Civil Twilight Album

In the cold of the night, the fire burns bright, you long for the unseen
On the edge of the sea, your thoughts run deep, you long for a place you've never been
Is anybody there, is anybody there, you cry to the full moon
As your thoughts run wild like the thoughts of a child, you wonder if you'll be there soon
I say slow me down, slow me down
I want to hear the sound, slow me down

Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there
(repeat)
Anybody, anybody

Here I stand, letter in my hand, the letter that you sent to me
But as I turn each page like the turning of a wave, I feel you turning me
Slow me down, slow me down
I want to hear the sound, slow me down

Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there
(repeat)
Anybody, anybody

I don't know anything no more
I don't know anything no more
I don't know anything

Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there
(repeat)
Anybody, anybody

I take aim from the kitchen window
I take aim from up and down below
I take aim from the tree in your backyard
I fall asleep but I'm always on guard
I take the shots but I have no authority
I take the shots but I'm not guilty
I'm just a soldier in another war
It doesn't matter who I'm fighting for

I don't stop till my country says so
I don't stop till the end of the show
I don't know why I hold this gun
I'm just a soldier
Fighting for someone

I have a wife and a big ol' family
I have a wife and she's waiting at home for me
I cleanse my sins as I walk through that door
It doesn't matter what I've done before

I don't stop till my mission is done
I don't stop till they tell me I've won
I don't know what I'm fighting for
I'm just a soldier aiming for one more

My family they cover me
My family they cover me
All I see is what I believe
I am not guilty, no
I am not guilty

I don't stop not even in my dreams
I don't stop seeing things that I've seen
I don't know why I raise this hell
I'm just a soldier fighting for someone else

[No lyrics]

One of these days the sky's gonna break and everything will escape and I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall into the sea and they'll know
That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away

One of these days letters are gonna fall from the sky telling us all to go free
But until that day I'll find a way to let everybody know that you're coming back, you're coming back for me
'Cause even though you left me here I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here
Hold me here, hold me here

One day soon I'll hold you like the sun holds the moon
And we will hear those planes overhead and we won't have to be scared
We won't have to be, we won't have to be scared

You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me

You're coming back to me

It was cold on the docks that night
As a frozen white light
Shone across my shoes
As I stood in the darkest blue
There came a light towards me
On the water that lay before me
And I could not wait to touch
The frozen hands that had felt so much

Oooooooo

I heard a song inside of me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices sang it back to me
If life is an ocean
Then I'm only on the surface

This is where they come in
Where some lives end and some begin
And this is where I like to stand
And watch the swirling ways of man
To stir humanity with visions of dignity
To see what will conspire
If I throw myself into its fire

Oooooooo

I heard a song inside of me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices sang it back to me
If life is an ocean
Then we're only on the surface

Ooooooooo

I heard a voice inside of me
I looked up and I saw the sky scream
And there was light everywhere
If life is an ocean
Then I must be on the surface
Only on the surface

I didn't know what everybody was talking about
Oh no
So I went down to the water
Tried to figure it out
Oh no
Everybody was looking down at the empty ground
Except you baby
And you turned to me with a strange look in your eye
And whispered in my ear

You said oh, oooh, everybody's got a trouble
You said oh, oooh, everybody's got a trouble
Just like me

There I met a man scorched by the sun
He had a ring above his head
And with eyes of chrome
And a voice of steel
He drew his breath, and he said
Oh, oooh, everybody's got a trouble
He said
Oh, oooh, everybody's got a trouble
Just like me

Just like me

He said I should just go home
Oh, he said I should just go home

Oooohhh

Everybody's got a trouble
He said oh, oooh, everybody's got a trouble
It's what he said
Everybody's got a trouble
Just like me
Just like me
Just like me
Just like me

He said I should just go home
He said I should just go home
He said I should just go home

Oh he said, he said, he said

Yeah, he said I should just go home
Oh he said I should just go home
Oh and he said I should just go home

There's one way out and one way in
Back to the beginning
There's one way back to home again
To where I feel forgiven

What is this I feel, why is it so real
What am I to say

It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human

I am just an image of something so much greater
I am just a picture frame, I am not the painter

Where do I begin, can I shed this skin
What is this I feel within

It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human
That make us human
That make us human

It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human
That make us human
That make us human
That make us human

something i can't change
many nights i have spent sailing
with many reasons to be brave

but tonight i feel my heart begin to fail
and my head begin to fall
like two ships crossing their paths
i see you see like you want

my perfect stranger
don't sail away
it was meant to be
we met this way
we met this way

some many nights i've been in this place
the winds haven't blown in seven days
i turn to the stars and moon at night
but the more i look
the more i lose sight

and heaven knows
heaven shows
pieces of the story
it's moments like these
the treasures we must see
so we can tell this story

oh my perfect stranger
don't sail away
tell me your secrets
and be on your way

hold me
go on and hold me
ooooh
cause there's no fear
there's no fear
there's no fear

oooh

my perfect stranger
arms opened wide to me
tell me your secrets
tell them onto me

oooooh
noooo

i say hold me now
my perfect stranger
hold me now
my perfect stranger>

I'm in trouble, there's trouble everywhere I stare
I'm seeing double, I don't know where I left my head
It happened to me on a cool dark night twenty two nights ago
And I'm in trouble 'cause I just don't know how to let go

No it wasn't in the way she swayed
No it wasn't how she walked away

Yeah, it was something she said
Yeah, it was something she said (repeat)

I'd better get back to the place that I used to be
Cause you're trouble and trouble's got a hold of me
Yeah I'm in love with you and you know it's true, I think I told a lie before

No, it wasn't in the way she moved
No, it wasn't in the way she grooved

Yeah, it was something she said
Yeah, it was something she said (repeat)
Something she said

I don't know why I'm here, searching through this cloud
The words are coming in now, but I don't hear any sound
I don't know why, no, I don't know why I'm here

Yeah, it was something she said
Yeah, it was something she said (repeat)

Something she said

Today I heard that someone left this earth
That someone disappeared left no mark here
Today I heard that someone just got up and left himself
Lying on the ground

Today is
Today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is
Today is
Today is quiet in my town

Today two boys disappeared without noise
And I wish that I was them flying somewhere overhead
And tonight in silence, two lovers hate and find
One is bored
One is angry
But neither one of them is right, oh

Today is
Today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is
Oh, Today is
Today is quiet in my town

Oh, somebody say something
Somebody say something
Somebody say something to me
Oh, someday say something
Someday say something cause I can't take this silence anymore
Anymore

Today is
Today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is
Oh, today is
Today is too quiet in my town

Today I heard the sound of birds and I wish that I was anywhere but here

It's too quiet, too quiet
It's too quite, too quiet
It's too quiet (9x)
In my town, in here, in here, in here
It's too quite in my town

Today is
Today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is
Today is too quiet in my town

Today is
Today is
Today is quiet in my town
