Dead Sea Water

I thought I was dreaming when I heard the news
Left me staggered and confused
Sitting on my sofa, fighting back the tears
Hadn't thought of you in years
When I think about you
Makes me cry
Feels like Dead Sea water
In my eyes
I was sleepwalking all through my routine
Floating on from scene to scene
Recalling all the times when the boy with flaxen hair
Occasionally returned my stare
When I think about you
Makes me cry
Feels like Dead Sea water
In my eyes
We weren't very close, but I won't forget your smile
Though it has been quite awhile
Once I had adored you, so impish and carefree
You won't know what you mean to me
When I think about you
Makes me cry
Feels like Dead Sea water
In my eyes
Wish that I could say goodbye
I just want to let you fly

Jars on the Shelf

Jars on the shelf, dusty and old
Sealed them myself, never turn cold
Keep them confined where I can see
Safe in my mind you'll always be
Visions of you
Soak through the brine
Murky and few
I call them mine
You were so green, fresh off the vine
Barely eighteen, and you were mine
Brazen and profane, molding my desires
Can't really explain how it expired
Visions of you
Soak through the brine
Murky and few
I call them mine
Jars on the shelf, dusty and old
Sealed them myself, never turn cold
Visions of you
Soak through the brine
Murky and few
I call them mine
Visions of you
Soak through the brine
Murky and few
I call them mine
Since we've been apart I've been losing my mind
Bereft of all reason but not yet resigned
I don't know what to do without you
Since we've been apart I've been losing my mind
Bereft of all reason but not yet resigned
I don't know what to do without you

I'll Wait

I'm waiting for my true love to return to me again
It seems that he is just another fair-weathered friend
Da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da
Da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da
I'll sit right here beside the door await the turning key
Can't entertain the notion that he won't return to me
Da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da
Da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da
I wish that I'd been cooler tempered earlier today
It ended with him storming out me begging him to stay
Da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da
Da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da
Wound tight inside my fickle mind true reason is obscured
Perhaps someday I'll learn to be a little more mature
Da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da
Da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da
I'll wait
I'll wait
I'll wait
How can I meet your needs without surrendering my own?
I may be proud but too much pride and I will be alone
I love you darlin', please come back, with patience you will see
That I'll become the better person that I want to be
I'll wait
I'll wait
I'll wait
(violin solo)
I'll wait
I'll wait
I'll wait
I'll wait

How Can I Claim?
02:58

How can I claim that I know who you are?
Now I can see that I've kept you so far
Can't really say that I've tried all that hard
How can I claim that I know who you are?
Thought I knew you through and through
But I know only one part of you
What's the use of being obtuse
A stubborn quality?
I see you the way I want you to be
This is why you always disappoint me
I can only see you from my own point of view
It makes it hard to get to know the real you
How can I claim that I know who you are?
Now I can see that I've kept you so far
Can't really say that I've tried all that hard
How can I claim that I know who you are?
You one seemed so smooth and cool
But time showed you had made me a fool
Once tender and nice, you've now turned to ice
Where went the fire I fed?
You never would do the things that you said
Your words did not confirm the life you led
I can only see you from my own point of view
It makes it hard to get to know the real you
How can I claim that I know who you are?
Now I can see that I've kept you so far
Can't really say that I've tried all that hard
How can I claim that I know who you are?

Come have a seat upon my chair and tell me bout the Civil War
I'm well aware I'm lacking basic knowledge that I can't ignore
My wit is rotting gently, I disengage my mind
But when you speak of Grant and Lee
Everything feels fine
My lifetime wisdoms seem to span just one inch wide and one inch deep
The fleeting memories of what I've learned are harder now to keep
My wit is rotting gently, I disengage my mind
But when you speak of Grant and Lee
Everything feels fine
Sit, tell me your history, I'll learn it all someday
Wish I knew more than I do, what can I say?
I'm filled with such a sense of sick suspense as you recount bloodshed
I feel like General Hooker when the cannon ball concussed his head
My wit is rotting gently, I disengage my mind
But when you speak of Grant and Lee
Everything feels fine
Sit, tell me your history, I'll learn it all someday
Wish I knew more than I do, what can I say?

Silver Dagger
03:37

Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
And in her right hand a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
"All men are false," says my mother
"They'll tell you wicked loving lies
"And the very next evening they'll court another
"Leave you alone to pine and sigh"
My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
And on every link a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged
Go find another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I've been warned and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
And in her right hand a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride

Goldfeather is an experimental pop band based out of New York City. The whimsical brainchild of Sarah Goldfeather and Mike Tierney, Goldfeather’s music has been described as “a nightmare funhouse-mirror take on Carly Rae Jepson-style upbeat pop [that is] deeply disconcerting and outrageously fun” (National Sawdust Log) and “giddy, cute, vulnerable, and delightful” (I Care If You Listen). ... more
