You left your black gloves on my table
You left your dying horse in the stable
Thinking of a way to get you to stay
And up I was to fight the wind and waves for you
I?m an owl with giant eyes
I?m the scarecrow in the skies
The ultimate goal out facing the north
I wanted to stay inside and look down below with you
You never said then when I was in your arms
That was the moment that you lost your charm
[Incomprehensible]
And the trees, they never grew any leaves
Shake my arms, shake my head
I fell asleep when you got well
And I?m turning for the lights tonight

In winter's eyes, you are mine
Red eyes tell you dead lies
And meet me again
I follow you, with my eyes closed
I might find a way
What will be, we will be
I go, I go, I go with you
We fall down, start over new
I look, I look into your eyes
Come tumbling down, spirit on fire
And everything changes
You know as well as I
So let the years pass slowly by
Don't spend until another life finds you
The way I do
I follow you with my eyes closed
Shine a light where it's warm
Take you home, you have nothing
Pick your dreams from the stream
I follow you with my eyes closed
Dream when you can't sleep
Everything changes you know as well as I
So let the years pass slowly by
Every time you close your eyes
Fall down you and I
I go, I go, I go with you
We fell down, start over new
I follow you with my eyes closed
We will see when you can't swim
I know winter will never look at you
The way I do
And everything changes
You know as well as I
So let the years pass slowly by
In winter's eyes, you are mine
Red eyes tell you dead lies

I went looking for a ghost in me.
Now I can see, now we can see,
where we are finally I can sing hard.
Touch your face with the length of your palm.
I'll build you a fire
I'll build you a fire if you sing in the night falling
down.
I'll build you a fire
I went looking for a ghost in me.
Now I can see, now I can see in dreams.
I'll build you a fire.
I'll build you a fire if you sing in the night getting
high(?)
I'll build you a fire.
They when looking for a stone in me.
Pull it out of my skin, till I see.
Where I should be, how I should feel.
So I'll build you a fire
I'll build you a fire if you sing in the night you'll be
all right.

Do you remember
What things looked like when you were young?
The voice of an old friend
Or the notes to your first song
It's been a while now
Since you asked me to be
Your cat, your dog
Your owl or bumblebee
Lately I've been feeling
Like the day?s gonna come
You'll walk up to me
And erase my memory
Can't wait to feel brand new
I can?t wait to meet you again, friend
I think I must have known you
In another life
I think our rocking chairs
Used to rock together all night
With pictures of owls
All over the walls
Tiny ships in bottles

When the birds are sleeping
That's when the trees sing
You left your winter clothes
And your teeth marks in my skin
So shake the leaves off the trees
Watch them float down the stream
Your son, your daughter
Swimming in the water
I miss you
Even when you're around
A black cloud
Sending lightning to the ground
Darling, please show your teeth
Just one more dance to help me sleep
[Incomprehensible] cold water eyes
Fill the past with friendly nights
Human skin can be hard to live in
You'll feel better in the morning
Wash your hands in the lake
You've got a heart just [Incomprehensible]
Trails lost in the snow
Make way for winter's eerie glow
And that black rock in your bedroom
I hope you'll climb it soon
In your boat tied to a tree
I hope you'll find the sea
Throw me a dream please
It's been a dreamless sleep
For such a long time
Such a long time
Sing myself awake
Watch the branches break
No one could
Ever take your place
Wash your face in the lake

Sunday promises
I cannot wait till eight
and black is black
and white is white
you can't escape your troubled mind
she is climbing in the sea
she is swimming in the trees
and everyday is just the last time that I see you
and darling, I need a place to stay
does your pocket have any space?
send me into bed and under the sheets
and I heard somewhere that our lips want to meet
and I'll make you a coat out of rain
I made it with the hell in my veins
the words that I should have said
go in the back of my head
you can leave if you want
just leave your little hands with me
you don't need it and I don't want it
I don't need it and you don't want it

We spread our blankets over the lake
I [Incomprehensible]
I tried to leave but he held my arms
And head in the lake
So I grab on hold to the spider's neck
And ride out of town
?Cause I'm sick and the days are long
I tried and I tried
To squeeze the blue out of the sky
The yellow out of the sun
In that big invisible moment
The kid on my shoulders
With the time we'll make it into sand
Agreed, he took in your hand
Like a rabbit in a human skin coat
He'll dance on the yard
Like a wolf flipping goodbye notes
You'll howl at the sky
So show your cat teeth to the light

