Pines (2012)












Pinesong lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

The time has come for giving up
I have lost
I wanted once to become what
I cannot

Why come to me so full of dreams?
Well, go on
With feathered keys you're mocking me
I am locked

It's easier to pine
To pine

I can feel it
Through the fields of graves
A beating heart
While
Rolling hills are
Roaming through my veins
And open arms
And all is full of smoke

Ah pining…

The words you speak
Stir things in me that I thought
Were gone
Their faint white heat
Melts centuries
Deep in
Frost

I can feel it
Through the fields of graves
A beating heart
While
Rolling hills are
Roaming through my veins
And open arms
And all is full of
Hope

Ah pining…

Winds Of Wander lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

Lay lazy sun
Hanging heavy up above
Drown in the drowsy afternoon
In the green grass where yellow flowers bloom
The heart beats slow
And eyes will close… they’ll close

Vise hands, loosen up the reins
That tight grasp won’t save you any pain
Rock back and forwards with your breath
From this stone house, the home you’ve never left
The heartbeat slows
And eyes will close

Learn to float
Don’t you worry so
Let the winds of wander blow
Up and away we go

Up and away we go
Where the winds of wander blow
Up and away we go
Where the winds of wander blow

Avalanches (Culla's Song) lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

We found ourselves atop of a mountain peak
The air was thin as a beggar’s sleeve
The city lights were miles away
The hush was as thick as your winter coat
And you wrote our names in the morning
Snow with fallen twigs and berries saved

Well, don’t be scared of avalanches
Tucked up in my snowy branches
I will
Oh I will
Oh I will
I will keep you safe

The sun is overhead and you lift your face
Up to the sky and you sing this place
The sweetest song it's ever known
Then slowly the deer and the rabbits crept
Outside to hear, the grizzlies left
Their great big teeth and their claws
At home

Don't be scared of avalanches
Tucked up in my snowy branches, I will
And look how well the gray wolf dances
You bring light and second chances
I will
Oh I will
Oh oh I will
Oh oh I will
Oh oh I will
Yes, I will

I will
I will
Keep you safe

Riversong lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

I laid down by the river’s edge
I laid down wondering where it led
I laid down by the river’s edge
And I woke up in a river bed

There were flowers in my hair
River flowers floating everywhere
And all the fishes came and kissed my feet
Dear old fishes, they said to me

They said oh, we could love you
But we are not yet what you want
Because oh, anyone could love you
You’ve got to find where you belong

All my needles, they were gone so fast
Not a needle left on a branch
I grew weaker
And the river strong
I said, hey fishes
But the fish were gone

Now the boulders
I know they heard me cry
But they were stone-faced
And they stood aside
So I went on at the river’s pace
With my eyes closed, I thought I heard them say

They said oh, we could love you
But we are not yet what you want
Because oh, we would only crush you
You’ve got to find where you belong

How does it feel
To be so certain
Without question
Of your purpose
Your position
Of your place
Of your home?
Of your place
Of your home

You cannot catch the river though
It makes you think you can
It trickles through your fingers
While you hold it in your hands
Just like I am
Just like I am
Just like I am
Just like I am

The Sighting lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

It was a dark and clouded night
Where neither star nor moon would shine
Yet standing in a pool of light
Like Saturn with its rings

A lonesome figure gleamed
So tall and wild and evergreen
With roots that reached out for the sea
Like dancers in the wind

Oh, hi
Love

So far from
From me

Those salt cliffs can’t be scaled
The evidence of those who failed
Their skeletons lay strange and frail
Like lace among the rocks

So content to sit and wait
So dedicated to your fate
To never move, to never chase
You just stand up there and watch

Oh, hi
Love

So high up
Will you always be
Out of reach?

Oh, hi
Love

Oh, why
Love?

