Celice

Celice
it`s in the way you hurt me
Celice
I know that I`m alive
open up inside
make me want you
make me want to
wrap yourself around me
hold me tighter
hold me tight as you can
Celice
it`s in the way you hurt me
celice you sharpened all my senses
I know you`re on my side
it`s in the way you teach me
Celice
to chase the thoughts away
you opened up my eyes
make me want you
make me want to
you know it feels so nice
hold me tighter now
hold me tight as you can
Celice
it`s in the way you hurt me
celice
you sharpened all my senses
I know you`re on my side-

Take on me

We're talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Oh the things that you say
Is it life or just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two.

#9 Dream

So long ago
Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me

Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain

Two spirits dancing so strange

Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Dream, dream away
Magic in the air, was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe
More I cannot say, what more can I say?

On a river of sound
Thru the mirror go round, round
I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)
Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfolding

Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?

(Seemingly) Nonstop July

Walking by stranger
Stranger than me
We talk of the future
Between you and me

Sweet little darling
Where will we be
Sweet little darling
Where will we be

It's hard to conceive it
All comes to an end
A joke when it's funny, wellÂ…
I laugh and pretend

We're fools to believe it
We're fools to try
To slow down this
seemingly non-stop July

A Fine Blue Line

Take a look and see
What's become of me
Remember how it used to be

People that we'd meet
Were falling at your feet
You didn't eve see it

Time marches on ahead – enough said
There's only one way through it
Time marches on ahead – one day we'll see it
How there's a fine blue line
Running through it

We read each other's books
We gave each other looks
Like we couldn't trust ourselves
And we knew it

So tell me where you've been
And I'll show you were you're going
You can shout, you can scream
Your way through itÂ…

Well time rushes an ahead – enough said
That's just the way we blew it
Time marches on ahead – one day you'll see it;
Love is a fine blue line

Time races on ahead – enough said
That's just the way we blew it
Time marches on ahead – one day you'll see it
Love is the fine blue line
Running through it .

A Little Bit

And it will take a little bit of extra time
To make it shine, to make it shine
And it will take a little bit of extra care
To bring it where you think it's there

And there's no one else around
This is what I've found Anyone you see
Anyone you meet
Some one at your feet
Anyone could be that one
Anyone you know
Anywhere you go
Some one in a show
Could be that one

And it will take a little bit of all you've got
To get a shot, get a shot
And it will take a little bit of extra care
To bring it where you think it's there

And there's nowhere else to go
This is what I know
Anyone you see
Anyone you meet
Maybe down the street
Anyone could be that one
Everywhere you look
Pages of a book
All the years it took
Everything got you down

And it will take a little while to get back home
The road is long, the road is long
And it will take a little work to get it back
To mend the cracks, to bridge the gaps

Anyone you see
Could be the one
Anyone you meet
Could be that one
Some one at your feet
Could feel the same
Maybe you'd complete
Could share your name
Anywhere you look
Pages of a book
Everything she took
Never let it keep you down

Holding out for used
Broken up and bruised
Losable to lose
Anywhere you go
Anyone you know
Think it doesn't show
Everybody knows
Anyone you meet
Maybe down the street
(And it will take a little time to get back home)
Some one at you feet.

Afternoon High

The sunlight hits the corner of your eye
As it bounces off the morning sky
The summer in the 70s fly by
Bye
Daylight hits the corners of your mind
Steals the thought you thought no one could find
Close your eyes and it will rob you blind
Blind
Incidental memories collide
Sentimental reveries abide
Afternoon high

Daylight hits the corners of your mouth
Steals the words that filled you up with doubt
Open up and let them all fall out
Honey smoothes the wrinkles from you bed
Gone are the indentations of your head
Leaving just the frown upon your forehead
Incidental memories collide
Sentimental reveries abide
Afternoon high

Worry works a wrinkle over time
Open eyes and let it rob you blind
Incidental memories collide
People tell me you've been blinded by
On afternoon high
On afternoon high
On afternoon high

All I Need

All I need is a little time,
To get behind this sun and cast my weight,
All I need is a peace of this mind,
Then I can celebrate.

All in all there's something to give,
All in all there's something to do,
All in all there's something to live,
With you ...

All I need is a little sign,
To get behind this sun and cast this weight of mine,
All I need is the place to find,
And there I'll celebrate.

All in all there's something to give,
All in all there's something to do,
All in all there's something to live,
With you ...