The fire died down
Carried it there into the house
Unclose your eyes
Let it all glow
One day this body will break,
One day these hands will shake.
I'm watching the grass glow
Shining through the dead leaves
Arched back and slow
Your plow in the snow
So let it all glow,
While the fire dies down.
Your clothes they have grown since I saw you last.
Summer makes us all into a soft knife in your hands.
Twist it into my skin
Wire to our cells?
One day our body will break,
One day our hands will shake.
Summer lightening spit me out
Onto the wet grass
Climb onto its back
Your smile, broken glass
Cold hands following down
No one's left warm
So let it all glow,
While the fire dies down.
Fire dies down
build a home in the ground
Let light in through the holes in the ceiling
Something to believe in
Let it all glow
Your name on fire and snow
One day our bodies will break,

I never knew that a song
Could last this long
We can hide the time
and take a ride with the wind
Let it blow us home
Where we feel less alone
Sleep will come (to mess you up)
Sleep will come (to mess you)
Sleep will
Sleep will come (to mess you up)
Sleep will
Sleep will come (to mess you)
Sleep will
Sleep will come
Sleep will
Sleep will
Take your walking shoes
We'll fill the floor to the grooves
I hung my hopes on you
What a stupid thing to do
In the medow where crow drowned
We're reciving some hell before dawn
I pass the train to you
and tell you how much I care
And she was dressed just like a river
And she was dressed just like a river
Sleep will come (to mess you up)
Sleep will
Sleep will come (to mess you)
Sleep will
Sleep will come

Your teeth too big for your mouth.
Every summer we'd pull the stinger out.
Drinking like our parents did.
Drunk at the dance, I knew you hid.
Picture of here eyes under your skin.
She wasn't old enough to let love in.
I can see your eyes turn blue.
I can see the weather changing you.
Cold summers, one after the other.
Got old fast, grew tired of each other.
sleepless child.
Followed her
It's getting harder to find it in me.
Bite my lip, fall asleep.
Your mouth, your mouth(?) and me
Falling down
Filling, filling the empty.
She could sing to shipmen
I lay my eyes on you
down where we get lost
find your mouth and winter skin.
It's getting harder to find it in me.
- fall asleep.
Your mouth, your mouth(/) and me.
Falling down

Half remembered
Drunken nights
The sun stayed up like
A diamond in the sky
I woke up
Where have you been?
I know I'm bored
And my blood is pretty thin
But some nights I swear
There was magic in the air
A fox invites me to part from loneliness
Wolves seem to pick a scent of an owl in my head
Your head's in headlock
You in trouble again?
Now you've lost
Another friend
You felt something
But you're never feeling loved
When that?ll bring men

I don't need this body
Or this house anymore
I've fallen down
I'm snowed in
All is cold
All is dry
You can keep my body in your house
To stop the blood from pouring out
While I was away
You let your hair grow long
I'm peeling in
And I can't sing
Without you
In my blood
You can keep my spirit in your house
To stop the blood from crying out
I don't need these hands
Or this head anymore
I fell down
I'm snowed in
All is cold
All is dry
You can keep my body in your house
To stop the blood from pouring out
You can keep my spirit in your house

Your clothes always bought them too big.
"One day they'll fit", but they never did.
Splintered and growing, at the same time.
You'll pull me up, when I drag myself down.
Warm blood(?) tied to me
Once they flower(?)
But they dream.
The bird that woke you,
is falling asleep.
The grass under your knees,
once soft now moulding(?).
So kiss those crooked, crooked teeth.
I know you wanna leave.
Just float those bad thoughts away from me.
Swim back where -
You get it from your fathers side.
When the dreams wont come.(?)
Always part of me, telling me to go,
when i know i should stay.
Just float those hands away.
So kiss those crooked, crooked teeth.
I know you wanna leave.

When the fly in the pond sung
Watching the sun go down
We painted flames in the signs
I know it?s a bore, oh
To melt the ice and the snow
But we can't row, row it, row, row it
We'll have to wait until summer
Comes and wakes up
Then we can pray to the moon

With a softship, didn't know where I was going
We'll always find a way,
Let you know my blood is flowing
You see right through her heart
To keep from showing
When my heart is glowing
It kept us awake all night
Hoping that one day we might, sing together
And I rose up
With the waves in the water
And I rose
With the waves in the water
I tore up the forest
Didn't fear anything at all
I'll always find a way
Take you apart, put you back together
Put my name into her eyes
To keep from falling
Out of the stars
And I rose up
With the waves in the water
And I rose

You fall asleep on the phone.
Cause the spiders won't leave you alone.
Now there's gravel in my head
Birds sleep in my bed.
I know I'm dressed like a child,
But you're all dressed like death.
And there's a river that flows
Right through my home.
It's full of keys and toys
That you forgot you had.
Walking away is easy, it's staying that's so hard.

