Nicer Things
04:48
|
|||
|
Underground again
Waiting for the train
To take me to a place
That I don’t want to keep going to
Again and again
Again and again
I used to kick and scream
Saying what does it all mean
Yelling indignation
Spewing my frustration
‘til I ran out of steam
I ran out of steam
I want to live out in the country
I guess that someday I will go
I only tell you to remind me
There’s nicer things that I know
Come this time of year
It happens every time
Darkness comes and swallows up the daylight
And I start to lose my mind
I start to lose my mind
I want to learn to play piano
Someday I hope I find the time
I only tell you so that other things
Might not weigh upon my mind
How fast it seems to go
This train down here below
Whishhh and it goes past
Not a minute does it last
But then a year or two or three has gone
A year or three has gone
I want to live out in the country
I guess that someday I will go
I only tell you to remind me
There’s nicer things that I know

Thousands Of Days
03:57
|

Thousands of days ago, how was I supposed to know
That you walking away, would leave me alone, for thousands of days
Thousands of days from here, I walk on though I fear
I’ll be alone, though I pray, for thousands more days
I can’t sleep all by myself
But I can’t seem to find nobody else
Thousands of days ago I should have planned for the snow
I should have stored love away for these cold thousands of days
Now I shiver in the storm, there’s no one to keep me warm
There’s nobody here to say, you’ll make it through these thousands of days
I can’t sleep all by myself
But I can’t seem to find nobody else
I don’t know how many more I can take
Of these thousands of nights I lie awake
Thousands of days ago, I was younger I didn’t know
That just to give my love away, I’d have wait for thousands and thousands and
Thousands of days ago, I was full of joy and hope
Now in bitterness I wait for thousands of days

I Still Do
03:43
|
|||
|
I used to write songs about
Making love in the summer light
I used to write songs about
How you make me feel safe at night
It’s true, I still do
I used to write pretty cards
Smelled of roses and the I’s had hearts
I used to like dancing slow
In the living room by the TV’s glow
With you, I still do
When you stole my heart
I flew up to the clouds
Though we’ve come so far
I can’t get down
I can’t get down
We used to fight, not so nice
Screaming, yelling ‘til the morning light
In the quiet of the night
You told me everything would be alright
It’s true, I still do, love you
Chorus

Holy Water
04:06
|

|
Time you're a friend of mine
I once was blind but now I see
Wine you're a friend of mine
Except for the time
I could not see
Holy water flows
From your head down to your toes
Friend you're a child of mine
I'm going to spend some time
To make your flower grow
Shine! I'm going to drink this wine
Like weeds entwined
The seeds I'll sow
Holy water flows
From me into you and off it goes
Divine you were almost mine
I watched you pass by
I don't know where you go
But there's time to sit and drink this wine
Sometimes to be blind
Sometimes to know
Holy water flows
Like air we breath and wind that blows
Holy water flows
From you me into you and off it goes

Mischievious Eyes
02:55
|
|||
|
What can you do when the end of the day arrives
And you find that you've got nothing but the night
Sleep sweet child, only for a while
Wake before you've gone and lost the fight
Tempted you didn't take my advice
You swallowed it down not thinking twice
She was a dream
You floated down her stream
'til her warmth turned into fire
And consumed your life
Oh oh mischievous eyes
Oh oh you're telling lies
You've got a crooked school child grin
But it's trouble that you're in
Live or die there is no compromise
Oh oh mischievious eyes
The focus of the lens got too sharp
The blurry little pictures came to life
What happened to what we thought we knew
Hurt came into view, joy faded out
chorus

Best Dress
04:49
|
|||
|
I’ll put on my best dress and a brand new pair of shoes
I’ll hide the bones back on the shelf
I’ll fool all of you
Oh me Oh my how she shines
Oh me Oh my like a sparkling diamond
I’ll put on my best dress the one that you choose
I’ll smile and sing and all the rest
I am just your fool
Oh me oh my there's envy in your gaze
The grass is green on the other side
Can't you see I have no shade
Maybe it’s all a lie tormented as I am
Maybe you are weary too
That, I understand
I’ll put on my best dress you can wears yours too
We’ll laugh and sing and wink one eye
We are all just fools

