Though the wind blows
And sun makes shadows
Let's be careless and crass
Though trouble knows the way here
Be cool and stay here
Flip the bird to the clouds
Along the way we learned the sound
Of footsteps running over ground
Peace can cover us
Protect and shelter us
Let's run
Get soaked in the open air
Safe is a state of mind
A place you can never find
Let's crash on the rocks and scatter in the spray with the waves
Along the way we learned the sound
Of footsteps running over ground
Of footsteps running over ground

You were born out of season
No mercy no reason
The cold brutal winter
The icy moon glimmer on the snow
In the land of your family
By the lake in the country
You bloomed out of nothing
You always knew something else would come
Take me back to that other place
The sun throws shapes through the curtain lace
And leaves them on the bed
You're a light now a shadow
A song now an echo
You belong with your mother
In the cool breeze of summer on the deck
Where the only thing that burned you
Was the sun through the willows
Avocado and lemon, a little touch of cayenne
On your tongue
Take me back to that other place
The sun throws shapes through the curtain lace
And leaves them on the bed
Take me back to the summer
Drag me make it easier
Take me back in circles of insufferable love
You're a light you're a shadow babe
Take me back to that other place

Go away go away
there's nothing left to say
You can't spin it in any other way
Am I finally getting through?
There's nothing left to say
Go away
So long so long
We've been pushing way too long
It's not possible that one of us is wrong
We've been pushing way too hard and pulling way too long
So long
Oh I've known it all long
I'm ready for the time of my life
Farewell Farewell
We don't have to scream and yell
We've been waiting long enough to tell
We built a house of cards and like we knew it would it fell
Farewell
Oh I've known it all long
I'm ready for the time of my life
Goodbye goodbye
Let sleeping dogs lie
You know that we've both lost the will to try
Say I didn't treat you oh so bad did I?
Say I didn't treat you oh so bad did I?
Tell me I didn't treat you oh so bad did I?
Did I?

Leaves are falling from the trees
Rolling around in the breeze
Oh I'm lost and I don't know how
To find my way around anymore
Remember me standing in the rain
On the beach in the cold wet sand
The waves were rolling in to kiss my feet
you're never gonna believe it when it comes your way
When I pay you back someday
Waiting for the other shoe to fall
Waiting for my number to be called
Oh I've been waiting all this time
Oh I've been waiting all my life
The debts are piling up
Getting by on beginners luck
Blessed indecision is a way of life
You're never gonna believe it when I find my way back home to pay you back
Oh what a breeze
Just as easy you please
You float across the country and drift across the sea
The ice floes and the glaciers and the distance in the way
I'm gonna pay you back one day
Waiting for the other shoe to fall
Waiting for my number to be called
Oh I've been waiting all this time
Oh I've been waiting all my life

The kids are on their skateboards in the parking garage
smoking right in front of the camera
I went down there an hour ago but no one was around
Friday night
Friday night
Someone threw a slurpee down the escalator
I don't think they did it by mistake
I thought I saw a twenty in the wishing well
Friday night
Friday night
I love you more than ever but you're so uptight
Some things that only time can fix
Call me at the mall if you're not sleeping right
I'll here till six
Late at night is quiet but the lights are bright
Coffee rings marking up the desk
Dozing at the monitor my head snaps up
Friday night
Friday night
Walkie talkie crackles through the channels
Nobody at the other end
I haven't said a word since closing time
Friday night
Friday night
I love you more than ever but you're so uptight
Some things that only time can fix
Call me at the mall if you're not sleeping right
I'll be here till six
The radio, flashlight and a styrofoam cup
My uniform sticking to the chair
Jingle jangle keychain always wakes me up
But there's nobody there

I'll tell you stories that will make your head spin
About your grand-dad and his bathtub gin
We've all been here before
What are we looking for?
I'll tell you stories that will make your head spin
Bright lights stage fright
There's always someone who can hit the crowd right
Wake me when it's over
We are all children and we need to be fed
We need a grown-up to put us to bed
What are we looking for?
Someone to give us more?
I'll tell you stories that will make your head spin
Wake me when it's over
What are we looking for?
Someone to give us more?
I'll tell you stories that will make your head spin
Bright lights stage fright
there's always someone who can hit the crowd right
Wake me when it's over

Got turned around in bad inversions
Wandered off the trail
Lost and found and missing persons
So far beyond the pale
If you see my face on the news
Singing those big city blues
Don't you shed a single tear
I was lost but now i'm here
I made my way through unknown places
made myself at home
But I hardly recognized the faces
least of all my own
If you see my face on the news
Singing the city skyline blues
Don't you shed a single tear
I was lost but now i'm here
A rolling storm, a ship without anchor
Unguided by a captain's hand
Unmoored in foreign harbour
Just in sight of land

Old friends will leave and they'll never return
When you see them again they are somebody else
The letters and pictures don't need to be burned
Just make room on the shelf
Don't you want me to take my time
Draw circles instead of lines
You'll never be sure
You'll never be sure
You'll never be sure enough
Gone gone stones in the tide
Forget about them forever
When new ones remind you of others long gone
We'll sing about them together
Don't you want me to take my time
Draw circles instead of lines
You'll never be sure
You'll never be sure
You'll never be sure enough
Don't you want me to take my time
Draw circles instead of lines
You'll never be sure
You'll never be sure
You'll never be sure enough

Don't wait up
Don't wait up
You've been drifting in and out
And the dream life is what it's all about
Don't wait up
Don't wait up
You've been drifting in and out
And the dream life is what it's all about
And when I get home
I'll try not to pull you out
Don't wait up
Don't wait up
You've been drifting in and out
And the dream life is what it's all about
And when I get home
I'll try not to pull you out
Oh what's happened to night time and sleep
Oh the coming of morning is a dream

The music is brilliant, but what I love most about this record is her storytelling. Like any good short-story writer, she has the ability to draw you into her narratives with just the briefest glimpse of the bigger picture. "Two brown dogs came out running cross the highway, panting and low to the ground."
