Sad Movies 03:18
Do you remember when We built a snow fort to the sky We only went to see sad movies And they always made us cry We held hands on the bus With our Walkman turned up high Somehow those days slipped away We can only look back and sigh I got a ribbon in poetry You got a goal in floor hockey I remember you said to me Ain’t it fun to be all that we can be But out of the cauldron of all our confusion came a spell Only our lips can only tell Do you remember when We built a tree fort on the green Wrote so many three chord ballads On your Casio machine Melancholy sullen sons Sweetheart of the boulevard O how good friends fade away Though you kept every birthday card Black leather jacket, pour some cream Into your Americano Tell yourself that you just can’t lose Play a little sad piano Ah like a memory of a children’s Christmas choir long ago Swing blue and swing me low

Kathleen It's me Again I know we're not really Talking right now But I think you somehow Got into your head That I'm mad I'm not mad I'm just upset Plus I'm wasted Won't you call me back or just come on by I just can't get your words out of my mind I can still taste your tears, won't you come on by Bring a few more beers and a bottle of rye What ya’ tryin’a do to me? Is it the super moon eclipse Or have you just gone crazy? Of course I wanna kiss your lying lips In the shimmering heights When shit was right with you and me Had to pinch myself to see If we were drawn in a story Set by the sea Golden time in green Where did you go Silver grey days await Without your love Golden time in green Where did you go Silver grey days await Without your love Hey I'm sorry I texted you 40 times again And again and again and again well - This is not east to admit Should've acted like a man Instead of a kid Jeans still got the scent of you perfume Can't get your sexy ghost out of my room Didn't we soar Didn't we click We both kinda' acted like a dick We deserve better We deserve treasure Emeralds, and sapphires and rubies What ya’ tryin'a do now You got the stars all in your eyes Oh if only you knew how Much I wanna feel your hands on my thighs In the shimmering heights When shit was tight with you and me Had to pinch myself to see If we were drawn in a story Set by the sea Golden time in green Where did you go Silver grey days await Without your love Golden time in green Where did you go Silver grey days await Without your love

Wind 04:16
Wind Which way will you blow? Wind Won’t you let me know? Won’t you take me right out of this town I’m tired and I wanna go ‘round To the lakes and ghost towns we knew Oh Chinook wind, steer me true Wind Which way will you go? Why Won’t you let me know? Won’t you take me right out of this town Won’t you take me, I wanna go down To the carousel where we first met Won’t you take me, I wanna go Down From the Rockies so warm We’ve been friends Since the day I was born Won’t you take me, I wanna go down I’m tired and I’m hangin’ around The Rollercoaster, I need to get out Oh Chinook wind, show me how
