I've had you with me when I first laid coins on the track
If you leave I'm not sure how it will be if you do come back
I felt you dance in the summer wind when you were long and thin
So if I ask for a handful of space, would you still come home again?
It's the little things you miss when it all changes
Even if you're the one doing the moving on
When the world shifts and you get rearranged
When your grief lies melting in the sun
When your grief is just you melting in the sun
When I first met you I had sunlight in my hair
Hot asphalt kissed my feet and you were always there
Looking at you now I know those days won't come again
I know we both aren't the boys that we were back then
It's the little things you miss when it all changes
When your old leather boots start to rub you sore
When the world shifts and you get rearranged
When it's the last time you close a door
When it's the very last time you close a door
When the dusk was deep you made me feel like I'd be okay
That the moon would rise and I'd smile up at her someday
But we are trees growing hard against a chain link fence
I just had hoped to take you with me when I danced in my blue dress
It's the little things you miss when it all changes
When you trade yourself in like an old used car
The world around you shifts and you get rearranged
When you sail your ship so far out past the bar
When the world makes you into what you are

God Bless the Preacher

God bless the preacher, god bless the bends
God bless the one who has to die in the end
God bless you and all the things you might be
God bless the wind and the deep roaring sea
I sent me with the willows across the roaring deep
Sent me to where breakers will rock me to my sleep
For I know I'll find you someday, though I don't know your face
You live amongst the lizards in that dry, holy place
God bless the children they know what they did
God bless you simon and your brand new little kid
God bless the stones and the roots of the trees
God bless the winds and the deep roaring sea
There is a rest that is solemn and long
That someday will be broken by the trumpets loud song
But God willing I won't hear it, but slumbering remain
To keep unbroken silence in that soft summer rain
God bless the ones who have never read the book
God bless the ones who count themselves forsook
And God bless the nothing that follows our unease
God bless the wind and the deep roaring sea
God bless You, god bless Me
God bless the living who have yet to come to be
God bless the millions who dreamless lie in peace
God bless the wind and the deep roaring seas

Golden Fleece
02:27
|

I got sad for like a goddamn week
And Helle lost her grip on the golden fleece
The water met her and she saw him fly
Because Phrixus didn't stop to say goodbye
Oh I don't want to fall all alone
Though Icarus smiled as he dropped like a stone
Our fathers tell and we will not hear
The wax burns our skin, the wind in our ears
I wake from the dream where I am a boy
My skin is rough my eyes filled with joy
Now I'm softer and I'm filled with sand
Moses never set foot in the promised land
Because I don't want to fall asleep all alone
With my fingers curled round an unhewn stone
And Icarus was singing so clear
Until silence was all his father could hear
And they finally got me on anti-psychotics
And Helle is drowning in 20 feet of water
But I'm on land and I'm feeling fine
Staining my teeth on dark bitter wine
Cause I don't want to fall down a hole
With my fingers slipping on a falling stone
Icarus he was somebody's dear
But Helios carries a bitter spear

Jangly Girlfriend

Jangly Girlfriend made of spare parts
Jangly Girlfriend, with a big heart
Carries it with her as a gift for you
And says, "I love you, yes I do"
Jangly Girlfriend needs to recharge
Jangly Girlfriend is trying real hard
To drink enough water and get enough sleep
And says, "I love you, wide and deep"
Jangly Girlfriend fusses and frets
Jangly Girlfriend makes a big mess
Making big dinners to let you know
That she loves you, no matter where you go
Jangly Girlfriend her joints come loose
Jangly Girlfriend like a pair of old shoes
Needs to be held and needs to be told
That all her worn leather shines like gold!

If They Kill Me
03:37
|

|
If they kill me, they kill me
And if I die, I die
But God has dug for me a grave
Beyond the western sky
It's a hole that he made in the earth
Six feet long and six feet deep
And there wrapped up in my own true name
I'll lay me down and sleep, and sleep
I was born with a shaking
Deep in my marrowbones
And late in the night I hear them rattle
As I lie alone
And who knows if the path that we're walking
Is set on level ground?
When the debtors come to call I'll lay
My lonesome body down
No point in fighting a feeling
The oceans too will dry
I saw you by the cabin walls
Covering both your eyes
If a boat will make the trip
All along the rocky shore
I'll go where you could not
To never return no more

Felicidad, Felicidad
Pienso en ti mi Felicidad
Mi corazon, donde estas?
La noche no me trae paz
Felicidad, Felicidad
Pienso en ti mi Felicidad
Y cuando yo lloro, es por ti
Porque tu no piensas en mi
Felicidad, Felicidad
Pienso en ti mi Felicidad

All respect in the world to Chris Boerner but this remaster is a little unfortunate. These sound a bit hollow and thin compared to the originals. Not sure what it is, but clarity and crispness is missing. With all this said, the three Yoyo releases are some of my absolutely favorites and I'm so glad this is now available for more to listen to. Hopefully the others are coming!