I wish that you would
Jump
But I can see
Your ties run deep

And it’s not for me
To cut you free

Dream In The Dark lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

Bye, bye darlin’
It’s time to go
Got lost in your magic
Oh I
Longed for you so

Spent my life waiting
For a sight of the sea
Been sitting beside it
And you’re
All that I’ve seen

It’s hard to grasp
It all will pass
If you wanted my love then
You would have asked
So…

Bye, bye darlin’
(W)hole of my heart
In dreams you follow
But I dream in the dark

Sailingsong lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

Dawn breaks on the cool waves
See the bright face of a new day

And the darkness fades
And the darkness fades
And the darkness fades away
And we…

Sail set sail
Sail set sail

Salt taste and the dolphins play games
And the sea birds race
As the old flag is raised

And the darkness fades
And the darkness fades
And the darkness fades
And the darkness fades away
And we…

Sail set sail
Sail set sail

And the weight of the world is lost
And the blues in the blue we cross
Everything gone is gone

Good man with the capable hands
Sails for new lands
And he understands

That you can’t go back
No, no you can’t go back
No you can’t look back
No, you can’t look back
When you

Sail set sail
Sail set sail

Sadseasong lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

Sea is always changing
Rearranging
Rains came without warning
Stormy storming

Vessel once so mighty
I held on tightly
But waves, they played like giants
Water lions

Down down how I miss you now
Down down how I miss you now

Life without a witness
Is a lonely business
No one here to rise with, none to lie with

Wish it were a bad dream
Sad sea, sad dream
Wish I could awake

They Can't If You Don't Let Them lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

If it is true, if you have come to the rescue,
Why do the bells sound of danger?
Words of peace, they fall from you freely.
Awful free for a stranger.

Setting sun, you know you ought to run.
There's a wolf here among the sheep.
But marching along to the spirit catcher's song,
You remain in a dreamless sleep.

Desperate eyes, let the counterfeit suffice.
Hoping high, they will be kind to you.

Fog and fears and a mouth full of hot tears,
Can drown that voice sent to guide you.
And wicked tongues with their hooks,
And their ice blood,
Can wake the demons inside you.

Doubt will creep through the windows as you sleep,
Setting in like a cold, cold front.
Your hands go numb and your stomach doubles up.
And you think, was I happy once?

Desperate minds, hold the counterfeit so tight.
Hoping high, they will be kind to you.
Hoping high, they will be kind to you.
Hoping high, they will be kind to you.

Run run run run.
Run run run run.

Dance Of The Grey Whales lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

It's Alive lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

Never say never say never
Say the sunken ship
For you never know where you’re going to go
When the anchor lifts, oh, lifts
Pry my fingers off
Loosen the deathly grip
You can’t be tethered to a ghost
To a memory
You’ve got to swim

He cast me adrift
Said, don’t forget
And cast me adrift
He said

There is something about you
Whole, it’s something about you
Vivid, something about you
‘Bout you, ‘bout you lives, it’s alive

Ooh it’s alive
Baby ooh, it’s alive

I don’t know anything
Any much of anything about this here
It is uncharted territory
I know it’s the new frontier, it’s clear
I want you near
But you’re not there to run to
Even when you appear

Yet, there is something about you
Whole, it’s something about you
Vivid, something about you
‘Bout you, ‘bout you lives, it’s alive
To know somebody like you
Exists makes it all right to
Forget what I left behind
Because I like you like you like
It’s alive

Ooh it’s alive
Baby ooh, it’s alive

Now Is The Start lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

Hey

Hey
Do you hear, do you hear
That sound
It's the sound of the lost gone found
It's the sound of a mute gone loud
It's the sound of a new start

Kiss
With a mouth of shooting stars
Of lost and broken hearts
Unafraid you can name your scars
With a touch of a new heart

It sounds like
It sounds like
It sounds like

Ladeedadadadada, dadadadada
Now, oh, now is the start

Oh
And it goes with where you go
Don't lose faith for the friends
You don't
Need a thing, you already know
You are right as you are

And it sounds like
It sounds like
Oh, it sounds like

Ladeedadadadada, dadadadada
Now, now
Ladeedadadadada, dadadadada
Now, oh
Now is the start, oh
Now is the start

Hey, hey, hey, hey

New start in the end
There is a
New heart under there
Beneath these
New parts everywhere
It is a new, new, new, new start
Now is the start

It sounds like
Oh, it sounds like
Oh, it sounds like

Ladeedadadadada, dadadadada
Now, now
Ladeedadadadada, dadadadada
Now, oh, now is the start
Oh, now is the start
Now is the start
Now is the start
Now is the start
Now is the start

