Little white house in the oak trees Anchored my childish heart In an otherwise troubled sea Banner of oak and tobacco smoke Cheap green shingles held down with tar But that little house was hallowed ground to me And we didn’t know it wouldn’t last We didn’t know it wouldn’t last for good In summertime the rooms were filled with music In the fall we spilled out onto the lawn Oh barefoot children didn’t know we were livin’ in a moment Time had already forgot Didn’t know it couldn’t last Kids don’t you know we’re living in the short term Only passing through Hey kids don’t know you we’re living in the short term

There’s fire in the cathedral Ashes flyin’ up And broken hallelujahs on the floor Centuries of stories Glory of dying men Floating up to heaven floating up And I can’t sing a love song Strangers on the streets A look a laugh a little bit closer Child of suffering You’ll come to find it’s only for a little while Blood rushing thru my skin I fell in into the belly of the beast And it wasn’t the first time Time comes for every man Are you worried you’ll be standing alone With the devil holding hands Child of grace and peace Lift your voice singing hallelujah a little bit a little bit louder now

Woman In The Woods

There’s a lot of ways to love someone And more to get it wrong Can we grant ourselves a little grace And write a sad love song? Oh brother can you hear me? Or is your heart fast asleep? Do you hear your sister calling you With every passing beat? I didn’t know I loved you I fell in deep Couldn’t say I missed you With the whole world listening Would you be my friend? Don’t turn around and leave I couldn’t say I missed you The whole world’s listening Bound to earth and made of dust In the flesh we’d kill to keep The fire and the blood fights against all we should be

Will you find your way to the chapel? Everybody knows Is it just a broomstick revival? Could it be the wrong way we’re leaving? I don’t think we’ll make it to heaven Throw me a lasso Hold on tell me everything’s fine I’m busted and broken Oh can we turn back the tide? Did you find your way to religion? Did it break the heart you’ve been given? Babe we took the long way around here I don’t think we’ll make it through here

I won’t stop you I’ll stand still And watch you run away from me But that’s not how it’s supposed to be I’ll be standing still right here Til you come running home to me ‘Cause that’s who I’m supposed to be Where did you fall down? Where did you fall down? I didn’t know you cared so much You kept on running as fast as you could But I don’t mind it I’m right here So go on and run As far as you can I won’t let go holding onto your hand right here Cause that’s who I’m supposed to be I won’t stop you I’ll stay still Where did you fall down? Where did we fall down? Where did we fall down? You didn’t know I cared so much I know you’re right here Go on and run as far as I can You won’t let go you’re holding onto my hand You’re right here

Turned out the lights Shut the door And threw my clothes on the floor And I fell asleep I can’t find myself No I can’t find myself Awake my love don’t give up now Hold on Awake my love Push it down don’t cause a scene Everybody’s listening to your answers They wrote a script for you and me You told me ‘I can’t find myself’ You said ‘ I can’t find myself’ Awake my love don’t give up now

Love why are you cryin’? You take life too hard Fallen far from grace See the lines drawn across your face I’ll move a mountain for you Never gonna leave you alone Til this life is through Boy you’re the sun I’m the moon Til this world is til this world is through Darlin’ you’re my whole world Don’t go and leave me behind I haven’t been myself Feeling lost and I need some help Girl you’re the sun I’m the moon til this world is though All my love gave you all my love

What I wanted was a simple kind of friend But what I got was an enemy What I needed was a simple kind of love But what we had was a tragedy Well I guess I'd know if I was wrong But you keep on throwin' all them stones Oh you met me with a smile and a kiss We both know the way the story goes it don't end like this Oh you sold me for that silver and gold Now you're body's shaking up Babe you're losing control Don't tell me it's the wrong way baby You've been looking on And listening for far too long Without liking what you hear

You said you'd always love me On the day by the lake when we said 'I do' For better for worse til heartbreak city I've been everywhere with you So tell me what's wrong Maybe I'll get it right this time I know what you're thinking And you know you're wrong Do you feel what I'm feeling? Sorry my words are so strong Seems like maybe we're falling out of love But it's too late too late Don't walk away from us I keep tryin' to tell you something But the rhythm of our days just won't cooperate We're too fast too tough And I'm not enough to keep your sanity going
