Ode To Sunshine (2008)












Tomorrow Goes Away lyrics - Delta Spirit

Every time I see you
It gets a little worse
Perhaps things are getting better
But how can one be so sure?

So I will take it slowly
So that I can rest assure
Wait until tomorrow goes away

In the evening when I wake up
I would love to hear you say
Ooh

Wait until tomorrow goes away
Oh, wait until tomorrow goes away
Wait until tomorrow goes away

Trashcan lyrics - Delta Spirit

Brothers hold the line till we got something
This world is way too small to feel like nothing
I was found near the train tracks looking so homeless at you
You came like a copper, you said, "Son, it's time to move"

My love is coming I can barely, hardly wait around

When my mother left the bat was the only one here
He is just a reason why I'm still here
My mother's well spoken, no I didn't get that gene
But yes, I lost it, and yes, my eyes they are green

My love is coming I can barely, hardly wait around

Well if you hide your questions there's no answer
I finally found the cure for my own cancer, yeah

My love is coming I can barely, hardly wait
My heart is thumping, I can feel it more with every beat
My love is coming I can barely, hardly wait around

People C'mon lyrics - Delta Spirit

I'm a wandering soul
I got no place of my own
Well, I got nothing to give
Well, I got nothing to show for it

And I'll be wondering all for all my years
What I become, no one could know

If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon

And I got something to say, my friends
I will never lay down without a fight
And when I die, it will be the day
When every one of my wrongs will be made right

Only time's gonna heal my pain
Lord knows the mistakes I will make
Yeah, there'll be peace in my soul someday
Reconcile I'll be on my way

And I'll be wondering all for all my years
What I become, no one can say

If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon
Oh no, if you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon, oh

Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah

La, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la

And I'll be wondering all for all these years
What I become, no one could know
If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon

House Built For Two lyrics - Delta Spirit

The years have been turning on
You left me at home
To carve my own stone
I cried picking up pride
Oh granite won't lie
We all got along

Well it's true
Build this for you
A house fit for two
Is too small for you

Our son is losing his mind
His drugs that he hides
You can see in his veins
The steps he's needing to take
His back it might brake
We both need you here

It's true
I build this for you
A house fit for two
Is too small for you
It's a shame
Leave you to blame
Changing your name
And left him insane

Return like a prodigal sheep
It's cold in the keep
But I have you here
I work hard then watch some TV
You staring at me
What are you doing there?
Get up
Lay down your crown
What are you doing now?
Say I'm tired as hell
Yeah I'm broke
Ain't got as much as you
To tell you the truth
Still am your man

It's true
I build this for you
A house fit for two
Is too small for you
It's a shame
Leave you to blame
Changing your name
And left me insane

The words on the tip of your tongue
Like a song I once sung
And you threw it away
That tune
Old melody
Had hope in its ring
Those years never came

Strange Vine lyrics - Delta Spirit

It's such a strange vine
Wrapped around my neck
All twisted up between my stem
Between my stem

I'm tripping and falling over
Things we just couldn't get over
I tried my best
Get it off my chest

Songs we never wrote
Seeds they wouldn't sow
We're taken it all to the end
And we're planting our own garden

The sun came while you were shining
The time flew while we were writing
Symphony in the key of D

Songs that had lost their luster
Finally they found their color
Oh

Songs we never wrote
Seeds they wouldn't sow
We're taking it all to the end
And we're planting our own garden

We made jokes about starting a new band
Six years working this whole plan
Maybe I'll make a home
With you

It's been a straight life and it's preacher living
These break lights city limits
I can't afford the truth
We are two indians in the same canoe
Maybe I'll just start something new

We're taking it all to the end
And we're planting our own garden
We're taking it all to the end
We're planting our own garden
We're planting our own garden
Planting our own garden

Streetwalker lyrics - Delta Spirit

Streetwalker knows how to strut right
She knows the truth
Bad boys walking through the corridor
God knows what they're gonna do

Darkness paraded across the headlines
"Little girl stolen from her bedroom"
Homeless, beat to death, or put out
Hopeless, greedy and cruel

Oh why can't I feel for you?
My heart is so black to you, oh

Her head is spinning like a hurricane
Tina was singing her name
Old men like to rape her in the red light
She's too young and numb to complain

Little boy bought at the age of six
Down the street he's wearing a dress
Look at his face, you won't see no innocence
He's got so much experience

Oh why can't I feel?
The lie, what can I not do?

