Your gonna fall apart
It's gonna break your heart
Your gonna know that you were wrong
Down to the boatyard you'll run
Like you did at your graduation
Your gonna miss her when she's gone
Who you trying to fool?
Your gonna miss her when she's
Your gonna miss her when she's
Your gonna miss her when she's gone
You in your second hand suit
That you wore to the portrait shoot
It was just a dream that you once had
Your gonna lose control
It's gonna take it's toll on you
You'd better let it drive you mad
Who you trying to fool?
What are you trying to prove?
Your gonna miss her when she's
Your gonna miss her when she's
Your gonna miss her when she's gone
These are the wounds that heal you
It's the pain that reveals you
Your gonna miss her when she's
Your gonna miss her when she's
Your gonna miss her when she's gone
World Keeps Turning Lyrics – Brett Dennen
This world keeps turning, turning around,
This world keeps turning me upside down,
I can't do nothing to slow it down.
This world keeps turning, turning around.
Everything you have today,
soon, can be gone away.
Yesterday, I had no sorrow but,
Here today, gone tomorrow.
Here today and gone tomorrow.
This world keeps turning,turning around,
This world keeps turning me, upside down
I can't do nothing to slow it down.
This world keeps turning, turning around.
People can be so cruel.
They'll cheat you and they'll treat you like a fool.
They'll drag your dreams through the dust,
till' you don't know who to trust.
I don't know who to trust.
The more I learn, the less I know.
I got so far to go.
I got so far to go.
This world keeps turning, turning around,
This world keeps turning me upside down,
I can't do nothing to slow it down.
This world keeps turning, turning around.
This world keeps turning, turning around
This world keeps turning, turning around
This world keeps turning me upside down,
I can't do nothing to slow it down.
This world keeps turning, turning around.
Everything you have today,
soon, can be gone away.
Yesterday, I had no sorrow but,
Here today, gone tomorrow.
Here today and gone tomorrow.
This world keeps turning,turning around,
This world keeps turning me, upside down
I can't do nothing to slow it down.
This world keeps turning, turning around.
People can be so cruel.
They'll cheat you and they'll treat you like a fool.
They'll drag your dreams through the dust,
till' you don't know who to trust.
I don't know who to trust.
The more I learn, the less I know.
I got so far to go.
I got so far to go.
This world keeps turning, turning around,
This world keeps turning me upside down,
I can't do nothing to slow it down.
This world keeps turning, turning around.
This world keeps turning, turning around
This world keeps turning, turning around
Who Do You Think You Are? Lyrics – Brett Dennen
Where are all my old friends?
It's been a long time gone.
We've been drifting apart for so many years.
I hope they're still marching on.
Some of em' probably happy with families working hard to get ahead.
Some of them are lost, some are wondering, some of them are already dead.
Who do you think you are?
It's the life you made.
Don't be afraid of the hands you play.
There's an old man sleeping in the parking lot
I wonder what he dreams about
Businessmen in suits taking millions over coffee trying to buy each other out
There's an officer, a senator, a digger and a sewer
A beggar and thief.
They all sit at different table but they all drink the same poison as me
Who do you think you are?
It's the life that you made.
Don't be afraid of the hands you play.
Who do you think you are?
It's the life that you made.
Well don't be afraid of the hands you play
The power went out, and the stars came out
and I went out for a walk in the dark
There were fireflies flittin'
and I heard the poet spittin' rhymes out in the park
And I felt myself drift up off the ground and I rose above the trees
And I saw my life in photographs of fading memories
Who do you think you are?
It's the life that you made.
Don't be afraid of the hands you play.
It's the life that you made.
Don't be afraid of the hands you play.
It's been a long time gone.
We've been drifting apart for so many years.
I hope they're still marching on.
Some of em' probably happy with families working hard to get ahead.
Some of them are lost, some are wondering, some of them are already dead.
Who do you think you are?
It's the life you made.
Don't be afraid of the hands you play.
There's an old man sleeping in the parking lot
I wonder what he dreams about
Businessmen in suits taking millions over coffee trying to buy each other out
There's an officer, a senator, a digger and a sewer
A beggar and thief.
They all sit at different table but they all drink the same poison as me
Who do you think you are?
It's the life that you made.
Don't be afraid of the hands you play.
Who do you think you are?
It's the life that you made.
Well don't be afraid of the hands you play
The power went out, and the stars came out
and I went out for a walk in the dark
There were fireflies flittin'
and I heard the poet spittin' rhymes out in the park
And I felt myself drift up off the ground and I rose above the trees
And I saw my life in photographs of fading memories
Who do you think you are?
It's the life that you made.
Don't be afraid of the hands you play.
It's the life that you made.
Don't be afraid of the hands you play.
Follow Your Heart Lyrics – Brett Dennen
I am a dreamer
And I'm a lover
I've been let down
And I've loved and lost
I've been alone
I've been far from home
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
And you won't get lost
I've been a poor man
I've been a rich man
I made a fortune
And I paid the cost
I've had some good friends
They come and go
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
And you won't get lost
I've been cheated
I've been defeated
I've played the game
And I've been double crossed
Every friend of mine
Has been in hard times
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
And you won't get lost
And I'm a lover
I've been let down
And I've loved and lost
I've been alone
I've been far from home
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
And you won't get lost
I've been a poor man
I've been a rich man
I made a fortune
And I paid the cost
I've had some good friends
They come and go
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
And you won't get lost
I've been cheated
I've been defeated
I've played the game
And I've been double crossed
Every friend of mine
Has been in hard times
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
And you won't get lost
Ain't Gonna Lose You Lyrics – Brett Dennen
You can put a stick in my spokes
I can be the butt of your jokes
I can be the laughing stock, I can be the hoax
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose
They can come and tear my house down
They can run me out of town
They can tie me up, call me a clown
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose you
I can't stand
The thought of another man
No I ain't gonna lose you
They can make me turn my back on my friends
Send me away to san quentin
Put me in the hole, a thousand times again
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose you
Throw me in a hurricane
Tell the whole world I've gone insane
Run an electric shock to my brain
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose you
I can't stand
The thought of another man
No I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose you
Ain't gonna lose [X4]
I'll sing it from my roof top
I'll sing it from the bus stop
I'll sing it on the street drunk to a cop
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose
Ain't gonna lose you
Ain't gonna lose
I can be the butt of your jokes
I can be the laughing stock, I can be the hoax
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose
They can come and tear my house down
They can run me out of town
They can tie me up, call me a clown
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose you
I can't stand
The thought of another man
No I ain't gonna lose you
They can make me turn my back on my friends
Send me away to san quentin
Put me in the hole, a thousand times again
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose you
Throw me in a hurricane
Tell the whole world I've gone insane
Run an electric shock to my brain
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose you
I can't stand
The thought of another man
No I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose you
Ain't gonna lose [X4]
I'll sing it from my roof top
I'll sing it from the bus stop
I'll sing it on the street drunk to a cop
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose
Ain't gonna lose you
Ain't gonna lose