Analogue

Come back, my darling one
I'm calling on you
The road ahead is long
And I must warn you

I wonder
Where did she go?
If I failed you
I tell you right now

All I want you to know; I love you
All I need is the time to show you

Come back, my fallen son
Don't let them fool you
Cos when the day is done
They'll never move you

Lay down your senseless pride
(Got more than you)
Put out your mournful tones
I tell you right now

All I want you to know; I love you
All I need is the time to show you how I feel
Feel

(Lay down your senseless pride
You travelled once too often, yeah)

I tell you right now
All I want you to know; I love you
All I need is the time to show you how I feel

All I want you to know I love you
All I need is the time to show you how I feel

(Come back, my analogue
I hardly knew ya
the high end sloping off
a thing of beauty
take hold, my little ones
my minor key sonatas
show forth your looping grace
no one here can take your place)

And You Tell Me

Please don't hurt me
I have told you
All my love is all i've got
And tomorrow is the day
When I for your sake
I'm coming back
And you tell me
That i don't love you
Trying hard to make you jealous
Trying harder to make you stay
Days are longer
Night are crazy
It's so strange when you're away
And you tell me
That i don't love you
becuase i love you i will show you
all the faces my love can have, so
Please
Let me come to you
And stay this time
And you tell me
That i don't love you
Oh you know
That it's just not true

Angel In The Snow

Angel, angel or so
Wherever you may go
Hmmm, yeahÂ…
I'll follow
Wherever you may go

And always will I be there
Shake worries from your hair
Hmmm, yeahÂ…
I'll be there
Always

Angel, angel or so
Wherever you may go
Hmmm, yeahÂ…
I'll follow
Wherever you may go

You're my angel in the snow
You're my angel in the snow

Are We Ourselves

Lost feelings return
So maybe i can learn
To stop this world of a lie
This time around

Are we, are we ourselves?
Are we, are we ourselves?

Because seen through these eyes
We lead a double life
No one will know
So check it out steppin' out here i go

Are we, are we ourselves?
Are we, are we ourselves?

Well, lost spirits return
So maybe i can learn
To stop this world of a lie
To this earth we are bound i ask you

Are we, are we ourselves?
Are we, are we ourselves?

Barely Hanging On

I used to be so sensible on my own
Now I'm so sensitive it's a joke
I'm getting by on decibels like a drug
And greet every brand
New day with a shrug

I'm barely hanging on

I used to be so comfortable in a suit
Almost presentable next to you
I used to be so confident in a crowd
Now I can't say my own name aloud

I'm barely hanging on

And now I guess you're
Wondering why
We never could see eye to eye
Oh but never mind
And now I guess it's hard to see
What has gotten into me
Oh but never mind

I'm barely hanging on

Between Your Mama and Yourself

Something you should know
This can't wait
I've been meaning to tell you
A long time ago
And today's that day
I'll put it straight
No, it just can't wait

Oh sure, it took a little time
I know that's true
But this business
Been preying on my mind
Since I met you
The thing is babe,

Between your mama and yourself
Forced to choose and without help
With a margin, you know it's true
The one I love
Well, it's eh...prpbably you

C'mon now, stay a little while
Before you go
This thing, it's been preying on my
mind
But even so
This I know

Between your mama and yourself
Forced to choose and without help
With a margin, you know it's true
The one I love
Well, it's eh...prpbably you

You've got to know
It's got to show
Yeah, I've got to let her go

Birthright

You don't wanna hang around
Said you were leaving town for the summer
At least till sundown

Cuz time ain't gonna grind you down,
ain't gonna waste your life
chasing rainbows like some clown

But who's gonna come with you tonight
Who's gonna to tell you it's alright?
Everything changes over time
Just like wine

Time ain't gonna hold you up,
Ain't going to make it stop long enough to ease your mind,
Ain't gonna make it last forever

And you...
whatcha gonna do?
Walk it solitary?
So unnecessary
But it's alright
It's your birthright

Hey, hey everything's different down the line
Everything changes over time

Time ain't gonna make it worse
It's gonna make you start feeling better
Just like wine
We're gonna make it last forever

Hey you...
Whatcha gonna do?
Just be ordinary?
So unnecessary

But it's all right
Yes it's alright
It's your birthright

It's your birthright

Blue Sky

I find it hard to breathe
As life just eats away
At the faces that surround me
They look tired today

The lady at my table
Doesn't want me here
I just want to talk to her

But would she laugh at my accent
And make fun of me
It doesn't seem like this
Blue sky's here for me

There are no girls in here
As far as I can see
Only pin-up posters
Looking down at me

Watching papercups of coffee
Growing cold before my eyes
All the things I see
That make me realize

I'm in this big world without you
Nothing to my name
I never knew that
Blue sky meant such pain

I'm dying to be different
In the coffee shop
I've lived on borrowed strength
Now my supplies are cut

Though i'm older than my looks
And older than my years
I'm too young to take on
My deepest fears

Oh, I used to be confused
But now I just don't know
Since you left I've been watching
Blue skies come and go.

Cannot Hide

Can you see me baby
Standing in the light
I feel your cat's eyes on me
Faster in the night
I move inside
Got those eyes
Something's burning baby
That's alright
You and I
Here tonight

Meet me on the other side
'Cause you can do me right
Take me where I cannot hide
'Cause you can do me right
Meet me on the other side
You don't know me girl
I'm faceless in the crowd
The things I could show you baby
Come on, come onto my cloud
I'm alive tonight
Something's falling baby
You and I
Out of the sky I can see it in your eyes

Meet me on the other side
'Cause you can do me right
Take me where I cannot hide
'Cause you can do me right
You need, baby, you're alive
'Cause you can do me right
Take me to the other side
'Cause you can do me right
Meet me on the other side

I speak French today baby

Case Closed On Silver Shore

Here's a stain on the ottaman
Here's a slug in the plasterwall
Here's a glass with a fingerprint
Left out in the entrance hall
Left out in the hallway...

