read my mind, will i find,
speak the truth, something to stick to you.
what would you say, to make me go away?
laid my bait, and all i had to do was wait.
walking in the night time, walking in the night time,
moonlight lover,
please don’t turn the lights on.
yellow, blue, cold in a warm room.
the more you do, the more that you can do.
paper and play, speaker with strange ways.
time behind, every day ripped wide.
walking in the night time, walking in the night time,
moonlight lover,
please don’t turn the lights on.
hide behind, telephones unwind.
low and slow, waiting for the sound to go.
how could this be, come on back to me.
maybe call, i thought you might like to know.
walking in the night time, walking in the night time,
moonlight lover,
please don’t turn the lights on.

heavenly day

made for lightness,
eyes and thumbs.
see what comes in view.
all connected, ever near,
all things flow from you.
heavenly day.
heavenly day.
it’s a heavenly day, i can’t believe it.
invitation left alone
only waits so long.
until the silence in the sky
shatters to the ground.
heavenly day.
heavenly day.
it’s a heavenly day, i can’t believe it.
heavenly day.
heavenly day.
it’s a heavenly day, i can’t believe it.
call your ghosts.
they’re all for you.
let them howl and shake.
show their faces
hold them tight.
look them in the eye.
heavenly day.
heavenly day.
it’s a heavenly day, i can’t believe it.
heavenly day.
heavenly day.
it’s a heavenly day, i can’t believe it.

shine for you
05:44

it started out small
a word and a glance
a slim little window
a ghost of a chance
the first time you fell
how could i know?
why didn’t i wonder
how far it could go?
if i missed the signs
then i wish that time
would stop
and turn back around again
if i lift you high
like you picked me up
so many times
couldn’t you try again?
i know you lie
i don’t mind
tell me i’m beautiful
like you.
i swam in your ocean
and bathed in your sun
there used to be two of us
and then there was one
it seems like a long time
but it doesn’t seem long
can’t say that it’s alright
if this could go wrong
if i kissed you now
like you kissed me then
that day
would you remember?
if i listened now
would that make a difference
now that we’re here
would it my dear?
if it was chance or a twist of fate
or an accident with no escape
if you’re lost in the dark, if you can’t see through
i’ll find a way to shine for you
i’ll shine my light for you

takin off, floating on
heaven knows where you’ve gone
no fault, no goodbyes
the truth hurts, so do the lies
empty promises and easy answers
every story’s got a secret to tell
it took some time but you finally feel it
you saw the stars when the sky fell
when the world turned around
you were upside down
you’ll be upside down
as the world turns around and ‘round forever
shimmering in the deep
do you dream when you sleep
you lost time in your illusion
and found hope in your confusion
empty promises and easy answers
every story’s got a secret to tell
it took some time but you’re finally feeling it
you saw the stars when the sky fell
when the world turned around
you were upside down
you’ll be upside down
as the world turns around and ‘round forever
you broke the chains
and fought the monster
found a place in calmer waters
and it’s alright
you were upside down
and it’s alright

as a child i rose from bed
innocent and small
i wandered past the looking glass
and down along the hall
i’d sleepwalk through the living dark
another breathing thing
and slip beyond the walls of home
to hear the crickets sing
it’s written in the sky i guess
we’re pushed toward the light
and since i have to face the day
i never walk at night
i grew until i met a boy
then i thought i’d rest
we moved by day
and watched the sun
as it set in the west
he took my hand and led me up
a stair that reached on high
he laid the bedsheets over me
and covered up my eyes
it’s written in the sky i guess
we’re pushed toward the light
and since i have to face the day
i never walk at night
another place another year
we’re all repeating time
i know the way it goes from here
and how the stars align
at night i rest to meet the day
we spin and turn again
and though i can’t remember why
i know where i began
it’s written in the sky i guess
we’re pushed toward the light
and since i have to face the day
i never walk at night
it’s written in the sky i guess
we’re pushed toward the light
and though i have to face the day
i’ll walk again tonight

there’s a blanket
of fallen snow
it covers everything
in the streetlight’s
hazy glow
i see you waving
you’re framed by the window
your perfect smile looks so sweet
lucky me, ‘cause i know
no matter where we go
we’ll make it home
in the morning
in a dream
waking up with you
wind is howling
calling out
from the cold blue
you sing while you’re sleeping
i drift in time, warm inside
lucky guy, ‘cause i know
no matter where we go
we’ll make it home
in a house on a street
candles burning soft
and you’re the key
lucky me, ‘cause i know
no matter where we go
we’ll make it home
we’ll make it home

love (the change)
04:05
|
|||
|
the anxiety of influence is never lost on me.
the inheritance of expectations never duty free.
underneath the surface there is electricity
nipping at the showcase prize that everybody sees.
but i could turn it all around. turn it upside down…
if i could learn to love the change.
a palm that’s flat can hold the sand that lays for days or years
a tightened fist can stand the gust that sometimes will appear.
so i’ve been told, but i’m not sure the lesson’s very clear.
the wind that blows will make me cold, whatever time of year.
but i could turn it all around. turn it upside down…
if i could learn to love the change.
i set the course, i rode the horse to send the message wide.
and if by sea, they sailed to me, they’d find me there inside.
a place to face the waves, they thought, a place where life’s alive
when sometimes there’s just anything you’d rather do than drive.
but i could turn it all around. turn it upside down…
if i could learn to love the change.

head slipping under

you look. you’re heavy on my tongue.
honey, should i walk a while instead?
now we’re stuck.
beginner’s luck is up,
and i can’t put you back
(i wouldn’t want to.)
soon, you’ll move into my room.
red strands and black
wound round my hairbrush.
time, i watch it in your eyes,
light blue in winter
change to golden in july.
and i’m struck by the wonder
of my head slipping under,
watch me disappear.
i cried, let’s leave the pool behind,
with all the names we thought we’d always know.
it breaks, the drops fall on your face,
you look at me and say
you never thought we would be friends.
and i’m struck by the wonder
of my head slipping under,
watch me disappear.
you say another time and place,
i go further everyday,
but i might as well stay,
unless i cut the line...

something beautiful
04:36
|

|
there’s a hawk out there on the fencepost
a cold sun coming over the fields
your white hat and my satin blue sash
and everything that we wished we could feel...feel
the pair we played…
i made my bed with you
“just stay, just wait…”
“i can’t take you with me”
there’s something beautiful
something true
something beautiful
we carry through
it was best when everything kept moving
and the speed kept the dust off our wheels
and you looked just like a star in a movie
so amazing, so alive and so real… so real
the pair we played…
i made my bed with you
“just stay, just wait…”
“i can’t take you with me”
there’s something beautiful
something true
something beautiful
we carry through
in everything that you imagined
in everything that you deserve
you’re free

we gotta do it again and again
did you try to catch a memory
of a place we used to go
in the streetlight on the corner
in the slowly falling snow
all the secrets in the stories
the mysteries that you still read
there’s another at the ending
another myth another seed
we gotta do it again and again
every question’s got an answer
every answer’s got a twin
i slipped my heart into your pocket
warm enough to let me in
there’s a shadow on the landing
something there in front of me
everything comes into focus
suddenly my eyes can’t see
we gotta do it again and again
we found forever in a doorway
no one else was passing through
lost the thing that we were chasing
chasing me and chasing you
we gotta do it again and again