Ain't No Reason Lyrics – Brett Dennen
There ain't no reason things are this way.
It's how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way.
We do it every day.
Preachers on the podium speaking of saints.
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change.
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape,
Cursing my name.
I gotta a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same,
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing,
You can spend your whole life working for something,
Just to have it taken away.
People walk around pushing back their debts,
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets,
Talking about nothing, not thinking about death,
Every little heartbeat, every little breath.
People walk a tightrope on a razors edge.
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons.
It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen,
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence.
There ain't no reason things are this way.
Its how they've always been and they intend to stay.
I don't know why I say the things I say,
But I say them anyway.
But love will come set me free.
Love will come set me free, I do believe.
Love will come set me free, I know it will.
Love will come set me free, yes.
Prison walls still standing tall.
Some things never change at all.
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all.
Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all.
Working your fingers bare to the bone.
Breaking' your back, make you sell your soul.
Like a lung, it's filled with coal,
Suffocating slow.
The wind blows wild and I may move.
But politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit,
To argue the truth.
The air on my skin and the world under my toes
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go,
Love I try to follow.
Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes
There ain't no reason things are this way.
Its how they've always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way.
We do it every day.
It's how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way.
We do it every day.

There Is So Much More Lyrics – Brett Dennen
When I heard the news,
my heart fell on the floor.
I was on a plane on my way to Baltimore.
In these troubled times it's hard enough as it is.
My soul has a known a better life than this.
I wonder how so many can be in so much pain,
while others don't seem to feel a thing.
Then I curse my whiteness
and I get so damn depressed.
In a world of suffering,
why should I be so blessed?
I heard about a women who lives in Colorado.
She built a monument of sorts behind the garage door,
where everyday she prays for all whom are born
and all whose souls have passed on.
Sometimes my trouble gets so thick,
I can't see how I'm gonna get through it.
But, then I'd rather be stuck up in a tree
then be tied to it.
There is so much more.
I don't feel comfortable with the way my clothes fit.
I cant get used to my body's limits.
I got some fancy shoes to try and kick away these blues.
They cost a lot of money but they aren't worth a thing.
I wanna free my feet from the broken glass and concrete.
I need to get out of this city.
Lay upon the ground stare a hole in the sky,
wondering where I go when I die.
...When I die.
my heart fell on the floor.
I was on a plane on my way to Baltimore.
In these troubled times it's hard enough as it is.
My soul has a known a better life than this.
I wonder how so many can be in so much pain,
while others don't seem to feel a thing.
Then I curse my whiteness
and I get so damn depressed.
In a world of suffering,
why should I be so blessed?
I heard about a women who lives in Colorado.
She built a monument of sorts behind the garage door,
where everyday she prays for all whom are born
and all whose souls have passed on.
Sometimes my trouble gets so thick,
I can't see how I'm gonna get through it.
But, then I'd rather be stuck up in a tree
then be tied to it.
There is so much more.
I don't feel comfortable with the way my clothes fit.
I cant get used to my body's limits.
I got some fancy shoes to try and kick away these blues.
They cost a lot of money but they aren't worth a thing.
I wanna free my feet from the broken glass and concrete.
I need to get out of this city.
Lay upon the ground stare a hole in the sky,

