
But I know my head
Used my hands just to keep you in bed
Hoping the warmth was enough
Keeping the gears from the rust
I can’t take much more
My Kentucky is weaker than yours
Tailored with seams so they bust
Breaking the ties between us
Nothing, Sticks to, This Machine
Callng, quitting, elated
And I can’t stop it

The Wave
03:44
|

|
Well of tomorrows
Flow over for you
Not really a well
May as well be the sea
I tease, the leaves of days gone by
But turned and looking to the sky
I try to borrow
I cannot contain
The way I feel for you or anything
I ride the wave
Bells of sorrow
Ring the horizon
Sky blue sky, burning pink
Though the fire is silent
Are you waiting way out there
As all I can do is stare
Out from this island?
I cannot contain
The way I feel for you or anything
I ride the waves
I’d break my bones to swim out
Past the waves
I’d break my heart to see a
Different way

You Never Leave Me
03:58

Sleepers on the bench
Racing in the street
My face is at the glass
Never missing a beat
In the velvet gutter
You can get real low
But you’re the freest kind
Because you know
We’re just here to wander
Don’t have no where to go
The sleepless ocean
The timeless shore
Here before me and when I’m no more
You can’t take you’re gold
When you cross that door
Of a saw tooth coast
To the ocean floor
You’re just here to wander
Don’t have no where to go
And even on other side of the world
You’re right beneath me
You can feel so far but you never are
You never leave me
You never leave me
Sweet and tough
The shore wind blows
The light house light
Like a UFO
Do you see those clouds
They are just like us
They get light and dark
And then dissolve
They’re just here to wander
Don’t have no where to go
And even on other side of the world
You’re right beneath me
You can feel so far but you never are
You never leave me
You never leave me
I can’t sleep sometimes
When I’m on my own
And when you’re here
We stay up till dawn
Your crooked smile
Your crooked lips
I don’t need to sleep
After taking a sip
Those clouds are us
They are always up
They come together
They blow apart
I’m empty now
As I should be
All I need now
Is to feel free
*We’re* just here to wander
Don’t have no where to go
And even on other side of the world
You’re right beneath me
You can feel so far but you never are
You never leave me
And even on other side of the world
You’re right beneath me

To me, fair friend
You could never be old
As you were when your eye I eyed
Is your beauty still 3 winters cold
From the forest shook 3 summer’s pride
3 beautiful springs to autumn turned
In process of the seasons seen
3 April perfumes in hot June burned
Since first you were fresh since yet are green
Those unborn who will never be
Witness to summer’s beauty
Your beauty like a dial hand
From his figure no pace perceived
Your sweet hue I feel still does stand
Moves and my eyes have me deceived
Those unborn who will never be
Witness to summer’s beauty

Forever Everette

Oh how I wish that I could just lie to myself
No cards have been played and no cards have been dealt
Convince myself nothing is here, they’re nothing to fret
‘Cause you leave me out here in the cold, Everette
And if you want
To try me again
I’ll be out my door for a while
Cause I can’t wait, my whole life
I can’t be sure if I’ll ever pay my debt
You can’t be sure what they say behind your back
They say you’re too slow for holding off a bet
And so they call you Forever Everette
And if you want
To try me again
I’ll be out my door for a while
Cause I can’t wait
How do you shoot those arrows off your tongue
Why would you let the hate get in your lungs
Why would you aim at me
Gaming and trading my heart for a bigger defeat
Give it all up for your place at a better seat
You have to protect the side of you that made this bet
But what about the other side of you Everette?
What about the other side of you Everette?

For you, there'll be no more crying
For you, the sun will be shining
And I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
To you, I'll give the world
To you, I'll never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
And the songbirds are singing,
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
And I wish you all the love in the world
But most of all, I wish it from myself
And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before,
Like never before,
Like never before

Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You
by Big Thief
supported by 89 fans who also own “Waysides”
Helps me sleep and also helps me stay awake. When I discovered Big Thief I listened to a lot of their music for a very long time, so it felt right to buy this lovely album. Makes me feel comfort I didn't know existed. Makes me want to scream in all the ways you'd ever scream, lots of emotion.

Always finding albums like this that I wish I discovered years ago. Love, love, love this, from the simple arrangements to the Bond theme and screams of 'I know the end'.

And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow
by Weyes Blood
supported by 84 fans who also own “Waysides”
Gorgeous and moving, this album fills a musical void in my collection that I didn't know existed. With lyrics that speak about the human condition and instrumentals that have a medieval flair, this has become my new musical addiction 😁 Not a single note is wasted here

Ignorance
by The Weather Station
supported by 73 fans who also own “Waysides”
The slow, every-building feeling of quiet menace in "Robber" is deeply unsettling and utterly unforgettable. But every song on this album just *glows*. I can't recommend it highly enough.
