Landslide

Posted in Song Lyrics on January 28th, 2008

I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
And I’m getting older too

Well…

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I’m getting older, too
Well I’m getting older too

So, take this love and take it down
Yeah and if you climb a mountain and ya turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well maybe
Well maybe
Well maybe
The landslide will bring you down

Parting Ways

Posted in Song Lyrics on January 26th, 2008

Behind her eyes there’s curtains
And they’ve been closed to hide the flames…
Remains

She know’s their future’s burning
But she can smile just the same…
Same

And though her mood is fine today
There’s a fear they’ll soon be parting ways

Standing like a statue
A chin of stone, a heart of clay…
Hey

And though he’s too big a man to say
There’s a fear they’ll soon be parting ways

Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away…

- Pearl Jam

Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town

Posted in Song Lyrics on January 26th, 2008

I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet, I can’t seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me

All these changes taking place
I wish I’d seen another place
But no one’s ever taken me

Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away

I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me, you wouldn’t recall
For I’m not my former
It’s hard when you’re stuck upon the shelf

I changed by not changing at all
Small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that’s what no one wants to see

I just want to scream - “Hello!”
My God, it’s been so long
Never dreamed you’d return
But now here you are…and here I am

But hearts and thoughts, they fade…away

Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away…

Black

Posted in Song Lyrics on January 26th, 2008

Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn

And all I taught her was everything
I know she gave me all that she would

And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside
I’m surrounded by
Some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear

Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head
I’m spinning, oh, I’m spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away…

And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything

All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All I’ll be…

I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life
I know you’ll be the sun
In somebody else’s sky
But why, why, why can’t it be
Why can’t it be mine?

- Pearl Jam

Swamp Song

Posted in Song Lyrics on January 20th, 2008

My warning meant nothing.
Youre dancing in quicksand.
Why dont you watch where youre wandering?
Why dont you watch where youre stumbling?
Youre wading knee deep and going in.
Youre wading knee deep and going in.

This bog is thick and easy to get lost in.
Cause youre a stupid, belligerent ****er.
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in.
Cause youre a dumb and belligerent ****er.
I hope it sucks you down…

My warning meant nothing.
Youre dancing in quicksand.
Why dont you watch where youre wandering?
Why dont you watch where youre stumbling?
Youre wading knee deep and going in.
And you may never come back again.

This bog is think and easy to get lost in.
Cause youre a stupid, belligerent ****er.
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in.
Cause youre a dumb ass belligerent ****er.
I hope it sucks you down.

I hope it sucks you, ****er, I hope it sucks you down.

Wandering, wandering, no one even invited you in.
Youre still stumbling, suffocate, suffocate,
Why dont you get away?
Wandering around, who let you in?
No one even invited you in.
Youre still stumbling, suffocate, suffocate,
Why dont you get out while you can?
No one told you to come.
Why don’t you get out?

My warning meant nothing.
Youre dancing in quicksand.
Why dont you watch where youre wandering?
Why dont you watch where youre stumbling?
Youre wading knee deep and going in.
And you may never come back again.

I hope it sucks you, I hope it sucks you, I hope it sucks you down…
