clear air lyrics
Pardon me
got a big head start
trying to get away
but a thumping in my heart
seemed to have a way
getting me to see
the flaws in my decision
cause my outlook took a turn
and falling like a brick
the bridges that I burned
finally did the trick
so now I come to find
The shoe is on a foot I'm missing
CHORUS
So pardon my doubting whether
I could discover
How it came to be
that I was ever gonna feel so low
But I have the power to make
The most astounding mistakes
Like thinkin that I'd ever
want to be alone
It’s a low
It’s a low ride
I know
In a landslide
BRIDGE
Pardon Me
Pardon me now
So I'm flying 95
throttle on the mat
on the way to hoping
soon you'll take me back
though why you'd want a fool like me
is a wonder
But I finally made my mind up
solid as the wind
blowing in the fall
coming back again
gone are all the days of heat and thunder
chorus
got a big head start
trying to get away
but a thumping in my heart
seemed to have a way
getting me to see
the flaws in my decision
cause my outlook took a turn
and falling like a brick
the bridges that I burned
finally did the trick
so now I come to find
The shoe is on a foot I'm missing
CHORUS
So pardon my doubting whether
I could discover
How it came to be
that I was ever gonna feel so low
But I have the power to make
The most astounding mistakes

It’s a low ride

No Matter
You struggle at night
clown in a circus
a bike riding bear
acting like there's nothin to lose
So you stay out of sight
Just under the surface
But you wanna light a fire
trying to get onto the news
No matter what you say (3)
I'm losing ground I'm losing ground
I'm falling out of control (3)
I'm falling down falling down
CHORUS
You wanna be right
you wanna be perfect
The way you're living your life
it's kinda like pounding a nail
A judge in a fight
shouting a verdict
throw down your vote
you're bound and determined to fail.
BRIDGE
But you, you're making me nervous
I don't need no trembling heart to cause me pain
I think you, you done it on purpose
Can't you see these teardrops fall like rain
You struggle at night
clown in a circus
a bike riding bear
acting like there's nothin to lose
So you stay out of sight
Just under the surface
But you wanna light a fire
trying to get onto the news
No matter what you say (3)
I'm losing ground I'm losing ground
I'm falling out of control (3)
I'm falling down falling down
CHORUS
You wanna be right
you wanna be perfect
The way you're living your life
it's kinda like pounding a nail
A judge in a fight
shouting a verdict
throw down your vote
you're bound and determined to fail.

But you, you're making me nervous
I don't need no trembling heart to cause me pain
I think you, you done it on purpose
Can't you see these teardrops fall like rain
MISSING YOUR LOVE
You got a hard line
Drawn in a circle
Sent me the long way round to your heart
Kinda like a bottle
That I’ll never drink
Gatherin’ dust in the dark
It’s been a hard ride down to your doorstep
I’ve swallowed much more pride than you know
Gonna take much more of your intention
Before I pack my bags and go
Ooooh oooh
Somebody’s missing your love
Bridge
Hey don’t hold the fear
Just feel the light
Don’t fight the dawnin
Hard to find the right way
When your dark thoughts flood the mornin
You’re all alone now
Cause you are certain
That you know that’s how it should be
Don’t never stop and think of what you’re losing
When you don’t make room for me
Ooooh oooh
Somebody’s missing your love
You got a hard line
Drawn in a circle
Sent me the long way round to your heart
Kinda like a bottle
That I’ll never drink
Gatherin’ dust in the dark
It’s been a hard ride down to your doorstep
I’ve swallowed much more pride than you know
Gonna take much more of your intention
Before I pack my bags and go
Ooooh oooh

Hey don’t hold the fear

Don’t never stop and think of what you’re losing
When you don’t make room for me
Ooooh oooh

Star
When the sun comes to love you
you say you only like the bright ones
Then you float through the party
like it was a place that you own
and the men whirl below you
a cluster, flocking round a black hole
CHORUS
Nobody warm, nobody home
no one to suffer
nobody comes back from your pull
Well the sun's finally dying
time for sleeping off the starlight
but it won't keep you trying
to become a star of your own
so I thank the heavens
I'm on the planet
all alone
CHORUS
and so I thank the heavens
I'm on the planet
all alone
BRIDGE
undeniable
unreliable
unenlightened
more of the same
pick yourself up
count on your luck
deal yourself in
love is the game
and I know that
your heart ain't so hard
when it's aflame.

