Cathedral 03:50
I woke up inside of an old cathedral Sunlight shining down from the windows And I started to feel I might be dreaming When I noticed a river in the middle So I crawled upon the wave, and it took me away All above the world, looking down upon the plains Heaven is a dock upon the water Heaven is a place you call your own Carried on our backs into our slumber Oh, heaven is that place you always go So I crawled upon the wave, and it took me away All above the world, looking down upon the plains So I'm floating farther down that river Silhouettes and spirals passing through Taking shape of all the life i've known Oh, heaven is a feeling you know So I crawled upon the wave, and it took me away All above the world, looking down upon the plains

The Fool 04:08
Come down from the night sky Speaking like you never left You come down so easy Suit me like a breath All the while the nameless stars All the planets and their moons All the while the railway cars are Moving around you You come down from the night sky Thinking I might understand You come down so easy But you're water in my hands What am I gonna do When you float back out again? What would i ever do I can't always play the fool I can't always play the fool All the while the nameless stars All the planets and their moons All the while the railway cars keep Moving around you You're too old to be running like this Too young to keep still And I wanna go with you, but I can't always play the fool I can't always play the fool I can't alway play the fool

How long must I wait Throwing stones over the gate Holding feathers in my hand Listen quiet to how they land Ancient ritual I'd try anything now Glowing eyes out in the dark Walk the dog back from the park They're out looking at some unknowable truth How long How long until it breaks All of God's names The ever seeing eye I'm singing to my hands I'm talking to the sky Rosary on a broken string Comfort me, show me what I need Ancient ritual I'd try anything now

Window 04:30
Yellow light on the street side of the house where we used to live In the dark of the bedroom, I would lay there and hold my breath And when the neighborhood drunk would ride his bike outside our window Always saying the same thing He'd say "I'm light as the wind" Light as the wind I read a story of a man who held himself at the bottom of a well He would stay there for several days, let his mind wander between realms And in the darkest part of night When the moonlight shone through his only window to the world And all was quiet He was light as the wind Light as the wind I was in love, the kind that keeps you lonely, it holds a fog over your head When I was working my boss told me I always seem like I am somewhere else In my mind, I was under water where the Salmon River flows along the mountainside And all was quiet And I was light as the wind Light as the wind Light as, I was light as
