Here I Am

After all is said and done
All the battles lost and won
The aching in my heart
All the things that fall apart
The moon is on the rise
Shattering the skies
The pounding in my heart
All the things about to start
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
All the words lying still unsaid
All the songs still in my head
The birds that fly above
All the things I’m thinking of
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
Oh I’m alive
And the world is with me
And I’m singing for you
Oh and the light
Is drilling through me
And singing through
I’m alive
I’m alive
I’m alive
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am

Last Song of Winter

Hide and
Go seek
Come out wherever
Whatever you are
Darkness
Quiet
Time to arrive to get found
While the snow’s around
Yesterday is gone
Show me
Slowly
Light’s on the rise
On the tide tonight
Something’s coming
Our house
This house
Quiet as a church mouse
The train took yesterday away
Yesterday is gone
Hide and
Go seek
Come out wherever
Whatever you are
Slowly
Show me
Light’s on the rise
On the tide tonight
Spring is coming soon
Spring is coming

Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers
Leave the light on at the top of the stairs
Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky
Tree taps on the windowpane
That feeling smothers me again
Daddy is it true that we all have to die?
At the top of the stairs is darkness
At the top of the stairs is darkness
Close my eyes and when I looked
Your name was in the memorial book
What had become of all the things we’d planned?
I accepted the commiserations
Of all your friends and your relations
But there’s some things I still don’t understand
You were so tall
How could you fall?
Some photographs of a summer’s day
A little boy’s lifetime away
Is all I’ve left of everything we’ve done
Like a pale moon in a sunny sky
Death gazes down as I pass by
Reminding me that I’m but my father’s son
I offer up to you
This tribute
I offer up to you
This tank park salute

Darkest Before Dawn

My friend
Don’t lose your mind
Darkness
Lasts but a time
So hold on, here comes
A little song
Called darkest, darkest
Darkest before dawn
I know, I know
Life isn’t fair
I love, but I love
You anyway
And darkness, sweet darkness
Don’t be afraid
For darkness is just
Another word for shade
My friend, my friend
Don’t lose your mind
I know life can
Be so unkind
But hold on, just hold on
It won’t be long
‘Cause it’s darkest, darkest
Before the dawn
Darkest, darkest
Before the dawn
It’s darkest
Darkest
Before the dawn

C'mon Let's Go
03:36

Now it’s time to say goodbye
To the one you were, to the words that cried
Inside it’s time you know it’s time to go
Now it’s time to bid farewell
To all the things you did and you knew so well
But it’s in the past, it’s dead it’s time, let go
Now it’s time to reach into
All the things that hurt you’ve been holding on to
An old hairshirt you thought you couldn’t shed
Now’s the time that you always knew
Would come circling round and fly back to you
As you lay awake drowning in your bed
Now it’s time to say thank you
For the things you did and you didn’t do
For the life you’ve lived
You did the best you knew
Now it’s time to make that break
Between was and is and what makes you take
Your time and shake the earth that sticks to you
Now it’s time
Now it’s time to say goodbye
To the one you were to the words that died
Inside it’s time
You know it’s time to go
Now it’s time to say hello
To the one you are that you barely know
Hello hello hello c’mon let go
C’mon let’s go
Gonna hit the road
It’s time to hit the road
I’ve got my life to live, I’ve got my gifts to give
I’ve got my love for you, I’ve got my things to do
So let’s go… we’re gonna hit the road…
Time to hit the road…

Marc Farre Sebastopol, California
“In the company of European-influenced musicians like Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, and Nick Cave. A throaty voice, highly poetic lyrics and a kinetic band behind him. Compelling.”
