Watercolors 04:05
take my breath keep it sealed inside a mason jar toss in a bag over your shoulder back of your car so i know that i'll be with you when you're far take my breath keep it sealed inside a mason jar take this pen let the inkwell be your guide deep in your pocket with a notebook at your side so your wildest dreams don't linger on inside take this pen let the inkwell be your guide take this match for the darkness in the night when confidence crumbles and you're paralyzed in fright so the flickering embers lead you to the light take this match for the darkness in the night a carousel of wonder will whisk you down an unfamiliar road despite the distant thunder a watercolor spirit will lighten up your load and every dead end, and every every dead end and every dead end is a chance to begin again take this frame paint a portait with your eyes dissolving like water as it drizzles from the skies so i know that i don't have to say goodbye take this frame paint a portrait with your eyes

strolling through the snow windy in the dead of winter i need someone to hold to loosen up these icy fingers i see you standing over by the riverside so baby inch on closer to me ain't no time to linger footprints in the snow no path to follow but our own we can build a home forgetting all that we have known as we grow older you'll still be there by my side we'll be looking back reflecting on how we have grown spend all of our lives not knowing what we're looking for only then to find what we need is right outside our door outside our door... angels in the snow shadows from the city lights devil from below haunts the lonely winter nights concrete jungle get me out before i die we can go and find ourselves some peace of mind spend all of our lives not knowing what we're looking for only then to find what we need is right outside our door outside our door... dancing through the snow waltzing in the winter weather wherever we may go we'll still have our home together as we grow older you'll still be there by my side as seasons pass only time can make it better spend all of our lives not knowing what we're looking for only then to find what we need is right outside our door outside our door...

The Captain 06:46
i found you wading knee deep in the ocean beckoning the tide to come back in and the glimmer in your eye screams devotion the sand is building castles in your skin and the captain came knocking on your door an envelope sealed with sweat and mud and frozen as a glacier in the mountains a million words to speak lost in empty pages are you afraid of getting old december nights are getting cold and the angel is creeping 'round the corner but we're still here the captain coming home to his daughter eighteen months of february snow with promises delivered from his father an orchard full of seeds he longed to sow sleepless nights befriend the restless days memories and dreams blur his gaze but the letter he delivered was his fortune a million words to speak lost in empty pages are you afraid of getting old december nights are getting cold and the angel is creeping 'round the corner but we're still here the fever comes and passes in the morning i found you lying naked on the floor and electric skies deliver you a warning but you're running through the rain along the shore and the captain is calling out your name beckoning for you to come along and weeping as the raindrops in the ocean together laying flowers at his bedside resting as a peaceful winter evening a million words to speak lost in empty pages are you afraid of getting old december nights are getting cold and the angel is creeping 'round the corner and the angel and the angel but we're still here we're still here we're still here
