Longer Verses, Stanzas and Songs
Frighted Rabbit
Swim Until You Can’t See Land
Dip a toe in the ocean, oh how it hardens and it numbs
The rest of me is a version of man built to collapse in crumbs
And if I hadn’t come now to the coast to disappear
I may have died in a landslide of rocks and hopes and fears
So I swim until you can’t see land
Swim until you can’t see land
Swim until you can’t see land
Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?”
Temple of the Dog
Say Hello To Heaven
I said, poor Stargazer
She’s got no tears in her eyes
But fool like a whisper
She knows that love heals all wounds with time
Now it seem like too much love
Is never enough, yeah, you better seek out
Another road ’cause this one has ended abrupt, oh
A’say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven”
Soundgarden
Searching With My Good Eye Closed
Stop you’re trying to bruise my mind
I can, I can do it on my own
Stop you’re trying to kill my time
It’s been my death since I was born
I don’t remember half the time if I’m hiding or I’m lost
But, but I’m on my way, on my way
Dar Williams
Iowa
Once I had everything, I gave it up for the shoulder of your driveway and the words Ive never felt.
And so for you, I came this far across the tracks, ten miles above the limit, and with no seatbelt, and Id do it again,
For tonight I went running through the screen doors of discretion,
For I woke up from a nightmare that I could not stand to see,
You were a-wandering out on the hills of Iowa and you were not thinking of me.