You know, you and I
We used to be strangers
But now we are just strange
And I'll fall asleep on your floor
I'll wake up outside of your door
And I'll put you in a stone
Made out of wood
Because I can see
You're up to no good
Yeah I can see
You're down to your stack
And it's warm enough to be cold
And we're young enough to be old
You're not strange enough

We got married while you were asleep
Carved our names out with your wooden teeth
And in the night time we’ll act like thieves
I tried my best to wash the (bed of leaves?)
So count the leaves in the yard
One for each year that I’ve been away
We got married while you were asleep
Carved out names out in our old oak tree
You never wanted me to be all that I could be
She heard me singing and ran away with me
So count the leaves
in the oak tree
One for each day
That I’ve been away
Been away
?????
?????
You got married while I was asleep
?????
but it didn't cut too deep
Now I don’t care where you’ve been
I just hope I never
See you again
I will come home if you just ask me

So many things at the same time.
Make me feel like, nothing at all.
If i dont stop it wont catch up to me
Always going somewhere never get there.
Pick your clothes of the dead trees
We can see what you see
Wolfboy - it's better through closed, eyes.
you let your hair grow long and your heart go cold(?)
- snow
I knew you a thoasand years ago
Wolfboy - better through closed, eyes.
you let your hair grow long and your heart go cold(?)
I need some -in my sleep
and -
Wolfboy - see through your eyes
I would - out of your -
- snow
I knew you a thoasand years ago
Wolfboy - better through closed, eyes.

Morning dreams you and me.
riddle sticks and skin
crooked teeth the autumn leaves
my heart just caved in.
We fell off the roof, I never closed my eyes for you.
Throw your knives up into the golden? air
crooked teeth the spider -
broken I don't care
we slept for days in that same place
put on our hands, and nothing says.(?)
Bandages made of old clothes, crutches from old bones
wash the blood off in the sea
follow the light home.
We fell off the roof, I never closed my eyes for you.
Morning dreams you and me.
riddle sticks and skin
crooked teeth the autumn leaves
my heart just caved in.

Roaming softly through yourself
You watched the words change for someone else
From an echo in a seashell
A drunken thought or a long farewell
And then tonight I'll dive into your eyes
Will we feel like this for the rest of our lives?
Just stay put, tied to a stone
Do I really want this stone to be thrown?
We heard the sea, black and deep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
So shake the leaves off this tree
And in the dark blue light
I watched the bottle sail into the night
Can't meet you home, shaking like a leaf
You couldn't swim even though you live by the sea
A flock of owls know your name
Will you promise me to stay the same?
I leaned my hands in your cold sand
I looked up and saw all the sunlight up again
Right after night I'll follow you home
Right after light I'll follow your footsteps on the snow
We heard the sea, black and deep
We heard the sea, black and deep
We heard the sea, black and deep
We heard the sea, black and deep
We heard the sea, black and deep
We heard the sea, black and deep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep
Everything I give is everything that I keep

I saw the lion on the elephant?s back
I heard your name in a book, saw your face in a map
And now I hear your name everywhere I go
But I?m the quiet wall, a quiet bed making blankets for the dead
How do you make up with a ghost
Who stopped the blood running from your nose?
The snow?s falling all down on the [Incomprehensible]
I thought that snow was here but what do I know?
The taste of your lips, the lead in your eyelids
The sea under the boat, my hands and your rain pours
And I choose to rock and forget the sailors blues today

Robin Sparrow
Know you're the only one
Who can make me sing
And if our hands should
Meet again
Let them
Too much is what you talk
Time might take a flight
and lock the door
'Cause I'm not passing it here on your radio
and there's a train coming forward
We'll know when to listen
Oh Robin Sparrow
Know you're the only one

