Leaving

There's no use waiting when you're gone
There's no use taking off when you're home
I'll miss you too, but I'm still here
Another way to work this out
would be nice right now
Another set of eyes to see
but I'm leaving
It's holding out or holding ground
Their backs are breaking, but don't make a sound
I'll take the time, but then it's gone
I never thought that it was right
but it was nice, somehow
And either way, it's up to me
so I'm leaving
Is it too late to come home?

Letter In My Head

I wrote you a letter once,
it was in my head
But now that I think back,
you never read what it said
Take it once, take it twice
no one cares tonight
We both know
that it's the right time
Never said it would be
this kind of place for me
How much do you
really need, need?
I gave you a thought once,
it was in my brain
But that was so far back,
my mind may have changed
Crack a joke, crack a smile
we'll all be here a while
No one knows
when it's the right time
Time that's free, that doesn't mean
it's time to be a fool
How's it feel
to be so cool, cool?
A letter inside my head
that you never read

Far Away

I thought I was at home
but now I find I'm far away
Only the lonely are here to stay
Bringing me here
you're gonna let yourself down,
don't beat it around now
Just say it
Ain't no way we're gonna make it
Time spent
so far has been spent well,
but I've gotta get back to the road
and myself
I'm finding pictures on the shelf
I can't stand the sight
I can't lose my mind
Can't get caught up
in something I don't believe
I thought I was at home

Most Of All
03:45
|

Most of all
I have seen only stars, so far
Is it wrong to be so gone
where you are?
Oh, this whole fantasy
is a wild one, at that,
and I hope I'll find
another friend
Mostly now
all is calm on the roads we've known
And the dream I've seen, it seems,
is my own
Oh, is this paradise,
or is this the cave?
I hope we know
before it's too late
And the true cold calling back
tells us all of the life that we have seen
both in our heads and on the screen
And the truth that we all know
is being torn apart and thrown away
in the most ridiculous of ways

Manna Frost Trio Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Manna Frost Trio recommends:
Tarpits and Canyonlands
by Bombadil
Everybody needs some Bombadil. From start to finish, Tarpits and Canyonlands positively oozes with the quirky, characteristic sounds of what I like to call "The Beatles of Durham."

Too Far From Home
by The Trails
I may be a part of The Trails, but I still think the classic songwriting and guitar work of Joe Morrison deserves some serious recognition. More great living-room rock!

B-Sides & Rarities: Vol. 1
by Ethan P. Flynn
An outpouring of errant, psychedelic experiments from one of the UK's most underrated cosmonauts, texturally rich and sonically deep.
go to album
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness.

The Late Great Gold Dust
by Gold Dust
The fantastic indie folk songs on the latest from Gold Dust are slathered in gallons of echo, making them feel titanic and 200 feet tall.
