little scout

Lyrics

Go Quietly

Moving on to fresh air
All at once
With nothing but a hollow shell
Of a man to lean on
Your bodies are cold
In the homes
Your bodies are cold
In the homes that you worked hard for 

Little eyes are itchy from
The broken earth
Carried around so gently
In the summer air
With any luck she’ll be broken up
With any luck she’ll be broken up
And carried around with the dust 

All in all considering
The fading needs
Things are growing swimmingly
Beneath the wildest trees
With any luck
She’ll be broken up
Oh, with any luck

We Are Walking Out 

We are walking out
We are walking, loud
With the water
With the tide
Today it starts 

We are walking out
We are walking, loud
Graze my hand
In the parking lot
The sweeter air 

We are walking out
We are walking, loud
With the water
With the tide
Today it starts 

Throw it all away
For a kite in his hand
And a head full of spin
Everything ends
Throw it all away
For a kite in his hand
And a head full of spin
Everything ends

Right Now We Are Here 

End the day as the sundown
Puts a lean on what grows
Creeping, steady, around those
Stepping stones avoiding cold toes 

It’s so politely framed
You’ve forgotten every name
And they’re all passing through 

Alone it seems so clear
We’re complacent in our tears
Wasting away for nothing when
Right now we are here

It’s so politely framed
You’ve forgotten every name
And as birds disappear
Right now we are here
It’s so politely framed
You’ve forgotten every name
And they’re all passing through

 In The Air

Train along my open mind
Ever change a notion wild
Fill it with the goodness, hope
Fill it with a tender home 

Plane is wider than I thought
When this trail becomes my storm
Fill it with buttons or
Fill it with bees and hope
Fill it with a tender home 

In the air
In the air I fold 

And it all comes down to nothing at all 

Long Gone 

Take three steps in a forward motion toward assumptions new
Shake my arm gently until light sees my eyes, a monrning new
When I’m losing out, and I’m losing out on you
With the earth so soft under foot I’ll make you know what I knew 

My sweet heart is gone
And the whole world is moving on
Around me the forces are strong
With a step I too could be long gone 

Humid mornings with more of nothing are all that I need
Watching slow poke masses make their way so easily
When I’m losing out, and I’m losing out on you
When you take the hand of a stranger just to feel used 

My sweet heart is gone
And the whole world is moving on
Around me the forces are strong
With a step I too could be gone 

Take your Light

Take your light
Use it well
As a handle for the stars
Build a light aircraft
Make your way up 

Close them off
Close them well
Don’t let no one in
Take your light
Use it up 

August eight
Fed and well
In the hands of the
Only one
You ever knew 

Take your light
Use it well
As a handle for the stars
Build a light aircraft 

You will fold

They Were Found In A House 

Climbing up the mountain side
Our courage clear
And finding, oh, our lives below
So leafy above the austere 

The threat of fires breath is low
But possible now
With arms cradling my head
We’ve left this town

 They were found in a house
With their ear to the ground
They were found underground
They were wondering how 

Climbing up the mountain side
Our courage clear 

They were found in a house
With their ear to the ground
They were found underground
They were wondering how

Dead Loss 

I think you’ll take up shop
On a crowded street
With a swinging motion
Tossing away the keys 

It could be much worse, still
The camera takes a piece
And our fight is a satire
Of the charming streets
Of the charming streets 

I’ve got big sun in bright dreamy eyes
You’ve got weathered roads and we’ve got archaic clothes 

It’s a dead loss
So leave it be
It’s a dead loss
Take a step to the side for me
And one to the right o-oh
And one to the right o-oh
On a lucrative street
Where the lovers meet

I’ve got big sun in bright dreamy eyes
You’ve got weathered roads and we’ve got archaic clothes

The Easiest Way

Arthur, you’re a gentleman
But you have lost your touch
(repeat)

And it seems to me
It seems
This world has let you down
Not an honest word, from this mouth was heard
It’s overwhelming 

Look into my eyes again
Tell me you’re not lost
(repeat) 

And it seems to me
It seems
This world has let you down
Not an honest word, from this mouth was heard
It’s overwhelming me 

There’s those who couldn’t see it
And those who tried to make me wait
I’ll take the easiest way
I’m not prepared to fight it
I’m not allowed to say goodbye
I’ll take the easiest way 

Know Your Exit 

You asked me a question
But I didn’t understand it, I didn’t understand it
I’m holding out with you 

And I don’t like your chances
Said you wouldn’t let this happen, you wouldn’t let this happen
I’m holding out with you 

If you could take over now I’d give you almost everything
If you could take over now I’d give you everything 

We can’t live forever in the mountains by ourselves
They’re going to find us there
And I promise, if you promise that you won’t go out tonight
They’ll only fight and stare 

If you could take over now I’d give you almost everything
If you could take over now I’d give you everything
It’s not like it was back then, I could have told you anything
You gave me one last look, it told me everything
It told me everything
