Keeping you close, falling behind
I lost my voice, you lost your mind
You say you're not well, I say that you're fine
Walking with me through the aisles of a drugstore

If you return to me, oh, if you return to me

Your mother's a fake, a phantom who steals
The smile on your face is not what you feel
I'll check you in if you check me out
Some lonesome wrist cutter who says I'm her brother

Oh, if you return to me, oh, if you return to me

Was I the ghost or one of your voices
You hear in your head when you're out killing horses?
Who's taking my place, who's taking you home?
I don't think it's safe to turn out the nightlight

And if you return to me, oh, if you return to me

I read your reviews, I studied the lines
I know them so well, my life's now a tragedy
One for the road, two for the plane
And I will be fine, as long as you take me

And if you return to me, oh, if you return to me

It's all right, baby
It's all right, baby
It's all right, babe
It's all right

 Mother do you know how
All of this has changed us?
I was a fool who
Would always defend you
Was I wrong to like the other
Sisters and brothers abandon?

Forgive my living
Keep me from breathing
A house that is standing
Is no house at all

Mother is it easy
Knowing that I will die soon?
Will you keep me as ashes
Placed on the mantel or thrown out?

 Mother do you know now
Love is not painless it's poison?
Forgive my living
Keep me from breathing
A house that is standing
Is no house at all

Far out and failing
So they lead you away
Speak for me would you
I have nothing to say

And you would not notice
My hands have let go
Feel free to replace them
They are idle and slow

Mothers and fathers
You sisters all lost
The pending opinions
Are you worth what they've got

And they would not notice
Your hands open wide
Some Judas before them
With thorns in your side

Feel free to lay down
You could use a rest
Speak for me would you
Since you've taken my breath

And you would not notice
My hands have let go
Feel free to replace them
They are idle and slow

I wish that I could float
Float up from the ground
I will never know
What that's like

You have a way about you
I wish that I had
Thought it was impossible
To live and love like you

Funny how we all can change
If we just try to
Thought it was impossible
To live and love like you

One day you will be taller
Taller than the sky
Until that day you will be
Here with us below

Magic will do what magic does
Living in your eyes
Do you think someday soon
You will have the time

I could use another hand
To help pull me through
Someday these hospital stays
Get the best of me
Trying to fix my mind

Still trying to fix my mind
Trying to work it out
I'm still trying to fix my mind
Still trying to fix my mind
I'm still trying to fix my mind

 

 "I'VE BEEN THE ONE"

BILL CALLAHAN & BONNIE PRINCE BILLY

I've been the one who has been frightened and almost borne away
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
How can I cry about something I can't see

Oh my friends all say she had her chance, let's go shoot some pool
You know a fool is just a fool
And I've tried everything that whiskey cures, but the pain endures
And now I'm feeling that pain
I put my pride in my pocket, that's how I'll spend my loneliest days
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes

Don't know what to do, hold the lamp above the rafters
These smoke-filled rooms will not replace her
I've been the one who has been frightened and almost borne away
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes

 
 

 "SEA SONG"

BILL CALLAHAN & BONNIE PRINCE BILLY

You look different every time you come
From the foam-crested brine
It's your skin shining softly in the moonlight
Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale
Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?
Joking apart, when you're drunk, you're terrific when you're drunk
I like you mostly late at night, you're quite alright

But I can't understand the different you in the morning
When it's time to play at being human for a while
Please smile

No, no, no, no

You'll be different in the Spring, I know
You're a seasonal beast
Like the starfish that drift in with the tide, with the tide
So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon
Your madness fits in nicely with my own, with my own
Your lunacy fits neatly with my own, my very own

My very own
My very own
My very own

We're not alone

 "ANOTHER LONELY DAY"
BEN HARPER

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr5mCBFejIE

 

Yes indeed I'm alone again
And here comes emptiness crashing in
It's either love or hate
I can't find in between
'Cause I've been with witches
And I have been with a queen

It wouldn't have worked out anyway
So now it's just another lonely day
Further along we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day

Wish there was something I could say or do
I can resist anything but the temptation from you
But I'd rather walk alone
Than chase you around
I'd rather fall myself
Than let you drag me on down

It wouldn't have worked out anyway
And now it's just another lonely day
Further along we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day

Yesterday seems like a life ago
'Cause the one I love
Today I hardly know
You I held so close in my heart oh dear
Grow further from me with every fallen tear

It wouldn't have worked out anyway
So now it's just another lonely day
Further along we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day
For now it's just another lonely day
For now it's just another lonely day
