Lyrics
Quiet district
in
the east
Summer nights
walking
in the rain
Monsoon
in a
moment
Waiting by
the ocean
for a train
In the sunrise still going where
people have been
for thousands of years
Tides and foreigners
come and then gone
from here
The city
has it all and the
changes give it soul
In the sunset and thunder
in the distance, I wonder
how long this place will live
after
I'm
gone
This growing star
This renaissance
Monsoon in a moment
the galaxy
unfolded
in the rain
I watched this city grow
knowing I must go
and knowing if I
come back,
it won't be the same
and nor will I
(Waiting by
the ocean
for a train...)
I might
change
it all
I might
lose
it all
but I don't
need it all
to feel whole
(Waiting by
the ocean
for a train...)

Lyrics
Se desmayan las nubes y levanta el sol
Y las águilas tumban las mariposas en el cielo
En el cielo, en el cielo donde sueños están
Soñando de nosotros
Mi carne es débil
Como me dice mi padre
"Que levantan mi gente sin la fe
Sin la fe se puede, si se puede poner
Estas fuerzas son humano"
En el cielo, en el cielo donde sueños estan
Soñando de nosotros
In the heavens, in the heavens where the dreams
Are dreaming of us, and we’re dreaming of them
And they’re waiting for us, and they’re waiting…

Lyrics
What starts in a dream
my heart that knows
a memory of falling rain
the creek overflowed
and I awoke, and I awoke alone
on an island near my home
In the sleepy town, the forest close
the starlight pierced through the trees
to the roads we wandered on
we wandered on in a summer long ago
Summer's turned into weeks, before they were years
Longer nights alone for the best
I cannot own the moment, I can only watch it
go by like smoke
Heatwave turned
to a passing storm
Sunrise turned
to a long ride in the night

Lyrics
You've been driving so long
through the cold, through the desert
the Neon Turbines
turning all the time
(The road's so long alone...)
We'll drive as long as we want
for a season or a night
Escape the city and the lights
for a season or a night
Now I'm going to you
and we're going away
to make our corner of it all
wherever we stop
(The road's so long alone...)
We'll stay as long as we want
for a season or a night
Escape the city and the lights
for a season or a night
The universe to be is here in me
when I'm with you
in the mountains or by the sea
or by the redwood trees
You've been driving so long
and on your own
but the universe has called us to go
for a season, for a night
(The road's so long alone...)

Lyrics
I had counted all the stones when you came out of the ground
You were searching for the sea and got lost in what you found
when through the window in my cell,
you saw the sky for the first time in years
We tunneled on and on
and I learned a lot from you
Your death left me alone
knowing what to do
I escaped through your burial,
lost in the waves
Revenge on my mind,
a treasure to claim
and I remember you,
getting lost in what you found
when through the window in my cell,
you saw the sky for the first time in years

Lyrics
I'm not buying your stories anymore
Living this lie is now harder than facing the truth
I'm over you now, old devil
I'm passing you by, old devil
Like Dante had them
I will behold the stars
You've been tricking me into staying here
You don't love me, you love control
You can't control me
if I'm whole
I'm over you now, old devil
I'm leaving you here, old devil
Like Dante had them
I will behold the stars
I'll change my course
and only remember you when I try
You may come back in some stronger form
but you're only wind and I am the storm
I'm over you now, old devil
I'm leaving you here, old devil
Like Dante had them
I will behold the stars
