Ebin-Rose Lyrics

Ebin-Rose

Through the Wires

ENGLISH RAIN

Ebin Parker and Rose Bengtson

Morning rises from nowhere

Thatâs how it seems in this town

I am less than amused

By the grays and the blues

And the fact you're not around

Chorus:

I think of you on the rail train

Ducking in the doorways through the English rain

I think of you on the rail train

Ducking in the doorways through the English rain

Strange the road has gone this way

Not the dream my mind had enclosed

Though the times have all changed

They will always remain

For the past it can't suppose

(Chorus)

Once belief kept me entranced

Now vastness finds me at home

Darkness brings truth to sight

Till each one feels the light

And the morning unfolds

(Chorus)

FADING GLIMPSES

Ebin Parker and Rose Bengtson

The days have come and gone

While scattered visions kept me longing

Now clouded glass no longer hides

You who waits to know my eyes

Chorus:

Weâll hold fast to the fading glimpses

Of the lives we used to live

For they have brought us past the gate

To a place where we both can give

To a place where we both can give

For so long we've stood apart

Yet separateness led us to our hearts

Those other times cannot dissolve

Our bittersweet resolve

(Chorus)

The unseen journeys that lie ahead

May sometimes wary our forward tread

To realize and move beyond

We must secure this trusting bond

(Chorus)

SAVE A LITTLE BIT

Ebin Parker and Rose Bengtson

Choose your words slow

Watch where your mind goes

It just might take you away

Cold moon hung low

Where the trees grow hard

Against the day

Chorus:

And all she said

All she said

Was save a little bit for me

Set your anchor deep

Bend the promises you keep

But keep 'em for me

Many a friend will fall

No one will call you down

From the tree

(Chorus)

Pick up all your sticks and go

Go back to go

Cause when you start hoping

You leave yourself wide open

(Chorus)

TURN TO STONE

Ebin Parker & Matt Bruns

Pulling out the corners

Try to square the past regrets you feel

Close to the legal limit

Head over heels

Straight to hell

Chorus:

Shoot for the middle

There's safety in the numbers there

Various positions

Make you feel

Love is assured

Kiss me through the wires once

A new season brings the distance home

Tell me I'm your favorite liar

Just once

Before I turn to stone

(Chorus)

Pulling out the corners

Try to square the past regrets you feel

Close to the legal limit

Head over heels

Straight to hell

(Chorus)

TROUBLE CHILD

Ebin Parker and Rose Bengtson

He was a trouble child

He didn't want to be around when it all caught up to him

I thought about us cutting out, once or twice

Yeah, but I always lost my nerve

You used to wonder where we both would be

When the deal went down and we both were clean

Now all those promises are just words and memories

The thing I want most I donât think I'll ever be

Well, where are you now, and what do you do

Who says they love you and who turns the screws

Iâve been thinking, and after all these years

I still love you and that's my greatest fear

He was a trouble child

He didnât want to be around when it all caught up to him

I though about us cutting out, once or twice

Yeah, but I always lost my nerve

Yeah, but I always lost my nerve

But I always lost my nerve

PEACE ABIDES

Ebin Parker and Rose Bengtson

I've got pictures; I've got words

A heart that never swerves

The night is deep, but peace abides

I've watched the sky; I've searched your eyes

A sacred moment grace revealed

The memories concealed

Just a crack Iâve learned to hide

You saw my soul, not my disguise

The night is deep, but peace abides

I've watched the sky; I've searched your eyes

A sacred moment grace revealed

The one who lie concealed

Show me you know our hands display

An opening, another way

Today we know that peace abides

Within the deep and lasting ties

A sacred moment grace revealed

Love awakened, dreams concealed

Love awakened, dreams concealed

TELL YOU

Ebin Parker and Rose Bengtson

Everybody's taking chances

Everybody wants to hit it big

I've got no expectations

About anything

Chorus:

And I don't want to tell you

I don't want to tell you

I don't want to tell you

Cause I can never take it back

I can never take it back

And I've sat and wondered

About this thing before

How it can feel so good at first

And leave your heart so sore

(Chorus)

Time has a way of holding me

Within it's drifting mind

Although it seems an endless wait

Its soul I know I'll find

And I don't want to tell you

I don't want to tell you

I don't want to tell you

Cause I can never take it back

I can never take it back

How will I ever take it back?

WASH AWAY

Ebin Parker and Rose Bengtson

Paint me a landscape, where I can play

Where the pain and sadness will wash away

Chorus:

I don't like the color of this day

Make it go away

Go trace your sorrow across the sky

You blame yourself but you don't know why

(Chorus)

And I wonder why you act this way

Why you fill your life with things that don't stay

Morning brings new faces, but none so sweet

As my remembrance of the times we meet

(Chorus)

I don't like the color of this day

Help me fly away

WAITING

Ebin Parker and Rose Bengtson

Waiting for my love to show

Across these mountain valleys and fields deep with snow

And I shake these empty times from my brain

Close my eyes so I can see him again

Waiting for the day to come

To jump from these mountains etched with sun

And there's an ocean beyond these trees so tall

But I don't care

Waiting for my love to show

Yeah I'm waiting for my love to show

And I'm wondering who's looking through these eyes

Waiting for my love to show

END OF TIME

Ebin Parker and Rose Bengtson

Last night it felt as though the ocean drained

We used to walk its shores once filled

Then suddenly I knew our paths had strayed

It left the deepest chill

Chorus:

Through the passing of the seasons

I will seek rhymes for all the reasons

Until the end of time

Until the end of time

Sometimes I wonder why the souls I've sought

Shared the need to blend their dreams with mine

We found within our worlds many a lesson taught

Still, parting came with time

(Chorus)

The cycles of life will always flow like the tides

Often passersby they'll take

I know that the choice to resist or ride

Is mine alone to make

(Chorus)