Comet
there’s something that you came for
Something we both know is true
you just love a detour
no sign of what I did for you
I know you’ve never been lonely
You’re used to getting your way
But the earth don’t spin for you only
The sun sets here today
CHORUS
Out on a moonless night
You set the stars on fire
churning the sky
With the stuff of heaven
I watch you flying higher
CHORUS
Talk about a grand revelation
Lighting up my mind on review
I’m fighting off the sad sensation
Something that was one is two
CHORUS
But I got my own reputation
Kept me some pride in reserve
I wait in anticipation
To see the comedown you deserve
But that's not enough for you
That's not enough for you
It's not enough for you
there’s something that you came for
Something we both know is true
you just love a detour
no sign of what I did for you
I know you’ve never been lonely
You’re used to getting your way
But the earth don’t spin for you only

MY PARTY
Come to see now that I let it go
How I had sunken low
still hung up
on the same mistake
some rules you never break.
But I've fallen I'm shattered
heat lightninged ,
bug splattered
still I don't believe it
I don't believe my time is done
CHORUS
Cause this is my party
gonna wake up from a trance
shine on up my body
and I won't mind fallin
cause this ain't a competition
no one's gonna make it through.
I Thought my mojo had gone and died
That I had shrunk in size
counting failure in all I tried
could not be satisfied
but I'm learnin, I'm plannin
no crawlin, quicksandin
Now I understand it
The things that I decide come true
BRIDGE
this isn't over
no it's not through
this isn't over
til the fat man gets to dance
tappin' up the stairs
for you
this is my party
and you know I'm gonna dance
Come to see now that I let it go
How I had sunken low
still hung up
on the same mistake
some rules you never break.
But I've fallen I'm shattered

Satellite Wars
You got an app for discontentment
helping you forget
You got an ATM resentment
Keeps you in debt
You text at every function
Vibrate in your sleep
You got a tweet and run compunction
Byting you deep
CHORUS
A thousand TV stations full of useless information
and you don't really see why they don't carry yours
Satellite wars
They're swiping all your credit
your Tivo's on the blink
here's your password, don't forget it
Just click on the link
CHORUS
You got a high speed connection
leave your pixels on parade
you got virus proof protection
but CIA raids
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I can download
I can barcode
I can like you now.
Thanks to satellite wars.

Finding it Hard
Over this bridge I'm burning
I've tarried for far too long
I stayed for the view
to watch the seasons turning
Took all of this time to surface
After drowning in "I don't know"
Deep in the water
I saw the soul of darkness
CHORUS
But I'm finding it hard
finding it hard
to move from the fight
to trust to the light
to give all of the love that I'm able
Finding it hard.
Of all all of my strained decisions
this was the hardest one
Gaining a vision
Through all the scars I'm earning
Finally finding purpose
in returning from fear to love
I turned my back on the "why do I's"
and I'm

You’re Gonna Live
Take me down along the flowin river
Bathe me in the coolness
make me whole
Take me from my sorrow
Make believe me
Save my soul
pillow me a ring of piney needles,
wrap the moss a halo ‘round my head
lay me down from evil
in the evening
in my bed
CHORUS
It’s come, the final call
Running with the wind
Spinning like a dreidel
and all the signs await you
Tossed on the bough
Crawlin from the cradle
So now you’ve fallin from the top
You’re gonna live,
CHORUS
Take me to the hill
to feel the fire
Turn me round to face the starry sky
churning up with embers
Painting pictures
Off they fly