Case closed on silver shore
Can't prove a thing
Case closed on silver shore
Can't prove a thing

Here's a room showing signs of struggle
Here's a tear in the victim's shirt
Here's a plate with a chalky substance
Like a footprint in the dirt
Left out in the driveway...

Case closed on silver shore
Can't prove a thing
Case closed on silver shore
Can't prove a thing

I wouldn't put it past the neighbour
I wouldn't put it past the maid
I wouldn't put it past the boyfriend
Yeah, he'd do it in a jealous rage

Case closed on silver shore
Can't prove a thing
Case closed on silver shore
The boyfriend wont sink
Case closed on silver shore
Can't make it stick
Case closed on silver shore
He's getting away

Cold As Stone

You're back again
You roam the streets
And crack again
You're back again
You're travel-worn
Standing here in the town
Where you were born
It's not your home

The mirror sees you
So alone
...Cold as stone - Yeah

You're not your own
You feel a chill
Go through your bones
You're not your own
There's something wrong
You call you doctor on the phone
He's not at home

So you leave a message
After the tone –
"I'm cold as stone"

Emerald green neon lights above
Sapphire red falls on you below
Cold as stone
Emerald green neon lights above
Sapphire reds fall on you below

You're back again
You send a curse out
In to the night
You're back again
You're travel-worn
Standing here
In the town you were born
It's not your home

The mirror sees you
So alone
...Cold as stone
Cold as stone

Cold River

I took a ride in an automobile
Pushed my hands out against the wheel

Asked a girl if she needed a ride
She said “Sure, babe, but I wanna drive”

Hey now, wait awhile
We're going down with a smile
Cold river – she took me down
Cold river – she took my pride

Had to stop on account of the storm
Seemed like years since I'd been warm

We droved all night till the tires blew
Got in the back and did what you do

Hey now, wait awhile
We're going down with a smile
Cold river – she took my pride
Cold river – she took my pride
On a sunny day
On a sunny day
(She took my pride)
All the money you made
Did you need it, babe

Cosy Prisons

Take a moment if you dare
Catch yourself a breath of air
There's another life out there
And you should try it

Dead ends hide on every street
Look before you place your feet
Cracks and fissures keep the beat
And you're inside it

Every thought you never dared to think
Every mood you always knew would sink
Every line you spoke out loud in a jest
All the time you took to be your best
Soon forgotten

The sun must never touch your skin
It could expose the dark within
You're paranoid about the paranoia

And panic hits without a sign
You worry about it all the time
Every perfect moment is a hidden warning

Cuz everything makes your pretty head spin
And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in
With everything this way it's better to forget
Than end up in a place with something to regret

Your transatlantic shopping spree
Your health forever guarantees
Organic -bio-life's a breeze in cosy prisons

But hiding out in a salad bar
Isn't gonna get you far
and bottled wine is vinegar tomorrow

Everything around here makes your pretty head spin
Its piling up high and you're back where you begin
Moments you have tried so hard to forget
Are promising to 've been the best one's yet

Everytime you shut your eyes it appears
Everytime you trace your steps back here
None of your convictions have the same old ring
No doubt you found a place for everything
In cosy prisons

So if you're careful
You won't get hurt
But if your careful all the time
Then what's it worth?

Cry Wolf

"Night I left the city,
I dreamt of a wolf..."

He came from where the winds are cold
And truth is seen through keyholes
Strange longings that never sleep
Oh now he's come where no hearts beat

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

You can start, but you cannot stop
You give in, but you can't give up
You can tell all your desperate jokes
To a world that puts your love on hold

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

The sunken-in eyes
And the pain in his cries
A shape in the dark...

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

Cry wolf
Time to worry now
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

Cry wolf
Time to worry now
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

Cry wolf
Cry wolf

Crying In The Rain

I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting in me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for stormy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Only heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
Since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday, when my crying is done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but 'till then
Darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying is done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but till then
Darling, you never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain ...

Dark Is The Night For All

It's time we said goodbye
Time now to decide
Oh don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all

It's time we moved out West
This time will be the best
And when the evenings fall
Dark is the night for all

It's time Â… yeah, to break free
It's time to pull away
For you and me

It's time Â… yeah, to break free
We need to celebrate the mystery

It's time we said goodbye
Time for you and I
Oh don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all

Days on End

Do know why winter's such a cold and lonely place?
If you do
Breath it in to my bleached faces

Falling far
The sheets of my bed desappear

I hear the clock
Strikes up prettily at the hours
I wear the path deeper following you

Girl I knew comes tired home
From another working day
Cooks a meal
Puts the stove on and sees the snow

Falling from a white painted
Sky drifting by

And here I come
In through the door
I say hello and very little more
Did she love me anymore?

