Ray Lamontagne - Ouroboros Album Lyrics

Part One - Homecoming

Billboard, back road, meadow
Sunset through the trees.
I can' t remember the faces I've seen.
Low and mean.

High Rise, white light, shadows
Years in the air.
I don' t recall all the "why"
or the "where" or "who was there"

Show me the feathers you've found
The glass in the ground
A comforting sound when the lights are down.

Hillside flush with the Sunrise
Spring in the air
I cant remember a morning so fair, not a care

Show me the feathers you've found
The glass in the ground
A comforting sound when the lights are down.

The birdsong, tugging on my slumber
Opens my eyes.
Slowly I am woken to find
Your hand in mine.

Show me the feathers you've found,
The glass in the ground,
A comforting sound when the lights are down.

Billboard, a back road, a meadow
Sunset through the trees.
I cant recall all the faces I've seen
So low and mean.

The Birdsong, tugging on my slumber
Opens my eyes.
Slowly I am woken to find,
Your hand in mine.

Show me the feathers you've found
The glass in the ground,
A comforting sound when the lights are down

Part One - Hey, No Pressure

I hate to see you breaking down (hey, no pressure)
I hate to watch you fall apart (hey, no pressure)
I want to help you through it all (hey, no pressure, hey, no pressure)
I want to lift you when you fall (hey, no pressure, hey, no pressure)

Anything you want your life to mean it can mean
Anything you want your life to mean it can mean

This life is full of give and take (hey, no pressure)
Be careful of each step you take (hey, no pressure)
It doesn't matter lose or win (hey, no pressure, hey, no pressure)
It's all an illusion in the end (hey, no pressure, hey, no pressure)

Anything you want to be you can be
Anything you want to be you can be
Anything you want your life to mean it can mean
Anything you want your life to mean it can mean

I hate to see you crumbling (hey, no pressure)
You need to know we are your friends (hey, no pressure)
This life is full of give and take (hey, no pressure, hey, no pressure)
Be careful of the choice you make (hey, no pressure, hey, no pressure)

Anything you want your life to mean it can mean
Anything you want your life to mean
Anything you want to be you can be
Anything you want to be you can be

Hey, no pressure

Part One - The Changing Man

I am the changing man
I am the changing man

I am the changing man
I am the changing man

I am the changing man
I am the changing man...

Part One - While It Still Beats

So ends the game, so ends the chase
There's only one way to get out of this race
There is no second place
If you don't give them every ounce
They'll cut it out, while it still beats

You close the wound I bite the blade
Lie my dying body in the shade
Take my boots and the bullets from my gun
Point me towards the sun
Point me towards the sun

Part Two - In My Own Way

Lock the door
Draw the shades
Close my eyes
I'm miles away
I'll spend the day in my own way

Count the hours
Lock the days
Underneath it all
The rise and swelling of the waves
I'll spend the day in my own way

All the plans
That were made
Let them die
Let them fade
I'll spend the day in my own way

Please understand I'm only human

After all's said and done
Only here a moment
Then the moment's gone
I'll spend the day in my own way

Please understand I'm only human
The times are frail the times are fold
Don't break your back trying to carry it
Wait 'till the world can't please the moon

Lock the door
Draw the shades
Close my eyes
I'm miles away
I'll spend the day in my own way

I'll spend the day in my own way
I'll spend the day in my own way

Part Two - Wouldn't It Make A Lovely Photograph

We sat in the grass 'neath the evening Sun
Breathing in the air as the children run

When I am with you
When I am with you
I'm right where I belong
And I am
Right where I belong

Weaving in circles the starlight surrounds us
Leaves me
Me questioning all with no answers

When I am with you
When I am with you
I'm right where I belong
And I am
Right where I belong

Never gonna hear this song on the radio
Never gonna hear this song on the radio
Never gonna hear this song
Never gonna hear this song
Never gonna hear this song

But wouldn't it make a lovely photograph?
