Close to Me

You said you’d be back
You didn’t say you be back to haunt me
It’s not one of those Victorian novels
Where 20 years later
We rescue love from the rubble
How we gonna be saved
When doing things the hard way
You said take a chance
That everything could be fixed
You didn’t say a word to stop him
Dark on the road
Breaking of glass
Took the chance
Too tight to pass
How’s he gonna be saved
When he’s working things the hard way
The road don’t roll by itself
But it holds up for nothing
It says try a little tenderness
A painting or a party dress
Because once in the black, to confess,
You’re never coming back
The road don’t roll by itself
And it holds us up with nothing
It says find it in the fallen leaves
The catacombs ‘neath the Paris streets
Because just like the lights and the breeze
You’re always close to me
You’re always coming back
You’re always coming, coming back
You’re always close to me

Only Words
03:28

There may be more to me
Though I can't say
Because when you left
You took my words away
But I believe in the silence
That you will feel what you meant to me
There will be more to you
That I didn't know
Because I didn't look deeper than just what you'd show
And you believe in the morning light
I will again repeat what was meant tonight
It's only only only words
It's only only words
We read the books aloud
Echoes on the canyon walls
And when I touched your hand I tumbled down the waterfalls
And we believe in the silence
That will be able to know
Truth inexpressible
It's only only only words
It's only only words

From the tales that are true
With the wine that is left
You toast to yourself
But you drink all the rest
When I saw that I knew
There’d be nothing left to do
Driving me back
I knew ‘fore you said it
That all things would change
It turned in your mind, like turning a page
Without a sound, it would float from the back of the room
I got to get back to you
I roam to you like shifting sand
Pull the sea, separate the land
Move without a sound
I fly to cover more ground
My heart isn’t fixed on some dead tree
Even the one where you first kissed me
I follow the roots, I follow the vines
Oh, somewhere along those lines.
The water move to keep the river alive
Clouds float free between the sun and sky
Before we think we should let our hearts decide
Whether driving us back
In your mind’s eye there are thoughts that defy
The physical laws that keep our tongues to be tied
Before I’d speak, the echo would pass from view
Oh, I need to come near to you
You come to me in the deep of the night
Hold my head in the green crystal light
Before we move, before we speak
Whether my legs should feel this week
My heart isn’t fixed on your words to me
The ones you said when you first kissed me
I see them in front, I leave them behind
Oh, something along those lines.
Somewhere along, somewhere along those lines

(Gotta) Trust It
03:14
|

You may not like it
You may not want it
You might feel lost until you find it
But all I know you got to trust it
It may not move first time around
You may just slip when you hit the ground
Revolving doors, they're hard to hold
What it says may not make a sound
It may disappear when you turn around
Through sweat and spit
You got to trust it
It may feel right
It may feel wrong
shed some light and the shadows gone
the tide may ebb
the sea may flood
You follow it down
When the day is done
Its body and soul
Your strength and grit
You got to trust it
You can put your finger on it
it may leave no mark upon it
Put your shoulder in it
Trust it
Trust it

There were some things I should have told you
About a good man gone bad
I never thought that for the rest of my life I wish had
Your reflection in the mirror
Floats on the autumn breeze
I felt a chill when it seemed you were calling out to me
In the leaves, calling out to me, oh now honey, oh,the autumn leaves
You keep appearing
As a spirit in the night
You keep appearing
From the shadow into the light
You keep appearing to take hold
Take away this heavy load
You appear in all you are and all you seem
When I step into the water
The river follows me
I didn’t know that some faint image of you
Could ever be, hauntingly, mesmerizingly
You keep appearing
As a spirit in the night
You keep appearing
From the shadow into the light
You keep appearing to take hold
Take away this heavy load
You appear in all you are and all you seem