Darlin' Do Not Fear Lyrics – Brett Dennen
When I arrived in my own set of clothes
I was half a world away from my home
And I was hunted by the wolves and I was heckled by the crows
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
Alongside my innocence I laid in bed awake
Conflicted in these chains with the impetus of age
But like a phantom she crept across the floor and out the window
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
From this place on the mantle my heart was taken down
Scattered in a thousand little pieces on the ground
And out below the streetlamp like an orphan with a halo
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
'Cause it won't last - the worries will pass
All your troubles they don't stand a chance
And sometimes it takes more than a lifetime to know
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
The confidence is full with your faith etched in stone
And I let clean comfort you from the wild unknown
So bury your burning hatred like a hatchet in snow
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
If you have a broken heart or a battered soul
Find something to hold on to or to let go
To help you through the hard nights like a flask filled with hope
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
'Cause it won't last - your worries will pass
All your troubles they don't stand a chance
And it always hurts the worst when it's the ones we love the most
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
Sometimes your path is marked in the sky
Sometimes you're forced to fit in between the lines
Sometimes all that you can do is say no
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
I said, when I arrived in my own set of clothes
I was half a world away from my home
And I was hunted by the wolves and I was heckled by the crows
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
I said, Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
We said, Darlin' do not fear
I was half a world away from my home
And I was hunted by the wolves and I was heckled by the crows
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
Alongside my innocence I laid in bed awake
Conflicted in these chains with the impetus of age
But like a phantom she crept across the floor and out the window
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
From this place on the mantle my heart was taken down
Scattered in a thousand little pieces on the ground
And out below the streetlamp like an orphan with a halo
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
'Cause it won't last - the worries will pass
All your troubles they don't stand a chance
And sometimes it takes more than a lifetime to know
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
The confidence is full with your faith etched in stone
And I let clean comfort you from the wild unknown
So bury your burning hatred like a hatchet in snow
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
If you have a broken heart or a battered soul
Find something to hold on to or to let go
To help you through the hard nights like a flask filled with hope
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
'Cause it won't last - your worries will pass
All your troubles they don't stand a chance
And it always hurts the worst when it's the ones we love the most
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
Sometimes your path is marked in the sky
Sometimes you're forced to fit in between the lines
Sometimes all that you can do is say no
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
I said, when I arrived in my own set of clothes
I was half a world away from my home
And I was hunted by the wolves and I was heckled by the crows
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
I said, Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
We said, Darlin' do not fear
Because You Are A Woman Lyrics – Brett Dennen
Only wanted to be closer to you
i thought i had something to prove
instead i fled with my superstition
because you are a woman
now i was told since before i could speak
a mans emotions are what make him weak
i come to you more or less a humble man
because you are a woman
and i find most of the time i'm lost inside my own mind
i look all over, all over to find
it dont keep me satisfied
all the conquests that i construe
fail miserably in front of you
have you ever been loved my such a charasmatic fool?
and i'm a sucker for your love
the self-centered strutted crowd the side walk
parade and pose with phones and paper cups
you walk like truth through a world of fiction
because you are a woman
and i find most of the time it's all inside my mind
i look all over, all over to find
it dont keep me satisfied
and i find most of the time i miss the way your body coils around mine
the slope of your shoulders
the curve of your spine
because you are a woman
i change my strings and pack my suitcase
i'm always leaving for some other place
but i return to you again and again
because you are a woman
because you are a woman
i thought i had something to prove
instead i fled with my superstition
because you are a woman
now i was told since before i could speak
a mans emotions are what make him weak
i come to you more or less a humble man
because you are a woman
and i find most of the time i'm lost inside my own mind
i look all over, all over to find
it dont keep me satisfied
all the conquests that i construe
fail miserably in front of you
have you ever been loved my such a charasmatic fool?
and i'm a sucker for your love
the self-centered strutted crowd the side walk
parade and pose with phones and paper cups
you walk like truth through a world of fiction
because you are a woman
and i find most of the time it's all inside my mind
i look all over, all over to find
it dont keep me satisfied
and i find most of the time i miss the way your body coils around mine
the slope of your shoulders
the curve of your spine
because you are a woman
i change my strings and pack my suitcase
i'm always leaving for some other place
but i return to you again and again
because you are a woman
because you are a woman
She's Mine Lyrics – Brett Dennen
Well the witches stare with their limbs akimbo
silhouettes of statues up in the window
call me to come here with a crooked crescendo
but i don't
devotees dance among the pantomime on the promenade
into a tabernacle on the lawn
but i don't follow
because she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
yeah she's mine, mine, mine, mmm
midnight moved across the people's park
and i fled the fire like a spinning spark
up onto a porch in the dark
she was waiting right there for me
she knows that my hands are empty
as i go past the mothers of envy
and i don't have to fumble in the dark for my keys
i believe she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
yeah she's mine, mine, mine, mmm
the pupils gather in the yard
around the pulpit made of cards
and waited for their leader's words
but his words didn't make much sense
his mouth spat out a fist of daggers
and his tongue swirled in a southern swagger
and i looked at all the people gathered
but they were all in a trance
and she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
yeah she's mine, mine, mine, mmm
i was thrown before the court of canes
tossed my soul to the furnace flames
where all my heros had been slain, exiled, or put in prison
because they rose above the mess
and because their power posed a threat
and because they spoke of something else
when everybody else didn't
the music fills the space between
the deities and the prophecies
of our bodies pressed seamlessly
silent in the shade
she looks at me so fearlessly
and i take it all too seriously
but it all becomes so clear to me
and makes me understand
that she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
yeah she's mine, mine, mine, mmm
yeah she's mine, all mine, all mine, all mine
yeah she's mine, mine, mine, mmm
yeah she's mine, mine, mine, mmm
yeah she's mine
silhouettes of statues up in the window
call me to come here with a crooked crescendo
but i don't
devotees dance among the pantomime on the promenade
into a tabernacle on the lawn

