On Time

you said it at the time
that after all the wires snapped the bridge was never coming back
if she'd run on time
instead of running on the spur than we'd have seen the last of her
oh, you cried out to her in your surprise
and oh, you painted circles all around her eyes
but she won't pin you down on it
these hours are so free
and worthless as they used to be
if every moment counts
how to describe a line around the moments that we leave to chance?
oh, you never can
roll back that way
oh, you never can
roll back that way

I saw our farm in tiny form
seemed to me that it was such a small thing
I saw our farm in tiny form
and I saw that it was wrong
start to fall
made to see that it was wrong
stray too long, distort the form
made to see that it was wrong
don't tell me you don't want me
ease it in girl, take it slow
it's a time that's long past turning
the time you saw so long ago

construct a way to catch a proof
recognize when it's time to move
turn you attention to the field
and bind it up to something real
spin a web across your fingers
dinner bells and special features
settle down, let's just pretend
this isn't the beginning, it's the end
where's the proof behind your story?
why stay when you find it boring?
quiet now, sing it in my ear
if this is about the last time
keys can't shake a pastime
yes we will
icicles hang from the roof
why settle for a simple proof
don't give in now, let's just pretend
this isn't the beginning, it's the end
stack those stones bit by bit
the corners can't all help but fit
settle down now, let's just pretend
this isn't the beginning, it's the end

It's So Easy

you were born in the Summer after love
long after your Father had gone off by himself
your mother loved to drink more than she ever loved herself
she left you ever free to fly while she lived off the shelf
it's so easy to say
long after those people had gone from the bay
it's so easy to do
just give it time
your boyfriend is so sweet, and he treats you like a saint
you and I both know that it's not true
the only thing's missing is the proof
try not to take it bad
but you know that she's been had a time or two
when you went working overseas to fight
she felt as free as the Moonit's so easy to say
long after those people had gone from the bay
it's so easy to do
just give it time

So Fair

can't count straight without your fingers
can't see straight when you're running in the dark
you broke him
never said his name
too far to fall
and come back again
we've got to hide somewhere
sun's so bright, and baby, you're so fair
hair so straight
slipped right through my fingers
born on haste
right out of my arms
you broke me
never said my name
shook my all
left without a claim
we've got to hide somewhere
sun's so bright, and baby, you're so fair
shake the branches of a tree
choose the one farthest from me
a tear tracing a circle round your hip
falling on your keys on that night you lost your grip
don't try to tell me that you lost it
I know you've got secrets still trapped inside your pockets
we've got to hide somewhere
sun's so bright, and baby, you're so fair
shake the branches of a tree
choose the one farthest from me

Distracted

can be that we're never satisfied
but I believe we've enjoyed the moments that we tried
I've seen the things you saw when you looked back at me
reflect my tired eyes
let's lie down to sleep
you emerged from the wood down by the creek
you said you'd seen a gull, a golden glove held in it's beak
and that's when you saw that it was time to leave
and that's when you knew you'd never hold on to me
stay three steps behind me as we walk across the lake
this late in the season this old ice is bound to break
and if I slide into the water don't you follow
toss me an old branch and watch me wallow
favor's forgiveness, don't forget a melody
give in to your distractions, and you'll wind up next to me
I've seen the things you saw when you were looking back at me
just close those tired eyes, and sink down in to sleep
cover me in kisses when you see me at the wake
and skip a skipping stone for me next time you're at the lake
I found a five leaf clover and I lost it
next time you're at the lake don't try to cross it
I'll never make you happy, but I hope you're satisfied
and if I fall through the ice, at least I hope you know I tried
I've seen the things you saw when you were looking back at me
just close your tired eyes, come lie down with me
