Belle and Chain

All dried up I hear no sound coming out your voice
Making my call dancing all around
In my mind there's something more than a real good time
If I took you home would I hold you feeling less or more alone
Taking it off you'd look holy, holding you closely
Wishing it was what was meant to be undressing before me
Lady love playing on my heart sounding like a lute
Singing the ways of the days gone by
In my time I make the most let my spirits fly
Looking for a feeling that's cooped up and screaming inside you
When you're taking off you are holy, holding you closely
Wishing it was what was meant to be undressing before me
Holding you forever by the small of your waist
My love I must call you my belle and chain
Your arms wide open are a signal of something
They're taking my under and away
So now we take it off and we're holy, holding you closely
Wishing it was what was meant to be undressing before me
Maybe what is simply meant to be isn't for me
Girl you're my, my belle and chain and I want you to stay that way
My belle and chain, my belle

Rag and Bone Shop

I found a rag and bone bag of parts,
Brought them to my bench to build me a heart
There was a piece of silk and three bits of steel,
A diamond a crutch a ring and a brand new wheel.
I held my hammer and turned off the the light
All hearts are made in the darkest of night -
She will pulse and will beat when my body is cold,
She will fall down in love, rise and will be so bold.
Sparks were flying my eyes how they burned!
(A heart's not a gift, it is made, it is earned)
I pray to the god's, be it strong, be it weak,
Let it love, let it learn, let is sing let is speak!
In the dark I gave form to the parcel of parts,
Steel was wrapped in the silk from the start,
And the crutch was enclosed with the diamond and ring,
And the wheel kept it turning 'till I held a heart that could sing.
Heart's don't know what they are or why
They are ours and we just don't mind
To hide behind them.
Do you live in your heart or does it love in you?
Do you sing and see things through?
So I heaved up my heart into body so dear
And I saw what I felt, was it love? Was it fear?
Then the blood of the pump gave a meaning to sight
And the world was an army of love and the Light!
So I ran from the shop empty bag in my hand
A line inside from a man to a man.
Just a gesture, a word saying, "here is your seed,"
A diamond, crutch, ring and wheel is all you need.
Heart's don't know what they are or why
They are ours and we just don't mind
To hide behind them.
Do you live in your heart or does it love in you?
Do you sing and see things through?

I see another place, another time out off the tracks
It's indistinct but I can see it be it false or fact
I was young but cut a course across the barren tide
To heal my heart of the question, "Father who am I?"
Seek and you shall see, look and there you will find
Go and you shall grow, dance and then you will fly
Choose and you have choice, shine and you will be shown
Steal the starry light, know and you will be known
If there's another place, another time out off the tracks
Then keep on running boy believe it, be it false or fact
If you're young then cut a course across the barren tide
And heal your heart of the question, "Father who am I?"
I want to shine and I want to show it and
I want the star-bright isles right in the palm of my hand
From where I stand I see only open sky
I'm running Ithaca down until the day I die