The One Who Loves You The Most Lyrics – Brett Dennen
When the sky is falling from above you
And the wind is raging from the coast
And you want someone who truly loves you
I will be the one who loves you the most
When the masquerade and burlesqued balls
Become too ordinary to boast
You complain about the parade and curtain calls
I will be the one who loves you the most
Yeah, I will be the one who loves you the most
When the women with their stolen graces
Don't invite you to play host
To their daughters with fake faces
I will be the one who loves you the most
When all the debutantes desert you
And all the doorways are all closed
And the harlequins have hurt you
I will be the one who loves you the most
I will be the one who loves you the most
When your suitors sneering swank beside you
And leave you hollow like a ghost
And you just want somebody to confide to
I will be the one who loves you the most
I will be the one who loves you the most
See, when you forgive your imperfections
And you've auctioned all your clothes
And look to see your true reflection
You will be the one who loves you the most
You will be the one who loves you the most
You will be the one who loves you the most
And the wind is raging from the coast
And you want someone who truly loves you
I will be the one who loves you the most
When the masquerade and burlesqued balls
Become too ordinary to boast
You complain about the parade and curtain calls
I will be the one who loves you the most
Yeah, I will be the one who loves you the most
When the women with their stolen graces
Don't invite you to play host
To their daughters with fake faces
I will be the one who loves you the most
When all the debutantes desert you
And all the doorways are all closed
And the harlequins have hurt you
I will be the one who loves you the most
I will be the one who loves you the most
When your suitors sneering swank beside you
And leave you hollow like a ghost
And you just want somebody to confide to
I will be the one who loves you the most
I will be the one who loves you the most
See, when you forgive your imperfections
And you've auctioned all your clothes
And look to see your true reflection
You will be the one who loves you the most
You will be the one who loves you the most
You will be the one who loves you the most
I Asked When Lyrics – Brett Dennen
Well i dreamed i went out a wanderin'
i heard promises become fables forgotten
i saw bridges stretchin' out across the water
and towers pushing taller
i knew my reality was clearly defined
by the fences put up around my mind
i watched them thicken into walls over time
taller than any boarder line
i saw civilizations deemed insignificant
i saw people's history tatooed on their skin
i saw families taken from their land
dynasties shattered and stolen
and i asked when... is a revolution
i asked when... is a revolution
in all the burdens of centuries accrue
that get passed along to every generation's youth
and all the allegories told in lieu of truth
i watched them grow wild and spread like the flu
i saw the rise of an untamed industry
i watched machines paint a paper economy
i saw my own self stand right in front of me
and i didn't do a thing
i saw poisons pushed in the street
and prescription pills mingling in the mezzanine
with a whole host of wealth of doctors and pharmaceutical companies
still poor people were dying from disease
and i asked when... is a revolution
i asked when... is a revolution
i asked when... is a revolution
i asked when... is a revolution
and i broke down at the break of dawn
I saw new meaning in the clouds above the Pentagon
as real as the hollocaust as stong as the Parthanon
visions of Sudan Iraq and Vietnam
i stood silent upon a flooded levy
and stared at the ruins of a merchant city
and the president who came to dine with the noble elite
he didnt do a thing
i saw three ships come sailing in
through the passage of the CARIBBEAN
i saw children coming home in coffins
millions marching on washington
and i asked when... is a revolution
i asked when... is a revolution
i asked when, when... is a revolution
i asked when... is a revolution
i heard promises become fables forgotten
i saw bridges stretchin' out across the water
and towers pushing taller
i knew my reality was clearly defined
by the fences put up around my mind
i watched them thicken into walls over time
taller than any boarder line
i saw civilizations deemed insignificant
i saw people's history tatooed on their skin
i saw families taken from their land
dynasties shattered and stolen
and i asked when... is a revolution
i asked when... is a revolution
in all the burdens of centuries accrue
that get passed along to every generation's youth
and all the allegories told in lieu of truth
i watched them grow wild and spread like the flu
i saw the rise of an untamed industry
i watched machines paint a paper economy
i saw my own self stand right in front of me
and i didn't do a thing
i saw poisons pushed in the street
and prescription pills mingling in the mezzanine
with a whole host of wealth of doctors and pharmaceutical companies
still poor people were dying from disease
and i asked when... is a revolution
i asked when... is a revolution
i asked when... is a revolution
i asked when... is a revolution

When You Feel It Lyrics – Brett Dennen
Momma got to worrying because her boy left home in a hurry again
Her photographs are fading, she keeps a box in the closet full of negatives
Well, I left a note on the floor in my room
I've always been stubborn and late to bloom
I had to lay down my load, my burdens are my own
It's a coming of age when you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
and I know, I know
I was longing on a short summer night when I had the urge to leave
I went out to find my muse with a eight in my pocket and a craving for some cajun blues
I was following my follies when I saw her aboard the river queen
I was courting my frail lady all the way to New Orleans
But I was swoon by a luminous tomb so I climbed the roof and gave that woman my croon
I had to tell her all I know, my business is my own
It's a coming of age when you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
And I know, I know
When you feel
When you feel it you know
When you feel
When you feel it you know
When you feel
When you feel it you know
When you feel
When you feel it
Well, mamma got to worrying she said "Now boy, I stay up late wondering where you been!
Oh, soon your gonna have to give in no you can't live forever the way that you been."
Oh, mamma I'm not trying to do not wrong I had to learn this is the way I get along
It's a life that I chose, my reasons are my own
It's a coming of age when you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
I know, I know
When you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
Her photographs are fading, she keeps a box in the closet full of negatives
Well, I left a note on the floor in my room
I've always been stubborn and late to bloom
I had to lay down my load, my burdens are my own
It's a coming of age when you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
and I know, I know
I was longing on a short summer night when I had the urge to leave
I went out to find my muse with a eight in my pocket and a craving for some cajun blues

It's a coming of age when you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
When you feel it you know
And I know, I know
When you feel
When you feel it you know
When you feel
When you feel it you know
When you feel
When you feel it you know
When you feel
When you feel it
Well, mamma got to worrying she said "Now boy, I stay up late wondering where you been!

So Long Sweet Misery Lyrics – Brett Dennen
So Long, my misery
I don't need you
you've only caused me grief
forgive me if I fall asleep
I haven't slept in centuries
Daylight lives like a burden for me
so I escape
sent it strewn about the street
beyond the ruins of my ancestry
far past the pages of my disbelief
I rose from my moat
like a ghost from a grave
sunken in the salty eyes of the wandering displaced
I was heading through the mist across the golden gate
all of my rebellions fall into the fog of fate
So long my misery
I don't need you
you've only caused me grief
forgive me if I fall asleep
I haven't slept in centuries
Spring time came again
and Icarus fell
I flew past the numb lipped nuns who'll never tell
the secrets of the sailors and their 7 year spell
I will not fall, nor will my wings ever melt
if I could I would wash all these wounds away
I would surround your room with a sense of mental grace
I would paint your portrait over everything mundane
more colorful than Easter Sunday
so long my misery
I don't need you
you've only caused me grief
forgive me if I fall asleep
I haven't slept in centuries
put me on a boat
leave my inhibitions at bay
my mind is spilling
but I haven't much to say
I was running through the canyons
pulse the echoes of your name
you were laughing at me like
the sun laughs at a flame
put me on a page in a book of beginnings
let me scroll me through old volumes of ancient teachings
let me reveal in all of these forgotten feelings
lay me with the wretched in the arms of my queen
so long sweet misery
I don't need you
you've only caused me grief
forgive me if I fall asleep
I haven't slept in centuries
[x2]
no I haven't slept in centuries
I haven't slept in centuries
I don't need you
you've only caused me grief
forgive me if I fall asleep
I haven't slept in centuries
Daylight lives like a burden for me
so I escape
sent it strewn about the street
beyond the ruins of my ancestry
far past the pages of my disbelief
I rose from my moat
like a ghost from a grave
sunken in the salty eyes of the wandering displaced
I was heading through the mist across the golden gate
all of my rebellions fall into the fog of fate
So long my misery
I don't need you
you've only caused me grief
forgive me if I fall asleep
I haven't slept in centuries
Spring time came again
and Icarus fell
I flew past the numb lipped nuns who'll never tell
the secrets of the sailors and their 7 year spell
I will not fall, nor will my wings ever melt
if I could I would wash all these wounds away
I would surround your room with a sense of mental grace
I would paint your portrait over everything mundane
more colorful than Easter Sunday
so long my misery
I don't need you
you've only caused me grief
forgive me if I fall asleep
I haven't slept in centuries
put me on a boat
leave my inhibitions at bay
my mind is spilling
but I haven't much to say
I was running through the canyons

