- A Little Opera Goes A Long Way
I'll save you
An echo from the hall
And I'll paint you
A dreamscape on your bedroom wall
Pretend you're not alone
Like you are center stage on broadway
'Cause when you're on your own
- Alaska
I was on the road
Despite the holiday
The wintergreen daydream softly collided
And took all my headaches away
[Chorus:]
When did I arrive
I don't recall ever leaving alaska
- Blue and Red
Oh satelite above
[Where are you?]
So many things I have to tell you of
[Please come back soon]
You went through an open door
Or a hole in the floor
You vanished and I can't see you anymore
- Brielle
There's a handwritten note pressed in the door of her screened in porch
And I am sailing away recalling that day miles from shore
She was still wearing white and robins egg blue, Her grandmother's dress
When I left home early this year, how I wound up here is anyone's guess
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold I'll sail home again
Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
- Captains of the Sky
Mid air
I woke up beneath the flight deck
On the wall paper airplane
As you stare
- Explorers
This old mountain side
Where we used to reside
Is slowly recalling
The things we discovered inside
Oh the crystal caves
We shed both our jackets
- Flowers of the Field
The darkness, the coal mines knew it best
When the daylight headed west and disappeared
Progression, on the morning goes
But regardless no one knows the day has cleared
Oh we are blind
I'll be the flowers of the field that slowly bloom
While you are soundly sleeping on the ground
- I Live Alone
I was 22, alone with nothing to do and I couldn't sleep
'Cause all those cold days returned with their old ways of causing
New apathy
I live alone, I live alone
She was 21, wishing she lived by the sun, the sand and the sea
So I suggested she'd move out fast and not be the last
- Sailboats
Sailboats wish that they were stars,
Floating softly in the sky,
Among our dreams that bid goodbye,
Moving thru transparent space,
Drifting thru the stratosphere,
And onwards 'til they disappear,
These continents from overhead,
- Steady As She Goes
Farewell nightmares I am free
Welcome streams of sweet dreams
That settles over me
What lies out there?
No one knows
The tide could bring in anything
So steady as she goes
- Take Me Somewhere Nice
Take me somewhere nice
To some tired island
In your heart called
Paradise
Though we wander home
We both feel alone
Like escapees with nowhere to go
- Tennis Elbow
Ohh
Cell phones and travel stations
Ringtones and new relations
Say hello to all your friends for me
Several calls are made to Thailand
Wound up in Prince Edward Island
And my head feels like it's ready to blow
