Sixpence None The

Sixpence None The Richer Sixpence None The Lyrics
1.We Have Forgotten

dreams inconsistent angel things
horses bred with star laced wings
but it's so hard to make them fly fly fly
these wings beat the night sky 'bove the town
one goes up and one goes down
and so the chariot hits the ground bound bound

we have forgotten don't try to make me fly
how it used to be i'll stay here i'll be fine
how it used to be don't go and let me down
how it used to be i'm starting to like this town

when wings beat the night sky 'bove the ground
will i unwillingly shoot them down
with all my petty fears and doubts down down

we have forgotten am i in love with this
how it used to be my constant broken ship
how it used to be don't go i'll shoot you down
how it used to be i'm starting to like this town


2.Anything

This is my forty-fifth depressing tune
They're looking for money as they clean my artistic womb
And when I give birth to the child I must take to flight
'Cause the black in our pockets won't let us fight a proper
fight
So hey baby, can you shed some light on the problem, maybe?
'Cause we're all tired and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign

But anything would be fine

We're all told to dance but we never picked the tune
Hanging like puppets they feed us from bent steel spoons
But we're sealing our lips for the someday when the needle and
the vinyl play
All the songs of the pain, songs that explain all our circles
and strains
So hey baby, can you shed some light on the problem maybe?
'Cause we're all crying and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign

But anything would be fine

We're all dying and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show
'Yes, we should like to see you pack your tents, shut down your
show.'
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign

But anything would be fine

Oh, anything would be fine


3.The Waiting Room

fight 'til your fists bleed baby
beat the fate walls enclosing you maybe
god will unlock the cage of learning for you
fight 'til your fists bleed baby
kick and scream at the wicked things maybe
god will unlock the door you need to walk through
when will it happen baby
it could be near but then maybe it could be far

here we are in the waiting room of the world
we will wait until you call our name out loud
in the waiting room of the world
we will wait until you call our name out loud
and the battle will never end well
you can't marry our heaven to your hell
we prolific and you the devourer need to see
some things are sacred baby
why have you gone and trampled them lately
i guess it's just all a part of your way
you should be ashamed
i'm getting tired of fighting
i guess i should ask do i go quietly down
do i kick do i scream when i'm bound
are you coming to open the door are you near
are you near is it far


4.Kiss Me

kiss me out of the bearded barley
nightly beside the green green grass
swing swing swing the spinning step
you wear those shoes and i will wear that dress

oh kiss me beneath the milky twilight
lead me out on the moonlit floor
lift your open hand
strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
silver moon's sparkling
so kiss me
kiss me down by the broken tree house
swing me upon its hanging tire
bring bring bring your flowered hat
we'll take the trail marked on your father's map


5.Easy To Ignore

you and the moon are a beautiful sight to me
the stars in your eyes make it really hard to see you
a night in the sun is all i really want
you and me with the best of both for once

night breaks my heart could not ache anymore
am i that easy to ignore
you let your song blow right through me
your mighty intellect makes you mighty hard to see
will there come a time for me to be more to you more to me


6.Puedo Escribir

el viento de la noche gira en el cielo y canta
el viento de la noche gira en el cielo
the night wind revolves in the sky and sings
the night wind revolves in the sky

oir la noche inmensa mas inmensa sin ella
y el verso cae al alma como al pasto el rocío
to hear the immense night still more immense without her
and the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture

tonight i can write the saddest lines
the saddest lines about her


7.I Can't Catch You

i guess you could say i'm a little afraid
what if you go away i've seen it before
i've been here before
if i have to love myself tell me how to love myself
what's there to love about myself
i just wan't to see that as a person you want me

but i'm feeling the pain of all these bags in the way
and i'm thinking you're just gonna run away
and i can't catch you
i guess i would say that i want you to stay
'cause you have this strange knack
adds a glow to my black as you chase it all away
and i hope that you can see i will someday leave these things
i am waiting to be free

oh i want to catch you


8.The Lines Of My Earth

the lines of my earth so brittle unfertile and ready to die
i need a drink but the well has run dry
and we in the habit of saying the same things all over again
for the money we shall make

this is the last song that i write
'til you tell me otherwise
and it's because i just don't feel it
this is the last song that i write
'til you tell me otherwise
and it's because i just don't feel it anymore
it should be our time this fertile youth's black soil is ready
for rain
the harvest is nigh but the well has gone dry
and they in the habit of saying the same things all over again
about the money we shall make


9.Sister, Mother

My life is plagued
By mistakes, broken love, slaps in the face
But i'm trying to care, to dare to embrace your face

Hug him like a brother
Kiss her like a sister
Let it be my mother for now

I want to find where the maid in the street
Is pouring her wine
I heard she takes you in and gives you the words
You need said

If you'll be her brother
She'll kiss you like a sister
She'll even be your mother for now

Hug him like a brother
Kiss her like a sister
Let it be my mother
Let it be my father
I will be her brother
Kiss her like a sister
Come and be my mother forever


10.I Won't Stay Long

leaves are falling and something's calling me here
the state of depression that i'm walking in
got the impression that i won't stay here long
i know i am like this but still i don't know what to do

the sky is darkening i can feel it in the air
my heart is sinking i know winter's on its way
i know i am like this but still i don't know what to do
i know i am like this oh sister show me what to do

i know there's a way to get this another day
when will i know if there's a way for me
i want to lie in the sand and have the sun shine on me
is that way too much to ask


11.Love

you must be the seed descend into the earth
searching for the union of death and then rebirth

but i need love it is patience it is kindness
i need love it is rain after the dryness
i need love sister wisdom help me see
it's the one thing that i need
the only thing that i need
the harvester is near his blade is on your skin
to plant a new beginning well then let the cut begin

the harvester is near his blade is on your skin
to plant a new beginning well then let the cut begin
let the cut begin


12.Moving On

it has gotten to my head permeates the path i tread
but i tread i'm moving on in a new and happy song
i can sing about the night how my tunnel without light
led me to the other side where the sky is blue

it's all i can do to not let them ruin me
i will not let them ruin me
i will not let them ruin me again
there is fire inside the tree flames of knowing kissing me
i have waited long to see a sign from you


13.There She Goes

there she goes
there she goes again
racing through my brain
and i just can't contain
this feeling that remains

there she blows
there she blows again
pulsing through my vein
and i just can't contain
this feeling that remains

there she goes
there she goes again
racing through my brain
and i just can't contain
this feeling that remains

there she goes
there she goes again
she calls my name
she pulls my train
no one else could heal my pain
and i just can't contain
this feeling that remains

there she goes
there she goes again
chasing down my lane
and i just can't contain
this feeling that remains