Do you know why winter's such a cold place?
I'm laughing at the weather
It remind me of something
It took me years and years to forget

Do you love me anymore?

Did Anyone Approach You?

You never look up
You never look back
You never say anything based on fact
You've got issues going way back
You never say 'hi'
You never say much
You never make an effort to stay in touch
I've got this feeling something happened here
Something happened here

Did anybody feel you?
Did anybody deal you?
Did anybody make you do some things now?
Did anyone approach you?
Did anybody coach you?
Did anybody tell you what to say now?
Hopeless - it's not hopeless
Doubtful - but not hopeless at all

You never looked up
You never look back
You never did anything in between
Are things black and white with you
You never believed
You never belonged
Never made milestones to call your own
I've got this feeling something happened here
Something happened here

Did anybody hide you?
Did anybody fight you?
Did anyone decide to do some harm now?
Did anybody read you?
Did anybody bleed you?
Did anybody feed you lots of junk now?
Hopeless - it's not hopeless
Doubtful - but not hopeless
Hopeless - it's not hopeless
Doubtful - but not hopeless at all
Hopeless - it's not hopeless
Doubtful - but not hopeless at all

Something happened here
Something happened here

Differences

Raise your voice
Give us hope
Make us whole
Save our souls
We have failed so many times
Our attempts in steep decline
Promises we could not keep
Differences that run too deep


We're afraid
of ourselves
For a while
Keep us safe
Love is such a big idea
If you don't see it, how can we?
Promises we could not keep
Differences that run too deep


Show the way
Lead us home
We are lost
Give us hope

Don't Do Me Any Favours

You offer your assistance
But you won't accept my help
You draw your own conclusions
And there's room for little else

Your own participation's
Based on how much you can lose
I cannot help but feel
That this won't be of any use

Don't offer me your credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favors
I don't wanna play that game

I do not want to see myself
As someone that you saved
I'd rather be your adversary
Than to be your slave

Cuz every friendly gesture
Turns my stomach inside out
Don't do me any favors
I am better off without

Don't offer me your credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favors
I don't want to know your name

But it's alright
Yes it's alright
Yes its alright
Yes its alright
Yes it's alright

Don't offer me your credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favors
I don't want to know your name

Don't do me any favors
Don't do me any favors
Don't do me any favors

Coz it's alright
Yes, it's alright etc

Ooh-don't give me any credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favours
I don't want to see your face

But it's alright
Yes it's alright

Dragonfly

I will never let you down
I will always be around

In the time we are here
We'll see love disappear
Don't ask how
Don't ask why
Just fly, dragonfly
Just fly, dragonfly

I will never bring you down
I will always stick around
I will heat you when you're cold

In the time we have left
We'll raise eyes to the sky
Don't ask how
Don't ask why
Just fly, dragonfly
Just fly, dragonfly

Don't ask how
Don't ask why
Just fly, dragonfly
Just fly, fly, fly dragonfly

Driftwood

Oh come pity me, a poor mad sailor
Stranded on this love
Here i lie like driftwood, honey
Is this what i?ve become

I go high over, down under
At a lady?s will, under you

At a lady?s will
I?m drifting still
I?m drifting still

So i ask in fading innocence
And all my full rage
Will your hands still touch me
When my face has fallen in with age

I go high over, down under
At a lady?s will, under you

High over, down under
At a lady?s will, under you

At a lady?s will
I?m drifting still
I?m drifting still

High over, down under
At a lady?s will
High over, down under
At a lady?s will

Early Morning

Early morning
8:00 precise
I see the lonely
August sun arise.

Say you know you will
Move like you do
Out in the fields...
Waited the whole night through
Early morning...
Early morning...
Yeah...

Ran the whole way
Down to the tracks
Through the doorway
Then a last look back.

Say you know you will
Save me like you do
Out in the fields...
I've waited the whole night through
Early morning...
Early morning...
Yeah...

Out in the fields...

I climbed all the stairways
To find the rooftop clear
Got a shotgun
Lying with me here.

Say you know you will
Move me like you do
Out in the fields...
You know how it feels, yeah...
Early morning...
Early morning...

Out in the fields...

Early morning
8:00 precise...

