Clouds 1-8 02:34
Your feet upon the ground My eyes up in the clouds Feet pull you from the place I want you to be right now I'm begging for the clouds Bring me swiftly, safe and sound You're hiding from the rain My eyes are raining down Running anchors in the wall Climbing down before you fall Riding droplets through the wind Wishing you would just stand tall Oh, I pretend not to see But I know why you run I know why you run I know why you run away from me And I'd have to agree
2.
I'm miles away from where you learned Just how to take my heart and run You had to fake that limping leg 'Cause sympathy will get you paid Oh, how slow I try when I start to hate her second nature Oh, it's been so long since I stayed in her home That year I married Mary But I ain't married no more Nothing set in stone except my feet under the lake When I jumped in with these concrete shoes Nothing set in stone except the sword that I will break To keep your king away from rescuing you Flash in the pan, blink of an eye This runaway will pass you by Stay awake, get a good look 'Cause when it's gone, it's gone for good Oh, it's been so long since I had left her home That year I heard Mary got married But Mary ain't married no more Nothing set in stone except the rules that we all break 'Cause after all, who said these rules are true? Nothing set in stone except the statue of a great man Who hid the fact that he was lost too Nothing set in stone Nothing set in stone Nothing set in stone Nothing set in stone

By way of agitation, less than secret admiration Some might find my dedication to be unwise They say, "Take your time." But your way of imagination Such a passionate patience in your eyes Medicating me on sight I'm liquified So set this pool on fire before you say goodbye Tell me it's not time Go, go, go, go No, no, no, no You're so, so slow to decide If you leave here, then I'll be there I'm not the lackluster kind And I've made up my mind Dig into the well I've got my heart on my lapel My pail is dry Tears won't turn themselves to wine Yet in my pail I cry Why my feet won't carry me home Go, go, go, go No, no, no, no You know no dose to prescribe You will break and you will falter A troubled snake in troubled water I've been bitten blind And I've made up my mind Please don't mind me when you find me Frozen, cracked and alone Let me go, let me go, 'cause I can't let go Melt me down The end of you, the end of me But in the end, where will we be? A string of pearls, a string of graves Just sing to me and I'll behave

Boxes 03:32
I once had a love, and it filled up my heart Now it fills me with heavy, not quite like the start It fills me with empty in here by myself And all the boxes on my shelf are empty Empty as well I once had the soft grass, had shade from the heat Took this ground for granted, now it's gone from my feet Where once she would tell me that her eyes were mine Now this room seems crowded And I'm in the back of the line No ink for the paper No salt for the wound No rest for the weary No stone for the tomb No hammer to nail these two feet where they lay 'Cause the ground that you gave me You've taken away There's more second chances, more fish in the sea But I'm not one for fishing when I'm dead on the beach When you've got a fire, just hold back the fuel 'Cause no matter what I do I was, I was the fool When I had the oyster, I searched for the shells But now that you're gone, I don't want no one else Now all of these boxes are empty as hell And all of my words are empty Empty as well No ink for the paper No salt for the wound No rest for the weary No stone for the tomb No hammer to nail these two feet where they lay 'Cause the ground that you gave me You've taken away No ink for the paper No salt for the wound No rest for the weary No stone for the tomb No hammer to nail these two feet where they lay 'Cause the ground that you gave me You've taken away I said the ground that you gave me You've taken away I said the ground that you gave me I threw it, I threw it away

Cloud 9 03:30
Your little heart is falling apart You're off to a terrible start Let's look around Where have you gone? Never look down Down, down I know there was a day that when the pilgrims pray Often times I would say I won't go out of my way I don't know what you do The trouble I go through To take the prayer out of you What have you done, now what did you do? Can't you hear the sound Your heart is breaking down And falling from a cloud We'll search around this whole damn town And bring back every fear and frown and kiss and curse Up to the clouds And put your heart back how I found it Baby that's an awful lot of love I have for you
