Dust

Don’t ever forget me, don’t ever change
And if I hurt your feelings, I’m sorry love is strange
Your eyes they spoke of sadness, fragility
I think that’s why I loved you, you are a part of me.
And you held me, like you needed to be free
And you wanted that from me…
But we can’t save each other.
Whoah… whoah whoah…. you are the dust and breeze
Whoah… whoah whoah… you are a part of me.
I wanted to believe you, wanted to stay
And feed the good inside you, to keep the dark away
But tell me do you take your demons to bed
And would you choose the poison, over my love instead
Lying in the bathtub, with your black heart tattoo
I wish I took that photograph
I can’t stop thinking of you.
Whoah… whoah whoah…. you are the dust and breeze
Whoah… whoah whoah… you are a part of me.
And I know that we’ve all seen better days
And that loneliness has taken o-o-over
But I see now that it’s up to us to make a change
To find out joy and rearrange our lives
Whoah… whoah whoah…. you are the dust and breeze
Whoah… whoah whoah… you are a part of me.
Whoah… whoah whoah…. you are the dust and breeze
Whoah… whoah whoah… you are a part of me.
You are a part of me
You are a part of me

Road Kill
03:32
|

|
Slow down, we’re going across the bridge now
We’ve still got 100 miles ’til we pull into the next time
It’s late, watch out for the road kill
The sign says there’s wild lurking in the trees
Up over the next hill.
Will we make it there by morning, will we have enough to give?
I can take the wheel for a little while, I can take the wheel
I can take the wheel for a little while, I can take the wheel
I can take the wheel and try to get us there.
White lines blur across the highway
Shadows playing tricks on my eyes
Or the spirits having something to say
It feels wrong to suffer just to sing a song
To poke into your own veins, smile while the blood drains
While the people sing along
Will we make it there by morning?
Will they pillage what they need?
I can take the wheel for a little while, I can take the wheel
I can take the wheel for a little while, I can take the wheel
I can take the wheel…
They think we do it for glory
A cup of poison and they still want our story
I can take the wheel for a little while, I can take the wheel
I can take the wheel for a little while, I can take the wheel
I can take the wheel… And get us out of here!

My Way Home
03:49
|

|
We used to be 18,
I looked over my shoulder and now we’re so much older
Life’s just not the same as it used to be
I had so many dreams that I forgot to treasure,
Thought that we had forever
I never stopped running now time caught up to me.
Remember the days when we were on fire, courageous and carefree
I wonder if you’ve been spending your time alone like me…
If you’re going my way home I’ll be around
If you’re going my way home I’ll be around
The years have changed us,
the wrinkles on our faces they speak of all the places
And of all the people that we used to be.
I had some other plans, but I guess they were made to be broken
Another time, another place, another body.
In spite of it all I don’t regret the life I chose to live for
But I find myself wishing that you would show up at my door.
If you’re going my way home I’ll be around
If you’re going my way home I’ll be around
Are we running out of time old friend?
I don’t wanna miss our chance again.
If you’re going my way home I’ll be around
If you’re going my way home I’ll be around
Do you remember where I live, do you remember where I live
Do you remember, do you remember where I am?
Do you remember where I live, do you remember where I live
Do you remember, do you remember where I am?

End of Time
03:46
|
|||
|
Somewhere uptown my friends are all cooped up like me
Most nights I’m wasted wasting time to set me free
It’s getting lonely in this hideout
Would you recognize these lines upon my face?
I will see you once it’s over,
We’ll find comfort in the quiet of it all
And I will let you hold me ’til the end of time.
Closed signs hang low now from the windows on Queen Street
But listen closely you can hear the ocean breathe
I’ve been missing real connection
But the stars are brighter now and summer’s on its way
I will see you once it’s over,
We’ll make music in the madness of it all…
And I will let you hold me ’til the end of time.
If you could hold me, would you hold me,
I wish you’d hold me now
If you could hold me, would you hold me,
I wish you’d hold me now
I will see you once it’s over,
We’ll find solace in the silence of it all…
We’ll come out of this much stronger.
And I will let you hold me ’til the end of,
Let you hold me ’til the end of,
I will let you hold me ’til the end of time.

Italian Summer
04:17
|
|||
|
It’s been quite a year, and it’s not over yet
A cold and lonely kind of hell
I’ve been weak and weepy, desperate for a change
I know my limits well
I wanna kiss the breeze, I wanna swim back to shore,
Let the deep blue swallow my body
I wanna feel in love … again
I’m heading over the ocean, do you want to meet me there
For an Italian summer, escape this northern air
And soak in some of that sweet sun-kissed beauty
That makes me feel alive
I wanna feel alive again
I’ve still got my memories, and I keep them close to me
Remember dancing in the square?
All the lovers walking by, young and old they made you cry
I think I left my heart over there.
I wanna catch a wave, I want to feel young again
Seize the sunlight on my shoulders
I want to slow it down, dance until morning, until morning
I’m heading over the ocean, do you want to meet me there
For an Italian summer, escape this northern air
And soak in some of that sweet sun-kissed beauty
That makes me feel alive
And the days go by daydreaming into the night
Somehow wishing that I could fly away…
I’m heading over the ocean, do you want to meet me there
For an Italian summer, escape this northern air
And soak in some of that sweet sun-kissed beauty
That makes me feel alive
I wanna feel alive again.

