Blue
Shifted
Downtown
All around
Traces
Skeletons
Left from the war
Just yesterday
Snapshots
And portraits
Will not do
Blue
Shifted
Hand in hand
Blue
Shifted
Dead leaves
From tall trees
Did not
Expect to see
In my own yard
Did you?
Through windows
Cold winds blow
Blue
Shifted
Dead leaves
Keep falling
Blue
Shifted
Kites they
Fly, they
Fly, they
Fly, they
Lose wind, they
Drop
Someday
If love could find you a little sooner
Would you wait for me?
If you could feel my bones a little sooner
Would you wait for me?
Wait for me
Wait for me
I can give you what you need
Oh darling, wait for me
Don’t conspire with disbelief
Beloved, wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me
Calamities are all I see
Oh darling, wait for me
Pull you out of the mire without delay
Oh darling, wait for me
My lungs collapse, my body bleeds
Oh darling, wait for me
A blood stained tree thrown onto me
Oh darling, wait for me
I won’t give up that ghost It’s sick the way these tongues are twisted The good in us is all we know There’s too much left to taste that’s bitter

one day in the far future I will find one of these sitting on a stand, plugged into a ’59 bassman via Mogami cables .. tubes all warmed and ready to go.
I’ve been living 6 feet under the ground
Dressed in Sunday best
Around me is the finest home
The dead could own
Here I lie haunted by goodbyes
And real sweet dreams
But what good are these?
Oh, without you I can’t breathe
Fill my lungs
Loosen the noose
Awaken me
Set me free
Sweet Jesus Christ my sanity
Sweet Jesus Christ my clarity
Bread of heaven broken for me
Cup of salvation held up to drink
Jesus, the Mystery
Christ has died and
Christ is risen, and
Christ will come again
Celebrate his death and rising
Lift your eyes, proclaim his come
Celebrate his death and rising
Lift you eyes, lift your eyes
