you name me
who am I
that I should company with something so divine
mercy waits, overjoyed
prospect of finding, freeing
freeing me
CHORUS:
love is the thing this time I'm sure
and I couldn't need you more now
the way that you saw things were so pure
overjoyed
you name me
entertain
thoughts of peace can overcome anything
mirror spins
wicked tales
here lies reflections of
deceptions of
[CHORUS]
missing the me from you you gave to me
i don't like the one I have created today
crossing nameless from the one I've earned
to be the one, the one you gave to me
you name me
name me
finding, freeing me
[CHORUS x 2]
overjoyed, overjoyed

it's not hard to know what you're thinking
when you look down on me now
your trance of love is seeking
to turn this world around
but in my state of blind confusion
no god can pull me out
i see your love is willing
to turn me inside out
and then I see you there
the lonely tears I cry
i wish they'd release me
it's in despair that I find faith
summon the night to bow down to day
when ignorance is bliss
save me from myself
CHORUS:
and then I see you there
with your arms open wide
and you try to embrace me
these lonely tears I cry
they keep me in chains
and I wish they'd release me
cold is the night but
colder still is the heart
made of stone, turned from clay
and if you follow me
you'll see all the black, all the white fade to grey
fade to grey
fade to grey
[CHORUS x 2]

fare thee well
trade in all our words for tea and sympathy
wonder why we tried, for things that could never be
play our hearts lament, like an unrehearsed symphony
not intend
to leave this castle full of empty rooms
our love the captive in the tower never rescued
and all the victory songs
seem to be playing out of tune
but it's not the way
that it has to be
don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
'cause it's not the way
that it has to be
you begin
and all your words fall to the floor and break like china cups
and the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up
i reach for my tea and slowly drink in
CHORUS:
'cause it's not the way
that it has to be
don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
'cause it's not the way
that it has to be
don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
so fare thee well
words the bag of leaves that fill my head
i could taste the bitterness and call the waitress instead
she holds the answer, smiles and asks one teaspoon or two
[CHORUS x 2]
don't trade us for tea and sympathy
don't trade us for tea and sympathy
we can work it out
don't trade us for tea and sympathy
don't trade us for tea and sympathy
we can work it out
don't trade us for tea and sympathy
we can work it out

you're cold that way
and that's why you say
the things that you say
you can't attract
the things that you lack
you're trying in vain
CHORUS:
it seems it's always the crazy times
you find you'll wake up and realize
it takes more than your saline eyes
to make things right
you spiral down
you've broken your crown
you don't feel like a queen
you've seen the proof
but you're still crying wolf
you'll never believe
[CHORUS]
you try to climb a broken ladder
grip the missing rungs
and fall down, down, down
seems sometime ago you said
this wouldn't last
and now you sit here crying
beside your bed
you feel left for dead
you kneel in the dark
it takes more than your saline eyes
to make things right
[CHORUS]
. . .

convinced of my deception
i've always been a fool
i fear this love reaction
just like you said i would
a rose could never lie
about the love it brings
and i could never promise
to be any of those things
CHORUS:
if i was not so weak
if i was not so cold
if i was not so scared of being broken
growing old
i would be
i would be
i would be
blessed are the shallow
depth they'll never find
seemed to be some comfort
in rooms i try to hide
exposed beyond the shadows
you take the cup from me
your dirt removes my blindness
your pain becomes my peace
[CHORUS]
frail
. . .