put me on a page in a book of beginnings
let me scroll me through old volumes of ancient teachings
let me reveal in all of these forgotten feelings
lay me with the wretched in the arms of my queen
so long sweet misery
I don't need you
you've only caused me grief
forgive me if I fall asleep
I haven't slept in centuries
[x2]
no I haven't slept in centuries
I haven't slept in centuries
Someday Lyrics – Brett Dennen
Yeah
In the womb of winter, summer seems a myth
In my desperation I throw my faith into the wind
Born to a world where it is a fight just to fit in
From the cradle to the grave, it never ends
Someday, someday in a cloud of gray
I will, I'll make my great escape
So many ways to walk upon the earth
I trace my footsteps to the place of my birth
So what do you do with all your precious time
So many ways in which to reach for the sky
Someday, someday in a cloud of gray
I will, I'll make my great escape
Someday, someday in a cloud of gray
I will, I'll make my great escape
Say, little bit by little bit, someday
I may be weary but I am not weak
I can sing a song of suffering
Maybe a song unsung is dancing on the tip of your tongue
My salvation's ahead of me
I can feel it calling me
I know that I, I know that I will be ready
Someday, someday in a cloud of gray
I will, I'll make my great escape
Someday, someday in a cloud of gray
I will, I'll make my great escape
In the womb of winter, summer seems a myth
In my desperation I throw my faith into the wind
Born to a world where it is a fight just to fit in
From the cradle to the grave, it never ends
Someday, someday in a cloud of gray
I will, I'll make my great escape
So many ways to walk upon the earth
I trace my footsteps to the place of my birth
So what do you do with all your precious time
So many ways in which to reach for the sky
Someday, someday in a cloud of gray
I will, I'll make my great escape
Someday, someday in a cloud of gray
I will, I'll make my great escape
Say, little bit by little bit, someday
I may be weary but I am not weak
I can sing a song of suffering
Maybe a song unsung is dancing on the tip of your tongue
My salvation's ahead of me
I can feel it calling me
I know that I, I know that I will be ready
Someday, someday in a cloud of gray
I will, I'll make my great escape
Someday, someday in a cloud of gray
I will, I'll make my great escape
Can't Slow Down Lyrics – Brett Dennen
The highway bends like my lover's leg
Pulls me in like a wick draws a flame
She don't bother to remember my name
We don't talk of such things
I'll kiss you once
Baby, I'll kiss you twice
But I can't kiss you for the rest of your life
'Cause I'm not fit to be the man that makes you a wife
Baby, baby its just my foolish plight
Whatever road I may go down
If it bends, if it don't know how
I ain't stopped since I left my home town
And I can't slow down
I do what any man can to survive
Work a day or maybe even night
But I can't work inside for some 9-5
Honey not in this life
Whatever road I may go down
If it bends, if it don't know how
I ain't stopped since I left my hometown
And I can't slow down
Brown bodies
Bent at the waist
Frozen in a field as I drive by
In my unconscious pace
Freedom is not a state of mind
Nor is it a united state
Oh, and it sure ain't my escape
Whatever road I may go down
If it bends, if it don't know how
I ain't stopped since I left my hometown
And I can't slow down
No no no oh no
And I can't slow down
No oh no
Oh, lord
And I can't slow down
Pulls me in like a wick draws a flame
She don't bother to remember my name
We don't talk of such things
I'll kiss you once
Baby, I'll kiss you twice
But I can't kiss you for the rest of your life
'Cause I'm not fit to be the man that makes you a wife
Baby, baby its just my foolish plight
Whatever road I may go down
If it bends, if it don't know how
I ain't stopped since I left my home town
And I can't slow down
I do what any man can to survive
Work a day or maybe even night
But I can't work inside for some 9-5
Honey not in this life
Whatever road I may go down
If it bends, if it don't know how
I ain't stopped since I left my hometown
And I can't slow down
Brown bodies
Bent at the waist
Frozen in a field as I drive by
In my unconscious pace
Freedom is not a state of mind
Nor is it a united state
Oh, and it sure ain't my escape
Whatever road I may go down
If it bends, if it don't know how
I ain't stopped since I left my hometown
And I can't slow down
No no no oh no
And I can't slow down
No oh no
Oh, lord
And I can't slow down
Fig Tree Lyrics – Brett Dennen
Oh baby won't you come with me
I'll tell you where I'm going
Over the meadow, down by the stream
Under the shade of a fig tree
So won't you come along
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't take long
It won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me
Shake it mama, shake
Shake me up in my tree
Well, shake me up in my tree
Oh the sunlight streaks across the meadow
Comes speaking through the canopy
The shadow suggests the shape of my interests
Under your fig leaf
So won't you come along
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't take long
It won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me
Shake it mama, shake
Shake me up in my tree
Shake me up in my tree
Mmm
Alright
So won't you come a long
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't take long
It won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me, baby
Shake it mama, shake
Shake me up in my tree
Yes, shake me up in my tree
Uprooting's heavy on the tree
And nature has been good to thee
You've been sittin' pretty with your prudence on your paw swingin'
I've been barking up the wrong tree
So won't you come along
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't, and it won't
And it won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me, baby
Shake it mama shake
Shake me up in my tree
Oh, shake me up in my tree
Shake me up in my tree
I'll tell you where I'm going
Over the meadow, down by the stream
Under the shade of a fig tree
So won't you come along
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't take long
It won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me
Shake it mama, shake
Shake me up in my tree
Well, shake me up in my tree
Oh the sunlight streaks across the meadow
Comes speaking through the canopy
The shadow suggests the shape of my interests
Under your fig leaf
So won't you come along
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't take long
It won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me
Shake it mama, shake
Shake me up in my tree
Shake me up in my tree
Mmm
Alright
So won't you come a long
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't take long
It won't take long