It sounds like
It sounds like
It sounds like

Untitled (Grasses Grow) lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

Sea and sand
Mountain and
Stoic pine
River wide and boulders on my path

And it broke my heart
So many parts
Scattered seeds
Turned into a forest in my tracks

Looking back

Things grow towards the light
Looking to find what they are looking for
And grasses grow high
In pursuit of the sky
Like those who’ve come before
Now and evermore

Sometimes you have
To jump you have
To take flight
Sometimes you’ve got to fight for all you’re worth

But then the test
Is how to let yourself be still
Staying doesn’t always have to hurt

I have learned

Things grow towards the light
Looking to find what they are looking for
Grasses grow high
So have I
Looking for something more
Now and evermore

Let your breath fill the empty space
Where you used to keep the dead dead weight
Where you stand is where you belong
The place you’ve been looking for all along
Let your breath fill the empty space
Fill you up like a warm embrace
Where you stand is where you belong
The place you’ve been looking for all along, now
Let your breath fill the empty space
Let it fill you up till you fly away
Where you stand is where you belong
The place you’ve been looking for all along
All along
All along

Oh, Blue Christmas (2009)












Blue Christmas lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue, blue memories, they start a-calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll, I'll have a blue, blue blue Christmas

Blue, blue Christmas without you
Blue, blue
Blue, blue
Blue, blue

You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

Winter Wonderland lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow, we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say, "No, man
But you can do the job
When you're in town."

Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow, we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the all the kids knock him down

When it snows, ain't it thrilling?
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland

Red Ribbon Foxes lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

There's snow on your collar, boy
There's snow on the bench
There's snow on the sleeping grave
And the crooked fence

And if you've been crying
With my hand on my chest
I swear I'll never tell

The town is aglow with lights
The carolers sing
You sister won't sleep tonight
For the morning brings
That old happy Christmas
You came here to find it
I did as well

For joy doesn't come in boxes
Nor peace in a heavy watch
Those red ribbon foxes are not so easy caught
But the search it never stops

The son of a holy man
You dream of the saints
So thin with your poet hands
And your eyes of flame

And I'd like to kiss you
Full on the mouth
I don't care if you tell

For love doesn't come in boxes
Nor truth in a crowded shop
Those red ribbon foxes are not so easy caught
But the search it never stops

For faith doesn't come in boxes
Nor God in your silver cross
Those red ribbon foxes are not so easy caught
But the search goes on and on
The search it never stops

Winter White lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

The smoke of memories in my eyes
The real misleading kind
It comes in winter white
In holiday disguise
To sabotage my mind

Dismiss the urge to reminisce
To miss your stupid kiss
The shot at happiness
It never did exist
And I don't care if it did

'Cause I won't crack
And there's no turning back
Merry Christmas
Happy goddamn new year

I see you everywhere
I see you everywhere I breathe
You are the devil king
The hell of my dreams
You're poisoning my sleep

And I won't crack
There's no turning back
But it's mighty sad

And this year it's going to be
Just like you never knew me
Peace and quiet
Happy home
How I love to be alone
Merry Christmas
Happy goddamn new year

Wish You Well lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

You're a million miles away this Christmas
You're a million miles away from home
But if you feel like coming back, coming back, let me know

I haven't heard you call me sister
I haven't heard it said in years
But it's a funny thing now it's the only thing I want to hear
For I don't know you anymore

I said ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Ring a sleigh bell
Ring a doorbell
I want to wish you well

Our family was never perfect
You did your best to tear it down
Well everybody made mistakes
I wish we could fix'em now

I understand that you are angry
Well, maybe I am angry too
Cause I still love you brother
But I don't know what to make of you
When I don't know you anymore

I said ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Ring a sleigh bell
Ring a doorbell
I want to wish you well

I said ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Ring a sleigh bell
Ring a doorbell
I want to wish you well

Now do you sit by your plastic tree
And tell your friends you've no family
It's not over, over, over
It's not over, over, over

I said ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Ring a sleigh bell
Ring a doorbell
I want to wish you well

I said ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Ring a sleigh bell
Ring a doorbell
I want to wish you well
I want to wish you well
I want to wish you well
I want to wish you well

Christmas Time Is Here lyrics - A Fine Frenzy

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