Lose Me
04:35
|
|||
|
You’re so far away, not sure when I’ll see you again
The last time at the airport you pretended that we were
only friends
It tore me apart watching you get on that plane
All alone in departures, looking out from that window in
the rain
Am I just to wait here, while you make up your mind dear
Am I wasting my time, like I always do
Am I just to wait here while you’re there trying to get
things clear?
Because baby you’ll lose me, or maybe you lost me a long
time ago
I don’t know if it’s worth fighting for
If it’s worth losing myself alone on the bathroom floor
While you’re making sure that she’s warm at night
It’s like you’re split in two and you tell me you just want
to make it right
Am I just to wait here, while you make up your mind dear
Are you wasting my time, like all of them do
Am I just to wait here while you’re there trying to get
things clear?
Because baby you’ll lose me, or maybe you lost me a long
time ago…..
It’s all moving slow, it’s clear that you don’t know
What it is that you want.
No…whoah… I won’t lie here and wait no more
Wait for you to leave her so that you can choose me
Because baby you’ll lose me, or maybe you lost me a long
time ago
Yeah baby you’ll lose me, no I think you lost me a long time
ago.

Carousel
03:45
|

|
You took the words right out of my mouth,
you told me, you told me
You put me back on the shelf,
Explored me, ignored me
And I don’t want to be here,
Don’t want to be anywhere, make me disappear
I don’t want to be feeling anymore
I rode the carousel that got torn down in that small town
There goes the mission bell, employer, destroyer
And I don’t want to be here,
Don’t want to be anywhere, make it disappear
I don’t want to be feeling (longing?) anymore
What have we done? Look what we’ve done to ourselves,
Over and over again
Wanting to run seems the only thing we’ve got left.
And I wish someone was here,
Wish someone could tell me that it does get better
I’m just chasing that feeling again.
OOooo…..ooooo….oooooo…..

Quarantine Dream
03:52
|
|||
|
It’s been hard losing sleep, making peace with it
Watching fires burn our broken skies apart
And in the morning I wake with the fear of it
Hoping that we learn to let go, to start all over
I can’t sleep anymore…..
We’ve seen bombs flying, mothers crying, babies dying
We watch greed take over everything we love
And still we climb higher, hurt each other, blame our brothers
I think that it’s time to wake up, to wake up
Because I can’t sleep anymore, there’s just so much to be fighting for….
This is my quarantine dream, where you are here with me
And we push through the pain of the last few centuries
My quarantine dream, where everybody is free now
And we lead with that fierce love, that fierce love.
Sand is slipping through the hourglass and there’s so stopping it
And the days are getting shorter now and cold
I can still remember when you kissed me last September
It’s those memories that keep me from getting old.
I can’t sleep anymore, there’s so much beauty to be living for
This is my quarantine dream, where you are here with me
And we push through the pain of the last few centuries
My quarantine dream, where everybody is free now
And we lead with that fierce love, that fierce love.
I don’t want to believe it anymore
We can make this life worth living for.
This is my quarantine dream, where you are here with me
And we lead with that fierce love, that fierce love.
We lead with that fierce love, that fierce love
We lead with that fierce love, that fierce love

Morning Glory
04:27
|
|||
|
All in a dream, in another time, another life
You came to me.
Born of my body, in all your perfection
I swore that I’d give you forever my love
And protection.
I wish I could hold you close in the morning,
Sing you something at night.
Make sure (or tell you) that you will be loved/safe
forever…
Oh morning glory, get me out of bed
Oh sunlight adorn me and the sky overhead
And it’s hard to hide how empty I feel inside
Most days waiting for you.
Daybreak pours in through my window
I open my eyes and I’m still lying here in this pain
The radio’s playing some other sad song
This bright light is burning
I feel more at home in the rain.
I’ve been picturing your tiny little face
Your softness, your grace
Do you think we might still find each other?
Oh morning glory, get me out of bed
Oh sunlight adorn me and the sky overhead
And it’s hard to hide how empty I feel inside
Most days waiting for you.
This longing grows bigger and bursts in the sun
Time is a merciless one
Oh morning glory, get me out of bed
Oh sunlight adorn me and the sky overhead
And it’s hard to hide how empty I feel inside
Most days waiting for you.

Another dark storm to weather
Hold on tight, it’s alright.
You know we’re in this together
Don’t lose sight, it’s our time.
Too many sisters have gone missing at night
Mothers and daughters
We’ve gotta make it right.
We can’t be free ‘cuz we’re not all free
We can’t be free ‘cuz we’re not all free
There’s violence in silence,
We need our voices to come together and sing.
Out loud now, it’s the only way out
And the only way to put an end to suffering.
When our brothers can’t walk down the street
Without being left to bleed out.
We can’t be free ‘cuz we’re not all free
We can’t be free ‘cuz we’re not all free
(Kinnie) Well I’m not just walking around town
Dragging ideas with me.
Yeah I’ve got a bright mind and a few crowns
I share ‘em with you, see?
Well power’s more powerful passed around
Ancestors louder when we stomp the ground.
We can’t be free ‘cuz we’re not all free
We can’t be free ‘cuz we’re not all free
We can’t be free ‘cuz we’re not all free
We can’t be free ‘cuz we’re not all free
When our friends can’t be who they were born to be
And the world refuses to see, we can’t be free!

One of the very few records I bought without listening to the end... excellent! Reminiscent of Natalie Merchant, in voice and songwriting.