Shake it mama, shake
Shake me up in my tree
Yes, shake me up in my tree
Uprooting's heavy on the tree
And nature has been good to thee
You've been sittin' pretty with your prudence on your paw swingin'

Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade

And it won't, and it won't
And it won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me, baby
Shake it mama shake
Shake me up in my tree
Oh, shake me up in my tree
Shake me up in my tree

Blessed Lyrics – Brett Dennen
I welcome the sun
The clouds and rain
The wind that sweeps the sky clean and lets the sun shine again
This is the most magnificent life has ever been
Here is heaven and earth and the brilliant sky inbetween
Blessed is this life and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
I dwell in the darkness
I let in the light
I sleep in the afternoon and become the noise in the night
I trespass in temptation suffer in sacrifice
But I awake each day with the new sunrise
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
The clouds and rain

This is the most magnificent life has ever been
Here is heaven and earth and the brilliant sky inbetween
Blessed is this life and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
I dwell in the darkness
I let in the light
I sleep in the afternoon and become the noise in the night
I trespass in temptation suffer in sacrifice
But I awake each day with the new sunrise
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Desert Sunrise Lyrics – Brett Dennen
A desert sunrise, you warm my soul
painting me in shades of clay
covering me whole
and I'm a lizard, sunbathing in your radiance
Oh, I come out of hiding, so sweet
so sweet you are
if I could only have a taste
wrap my lips around your flavor
just because you are you
just because you are, so beautiful
and I've been waiting all this life
in the company of one
and I know I am young
but I don't want to be alone
if you could only just
consider the two of us
and I know darling
I could be so good to you
I see you rising
on the horizon
bringing light into the day
and I'm coasting on your rays
when I awoke, you spoke through the mist of the mystic bliss
casting shadows
on all my dismal yesterdays
do you remember that you told me, darling
that I was so real
I tell you all my tears for you are real
and we'll cross that bridge again some day
I know we will
I hope we will
desert sunset, a lullaby
if I could give it all to you
if you'd only let me try
sing so sweetly, it's my only wish
music drips from your lips like sweet sips of a summer's kiss
summer raindrops are precious, tongues twist
and I've been waiting all this life
in the company of one
and I know I am young
but I don't want to be alone
if you could only just
consider the two of us
I know darling
I could be so good to you
I see you rising, on the horizon
bringing light into the day
and I'm coasting on your rays
when I awoke and you spoke through the mist of a mystic bliss
casting shadows
on all my dismal yesterdays
do you remember that you told me, darling
that I was so real
I tell you all my tears for you are real
we'll cross that bridge again some day
I know we will
I hope we will
desert moonrise, into the night
before we lay our heads
I wish to walk under the splendorous starlight
sing so sweetly, it's the sweetest sound
and I've become weak in the knees
and I drop down and kiss the ground
and all my cares lie far below
in this earth I wish to die
in this hearth my fire grows
painting me in shades of clay
covering me whole
and I'm a lizard, sunbathing in your radiance
Oh, I come out of hiding, so sweet
so sweet you are
if I could only have a taste
wrap my lips around your flavor
just because you are you
just because you are, so beautiful
and I've been waiting all this life
in the company of one
and I know I am young

All We Have Lyrics – Brett Dennen
All we have is love
oh, we're growing
faster than we ever could have dreamed
and our bellies are bulging
we're gonna burst right through our seams
it's got us all in competition
for wealth and recognition
globalization I say's a contradiction
for we can't keep paving over this world
we won't all fit in
all that we have is hope and love
so don't you worry child
don't you worry 'bout a thing
(in the night?)
but those can lift us up
so we can rise above
so we can rise above
and all that we have is hope and love
so don't you worry child
don't you worry 'bout a thing
(in the night?)
but those can lift us up
so we can rise
so we can rise above the madness
and there's enough wealth for everyone
but some have the most
and most have some
and there's enough food for us all to flourish
tell me why are so many malnourished
you say this weakness in an empty pocket, no
and I'll tell you this weakness in an empty heart
and you say there's strength in the power to control
and I'll tell you no, there's strength in only love and compassion
all that we have is hope and love
so don't you worry child
don't you worry 'bout a thing
(in the night?)
but those can lift us up
so we can rise above
so we can rise above
and all that we have is hope and love
so don't you worry child
don't you worry 'bout a thing
(in the night?)
but those can lift us up
so we can rise
so we can rise above the madness
soon we'll find our own way home
'cause we all need a little healing sometimes
soon we'll find our own way home
'cause we all need a little healing
so give love
it's the only thing that heals you
come on sisters, give it to your brothers
so give love
it's the only thing that heals you
cause we all need a little healing
so give love it's the only thing that heals you
come on brothers, give it to your sisters
so give love it's the only thing that heals you
'cause we all need a little healing
and I can rest to show you that love will always cure you
no matter what your sickness is
no matter what hurts you
so give love it's the only thing that cures you
we all need a little healing
and if you give it, I have learned
it'll all be returned
if you only give love
if you only just give your love
all that we have is hope and love
so don't you worry child
don't you worry 'bout a thing
(in the night?)
but those can lift us up
so we can rise above
so we can rise above
and all that we have is hope and love