East Of The Sun

East Of The Sun

Half of a letter
Tells half a story
The way I see it
It's half the worry
Where I came from
I forgot too soon...
East of the sun
And west of the moon

Money talks
And hey, I'm listening
I've lived without it
Enough to miss it
Where I'm going
I'll get there soon....
East of the sun
And west of the moon

Ooh, never gonna get there later
You know, I wanna get there soon
Never gonna get there, baby
On a desert road to home
East of the sun
And west of the moon

Another day leaves me aching
I try to wake up
But something's breaking
Here inside me
Deep and hollow
A sound that no other sound
could follow
I know the pain
Before the wound....
East of the sun
And west of the moon

Ooh, never gonna get there later
You know, I wanna get there soon
Never gonna get there, baby
On a desert road to home
East of the sun
And west of the moon

Forever Not Yours

Hold me tight, this is a lonely night
And I've hurt you baby, 'cause you're my light
Make me strong, just like you make me weak
And your hands reach out for me
Even in your sleep

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

Memories they keep coming through
The good ones hurt more than the bad ones do
The days were hot, and the nights were deep
And I miss you, baby
I miss you, baby

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

I'll soon be gone now
It won't be long now
Forever not
Forever not yours

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours
I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

Halfway Through The Tour

Halfway through the tour
We'll be somewhere else tomorrow
Halfway through the tour
We'll be somewhere else tomorrow
And you know
I can't do much more (I can't wish for more)
Than walking out that door
And make for home tomorrow
Halfway through the tour

Halfway through the tour
Houses set back from the road
Halfway through the tour
Across a dry expanse we go
And you know
I can't do much more (I can't wish for more)
Than walking out that door
And make for home tomorrow
Halfway through the door

But when the crowd engage
And takes you to a place
That you now
Everyone can be a part of
Everyone can be a part of it

Halfway through the tour
While there's money to be made
Halfway through the tour
From the public eye we fade
And you know
Across a dry expanse
We're flying by the seat of our pants
We'll be somewhere else tomorrow

Halfway through the tour
I can't do much more
Than make for home tomorrow

Here I Stand And Face The Rain

Help me
I need your love
Don't walk away
The dark scares me so
We're nothing apart
Let's stay friends forever
forever
Here i stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings
Trust me
For whom i am
Place all your faith
Into these hands
I got nothing to say
But let's stay friends forever
forever
Here i stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings
Here i stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings
Here i stand and face the rain
Knowing nothing's gonna be the same
again
Ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa
Ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa
Here i stand and face the rain
Knowing nothing's gonna be the same
again

Holyground

Take your pride
and lift it high
I've come to say goodbye

You've got your live
And I've got mine
Sometimes hard to draw that line

I like to walk
And my way is my own
You taught me how
Don't you know

And there must be
some place to meet
I take off my shoes
I'll walk bare-foot when I do

Standing there in front of you
I want to be honest
I want to be true

I like to walk
And my way is my own
You taught me how
Don't you know what we found

Brother maybe

We're on holy ground
Take your pride
and lift it high

I must leave without you
Good advice I grow stronger
Where the mountains rise

Standing there in front of you
I want to honest
I want to be true

In front of you

How Sweet It Was

Uh …. Yeah, that's alright
Lend us a voice
In this howling night

Just about a month ago
You made a promise, babe
Not to go
Yes, you did now
You were the heart and soul

One to the nightfall
One to the stars
One to the haunted fools we are
One to remember
One to recall
One to acknowledge
Just how sweet it was, yeah

Just about a month ago
You made a promise, babe
Ain't that so

Yes, you did now
Into this howling night

You got
You got
You got
You got me so
You got me so low

I wouldn't lie, babe
Not again
It's such a crime
To while away my time

One to remember
One to recall
One to acknowledge
Just how sweet it was
We were so happy
We were okay
We let our good things, honey
Just slip away

Lend us a voice
In this howling night

Hunting High And Low

Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She sounds asleep and she's sweeter now
Than the wildest dream could have seen her
And I watch her slipping away
Though I know

I'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths
I'll go to hunting high and low
High
There's no end to lengths I'll go

To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart next to mine
She's the sweetest love I could find
So I guess

I'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths
I'll go to high and Low
High
Do you know what it means to love you?

I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me she's got to go away
I'll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for you
Watch me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low

High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and low

Hurry Home

Hurry home
Freight train running
I've been gone
Too long, honey
Why did I waste away
the only good thing left to save me
Hurry home
Freight train running

She's alone
Got no money
(She's alone ... she got no money
I'm coming home, I've done my running)
I'm coming home
No more running
Why now should I deny
the only true thing left inside me
Hurry home
No more running

I'm doing right
For once in my life
(He's doing right!)
No more running...

(Rolling countries ... fields unfolding
I swear the winds are calling)

So I hurry home
No more running
She's all alone
Got no money
(She's alone ... she got no money
I'm coming home, I've done my running)
Why should I go and hide
The only true thing left inside me
Hurry home
Freight train running

I Call Your Name

We got married on a cold mid-winter's morning
We said our lines
Then kissed
And it was over

Those pronouncements had such weight
I guess they made us hesitate
Hesitate

When she moved her hips
And swayed in my direction
I thought we could make it yet
And beat the isolation

But in that gentle dark
Man, we tore ourselves apart

Through the fire and rain
Through the wilderness and pain
Through the losses, through the gains
On love's roller coaster train
I call your name

