LYRICS + CREDITS

I See Jane  

She is to me like water  
And I need air  

Jane, she sees me, and I see Jane 
And we hear everything  

Come, my love  
Come, my love  
Come, my love, here  

I found my senses beneath me  
Wherever they may be  

Come, my love  
Come, my love  
Come, my love, here  

She is to me like water  
And I need air

 

Sea and Stir  

See the maiden on the breeze  
Oh how she watches me  
Steady onward and sail  
Heaving forward, we bail  

Sun and wind, our tired friends  
Sea and stir, they never heard  
Face the closeness of sea  
Our land is ever-distancing  
Ooh, beaten by and drowning low  
Still onward we go  

Sun and wind our tired friends  
Sea and stir, they never heard  
Soon to meet our heaven sweet  
Land and sky, though soon we die  

Lady across the horizon  
Oh we have found new hope to die in  
Snakes they rattle in the cradle  
But where is the baby now?  

Sun and wind our tired friends  
Sea and stir, they never heard  
Soon to meet our heaven sweet  
Land and sky, though soon we die 

Oooh.. 

  

Blackberry Bramble 

In the blackberry bramble, I fell into you I fell into you, love, and you held me true  
In the blackberry brambles we lay, just us two  
Now you are the love of my heart  

Well our fruit was the sweetest, then poison came  
Poison it came, and we loved all the same  
But in time grew the thorns too wild to entame  
Though you were the love of my heart  

Oh my love, ooh  
My love, ooh  
My love, ooh  

Now the taste, oh it lingers, the vine, it remains  
The vine still remains, my burden, my claim  
I have never known thorns to make me bleed quite the same  
For you were the love of my heart  

Oh my love, ooh  
My love, ooh  
My love, ooh  

Oh, the thorns and the thistle  
How they wait for my whistle  
To take my love from me  
Oh please take, take  

Well, I can’t, I won’t, I never will  
I never will try to make time stand still  
For a flower must bloom and die as it will  
Still, you were the love of my heart  

Oh my love, ooh  
My love, ooh  
My love, ooh 

  

Dark Highways  

Well, at night the streets are mean and seem like  
dark hallways  
dark highways  
dark are my days, honey, when you’re not around  

It ain’t your fault that I can’t see you through  
diner windows  
living room windows  
strangers windows, honey, they just let me down  

And her voice comes in my head and says  
Keep on moving  
You keep moving, honey, you’re never losing any time  
If we can see each other  
through these changes  
and don’t let ‘em rearrange us  
The further we get  
The tighter we bind  

I remember in my kitchen when she  
first told me  
Oh, I know you love me  
So don’t worry ‘bout me, honey, don’t let it get you down  

Oh, if I could reach out across that ol’  
dark highway  
and across dark hallways  
‘cause dark are my days, honey, when you’re not around  

And her voice comes in my head and says  
Keep on moving  
You keep moving, honey, you’re never losing any time 
If we can see each other  
through these changes  
and don’t let ‘em rearrange us  
The further we get  
The tighter we bind  
The tighter we bind  
The tighter we bind  

You know old Walt, he said it best  
We were together  
We were together  
And I forget the rest 

  

How Does a Robin Get Its Wings?  

How does a robin get its wings  
So it can fly over everything?  
Why can’t I be a robin, too?  
Then the sky would connect me and you  

Far from these mountains I’d soar  
O’er valleys so wide, seeing all that I’d adored  
Sink beneath under the shadow of my wings  
Like a thief, I must hide everything  

Ooh  

And how does a robin learn to fly,  
Spreading its wings to the open sky?  
Never setting down for anyone  
Would it cry to finally see the sun?  

Ooh  

Call my heart home to you  
For I’ve tasted the sky and I know how to fly  
Having flown over mountain and tree  
To fly home would be the miracle for me  

So keep on calling me homeward  
Keep on calling me homeward  
Keep on calling me home
