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