no matter what your sickness is
no matter what hurts you
so give love it's the only thing that cures you
we all need a little healing
and if you give it, I have learned
it'll all be returned
if you only give love
if you only just give your love
all that we have is hope and love
so don't you worry child
don't you worry 'bout a thing
(in the night?)
but those can lift us up
so we can rise above
so we can rise above
and all that we have is hope and love
so don't you worry child
don't you worry 'bout a thing
(in the night?)
but those can lift us up
so we can rise
so we can rise above the madness
By & By Lyrics – Brett Dennen
Listen close, as close as I am to you
like the bell of liberty, I'll ring a sound that's true
and days go by and seasons too
in time our love may digress with the words we can renew
oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life
and I know words can be the worst to pervey
how it is I feel for you, it's hard for me to say
but if we keep it simple, I think it's better that way
tingled words tend to lead my messages astray
oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life
this web we weave
holds us hand in hand
and if we loosen our grips
we may weaken these strands
so lets reinforce our love and let it echo through the land
and if we don't we may find ourselves washed up with the sand
oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life
like the bell of liberty, I'll ring a sound that's true
and days go by and seasons too
in time our love may digress with the words we can renew
oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life
and I know words can be the worst to pervey
how it is I feel for you, it's hard for me to say
but if we keep it simple, I think it's better that way
tingled words tend to lead my messages astray
oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life
this web we weave
holds us hand in hand
and if we loosen our grips
we may weaken these strands
so lets reinforce our love and let it echo through the land
and if we don't we may find ourselves washed up with the sand
oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life
Make The Most Lyrics – Brett Dennen
And in the morning, when I rise
one question, that feels like the sun in my eyes
am I making the most of this life?
so much trouble and so much strife
and in my guilty hour
through all of my shame
when all my love is run sour
I have no one else to blame
cause it finds me through the mask I wear
and I see it through it my eyes closed
but still I can not bare to stare into my worries and my woes
theres comfort in self loathing and its easy to slip into it
but still I must learn to lead my life with no regrets
all the time it all moves in the same direction
so don't let it pass you by
because It moves so fast, theres no time for perfection
so make the most of this life
make the most of this life, uh
make the most of this life
make the most of this life
and when I fall I fall hard
and I dwell to often in my falls
I must accept it and move on
theres just no shame in having to crawl
cause it finds me through the mask I wear,
and I see it through it my eyes closed,
but still I can not bare to stare into my worries and my woes,
theres comfort in self loathing and its easy to slip into it
but still I must learn to lead my life with no regrets,
all the time, it all moves in the same direction,
so don't let it pass you by,
because It moves so fast, theres no time for perfection,
so make the most of this life, oh
make the most of this life, oh
make the most of this life
just make the most of this life
and if you come to me smiling
oh I, will see you shining out from within
such a beautiful grin aw
falling down on me and freckling my skin
wake I am pour I a cup of
wake I am pour I a cup
wake I am pour I a cup of life
one question, that feels like the sun in my eyes
am I making the most of this life?

Don't Forget Lyrics – Brett Dennen
Don't forget, don't forget
mhmm
that I believe in you
should you forget
should you forget
let me remind
that I am behind you
you were a secret, waiting to be found out
soon be what everyone is talking about
may you spread your love like laughter
find whatever you're after
open all your windows and let the music spill out
don't forget, don't forget
that I believe in you
should you forget
should you forget
let me remind you
that I am behind
may you dance like rain upon a still lake
you make this world a beautiful place
no more crying, don't shun your light, keep shining
wipe your tears from your sweet face
don't forget, don't forget
that I believe in you
should you forget
should you forget
let me remind you
that I am behind
don't be afraid should things happen to change
'cause change can be a beautiful thing
should things fall apart
be patient like a rainbow
life is loving and letting go

Just Like The Moon Lyrics – Brett Dennen
I believe that you were born during an eclipse
and the stars named you moon child
Then you come you rise into my sky
you stepped in front of my sun and it makes the whole world dark.
And you light up the night
just like the moon
just like the moon you light up the night
and sometimes,
sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
but I'm hoping
I'm hoping for a full moon tonight.
Laid back and I'm restless in the daytime
and I'm chased by these shadows
oh thay're haunting me
then you come with nighttimes' wooly blanket
and you wrap me like a child
who's been in the rain too long.
and you light up the night
just like the moon just like the moon
you light up the night
and sometimes
sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
but I'm hoping
I'm hoping for a full moon tonight.
Oh I've chased the moon
you know I've tried
and each time I tried
each time I failed
and each time I get so down on myself
and I can't stand this pace of a snail
while the rest of the world...
You know I, I know I
know I know that I can
probably never be the same
cause you light up the night
just like the moon
just like the moon you light up the night
and sometimes
sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
but I'm hoping
I'm hoping for a full moon tonight
and in the night
I can feel you love light shinning bright
falling down on me like autumn leaves
and in the night
I can see you shinning bright
tell me how am I supposed to fall asleep
and in the night
I can see your love light shinning bright
falling down on me like autumn leaves
and in the night
I can see you shinning bright
tell me how am I supposed to fall asleep.
and the stars named you moon child
Then you come you rise into my sky
you stepped in front of my sun and it makes the whole world dark.
And you light up the night
just like the moon
just like the moon you light up the night
and sometimes,
sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
but I'm hoping
I'm hoping for a full moon tonight.
Laid back and I'm restless in the daytime
and I'm chased by these shadows
oh thay're haunting me
then you come with nighttimes' wooly blanket
and you wrap me like a child
who's been in the rain too long.
and you light up the night
just like the moon just like the moon
you light up the night
and sometimes
sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
but I'm hoping
I'm hoping for a full moon tonight.
Oh I've chased the moon
you know I've tried
and each time I tried
each time I failed
and each time I get so down on myself
and I can't stand this pace of a snail
while the rest of the world...
You know I, I know I
know I know that I can
probably never be the same
cause you light up the night
just like the moon
just like the moon you light up the night
and sometimes
sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
but I'm hoping
I'm hoping for a full moon tonight
and in the night
I can feel you love light shinning bright
falling down on me like autumn leaves
and in the night
I can see you shinning bright
tell me how am I supposed to fall asleep
and in the night
I can see your love light shinning bright
falling down on me like autumn leaves
and in the night
I can see you shinning bright
tell me how am I supposed to fall asleep.
When I Go Lyrics – Brett Dennen
Hold this heart when I go
sing my song when I go
sing it loud when I go
sing it proud when I go
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly
but I know they'd all be yearning to fly
when my, when my, when my soul
takes leave of this world
when I leave this flesh and these bones
oh I swear to you that you wont have to go alone
Hold this heart when I go
sing my song when I go
sing it loud when I go
sing it proud when I go
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly
but i know they'd all be yearning to fly
the first time my heart collided with yours
I know I felt the ocean tickle the Earth's sandy shores
but changes come and we all know that we can't, we can't stop them
but I hold these memories and I will never drop them
and I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
oh my care will cover you just like the moon can do
I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
oh my care will cover you just like the moon can do
Hold this heart when I go
sing my song when I go
sing it loud when I go
sing it proud when I go
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly
but i know they'd all be yearning to fly
oh the thought of death has yet to make me afraid
'cause I will march right off this world into the next like its a grand parade
but if you feel lonely just like you want to run and hide
then I'll wrap my wings around you and give you strength and I wont leave your side
and I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
oh, my care will cover you just like the moon'll do
I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
you know I'd love to get to heaven
you know I'd love to see the view
but first I think I'll stay and watch over you
oh, I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
sing my song when I go
sing it loud when I go
sing it proud when I go
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly
but I know they'd all be yearning to fly
when my, when my, when my soul
takes leave of this world
when I leave this flesh and these bones
oh I swear to you that you wont have to go alone
Hold this heart when I go
sing my song when I go
sing it loud when I go
sing it proud when I go
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly
but i know they'd all be yearning to fly
the first time my heart collided with yours
I know I felt the ocean tickle the Earth's sandy shores
but changes come and we all know that we can't, we can't stop them
but I hold these memories and I will never drop them
and I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
oh my care will cover you just like the moon can do
I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
oh my care will cover you just like the moon can do
Hold this heart when I go
sing my song when I go
sing it loud when I go
sing it proud when I go
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and

