Mockingbird Time

Jayhawks Mockingbird Time Lyrics
1.Darkest Hour


2.Touch The Stars

I hold the world right here in my hand
Read the words you wrote me and all that you said so
Hold on tight and we'll catch the wind
We'll watch it blow us high enough

Where we can touch the stars
We can touch the stars
We can touch the stars

My pockets ain't full but I do what I can
People talking at me but I don't understand yet
We're not very far if we raise our arms
And reach through the clouds high enough

Where we can touch the stars
We can touch the stars
We can touch the stars

Everyone can remember our time
Everyone can remember our time
Make it good let it shine
Make it good let it shine

I hold the world right here in my hand
Read the words you wrote me and all that you said so
Hold on tight and we'll catch the wind
We'll watch it blow us high enough

Where we can touch the stars
We can touch the stars
We can touch the stars
We can touch the stars


3.Hide Your Colors

Best word is the silence
Stood by like a brother
Carried on the back
Stood there with the others

Not one of them forgave me
Kept out in the desert
Locked up with the keys
I never knew how it could be

Look what you asked for, don't be shy
You shouldn't hide your colors
You shouldn't hide your colors
You shouldn't hide

Someone laid a hand
Best remembered answer
Where you come to stand
Looking out my window

Not one of them was calling
Swept up in the ashes
Behind summer leaves
I never knew how it should be

Look what you asked for, don't be shy
You shouldn't hide your colors
You shouldn't hide your colors
You shouldn't hide

Everyday rolling by you
Everyday rolling by you
Rolling by you
Rolling by you

Look what you asked for, don't be shy
You shouldn't hide your colors
You shouldn't hide your colors
You shouldn't hide your colors
You shouldn't hide your colors


4.Closer To Your Side

Please let me be the one
To see you in the day
To know you in the night
I'd run to your side
Better know that you're from
Another side of town, long way

You, my heart I can give it to
You, my soul
I can make it with you
It's all I can do, my soul

Closer to your side
I walk with you tonight
Closer to your side
I walk with you tonight

Please let me be the one
To see you in the day
To know you in the night
I'd run to your side
Better know that you're from
Another side of town, long way

You, my heart I can give it to
You, my soul
I can make it with you
It's all I can do, my soul

Closer to your side
I walk with you tonight
Closer to your side
I walk with you tonight

It's hard to make things better
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try

Take some time along with me
Take some time along with me
Take some time along with me

You, my heart I can give it to
You, my soul
I can make it with you
It's all I can do, my soul

Closer to your side
I walk with you tonight
Closer to your side
I walk with you tonight

Closer to your side
I walk with you tonight


5.Tiny Arrows

Wandered through the desert
Looking for my way
Under rocks and houses
Snakes burn in the day
Coyote is howling
In the mountains far away

Dusty winters
Leave what's left behind
There are no reasons
To find what I call mine
Fences mean nothing
The sunrise disappears

Sit and watch the river flow
Try and touch the sky

And I don't mind
The sound of the song bird trying
Follow what you can find
Childhood washed away
Where did it go?
Where, where did it go?

The wind is whistling
Coats are buttoned high
Funny people
With nowhere left to hide
The canyon caravan
Rolls along

Sit and watch the river flow
Try and touch the sky

And I don't mind
The sound of the song bird trying
Follow what you can find
Childhood washed away
Where did it go?
Where, where did it go?

Didn't know those tiny arrows
Made of metal, pierced the heart
Didn't know those tiny arrows
Made of metal, pierced the heart
I didn't know those tiny arrows
Made of metal, pierced the heart

Sit and watch the river flow
Try and touch the sky

And I don't mind
The sound of the song bird trying
Follow what you can find
Childhood washed away
Where did it go?
Where, where did it go?

Where, where did it go?


6.She Walks In So Many Ways

She walks in so many ways
She wonders 'lone in the shade
She shakes herself in the dust
Whispers all things will be silence

She turns with sound in the sink
Cloud burst, our eyes never meet
Ideas starting to move
Slow as we drink from the sunshine

As you go, so I go
Where you stand, I will stand
Stronger than the wind

We live in houses of light
Our dreams stay with us at night
She listens all things are right
All things are just as they should be

The past in the silence
She moves among them
She lives among them

As you go, so I go
Where you stand, I will stand
Stronger than the wind

She walks in so many ways
She wonders 'lone in the shade
She shakes herself in the dust
Whispers all things will be silence


7.High Water Blues

On a nice spring day
I found a cage in the yard
It was just that way
I found a cage in the yard

I was thinking back about all the times
I was stuck in the basement
With the booze on my mind
I was thinking back about all the times
I was stuck in the basement
With the booze on my mind

High water, high water
High water blues
High water, high water
High water blues

All the keys that I made
Never fit in the car

I was reeling and I couldn't be found
Like the hammer hits a nail
I was bent upside down
I was reeling and I couldn't be found
Like the hammer hits a nail
I was bent upside down

High water, high water
High water blues
High water, high water
High water blues

Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin

Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin

Broken bottle's a disgrace
Weeds and old metal wire
I used an old black tire

All my pictures were locked up in a trunk
When the water came up
It was just my bad luck
All my pictures were locked up in a trunk
When the water came up
It was just my bad luck

High water, high water
High water blues
High water, high water
High water blues

Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin

Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin


8.Mockingbird Time

Yesterday is gone like the wind
Like the wind, it is gone
Yesterday is gone like the wind
Like the wind, it is gone
In the song birds that most never see
It taught me how to halt

I want to make something for you
That brings you joy
I want to make something for you
That brings you joy

There's so much color in the sky that's in your eyes
The moment that we see each other alone
There's so much color in the sky that's in your eyes
Moment that we see each other alone

Each day as we walk up the hill
Will the clouds hear our song?
Each day as we walk up the hill
Will the clouds hear our song?
Noise in our hearts
Is the one from the sky that lives on

I want to make something for you
That brings you joy
I want to make something for you
That brings you joy

There's so much color in the sky that's in your eyes
Moment that we see each other alone
There's so much color in the sky that's in your eyes
The moment that we see each other alone

Where you are that's where I live
I'm reaching out for words to give
I'm walking on by, telling you why
I've really gone back, mockingbird time
I've really gone back, you're all that I have

So much color in the sky that's in your eyes
Moments that we see each other alone
There's so much color in the sky that's in your eyes
Moment that we see each other alone

There's so much color
There's so much color
There's so much color
There's so much color in the sky


9.Stand Out In The Rain

Where you going all alone?
Where you going all alone?
Where you going all alone
Where you going?