Chance Appearance
03:43
|
|||
|
I may be the fool tonight
But I see the silver lining in your eye
Oh, when one dream drifts away
Another comes home to stay
With us
It’s just a chance appearance
You may be the shadow in the curtains
The breeze in the night lets them drift as if they’re dancing
I look upon that midnight street
Notice the marks in the faint dust
From us
It’s just a chance appearance
They’re ain’t much to be said
When I’m holding your hand
It’s a memory that won’t let me be
Oh the last time around
I was lost and you found
The lock and key to me
Well some things in life might put up a fight
it's best just to bob and to weave
Oh the last time around in the darkness of town
you found and you freed what was left of me

Lifetime
03:10
|

Once in a lifetime
Maybe once in a lifetime
We may know the light
We may find the fold
That we save the rest
With the hands that we hold
What comes your way
And what leaves again
Is just night to day
And the time that we spend
Once in a lifetime
Maybe once in a lifetime
Beneath the leaves of trees
Above the blades of grass
Where the rains shall wash
What the seasons have passed
In the eyes of you and
In the seas of me
Just calls us home to be
Forever free

Wild Horses
04:40
|
|||
|
I don’t need the lights on
In a place like this
But you can hold my hand
So I don’t get hit
By what’s moving past
You remind me of someone I knew
She took the silver and the memories / melodies, too
But it’s all coming back to
Wild horses
The ones in my childhood days
I’m gonna run with wild horses
The ones that are best left to stray
Because what once were dreams
Are better than they seem
And I'm finding the means
We used to ride in the morning light
don't think that time could put up a fight
with what we had but we lost
I can see the signs in the sky
they're telling me to come back to find
how to ride with wild horses
The desert heat may be all you feel
but it may deceive you from the Reckoning Wheels
and what's coming next
in a way I wish I could be more like you
you had a way to whisper what was true to Wild Horses

Warm Air Rising
02:25

Open my eyes to the morning skies
To the trails, dust, love and lies
This time it’s more heart than I have in my head
My throat is dry and my fist it defends
In the mist
In the clouds
In the rain
That old song sings its familiar refrain
What I saw
What I did
What I said...
I’ve looked east and I’ve looked west
The clouds will form some new request
Past the black there’s a hue of blue
The sun will shine because of you
The leaf that turns
The times that change
What once has been somehow remains
What you saw
What you did
What you said
Was it warm air rising?
Clouds tumble by because of one butterfly
This time it’s more soul than I have in my head
Watch the rocks turn into sand
From the Kansas plains to the Colorado skies
In the New York woods it’s still a state of mind
What we saw
What we did
What we said
Was it warm air rising?
It’s not warm air rising.

Just Because
03:01
|

Whether love’s one down
Or love is three across
We just never know what we’ll find
Or what we’ve lost
It may be a shot in the dark
We might never know where’s the spark
But I believe you’ll find more faith hidden in me
You seemed to move in between
Reality and a dream
The fuzzy skin on the
Peaches in the cream
You danced in a flower print dress
You were something that I’d wish to confess
Now I believe you’ll find more faith hidden in me
You didn’t need a reason
It was only ever just because
Some are bound by blood
Some are bound by the spoken word
You listened to your heart you didn’t
Follow just what you heard
Well if love is a mystery
It pounds the sand just like the sea
Where I believe you’ll find more faith hidden in me

Don't Give Up
02:46
|
|||
|
What if every move we made was just a kiss?
Do we search the roads that fade into the mist?
We end up paying with the past,
But even that won’t last
But this ain’t time enough for giving up
I can reach the beach but the sea’s too far to cross
If I don’t know where you are then am I lost?
Let’s not lose this tenderness
When the sun is rising fast
And it’s no time to us for giving up
Just add a saxophone instead of strings
And the first eight bars would have a certain ring
Because the music that you made
Is neither lost or saved
And now’s not the time for giving up

The Reckoning Wheels recommends:
Split Decision
by Makaya McCraven
What surprised me most are the "lyrical lines" Makaya's creates through the drum set. I get something new from each time I hear his songs.