Nothing Lasts Forever Lyrics – Brett Dennen
I saw you spiraling
I saw you spinning back in time
through all your memories
such a quiet disease
you had forgotten me
but I'll always remember you dancing
across the kitchen in your orange handkerchief
such a quiet disease
I pray that when you dream you would remember everything
you know it all comes back to you
in one conscience dream
maybe you'd sing and put words to all the things
that you think of in a day
but forgotten how to say
nothing last forever
not even the mountains
someday they will be swept away and swallowed by the sea
we all shall be blessedly released
life is so precious it's as fragile as a dream
and in a moment we all grow our wings
I wish to sing as if no ones listening
I wish to dance as if no one is watching
I wish to dance as if no one is watching
and I, give thanks for my dreams
you can rob me of my sight
and you can poison my blood stream
but as long as I can dream then life is worth living
nothing last forever
not even the mountains
someday they will be swept away and swallowed by the sea
we all shall be blessedly released
nothing last forever
not even the sun
for all we know it could have burned out light years ago
darkness remains the hardest thing for us to outrun
I saw you spinning back in time
through all your memories
such a quiet disease
you had forgotten me
but I'll always remember you dancing
across the kitchen in your orange handkerchief
such a quiet disease
I pray that when you dream you would remember everything
you know it all comes back to you
in one conscience dream
maybe you'd sing and put words to all the things
that you think of in a day
but forgotten how to say
nothing last forever
not even the mountains
someday they will be swept away and swallowed by the sea
we all shall be blessedly released
life is so precious it's as fragile as a dream
and in a moment we all grow our wings
I wish to sing as if no ones listening
I wish to dance as if no one is watching
I wish to dance as if no one is watching
and I, give thanks for my dreams
you can rob me of my sight
and you can poison my blood stream
but as long as I can dream then life is worth living
nothing last forever
not even the mountains
someday they will be swept away and swallowed by the sea
we all shall be blessedly released
nothing last forever
not even the sun
for all we know it could have burned out light years ago
darkness remains the hardest thing for us to outrun
Oh The Glorious Lyrics – Brett Dennen
After all these tears have dried
these knots are gonna come untied
and when I climb down from this tree
to walk on land will be so heavenly
and if I don't know what to do
oh, I swear I won't follow any of you
because all thats wanted by us
to lay our tracks in the settling dust
all that's wanted by us
mhmm, is the glorious
and I've been loved inside a heart for years
and I'm breaking out
I'm busting rims
and I'm led blinding through the light of day
and I know now that none of you fools know the way
none of you fools know the way
when my words are rehearsed and clear
may I speak loud enough for everyone to hear
and when my arrow flies straight and true
may it pierce the clouds soar through on through
and when I gain the strength to make a move
I'll drift above and sail away from this cold wet ground
because all that's wanted by us
is to lay our tracks in the settling dust
all that's wanted by us
mhmm, is the glorious
and I've been loved inside a heart for years
and I'm breaking out
I'm busting rims
it's time for me to go off on my own
you can tell them that this child has grown
tell them that this child has grown
these knots are gonna come untied
and when I climb down from this tree
to walk on land will be so heavenly
and if I don't know what to do
oh, I swear I won't follow any of you
because all thats wanted by us
to lay our tracks in the settling dust
all that's wanted by us
mhmm, is the glorious
and I've been loved inside a heart for years
and I'm breaking out
I'm busting rims
and I'm led blinding through the light of day
and I know now that none of you fools know the way
none of you fools know the way
when my words are rehearsed and clear
may I speak loud enough for everyone to hear
and when my arrow flies straight and true
may it pierce the clouds soar through on through
and when I gain the strength to make a move
I'll drift above and sail away from this cold wet ground
because all that's wanted by us
is to lay our tracks in the settling dust
all that's wanted by us
mhmm, is the glorious
and I've been loved inside a heart for years
and I'm breaking out
I'm busting rims
it's time for me to go off on my own
you can tell them that this child has grown
tell them that this child has grown
