Skip a Stone

Ten thousand pains between your heart and your hurt
Ten thousand ways you dug up the dirt
Did you find a stone there?
Carve it for me
Did you carve a stone, dear?
Skip it to me
Yes, dear, I found a stone
Yes, I’ll skip it along
Yes, dear, I found a stone
Yes I’ll skip it along
Ten thousand falls between you and the ground
Ten thousand songs between you and the sound
Did you find a place there beneath the mulberry tree?
Did you feel alone there?
Dear, without me?
Yes dear, I’m beneath the tree
And what of you without me?
Yes dear, I’m beneath the tree
And what of you without me?
Ten thousand ways I’ve missed you dearly
Ten thousand days have made me see it more clearly
Did you find a stone there?
Carve it for me
Did you carve a stone, dear?
Skip it to me
Yes, dear, I found a stone
Yes, I’ll skip it along
Yes, dear, I found a stone
Yes I’ll skip it along
Ten thousand pains between my heart and you
Ten thousand ways I wanted it all to be true
I hope you travel light, dear
Toss that stone to the ground
I think we’ll be okay dear, do you hear that sound?

Queen of Diamonds

An ace of spades walked to a queen of diamonds,
Said, “you’ve lost it dear, I’ll help you find it.”
A child ran by with her eyes shut tight
Ace said, “look at her power, it comes from the night.”
Ohs
He had to go and her mind moved slow,
Gave her a kiss and the time took it’s toll
She almost forgot him, when he came back to say,
“It’s me, the ace, hold on. I’m on my way.”
Ohs
She said, “I’m scared.”
He said, “It’s not in your head.
Oh, it’s real, it’s real, but dream of me instead.”
He said, “Hold on love, I’m on my way.
I’ll come back for you when I’m a free man one day.”
The queen held on tight, he sang in the night,
Said, “Give me the canvas and just close your eyes.”
A feather in his cap, a trickster inside,
Trouble and fog just seeped from his smile
Ohs
He was a master of cards with a black guitar,
They broke free and moved straight to a star
She caught on fire, burned him away
He fled for his life
She begged him to stay
He said, “I can’t be that person, it’s true.
I’ll look after me and you take care of you.”
Ohs
She said, “I know, I know, I know, it’s all in my head.
I’d go with you where angels fear to tread.
I cut the cards and saw us lying there.
I hope I forget it and learn not to care.”
A queen of diamonds stepped to the Sun
Hummed this song and looked back on no one

Branches

Found yourself in the gutter
At the bottom of the sea
Walking a razor's edge
Without a breath to breathe
Found myself in the treetops
Terrified of my height
Felt I would surely drift away
Without a root in sight
I could give you diamonds dear
But it's just no good
Mines in your mind are
All misunderstood
The branches crack against the ice they're encased in
The wind changes her mind and plans to forgive them
They could snap so easy just like you and me
We're nothing but two branches on this crooked tree
Mines in your mind are all misunderstood
Go far too deep as you knew they would
Go far too deep as you know they should
