The Wailin Jennys Şarkı Sözleri ( Lyrics ) Apocalypse Lullaby Hurricanes will come Earthquakes break the walls Oceans rise Empires fall Enter world, light unshown Follow heart, follow home Here we are, light unshown One round heart, one round home Spin the speed of light Tetrahedron blue One last paradise You can make for you Enter world, light unshown Follow heart, follow home Here we are, light unshown One round heart, one round home Faster than a ship Further than bomb See the glowing grid Send love throughout the throng Enter world, light unshown Follow heart, follow home Here we are, light unshone One round heart, one round home...

Arlington Arlington Where do you go little bird When it snows, when it snows When the world turns to sleep Do you know, do you know Is there something in the wind Breathes a chill in your heart and life in your wings Does it whisper 'start againStart again Where is the sun in the night Is it cold, is it cold Does it feel left behind All alone, all alone Does it wander through the dark Does it wait for the dawn, wish on a star Does it stray very far Very far Where is your home restless wind Is it there, is it here Do you search for a place to belong Search in vain, search in fear Or is your spirit everywhere Is your voice every tree Your soul of the air If there's no home is there no death Is there no death...

Avila Avila Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen Never have you fallen upon this town Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen Never have you fallen upon this town The black crows are loaded With the call of things discarded The ribboned shard of battle And everything burned Have they forgotten we live here Do they think that we gave up Lay down and grew over Weeds at every turn Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen Never have you fallen upon this town Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen Never have you fallen upon this town I will not rest Until this place is full of sunlight Or at least until the darkness Is quiet for a while And we will not wait For that murder to come calling The night will simply fall And the morning will rise Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen Never have you fallen upon this town Oh sweet peace, when will you come calling When will you come calling upon this town...

Beautiful Dawn Beautiful Dawn Take me to the breaking of a beautiful dawn Take me to the place where we come from Take me to the end so I can see the start There's only one way to mend a broken heart Take me to the place where I don't feel so small Take me where I don't need to stand so tall Take me to the edge so I can fall apart There's only one way to mend a broken heart Take me where love isn't up for sale Take me where our hearts are not so frail Take me where the fire still owns its spark There's only one way to mend a broken heart Teach me how to see when I close my eyes Teach me to forgive and to apologize Show me how to love in the darkest dark There's only one way to mend a broken heart Take me where the angels are close at hand Take me where the ocean meets the sky and the land Show me to the wisdom of the evening star There's only one way to mend a broken heart Take me to the place where I feel no shame Take me where the courage doesn't need a name Learning how to cry is the hardest part There's only one way to mend a broken heart...

Begin Begin Hey, maybe the time just wasn't right to hang on When are you gonna learn Sometimes things turn instead of turn out Hey, when are you gonna stand Stop looking over your shoulder Me, with a head full of words And not one useful expression Hey, let go We, with holes in our hearts Were whole at the start Our story began We film ourselves 'til the end Try to suspend our lives in the dark Hey, when are you gonna stand Stop looking over your shoulder See, there's a sun in the sky And a moon that will take us til morning When are you gonna stand Stop and begin this moment Hey, let go Let go (will we be the ones to understand?)...

Come All You Sailors Come All You Sailors Come all you sailors Sail upon my sea Swim in these salty waters Cleanse the wounds that run so deep Come all you lovers Give your hearts to me Come with your broken dreams and Your ruined fancies Come all you seekers Realize that you can see Find within your deepest longing That all you need is me...

Firecracker Firecracker A is for apple, B is for blind I jumped so fast I left the ground behind You set your sights homeward And you are more than wise It's late night heading into morning You can get used to almost anything Deep sea eyes, porcelain skin Love's sweet nests and their boxing rings It's late night heading into morning Firecracker, firecracker Sparkling in the sky To those of us who saw Looked like the fire should die Knowledge pulls the reigns against The bliss that I once knew When you set your sights on me And the firecrackers flew Ocean of friendship, diamonds far and deep We still talk of the future Remembering soft sleep A is for apple, apple of my eye It's late night heading into morning Late night heading into morning...

Glory Bound Glory Bound When I hear that trumpet sound I will lay my burdens down I will lay them deep into the ground Then I'll know that I am glory bound I'll be travelling far from home But I won't be looking for to roam I'll be crossing o'er the great divide In a better home soon I will reside Hallelujah When I'm in my resting place I'll look on my mother's face Never more will I have to know All the loneliness that plagues me so So I'm waiting for that train to come And I know where she's coming from Listen can you hear her on the track When I board I won't be looking back Hallelujah...