It?s hard to wake up
When you?re not sleeping
It?s hard to make it mean something
When it means nothing at all
Hear a call he made
I slept for a year until
I pulled your hair
I fell down the stairs
So glad I found you there
Time to forget
Your mistakes and regrets
Sometimes I swore
You?re in my house
Was a trap too
And I had black nights
When my hope had died
You, you?re a friendly knife
So I let the werewolf out
I let the [Incomprehensible] have their way
I?ve looked down on you
From my mountain, I slept by your feet
And when you come out
With your strong winter moon to drown in sound
And I?ll sleep nor lie
When your happy tide twist ashore on the frozen ground
It?s your hollow now so many would dream about
Some nights I swear

Sneaking and curling into the valley
Broken bones in a smile
His rusting hands in a mine
Swimming through the valley
To drink up all my stones
You're my only chipmunk
Don't look like the sun
Let's find some place good
Some place out there

I love the way
You say my name
It sounds different every day
I used to think
That I'd seen you walk way
Too many times
Now I know
You're here to stay
Now it's you and me who walk away
I love the way
You say my name
It sounds different every day
You're not home
Always liked being alone

They hate us and we hate them
Trying to find my way again
Cut a hole in the night
You can’t live in a burnt down house
Afraid of being found out
Burn the hair off your face
??? watch from a ???
You couldn’t see what you didn’t know
A lion in his name
Behind fake bars at the age of four
The fear in their eyes
It’s what they, what they paid for
Lion face boy
Don’t you waste your time?
Searching for a home
Sleep on the floor everyday,
wake at night as more frightened eyes,
chase away sleep.
Tomorrow another place
But the same day
?????
Lion face boy
Don’t you waste your time

Fall down the stairs
It's been a long time since
I got my hands on your teenage poems
It's the only poison that I like
I'm throwing rocks
At broken windows
Picking locks
With footprints from the snow
And I don't believe you live in a library
That sails the sea
Sleeping with a book-blanket out at sea
Like you told me
My little bird
Flew away from me
She made her home
In a poor country
You're breaking branches
On your way down
Just someone new
To throw your arms around
The next time I wake up
I want to be
In a rabbit hole
To the sound of you making coffee
With the warm
Salty sea
It?s waves
Crashing over me
Look what you've done
You punched a hole in the sun
Look what you've done
You punched a hole in the sun
Look what you've done
You punched a hole in the sun
And now it won't shine

Saw you had a nosebleed, darling.
dancing along the (rows?? road?)
Took your pale hand and shake it.
But you said you'd never dance alone.
I followed you over the forest floor
So we get married one day
Took your pale hand and shake it. (?)
But the -
Put on your leafmask and let the night die.
You'd rather climb trees than sing with me.
Put on your leafmask and let the light out.
Let the day bleed through your nose.
Took your pale hand and shake it.

Just when I wake up and baby you call
You're driving my mind up the side of a wall
I'm giving you my best now I'm begging you please
I'm not in the mood to see you on your knees
Sayin' you won't run on the street again
Sayin' you will come back runnin' back again
Saying you won't buy on the street again
Sayin' you will come runnin' back again
But you better not call me
You'd better not cry
You'd better not wake me up in the morning
Just a tellin' me lies
No you had better not call
I used to call her
Call!
I used to call her
Just when I'm knocked out, and baby you call
I look in your eyes and you're not there at all
Sayin' you won't run on the street again
Sayin' you will come back runnin' back again
Saying you won't buy on the street again
Sayin' you will come runnin' back again
But you had better not call me
You'd better not cry
You'd better not wake me up in the morning
Just a tellin' me lies
No you better not call me
You'd better not cry
You'd better not wake me up in the morning
Just a tellin' me lies
No you had better not call
I used to call her
Call!
I used to call her
Sayin' you won't run on the street again
Sayin' you will come back runnin' back again
But you better not call me
You'd better not cry
You'd better not wake me up in the morning
Just a tellin' me lies
But you better not call me
You'd better not cry
You'd better not wake me up in the morning
Just a tellin' me lies
No you had better not call
I used to call her
Call!

