Vetiver Album

I can't believe that you're knocking
Knocking on my door
Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh
Fate has a way of showing i'm where you belong
Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh

I can't believe that you're knocking
Knocking on my door
Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh
Fate has a way of showing i'm where you belong
Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh

The sound of my heart stopping is surprising some/so?
It's been so long, been so long, oh
Time has a way of knowing
What we have in store
Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh

you may be blue
but you dark my day
throw shadows my way
break my mind
while you say that you've been treating me kind
who are you foolin'?

my time with you
beat a thorn-filled path
blood filled where we passed through
blood red with wrath
you all knew that we'd be fine
find by nothing at all

I know my way
and it won't be long
you're gonna wake one day
to find me gone
and there won't be nothing but goodbye
nothing nothing but goodbye

So you've come back home
To the usa
And your lips look new
They have things to say that i've never heard
I should be out west
Where we've talked by the bay
Now your eyes face east
They've seen things that say what i've never heard
No one word
A word like love could explain or contain what i'm feeling
And i won't try to summon the
Words to catch the ways to keep when we can't touch
I won't ask for much

Just show me how to bring
Clarity to bear
Down on what i've come
To believe that we would share
To see and to believe
We could make the way
On our silly time
Girl it isn't too late
To make that start
To be so bold
Now you've come back home
All out of touch
Is that asking much
Have i asked you much
I won't ask for much

I walk alone, but I feel ya there,
Smiling upon me, I wonder
What you have drawn on your hands today,
Runes to show you remember.

Idle ties, ink and dyes
Woven/Open arms, open wide,
You're with me tonight.

Put on a tape that you made for me,
It's got Marc Bolan and Vashti
Ringin' my ear like a mission bell
Come and go dive in the inkwell

Idle ties, sink and sigh.
Token charms kept near by,
You're with me tonight.

Now the wind answers your telephone
Come on, sing the city soft now
Well it'll get to her once you're underground.
Signal can't _____

Idle ties, sing and sigh
Open arms, open wide.
You're with me tonight.

Maria please don't leave me
now I need ya
I'ma wanted
there's nowhere I can go
My up's turned down
my luck's spun round and left me
no I didn't see it comin
but oh I'ma watchin it go
so I chose the company of those
who don't need protection
took a new name,
mostly to fool my friends
swore off the days
when I had to count on others
cause courtin the knife means
countin your days to the end

I made enemies of those
who might defend me
Partnered with men
liable to do me in
snakin' my way
past deals what make you wonder
what kind of heaven
are these killers dying to win
did I lose my way
or did I just play
the cards the way
the dealer gave em to me
I try not to regret
the things that I've done yet
I know no pardon pity for the guilty

some games you play to win
well you lose
sometimes you're dealt
you don't get to choose
some guns get drawn
but you don't need to use them
some tried that
before their troubles begin
oh but I oh but I
I seemed to have it all
I had the women
and the law by my side
I climbed so high
the sky dropped down to teach me
how to lay low and
keep my ear to the ground

I'll get caught one day
least that's what they say
red hands are but a killers way of trying
don't ask me to confess
my peace will come on rest
confessin's just
an honest way of lying
my nerves are tangled and are cursed with the fear of knowing
no alibis or ties
left to keep me going
no alibis or ties
left to keep me going
(repeats)

If you need, Maureen, I'll recount you all the ways that I mean to be true.
Though my eyes wonder why, my heart keeps inside the reasons why I'm free with you.

Nobody wants to see trouble where none should be.
My Maureen, don't dream that I could ever be leaving you.

You were saved by doubt and you needed an out to help you get through the day
I may offer you sense but it's love you miss and my talking just gets in the way.

Nobody wants to hear farewells ring in their ear.
My Maureen, don't dream that I could ever be leaving you.
Nobody wants to hear farewells ring in their ear.
My Maureen, don't dream that I could ever be leaving you.

i was the porter for centuries
bagman for wars never won
i carried the noose
buried the gatling gun
duration

i lived off dust & tumbleweeds
dressed in a denim suit
bothered the gents
pulled up their towns by the roots
sensation

always did well with the womenfolk
promises never i made
tried when i could
left when i said i would stay
salvation

the fish feast on
the bodies of
the dead down in the sea
while i walk the land permanently
vibration
