Half-remembered
Drunken nights
The sun stayed up like
A diamond in the sky

Owl girl – where have you been?
I know I'm bored
and my blood is pretty thin
But some nights I swear
There was magic in the air:

A fox bites me apart from loneliness
Wolves in the basement
An owl in my head

Your head's in headlock
Are you in trouble again?
Now you've lost another friend

You felt something
But you never feel enough
When I break men
You're the one I'm thinking of

Fall down the stairs
It's been a long time since
I got my hands on your teenage poems
It's the only poison that I like

I'm throwing rocks at broken windows
Picking locks with footprints from the snow

And I don't believe you live in a library
(That sails the sea)
Sleeping with a book-blanket out at sea
(Like the girls told me)

My little bird flew away from me
She made her home in a poor country

You're breaking branches
on your way down
Just some one new
to throw your arms around

The next time I wake up, I want it to be
In a rabbit hole to the sound of you
(Making coffee)
With the warm, salty sea
Its waves crashing over me

Look what you done
You punched a hole in the sun
(Now it won't shine)

Look what you done
You punched a hole in the sun
(How did you know?)

Look what you've done
You punched a hole in the sun
And now it won't shine for anyone

We spread our blankets over the lake
I peed tight in a jar
I tried to leave
But you held my arms and head in the lake

So, I grab on hold to the spider's neck
And ride out of town
Because I'm sick and the days are long

I tried, and I tried to squeeze
The blue out of the sky
The yellow out of the sun

And that big invisible boulder
You keep on your shoulders
With the time we'll make it into sand
A grain you'll keep in your hand

Like a rabbit in a human skin coat
You'll dance on the yard
Like a wolf flipping good-bye notes
You'll howl at the sky

So, show your cat teeth to the lion
And grab unto his main vein

Do you remember what things
looked like when you were young?
The voice of an old friend
or the notes to your first song

It's been a while now
Since you asked me to be
Your cat or your dog
Your owl or bumblebee

Lately I've been feeling like
The day is gonna come
You'll walk up to me
And erase my memory

Can't wait to feel brand new
Can't wait to meet you again – Friend

I think I must have known you in another life
I think our rocking chairs used to rock
Together all night

With pictures of owls all over the walls
Tiny ships in bottles, they won't sail
Too far away

When the birds are sleeping
That's when the trees sing
You left your winter clothes
And your teeth marks in my skin

So shake the leaves off the trees
Watch them float down, down the stream
Your son, your daughter swimming in the water

And I miss you, even when you're around
I'm a black cloud sending lightning to the ground

Darling please show your teeth
Just one more dance to help me sleep
Owl girl, cold water eyes
Fill the past with friendly nights

Human skin can be hard to live in
You'll feel better in the morning

(Swim, swim outside the walls)
Wash your hands in the lake
(Swim, swim outside the walls)
You got a heart, light the way

Trails lost in the snow
Make way for winter's eerie glow
And that black rock in your bedroom
I hope you'll climb it soon

In your boat, tied to a tree
I hope you'll find the sea

Throw me a dream please
It's been a dreamless sleep for
Such a long time, such a long time

Sing myself awake
Watch the branches break
No one could ever take your place

(Sing, sing outside the walls)
Wash your face in the lake
(Sing, sing outside the walls)
You got a diamond under your skin

It's hard to wake up
when you're not sleeping
It's hard to make it mean something
when it means nothing at all

Hear her call in vain

I slept for a year until I pulled your hair
I fell down the stairs, so glad I found you there
Time to forget your mistakes and regrets
Sometimes I swore your mind was…

Was a trap door

And on long black nights
When my hope had died
You (were a friendly life)

So I let the werewolf out
I let the lonely nights (have their way)

I looked down on you
From my mountain
And I (slept by your feet)

And when you come home
Your song will turn unto (a drowning sound)

And no sleep, no light
No rapid type twister soared
On the (frozen ground)

That's all over now
So many thoughts (to dream about)
Some nights I swear there was magic in the air

You left your black gloves on my table
You left your dark horse in the stable
Thinking of a way to get you to stay
And I'll promise to fight the wind and waves for you

I'm an owl with tired eyes
I'm the scarecrow in disguise
The absolute con

I would babe sing
When all I want to do is stay inside
And look out the window with you

There was a dead mouse in your arms
That was the moment that you lost your charm
No bear paw sitting in a jar

And your tree, it never grew any leaves
Shake my arms, shake my head
I fell asleep on your cobweb

And I'm turning from all the lights tonight
Saw you in a crowded bar, pale with hungry eyes

I saw the lion on the elephant's back
(((Crawling forever)))
I heard your name in a book
Saw your face in a map

And now I hear your name everywhere I go
But I'm the quiet, polar, quiet, bear
Making blankets for the dead

And how do you make up with the ghost
To stop the blood running from your nose?

And the snow is falling hard down
On this old window
I thought that summer was near
But what do I know?

The taste on your lips
The lead in your eyelids
The sea under the boat
My hands in your raincoat

I went out to shoot this rock
Forget the sailor's blues
I'm in a maze
(Try again)

I think I'll sleep in this ghost town
For a while if you don't mind
(Go unpack your bag)

I love the way
You say my name
It sounds different everyday

I used to think
That I'd seen you walk away
Too many times

Now I know
You're here to stay
Now it's you and me who walk away

I love the way
You say my name
It sounds different everyday

When you're not home
I always liked being alone
But not anymore

When the fly and the possum
Were watching the sun go down
We painted planes in the signs

I know is a bore, ohhh (bo-bo-bore)
To melt the ice and the snow
But we can't row, row it, row, row it

We'll have to wait until summer
Comes and wakes up
Then we can play to the moon
To keep mere warmth under the sun

Roaming softly through yourself
You watched the words change for someone else
Form an echo in a seashell
A drunken thought or a long farewell

And then tonight I'll dive into your eyes
Will we feel like this for the rest of our lives?
Just a bird, tied to a stone
Do I really want the stone to be thrown?

Under the sea, black and deep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
So shake the leaves off this tree

And in the dark blue light I watched the
bottle sail into the night
Carried you home, shaking like a leaf
You couldn't swim even though you live by the sea

A flock of owls know your name
Will you promise me to stay the same?

Buried my hands on the old cold sand
I looked up and saw all the sunlight on you again

Night after night, I followed you home
Light after light, I followed your footsteps on the snow

(Under the sea, black and deep)
(Under the sea, black and deep)
(Under the sea, black and deep)
(Under the sea, black and deep)
(Under the sea, black and deep)

Under the sea, black and deep
Everything I give is everything that I keep

Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