Turn
Drawn to the arctic circle
Blown to the northern sea
I sing to the darkest heaven
lightness everywhere I see
Memories strand like driftwood
Comets trail the sky
wreaths of smoke and sorrow
veils across my eye
CHORUS
Turn
Turn lightly
Turn to the rising sun
Burn
Burn brightly
Gone when the day is done
So now I’m undecided
My friends have already flown
Light streaks draw the silence
I’m longing to be home
Spring will come the morrow
Wheel and churn, the night
I scan passage over
It’s calling me to flight
Drawn to the arctic circle
Blown to the northern sea
I sing to the darkest heaven
lightness everywhere I see
Memories strand like driftwood
Comets trail the sky
wreaths of smoke and sorrow
veils across my eye
CHORUS
Turn
Turn lightly
Turn to the rising sun
Burn
Burn brightly
Gone when the day is done

My friends have already flown
Light streaks draw the silence
I’m longing to be home
Spring will come the morrow
Wheel and churn, the night
I scan passage over
It’s calling me to flight
I can See you shining
With the stoplight
And the dogfight
Dare you now recite the poem?
When the love dies
And you don’t cry
When you’re beside the point
Turn back
On sorrow
On the silence in your room
Trust that
Tomorrow
The world might then resume
(and you might yet change its tune)
CHORUS
I can feel you rising
I can see the sun inside you
I can see you shining
I can feel the sun
Inside me
When the day breaks
And your mind wakes
Will you recall
these words we’ve spoken?
When the crow flies
And your hopes rise
When the night is done
BRIDGE
Will you be sad?
I don’t will know
The sky turns blue
Put your bet on that
When it seems
You’ve lost your grace
It somehow seems to make it back
CHORUS
I can feel you rising
I can see the sun inside you
I can see you shining
I can feel the sun
Inside me

UNDER THE MOON
I'm out of my mind
cause time after time
you threaten me that you are through
so why should I be blamed
if I have failed to take my cue
Out in the night
final goodbyes
float like clouds in the cold and dew
I saw the sorrow in you eyes and said
this can't be true
CHORUS- three times
Under the Moon
With kindness and lies
you take my hand and you try
to convince me there's nothing to lose
like falling out of love like this
is something that I'd choose
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Honey I tried to tell you
something you ought to know
that I won't be the one to say it's over
It will never be
It'll have to be you
I stood alone in the darkness
and I watched you fade from view
I turned my back and wiped the tears
It's all that I could do
CHORUS
I'm out of my mind
cause time after time
you threaten me that you are through
so why should I be blamed

Distant Shore
Gonna lock the door
turn off the phone
I'll sit in the silence
Pretend nobody's home
Well some might say it's a folly
It's a lost cause waiting for you
I don't know
why I should have to settle for you saying sorry
and why you have to go
I'm not the kind to give up on a story
But I gotta say
I've begun to worry.
CHORUS
We fell in love on a distant shore
ran aground on a distant shore
you said
part of me was fallin
part of you keeps calling me
Fallin in love with the silence
Finding that it's easy to choose
Between the not much and nothing that you offer
Cause ither way I lose
Can't abide the reason that you're giving
Gotta find a way
back to the living.
BRIDGE
Can't abide the reason you've been giving
Gotta find a way back to the living
All along you've opened up a doorway
Know you come and say
You must be on your way
CHORUS
Gonna lock the door
turn off the phone
I'll sit in the silence
Pretend nobody's home
Well some might say it's a folly
It's a lost cause waiting for you
I don't know

and why you have to go
I'm not the kind to give up on a story

Migration
When the sun leaves the sky
when the stars find the meadow
when silence has finally arrived
Will you open your eyes
will you see something better
will you finally decide it's time.
CHORUS
Time to move on
time to grow
time to be loved
time to let go
time that you know you've
become a sun of your own
Star of of your life
star of the light
star of your own
When a fire breaks the sky
when the thrush calls in purple
and you rise in a dream
and fly
And then where will you go
when it's all that you know
is where it's all you can do to survive
BRIDGE
Through the dark night
the stars shining
the moon guiding you home
with hopes rising
you realize
that there's nothing for to atone.
When the sun pales the sky
will you see something better
will you open your wings and take flight
When the sun leaves the sky
when the stars find the meadow
when silence has finally arrived
Will you open your eyes
will you see something better
will you finally decide it's time.
CHORUS
Time to move on
time to grow
time to be loved
time to let go
time that you know you've
become a sun of your own
Star of of your life
star of the light
star of your own
