BLACK HEART PROCESSION LYRICS - 1

the waiter

in a cabin out where it's cold
there's a waiter serving time
he remembers she said
"I'll be there yes I'll be there
someday when the snow thaws"
so he stands watching the snow fall
in his hand a clock on a platter
he remembers she said
"I'll be there yes I'll be there
every night your eyes dream"
"dream dream my lonely one"

the old kind of summer

every day goes by and every night the same,
I sit and think of how I'm so much
further away from you.
every time I wake, I'll slowly mark the day,
cause this life has taken me so much
further away from you.
every sunset and every time it rains,
every walk I take I'll count the steps
further away from you.
if I should fall in love again, I will know that
I'm only that much further from you.
you'll fall in love again someday, I know.
you'll see the light and I'll be away.

release my heart

what you gave to me I'll never forget
I was born for you before this crime began
all I ask of you is to take the knife and ....
release my heart before you move ahead
what if I was to say to you
"you will never see me again"
I was born of you my partner in crime
and what you stole from me
I may never get it back so ....
release my heart before you move ahead

even thieves couldn't lie

it was mid October when they would meet at the lake
down on barrelhill road beneath the moon
there were no fish in the sky just catching sparks
from all these falling stars
his heart would never slip off this track
cause this girl wasn't afraid of his tears
so on one of those nights they got into the car
she pointed at the map and said
"any place looks good to me, just run with me"
she said "any place looks good to me,
as long as you run with me away from here"
she said "we don't need money when we've got us,
because power it'll make any man weak I know"
even thieves couldn't lie not when you look into her eyes
all your plans will fall apart
the storm held back beyond the mountains
as the birds built the nest to lay her head
then she flew away from here
the wind blows and her voice hides behind the trees
as I walk to visit her grave
so I climb into bed then close my eyes
and I can still hear her say
"any place looks good to me, just run with me"
she said "any place" even in my dreams
as long as you run with me away from here
she would say "we don't need the money when we've got us"
"because power it'll make any man weak, I know"
but it's her power that made this man so very weak
she said "run with me away from here"

bluewater/blackheart

I fell like a dove into the desert
barely breathing my tears built (filled) an ocean
I was out on a levee - I was out on the jetty
when I lost my self into the water
they came at night and said to me
to rest is forbidden
you must move or drown away
I'll be alive - I'll squeeze through the light

heart without a home (the great flood)

fear lights the way - you came and went
you held it close to your heart
don't take the wires from my back,
I can't move on my own
once held so close, now my heart has no home
so long - it's been so long
will I find my way back home again
I crawled out from the sea, cold and alone
there were sounds all through the night, as I ran
and now silence fills the air
as the years flood my mind
once held so close, now my heart has no home

stitched to my heart

my heart is bleeding rain drops, they're lonely rain drops
when it used to shower all night long
and in the well they'll find my heart, that I gave to you
and in the end they'll find her name, stitched to my heart
I've been locked away ---- I'll keep it locked away
where they'll find no trace
they're lonely rain drops

square heart

I've got a square old heart
and no one makes the parts that I need
to repair and pull me from this well
but I'll be waiting

in a tin flask

I can't remember when she went away
but I'll keep a light on beside my bed
the pillow soft and the blanket warm
I have walked the old winding road
has anybody seen a love alone as mine
searched her grave and across the plains
beneath the sea but I still can't find her
has anybody seen my queen of grace
I can't remember when she left
without her to hold what use are my arms
can somebody point the way
I have walked that old winding road
has anybody seen a love alone like mine
searched her grave and across the plains
beneath the sea but I still can't find her
I can't remember why she left
I just know she's far away
and I won't find her in the corner
in a tin flask from my coat

a heart the size of a horse

lights down everything's closed
I sit outside in the rain that pins me here
you were in the trinity of my beating heart
I should have known when my heart fell from the horse
to something less than me
you were in the trinity of my beating heart
from all the rain the vines have grown over
and trap me here inside my home
there's a fence that's tired and old
escape the grove
you were the trinity of my beating heart
I should have known when my heart fell from the horse
to something less than me
you were in the trinity of my beating heart