Heaven When We're Home Heaven When We're Home Don't know what time it is, I've been up for way too long and I'm too tired to sleep I call my mother on the phone, she wasn't home, and now I'm wondering the street I've been a fool, I've been cruel to myself I've been hanging onto nothing when nothing could be worse than hanging on And something tells me there must be something better than all this I've fallen many times in love and every time it's been with the wrong man Still I'm out there living one day at a time and doing the best I can Cuz we've all made mistakes that seem to lead us astray But every time they helped to get us where we are today And that's a good a place as any and it's probably where we're best off anyway It's a long and rugged road and we don't now where it's headed But we know it's going to get us where we're going And when we find what we're looking for we'll drop these bags and search no more 'Cuz it's going to feel like heaven when we're home It's going to feel like heaven when we're home There's no such thing as perfect, and if there is we'll fnd it when we're good and dead Trust me I've been looking bu tonight I think I'll go and take a bath instead And then maybe I'll walk a while and feel the earth beneath me They say if you stop looking it doesn't matter if you find it And whose to say that even if I did it's what I'm really looking for It's a long and rugged road and we don't now where it's headed But we know it's going to get us where we're going And when we find what we're looking for we'll drop these bags and search no more 'Cuz it's going to feel like heaven when we're home It's going to feel like heaven when we're home...

Long Time Traveller Long Time Traveller These fleeting charms of earth Farewell, your springs of joy are dry My soul now seeks another home A brighter world on high I'm a long time travelling here below I'm a long time travelling away from home I'm a long time travelling here below To lay this body down Farewell kind friends whose tender care Has long engaged my love Your fond embrace I now exchange For better friends above I'm a long time travelling here below I'm a long time travelling away from home I'm a long time travelling here below To lay this body down...

Old Man Old Man Old man, look at my life, I'm a lot like you Old man, take a look at my life Twenty-four and I'm so much more Live alone in a paradise, makes me think of two Love lost at such a cost Give me things that don't get lost Like a coin that won't get tossed, rolling home to you Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you I need someone to love me the whole day through Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true Lullabies, look in your eyes Run around the same old town Doesn't mean that much to me, mean that much to you I've been first and last Look at how the time goes past But I'm all alone at last, rolling home to you Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you I need someone to love me the whole day through Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true Old man, look at my life, I'm a lot like you...

One Voice One Voice This is the sound of one voice One spirit, one voice The sound of one who makes a choice This is the sound of one voice This is the sound of voices two The sound of me singing with you Helping each other to make it through This is the sound of voices two This is the sound of voices three Singing together in harmony Surrendering to the mystery This is the sound of voices three This is the sound of all of us Singing with love and the will to trust Leave the rest behind it will turn to dust This is the sound of all of us This is the sound of one voice One people, one voice A song for every one of us This is the sound of one voice This is the sound of one voice...

Prairie Town Prairie Town When it rains it snows in this prairie town There's a good three inches on the ground It seems I'll be losing any peace I've found I see your face all over this town But I know you're nowhere to be found You're far away, you're safe and sound Far from this prairie town Far from this prairie town So leaving seems the thing to do When I'm here I'm lost in thoughts of you And in my dreams I'm city bound But if you ask me to come to you To leave these fields and these skies of blue You know I'd be leaving my sacred ground Leaving this prairie town Leaving this prairie town No one's love comes close to yours Nothing's what it was before My eyes are heavy and my heart is sore Leaving this prairie town Leaving this prairie town When it rains it snows in this prairie town And we just watch it fall to the ground And wait for love to come around So ask me in that way you do And I'll leave these fields and I'll come to you And watch my heart as it breaks in two I'm leaving this prairie town I'm leaving this prairie town...

Saucy Sailor Saucy Sailor Come me own one, come me fair one come now unto me Could you fancy a poor sailor lad who has just come from sea You are ragged love and you're dirty love And your clothes smell much of tar So be gone you saucy sailor lad so be gone you Jack Tar If I am ragged love and I'm dirty love and me clothes smell much of tar I have silver in me pocket love, and gold in great store And then when she heard him say say on her bended knee she fell I will marry my dear Henry, for I love a sailor lad so well Do you think that I am foolish love do you think that I am mad For to wed with a poor country girl where no fortune's to be had I will cross the briny ocean, I will whistle and sing And since you've refused the offer love some other girl shall wear the ring I am frolicsome and I am easy, good tempered and free And I don't give a single pin me boys what the world thinks of me...

