I had a dream of a man with no face
Came to our house and stole the clock off the kitchen wall
I didn't know what to think of it
I had a dream we were dressed up in white
Spinning on carousels
Flying from the old beams of your house
And I knew that it all would run out and I didn't care
We asked him for the silver lining and he said there was none
We asked him where the dark horse flies to and he said she'd be gone
And I can't keep treading time
For it all will run out and we'll fly back to the river
And show me next time where the horse did find water
And write me the rhymes that explain all the darkness inside of the light
And I'll ask you to read in the depths of the night
We asked him for the silver lining and he said there was none
We asked him where the dark horse flies to and he said she'd be gone
And I can't keep living lies for the children that curl up inside of your eyes
And I might let them cry if I thought they could stop
Might let them dance a little before bed
And stay up for toast
But I fear that they might kill us both
Daisy, daisy, give me your answer do
I'm half crazy just for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
But you'd look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle made for two
I had a dream of a man with no face
Came to our house and stole the clock off the kitchen wall
I didn't know what to think of it

The Honeyeaters

I found you in the dust
Biting corners off half baked words
And I thought I couldn't trust myself to speak
So I danced about the dusk, writing letters and floating them down
Never knowing if you could read
Never knowing if seas had eyes like yours
And we ate our silence like honey
Why am I so heavy hearted still?
And outside the people danced in magic
Why am I so heavy hearted still?
And I found you in a prison cell once
And your heart was falling out
And your love was spilling all over the concrete bricks in the wall
And I thought you were a child once
Sailing into distance waters somewhere
For child the wild seas call
And we ate our silence like honey
Why am I so heavy hearted still?
And outside the people danced in magic
Why am I so heavy hearted still?
I found you in the dust
Writing letters to wild eyed seas
And never did I trust myself to speak

White horse he ran he ran to meet me here
Small ants formed lines in cracks in the pavement
The air she was hot and heavy and I felt free
I don't know what you need from me please speak
Dusk fell and we made lemon balm tea
I'm scared I'm scared of what my brain my do to me
She shouted in my mind, she shouted from the rooftops
I told you all her secrets and stashes of fear
He climbed into her cave and he danced with me, me, me
White horse he ran he ran to tell me here
You are you are the devil on my shoulder dear
I can't love you it makes me so unwell

Four Birds

Under the hill we told your mother
All of the things we did not tumble down oh
The mountain side
Inside our truths we found another
Girl just like you but from another womb
Oh how we laughed
Through the trees four birds like leaves flew
And I can't seem to find the light
After the rain we saw an angel
Take all your blame ask if you'd like to sleep
I can't see where your going
We did not cry we did not falter
Mines in your eyes after another star
In the water
Through the trees four birds like leaves flew
And I can't seem to find the light
Through the trees four birds flew like leaves all around
I am loosing my leaves their tumbling down

Candles

I am a cardinal red
Asking so many questions I forgot to look at my truths
And I died I fine death
In the light of death
In the light of death
We swim like fireflies
Out with the sea to a land we'd not seen before
I think I'd like the skies
Maybe our skies have died
In the light of death
In the light of death
I live in sadness now
All it is quiet now
Earth she is sleeping now
We ate the apple so
Light up my death with candles
I like it when you ramble me to sleep
But she sleeps in your mind
And she lies in your eyes
