lyrics

I used to sing sweet melodies.
I never had to wait too long
To find the next note.
Sometimes the note came to me.

Now I can try all through the night
And all I get are aches and fears.
They ring in my ears
And settle inside of me.

All these flimsy shells of who I used to be—
I keep them hoping something will remind me who I am.
I’m an old dog, teach me new tricks.
Everything I thought I knew was just a self-serving scam.

Water on a hill, rock in the sea:
When looking back means looking up,
There’s no slowing down.
Where are you, Eurydice?

Blue phlox in bloom, thrushes and bees.
The wind took down the tallest trees.
At least I can see
The valley in front of me.

Children talking—listen how they notice things,
The world’s so gripping they don’t even realize you’re gone.
Maybe it’s because they’re so close to the ground,
I think I’ll lie down. Now I can carry on.

Even with a new sound, his core songwriting voice--“melodic and lyrical invention,” “chilling chord progressions,” “rare honesty and power"- remains. ... more
