It will be, it is, it was
The years to come, to end and leave
That I will live and weave
Here a canvas blank again
Ready to be painted new
By people who’ll keep passing through
And seasons that will change
I have learned all my lessons
I could fit in a year
I have heard everything I was brave enough to hear
Now each season I’ve lived through seems so clear
Teaching things new to me
That I keep very near
Teaching things new to me
That I keep very dear
It will be, it is, it was
The years to come, to end and leave
That I will live and weave
Here a canvas blank again
Ready to be painted new
By people who’ll keep passing through
And seasons that will change
I have learned all my lessons
I could fit in a year
I have heard everything I was brave enough to hear
Now each season I’ve lived through seems so clear
Teaching things new to me
That I keep very near
Teaching things new to me
That I keep very dear
It will be, it is, it was
It will be, it is, it was
It will be, it is, it was

The Well
05:03

A child licks the window of a candy store
From being told that getting less
Will come from wanting more
A ball is kicked to fill the sky
So empty in its grey
The more I want the sun to come
The less it tends to stay
But the years they dry up quickly
From the well we drink the past
As we search for what we wanted
For what we were scared to ask
Oh, what can I want now
Oh, what will I get
Oh, what can I want now
Oh, what will I get
Will I get it?
I take his hand to keep him close
Where his kisses deep reside
Will wanting more now get me less
If time has left my side
My years of drought are ending
And I’d like to fill anew
A well of dreams and lovers
That have finally come true
Or will this be the final drop
I ache for in the past
I think I’ll sit and wait to thank
And know to never ask
Oh, what can I want now
Oh, what will I get
Oh, what can I want now
Oh, what will I get
I'll never get it
Will I get it?
I think I'll get it

Lifetime of a Year

He trails the most beautiful leaves on her way home
Orange, yellow, and red
Silver, copper, gold
And she wonders why Fall's the most beautiful season
For the earth is as bright as the sun
He paves every street with snow wherever she goes
And sculpts every icicle that hangs
Into a rose
And she wonders why Winter's the most beautiful season
For she never feels the cold
Aah, each year she waits for him
But he's waiting inside her
Where she never comes in
So she writes him a poem
And sings him this song
Where have you gone?
He sprinkles petals from the sky
Instead of the rain he knows
Would make her cry
And she wonders why
Spring’s the most beautiful season
For she is always dry
He shepherds the wind to blow
In her direction
Then carves a sea for her
Inside her garden
And she wonders why
Summer’s the most beautiful season
Then looks at her hands
And realizes
She’s the reason
Aah, each year
He’ll come again
For he lives deep inside her
She never knew then
So she writes him a poem
And sings him this song
I am the one
I am the one
I am the one

Goodbye, mother
Hello, child
I have built a home
From a cherry tree so wild
Goodbye, child
I have survived
Those who came before
And to whom I gave their life
I'll speak to you before each sleep
And ask of you in every dream
I'll wake to see if you're still there
And bellow your name through muted air
Hello, goodbye
Goodbye, hello
My last goodbye, please come now slow
I'll eat though now I cannot chew
I'll drink though nothing will come through
My throat is shut but I'm not weak
Enough to feel
Enough to speak
Hello, goodbye
Goodbye, hello
My time has come, now I must go
Now I think I found you
Safely here with me
Opened eyes
And here you are
Still beyond my sleep

Our Town
03:04
|

In the town below
I can feel you
Where the world is old
And the people are too
But when the people are new
There's no world in view
What would we do
What could we do
In the town above
I can feel you
Where there once was three
Now they're only two
Then there will be one
Then there will be none
In the town above
They have all gone

Dusk and Dawn
04:13
|

When the sun comes up
And the day ignites
I see again for the first time
And I see that everything's alright
And when the sun goes down
And the day starts to flicker
I see the world much clearer
Knowing this day has made my life so much bigger
For what could go wrong when it all just started
No stars have died
And no clouds have parted
The world holds still
Propping its head on the sun and the moon
Twirling in laughter
And rotating in gloom

Trembling Light
02:51

Trembling light
Find a way
To the place
Where I'll stay
Know I won't be alone
Trembling light
Know that I'm
Always right beside
Know I won't be alone
Here I'll find you
Here I'll go to
Trembling light
Find a way
To the place
Where I'll stay
Know I won't be alone

They say you've worn that dress too long
Now where will you go
Can't go to a party and you can't go to school
With all that tattered lace
I say it's the only thing that fits
The only thing that keeps me warm
Why when it's torn must it be thrown away
Haven't you loved anything that needs mending
Hope find the things I lost but never had
Hope find the things I lost with you
Hope find the things I lost but never had
Hope find the things I lost with you
They say you've worn that dream too long
Now where will you go
It hangs behind you like a veil
Loses threads in the wind
I say this veil is pure
It mends itself with the sun
A honey-golden patchwork
That shines for everyone
Hope find the things I lost but never had
Hope find the things I lost with you
Hope find the things I lost but never had
Hope find the things I lost with you
*I'll never find*
Hope find the things I lost but never had
Hope find the things I lost with you
Hope find the things I lost but never had
Hope find the things I lost with you
