1 am
morning again
no sleeping
she runs by the river
looking for his plane
knowing miles away, he's gone
was there more to say?
took an airplane
all life stops
mars is far from, here
she's so contrary
he's a pop star
sigh little girl
cry little girl
say goodbye
little girl

I'll pick you up
the moment's gone
and I'll sing you an un-sung song
I can make no promises
but I'll sing for you
one moment more
of this groundlessness
one moment more of your groundless kiss
you'll pick me up
the moment's here
let's just play
I like you near
You, you can make no promises
I won't ask you to, stay
for one instant more
of this groundlessness
one second more
of my mistaken bliss
You'll fly away
no moments left
no regrets
and when you wake up with my name on your breath
I'd have waited eons for your candid kisses

summer's collapse
02:28
|

I'd like to find a line
in winter or in fall
somewhere in the better
time we shared together
we were sinking like the sun
with the tide and all above
horizon fades to gray
and it feels like
playing like we're lovers
caught without a clue
drifting by our crowded coast
somewhere in the day
no one likes to be alone
this might just collapse
horizon fades to gray
and it feels like
playing like we're lovers
caught without a clue
drifting by our crowded coast
somewhere in the day
no one likes to be alone
maybe this will last
horizon fades to gray
and it feels like

wonder
02:07
|

what happened here
to me and you
more than anyone could ignore
yet we do
and we wonder
what is love
it's not exactly clear
but there are no accidents
said you
and we wonder
and we wonder
now we look at fear
is this step one or step two
it's not black nor white
what's a girl to do
are we through
so we tied one on
then stumbled in
the stage is wide open
I'm falling
and I'm lost to you
and I'm lost to you
oh yeah kind of blue
wondering

Pandora won't make up her mind
suitcases still left behind
she has not gone long
without thoughts of him
Tristan and Isolde
closing in
words are void, but are sooner said
Stanley please stop playing with my head
she has not gone long
without thoughts of him
Tristan and Isolde
closing in
maybe I care for you
but can admit to none of it

never thought I'd see your face
again, only these strings
bring you near to me
bring you near

moonbeams
02:36

maybe I'm banking on miracles
cause miracles happen
maybe I'm seeking moonbeams
on the horizon
it maybe brilliant
it maybe war
it maybe paradise
it maybe metaphor
somehow I thought there was more than this
somehow I thought there was more than this
maybe I'm banking on miracles
cause miracles happen
maybe I'm seeking moonbeams
on the horizon
it maybe simple
it maybe a ruse
it maybe brutal
it maybe no use
it maybe cryptic
it maybe abyss
somehow I thought there was more than this
maybe I'm banking on miracles
cause miracles happen

sea of green

his eyes are brown
sea is green
kindest man
I've ever seen
waves are high
wind is low
got no other
place to go
easy does it
slow glide
easy does it
joy ride
Bobby Shaftoe
went to sea
silver buckle
on his knee
will he be back
to marry me
easy does it
slow glide
easy does it joy ride
easy does it
locked inside

alien

drive round this place, alien
tears stream down my face
sometimes life's not
what it seems
then I
put on a dream
like a record
fill the scene
and make it
serene
palm trees on the dash
maybe it's been ten years
but I thought you lived near
smiles on the outside, pain
sometimes life's not what it seems
then I put on a dream
you waltz back in pleading guilty
sorry you treated me badly
why's it always my love knows no time?
while your love's slipped your mind
this time life is
what it seems
now I
live my dreams
like this record
fill the scene
and keep it
serene

Johnny boy I'd love
Johnny boy I'd love
Johnny boy I'd love
to love you
oh sister I've fallen
for a man I can't be calling
I said sister, I've fallen
for a man I can't be calling
no I never meant to do no harm
creeps up on you
sneaks up on you
no I never thought I'd fall again
yet here I am
singing
Johnny boy I'd love
Johnny boy I'd love
Johnny boy I'd love
to love you

Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
still remains within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of neon lights that split the nights and touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten Thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People Hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
and no one dares
disturb the sound of silence
Fools said I you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
Echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
to the neon God they made
And the sign flashed out it's warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence
