[meme] these graces that hold me, it's from you that I borrow
From sheryden:
Leave comment on this post, and I'll give you a band.You put your ten favorite songs by that band on your LJ and challenge others to do the same. Don't worry, I'll make it one you know.
I got the lovely Vienna Teng.
i. Recessional
In the terminal she sleeps on my shoulder / hair falling forward, mouth all askew
As fluorescent announcements beat their wings overhead / "Passengers missing, we're looking for you."
ii. Undone [Live at the San Francisco Independent]
Like sudden daylight there you were / took all I had just not to swerve
And slow instead of yield / but then your light was gone
iii. No Gringo
Oh Arizona's burning / they say the fence turned 'round
Now the razor wire keeps us out
iv. Radio
Oh the flash / then the silence
Shouldn't there be screaming praying crying / oh anything at all
v. Pontchartrain
Who drew the line? / Who drew the line between you and me?
Who drew the line / that everyone sees?
vi. Watershed
While you were building your empires / I was still sleeping / I was still sleeping
While you were setting your woods afire / I was still dreaming / I was still dreaming
vii. Daughter
You're talking about things / interesting just slightly
And things that matter too much / to say any way but lightly
viii. Decade and One
I thought of anger and adulation / And the taste of dreams realized
And the waste dreams realized / leave behind
ix. In Another Life
And we feel it like the shiver / of a passing train
That other life / deep underground
x. Love Turns 40
But something keeps you faithful / when all else in you turns and runs
Love turns forty / and the morning comes