Oh God ... we used to laugh
Is the fire dying, babe
It hurts to ask

Let my hold you for a while

I Dream Myself alive

Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
But you can't deny
There's something dark
Against the light
All i can say
It doesn't have to be this way
We'll be chasing our tails madly
See days pass like wildfire
Right from the start
I knew this world would break my heart
I dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
Break my heart
And dream my self alive
What can it mean
I'm drawing pictures of the sea
Right from the start
I knew this girl would break my heart
Dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive

I Just Died In Your arms

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts, they're all around me
And I don't see an easier way, to get out of this
Her diary sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradle
Who would have thought that a boy like me could come to this

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been some kind of kiss
I should have walked away
I should have walked away

Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy, one too many times

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been some kind of kiss
I should have walked away
I should have walked away

It was a long hot night, she made it easy
She made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment has gone
I followed my hands to my head, I know I was wrong

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been some kind of kiss
I should have walked away
I should have walked away

I Will Follow Him

Follow him wherever he may go
And near him I always will be

Forever (3X)
There isn't an ocean too deep (oh oh oh)
Or mountain so high it can keep (nothing can keep me)
Keep us away
Away from his love

I Wish I Cared

To hold me closer or set me free
To trust completely or let it be
You don't know my destiny
You can't see what I can see

Hey - I wish I cared
Hey - I wish I cared

To love me truly or let me go
In-between I don't wanna know
This is how it has to be
No more us and no more we

Hey - I wish I cared
Hey - I wish I cared

Once again, on the station
See your face in a crowd
Comes again the sensation
You can't hear yourself think
With their voices inside your head

Hey - I wish I cared
Hey - I wish I cared
I wish I cared
Yes I really do
I wish I cared
(Hey) I wish I cared
Yes I really do
I wish I cared
(Hey) I wish I cared
I wish I cared

I Won't Forget Her

I won't forget her
She was once my love

When I hold you in my arms
Oh yeah
You know I'll let you come to no harm
Oh yeah

But if one day
Much like today
You stop and wonder what I'd prefer
Well, you know I won't forget her

I won't forget her
She was once my love

Did you see it in my eyes
Oh yeah
Did it make you realise
Oh yeah

That one day
Much like today
My mind would wonder
If she's still there

Cause you know I won't forget her

I won't forget her
She was once my love

When I hold you in my arms
Oh yeah
She was once my love

I won't forget her
She was once my love

I've Been Losing You

It wasn't the rain that washed away
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized

It wasn't the rain that made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly, almost slowly
Plain for all to see

CHORUS:
Oh, come on
Please, now talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man I thought no one could break

It wasn't the rain that made no difference
Nervously drumming on run away
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me, preying on my mind

CHORUS:
Oh, come on
Please, now talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

Inwendig Warm

Inwendig warm

Renn ned schon wieder vorbei,

Das Lebn is zwar hart,
aber manchmal kriagn mas scho rum.
Die Welt mauerns zua,
und scho wachsen die Wänd zwischn uns.
Kriag ned a no a stuanans Herz,
und erfüll uns an Wunsch!

Laß die foin in irgendan Arm,
und moch dÀrm auf wenn irgend wer foid.
So halt ma uns inwendig warm,
denn da draußen, da is oft so koid.

Die Engerl tragn Schwarz,
und der Herrgott resigniert,
boid is uns das Türl zum Himml
verbarrikadiert.
Die Bleamen,
die Viecherl,
die rucka schon ganz eng zamm,
nur mir wolln a jeder für sich
sei Seeligkeit hobn.

Laß die foin in irgendan Arm,
und moch dÀrm auf wenn irgendwer foid.
So halt ma uns inwendig warm,
denn da draußn, da is oft so koid

Keeper Of The Flame

Give it up for rock'n roll
Give it up for rock
Give it up for how it made you feel

Give it up for vinyl days
Kicking back from school
Turning out to make it real sweet

Give it up for rock'nroll
Give it up for bob
Give it up for how it made you see

Give it up for silvertone
Give it up for golden
Adolescent daydreams

Incidental incidents
Instrumental instruments
A plan evolves too grand to entertain

Monumental monuments
Sentimental sentiments
You could've been the keeper of the flame

Incidental incidents
Instrumental instruments
Swallowed by the place from which you came

Monumental monuments
Sentimental sentiments
You should've been the keeper of the flame

Give it up for summer days
Laying in the grass
Everything is happening in your head
You raise your fist up in the air
Clench your teeth and say
Four more years and I'm outa here

Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Four more years and I am outa here!

