Oh darling, the world is harsh
All alone, the lonley get lost.
But, if I know one thing, a good man is hard to find.
The one who knows and shares what you have in mind.
Baby, it's you
I can't live without you.
Baby it's you
Ain't doing this thing without you, no.
Oh traveller,
I'm your direction.
Follow me
and I'll take you there.
Darling, remember should you get weary
I'll share my bread, my shoulder, honey.
Baby, it's you
I can't live without you.
Baby it's you
Ain't doing this thing without you, no.
Know darling
with the love you give me
I've finally become the woman I've always hoped to be.
Oh, baby, want to give it back to you.
Everyday, I wanna hear you say...

Asleep

Everyday I'm asleep
spinning over the moon
but, my eyes are wide.
Everyday I'm alone
but, I like it so.
My time's my own.
So, tie me up in purple
and tell me I'm a fool,
'cause I'm known to run in circles
and I don't play by the rules.
Oh, and if I catch you staring
I'll cut you down your size,
'cause I know I've got green eyes.
Everybody's a stranger.
Everyone knows my soul.
Now and then I'll go.
If this is where I'm headed,
how do I wear my time?
So long are these nights.
So, tie me up in purple
and tell me I'm alright,
'cause I never was for certain
what I wanted from this life.
Oh, all the days and evenings
they are bleeding into one!
And I know, I got to run.
Let me lie in purple
and know that it's my choice.
All that's left of these moments
are collected in my voice.
No, I haven't tried my best yet,
no, I havent tried at all.
And I know, I've far to fall.

In The Empty
04:37
|
|||
|
I went walking in the night
the silence hurt, but it still was mine.
I could not see, I had no guide
the path turned left, I took a right.
I got lost on the way home
'cause I didn't know where I was going.
Sometimes it's alright to be alone
'cause in the emptyness, you have room to grow.
I crossed a garden, asleep and bare
the Earth still mourning the flowers there.
And in my blindness I couldn't tell
it would be alright when springtime fell.
There is a cycle we all go through.
We're quick to forget we'll be just fine.
Sometimes it's alright to be alone.
'Cause in the emptyness, we have room to grow.
I don't know whats next for me
a dozen doors stand open, free.
A dream, a choice, a place, a plan.
I just don't know where I'm gonna land.
Close my eyes and clear my mind.
Tell myself I'll be just fine.
So close your eyes and sit with me
'cause we've got all this world to see.
We might get lost, we might get sad,
as long as we love we'll be satisfied.
There are many ways to get back home.
I'll wander off but, I'm never gone.
Sometimes, it's alright to be alone
'cause in the emptyness, we have room to grow.

Ghosts
04:24
|
|||
|
Oh, my heart is full of ghosts
I watch them go
they'll never know
that I am a fool.
Keep holding on
to their songs.
My heart is full of ghosts
I hear them now
as they wash away, away.
And I'll watch for you.

Have I Said
04:27
|
|||
|
If I told you what was on my mind
would you listen? Would you criticize?
'Cause I will give you my heart and all my love.
But, you must grant me safety and trust.
Have I told you, love, I miss you
Have I told you that?
Have I said that I'm not ready,
ready to give you up?
Shadows show me what we have been.
So what are, what are we now?
Lovers or friends?
Have I told you, love, I miss you
Have I told you that?
Have I said that I'm not ready,
ready to give you up?
Love me, need me, just the way I am.
And I can, oh I can show you so much about love.
Have I told you, love, I miss you
Have I told you that?
Have I said that I'm not ready,
ready to give you up?
Oh, lonely hearts, they'll go on beating, and I owe you that.
Oh lonely hearts, they'll go on bleeding. And I don't want that.

Bitch In My Chest
04:28
|

|
Hey, little bird, where ya going?
Flying the coop as it rains.
I'm jealous of your adventure.
Are you to fly down south?
Keep yourself warm through winter.
Don't you know I'd love to go along.
How rough it gets, let me tell you,
trying to be where you want.
A lot of time goes by
before you can find it.
Am I to call out war?
Fighting myself, what for?
The bitch in my chest is hard on me.
War! Oh, War! I should just surrender.
Can't keep comparing situations
or I'll never be satisfied.
Work with peace and patience
to my heart be kind.
Am I to call out war?
Fighting myself, what for?
The bitch in my chest is hard to please.

