I could climb a mountain And breathe in a different altitude With all of this anxiety in me I think about you daily And I think about you nightly I miss both the colors of the sea The water flows and lava streams As I dwell upon my torturous dreams I cannot stop my mind from circling I love you so, don't let me go I know you love me too, I know But the days pass so slow when you're not here All of this time To make sad and lonesome rhymes With my hand sharpened pencil and mind I feel like I'm betraying you Cause I'm afraid of what you do But please know I trust you, I'm just insecure You're my love around the world Well, when you come back, stay And please pirate don't say That my heart was raided on the waves I love you, you're my light And I know we're wrapped up tight But for once you cannot light this cave
2.
Can I tell you, can I tell you Can I tell you what has come and what has gone In the city, in the meadows In the hills lay the Fire and the Frost Oh my heart it has its differences It was red but now I see it's turning blue And my head it starts regretting Things I should have done but wouldn't have been just as fun But oh how you looked at me In that dark steady night The moon shining down on me I don't know what is right, I don't know what is wrong or what is right There's no reason for each season There's no meaning to which way that you are leaning Used to muse me, now you just confuse me When you take me in and suddenly shut me out
3.
Just like you came, you left without a name You left without a number to call You aren't there in your eyes through your hair There's no you, no you there at all Did I do wrong, am I not strong Am I just not what you need It didn't hurt, until I found the dirt In the cut that you left me to bleed Thirty two songs for you Forty if you're counting slow I was so good to you I was the best to you Why is it the door that you show Well run run run Little girl in the sun Forget what you said Regret what you've done Believe in yourself Cause now there's no one else To win you the way that I won He's a fucking asshole And believe me girl You're no better than he is If you're doing him the way you did me
4.
Yes I will walk on down to the river mouth And I'll see all the pretty flowers blooming in the south As I smell all the perfume of the lilies of the trees I shall not be afraid of holed up bees I will set sail upon my purple pirate ship Singing songs with my crew no fear of windy whips And if they come I'll sit them down and discuss over tea The status and general happiness of each other's trees Oh, oh, oh The pale moon laughter Oh, oh, oh The morning after Oh, oh, oh I will do what I see And I will fly my helicopter full of angry seals Bitching and moaning about the neighboring eels Into the garden where I know someday I'll be Remembering my days with the seals neath the sea
5.
Mighty mighty mountain Meets the end of her Time we spend with her Mighty mighty masses Greet the friends of her As they meet the turn Live a life of laughing Life of leading Life of learning too And even after passing She's still blasting Her windy tunes But mighty mother mountain will never let go So long as we still put on a good show She was so proud, as we were so loud When we Come Together, yeah
6.
I will jump through the hoops That are lit up with fire and ice And I'll tear you away From the place that is ridden with lice My back upon my shoulder My legs on top of hips All on a quest for one special kiss I'd sing only songs about love But I'd bore my onlookers I'd walk through the streets that are filled With the crackheads and hookers I keep walking west while the earth it moves east To show that I can fight all of the monsters and the beasts I want to walk upon your sea An article centerfold magazine A line in your book, just three or four words But three of the best that you ever did heard The weight of the world makes the coal That we pray turns to diamonds I hurt my guitar so that I can Make something I love And I'd vanquish all my enemies, my foot upon their chests Only to show you that I love you the best
7.
Five foot two Eyes of blue And I know that she's better than you Cause she's gone and broke my heart in two My Little Indie Girlfriend Well she don't know what she do to me When she looks at me up against the sea Look out girls cause you'll never be My Little Indie Girlfriend But sundress girl up against the wall Looks like you've just had a fall Me too babe, why don't we fuck 'em all Be my little indie girlfriend My new little indie girlfriend
8.
Lay down your head upon my shoulder Draw me into your pretty mind I'll get you to sing before the evening's over When all is alright, when all is aligned Bring me on down to where we connect Down by the river, on board the deck Of my little sailboat with you my first mate I am your carp and you are my bait Play sleepy painter upon your new light Sing for your sailor into the night Who are we to question what's wrong and what's right We're simply human's my pretty paper kite Now that we've sang the night is still young And when all's said and done you're still my only one Bodies are empty without love But our hearts are still beating in skies up above
