Can we make this summer last Stretch out the hours like smoke Like the sun I’m fevered white If you could bathe in my heat would you let it soak A flash of white As you and i ascend through the clouds I know it’s just for now I’m leaving too much room for doubt I gotta walk on to get gone Leave this situation maybe I can swim the song I’ve been asleep while you’re gliding Swallowing days while you taste the fruit Take me to her now Crystal waters and her summer sun I’m walking around in a haze Andy’s calling from the stage Telling me to lose myself But I can’t find myself to lose myself Or lose myself to find myself I’m in pieces but I see you whole I could soften to your glow I’m envying those about whom nothing I know I gotta walk on to get gone Leave this situation maybe I can swim the song I’ve been asleep while you’re gliding Swallowing days while you taste the fruit Take me to her now Crystal waters and her summer sun

Parade 03:58
People on the move And there ain’t nowhere left to groove It’s going down Going down Nothing left to prove And there ain’t no other move It’s going down Going down And I stare It won’t hurt you babe Let me work it babe Take it where No one knows but you Let’s see what we can do Light up my life like a disco inside With the mirrors turning ‘round Let the fires take control as our bodies let go And we move in deep and close Until we go Marching In the parade I don’t know what’s come over me Bubble gum Pink beret Open wide Tearing down All the walls Said she’s never seen me this way Rainbow falls Tonight we dance Tonight we take a chance Tonight we storm the walls Shoot me to the moon Cause here there ain’t no other room And it’s going down Going down I’ll be dancing in the stars She says funk that pink guitar It’s going down Going down And I stare It won’t hurt you babe Let me work it babe Take it where No one knows but you Let me show you what I can do Light up my life like a disco inside With the mirrors turning ‘round Let the fires take control as our edges let go And we move in deep and close Until we go Marching In the parade I don’t know what’s come over me Bubble gum Pink beret Open wide Tearing down All the walls Said she’s never seen me this way Rainbow falls Tonight we dance Tonight we take a chance Tonight we storm the walls Parade Hand in my hand We go dancing Parade As we light up the dark I am invincible You can’t stop me now And we will go Marching In the parade I don’t know what’s come over me Bubble gum Pink beret Open wide Tearing down All the walls Said she’s never seen me this way Rainbow falls Tonight we dance Tonight we take a chance Tonight we storm the walls

Cotton candy trees Lucille and me Ba ba ba Draw me out Into the stars In your honeyed golden light before the dawn Send me out Like a shot In a purple chariot Flying high above the world we know Giving time for our love to grow Come and see the moon Underneath the door Trace the light that’s spilling out across the floor To the dawn You and me Carried out to god in green In a field where the flowers enfold The two of us in a burnished gold Now I I am losing time to pain And you You are losing time to shame But I know, if we take it slow and Open our eyes into the Cotton candy trees Lucille Let’s climb the stairs Like we should Going higher than we know we ever could In a chair Chair-o-plane Swinging out in our own blue lane Flying high above the world we know Giving time for our love to grow Leave behind What never serves Kiss the light n just to know what we are worth Packing light As we leave Cause there is little that we need In a field where the flowers enfold The two of us in a burnished gold Now I I am losing time to pain And you You are losing sleep to shame But I know, if we take it slow and Open our eyes into the Cotton candy trees Lucille, Lucille step to the side Lucille, Lucille turn, kick ‘n’ glide, Lucille, Lucille clap, spin and twist Lucille, Lucille well it goes like this Brown butter floss And blueberry chai Bubblegum pink and sugar cream pie I slipped outside of my mind To stop looking for what I could not find Trick mirror says I look so good Trick mirror says I never could Trick mirror won’t you let me be Trick mirror cracked now I feel free

Twilight 03:47
I took to the sky and wondered why If this is the place where I’m so high Tell me why I can’t get by Tell me why I can’t survive So I’ll slip on this tried, tested second skin So thick and heavy that it’s sure to make me him Took the story as mine to help guide my line but I I’m praying to a man Who is lost in Japan I’m praying to a man Who is lost in Japan Just another area code for another lost soul Still I read your books, took your word as truth But the gospel isn’t right, the gospel isn’t mine, the gospel’s advertised, the gospel’s pretty lights, Click, pose and prophesy Well it sure sounds good on you Hell it sure looked good on you So I’ll step to the side and I’ll look again For another with a star and a good looking skin Maybe this one will fit, maybe this one will work I need an anchor in the dark ‘cause I’m I’m loose in the sky Drifting through the twilight I’m loose in the sky Drifting through the twilight I’m praying to a man Who is lost in Japan I’m praying to a man Who is lost in Japan I took to the sky and wondered why If this is the place where I’m so high Tell me why I can’t get by Tell me why I can’t survive I’m praying to a man Who is lost in Japan I’m praying to a man Who is lost in Japan I’m loose in the sky Drifting through the twilight I’m loose in the sky Drifting through the twilight She’s got me running all the time and I

