Something Unusual

and you're something unusual
you make me feel beautiful
you're something, that's hard to find
you make me feel like i'm not wasting all your time
and you're something precise and rare
there's a humming of birds whenever you're there
there's a fearlessness, though not its pride
there's nothing, around you, i feel i need to hide
so maybe if you're different
maybe if you're scared
so maybe if you're waiting here for someone
else, well i'll be there
so maybe if you're taken
with dreams of long lost times
but you grew up too soon
and nobody's out there
waiting to treat you right
well darling i'll treat you right
well maybe i'll treat you right
i'll try my best to treat you right
and you're something mostly improbable
you look at me, as if i'm lovable
you're a poem that, somehow speaks truth
though you say, without pause, i'm everything, when i'm with you
and there are seas, and storms we've touched
there are terrors, whenever we're faced with trust
there are breaks, where we've found bone
and you're someone, like me, who always felt alone
but maybe if you're different
maybe if you're scared
so maybe if you're here, waiting for someone
else, well i'll be there
so maybe if you're taken
with dreams of long lost times
but you grew up too soon, and nobody's out there,
waiting to treat you right
well darling i'll treat you right
well maybe i'll treat you right
i'll try my best to treat you right
et même si tu est ma coeur
et même si tu me trouves pas trop pauvre ou peur
et même si tu souhaitez, de restez ici
peut etre, ca, c'est beaucoup trop, pour mas faible vie

When the Sky Comes Down

this rivers black and rising
from bow to stern this hull is slipping low
its slipping low
our eyes are out for mainland
but we can't see a damn thing from this hold
from this hold
we walked on this sea
and didn't see is ice beaneath
we stepped onto clouds
and didn't think that we'd fall down
we built, up with sand
but now the flood has come to take this land
to take this land
but now the sky's come down
a final song to quiet sound
the sky's come down my friend
and now the dark's grown tall
they've lost the song to sing the call
the dark's come down my friend
ooo ooo
and reavers are a prowling
they're picking through the wreckage on the path
on the path
there's fire lined for miles
there's ash in both our lungs but we won't choke
no we won't choke
we'll walk on this sea
and will not feel the ice beaneath
we'll step onto clouds
and never think that we'll fall down
we'll built, up with sand
but never will the flood come to take this land
come take this land
but when the sky comes down
a final song to quiet sound
all skies come down my friend
and when the dark's grown tall
and we've lost the song to sing the call
when the dark's come down my friend
how will we end?

Where You Will Find Me

when this house has collapsed, and they're grazing in the front yard
when these dams have been swept into their seas
when the great lakes are full, with the millions these days missing
that's where you will find me
and when the rainforests stand, and these great engines burning
when extinctions only something madmen dream
when every child sleeps on stomachs never hungry
that's where you will find me
so close my eyes
so let me stay there
so let me breathe a better world in
where somehow we'll survive this scene
where you will find me
and when clocks aren't running days, and bank's aren't saving morals
when the lines on our maps have gone to sleep
when tabloids are ashamed, and politicians honest
that's where you will find me
and when shells aren't raining down, and their victims hidden
when our soldiers, finally have their peace
when the poor have a voice, and the rich the will to listen
that's where, you will find me
so close my eyes
so let me stay there
so let me breathe a better world in
where somehow we'll survive this scene
where you will find me
when these machines on the radio, aren't spitting in our faces
when every hero lives up to the dream
when every story's great, and every teller listened
that's where you will find me
When this house has collapsed, and they're grazing in the front yard
when each other, is all we really need
when victims are repaired, and bullies are imprisoned
that's where you will find me
that's where you will find me
that's where you will find me
that's where you will find me

so go on, go to bed
close, your eyes and dream
no one will be watching you
quiet, as you sleep
and this winter will go
the trees will find their leaves
and no one will be keeping you
from dreaming all your silvery evening dreams
no ones going to hurt you when you sleep
so rest, upon these clouds
these vapours, as they change
and if they fall this evening
you'll just find land again
and your ocean will be crossed
your ship, will find its shore
and there, they'll all be waiting
and all the songs you sung will sing once more
you'll be safe in these dreams
and no ones going to hurt you when you sleep
and every river has its shallows
and we will always make mistakes
but these dont have to do
its all just doors we choose
and every locks a lock to break
so go on, go to bed
close, your eyes and dream
no one will be watching you
safe, as you sleep
and these, stones will go
for every beach has sea
and no one will be keeping you
from dreaming as your slip out into dreams
no ones going to hurt you when you sleep
yes no ones going to hurt you when you sleep