Some Good Thing Some Good Thing Think of this heart as an old accident A hardened hit and run Looking ahead but just a little scared To keep all eyes on the road Can you be sure Will this be some good thing Lucky stars to reckon appear again and again Can you believe all that has brought you here You say come on baby let's go ahead and live Who ever knows if love's a sleight of hand Will it hold up to the light And do you ever stop unravelling a happy end With a mind still wound up from a fight Can it be real Will it be some good thing Weathering the fortunes What those stars are gonna bring Will it stay true Will we both see the whole thing true You say come on baby let's go ahead and love Bird on a wire or heart in your hand Looking for a place to find some rest If you batten it down it's not living at all Leaving's just a different kind of death Could you believe Will this be some good thing A place to lay your head down And the will to look again Could it be true Will we both see the whole thing true You say come on baby let's go ahead Come on baby let's go ahead Come baby let's go ahead and live...

Something To Hold Onto Something To Hold Onto There's a light on in your house but you're not home today And each time I come on by you seem so far away Can you give me some reason to hold on Can you give me some reason to stay Got some friends knocking on my door Wondering where I've been Tired of mining for your heart, I've come up for air again Can you give me some reason to hold on Can you give me some reason to stay Stay Now I'm going away, will I leave you crying It's been 40 days but this love is dying I've searched all around for something Something to hold onto, and a reason to stay So I'm cashing in your promises gonna leave without a sound Got a broken heart and aching head cause I know you can't be found Can you give me some reason to hold on Can you give me some reason to stay Stay Now I'm going away, will I leave you crying It's been 40 days but this love is dying I've searched all around for something Something to hold onto, and a reason to stay Stay Now I'm going away, will I leave you crying It's been 40 days but this love is dying I've searched all around for something Something to hold onto, and a reason to stay Something to hold onto, and a reason to stay...

Starlight Starlight I have come back to you broken take me home And my body bears this trouble take me home Take me back to my beginning Before the hell of night set in And I came to this border take me home I have toured the endless starlight take me home I have shattered under midnight take me home There are no vultures in this clearing Except the ones who brought me here And I'll no longer feed them take me home Kingdom come, their will was done And now the earth is far away from any kind of heaven Hallowed be these frozen fields And every single one of us still left in want of mercy Take us home Now the bells stand still and hollow take me home And no one has come to mourn me take me home Find me where I close my eyes Beneath this sky of powerlines And let me see us clearly take me home Kingdom come, their will was done And now the earth is far away from any kind of heaven Hallowed be these frozen fields And every single one of us Still left in want of mercy Take us home...

Take It Down Take It Down Take everything that we've had Take it and burn it to the ground Some things were never meant to last Take it down down down Take it down I'm still married to it all That ain't no place to hand around My love is fifty feet tall Take it down down down Take it down And I've grown accustomed to the way You hurled us into space I'll never make that trip Tears all rusted on my face I'm just an empty place Where your love used to fit South Carolina, where are you? You were once lost, now are found The war is over, the battle's through Take it down down down Take it down Take it down down down Take it down... The Wailin Jennys |
Ten Mile Stilts Ten Mile Stilts Imagine you're a girl on ten mile stilts You travel round the world, taking it all in You'll never touch the ground Is it a blessing or a curse And if you're too high to be found Are you lost or just rehearsed Got a heart that opens clear in this cool September dark It rests on treetop leaves And bursts its little sparks And sometimes it sings its songs And it lets its secrets out Except for one that sears inside That it cannot live without But if I tell you will you take it Will you shine it up to me Can you be strong to let me go on And set this freedom free The stars are out tonight Up here they're ripe to hold But I have learned what comes to those who get too close I'm no Icarus in flight And I'm old enough to know That love is patient, but still unyielding If you leave it long enough it lets you go But if I tell you wil you take it Will you shine it up to me Can you be strong to let me go on And set this freedom free...