Lamb to The Slaughter

I went down to the water
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Didn't know
What was waiting for me there
Nobody warned me
Nobody told me
My excuse is I wasn't prepared

I drank deep from the river
And sealed up my fate
I should have seen the trap, baby
Before it was too late

We go down
We go down
We go down, it's the only way out

Who is this fool
Who believed all the stories
I wish I could say
It's not me
You polluted my head
With all the things you said
I became what you wanted to see

All of these years
I've built up this hate
I had my chance coming
But now it's too late

We go down
We go down
We go down, its the only way out

Less Than Pure

We're going to go downtown
I hear this great new place has opened up
And when we get there
I don't know It's taken ages
Don't you know

How long how long
Will this go on
How long how long
Time drags on
How long I find I
can't go on much longer now

But the place in question's hard to find
Not a cab ride to the door
As you wonder in your doubtful mind
Is it really worth all that and more

We seem to be a little lost or something
I'm not really sure about the choice we're making
The toil it's taking on

How long how long
Will this go on
How long how long
The time drags on
How long
I find I can't go on much longer now

But the place in question's hard to find
Like an illness with no cure
And our heads are getting wearier
And our hearts are less than pure
Less than pure

How long I find
I can't go on much longer now

And the place in question's hard to find
Not a cab ride to the door
And our heads are getting wearier
And our hearts are less than pure

Lie Down on Darkness

With all our goals and destinations...
Everything must be this way
Vague are hopes
That try our patience
Listen now to what I say

Oh, lie down in darkness
I want you next to me
Oh, lie down in darkness
Here with me

All our trials and tribulations...
Will it ever make much sense
All these years
They disappear
They leave me here
Without defense

Oh, lie down in darkness
I want you next to me
Oh, lie down in darkness
Here with me

Lifelines

One time to know that it's real
One time to know how it feels
that's all
One call
Your voice on the phone
One place
a moment alone
that's all
What do you see, what do you know?
One sign: what do I do?
Just follow your lifeline through
What if it hurts, what then?
What do we do, What do you say?
Don't throw your lifelines away

One time
just once in my life
yeah One time
to know it can happen twice
One shot
of a clear blue sky
one look
I see no reasons why we can't
One chance
to go back to the point
where everything starts
one chance
to keep it together when
things fall apart
Just one sign
to make us believe it's true
What do you see,
Where do we go?
One sign: how do we grow?
by letting your lifelines show
What if we do, what now?
What do you say?
how do i know?
Don't let your lifeline go

Little Black Heart

I never saw sunlight
Burn as bright
I never felt darkness
The way I feel it tonight

You say it's getting better
You say it's allright

But I never felt darkness
Like I feel it tonight
Little black heart

Raindrops on my window
I can't tell them apart
Like the few things forgiven
In my little black heart

You say it's getting better
We just never got it right

But I never felt darkness
The way I feel it tonight
Little black heart

Some day we will shine
Like the moon in the morning
Like the sun when it's dawning
Yes the sun when it's dawning
The sun

Some day we will shine
Like the moon in the morning
Like the sun when it's dawning
Yes the sun when it's dawning
The sun

Raindrops on my window
I can't tell them apart
Like a few things forgotten
And a few things ignored

You say it's getting better
You say it's allright

But I never felt darkness
The way I feel it tonight
Little black heart

My little black heart

Living A Boy's Adventure Tale

I've fixed my dwelling for the night
Lights in pairs come passing by where I hide
I need some time now on my own
Leave my loneliness alone
To lick my wounds
Night has found me just in time to help me close my eyes one moretime
Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways
Living a boy's adventure tale
For so many days
I'm living a boy's adventure tale
Can't escape, if I wanted to
Living a boy's adventure tale
I may be dreaming but I feel awake

I've been lost in so many places
Seeked love in so many faces
A change of weather, the rain pours down
My head in hands, pressed to the ground
And where am I supposed to go now

Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways
Living a boy's adventure tale (aah)
Living a boy's adventure tale
a voice I hear Living a boy's adventure tale
Singing a lullaby for me
Living a boy's adventure tale
Because of you
Living a boy's adventure
Oh you know it's true
Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways (aah)
For so many days

I love you.
I love you
So many ways

Locust

Don't be afaid
It's a harmless moon
All we can do
Is to assume

Our lives must change
A change is due
I hear you say
What are we gonna do

I don't know - make it
I don't know - shake it
I don't know - break it down
What are we wanna do
I don't know - make it
I don't know - shake it
I don't know - break it down

O' weeping night
O' grieving sky
O' rabbit wind
You just flew by

Grant me this
Some small reward
Don't announce
The time of the final call

My dream was this:
Across the sky
A slate-grey cloud
That filled the eye
...a slate-grey cloud...
Comes through the dust –
Locust

Dont' be afraid
It's a harmless moon…

Love Is Reason

My breath was coming fast
And as i make a start
You turn to go
oh, oh
I'll do what you want me to
I'll cry at the thought of the loss of a heart
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason enough
My morals are changing fast
I told you it wouldn't last
You turn and go
oh, oh
I'll be what you want me to be
I'd die at the thought of the loss of your heart
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason enough

Make It Soon

I watch my love she's sleeping
The air around her deepened
Tomorrow she will smile again
Tomorrow she'll get wild again

My love
And the moon
Take your time
Make it soon

I didn't mean to hurt you
It's what I use the words to
Every time we loose our way
Get so many things to say

My love
And the moon
Take your time
Make it soon

I see you and I hear you call
But sometimes when I lost it all
I go out of my mind
To see what I can find
I can find

