Low

Son como los violinistas del Titanic.

[1] Always Fade

Come clean and off with your head
The streams of bright rosy red
Your heart will do the rest
And you'll always fade
You'll always fade
Someday you'll change
But you'll always fade

Cut free the weight on your neck
The screams, the clutching of breast
So sorry about the mess
But you'll always fade
You'll always fade
Someday you'll change
But you'll always fade

[2] Amazing Grace

I knew this girl when I was young
She took her spikes from everyone
One night she swallowed up the lake
That's how you sing amazing grace

Amazing grace (x2)

It sounds like razors in my ears
That bell's been ringing now for years
Someday I'll give it all away
That's how you sing amazing grace

Oh, can you hear that sweet, sweet sound?
Yeah, I was lost but now I'm found
Sometimes there's nothing left to save
That's how you sing amazing grace

Amazing grace (x3)
That's how you sing amazing grace

[3] Home

And the light, it burns your skin
In a language you don't understand

It's not that hard (x2)

That's not all
Voices small
Heed them either way they call

Two-step around the room
Kneel down on white (x2)
Two-step around the room
You can kneel down on white (x2)

That's not all
Voices small
Heed them either way they call

And the light, it burns your skin
In a language you don't understand

[4] Dust on the window

Dust on the window
Sun's darkened angle
Write your initials with mine
By this time tomorrow
I'll be just one day closer
One sunset further behind
In the morning I'll make up my mind

Always a whisper
Worthless and tender
Breaking my arm that won't heal
Lie like a shadow
Breath on my pillow
Won't let me keep what I steal
Tell me where can a girl get a meal?

[5] Dragonfly

We took our pills
It changed the world
We had our fill
But when we realized
That we were dragonflies
We knew we had to try
To find a way to get more pills
Maybe you're right [x2]
Oh dragonfly
Your thousand eyes
What do they see?
The lights of history
Some things should never be
Why do we even try?
There's no such thing
As dragonfly pills
Maybe you're right [x2]
Oh dragonfly
Maybe you're right

[6] Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me (Cover)

Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

So, tell me how long
Before the last one ?
And tell me how long
Before the right one ?

The story is old - I know
But it goes on (x2)

Oh, goes on
And on (x2)

[7] Lullaby

Cross over and turn
feel the spot don't let it burn
we all want we all yearn
be soft don't be stern

Lullaby
was not supposed to make you cry
I sang the words I meant
I sang

[8] Back home again

There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in,
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders.
There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away,
the whining of his wheels just makes it colder.
He's an hour away from riding on your prayers up in the sky
and ten days on the road are barely gone.
There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove,
but it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm.
Hey, it's good to be back home again.
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend.
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again.
There's all the news to tell him, how's you spend your time,
and what's the latest thing the neighbors say?
And your mother called last Friday, 'Sunshine' made her cry
and you felt the baby move just yesterday.
Hey, it's good to be back home again.
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend.
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again.
Oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down,
and feel your fingers feather soft upon me.
The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way,
the happiness that living with you brings me.
It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you.
It's the little things that make a house a home.
Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove,
the light in your eyes that makes me warm.
Hey, it's good to be back home again.
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend.
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again.
Hey, it's good to be back home again.
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend.
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again.
I said hey, it's good to be back home again.

[9] Closer

Hold me closer than that (x2)
How'd we get here so fast?
Hold me closer than that

On a dark, raging sea
Ships lay sleeping beneath
Overhead, spinning past
Hold me closer than that

Things we lost in the fire
How'd we ever get by?
Words will never take back
Hold me closer than that

Hold me closer than that (x2)
How'd we get here so fast?
Hold me closer than that

La la la la

[10] July

Wait -- it's late
We've missed the date
Gone, I guess
With the rest, the rest

They'll never wake us in time (x2)
Maybe we'll wait 'til July

Now -- at last
I hear them pass
Gone, I guess
With the rest, the rest

They'll never wake us in time (x2)
Maybe we'll wait 'til July
Then August, September
October, November or December

La la, la la la

[11] Embrace

Holding my head for the last of race
Pushing my body to get that embrace
It won't last -- hold on fast (x2)

Breathing in time, so hard to trace
Crushing your skull with my warming embrace
It won't last -- hold on fast (x2)

I fell down the stairs
I wished I were dead
You ran for the light
He handed me your head
It won't last -- hold on fast (x2)
