Horses

Is there anybody out there
That I can see, something you need
Well it stampedes, through my skull
Like wild horses, what did they leave
My neighbor said someone
They broke in, stole all your things
And if you cared, to answer
What would that be, could you see
That I, Oh I
I’d probably see
Is there anybody out there
Can you hear it, buzzing through the air
And I was probably mean, but you’ll never see
That I don’t care
We put in for, our vacations
Like Halloween, and thanksgiving
Now the snowflakes, they drop
Upon the street, we woke up in scenes

Let Me Be
04:54

I hadn’t realized you’d stepped away
Keep it tired then, I’ll stay
Do it again, then I’ll pay
Take your time
Well if it came, and then it went
Don’t know where to start, or where I begin
Tried so hard, then I fell
Just washed away
And if I called, out your name
What would you say
Let me be
And all the times, that we’ve seen
Lost in a dream
Let me be
Just let me be
Well it came back to, that part
It said where does it end, or stop
Well I lied through my teeth
Just walked away
And if you feel up to it, once again
Do what I want, but you, are not my friend
Run ragged by the, way it ends

Wall

Sometimes we said we were covered in gold
But we are nothing but clay
And as you spread yourself around so thin
No button to press to begin again
And oh it’s those peacock blue skies
At what cost I’m scared out of my mind
Lost and transient I feel I’ve changed
Sometimes it’s your fault when there’s no one to blame
Well you were the writing left on the wall
I rubbed out your name when you let me fall
And all this timing I didn’t, time at all
Well you were writing left on the wall
Path, pavements, alleyways and trees
Voices in cities running like streams
Halloween costumes, graduation gowns
If you stay too long then I think you’ll drown
And oh, how I’ve caved
It’s the only way I can see
It’s happening to me

Easy Heart
04:21
|

Whisper a name
From across the sea
A stranger to you
A stranger to me
In the outside lands
Rap you in these hands
Gliding through sands
Squeeze you slowly
And the lights, they call, out your name
Swing, in the breeze, all the same
I got an easy heart
I got an easy heart
I got an easy heart
That’s not all mine
And we are waves
Fade into seas
No empathy
To save us
And how long do I
Get here with you
Broken and fused
So lonely
So take it easy now, let yourself lay down
And relax, in the morning sun
And all the things you had, are lost and it’s sad
Move out, move on, it’s done

Yearling
06:10
|
|||
|
Oh we carried in our arms, rushing through veins so soft and slow
What choice did we have, when we’re blind, innocent, grey and old
Why do we fade, as the sun shines around the globe
Destroyed and maimed, like insects attracted to light bulbs
Now I’ve been thinking about how long I’ve got left to go
Left out in the field, like cities, I’m all lost and alone
So, close your eyes, to the things that make it so
As you resist, rushing through the glow
Carried away, like a yearling yet to grow
You’ll never know, you’ll never know
Carried in your bets, with your torrents, your torments and the thing, you’ll never own
A diamond is a rock, a fossil, so shiny, wealthy, pointless and cold
Oh how we were blown away, like we were never known
And the times have changed, like we had never grown
Bruised and trembling, from, being left all alone
Peace upon you, before you, before you

Broken Lines
03:39
|
|||
|
And there are tiny monsters, with no bones, and they’ve gotten out
And they are like whispers, floating, through your house
So many cracks and creases, find a spot where, your not lost in the crowd
Late night cash machines, drunken notes from, bank accounts
Cause all is gone
Broken, withdrawn
Because, timeeee
Oh those broken lines
They’ll wash away
Your flooded mind
And soooo
We will see
Those crippling thoughts
Float so easily
You do what you want, but now its time, to accelerate
Quarantined phone calls, they’ll just, have to wait
And here’s, to taking it, easily

Come and See
03:37
|
|||
|
There are fires and alarms, folks drowning in their jars
And I don’t want to know
I really don’t want to know
But I guess that we will see
Fossils made in factories, so we ship their bones like a breeze
But I still row
To places left unknown
But I guess that we will see
So crawl, out your window you’ll see
All these people, lost possibilities
And where out there should they go
Hung out to dry so slow
Cause in time, you will find
If you come and see
So why write a note, when you’ve got no use to send
Every smuggle word
That you fail to recommend
Another reason to please
So why have we failed to decline
Never failed or resigned
Don’t fall so far behind
Because
You might finally see

Pleasanton
05:04
|

Fell in love with your methadone eyes
Upon the ground where we lied
Smothered by the things we denied
Count all the things that broke as hard as we tried
Took you away so ugly so free
And don’t you cry you’re still beautiful to me
Cauterized all your aching bones
Suffocated you in your home
And you thought, you’d always win
Don’t know where to start, or where to begin
And I’m a long way away, from you again
Out there, in Pleasanton
Escape from the tears flooding Boardwalk street
Don’t you cry, you’re still beautiful to me
The older you get the more you have to see
What’s better for you isn’t always what’s better for me
Why would you keep your number, when I knew you would
And all the time and the changing, like I felt it could
And in your house that you were suffering, like I knew you would
Don’t forget I will miss you, I will miss you where you stood
In Pleasanton

Nurse
06:02
|
|||
|
In the morning, I feel hollow, as you took your life away
And if you have ears, you would have heard, you would have heard me fade
As trees, blew leaves, onto the ground
Collected, like memories, of passing thunderclouds
Aint it funny, to be crippled, for a while
Ah sweet nurse, in the darkness, comfort me with a smile
With this rusted heart, I fear, I will truly be alone for so long
You took, all the ugly, and made it beautiful for some
In the mouth, of the morning, early, when time carries on
My heart, and severed limbs, mountains that just don’t belong

If Wooden Shjips traded their sails for a prairie schooner, this is what you might hear them playing around the campfire at night on the Great Plains: homespun country-rock with a hint of psychedelia. Wonderful stuff, from start to finish.

Be warned, there is a darkness at the heart of this album. To me it speaks to the bleakness and sickness of the human condition, howls its message at the turbulent sea, a bible opened forever at Revelations as the world, real or imagined, crumbles. Deeply personal and oblique this is one to return to and wonder at the meaning carved into the lyrics. A little work on behalf of the listener justifies a trove of rewards. Also, be sure to check out the video for “Vultures” on YouTube.
