'Bright Eyes'.
Music and lyrics by Thom Carter. © 2011 Verlaine Records.
I lost my way, I lost my way,
In the trees, by the lake.
And in the shelter of their arms,
I walked without a path,
Deep within.
Deep within.
I recall. Yes, I recall,
With the eyes of a painting,
The climb and the fall.
I recall,
The climb and the fall.
So I went down to that place,
That others before me had known,
And I drank of the water of a spring,
As it flowed.
And I was that water,
As it flowed.
As it flowed.
*
I know that its been,
So long between,
You and me,
These days.
Feels like it is,
That time again,
When the night comes early,
‘Round here.
But its bright in your eyes,
And warm by your side,
So I don’t need to explain these things.
*
So I walked on,
Yes, I walked – as I’d begun,
And I found there,
Upon the ground,
The rails of a train,
To take me back,
To a town.
To a town.
So I stood there,
Upon the rails,
And I could feel,
The difference between,
The woods,
And the man-made world.
The woods,
And the man-made world.
Now I could hear,
The coming sound,
Vibrating through those lines of iron.
And it was distant,
Though I could see it now –
A train,
Bearing down.
A train.
Would I turn?
Or lay back down?
Or lay back down?
*
I know that it’s been,
So long between,
You and me,
These days.
Feels like it is,
That crazy thing,
When you just want to leave,
And disappear,
But it’s bright in your eyes,
And still warm by your side,
So I don’t want to leave,
Just yet,
No, I don’t want to leave.
No, I don’t,
No, I don’t want to leave…
Just yet,
No, I don’t want to leave
No, I don’t,
No, I don’t want to leave you…
Just yet.

‘Into the Ocean’
Music and lyrics by Thom Carter. © 2011 Verlaine Records.
I’ll sleep by the water,
I’ll sleep by the sea,
I’ll sleep by the ocean,
I’ll sleep by the water,
I’ll sleep by the sea,
I’ll sleep by the ocean,
I’ll sleep in the ocean you left for me,
I’ll sleep in the ocean,
I’ll sleep in the ocean you left for me,
I’ll sleep in the ocean,
I’ll drive in silence on the road,
I’ll drive in silence,
I’ll drive with sirens on my tail,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
I’ll sleep by the water,
I’ll sleep by the sea,
I’ll sleep by the ocean,
I’ll sleep by the water,
I’ll sleep by the sea,
I’ll sleep by the ocean,
I’ll drive in silence on the road,
I‘ll drive in silence
I’ll drive in silence on the road,
Into the ocean,
I’ll drive with sirens on my tail,
Into the ocean,
I’ll drive with sirens on my tail,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
Into the ocean,
I’ll sleep in the ocean you left for me,
I’ll sleep in the ocean,
I’ll sleep in the ocean you left for me,
I’ll sleep in the ocean,
I’ll drive in silence on the road,
Ill drive in silence,
I’ll drive in silence on the road,
I’ll drive in silence,
I’ll drive in silence on the road,
I’ll drive in silence,
And I’ll watch you go,
Watch you in a sea of gold,
Yeah, I’ll watch you go,
Watch you in a sea of gold,
Of gold,
Yeah, I’ll let you go,
Let you in a sea of gold,
Yeah, I’ll let you go,
Wash you in a sea of gold,
I’ll let you go,
Let you in a sea of gold,
Of gold,
Of gold,
Of gold.

‘As You Were’
Music and lyrics by Thom Carter. © 2011 Verlaine Records.
I am the lord,
I am,
And the love,
Of the land,
I am as you were,
As you were,
I am as, as you were,
As, as you were,
I am as you were,
As you were,
As you were,
And I loved you,
As you were,
As you were,
As you were,
As you were,
As you were
As you were,
As you were,
As you were,
As you were
As you were,
And I loved you,
As you were,
As you were,
And I loved you,
As you were,
As you were,
And I loved you,
As you were,
As you were.
