gonna get normal get into a routine but my mind keeps fighting back somebody please get me out of my house i’ve tried everything but that all these mornings disappear like cars in dust on a dirt road sometimes the distance is too much while everything in the world feels too close all these sunny days the warmth that comes with them i like the promise winter brings someplace far away storms are being born the danger gives no reason to leave all these mornings disappear like cars in dust on a dirt road sometimes the distance is too much while everything in the world feels too close
50.	under the fading sun (50) 03:00	lyrics	buy track
stepping so clumsily, i’m finding a path today’s the day i’m taking it back everyone’s panicking and ready for collapse i’m with you, we don’t worry about that i’ve read these tired stories again and again paying attention and attention spends i’ll believe what i see, a little more, a little less wanna see this place with you and give the world some goodness the white-out’s coming, they said so on the news beat your neighbors to the store and buy some food make do with what i have and tell you what i’ve done we’ll keep each other company under the fading sun a hundred years for a moment of your time i’ll wait on this hill and watch the stars go by i’ve seen it all, the sunlight on your face i’ve seen the goodness and hope for this place
51.	the almost morning light (51) 04:34	lyrics	buy track
in the quietest moment i’m listening for you in the almost morning light i’m listening for you snow and ice are melting dripping into the gutters brightness noise returning today moves like the others stare up at the old trees, they’ll surely outlast me these houses creak and shift, they’ll surely outlast me saved a baby bird saved it from a dog bite ran from a fisher cat its scream tore through the night in the quietest moment it all comes rushing in in the almost morning light it all comes rushing in i want to see what you saw in those final moments 150 million miles away you disappeared in the silence in the quietest moment i’m listening for you in the almost morning light i’m listening for you
52.	while we're waiting (52) 03:13	lyrics	buy track
i can’t sleep until these thoughts leave my head trying to work it all out, tossing, turning in my bed i try to keep my eyes closed but the light of the moon, it knows the speed of it all is so much i try to get bored, it’s not enough i’ve seen you, lifetimes pass it’s endless, it’s finite, it is what we have the coldest night of the year i feel so alive even if it hurts but while we’re waiting this will change and the light of the moon shows the way
