write me a letter when you arrive
and i will know your hand
and i'll know your safe while your away
until your home again
write me a postcard before you sleep
and tell me of your day
tell me amusements that you have tried
and of the friends you've made
soon the lens of my dry eye will capture light from your face
but while you take shelter in god's long arms won't you please gaze my way
and see how the starlight overhead
bleeds across the sky
and see how the bluejay winds and she dives
she's tumbling as she flies
and soon the lens of my dry eye will capture light from your face
but there's part of you with me in my heart and a part that's passed away

honeymoon the blushing bride
crossed the threshold what did she find
her wedding bed a barren frame
the wind it was calling her name
dorothy dorothy dorothy
lover lover where have you taken me
across the river to a strange country
lover lover will we ever return
if you wish dear, but hear me out first
dorothy dorothy be with me eternally
sleep with me under the floor
dorothy dorothy hush now succumb to me
and i'll be eternally yours
lover lover where is your dress
i took off dear, i've no need for it
lover lover where is your flesh
i gave it up, now i'm merely this breath whispering
dorothy dorothy be with me eternally
sleep with me under the floor
dorothy dorothy choose now or run from me
for i'll answer one question more
lover lover how will i change
you'll remember nothing, only your name
dorothy dorothy be with me eternally
sleep with me under the floor
dorothy dorothy hush now succumb to me
and i'll be eternally yours
dorothy dorothy someone was calling me
oh but my memory's so poor
dorothy dorothy that once was a name for me
but now i'm eternally yours

Fall Apart
01:16

fall apart
like the pieces of my broken heart
cupid shoots his tiny dart
and suddenly i fall apart
fall apart
i'm as stable as a house of cards
remove the queen of hearts
and suddenly i fall apart
fall apart
you've upset me like an apple cart
when you push too hard
suddenly i fall apart

Mister Policeman
03:27
|

on the night, on the night
that i learned my body died
and the coroner's form, he wrote down suicide
and the portal appeared, but i did not go for fear
that my vengeance would be undone
mr policeman
help a deceased man
find my killer he's at large
and throw him in jail
or send him straight to hell
and i will finally be at peace
on the night, on the night
i came home to find my wife
in bed with a man well i tried to take his life
but he put up a fight and held me down so tight
and put a shotgun to my teeth
oh mr policeman
help a deceased man
find my killer he's at large
and throw him in jail
or send him straight to hell
and i will finally be at peace
i was an honest man
a presbyterian
and my wife, my wife she was a cheat
and deputy was there and the sheriff he don't care
and i will never be at peace
when your portal appears
just go, don't linger here
where i've been wandering all these years
for vengeance is sweet
but it's always incomplete
and i will never be at peace
mr policeman
help a deceased man
find my killer he's at large
and throw him in jail
or send him straight to hell
and i will never be at peace
and i will never be at peace
and i will never be at peace

The Lion's Mane
02:54
|

when the lion's mane washed ashore
and the swimmers' skin grew red and shore
an important lesson by all was learned
that by death she is not deterred
by death she is not deterred
for beneath her flesh the poison stirs
and it made a mess of rye new hampshire
by death she is not deterred
strangely beautiful
her mane of tentacles
but leave them as they were
for by death she is not deterred
and the simmers there who had all been burned
they gathered around to look at her
and by now you know the words
by death she was not deterred
strangely beautiful
her mane of tentacles
but leave them as they were
for by death she is not deterred

Dandelion Wine

dandelion wine
a little sip of summer time
shining as bright as a firefly
in the dark when a cold wind blows in my heart
someday soon the sun is gonna shine
like dandelion wine
dandelion wine
shivering on a winter night
and i'm blue as the hue of dragon fly
'cause its dark and a cold wind blows in my heart
but someday soon the sun is gonna shine
like dandelion wine
someday soon
some warm afternoon
we'll laugh one more time
but until we do
pass the...
dandelion wine
a little sip of summer time
shining as bright as a firefly
in the dark when a cold wind blows in my heart
someday soon the sun is gonna shine
like dandelion wine

no regrets no deferrals
there's no second chance
just dance and a twirl
at the ending of the world
just a boy and a girl
just a moment for romance
take a chance give it a whirl
it's the ending of the world
and you always knew
the end would be like this
that you'd stroll up to me
and you'd slay me with a kiss
nothing lost nothing gained
just the love that we made
here it comes clutch your pearls
it's the ending of the world
one last look
one last kiss
one last breath
this is it
one last night
one last summer night
at the ending of the world
