Suzanne’s Lyrics
End of My Days
(Come When the Raven Calls LP)
I keep holding on
Don’t want to let it go
I keep holding on
This is all I know
And I throw away
And I throw away
Another breath of time
Come wind come rainstorm
Come swell my dream
Come fire, come dragon
Come burn me clean
Give me two silver dollars
Pay the boatman, haul the line
Oh, I’m coming to the end of my days
Oh, I’m coming to the end of my days
The Eagle
(Come When the Raven Calls LP)
I was climbing among the rocks
When I looked down to the river and saw it
An eagle lifting from the trees
And I knew someone was going to die
Someone good was going to die
There’s nothing you can do when you see that eagle
Nothing you can change
The price we pay for love is the pain of loss
Millie’s Not Afraid
(Blue Ghost Blues LP)
Millie’s not afraid anymore
Millie’s heard all of your lies before
She says, shut your mouth
I won’t be bound in your house
Millie’s not afraid anymore
Millie dreamed a dream last night
A wild dragon lifted her up in flight
She’s got her foot at the door
She’s not afraid anymore
Millie dreamed a dream last night
Millie’s got a secret heart
She’s got a place in her soul, can’t be torn apart
She dreamed a dream last night
She’s not afraid of the fight
Millie’s got a secret heart
Grip My Hand
(Blue Ghost Blues LP and Rooms CD)
Grip my hand, lift my hair
Hold me in your arms
You know it’s time.
My window’s open to the moon
My walls are tumbling down
Hod me in your arms
You know it’s time
Strong and Foolish Heart
(Let the Darkness Fall LP & others)
God knows you never get a breath
He loves you walking through the flames
God knows he’s tortured you to death
And now you turn and turn again
I guess it’s choices that you make
Flaws in your skin
I guess it’s choices that you make
In your strong and foolish heart
You’re caught up in a town of hate
And you don’t know fear
Get out now, it’s not too late
You’ve got no business being here
I guess it’s choices that you make
Flaws in your skin
I guess it’s choices that you make
In your wild and foolish heart
You wear a name that’s not your own
Throw it away
I can hear the spirits moan
As you move from day to day
I guess it’s choices that you make
Flaws in your skin
I guess it’s choices that you make
In your sad and foolish heart
Your soul likes broken in the dirt
Still you’re stronger than me
Your eyes close up with my every word
Still I’m amazed at what you see
I guess it’s choices that you make
Flaws in your skin
I guess it’s choices that you make
In your deep and foolish heart
I Wish I Didn’t Dream
(I Wish I Didn’t Dream CD)
I wish I didn’t dream
Dreams make me feel so cold
I’m always lost
I’m always alone
I’m always trying to find something
I’m always cold
I wish I didn’t dream
