Wishes of You

Music and words: Dan

Perception is never as good as real
You can’t see I’m hiding
The morning waits only for my tears
To know it’s here

I’m looking for a storm to hide my tracks
I think to grow is like singing in the snow
The quiet of your own voice
As your face gets cold

I lay my head in someone’s night
Another pillow in disguise
Touch the window still outside
And it’s so snowy

I’m looking for a storm to hide my tracks
To turn the pages back
Where I’m the wishes of you

The Promise

Music and words: When in Rome

Come By

Music and words: Dan

By candlelight we’d tell stories
Flowers, hearts, and stones
On the radio, our favorite voices
All alight, there’s you

I say, “Come by.” I wait -- look up the night’s a different place
Here I lie, the porch feels old ‘til morning’s lonely on my face

Collect your toys in my room
Little noises in the walls come through
Every word I want to say you put behind you

I say, “Come by.” I wait -- look up the night’s a different place
Here I lie, the porch feels old ‘til morning’s lonely on my face
Just don’t try too hard to find a place for me in there
Know your blood goes cold when morning toes
Can’t feel your own bed

Just sleep, we’ll be better
And we’re so long together
We’re slow to remember
It’s all in letters by the fire

I am alright if it’s you
Watch my best side slowly through
Let the world fly by
All alight, if it’s you
All alight, if it’s you

I say, “Come by.” I wait -- look up the night’s a different place
Here I lie, the porch feels old ‘til morning’s lonely on my face
Just don’t try too hard to find a place for me in there
Know your blood goes cold when morning toes
Can’t feel your own bed
Train’s on time but all the windows show the same damn face
Walked the rails for years, now I can feel the distance always
