08 Why Even Love Me At All
01 – Shipwreck
Cary Siress
Sirens always singing
Shipwrecks always loom
Clear the rocks in the morning
But you wash back up by noon
Bound to a song
That pulls you along
And leaves you blind and believing
Show me a pawn
Who knows he is gone
Even though his sun is sinking
Turning away, mmm, my world
Mmmmm…my pearl
Turning away, mmm, my world
Mmmmm…my girl
Sirens always singing
Shipwrecks come too soon
Out of the rough in the morning
But you’re back on the stake by noon
Bound to a song
That pulls you along
And leaves you blind and believing
Show me a pawn
Who knows he is gone
Even though his sun is sinking
Turning away, mmm, my world
Mmmmm…my pearl
Turning away, mmm, my world
Mmmmm…my girl
Turning away, mmm, my world
Mmmmm…my pearl
Turning away, mmm, my world
Mmmmm…my girl
Bound to a song
That pulls you along
And leaves you blind and believing
Show me a pawn
Who knows he is gone
Even though his sun is sinking…turning away
02 – Raven
Cary Siress
Raven, Raven dark and still
Tell, when will my time come?
The time to kill a mockingbird
That sings so high above
The time to kill a mockingbird
Tell, when will my time come?
Raven, Raven dark and still
Tell, when will time ring true?
The time to sing so high above
Where a mockingbird once flew
The time to sing so high above
Tell, when will my time come?
In the June of my days
There’ll be little or nothing left to lose
Pull a feather from your grave
Strike a chord, sing, a cheatin’ tune
Raven, Raven dark and still
When will time come to kill?
The devil’s wish for a songbird’s wing
That sings so high above
The time to kill a mockingbird
Tell, when will my time come?
In the June of my days
There’ll be little or nothing left to lose
Wear that feather from your grave
Strike a chord, sing, a cheatin’ tune
03 – Stranger Again
Cary Siress
With a vow in the dark
Taking leave of my senses
A room full of moonlight
Lose the color of your sin
But the shallow strain of morning light
A night’s early end
By the time the day breaks
You’re a stranger again
And we’ll fall
Into our ways my dear
You, a promise
Me, a fear
And with all
Of our ways my dear
The night and its game comes closin’ in
If the stars are the heart
Of your painted sky
Then who defines the middle
Of your lonely nights
With a prepay smile and company
A night’s early end
By the time the day breaks
You’re a stranger again
And we’ll fall
Into our ways my dear
You, a promise
Me, a fear
And with all
Of our ways my dear
The night and its game comes closin’ in
And we’ll fall
Into our ways my dear
You, a promise
Me, a fear
And with all
Of our ways my dear
The night and its game comes closin’ in
The night and its game comes closin’ in
The night and its game comes closin’ in
04 – Morning Rain
Cary Siress
Said I’m going
Walking with your baby
She’ll rise and shine
With the morning rain
But come the new moon
Slow rages in vain
You know you’ll find me
With your baby again
And there’s no telling who’s to blame
When some new flame comes around
For the next one comes to claim
My pieces on the ground
All over town
She likes to think I’m
Some man in the moon, watch ‘er
She’ll go get fooled
By a fool’s grin
You get burned once
Who’d come around again
You’ll only find me
With your baby again
And there’s no telling who’s to blame
When some new flame comes around
For the next one comes to claim
My pieces on the ground
All over town
With the tables turned
And all my bridges burned
Can’t help but be…a fool in love
And there’s no telling who’s to blame
When some new flame comes around
For the next one comes to claim
My pieces on the ground
All over town
05 – Promised Land
Cary Siress
Wasted rainbow
In a warring land
Firestorm comes
No help at hand
Bombs they fell on our afternoon
Angels came
But spoke too soon
Tasted blood
From the mouth of a gun
Run for the border
When everyone runs
Water’s safer than a sinking land
Angels came
But took no stand
No home, no hope, no time today
Leavin’ my life
For another way
No home, no hope, no time to pray
I’m goin’ to the Promised Land
They say
For I’m goin’ to the Promised Land
They say
Pasted lies
On the other side
Bet all walls
Come down in time
Some promise made to see us through
Angels came
But spoke too soon
No home, no hope, no time today
Leavin’ my life
For another way
No home, no hope, no time to pray
I’m goin’ to the Promised Land
They say
For I’m goin’ to the Promised Land
They say
06 – You Keep My Love a Waitin’
Cary Siress
Met her one summer
Lives spun unfettered
Troubles far and few
Never knew love
Would come like a flood
Then bleed the wells dry so soon
Oh, you keep my love a waitin’
Now, you’ve gone and forsaken me
Oh, there’s love for the takin’
No, you keep my love a waitin’
Stones on the road
Songs of the load
Tales told bitter of two
Never knew love
Would sing like a dove
Then steal from her flight so soon
Oh, you keep my love a waitin’
Now, you’ve gone and forsaken me
Oh, there’s love for the takin’
No, you keep my love a waitin’
Come other summers
Heart-twisted colors
No tale told sweeter than you
Never knew love
To steal like it does
Then swell like the tide so soon
Oh, you keep my love a waitin’
Now, you’ve gone and forsaken me
Oh, there’s love for the takin’
No, you keep my love a waitin’
Oh, you keep my love a waitin’
Now, you’ve gone and forsaken me
Oh, there’s love for the takin’
No, you keep my love a waitin’
07 – Days
Cary Siress
Days numbered
Tied to the ground, staring at the sun
Days of wonder
No one comes around
To tell you when they’re gone
For me, the parting
Was the best I could do
For me, the stars were there
But never really saw them for you
Days sundered
Lives cast down, living on the run
Days of slumber
No one comes around
To tell you when they’ve come
For me, the sparring
Was the best I could do
For me, the scars were there
But never really saw them for you
Days numbered
Tied to the ground, staring at the sun
Days laundered
No one comes around
To tell you when you’re conned
Make the dreams of night so real
Make believe as you go
What once seemed so far from you
Now breathes, is now your own
Now breathes, is now your own
Now breathes, is all your own
08 – Why Even Love Me At All
Cary Siress / Christoph Maurer
What is it like
At the end oft the light?
Needn’t you tell me
Where I will be?
Is it a game,
Is it love,
Is it anyone’s right,
To believe in a you and a me?
Why do you love me the way you do?
Why even love me at all?
If I stand and fight
Would you watch my fall?
Why even love me at all?
Why do you love me the way you do?
Why even love me at all?
If I stand and fight
Would you watch my fall?
Why even love me at all?
Closing my eyes
To the end oft the road
Endlessly falling
No waking up
Isn’t there more
Of this life
Than this vanishing soul?
Is there a healing
For every cut?
Why do you love me the way you do?
Why even love me at all?
If I stand and fight
Would you watch my fall?
Why even love me at all?
Why do you love me the way you do?
Why even love me at all?
If I stand and fight
Would you watch my fall?
Why even love me at all?
