I miss rush hour
I miss crowded bars, loud music and funerals...
How do we say goodbye to those we lost?
I miss your presence in every crowd
Will you let me sing you this song?
I miss rush hour, with you by my side

Just Because You Can

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should
Some things break like glass
It’s just a small mistake
Some things fade away
Like they never were
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should
Keep me close at hand
Like a glove that fits
Lock me in your heart
Where I wanna be
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should
Just because you should, doesn’t mean you can

Beautiful Place

On the 11th day in May under a silver moon
I had important things to say,
but they’re not important now
On the 11th day in May someone clings to life
take me away, I’ve seen enough
take me along for the ride
ch.
It’s not the way I wrote that script
It’s not the ending I intended
It’s not the way you looked at me
It’s not the way you said it’d be
‘Cause they said it would be such a beautiful place
On the 11th day in May in a room I knew
pratically off and on my way
I saw a picture of you
On the 11th day in May you were smiling back at me
and every time I look at it
that’s exactly what I see
bridge
They never seem to get it straight
even in the clearest moment
all that I can do is wait
to see if you’ll come home again

Say a prayer for the people going underground
Say a prayer for all the lives in the lost and found
Say a prayer for all the times you said a prayer
Say a prayer until we all come up for air
Ch-
There will be a day
when we meet again
The stars will burn away
I’ll see you then
Shed a tear for the people all around you
Shed a tear for those you don’t even know
Shed a tear just because you can cry
You can have it all without even trying

Once

V-
Once
you walked away
you were so gone
nothing to say
Twice
you came back to me
What you were on
took you away
Once
I had a dream
(right there) in my head
something well fed
Twice
I turned back to see
if you were just
laughing at me
ch-
Turn
to the page
where the words
are just right
(you can)
read it again
and again
if there's light
V-
Once
you said you'd stay
you'd be in my way
I'd tell you to go
Twice
circling the park
pedal my bike
leaving no marks
Once
you rang your bell
as if to say
I'll race you to hell
Twice
It's just as nice
as you ride away
I'll catch up some day

What Happens Next

Verse 1:
The coffee’s on, the day’s begun, the train has left, you’re all alone,
What happens next?
The bird has flown, you’re on your own, you close the door, and still there’s more,
What happens next?
Chorus:
It must be summer cause the love’s all burned away
and romance dies on the vine.
This can’t be love because it feels so good today
I’ll take a rhyme that isn’t mine.
Verse 2:
You ask yourself, a question once, inside your room, tell the truth,
What happens next?
Fit me in your prayers tonight, throw the lock, turn out the lights,
What happens next?

White tail
in the morning
Jail break
through the tall grass
Take heed
follow me home again
Follow me
Thru way
on a new day
Day trip
in the sunshine
North bound
where we’ll meet again
Corn field
(chorus)
Feels like it’s happening all over again
Feels like a dream ’til I open my eyes
I’m losing my way when you’re not around
I asked you to stay to see what I found
(Repeat first verse)
Wondering
always wondering
Why we
I’m still wondering
Waited
why we waited so long
So long
Time lapse
in the evening
Stories
by the fireside
Wake me
see you in the morning
Mornings
(chorus)

Soul To Keep

Take away my devils
I’ll lose my angels too
If not for counting blessings
There’s nothing else to do
Out beyond the breakers
You’ll see a moon so round
If you wait a little while
It lifts you off the ground
Ch.
It’s pretty hard to go to sleep
Praying for your soul to keep
It isn’t for the feint of heart
Let it all just fall apart
I can’t see that far
Even if I try real hard
I remember you
Hoping all your dreams come true
Something fell apart
Broken from the very start
Life’s a deeper green
Insects scraping on the screen

Here In My Arms

Here in my arms
there’s a love song being written
nearly every minute
you and I are in it
Take me away
there’s a roadmap in the glovebox
a dollar on the dashboard
a sparkle in your eye
I’ll drown in your gold
there’s rain on the horizon
leaving and arriving
I’m slipping and I’m sliding
(chorus)
Stand
back when I’m closing the door
back where I’ve been once before
back in the throes
in the glow of the sun
of the one I’ve been waiting for
I’ve taken a shine
and I remember the feeling
rising to the ceiling
tethered to your smile
I’ll drown in your gold
there’s rain on the horizon
leaving and arriving
I’m slipping and I’m sliding
Take me away
there’s a roadmap in the glovebox
a dollar on the dashboard
a sparkle in your eye
(chorus)

Ghost’s Michio Kurihara is a Japanese guitarist whose spectral tone and majestic Ebow I can spot clouds away; among their many credits together, his work on 2000’s Damon & Naomi with Ghost is truly special. That magic remains, as Kurihara teases lustrous textures out of Damon & Naomi’s gently brushed and hushed songs. https://www.vikingschoice.org/archive/vikings-choice-guide-to-bandcamp-friday-aug-2021/