It’s your hands on my face And the garden light That takes care of time Loves me like paradise Tip your head to the sky And watch them rake up the night Phosphorescent fire Summer’s ending but it’s you and I last diamond of light They told her to give up her crystals for Jesus But she only wore them because they pleased her She thinks another life could be now And because I don’t know what she means I think it’s me who doesn’t please her She measure her days by how fast they disappear Can’t tell if fast is good or if fast is fear She starts to wonder what is left of her American dream And when her bones start to ache she will sing to me Put your hands on my face And the garden light That takes care of time Loves me like paradise Summer is ending She asks, can I stay the child Must I always be burned Trying to harness wildfire In the front room Shining like a dying light All my dreams preached to me On a colour t.v. She measure her days by how fast they disappear Can’t tell if fast is good or if fast is fear She starts to wonder what is left of her American dream And when her bones start to ache she will sing to me Put your hands on my face And the garden light That takes care of time Loves me like paradise

1,000 03:40
I don’t know but I’ve been told 1,000 lives will surely fold behind me Named and loved and in this way 1,000 things and people brought to light today Children trudging through a side blown December wind Peeling back the sticky heat from summer rain-soaked skin Golden Wilma in my hands like lemons in the spring Autumn leaves stacked in the lot and the spines left in our things Here you stand Before me now I see the light in you of many forms A child, a boy, a man Time is long Time is short Every minute more means that there’s one less than before Time moves on I don’t know but I’ve been told 1,000 lives will surely fold behind me Name and loved and in this way 1,000 things and people brought to light today A letter in the mail when I won’t be home til spring A January moon pinned between the centre rings A mouth on yours, a hand on mine, the ending of the day The bronze light in your hair with the summer on your face Are you real Am I here enough to feel I know sometimes the days are short Can’t be stuck inside a wheel Am I too late Am I right on time I want to be everything I can for you Feel all the love I find Give me time I don't want nobody but you see my mind's always stuck in a groove wake me up 'cause I'm acting a fool and you're my jewel make me brand new

I wonder why The early morning light grows softy where it touches upon her face I can’t say why Time did turn upon its head and moments overlapped I lost myself to love Love like paper palms and beauty queens, shooting stars and the heat that seals me to you Love like tinsel red and astro green, fireworks and a float of pink yellow moons Me and you I wonder why She talks just like the movies that she says she’s never seen Given time I’m seeing double in the dark, my memories crumble I lost myself to love Love like southern waves, salted skin, timeless days and the heat that seals me to you Love like undertow and draping golds, coffee cream and a float of pink yellow moons Me and you Baby be mine Take me to the place I never knew And i’ll bring down the moon just to look at you In this light I see it in your eyes Pink and yellow beams of love she can’t disguise Baby be mine Baby be mine For all of time Baby be mine

Trailing purple, blue and green In our skyward smoke screen in the dark You and i could go Dancing on the hill in the dark Just before the dawn We’ll lean into the wind and make for the stars Here comes our part You’re with me now Please don’t go leaving now Clouds are breaking now Can’t you see it now We’re headed for our Castle in the sky Won't you bathe us in Electric blue light I wanna show you what I Dream of every night So come a little closer girl and Plug into my mind Come away with me We’ll climb tower by the tiers in the dark Can we see from here What we lost in the fires of a shaping fear And see what isn’t clear You’re with me now Please don’t go leaving now Clouds are breaking now Can’t you see it now We’re headed for our Castle in the sky Won't you bathe us in Electric blue light I wanna show you what I Dream of every night So come a little closer girl and Plug into my mind Can we grow from here My hands in yours from here Reach the stars from here Our hearts entwined from here Am I wrong down here? I’ve been too long down here I wanna keep the wind And reach the palace within We’re headed for our Castle in the sky bathe us in electric blue light I wanna show you what I Dream of every night So come a little closer girl and Plug into my mind We’re headed for our Castle in the sky Won't you bathe us in Electric blue light I wanna show you what I Dream of every night So come a little closer girl and Plug into my mind Trailing purple, blue and green In our skyward smoke screen in the dark

Every time you wave I know this ain’t goodbye Every time you smile I know it’s ‘cause you’re trying To have all the things that you wanted Shine in the hearts of your friends You’re giving your most and I don’t understand Won’t you please take my hand So I know I’ll love you every step of the way until forever and another day And I won’t let you go ‘Cause I can’t stand to lose All the joy that is you So please stay And even through the years I worried about you But standing over here I questioned what to do As you lit up each room that you graced And shone in the hearts of your friends You’re giving your most So please if you can Know I now understand What you need I’ll love you every step of the way until forever and another day And I’ll give up control Forget what I know And all I will show Is my love Now take my hand I wanna help to let you know Now I know That you’re strong Stronger than me Stronger than most But you can still let go I’ll love you every step of the way Until forever and another day I’ll love you just the best that I can Love with all the love that isn’t planned Light it up ‘cause you burn so strong You’re like sunshine in the storm You’re my flower in the Spring Shining with colours that’ll make ‘em sing Hey! Sing it! Oh oh oh Yeah yeah yeah Oh oh oh Yeah yeah yeah I’ll love you every step of the way Until forever and another day I’ll love you with a feeling so strong Love with a love that makes us feel we belong Yeah yeah yeah Oh Oh Oh Yeah yeah yeah Oh oh oh I’ll love you every step of the way

*That Luminous Part of You contains an excerpt from George Saunders’ commencement address to Syracuse University's class of 2013. And while we’re on the inspiration of Saunders, the song 1,000 was inspired by his book Lincoln on the Bardo, and even contains a couple of small excerpts from it...“children trudging through a side blown December wind” and "a mouth of yours, a hand on mine, the ending of the day."