What you gonna do when your time has come?
What you gonna do when your time has come?
What you gonna do when your time has come
And gone?

Imagine anything
On your own
You'll find different things
On your own

Take me down to the river tonight
And let me stand out in the rain
Take me down to the river tonight
And let me stand out in the rain

Stand out in the rain
Stand out in the rain

Where's the flash from lightning storms?
Where's the flash from lightning storms?
There's the flash from lightning storms
On the ground

There's a kind of freeze that goes deeper down
There's a kind of freeze that goes deeper down
There's a kind of freeze that goes deeper down
And down

What's the matter now
With your sight?
You may disappear
Into the night

Take me down to the river tonight
And let me stand out in the rain
Take me down to the river tonight
And let me stand out in the rain

Stand out in the rain
Stand out in the rain

Where you going all alone?
Where you going all alone?
Where you going all alone?
Where you going?


10.Cinnamon Love


11.Guilder Annie

Walking home so early
I hardly trust my eyes
Feel your presence with me
I feel your warmth inside
One day forwards, backwards
I fall into your arms

Find a landing, Guilder Annie
Down on easy street
Hope she'll get down on the pavement
And see things how I see them

See things how I see them
See things how I see them
How I see them

Last time I saw Annie
She had laughter she had smiles
All my green glass bottles
A wino's cosmic child
One day forwards, backwards
I fall into your arms

Find a landing, Guilder Annie
Down on easy street
Hope she'll get down on the pavement
And see things how I see them

See things how I see them
See things how I see them
How I see them

And the children mourn
(Bought you a cane from an old field
Brought you cane that I found for you)
No longer standing high above us
(Bought you a cane from an old field
Brought you cane that I found for you)

All day long they can

Walking home so early
I hardly trust my eyes
Feel your presence with me
I feel your warmth inside
One day forwards backwards
I fall into your arms


12.Black-Eyed Susan

Tell us what to do black-eyed Susan
Should I leave you where I found you
Or take you back to him
We first met at night that's why we were never friends
Tell us what to do black-eyed Susan

This is gonna be a dark road
We both believed in something, had it taken from them
You'll want to forget about this road
Till it reached inside your pockets

Tell us what to do black-eyed Susan
There's a top writer from a business college
That once paid for our home and spoon collection
Tell us what to do black-eyed Susan

This is gonna be a dark road
We both believed in something, had it taken from them
You'll want to forget about this road
Till it reached inside your pockets

It's 4 in the morning, I think that I should go home
No good stuck inside your door
Needs some other time
Needs some other time
Needs some other time

This is gonna be a dark road
This is gonna be a dark road
Tell us what to do black-eyed Susan
Tell us what to do black-eyed Susan

Remember your father, I spoke to him of our love
Tell us what to do black-eyed Susan
This is gonna be a dark road
This is gonna be a dark road


13.Pouring Rain At Dawn

Baby, close the door
The only one you know
The footsteps you keep
Wondering on and on
Pouring rain at dawn

Set yourself at ease
You're always on my mind
Close the door
I'd close the door to that song
I chose my way to fall

I don't wanna be ungrateful
I don't wanna be unfaithful
I just wanna be the one you want
I can't turn back the hands of time
But if I could I'd make you mine
I was always so in love with you

Landed on my knees
The rose you gave to me
Healing comes to those
Who are the most in need
The ones you're looking for

Say before I go
This is all I know
The reasons why I can't rely on
All this time
It only go so slow

I don't wanna be ungrateful
I don't wanna be unfaithful
I just wanna be the one you want
Can't turn back the hands of time
But if I could I'd make you mine
I was always so in love with you

Never should be breaking your heart again
Never should be breaking your heart again

Baby, close the door
The only one you know
The footsteps you keep
Wondering on and on
Pouring rain at dawn

Pouring rain at dawn
Pouring rain at dawn


14.Hey Mr. Man

Hey, Mr. Man
Don't you call her name no more
Don't you call her name
Wait, try to understand
Offer up a word or two
Written in the sand

Sleeping in the morning light
In the morning light, in the morning light
Sleeping in the morning light
In the morning light, in the morning light

All these alibis
Thinking you can stay in wild
And watch the grass grow high

Will you ever, ever go home?
Why are you staying alone?
Will you ever, ever go?
Will you ever, ever go home?
Come back to the farm

Lay, lay down by the stream
With the blade of grass in hand
With the blade of grass
Stay, stay there with your bride
The one that you imagine comes
The one that never comes

Talking to an empty cup
Hand me down the cup
Hand me down the cup
Talking to an empty cup
Hand me down the cup
Hand me down the cup

Looking there for a sign
Leaving these blues
And whatever I dream behind

Will you ever, ever go home?
Why are you staying alone?
Will you ever, ever go?
Will you ever, ever go home?
Come back to the farm

Go back to the farm
Go back to the farm
Go back to the farm
Go back to the farm
