the time i chased the sun	the harder i run the song we've chased the sweeter you come inside the awful irate the further unstrung to sooth this heart of mine the glitter will walk on by and cover my shame and lately you've made me cold still the love of Christ my heart will know the softer i come the harder i try and find a reason to stay alive and barter my name the sooner undone the sooner i run and hide the pressure to coincide and it almost rained you've made me completely whole spilled the blood of Christ to cleanse my soul and lately you've taken all of mine and i'll never reach the sun from where i go and may the grip of grace be found amid all this breaking down and why they see me beneath slipping toward this sound why it's always the same and i remain too sound asleep it's always the same and you've noticed me while hiding out embracing why i've distinctly found, found out
winded drizzle rain and snow came to wake and soley scorn weary wearing all her unheard days gone then the breaking of this dawn soon became the afternoon astounded as this silence grew soon we'll break for this conversation in the rattling falling soon	lai
evening windows	i want you to come to the next part of saturday and while time is raining and falling away i asked you to run instead you insist to play and one time can't i stay why reside if couldn't be where you hide and soon we would dance in the quiet embrace of a subtle trance a smile i cannot face and could we become (wondering) in the sight of another one (my king) in opening windows and soaked by rain and why reside if it wouldn't be where you hide
in may august came and no one told me why in between we came from no one the calming to see the sky and in from whence we place this torrent well it's soon to break my tide now laughing with this moment that comes to take my eyes and recognizing the truth between the subtle lines of dawn and only half relying time is gone the day, is something new and no one told me why to glorify the name from which we came to know enduring rain and recognizing the truth between the subtle lines of dawn and only half relying time is gone to save this quiet time	september
the leaving day	say the word say what you and i have heard for we believe the signs that autumn has come in turn leaving me alive the wind beneath the colors of my mind breathing fall a leaf i find descending and up from high to you and i it came for the wind will blow to places unknown and oh i will go call it subdivine to the leaving and all that it confined in came, fall will someone ease my mind a taming call and yesterday rewinds to the relic of my mind say the word say what you and i have heard for we can see the signs that summer has gone and fall will come yesterday is gone will someone ease my mind we came and saw summer left behind breathing fall you made it all you made it all
the place, emptiness infernal it came gathering, cover me, empty out my nest an endless day absurd on the wrist white offering, my own devices fail come to me the saddest way to see my heart believe comfort me to the nowhere comfort time the same summer left me sure all this rain bleeding with cutting in uttering a word come into my soul see an empty place autumn left an all abiding well come to me the saddest way to see my heart believe honestly i'd rather miss the dawn than to feel it constantly oh, the saddest way and the mind is Him and mine is dim	dim
bereft	and when the morning came we asked of death when disapointment reigns the thought of theft to find a reason hoping you were there but no one came at all finding you were gone who, we've turned away and two we've lost reaching, for there's nothing gray we walk another day incase of chance (you've made the parting slow) sleep in the scenery a glowing dance you've made this whitening fright of sufferings final song you feel the cold in me calling me, from efforts hiding thought we'd bring the day the time i took my coat and softly we can say beckoning all i think i know fade come take my soul wait i'm coming home
in whom we make our home to think that we will fly alone with whom we find our tone in day a room we may condone to call on another and know we could install my own a weakening turn may arise solace is gone to bed inside this day and we came down no one could say in this quiet line worship you turned it around i guess you'd say they've turned me again it's something you may forget and won't you be my friend won't you be my friend all i comprehend is circling down through the isle circling to the end i'm sorry that we couldn't fly we couldn't fall this weakening turn did arise after all (chorus) and who will make our turn and who will wake these tired eyes	tired eyes
friendly time (written by mike connell) courtesy of the connells and tvt records	i saw the Parkers and the Triefenbachs i saw the Williams and the R.D. Gables friends of mine friends of mine friendly time i know the Christgaus and the Considines i know the Jenkins and the Garbarinis friends of mine friends of mine friendly time la, la la la la befriend me la la la la la friendly
a room paints full light the candle fades and the cold wind it takes my life and this is why i feel so dead betroothed you have carried the signs to the room of the tormentor the soul-less way defies (the soul-less way defies) in bleakness parrion lies (the truth that my pain dies) the song of my requiem (betroothed is painting the lie) of my dawn (the fall again)	a beautiful death in fall
