In a suitcase tied with string On the highest shelf In the closet down the hall Hidden from myself Fits of madness, pools of grief Fevers of desire How peculiar these remain Slavaged from the fire For some I crumpled some I burned Some I tore to shreds Lifetimes later, here they are Ones I saved instead Letters never sent to you Letters never sent Never reached their destination Mostly born of pain Resurfaced with the purpose of A trip down memory lane Broken hearted, breaking hearts All the way it went Evidence of what I saw My experiments Life? a riddle, life? a dream Life? an accident Now I? gonna set them free Letters never sent Letters never sent to you Letters never sent Once upon a time taboo Letters never sent Letters never sent to you Letters never sent Incongruous, and overdue Letters never sent |

I'm lost in your love Lost in my love for you Everything that you say Everything that you do I'm lost in your love I can find me a night So lovely it might even change me I can find me the place where mornings come from But I'm lost when it comes to you I'm lost in your love So lost in my love for you And I can't see your face 'Cause I'm tumbling through space I'm lost in your love Find me Take me Hold me I can't let you go free 'Til you lose your love in me I'm lost in your love Lost in my love for you Everything that you say Everything that you do I'm lost in your love |

Dear mother the struggle is over now
And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Between the four of us I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what was wrong with us As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light you can walk into I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true In my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can step into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like the spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubt 'Cause you're already home Making it nice for when I come home Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out. Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river... I'll never leave, always just a dream away A star that's always watching Never turn away We'll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I'm right beside you I'll never turn away |

Time works on all the wild young men The ones who went for soldiers The ones who reached for fame The ones who swore they'd die for love No matter what the shame Time circles 'round them snuffs their spark And there they are Dancing in the dark |

If you want to be brave And reach for the top of the sky And the farthest point on the horizon Do you know who you'll meet there Great soldiers and seafarers, Artists and dreamers Who need to be close, close to the light They need to be in danger of burning by fire And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun, One who is touched by the sun Often I want to walk The safe side of the street And lull myself to sleep And dull my pain But deep down inside I know I've got to learn from the greats, Earn my right to be living, Let my wings of desire Soar over the night I need to let them say "She must have been mad" And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun, One who is touched by the sun I've got to learn from the greats, Earn my right to be living, With every breath that I take, Every heartbeat And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one, One who is touched by the sun, One who is touched by the sun. |

Davy, are you the heat I feel in my Foolish heart? Davy, there's not a day that I haven't prayed To feel something so worthy For someone like you... Davy, could there be love so bright Like to jump off the sea? Davy, did I imagine it or did you look at me With a look so bold that I had to look away? But if it feels alright If it feels alright and it feels alright Davy, Davy, Davy!!! |

The reason I wouldn't kiss you last night I wouldn't kiss you 'cause I was afriad That I'd like you too much And if I liked you too much I'd be afraid that I'd give you a present And if I gave you a gift, You might give me a gift And then I'd be afraid... That I wouldn't like it The reason, there's always a reason Behind the reason When you look for a reason A reason, I can give you a reason And maybe you'll think It's a really good reason But I come up with the reasons You asked me if I'd scratch your back I wouldn't scratch it 'Cause I was afraid that I'd twist your arm And if I twisted your arm I'd be afraid that it would lead to passion And if we got too drunk We might fall out of the bunk And then I;d be afriad We would have a concussion CHORUS Don't ever live with your real love Stop before it starts Real love will last much longer Stay stronger Living in your heart Yeah, that's where it belongs, in your heart The reason, there's always a reason Behind the reason When you look for the reason The reason, I can give you a reason And maybe you'll think It's a really good reason But I come up with the reason I'll never have another chance At the Parson's dance (He's gonna spank me) Gotta be an apple tree growing in the field Gotta be at Frankie's house right now Gotta be at Danny's house deja Gotta meet a holy man He'll be in the valley when Amelia tries to land (With his shirt off) I can never be in love, I can only be in heat And I never felt so...never felt so... Never felt so... Hot |

Can you be private when the juice is sweet And the secret is crimson Can you be quiet when my hands are heat And the riptide rises? Can you be blind and a beggar on your knees? And live on our desire alone Can you ride the tide in this insanity And still keep as still as the shadows? When the cry is so wide on the inside When the truth jumps quick to the heart When the wind or the stars are violent Can you be silent? Here'd a little something that the wizard said: 'You can kiss, but never tell All the wisdom you need And you'il be needing some Can be heard in the mouth of a seashell' Chorus Just the wide grey sky And the hunchback moon Will keep our memories Not a living soul will remember us This is just for you and me 'Cause if you;re out with the boys one night If you;re out with the boys and there's braggin? If you break, speak and call me your lover, I'l lie, I swear, I'll lie, and it will all be over |

If you want someone bad enough You can catch it like a fever And it's the last thing in the world you want, But you can catch it like a fever And it;s the only thing That's left of you And you can catch it like a fever The habit and the curse You're not here, Yet I have swallowed you whole |

You were born to break You were born to break You were born to break my heart The same kitchen, the same eyes The same reaction to the same lies It was not so long ago, A most auspicious start And only now I know You were born to break my heart Born to break my heart... 'Guilt Trip,'I can hear you say Get a grip girl, you've lost your way You don't begin to understand I guess it's time we part And don;t be usin?that old cliche: You were born to break my heart? You were born to break my heart? No wonder we looked like the perfect couple It was brilliantly conceived It seems I have a yen to lose And you can't pass up the perfect Chance to leave The same plot, the same rain Just as stubborn as a fool You'd think I might get smart But here I am, cursed, to seek love again >From yet another cold heart You were born to break my heart, Born to break my heart |

Tonight the sun went down in flames And the moon rose up in blue Heaven spoke and called my name But I'm rather it was you I'm rather it was you I'm rather it was you to hold me like the child That I never was I'm like for you to carry me across I'm rather it was you Because..... I'd rather it was you to hold me like the girl That I've never been I'm like to feel your breath upon my skin I'm like to feel it finally beginning.... Chorus One will fit just like a glove Two will feel like brand new But you are all these things and more And I'm rather it was you I'm rather it was you |