You rest your mind
Flying to the home that you knew
You made you past
Trying to get home in as few but
All the time
Your mind is just aching for
All the time
You can't stop but faking it
All the time
Your mind is just breaking your heart
You rest you heart
Oh, listen to me
You can be 'bout, anywhere
You can take you mind anyplace because
Your mind's open, the rest is up to you
You can dream 'bout any dream
You can take safaris right up into the sky's open,
the rest is up to you
You can do it
You can dream it all
Sing it in your heart
Don't have to be lonely
You can do it
You can feel it all
Breakin' in your heart
Don't have to be lonely
You can do it
You can leave it all
Make another start
You can be 'bout, anywhere
You can take you mind anyplace because
Your mind's open, the rest is up to you
You can dream 'bout any dream
You can take safaris right up into the sky's open,
the rest is up to you
Might wind up just anywhere
Might wind up just anywhere

Don't' do anything I wouldn't do
Pass me anyway, like I'm a fool for you
Passionate anyway
Walkin' out the back door
Used to be alive until just now
It's just becoming unreal
You're only losing your heart
It's nothing critical
You wont believe it till it starts
You're only losing your heart
It's not unusual
It's only tearing you apart
Don't' do anything I wouldn't do
Pass me anyway, lie like a fool
Laugh at me anyway
Walkin' out the back door
Used to be alive until just now
It's just becoming unreal
You're only losing your heart
It's nothing critical
You wont believe it till it starts
You're only losing your heart
It's not unusual
It's only tearing you apart
Oh, how can I be
So far away
Without a reason?
Should I know
How not to lose?
How can I not
Follow you anywhere?
But I'm lost
Take me away!
Takin' all my time, make me a choice
Passionate anyway
Walkin' out the back door
Used to be alive until just now
It's just becoming unreal
You're only losing your heart
It's nothing critical
You wont believe it till it starts
You're only losing your heart
You can't believe it to be
The thing that's tearing you apart
You're only losing your heart
It's nothing visual
You won't believe it till it starts
You're only losing your heart
The thing you're dreamin' of is
The thing that's tearing you apart

Why am I here all alone
I'm gettin' growing pains
And I'm feeling so old
I'm gettin' tired,
Walkin' in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Now life has taken its toll
And now my sanity's gettin' harder to hold
I'm kinda tired
Walkin' in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Now don't take advice from a stranger
You can't live your life by what others do
We're all here alive for a reason
You'll never know
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
How can I make it alone?
It's such a crazy world,
And I'm feelin' so stoned
I'm kinda tired
Walkin' in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Just sleepin' in the sand
You can't see the light from an angel
You can't add the price of what others do
We're all here alive for a reason
You'll never know
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means

Time can never lose the game
Will never lose
Time can never feel the pain
Will never feel
There's a wheel that turns our fortunes
There's a light to lead the way
It's holding back tomorrow
From a destiny today
I used to be so lonely
Never thought that I could find the time
Never thought that I could give it up
Ahhh
It's back to
Here today
But never leave
Do what you want
Here today
Don't ever leave
It's what you want
It's here today
But never leave
Do what you want
Here today
But never leave
Time, can never lose the game
Will never lose
Time, can never feel the pain
Will never feel
From a love that's going nowhere
To a heart that feels the pain
It's holding back the forces
Of a destiny distained in vain
I used to be so lonely
Never thought that I could find the time
Never thought that I could give it up
Ahhh
It's back to
Here today
But never leave
Do what you want
Here today
Don't ever leave
It's what you want
It's here today
But never leave
Say what you will
You can't shout it up and crowd it up
and shout it on down
Look around, look around
It's what you want
It's here today
But never leave
Do what you want
Here today
Don't ever leave
It's what you want
It's here today
But never leave
Do what you want
It's here today
Don't ever leave me
When you call me up
In the evening
And we're standing there in time
You can feel the wind,
Touch the stars
Leave our cares behind

I won't be the fool in my life
I won't change the rules in my life
In all your silence
I knew it all along
You haven't got the sense to know
what's right from what is wrong
And I really haven't got the time to
tell you about the things that are absurd
Chorus:
Don't fear tomorrow
Don't fear tomorrow
I won't play the fool to your knife, to your knife
You can't change the tune in my sight, in my life
With all you science, I knew it all along
You haven't got the nerve to write the words
within this song
And you really haven't got the time to tell
me why you really are
You really haven't got the time to tell me
why you really are
You really haven't got the time to tell me
why you really are
Chorus:
Don't fear tomorrow

