Ashes to Wood 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Slow me down Trip me up Hold me right Where I was The night that we met Don't let me get too far Our best try To survive Now looks more like Suicide But it's in the past Can we go back to start again? Come now we can build a new town Right where we stood, right where the old one stood We let it burn down, but i know now We can do better, we can turn ashes to wood Rain to sun Rust to gold From the wreckage Comes the hope Oh, can you tell me You've ever felt so strong? Faith from tears Dawn from dusk Through the smoke We'll find love It might be hidden But i know that it's not gone It's not gone Come now we can build a new town Right where we stood, right where the old one stood We let it burn down, but i know now We can do better, we can turn ashes to wood Slow me down Trip me up Hold me right Where I was Slow me down Trip me up Hold me right Where I was Come now we can build a new town Right where we stood, right where the old one stood We let it burn down, but i know now We can do better, we can turn ashes to wood Come now we can build a new town Right where we stood, right where the old one stood We let it burn down, but i know now We can do better, we can turn ashes to wood

That String 03:45
lyrics
buy track
You carry pink balloons To help you lift your shoes When the lifting gets too hard I know you could soar If you walk out that door I promise you'll go far It's hard to win if you're afraid of losing All you gotta, all you gotta do is Let go of that string You don't need anything to hold you up You are strong enough Just wave goodbye To that dot in the sky Sorry to spoil the surprise But you're gonna be just fine But the wind's blowing tonight And that ribbon's pulling tight When trouble comes to call And all that you thought would ground Is just tying you down Sometimes it's good to fall Cause one, two, three, you'll be back up again Better off, oh better off from where you've been Let go of that string You don't need anything to hold you up You are strong enough Just wave goodbye To that dot in the sky Sorry to spoil the surprise But you're gonna be just fine Take a breath and let it out Take a step don't turn around Let is loose with all you got Take a needle hear it pop.... Let go of that string You don't need anything to hold you up You are strong enough Just wave goodbye To that dot in the sky Sorry to spoil the surprise But you're gonna be just fine

Phoenix 03:42
lyrics

Your words fall as softly as a bomb And I survey the damage after you're gone Your words fall as lightly as a brick And I wish I hadn't walked right under it Your eyes warm me like a house of snow And I spent months shivering, wondering why I'm cold Your eyes are cozy like a kitchen knife And I wish I hadn't cut myself so many times Ooohhh.... Your hands hold me like a slip 'n slide And I think I deserve a safer places to hide Your hands comfort me just like a gun And I wish that I had been brave enough to run Ooooh... I need somebody who loves me I need somebody who loves me more I need somebody who loves me more Than half of the time I need somebody who loves me I need somebody who loves me more I need somebody who loves me more Than some of the time Your love saved me like a broken raft And I clung steady like I wanted to sink fast Your love saved me like a wild flame But I won't lie with the ashes you laid No I will rise stronger than yesterday

Little Rose 02:53
lyrics

I found a little rose Pretty as could be But I left it there for someone Who could love it more than me I found a little rose I said how do you do But I left there for someone Who'd be there to help it bloom Cause there are better hands See what better hands can do There are better hands And I want the best for you My love was buried in the ocean But I was high above that sea You were stranded waiting Somewhere in between Oh you walked me to that chapel But I came back out alone If they ask why did I leave Tell them that it kills me to go But there are better hands See what better hands can do There are better hands And I want the best for you I found a little rose Pretty as could be But I left it there for someone Who could love it more than me

Going Home 04:01
lyrics
buy track
Dorothy has left and gone away The birds are flying toward a northern bay The tired faces slowly file off the plane Where do they go? They're going home A top hat and a woolen scarf Are lying where the snowman stood in my front yard I hope that where you want to be is where you are And when you go You're going home Maybe I was quick to leave the only place that I've known love And maybe I will never see anywhere that makes me feel so much Pieces of promises and dreams Are piled up like dirty dishes in the sink I look around and I don't recognize I thing Where can I go? I'm going home Maybe I was quick to leave the only place that I've known love And maybe I will never reach the other side that's green and lush The kitchen smells like pumpkin pie My sister laughs so hard that tears fill up her eyes We're drinking coco and there's kids playing outside While it snows That's going home When that home is far away And loneliness has got me wishing I had stayed I close my eyes and I am right back in that place And when I go When I go I'm going home
