fade
03:27
|
|||
|
think I'll go to LA
got some things that need tidying
can you see that it's true?
can you see what I have to do?
let me fade
a bedrock of booze
it's all gone, man, we drank it through
I'm going through change
nothing more, nothing left to say
let me fade away
I'm building a new house today
my new house is made out of steel
built upon what I concealed
knowing now what's real
and all that remains
are forgotten things
and the distance that grew
between you and me
and if there was love
now, let me be
let me fade away
I'm building a new house today

bowery moon
03:28
|
|||
|
well, I know all about you from everyone
and I hope it's true
do you feel the same?
as I do about you?
I'm tired of all the guessing
can we just skip past all the undressing?
and speak with our exposed hearts
underneath this bright bowery moon
I feel the strength in you
coming through your fingers on my neck
grip tight enough to prove
that you don't intend to let me go, don't
cut me with your eyes
and put your fingers into me, through the skin
feel the warmth inside
fire burning suddenly
I'm tired of all the guessing
can we just skip past all the undressing?
and speak with our exposed hearts
underneath this bright bowery moon
I feel the strength in you
coming through your fingers on my neck
grip tight enough to prove
that you don't intend to let me go, don't

saturday apart
03:37
|
|||
|
here I go
got to find a different way, today
to cover up the gray
in my place
in that special place I go
where I can be alone
I don't know what I'll do
if I can't lean on you
hey, hey
saturday's falling apart
and oh, oh
it felt that way right from the start
on my feet
standing on a busy street
I know will never be the same
like my head
like my messy head
it grows busier by day
hey, hey
saturday's falling apart
and oh, oh
it felt that way right from the start
here I go
got to find a different way, today
to cover up the gray

bookends
04:15
|
|||
|
here I go
thinking 'bout you, again
aren't we like two bookends?
with a novel in-between
something old about the sea
here I go
thinking 'bout you, again
aren't we just like Jeweler's hands?
with some diamonds up our sleeve
something sacred but unseen
and I know
it ain't fair to compare
anything to what we share
and I see
right between you and me
a shining simile
anytime you leave me all alone
it feels like summer without June
it's like the tide without the moon
I know
it ain't fair to compare
anything to what we share
and I see
right between you and me
a shining simile
here I go
thinking 'bout you, again
aren't we like long lost friends?
reunited 'round the bend
no beginning, without end

once a raven
04:32
|
|||
|
it always hurts most in the morning
push it down begin again
a little while and I'll be soaring
I'm forever on the mend
two points in time
connected by a line
and here I sit
at the end of it
pluck a raven from the sky
peel the feathers off it's back
grind it down to powder dry
blow it back into the wind
two points in time
connected by a line
and here I sit
at the end of it
you ask me why
why my hands are shaking
am I alright
answer lately's been the same
no, no, no
Jesus Christ, I can't remember
I've forgotten everything
don't remember my september
can't recall how bad it's been
two points in time

living ghost
04:04
|
|||
|
a living ghost is in her bed
and he's haunting her today
"I live alone", she said
and the ghost just turns away
can you see me now, oh?
I'm waving my arms
but the words just won't come out
and in the silence, I harm
I, I'm not dead
I feel, yeah
I've got the find the life inside this see-through silhouette
my throat is closed, my voice I simply haven't found it yet
and I know it hurts
and I make it worse
I, I'm not dead
I feel, yeah
a living ghost is in her bed
and he's haunting her today
"I live alone", she said
and the ghost just turns away

pal
03:10
|
|||
|
I didn't get to say goodbye
all the time that passed and the reasons why
could I have been a better guy?
my epitaph
I was there when you came out west
in your hunting boots and your viking vest
we shared a home, we did our best
I miss your laugh
and you left the world to me
you left the world to me
you left the world to me
you left the world
I'd trade what you left for you
all the memories and the music too
all the old for something new
this photograph
and you left the world to me
you left the world to me
you left the world to me
you left the world
I didn't get to say goodbye
this is the best way I can try
I love you, Pal, I'll watch you fly
to heaven's half

troubles
03:32
|
|||
|
maybe I'm to blame
'cause all my troubles have names
and faces
there goes another day
feels like it slipped away
it races
I never thought you'd love me like you do
believing everything I said was true
but now I've gone and ruined you, oh
I never thought you'd love me like you do
believing everything I said was true
and now I've gone and ruined you
I said maybe I'm to blame
'cause all my troubles have names