a promise or a dare
i would jump if i knew you'd catch me
staring over the edge
i can't tell if you'll be here for me
i close my eyes and make a wish
turn out the lights and take a breath
pray that when the wick is burned
you would say that it's all about love
CHORUS:
you were there when i needed you
you were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
you were there when i needed you
you were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
you were never here
i remember you said
love was more than your good intentions
empty boxes on the floor
things i never asked you for
i pray that when the wick is burned
you would say that it's all about love
[CHORUS]
i can't see the promise of
excuses you fall upon
i pray to God not holding on
to things you've left undone
[CHORUS x 2]
you were there when i
you were there when i
you were there when i needed you

light of the world
are you still here
and are we illuminating
when love becomes a delicate display
so weak, dissolved by anything
love lies here waiting all alone
can a king be a king
weighed down
our hearts, a bubble maker's dream
moved on by winds of everything
as we deny that love is still the king
not as weak as we make him out to be
love lies here waiting all alone
can a king be a king
weighed down
weighed down
weighed down
weighed down
weighed down

look what i've done
this picture i've painted
it looks like my heart
or what still remains
convinced of the weight
your interpretations
are not what i see
i wish they could be
i remember it much redder
i remember it much brighter
CHORUS:
can you stay for a while
try to imagine this
could you be for a while
i can't remember it
could you fall for a while
i can't escape from this
i'll try to explain
the way that the frame
doesn't quite fit the image
or surround the edge
it stands on display
what do you see
behold all the new grey
what's become of the old me
i remember it much redder
i remember it much brighter
[CHORUS]
calling, crying, ashamed of what i am not
really failing
falling into this cage
and i can't escape
i can't escape
look what i've done
this picture i've painted
doesn't quite fit
or surround the edge
i remember it much redder
[CHORUS]
i can't escape
i can't escape
i can't escape
. . .

faultless in the eyes
that i could never open wide enough
to see me through
much to my surprise
it never orbits around the things
you should hold me to
i stand here wondering
and i'm waiting
CHORUS:
my ear is twisted
in all the thoughts
a glimpse of truce just because
it's always almost never close
i close my eyes, hide the distance
enchanted by the face of peace
and when it turns to sunken eyes
and waterfalls
unsatisfied with simple things
entangled in the chords
i can't take any calls
i stand here waiting
i'm calling
[CHORUS]
waiting around for some kind of peace
hoping you find me in my need
my ear is twisted
it's always almost
[CHORUS]
. . .

empty again
sunken down so far
so scared to fall
i might not get up again
so i lay at your feet
all my brokenness
i carry all of my burdens to you
CHORUS:
all of these things
i've held up in vain
no reason nor rhyme
just the scars that remain
of all of these things
i'm so much afraid
scared out of my mind
by the demons i've made
sweet Jesus, you never ever let me go
oh, sweet Jesus, never ever let me go
so happy to love
yet so far to go
you lead me on
to where I've never been before
[CHORUS]
. . .
|
|
oh refuge of my hardened heart
oh fast pursuing lover come
as angels dance around your throne
my life by captured fare you own
not silhouette of trodden faith
nor death shall not my steps be guide
i'll pirouette upon my grave
for in your path i'll run and hide
CHORUS:
oh gaze of love so melt my pride
that i may in your house but kneel
and in my brokenness to cry
spring worship unto thee
when beauty breaks the spell of pain
the bludgeoned heart shall burst in vain
but not when love be pointed king
and truth shall thee forever reign
[CHORUS]
sweet Jesus carry me away
from cold of night, and dust of day
in ragged hour or salt worn eye
be my desire, my well sprung lye
[CHORUS x 2]
spring worship unto thee
spring worship unto thee

She always knew the things to say
She had a smile to end a frown
Sometimes it seems she didn't notice
Sometimes she dreams
Sometimes she tries to dance
She calls out "Hi Ho Silver" from her chair
She dreams of somehow saving the day
The chair a pressing door left open
Her heart the key she always turns
A locking peace no understanding
It was all she knew
And what she held on to
[Chorus:]
She calls out "Hi Ho Silver" from her chair
(she calls out "Hi Ho Silver")
She dreams of somehow saving the day
(she dreams)
She rides out west into the sunset
She knew she could, she'd somehow find a way
[Bridge]
Upon the legs that wouldn't carry
Fly away around the sun
And leave the misery for heaven
And sometimes dream again the dance
And as the grass grows through the concrete
Life embraces bitter land
She learned to trust, she learned to love
She walked the dream, she walked the dance
[Chorus x 2]