The Devil's Paintbrush Road The Devil's Paintbrush Road I held on for so long Dusty quaint old song Things attach with glue Live and die and gone June flowers are so bold On the devil's paintbrush road The devil paints a double life And there I dare not go Live and die and gone Live and die and gone The devil paints a double life Live and die and gone I'm not the cheating kind It snuck from behind Kicked in the door to someday I can't get her off my mind All or nothing now Might as well be true Leave the dream of hearth and home That never will come true Live and die and gone Live and die and gone Leave the dream of hearth and home Live and die and gone Sweet wild road ahead Sweet wild road ahead If I lied and said that all was well I might as well be dead Single I was born And single I will die I'll marry myself to the whole wide world And never make her cry Live and die and gone Live and die and gone I'll marry myself to the whole wide world Live and die and gone Live and die and gone Live and die and gone The devil paints a double life Live and die and gone...

The Parting Glass The Parting Glass Oh all the money that e'er I spent I spent it in good company And all the harm that e'er I've done Alas, it was to none but me And all the harm that e'er I've done Alas, it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had Are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had Would wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be with you all...

Things That You Know Things That You Know It's been a long time since you saw your home Even those you call the closest Have slipped away somehow Feels like a lifetime you've been on the road With so many miles behind you You'd think you'd have left this world by now You've seen more than they could ever know No matter what they say You've earned the right to be so bold But this life it takes its toll on you Every face around you looks so tired and so old And you have not seen everything You have not seen everything But there are things that you know Things that you know From where you've had to go Where you've had to go Maybe soon you'll find a place To call your own To call your home You've walked a good mile in your brother's shoes 'Til your legs could walk no further And your tired soles would burn You know there's peace somewhere around the bend It's been a long time coming And you're ready for your turn And you have not seen everything You have not seen everything But there are things that you know Things that you know From where you've had to go Where you've had to go Maybe soon you'll find a place To call your own To call your home...

This Heart Of Mine This Heart Of Mine If all is fair in love and war I haven't seen the score But it can't be either of those And all this time, thought I was in control But fate she held her own Even when I thought I chose Now the coldest day of winter Has made a home of my heart It burns a cold right through me Tearing me apart When did I lose you? It feels like such a crime When did I lose all The reasons for this rhyme So many questions burning In this heart of mine A thousand memories Of when and where Four walls and a rocking chair Our story sticking to my skin A dusty wind Blows through this broken frame Echoes of your name Shadows fall and night pours in Now the coldest day of winter Has made a home of a heart Says it plans to stay forever Just like you did at the start When did I lose you? It feels like such a crime When did I lose all The reasons for this rhyme So many questions burning In this heart of mine Now the coldest day of winter Is here and here to stay And it burns a cold right through me 'Round the heart you threw away When did I lose you? It feels like such a crime When did I lose all The reasons for this rhyme So many questions burning In this heart of mine... The Wailin Jennys |
This Is Where This Is Where The wind howls 'cross the ice floes Send the frozen snow skimming A river on a river hardened over It doesn't know the way it's going Is it north or south or westward It just glides across the shoreline 'til it's over You came for me in fast forward On a claim for something ordered A way through and past the history that held you I'd tell my own story through you Tell it loud to never lose you A moth caught be the flame it could cannot measure And there we go again, wishing something bolder Trying to push and pull inside this moment Trying to mold this life within our hands This is where the whole world keeps on turning This is where we come undone...undone Will they measure me by branches Count the rings and take my ashes Mark the ground where I fell and carry on Or will we bite against the silence Fill our days with noise and violence Not recognize our hearts when we are done There we'll go again wishing something bolder Trying to push and pull inside this moment Trying to mold this life within our hands This is where the whole world keeps on turning This is where we come undone We don't know where it's going Is it north or south or westward It just glides across the shoreline 'til it's over...

Untitled Untitled To the man who lost his mind Left home for the last time They found him in the wintertime Looking for something he couldn't find They shipped him way out West Thought they'd put their minds at rest Now they've thrown the key away And there's nothing left to say Waiting for a saviour Show me you're so sad Wipe the tears that you've had Show me you're so sad To the girl who lives next door Wonders what her life is for She's waiting for her valentine To kiss her in the summertime He doesn't come and so she cries Locks her door and hopes to die Now she's thrown the key away And there's nothing left to say Waiting for a saviour Show me you're so sad Wipe the tears that you've had Show me you're so sad Now to the ones you've left behind Were they not worth your time They never heard you say goodbye They never got a reason why And here's to you who couldn't see What it was you did to me Now you've thrown it all away And there's nothing left to say And there's nothing left to say Waiting for a saviour Show me you're so sad Wipe the tears that you've had Show me you're so sad...
