The fires continued through the night The kid with a bat face appeared at the window, and disappeared into the headlights I was halfway to the pacific coast I had left you in your longing and your yearning like a ghost There's little room for wonder now, and little room for wildness too We crawl into our wounds I'm nearly all the way to Malibu I'm gonna buy me a house up in the hills With a tear-shaped pool and a gun that kills 'Cause they say there is a cougar that roams these parts With a terrible engine of wrath for a heart That she is white and rare and full of all kinds of harm And stalks the perimeter all day long But at night lays trembling in my arms
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come And I'm just waiting now, for my place in the sun And I'm just waiting now, for peace to come
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come And we hide in our wounds and I'm nearly all the way to Malibu And I know my time will come one day soon I'm waiting for peace to come And I'm nearly all the way to Malibu Oh babe we're on the run, we're on the run, we're on the run Halfway down the Pacific coast I left you sleeping like a ghost in your wounds
Darling your dreams are your greatest part I carry them with me in my heart Darling your dreams are your greatest part I carry them with me in my heart Somewhere, don't know
Now I'm standing on the shore All the animals roam the beaches Sea creatures rise out of the sea And I'm standing on the shore Everyone begins to run The kid drops his bucket and spade and climbs into the sun
Kisa had a baby, but the baby died Goes to the villagers, says my baby's sick Villagers shake their heads and say to her Better bury your baby in the forest quick It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind Kisa went to the mountain and asked the Buddha My baby's sick, Buddha said don't cry Go to each house and collect a mustard seed But only from the house where no one died Kisa went to each house in the village My baby's getting sicker, poor Kisa cried But Kisa never collected one mustard seed In every house, someone had died Kisa sat down in the old village square She hugged her baby and cried and cried She said everybody is always losing somebody Then walked into the forest and buried her child Everybody's losing someone Everybody's losing someone It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come And I'm just waiting now, for peace to come, for peace to come
This world is beautiful
Held within its stars
I keep it in my heart
The stars are your eyes
I loved them right from the start
A world so beautiful
And I keep it
In my heart
A ghosteen dances in my hand
Slowly twirling, twirling, all around
Glowing circle in my hand
Dancing, dancing, dancing, all around
A ghosteen dances in my hand
Slowly twirling, twirling, all around
A ghosteen dances in my hand
Dancing, dancing, dancing, all around
There goes the moonlit man
Got a suitcase in his hand
He’s moving on down the road
Things tend to fall apart
Starting with his heart
He kisses you lightly and he leaves
Leaves your sleeping body
Curled and dreaming around your smile
Around your smile
The three bears watch the TV
They age a lifetime, O Lord
Mama Bear holds the remote
Papa Bear he just floats
And Baby Bear he has gone
Gone to the moon in a boat
Oh in a boat
I’m speaking about love now
How the lights of love go down
You’re in the back room washing his clothes
Love’s like that you know
It’s like a tidal flow
And the past with its fierce undertow
Won’t ever let us go
Won’t ever let you go
If I could move the night I would
And I would turn the world around if I could
There is nothing wrong with loving something
You can’t hold in your hand
You’re sitting on the edge of the bed
Smoking and shaking your head
Well there’s nothing wrong with loving things
That cannot even stand
Well, there goes your moony man
With his suitcase in his hand
Every road is lined with animals
That rise from their blood and walk
Well the moon won’t get a wink of sleep
If I stay all night and talk
If I stay all night and talk

Čitav ovaj album je jedno jebeno remek delo, a na žalost u potpunom je skladu sa atmosferom i osećanjima koju većina sada deli.
Ovo je prvi Kejvov album koji izdao nakon smrti sina. Bez trunke patetike, bukvalno se može osetiti jedno izlivanje duše u najčistijem obliku.
Proces žaljenja ovde je proizveo jedno neverovanto dirljivo i potresno iskustvo, iskazano kroz muziku i stihove.
Ako imate snage i želite da podelite osećanja sa nečijom divnom dušom, odvojte vreme i to učinite. Bol, kao i sreća i radost delići su istoga. Reka ljubavi koja teče kroz ove pesme i stihove bukvalno će vas poplaviti preteći vam da se utopite u njoj, prožimajući vas, ispunjavajući i dozvoljavajući vam da se prepustite u potpunosti.
