Track Name: You Keep The World Alive
gently the evening falls down on us
inside our fire’s burning
pour another glass of wine
there’ll be nothing to stop us tonight

forget all the reasons why i fought so hard
forget the days we barely made it through
i’m in love with you
and i’m tangled up in your affection

you keep the world alive

now that i have found you
i can watch forever unfold before my eyes

now you lay sleeping in our mountain bed
the peace of christ heaving from your chest
drape your body in my arms
and whisper my affection
Track Name: Until
i couldn’t take any more words
from you or your religious shirts
you were so afraid of what shadows hide
so i stepped inside

dark was a friend and unashamed
taught me how to love my pain
she was there and i was alone
and so another day away, another day away, another day away

until i saw the blue in the sky
until everything came alive
until never entered my mind
and i couldn’t sing
until until changed everything

too hot, too cold
when i was with her i was alone
with too much to say
but no way…

i couldn’t take one more breath
complicit in my very death
and you might think you’re unlike me
but you’d have to get in the dark to see
Track Name: Santa Teresa
if teresa could see
the full moon falling through the clouds
the thunder roaring waves collapse
and rush to bow at my feet

if she could hear the sound
of starlight spilling on the shore
but how could she love the night
with the darkness in her soul

you don’t close your eyes to pray
when it’s dark during your days
you wait for a way to believe
would there consolation be
if the very sun fell on me
in a beautiful place called santa teresa

in a place they called liseuix
she felt nothing but alone
no horizon, no green sea
no light of day, no sign of me

a candle in the window burns
the story of a soul like hers
she was shining like the sun
never seeing dawn come

when it comes your time, they say
death comes like a thief to take it all away
leave you cold and alone in the night
one last time
but i don’t think i
can believe that tonight
Track Name: Burning Out
i heard the bells chime through the misty streets of london
i saw you walking all alone, cold and alone
you feel the stones beneath you; their hardness grieves you
unlike your cold heart’s cobblestone, your cobblestone

and the ghosts they find you hurting
and the ghosts they find you yearning
and the ghosts they find your candle burning out

your coat’s pulled tight against the wind but the voices still get in
down some dark passage without a soul, without a soul
there is no light here to greet you; only darkness feeds you
the echoes of the chains you’ve forged, the chains you’ve forged

i thought i heard you awakening from your desperate slumber
i thought i heard breaking chains
