So Far 04:41
lyrics

So far weve got a ways to go So far weve got a ways to go She captured a face shed seen only in her dreams Perfectly vague blurred beneath the copper’s tarnishing He captured a figure long forgotten, cold and shrouded in the blue empty chairs empty tables and nothing left to lose Perfectly plain he said I need a place to rest and mending to my shoes Perfectly pained she whispered to window and said I need you too How many miles? How many miles? How many miles? How many miles? How many miles do your tracks span in the snow? So long the winters in my memories never seemed so cold and I remember down on henry we were dancing on the floor So long old familiar footsteps although slower still the same whether in the snow ten years ago or fresh in from the rain So strange how silent sparks of wonder end as all consuming flames yet like words on printed pages our hands remain the same So far weve got a way to go How many miles? How many miles? How many miles? How many miles? How many miles? How many miles?

Little Glass Jars 02:56
lyrics

Little glass jars from foot-hilled farms, not so far from home Dust lay still on the window sill, the air is still as stone The daughters dove perched above the ivory crested hollow The amber glow from old panes show, their garden sanctuary Afternoon tea on a black moonless night his failing eyes gray and pine for the light Perhaps in the morning he’ll regain our sight The ground here is marred by the heel of your boot The path growing in on the spring blossoms bloom Your honey hair puddles on your shoulders so fair The window’s lonely with two empty chairs We'll hold like the oak that freckles this land Token of gold that embraces your hand.

come on my bonny come on my girl wev’e got miles to run, lets not wait on the world in a wild winded frenzy we lead the parade with our collars to the sun, and our boot heels toward yesterday so we keep running, running, running, running, running, running, running ah ah ah east from virginia he rode into to town dolling out cash to the crooks and the clowns he knelt down to greet me he offered his hand but his oath is as fleeting as words in the sand so we keep running, running, running, running, running, running, running ah ah ah so we keep running, running, running, running, running, running, running ah ah ah Maybe If we just lay here Lately the messenger bids to come Stay near loneliness plagues here Stay dear hold, the canopy keeps out the cold, from our home, the wind blows, ooohh i paint you a picture you sing me a tune while surveying your skin from under in the moon watching the stars as they fall into place each one a story quilted in space I smell your hair our fingers embrace and you feel my shoulder pressed into your face so we keep running, running, running, running, running, running, running ah ah ah so we keep running, running, running, running, running, running, running ah ah ah

Stay here, you don't have to be alone with me now Whisper, you don't have to hold your breath in this house Tread near, we've all grown up and look at us talking now I will stop at nothing til everybody knows I love Feel me move closer and I'll tell you of gold inside Sit here, close your eyes resign and I'll show you how Paint me the colors that you see when you rest your eyes I will stop at nothing til everybody knows I love you I will stop at nothing til everybody knows I love you I will stop at nothing til everybody knows I love you I will stop at nothing til everybody knows I love you
