Track Name: Two Sisters
Hey little ivy, I'll take you away
Over the hills and the valley
Hey little sister, I'll take you away
Over the hills and the valley

Don't try to find me tomorrow, cause I will be gone
Don't try to wake me in the morning, cause I will be gone

And some trees grow in rocky soil--
amazing, golden--
but being young, I have to find
my heart in motion,

and all those years I turned around
to find you holding
the cup of stone that held those words
you never told me.

Over the cities the night is falling.
Where has the light gone a hiding?
Oh my sister, never must you cry:
Light is the dragon we're fighting.

Don't try to wake me tomorrow, cause I will be gone
Don't try to find me in the morning, cause I will be gone

And some trees grow in rocky soil--
amazing, golden--
but being young, I have to find
my heart in motion,

and all those years I turned around
to find you holding
the cup of stone that held those words
you never told me.
Track Name: River of Love
I traveled down the river of love
with a finger dragging lazy
through the drifting hair of the girl down below
and who she was, I didn't know.

She opened her eyes, and she sang to me
the loneliest song that the free mind makes--
"You'll never be as real as the river of love.
Go on, drag your fingers through my face."

I wrote a letter to my love
and I dropped it in the river,
but she grabbed my hand and she pulled me under
and so we drowned together.

Oh never think you know who a woman is.
Never write a letter when you could say it.
Think of how the water feels, think of all that space.
Think of who you are, and all you gave.

Lay down
Do what I tell you, sister
Come away

Lay down
Do what I tell you, sister
Come away

Lay down
Won't you do what I tell you, sister
Come away

Lay down,
Do what I tell you, sister
Come away

Away...away...
Away...away...
Track Name: Fireflies
So you told me, "Tell the truth."
But i don't know what to do.

And just like the milkweed that floats
Over the balcony like snow,
You'll go.

So you told me
You found these flowers on the ground
These, the same small gods of your childhood
And you rescued them from the railroad tracks

But just like the sled that careens
Over the edge in childhood dreams,
You'll leave.

If you want to chase fireflies,
That's what you'll get in your heart.
Just a whisper and a spark.
Then the darkness comes inside.

If you want to chase fireflies,
That's what you'll get in your heart.
Just a whisper and a spark.

Oh sky girl, sky girl,
Where are you?
I saw you hiding behind my school.

But just like the moon that is changing,
You will be fuller now.
This is your life, and it's changing,
Isn't it beautiful?
We are fireflies. We flow
Out of the jar of all we know.
Let's go.

And I want to chase fireflies,
So that's what I'll get in my heart.
Just a whisper and a spark.
Then the darkness comes inside.

Oh I want to chase fireflies,
So that's what I'll get in my heart.
Just a whisper and a spark.

A whisper and a spark.
Track Name: I Know What You Want
If all my words were petals,
I would throw them on the ground
And never know where they go

And if my heart were a flickering moth,
I would watch it fly away
And never know where it's going to

I know what you want
You want my song
But I won't give it up
I will do you wrong

If all my words were feathers
I would throw them all at you
And never know where they land

I know that I've been a bad girl
But maybe so have you
Could you try to understand?

Well you taught me how to dip my hands
In the river that ran through you
Don't you know we stopped at the crossing of the bridge
And where is there to go to?

I know what you want
You want my song
But I won't give it up
I will do you wrong
Track Name: Song for Evan Wells
Remember the night
that you couldn't find

the key to your own home
that you left behind?

I knew then, oh,
I knew that we could be friends.

You told me how once
you kicked down your own door,
and I have known
anger like yours before--

buried well. You bury it well--
far better than I do now.

And they say that the youngest
grows up fastest.
That's what the flowers do.
And they say that the coldest
winter will pass
when you've got a friend beside you.

Evan Wells, Evan Wells
What good's a secret if you never tell?

Is there a life that you want to live?
Is there some love that you want to give?

Keep them well, keep them well--
far better than I do now.

And you can watch the trees grow slowly,
watch them rise like the steeples of churches,
and you can watch the ice melt silently,
year after year of the ice inside you.

Evan Wells, Evan Wells
What good's a secret if you never tell?

So I'm telling you, oh, I'm telling you.
Track Name: Down to the Valley
I met a man when I was only seventeen.
He followed me down the darkened streets,

singing, "Open your eyes
and I'll take you away from the city."

If you tell me your name,
then I will go to the valley.
Yeah, I will go to the valley with you.

And the sun, it doesn't stay still
And the sun, it doesn't stay still
And the sun, it doesn't stay still
But tell me you will.

Make our one day last
like the years I left behind
tumbling through time
on your stairway.

I never said that you would be the one.
I said I am the roots of who you are.
But you took my hand,
and the ring, it was mine,
and I never took it off.

If you tell me your name,
then I will go to the valley.
Yeah, I will go to the valley with you.

And the sun, it doesn't stay still
And the sun, it doesn't stay still
And the sun, it doesn't stay still
But tell me you will.

Make our one day last
like the years I left behind
tumbling through time
on your stairway.

Who will find me?
Who will make my home
where I know
blossoms must grow?

If you tell me your name,
then I will go to the valley.
Yeah, I will go to the valley with you.

And the sun, it doesn't stay still
And the sun, it doesn't stay still
And the sun, it doesn't stay still
But tell me you will.

Make our one day last
like the years I left behind
tumbling through time
on your stairway.
