"Patchwork" lyrics
"Patchwork"
I know it's wrong
I know it's selfish
It's such a short life
With so little time
You know this pattern
A patchwork of any direction
Cobbled together
In odd shape and size
Take my hand, we'll walk through this together
But my hand gets sweaty
You somehow slip away
I try to call you, but I don't call too loud, no
I try to look, I never looked that hard
'Cause this blue's a swirling ocean
The green, the ambition
The red is the guilt
There's a lot of red
I know it's wrong
I know it's selfish
It's such a short life
So little time
I try to call you, but I don't call too loud, no
I try to look, I never looked that hard
'Cause this blue's a swirling ocean
The green, the ambition
The red is the guilt
There's a lot of red
The yellow is my sunshine
Comes out on odd occasion
Barely enough to keep you around

Mercury Rev - "Tides Of The Moon" The threads that run through your live
Hang from your sleeve
Wind through your soul

I hear a voice cry out
We want something good

Jim White - "Still Waters" Well I was shacked up down in the mobile
With a girl from New York city
She woke me up one night to tell me
That we weren't alone
She said she saw the ghost
Of a woman staring at me
I told her not to...