I watch my love she's sleeping
The air around her deepened
Tomorrow she will smile again
Tomorrow she'll get wild again

My love

Manhattan Skyline

We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say
My boat's leaving now
So we shake hands and cry
Now I must wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

You know I don't want to cry again
I don't want to cry again
Don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to cry again
I don't want to run away
Don't want to race this pain
I'll never see your face again

Oh but how, how can you say that I didn't try
You see things in the depths of my eyes
That my love's run dry, no
We leave to their goodbyes
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain bring back words of a song
And they say wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

But you know I don't want to fall again
Don't want to know this pain
Don't want another friend
Don't want to try again
Don't want to see you hurt
Don't let me see you hurt
I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again

How can you say that I didn't try
You know I did
You see things in the depths of my eyes
that my loves run dry

I don't want to try again

So I read to myself
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
On the front page a black and white picture of
Manhattan Skyline

Mary Ellen Makes The Moment Count

Mary cries out: "for the love of God"
As she's walking out of the laundromat
Down the street and it's the short way home
Feeling special cause she's so alone

But we know:
(The world's full of lonely people)
And it shows
(The world's full of lonely people)

She shrugs her coat off and unlocks the door
Eats her dinner on the kitchen floor
Writes a poem and turns the radio on
Every singer sings the same old song

And it goes:
(The world's full of lonely people)
And it shows
(The world's full of lonely people)

But when we she wanted me to go
She just had to let it show
To bring me down if she wanted me to leave
She just wore it on her sleeve
But at least, I was around

But when we she wanted me to go
She just had to let it show
To bring me down if she wanted me to leave
She just wore it on her sleeve
At least, I was around

Mary Ellen makes the moment count
As she's looking through old photographs
Pictures taken from an early age
Faces look back at her from the page
And they say

(The world's full of lonely people)
It's ok
(The world's full of lonely people)
It's ok
(The world's full of lonely people)

But when we she wanted me to go
She just had to let it show
To bring me down if she wanted me to leave
She just wore it on her sleeve
But at least, I was around
I was around
I was around
I was around

Mary Ellen makes the moment count

Maybe Maybe

Maybe you were joking
When you said that you were
walking out on me
Maybe, maybe

Maybe I was joking
When I said that I was running out on you
Maybe, maybe

I could be wrong, so wrong
I could be wrong, so wrong
I could be wrong

I don't know, but it's been said
Decisions travel far from heart to head
Maybe, maybe

Maybe it was over
When you chucked me out the
Rover at full speed
Maybe, maybe oh baby

I could be wrong, so wrong
I could be wrong, so wrong
I could be wrong, so wrong

Memorial Beach

I pace the length of my unmade room
In times of change
My bags are packed, guess I'm leaving
the womb
Into the rain

We never found
A place to hide
Some peace of mind
God knows we tried

Toes in the sand, the seductive sway
Ooh...nothing better, babe
Across the bay--Sarasota Way
We held together

We never found
A place to hide
Some peace of mind
God knows we tried, yeah

Into the rainÂ…
The summer rainÂ…

So we walk down to Memorial Beach
Where things began
Honey days and nights without sleep
Lost in the sand

We never found
A place to hide
Some peace of mind
God knows we tried, yeah

We never found
A place to hide
Some peace of mind
God knows we tried, yeah

So we walk down to Memorial

Minor Earth Major Sky

I can`t see me in this empty place
Just another lonely face
I can`t see me here in outer space
It`s so hard to leave a trace

And I try and I try and I try
But it never comes out right
Yes I try and I try and I try
But I never get it right

It`s a
Minor earth major sky
Minor earth major sky

I can`t see me in the endless town
Not a friendly face around
Can you hear me when I speak out loud
Hear my voice above the crowd

And I try and I try and I try
But it never comes out right
Yes I try and I try and I try
But I never get it right

It`s a
Minor earth major sky
Minor earth major sky
Minor earth major sky
Minor earth major sky

And I try and I try and I try
But it never comes out right
Yes I try and I try and I try
But I never get it right

It`s a
Minor earth major sky
Minor earth major sky
Minor earth major sky
Minor earth major sky

Minor Key Sonata

Come back my darling one
I'm calling on ya...
The road ahead is long
and I must warn ya

Take hold my little one
My minor key sonata
Show forth your looping grace
No one here could take your place

We'll find a way
to make it pay
to get around it

Come back my fallen sun
dont let 'em fool ya...
'cause when the day is done
they never moved ya

Lay down your sense of pride
Trampled once too often
Put out your mournful tones
No one here could take your place

We'll find a way
to do OK
to get around it

Come back my analogue
I hardly knew ya
The high end sloping off
a thing of beauty

Take hold my little ones
My minor key sonatas
Show forth your looping grace
No one here could take your place

We'll find a way
we'll make it pay
to do without it
say you'll find a way
to make it pay
to get around it

Show just what you know
Just let it go
to get around it