Are You Coming Along
02:54
|
|||
|
You say stop but I can’t slow down
Life moves too fast to look behind you
I know we’ve been moving, we’ve been moving along
But I can’t carry on with this weight on my shoulder
They say to be free you must leap so
What are you afraid of?
You know what they say’s often true so
I’m asking you
Are you coming along with me?
Two thousand five hundred fifty-five days is the time it takes to come to your senses
Your worry baby is taking up space so throw it over board
The boat will go faster
We’re all out to sea can’t you see
We can’t control it
Fate keeps us safe or we drown
There’s no way around it
So are you come along
I hate to leave you alone
Are you coming along with me
You know we’ve been dragging our feet on the ground
The clock is ticking we must go now
What are we missing while spend our time
To add all the figures and dot all the I’s
There’s no time but now
Darling please take my hand
We’ll figure it out
In time you’ll see there’s no way out
Are you coming along? Are you coming along? Are you coming along with me?

Blue Minor
04:42
|
|||
|
The sky is gray the snow has turned brown
A train in the distance plays a high mournful sound
So blue ooh ooh ...
It’s been a while now that you’ve been gone
I see no signs that I’m moving on
From you ooh ...
Such a shame what has happened to me
All my songs in a minor key
My friend told me the other day
No use hanging on hun to a love that was never true ooh...
But I can’t let go of the plans that we made
You found another
What am I supposed to do ooh...
Your memory won’t let me be
All my songs in a minor key
C is the people’s key
D needs a harmony
All it seems that’s left for me
Are broken dreams and minor keys
The sky is gray the snow has turned brown
A train in the distance plays a high mournful sound so blue, ooh ooh

Melancholy Girl

Melancholy girl your head is always down
Your walking in the leaves cracklin' on the ground
The streets are gray, you’ll walk them anyway
Melancholy girl
Melancholy eyes seem to always be searching
No matter what disguise you’re perpetually rehearsing
Nothing more to say, you’ll always get your way
Melancholy girl
Life is sweet and bitter too
Life is just like you
Melancholy girl
Melancholy girl your heart is always breaking
Your trying hard to smile but the world is always taking
Believe it’s true, there’s no one quite like you
Melancholy Girl
Life is sweet and bitter too
Life is just like you
Melancholy girl

Cerf-Volant

Comment pourais-je te perdre
Quand tu vies en dedant
Mais les mots sont comme des feuilles
Libre dans le vent, le vent
Tu habites mes reves
Dans mes chansons d'enfants
A La Claire Fontaine
Acarelle couleurs fondants, fondant
Que tu es si belle mon cerf-volant
Je tien a ta ficelle mais tu flottes si loin de moi
Jolie hirlondelle
Perle de mer si blanc
Tu chantes maintenant c'est vrai
Mais resteras-tu longtemps, longtemps
Resteras-tu longtemps

Blue Church Road
02:32
|

|
Where are you going can I come along
I’ll take your hand we’ll walk down Blue Church Road
I don’t know about that look in your eyes
But I am hypnotized
Please don’t you tell them that we came this far
We can pretend they don’t exist at all
Lay on the ground, listening to the sound
Of the wind in the trees
On Blue Church Road
How long before the secrets show
How many seeds can the devil sow
If they are lost will we find our souls
Down on Blue Church Road
Where are you going can I come along
Said the scorpion to the frog
I don’t know about that look in your eyes
But I am hypnotized

February

|
You're so cold and your so cruel
You keep me from my happiness
You lock me in and here I sit
Waiting for your winds to pass
February February
Must you play these tricks on me
Your light that sparkles in the morning
Doesn't shine throughout the day
You're icy hands they squeeze me tight
They make me shiver in the night
You freeze the lakes but not my tears
You make me wish I wasn't here
February February
Must you make me just like you
I am frozen and uncaring
You have made my lover go