Phantom Limb

Phantom limb,
I still feel you, I still feel you anyway.
And fallen heart,
I know better, I know better but, still I say;
I will wait to love you once again
you have my faith.
I will wait to feel your touches dance across my face.
And time wears thin
Oh my phantom limb.
Sad eyed boy,
give me laughter, giver me laughter in your voice.
And lamented love,
change my heartache, change my heartache with a choice.
Say you will wait to love me once again,
I am your spark.
Say you'll dance without me
but, I'm the phantom in your arms.
And time wears thin,
oh, where've you been?
Seasons change and the clouds begin,
I'm feeling the winds again.
Oh, and movement and change
is coming, coming my way.
Phantom Limb,
I still know you, I still know you are mine.
And fallen heart,
Trust in beauty, trust in beauty and rhyme.
I could learn to love you even when you are away.
You could learn to love me even when I'm just a name.
Oh, I'm letting go, what a shadow on my heart.
Oh, I'm letteing go and I'm told it's the hardest part.
And time wears thin
Oh, my Phantom Limb.

Thanatopsis

If I should go now,
fallen into sudden shadow,
would I know then, what I've been missing?
Would I know then, what makes life?
And as you gather 'round my pyre,
with my smoke blowing in your eyes,
would you see then, how we are fragile?
Would you know then, what makes life?
'Cause hello, my friends, we are falling,
spinning into nothing.
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Because nothing else matters.
The evening stretches over mountains
and I have tried to stay as wide.
I would hope I'm leaving you better,
I would hope you know I tried.
'Cause hello, my friends, we are falling,
spinning into nothing.
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Because nothing else matters.
I hope you know, before I go.

Give It Up
04:37
|

|
Staring into the water
I wonder 'what kind of fool am I?
Am I the one who sits stone silent, turning a blind eye?
Am I the one who will never be satisfied?'
Oh, and you standing there.
You're told to act tough like you've seen it all before.
Be a man, be a man don't you open up that door,
keep it locked tight.
Give it up, step into the light.
Give it up for me.
Give it up, step into the light.
Give it up for me.
Strangers, we're all wearing masks
of who I think I am, what you want me to see.
Good God, how will we ever understand each others eyes
if we keep hiding.
Give it up, step into the light.
Give it up for me.
Give it up, don't you dare be shy,
Give it up for me.
Darling, look in my eyes.
We're all just skeletons in the waiting line.
Go on, keep telling me, keep up your disguise.
Oh, be gone, be gone ye wicked spirits rise.
Give it up, step into the light.
Give it up for me.
Give it up, step into the light.
Give it up for me.

Old Friends
04:41
|

|
Everyone's talking about you,
yes, everybody knows.
Everyone's been telling me, telling me
about your new girl.
Well, you can take her out wherever you like,
no, it don't bother me.
Yeah, everyone can keep on talking.
'Cause we're just old friends now.
We left each other.
We never made those promises, anyhow.
We're just old friends now.
I've been trying to forget you
and leave it all behind.
I told myself to let it all go,
quit looking for a reason to pick up the phone.
I have taken all your letters
and burned them in the fire.
Oh, I'll be forgetting you in a little while.
'Cause we're just old friends now.
I cannot count on you.
You make your time well spent, oh, without me now.
We do what old friends do.
We leave each other.
We'll share a laugh or two, oh, but nothing more.
Oh we burned each other down,
We're just old friends now.
I've been meaning to talk to you
and own my heart.
Yes, I've been looking for, looking for you.
Where would I start?
Oh, it's always on the tip of my tongue
but, I'll never say the words.
Oh, I'll just keep looking for you.
'Cause we're just old friends now.
None of it matters.
We'll keep living on 'til we're strangers.
And I wonder, does she know?
Have you told her?
Will you look me in the eye and say you love her?
Oh, we burn each other down.
Yes, we burn each other down.
We're just old friends now.