Oh Love, set me free, set me free
Come on and set me free
Oh Lord, set them free, set them free
Yeah, it could have been me

Underground, the German Casanova
Underground, The Panamanian Queen
He whispers, "Down here, the law will never find you.
Down here I am your God and King"

It's a sin to sit and just do nothing
There's a special place in hell for me
Oh God, I just gotta do something
I swear to God this is happening

Oh Love, set me free, set me free
Come on and set me free
Oh Lord, set them free, set them free
Yeah, it could have been me
Oh Lord, set them free, set them free
It could have been me

People, Turn Around lyrics - Delta Spirit

Eighteen and jaded with guns in their hands
They were fighting for freedom and just what is that?
Bills to the banks and food for the kids
Money for college but couldn't get in

Made all the grades but got taken to task
By a man in an alley wearing a mask
Screamed and she begged as the people walked by
The man, he just laughed and the woman she cried

Well, it's time all you people, turn around
For the life we've been living, messing around
The blood we've been spilling will bleed us dry
The life we've been killing is your life like mine

The needle is sweet and the snow it is pure
The pain I've been hiding from I'm finding a cure
The night it is warm, well the light it is cold
The family I'm loving, I'm calling them home

It's time all you people, turn around
For the life we've been living, messing around
The blood we've been spilling will bleed us dry
The life we've been killing is your life like mine

My heart it is thumping, the veins they've been blue
The blood that's been pumping, it still hasn't met you
The beard that I'm growing, not fully grown
The years are not coming the way I thought they would

I'm hoping and waiting for something to sing
Like the angels in heaven, the bones on the street
Hoping for love to find a new voice
The song that needs singing has already been sung before

Well, it's time all you people, turn around
For the life we've been living, messing around
The blood we've been spilling will bleed us dry
The life we've been killing is your life like mine

Turn around
For the life we've been living, messing around
The blood we've been spilling will bleed us dry
The life we've been killing is your life like mine

Parade lyrics - Delta Spirit

Living like they never thought they ever could
...forest turn to soot
Burning out the sun
Gonna get mine before the end is come

Liars practice tricks for ten percent of gross
...the people in their homes
Well, I curse this day
My horse was caught in the parade

Running from your death
Last year, you were
Bragging about your gold
Ways...

Bleeding Bells lyrics - Delta Spirit

There's no place to lay my dead
When I can't stay awake
The growth I need is fettered with fear
My heels dug in my place

Keep your heart clasped into your hands
Your family just knows half of where you've been

The indian summer is better than nothing
Burn the sun in my skin
Bleeding bells of inner guilt
Salvation rays are thin

I say to myself you don't need anyone
This world is fucked just as you have become

I stand as a man who's seen many things
My youth has made me strong
I see the fraught of the words I have said
Got nothing for anyone

The words that I speak are like the clinging hell
The songs that I sing been poisoning your well

Hands in my pockets and down on my knees
I beg for will to change
I've spun around from the wheel that I spin
In one week I'll be the same

Children lyrics - Delta Spirit

Children shut your eyes
We'll tell you what to see
This world is burnin' down
And you're the ones to lead

Now look into their hearts
All those who hold the lead
Don't listen to their lies
They only want one thing
Well, I only want one thing

They'll rob you from the truth
And they'll steal you from our house
The blind leading the blind
Don't hang around with their kind

'Cause I love the life I lead
And I know my enemies
Well if God is on our side
That's all you really need
Well that's all we really need
Well that's all I really need

Follow down the road
I was led before you were born
No, it's not your choice
To pick your own fight

When you sitting second class
And as long as you're in control
Speaking when you're asked
You make your own stand
And you take your own stand
Well I'll make my own stand
And I take my own stand

Ode To Sunshine lyrics - Delta Spirit

When your working is done
And you have nothing left to lose
Why don't you just roll away
That stone that's locked you up?

When your pattern is full
And it feels like there's no place to land
When will you all run out of gas?
Yeah, it happened so fast
Leaving town for sell to pal

I recall only nights that we built
With our hands and feet, making peace
With the voice in our head
That ghost just stop
Won't lie dead, it just bleeds

Let the prophet rebound
Let his riddle rub on to my pride
I'm just to hollow inside
Let it echo in time just to get it
Through my head and mouth

Through the gorgeous light of the sun
And which I could never outrun
Even if my perdition were just in front

The sun's got my shine
The sun's got my pride
I could run but I'd never
Live without your light

The sun's got my shine
The sun's got my pride
I could run but I'd never
Live without your light

Live without your light
Live without your light
Live without your light

When your working is done
And you've got nothing left to lose
Why don't you just roll away
That stone that's locked you up in your blues?
