Loom of the land
And the wind it bit bitter
For a boy of no means
With no shoes on his feet
And a knife in his Jean
...
We found an untrodden path
And followed it down
The moon in the sky
Like a dislodged crown
...
I told her the moon
Was a magical thing
That it shone gold in the winter
And silver in spring
And we walked and walked
Across the endless sands
Just me and my Sally
Along the loom of the land
...
Sweetheart Come

Walk with me now under the stars
For it's a clear and easy pleasure
And be happy in my company
For I love you without measure
Walk with me now under the stars
It's a safe and easy pleasure
It seems we can be happy now
It's late but it ain't never
It's late but it ain't never
It's late but it ain't never
Jesus of the Moon
...
Cause people often talk about being scared of change
But for me I'm more afraid of things staying the same
Cause the game is never won
By standing in any one place
For too long
And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms
Higgs Boson Blues -

Im driving my car down to Geneva
I'm driving my car down to Geneva
Oh let the damn day break
Rainy days always make me sad
Miley Cyrus floats in a swimming pool in Taluca Lake
And you're the best girl I ever had
Can't remember anything at all
