Winter's coming and I know it's just a matter of time now A matter of time Before the new year brings a different light For different eyes, our different eyes And I know I'll recognize it when winter is here It was Autumn I was sleeping late I wasn't ready so I wasn't there In your apartment in the city It didn't seem real So it wasn't real And I've been saving all my time While the others waste their lives And soon I'll start living mine And it's only getting started, only the beginning, oh you know it's on it's way You say that summer isn't far away But I don't believe you, no I don't believe In the seasons anymore and not Not even years, no, not even years 'Cause to me time is just one line that doesn't break Just because the earth is drawn to the sun And there's nothing in the light That divides the days and nights And if it's endless then it might as well be Only getting started, only the beginning, oh you know it's on it's way And I've been saving all my time While the others waste their lives And soon I'll start living mine When winter is here

One of these days It will breathe Several words In your ear When you spoke Every word was filled with holes To make us all Fall inside And every artifact sound is breaking up You’ve been waiting to go back someplace warm Where everyone you love is open If all were dark But for the light of your eyes And all were silent But for the sound of your breath I’d like to think That even through the layers of earth That I could sense Exactly where you were And every artifact sound is breaking up You’ve been waiting to go back someplace warm Where everyone you love is open So with every breath you take I’ll listen closely focusing my sight upon the dull red glow that softly warms the eyelids of the layers of earth that stand between all that is real and everything that never was there at all

Timelines 04:07
Feel every hour, feel every storm Deep in your bones, deep in your blood ‘Cause there are timelines and there floods That separate and define Every island And every passing year And this is where you used to be real So long ago, so long ago And this is how I finally learn That things that stay are connected to Others, others That are never coming back All of their names And faces have changed And I hope you’ve stayed Exactly the same I feel so close for we are apart Only in time, only in time But there’s no meaning in the space that we share And I never will understand Why it has to be this way All of their names And faces have changed And I hope you’ve stayed Exactly the same It’s been a long time But I know I knew you once A long time It’s been a long time And it goes on and on A long time And I hope you stay Exactly the same Deep in your bones, deep in your blood Only in time, only in time

All quiet The silence is our wind That barely moves the trees All on the silver leaves We know if we try We’ll forget our history So no one even speaks Anymore Sister let me go I don’t want to see, I don’t want to know I think it’s wrong I’m one thought from a myth And one from belief in someone’s ghost Or someone’s god And this is not my home I won’t recognize your call I won’t see you in the fall And I won’t miss you when it’s gone Let’s agree We’ll never change again No, we’ll stay the way we’ve been In spite of all the ones That try to hold Our voices in their frames Knowing that none of them can stop us now Spent so many years Developing this synesthetic bliss But now it just feels wrong ‘Cause every time I see A parking lot lit by the sun I think it’s God And this is not my home I won’t recognize your call I won’t see you in the fall And I won’t miss you when it’s gone

One of these days I will find a way to make it work I will swim Until I reach the edges of the earth Crowded cities blocking out the stars Everybody’s going out tonight Broken buildings and smoke above the cars Don’t worry darling I won’t forget the light One of these days I will find a way to make it work To get away We’ll tunnel to center of the earth Crowded cities blocking out the stars Everybody’s going out tonight Broken buildings and smoke above the cars Don’t worry darling I won’t forget the light

Forest Floor 07:01
On the forest floor Quieting an ageless year I try to fall asleep Restless as my brother watches over me And now that morning has come I hardly remember anything I only recall the leaves I only remember they were dark and thick and beautiful that year Memories are made of soft truth Collapsing underneath the weight Of everything we’d rather believe I know that you are Older than these endless rings I try to trace you back Further but it only ever ends at me And I ask what I could call The ghost of your history Oh nothing at all Their names are but empty words that will remain unspoken now So tonight we mark the passing of The ages that have scattered all And what about the ghost that we made? Sometimes I’m almost sure his breath Is floating in this room to this day The air was so thick with remorse Preparing itself to be born Cold wind was shaking the door Gravity pulled from the floor But I awoke And I said, It’s time And the darkened candles gave their smoke back To the night And the sky was open wide and now There’s a bed of roses That blooms beneath the evergreens Where we once stood Where we once stood Now who lies there yes Who lies there tonight? (On and on and on and all the way back down It still feels the same So I’ll go on and on and on and all the back down It still feels the same So I will go)

Once in a while Once in a while You look just like someone Someone I used to know And I’m filled with glass and mirror in the place of something real I’ll never see I’ll never know It’s buried in the leaves Or covered by the snow Of memory As autumn ends the extra hour is not enough The coldest wind, the deepest trust is not enough It’s not enough Once in five years I saw your face Your grey eyes were so clear That I believed them real And there they stayed so permanent and impossibly still We used to share A time and a place But now you’re by the sea While I live among the trees And ever will As winter ends another year is not enough The warmest touch, the deepest love is not enough It’s not enough Our love is not enough

Old House 04:47
I want to go back to the old house now that we’re older It isn’t the same now that it’s all been painted over But I still want to see the shapes That those old walls and windows used to make Do you remember when we went to the third floor And sat on the carpet as the light poured through the windows Would the dust behind your hair Still glow as brightly in the sun? All our lives are changing but I want to believe It’s still as real as we And every hour that passes through me Every single thing I’ve seen remains somewhere And you are always there So where are the rivers that we’d swim when we were younger? And where are the winters that our memory sleeps under? Where are our grandfather’s children And the songs our mothers gave us? I can hear you singing If I listen close enough at night All our lives are changing but I want to believe It’s still as real as we And every hour that passes through me Every single thing I’ve seen remains somewhere And I don’t want to change so when I’m Home again I will pretend to fall asleep I want to stay right here so if you find me Home again I will pretend that I’m asleep Don’t wake me up I can hear you singing if I listen close enough at night yes I can hear you singing if I listen

Twilight 08:28
The thinnest trees Make us believe The lies they weave Into lives And I can’t see Underneath The fallen leaves Though I try To see them fade Like dark red paint In thick glass frames In the house Take one down of the wall Take one down, take them all Now and then and again Other ways to pretend ‘Cause I’m losing confidence in all I’ve known When it’s dark outside you only trust your eyes to see just what you want them to Shadows shroud Dark red clouds Up and down They take flight And it’s the sound Of different birds Their whispered words Fill the night One by one they will come One by one, one by one Now and then and again Other ways to pretend After all I finally see that I was born to feel this way The moon was bright as hell I fell asleep Please just let me stay like this just for tonight ‘Cause there’s nothing you could say to change my mind And this feeling could just disappear When morning dreams are touched are touched by sunlight Oh, we lost our innocence so long ago

Future Song 04:23
We made words Temporary like rain And we made songs that stayed And over time The seasons disappeared And we forgot to change The wind had stopped And I barely noticed We had grown so old ‘Cause after all It doesn’t feel as long As it has really been I remember when your hair was long And I first learned your name And I never needed any songs To understand this weight Last night it faded fast Last night it faded fast and I want to weigh it down some I won’t let it pass I won’t let it pass ‘cause this time I saw you in the future We brushed our hair aside and
