Captain Black Heart | LYRICS

 
















01 Of Things To Come


I know these roads

I’ve been here before

Too many times I’m sure

Two roads, I’ve travelled yours

Drank from purses

I kissed you in the bushes


Bruised by time

Morning light drives fear

Into those that are alive

Towards the cliffs we crawl

Towards that mountain wall

Just one thing

Before I sing


To you


I know this place that I found

A long time ago

We could take it fast

Or we can take it slow

The sky’s so much better there

It looks like a painting

You follow me and I’ll follow you


Take the low road

To your doorstep

And knock on the door

It’s me and my old tired suit

Like a nightingale

I’ve come to sing


To you


I’m calling, calling you angel

I wanna forget this life

With you


I’ll grow a beard

You’ll die your hair

We’ll go somewhere

No one will know


And we’ll notice things

We forgotten for years

Like the way your lips feel

When I kiss you goodnight




02 Slide


I wanna walk through the footsteps

Of your heart

I wanna look at the moonlight

Through your eyes

I wanna climb through the windows

Of your soul


‘Cause there I can hide away

I want to slide away with you


So now, don’t let time pass you by

Like a clock that always waves goodbye

I found the sun now I wanna run

To the sunset with you


‘Cause there I can hide away

I want to slide away

I don’t wanna run away

Hold me right away


I stumble and fall

Whenever I’m around you

And I cried for me

I cried for you joyfully


I love the way

That you see the world

And you make the hurt all go away

You make it all go away


Jedna mala plava

Na ramenu me spala




03 Surf


Don’t you think that they should

Just drop the bomb?

‘Cause it just doesn’t matter

Anymore


So there you have it

What it means to me to be living

So I’ll just sit here

Curled up on the floor


Maybe it’s not too late

Maybe you can make my world

A brighter place


Is there something wrong with me?

Or is there something I just can’t see?

Well, all the love I tried to give

Come back to me


All of my soul is tripping

By the water I sit and listen

As all my thoughts

Now one become a speech


Maybe it’s not too late

Maybe you can make my world

A brighter place

If you close your eyes forever

Maybe you can find

A bigger place


Tell me something that I don’t know

I don’t know this


Maybe it’s not too late

Maybe you can make my world

A brighter place

If you close your eyes forever

Maybe you can find

A bigger place




04 Kill The Band


D… D… D… I’m calling you out

Where have you been old friend?

Have you figured it out?


I can’t stop thinking about

How fast the years fly by

Man, are we getting old?


Stop the music

Stop the band

Dance to the silence

In your head


Let’s go, go, go

Come on, let’s just go

I can’t stand this shitty city no more


I can’t stop

I can’t stop this bleeding

Are we the hopeful?

Or are we just damned?


Stop the music

Kill the band

Dance to the silence

In your head


You falling faster

Than a cannonball

After all these years

You don’t know me at all




05 Martina (I’m A Lonely Planet)


Driving in my car

Mexico is far

It’s time you take the wheel


Then I fell in love

With a flying dove

Never thought I could feel so real

Or anything like that


I said, hold on

I said, I’m too scared to feel anything

I feel weird inside

‘Cause something’s just not right


Did I let you go?

How could I have known

That I’d never see you again?


So much time has past

How much time can you spend

Wondering what could’ve been?

Tell me why did you leave?


I said, so long  

I said, I’m hanging on to the end

What you mean to me

What you seem to be


Out on the boardwalk down where she would sway

In the moonlight she would always play

On the boardwalk is where I want to stay


Out on the boardwalk down where she would sway

In the moonlight she would always play

On the boardwalk is where I want to stay


Out on the boardwalk down where she would lay

In the moonlight she would always play

On the boardwalk is where I want to stay

 

06 Turn Off The World


My Dad, he painted these pictures

Of lonely birds flying away

Up to the sky


He said, “Son, take a look at them

Try and be one of them

Don’t look back

Don’t let your feet

Touch the ground”


He said it’s gonna get

Heavy for one man to lift

Heavy, you won’t wanna live

Someday youth will pass you by

Hope you get it right


A loser

A joker

A sinner

That’s all I’ve become


A laugher

A taker

A misery maker

You laugh, but it’s not fun


He said it’s gonna get

Heavy for one man to lift

Heavy, you won’t wanna live

Someday youth will pass you by

Hope you get it right


“Dear old Dad

The best times I’ve had

Have been listening to your words

‘Cause now I see

How a man like me

Can easily lose all hope

So please show me how

To make these clowns disappear”


Just the other day

I found a map to a miracle

All wrinkled and torn

I opened it and this is how it read

“Turn off the world

If it makes you hurt”


If it makes you hurt

Turn off the world




07 Dead Crows


Hey you, inside the darkness

Are you holding on tight?

You’re busy getting nowhere

Holding on for life


So you think you know just who you are

The ghosts are right behind you

They’ll catch us again

The top down, feel the air

Running through your hair

I don’t wanna stop

Because I know that I just might rot


I look into the mirror

The lights in there are dim

And I wonder where I’m going

I wonder where you’ve been


So you think you know just who you are

The ghosts are right behind you

They’ll catch us again

The top down, feel the air

Running through your hair

I don’t wanna stop

Because I know that I just might rot


Hey you, in the darkness

Are you holding on tight

To all the dead crows?




08 Sundowner


When you cry to me

I drown inside the melody

When you cry to me

Violins playing to the gallery

Through the night, don’t it sound good?  

When you’re down, you feel good


When you lie to me

Oh, don’t ever point that gun at me

When you lie to me

You kiss my lips so gently

Through the night


Oh, the sun as it shines on your face

You see darkness

And our love slowly dies, it whispers

I got nothing to live for

I tried to warn you

But you were out of your head

You’ll come running back

To me


It’s been raining for days

On a river called “Your Crying Years”

And just like magic

I watch you disappear

Through the night

When you’re down, you’re freaky


Oh, the sun as it shines on your face

You see darkness

When you love and hide

The way that you’re feeling

How does it get this far?

You were out of your head

No one will love you

Like I do




09 I Won’t Bother You No More


We tremble like leaves

As we fall from the trees

The garden, it grows

Over yonder, it explodes

Lord, I tried


So order the wine

And I’ll curse the fine sky

Burning red over you

You tear out my heart

I tear out your soul    

I wrote a song

But I just can’t find the tune

Lord, I tried

I won’t bother you no more


When everything’s black

And you can’t take it back

Your dreams run away

And your heart does the same    


We tremble in fear

As we get close, as we get near

The garden, it burns

Have you learned nothing?

Tell me where does it hurt?

Lord, I tried                   

I won’t bother you no more


When everything’s black

And you can’t take it back

Dreams run away

And your heart does the same




10 Slow Vein


I’m in you, you’re in me

Like warm water by the sea

You know you make me feel

Lovin’ all right

But at any time, it just flies away

Like you did that day


I’m in you, you’re in me

I catch you dreaming by the sea

When you look west

Stare at the sunset

I see how beautiful

You really are


Well, I didn’t hear you call my name

For eleven years, oh so many tears

When you went away, well you know

That I’d sing for you, put you in a song 

This plane in my vein is taking off

With something that I didn’t know

About you


I wanna hide

I wanna tear down

The feeling of the ceiling

Closing in on me

‘Cause it’s taking away

Everything that I love


Well, I didn’t hear you call my name

For a thousand years, oh so many tears

When you went away, well you know

That I’d sing for you, put you in a song

This plane in my vein is taking off

With something that I didn’t know

About you


*   *   *   *   *


I’m high as a kite

With all of my might