Take your fingers from my hair
They have gotten us nowhere
We can't last another second
For we are two, too lost for open doors
Take your memories and your ways
Let me see a brighter day
Greener fields aren't hard to hope for
It's just hard to go on living here without you
Chorus:
Somewhere I have dreamed
That you haven't got the time to be with me
Somewhere though it seems
That you have been making lovin' without me
Starshine, moonshine
you're the light that shines upon me baby
I know, you'll go
find yourself another lover lady
Let me tell you how I feel
Loving others isn't real
You are blind
Too blind to notice
That their love is not the love we share together
Chorus:
Somewhere I have dreamed
That you haven't got the time to be with me
Somewhere though it seems
That you have been making lovin' without me
Starshine, moonshine
your the light that shines upon me baby
I know, you'll go
find yourself another lover lady
Starshine, moonshine
you're the light that shine upon me baby
I know, you'll go

I never made it
I just put it off a while
Just sleepin' at the bottom of a tree with my shoes off
I never faked it
I just do it awful well
Just dreamin' of a time when I can take another day off
Because ooh, well it's got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today
Well it's got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today
I never craved it
I never do it all
I just wake up in the morning by the tree and shake the dew off
I never saved it
I just hung it out a while
I'm not leavin' with the bottom of my feet up in a U-Haul
You know you look so pitiful
Easily critical
You shouldn't be so cynical
All from the pit of your heart
Well it's cruel the way you pass me by
Well it's hard, and it's hard
Well you've got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today
Well it's got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today

You never thought that it could ever end in a day
Thinkin' 'bout our fortune babe
Say it isn't so
You never thought that there were other plans
In the ways of seeking fortune like you never had it
Say it isn't so
It started looking like we'd never win anyway
Thinkin' 'bout our fortune babe
Say it isn't so
I say that someday that you will be mine
There always seems to be another man
In the ways of seeking fortune like we never had it
I pray that you'll change your mind.
Given the time
Think about the life that you made and what you used it for
Ooh, think of it all
Think about that way that you took but never gave at all
Ooh, think of it all
I look at myself
Look at us all
Look at the things we did before
We did it before
We're children at heart
Children at heart
You never stopped to think and never planned
on the day they would be a callin' you
Say it isn't so
You used it up like it would never end
on a day when there was no more time for seeking fortune
Say it isn't so
It started looking like we'd never win anyway
Thinkin' 'bout our fortune babe
Say it isn't so
I say that someday that you will be mine
Within the future lies another plan
in the ways of seeking fortune like we never had it
I pray that you'll change your mind

The time is now or never
The crashing is coming near
The delphi is on the corner
And he whispers in your ear
It used to be men could be solemn even while laughing
And laughter could be heard shore to shore
But no more
Now all you hear is crying
Cause no one's on the phone
Your feet are just now freezing over
You know that you are here all alone
It used to be men could be solemn even while laughing
And laughter could be heard shore to shore
But no more
When I think of friends and places
Things we wanted, hoped we'd be
All that's left is fading traces
Memories of what use to be
Hear their laughter, see their shadows
Feel the darkness, see the light
We had lit all but lost so quickly
We think we won but we lost the fight
But it's all the same to me
I've seen all I want to see
First they laugh at you
Then they cry
Say they'll always be there
Then they die
So alone yet so alive
It used to be men could be solemn even while laughing
And laughter could be heard shore to shore

Well you're walking on the moon
But there's nothing
No there's nothing left to do deep inside
And you can't believe it's real
Got ya thinking boy
(You) may be better off to stay than to slide
Lucky boy!
But now she's falling close to you
And there are things that just cannot last forever
And there is nothing I can say that is possibly kind
But I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
And you think you're on the move
But there's nothing
No there's nothing left to breathe deep inside
And you say it's in the wheels,
God it's stinkin' boy
Well you know that all you said was a lie
Lucky boy!
But now she's falling close to you
And there are things that just cannot last forever
And there is nothing I can say that is possibly kind
But I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
And I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
Yes I'm about to make the time
Oohhhh
I do it
We're gonna do it
Gotta stop and take it slow
You blew it
They're gonna screw it
Gotta stop and steal the show
You count the ways
You stop it!
And you say you're on the move
But there's nothing
No there's nothing left to do deep inside
And you can't believe it's real
Got ya thinkin' boy
Maybe better off to stay than to die
Thinkin' boy
But now she's falling close to you
And there are things that just cannot last forever
And there is nothing I can say that is possibly kind
But I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
And I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
But I'm about to make the time

