Robert Francis - Nightfall

 

Honey, I know I'm moving too fast, walking over water, walking over stained glass
Little white sparrows overhead
Fast as they fly away from here, baby I'd as soon be dead
All life, hillsides being torn down
Losing my mind, buildings all around
It's too late, it's too late, I ain't gonna wait around
Honey, I'll be gone before the nightfall

Polish off some Ballantines and chase it with some gin
Ten thousand scaffolds holding half a million kids
I reached to grab a glowing rose but instead I burned my hand
It was just a thousand moths covering a light, hoping that they'd found land

Life could be a luxury if life forfeited time
Because all that time has done to me is give then take what's mine
It's not mine, it's not mine, I ain't gonna waste more time
Honey, I'll be gone before the nightfall

Robert Francis - Climb A Mountain

  

I climbed down a mountain in my dreams a long time ago
And I will tell you a little story, in a voice, so unkind

I can't lay in your arms, I can't feel you in the night
The doctors told me when it's dark I'll see the light
When I close my eyes, I can feel you laying there
You're like a broken down ride at a carnival fair

When you're tired, when you're scared, when you're lying cold and bare
I'll be lost, in your mind, death's not hard to find
I get high, I get holed, I tell you I ain't old
But I can't help you anymore, I can't help you
Climb a mountain

Robert Francis - Junebug

 

Junebug, I remember everything
The blue carpeted floors, the tall wooden doors
I held you in my arms
Junebug, I’d burn down a picture of a house
Say it was ours, when we didn’t need it anymore
And that was when I loved you best
We were kids then
We shouldn’t think about the rest

You’d put the moon in a basket on your bike front by the coast
The way your face lit up in pale grief you were a ghost
You liked to play with darkness, all the universe could give
I was the home you once tried to escape, the dark in which you lived
And soon they’d find you laying there on several different homes
They’d find you laying on their porches, did you need to use the phone?
And lure you into their rooms
That was the last I heard of June
And that was love I could not allow

You were beautiful then
You’re just a coke jaw now

I remember everything 

I remember everything

I remember everything

You were beautiful then
I’m still in too deep
