Brown eyes and I'm tired(?)
We had walked and we had scrambled
Through the moors and through the briars
Through the endless ---(?) embers

In the cool August moon
In the cool August moon

Over the nights and through the fires
We went surging down the wires
Through the towns and down the highways
Through the storms with all their thundering

In the cool August moon
In the cool August moon

Then we rested in the desert
With the stones as white as tombstone
And we saw St. Elmo's Fire
Spitting ions in the ether

In the cool August moon
In the cool August moon

Why Pinch Yourself

I walked around
I walked around the telephone last(?) three times
To make sure it wasn't you inside
It wasn't you inside

I know my mind pulls tricks
I know my mind pulls tricks
This is ridiculous
I am losing hold of it
I know my mind pulls tricks

why pinch yourself (x4)

Last time I held this deck
The last time I held this deck of cards
You held half
You held the other half

We didn't sleep too much
We didn't sleep too much
You let the night(?) lapse
and it felt too good to me
It felt too good to me

why pinch yourself (x4)

why pinch yourself

A Bear That Chokes

Never seen a bear choke on the bones of a fish
I guess you're used to living like this

Come down from your tree
I never thought you'd be so mean about it

A bear that chokes must explain
I thought there'd be a bruise at least
But there was no pain

Come down from your tree
I never thought you'd be so mean about it

I never knew you were so young...
I never knew you were so young...
I never knew you were so young...
I never knew you were so young...

Guess you're used to living like this
