long winter

do you know the sound of the snow fall?
have you tasted bitter cold?
have you tread the banks of whiteness?
have you lived where i called home?
there were long nights of wanting
there was ice and there was snow
& the edges of the barren trees
pointing where i did not go
oh, the long winter is over - now it begins
come again the day of hours - let the right one in
did you know: your name's a flower?
did you know how much you croon?
how long in twilight did i wander
now i marvel at your bloom
i knew you before i saw you
but did not know my own shade
i always sensed this tune within me
just did not know how it was played
oh the long winter is over - now we begin
come again the day of hours - oh, lover let me in

she sits all day in the sun
she's in love with everyone
she plays out in the rain
she's the cure for all of your pain
moira - i see you
her smile can melt the clouds
her song can draw a crowd
catch a glance from her sapphire eyes
watch her soar through azure skies
moira - i see you
she's everyone's darling starling
when the sunset is drawing near
from upon her strawberry throne
she always goes home alone
moira - i see you

i am so lonely here on this island made of greed
so far away from friendly drawls
it’s black and cold up here on this steely yankee sea
no gulf to winds to calm my soul
you are home, you are home
isle dauphine, you are home
your bones were on the outside when they should not be at all
it was a scene that chilled those sailors' souls
but once they changed your name to sound like Louis' son
they came and they claimed your every knoll
you are home, you are home
isle dauphine, you are home
you survive the hurricanes
with Katrina's wrath, only split in twain
the sea will always pass you by
your enchanted shores in the storms' eye
your bay of birds, your lakes of blue
your fancy balls, but your trawlers, too
the fleur de lys is in your past
i am the son you have raised best
you are home, you are home
isle dauphine, you are home

(it's been) too long
02:01

just yesterday i saw you running down the street
chasin’ light into every shadow that you meet
i stayed up late listening to your dreams
i stayed up late to watch you smiling in your sleep
it’s been too long, way too long
since you’ve been gone
here is the list of everything that i would say
but it ain’t half as much of every price that i would pay
to have you back for just one more late night
to have you back for one more knock-down-drag-out fight
it’s been too long, way too long
since you’ve been gone
there was always this song you couldn’t sing
there was always just one more goddamned thing
but just last night i thought i heard your note
and this is the sound that echoed when i woke
it’s been too long, way too long
since you’ve been gone

take it back

write me a bright burning page, tell me all your regrets
with your anger, now set it ablaze so no one forgets
there is a song you can sing, its melody simple
& every time that devil rings, this fire will rekindle
but every word that you say, every fork in the path
every last hallelujah, no, you can't take it back
raise a glass & toast to your shadow
raise a glass & toast with your fist
raise a glass & let it all go
the wolves are asleep in their den, it's a new moon tonight
the winter stars whisper alone: just close your eyes
listen now close to the wind, how far her voice echoes
listen for the way that it ends: this hymn that nobody knows
every word that you say, every fork in the path
every last hallelujah, no, you can't take it back
raise a glass & toast to your shadow
raise a glass & toast with your fist
raise a glass & let it all go
write me a bright burning page, tell me all your regrets
with your anger, now set it ablaze: i promise, i'll never forget

my beloved monster & me
we go everywhere together
wearing a raincoat that has four sleeves
gets us through all kinds of weather
she will always be the only thing
that comes between me and the awful sting
that comes from living in a world
that's so damn mean
my beloved monster is tough
if she wants she will destroy you
but if you lay her down for a kiss
her little heart it could explode
she will always be the only thing
that comes between me and the awful sting
that comes from living in a world
that's so damn mean
my beloved monster & me
we go everywhere together
