you might walk a wire
above a worried well
make a bed in the belly of a whale
between the polar heart
and the Bible tale
now we run our boat into a swell
settle down and make a life
put a riddle in the devil's mind
if we get along we'll start a fire
a spire in sunlight
or shipwrecked on an isle
a place to lay my head is so hard to find
so pack my empty chest
put an anchor in my soul
spin me round the only way i know
settle down and make a life
put a riddle in the devil's mind
if we get along we'll start a fire
settle down and make a life
put a riddle in the devil's mind
if we get along we'll start a fire

Her Darkest Work

in the blink of an eye, spreads like fire
a window in
into my mind, a reason why
all things must end
oh be my strength, my guiding wind
on a mountain side i climb so high
oh, ten miles and then
just a whisper right in this heart of mine?
you enter in
oh be my strength, my guiding wind
cause i wander stony ground (oh stony ground)
trying to find a home (trying to find a home)
well i built this golden calf, now it's all i own
you were my king brighter than the sun
you set me apart
when i kick against the dark, i said in my heart
"you were right"
you're brighter than the stars, when i get you alone
i'll treat you right

Sunlight Child

well i'm caught in the grip of a terrifying light
i turn away from this blaze, this lighting strike
call it brilliant, bright, it still keeps you up at night
though I go blind oh i won’t close my eyes
falling asleep again beneath the weight
of the endless, racing heart beat of a day
well I know you need a night, of peace and so do i
we need to write our perfect lullaby
there’s a dark cloud on the rise, but a storm cellar in sight
go to sleep my stuborn child and say goodnight
this might be a long, dark night but i'll be waiting in the silence
go to sleep my sunlight child i won’t close my eyes
i won't close my eyes
the rain it pours outside, the thunder sounds
we whisper golden rhymes here underground
though the battered door denies, well i know we will survive
because i am yours and you know that your still mine
there’s a dark cloud on the rise, but a storm cellar in sight
go to sleep my stuborn child and say goodnight
this might be a long, dark night but i'll be waiting in the silence
go to sleep my sunlight child i won’t close my eyes
i won't close my eyes

Spectacle

the way i see this ancient truth: a shingle blowin' off the roof
i've been known to call your name in the wind, to the rain
a sparkler layin' in the yard, i thought it was a dying star
dogs of heaven comin' down on the long way back to town
i haven't told you yet today: you deserve your own parade
it's a hard wind, a shattered sky; you'll always be my fourth day of july

Star Of The Sea (Live)

could it be my own rescue flying low?
over breakers out, a mile beyond a shout
he barely had a name, a home a friend, an age
now I see his face haloed by a wave
if we could charm our Lady
star of the sea
to open her arms
and bring you back to me
oh wild wave, oh rolling tide
surrender your might and let me always find
that there is a light
a howling wind that night a cloud a cursed tide
i sink in salt and brine a sanctuary right?
to hold the family now, the look and hollowed brows
death and all its eyes i pray do not recognize
if we could charm our Lady
star of the sea
to open her arms
and bring you back to me
oh wild wave, oh rolling tide
surrender your might and let me always find
that there is a light
now i live in spite of space an ancient right
to throw that long slow fight
of one more day and one more night
one more day and one more night
one more day and one more night
but there is a light
if we could charm our Lady
star of the sea
to open her arms
and bring you back to me
oh wild wave, oh rolling tide
surrender your might and let me always find
that there is a light