You wake up in the morning
And you're not feeling quite the same
You feel a gentle hand upon you
But you seem to have forgotten her name
You put on your clothes
You're heading home
You're hoping and praying you
won't be all alone
Chorus:
When you get there
When you get there
You haven't had a chance to think
About explaining where you slept till noon
You can't say you were working all night
Cause it's Sunday afternoon
The truth is too hard
You'll never come back
'Cause a one night stand is not
worth the attack
Chorus:
When you get there
When you get there
You're walking up to our front door
As my face comes into view
You think you've got a pretty good lie
You say you slept at Mary Lou's
You open the door
You start telling lies
But then from the hall
You hear Mary Lou cry
Chorus:
When you get there
When you get there
When you get there

The time is right but don't be critical
The same could happen to you
You know I'm not right and I can't be analytical
About the things you're going through
Look at me baby now you think I might be crazy
But you just can't touch me now
I know I'm not right and I really can't be lazy
and I think I'm going home
Look into my eyes
The high is fine but don't be cynical
The game is still the same
If you're coming up light and you want some retribution
Then believe in what I say
Take a position where there ain't no superstition
And just grab whatever's gold
'Cause if you're coming up light on the day of testimony
They'll just send you packing home
They're gonna do it to ya!
Look into my eyes
Wait for the lies
Wait until the summer's gone
Waiting for the lines to fall
Wait until the summer's gone
Look into my eyes

We sailed away
We walked 2 thousand miles
and then we slipped away
We looked so hard
But couldn't seem to find just what
the world was for
Now we know
Just what the journey's for
Looking out to the stars
Think about what you are
What do they think of you
Animals in their zoo
They haven't got the time
Landing's not on their minds
How do they have the nerve
We're animals in preserve
They watch us all
They're only making sure that we
don't trip and fall
Now they look so hard
But they can't tell us why they're
here and just what for
Because they don't know
Who opened up the door
How can we find out more
Who owns the keyless door
Where does the circle end
Who are the unwatched men
Where do we go from here
Faith is a fading fear
Life is a waiting room
I hope they don't call me soon
How much more do you really
think you know than a flower

I don't know why you keep lying
about your sanity
Always keep on fighting 'til the end
And I can't stop you from shining
up your vanity
Never taking chances to pretend
Chorus:
We get one chance to sip the wine
And life don't come on borrowed time
He just cries with no reply
If we only knew just what it takes
To leave the others making their mistakes
If you care to say that life ain't
worth it anyway
Beze's gonna grab you in the end
If you see a fool in memories that
belie the rule
Always take the chances to pretend
I heard the voices of the people as
they started praying
I heard them singing songs of laughter
as they started saying
Well don't walk away
I heard the voices of the people as
they started praying
I heard them singing songs of laughter
as they started saying
Well I know why you have lied
about your vanity
Always, never fighting till the end
And I can't stop you trying to save
your sanity
Heaven will protect us in the end
Chorus:
We get one chance to sip the wine
And life doesn't come on borrowed time
He just cries with no reply
If we only knew just what it takes

I've been wasting my time
I am losing my mind
My head's on the floor
For evermore
I have given you all
All that I had
But with a slam of the door
You've driven me mad
Now I'm sad
Tell me what you want
You have taken it all
All of my love
Unrelenting you told
You told me a lie
So I can cry
There aren't words for it all
All that I feel
With the palm of your hand
You crushed me for real
Now what's the deal
Tell me what you want
I'm wishing to God you're gonna say you miss me
I'm crossing my fingers that you say you're gonna kiss me
I'm wishing to God you're gonna say you miss me
I've got my fingers crossed you'll kiss me one more time
So I can say I ain't been wasting my time
I am losing my mind
My head's on the floor
For evermore
I have given you all
All that I had
But with the slam of the door
You've driven me mad
Now I'm sad
Tell me what you want
I need you so bad

Well, come on pretty baby won't you walk with me
Come on pretty baby won't you talk with me
Come on pretty baby give me one more chance
Try and save our romance
Slow down
Baby, now you're moving way too fast
You gotta gimme little loving
Gimme little loving
Ow, if you want our love to last
Well I used to walk you home baby after school
Carry your books home, too
But now you got a boyfriend down the street
Baby what're you trying to do
You better slow down
Baby, now you're moving way too fast
You gotta gimme little loving
Gimme little loving
Brrr, if you want our love to last
Well you know that I love you, tell the world I do
Come on pretty baby, why can't you be true?
I need you badly, baby, oh so bad
The best little woman I ever had
Slow down
Baby, now you're moving way too fast
You gotta gimme little loving
Gimme little loving
