The Boy Who Cried Worth

|

|
certainly your good intent is driving me away
your hand in mine would burn so badly
surely, girl, your good intent is ruining my plan
i don't want to dance with you, i don't want you to want me to
i'm the boy who cries worth
you're the girl who's gonna get hurt

Gates of Gloom
03:11
|

would you cut off her hands to such petty offense?
they've cupped the milk of moon
i have opened the gates of gloom, for amy
now she pines
she is sadder than i
her sadness has grown a tree
bearing fruit for you to eat
i will speak in tongues of hell, i will ring your wake-up bell
neither me, the thief, nor you
have the power to undo poor amy
now she pines
she is sadder than i
and her sadness has grown a tree
bearing fruit for you and me

i can hardly wait to see your pretty face again
to have another taste of your honey
i would like to paint with you
all the castles we'll wander
what am i to send to far off distant lands?
love is light and kind, i'm loving all the time
and lovely is the night
the fire in your eyes is of the lasting kind
if i hold the key, i will set your magic free
wild flying beasts, all shadows in the moon
fields of happiness beneath our air balloon
the fire in your eyes is of the lasting kind
the fire in your eyes is of the lasting kind

In the Shade
03:24
|
|||
|
softly, she speaks in waves
her words are snakes to worm their way in
awfully plain to see
she is for you, she is for me
a lovely place to be
in the shade, no one can see
its a lovely place to be
in the shade, no one can see
tongues of lily white, don't shield your eyes
a mouth of mire to taste your sides
lonely in the grass, i'm free at last
hey, whats your name?
little girl, she's going to louisiana to find her cure
walk with me again
through the woods of no regret
its a lovely place to be
in the shade, no one can see

Wandering Eyes
02:56
|
|||
|
come closer rosy cheeks
molly cloak of green
that my wandering eyes might see
her kindness is smiling
a river flows in her, a mist of ghostly white
the welling in her eyes
in the rising of her tides
all my flowers will jump to life

A Light in the Darkness
02:12
|
|||
|
in the mire
we don't see eye to eye
a light in the darkness may never shine
go now to the water
and awake, you're mine
|

|
cold wind, so we meet again
under your current i pass the time
what is it you want?
what is it you want from me?
glass-eyed lady love
hungry mouth and poison tongue
she wields and waves her black wand of suffering
healthy hands to sow and reep
poor heart in a bind, dorothy no more i'll see
she comes to me so longingly
weepy like the willow tree
dorothy no more i'll see

Green Riverside
02:45
|
|||
|
green riverside, your muddy banks to walk
and moss covered stone
will you sing me your song? are you hiding it from me?
will you keep so secretive?
and so, there must be a reason
in the evening your sad fountains weep
young lady, don't lie to me
last night i was lost
a grey fog of grey thought tried to swallow me whole
i'll be waiting night after night until you shed a little light
until you share with me your rhyme
when i meet you, i'll have cast a thousand stones
i'll be bones upon bones
i'll be glowing like a ghost
|

Amy
02:49
|
|||
|
amy, come say hi to me
across these city lines
we'll walk along the river's bends
amy come and stay awhile
i've got some things to show
park your car on the sidewalk, the neighbors they don't mind
but amy's fawned for a river horse
that handsome stallion
and amy's gone forevermore
these are bleak times
amy, come say hi
