Falling from the western selves To find yourself alone again Wonderin' where you have been Your lonely voice Calls across the star lit coast Reaching out to be seen She cries your name Three times again She cries your name How long can this love remain? Scratch beneath the surface screen Of what we say and what we seem Is there truth to be seen? She's cryin' out your name But her scream sounds the same How fickle fate can be She cries your name Three times again She cries your name How long can this love remain? Birds which scream for territory Can learn to sing euphorically Given time that is revealed?? There's a wasteland in his soul The burned out trees will leave you cold Living out beside the hill She cries your name Three times again She cries your name How long can this love remain? She cries your name Three times again She cries your name How long can this love remain? She cries your name Twelve times again She cries your name How long can this love remain?
Lost myself in a tangent of words, Can't decide what I've seen or heard, Cannot sleep for counting sheep, How long does this river run deep, How long does this river run deep. Building a map in order to find, What's not lost but left behind, My instinct
Have you ever seen a sign, That upon a time, There were angels, We all lose track, Was upon our backs, Feel the weight of them, Why they fall is hard tell, But some things you can buy yourself, Yeah we all hurt the ones we love, And we don't need a reason
If there's something you wanna do, You'll know when you've seen it through, Yeah we live as we dream alone, But that's not all you've ever known. Stop look listen I can find you, I've been standing right beside you, You don't have to remind me, I know an' I won't let go. And if you've taken me for someone who cares, Then there's a dream I know we both have shared, If I talked to you after all's been done, I know we'll find home where ever we've gone, You're not the only one. But there's something I wanna show, Though not sure that I should do, So while we live all our dreams for free, But that's not all they ever could be. Stop look listen I can find you, I've been standing right beside you, You don't have to remind me, I know an' I won't let go. And as I've taken you for someone who cares, Then there's a dream I know we both have shared, If you talk to me after what's been said, Then I know there's a home where ever we live, You're not the only one, You're not the only one. And if you've taken me for someone who cares, Then there's a dream I hope we both can share, If I talk to you after what's been said, Well you'll admit there's home where ever we live, You're not the only one, You're not the only one. We live as we dream alone, But that's not all we've shown, We live as we dream alone, An' that's not all we've known, We live as we dream alone, That's not all you've shown.
Sugar boy its all over now, Sugar boy its all over now, Ain't your loving, But the things that you do, Listen boy I'm getting tired of you, Sugar boy what you trying to do, Well I told you I loved you, Now what more can I do, Told you I loved you, You be
I dreamed of you last night You had a different face Or maybe just a hair color You're older and wiser Yet more like a child I was amazed to find you still there in the back of my mind This dream was short This dream was happy This dream was short This dr
Whenever I need a friend, It's you I come round to see again, You know that I'll always be near, You're flesh and blood and you're my memory, Live on in my memory. I send you nothing but love, Just wait and see, I send you nothing but love, Just wait for
I heard you saying rightly so, Turn our backs on what we most need to know, Give in too fast then give in to no, Once they've got you where they want you, They don't wanna know. I could leave or I could stay, It doesn't make a bit of difference any more anyway, With each and every circumstance, I lose knowledge and gain innocence, You won't find me grieving, There's no regret in leaving, When I had to come here, Like I know I had to come here, I can see I had to come here, For my view to be clear, For my view to be clear. It's easy to forget how far we've come, How near I feel to where we first begun, Pushed it too far, I won't pull it too slow, Cos' where this story ends depends on how far we go. I could leave or I could stay, It doesn't make a bit of difference any more anyway, With each and every circumstance, I lose knowledge and gain innocence, You won't find me grieving, There's no regret in leaving, When I had to come here, Like I know I had to come here, Oh I know I had to come here, For my view to be clear, You know I see I had to be here, Oh I know I had to be here, I can see I had to be here, For my view is now clear. So roll on blue skies, Roll on grey, Just roll away, So roll on blue skies, Roll on grey, Just roll away, Come on roll on blue skies, Come on grey, Then roll away, Just roll away, Just roll away.
I wanna sit and talk and laugh with you as the day ends I wanna see your smiling face before the new day begins You'll never know what it means To see the sunlight in your hair and dancing everywhere I wanna shout about it But I keep quiet about it I wanna laugh about it But I don't joke about it I wanna live without it But I can't do without it I'm someone's daughter Are your somebody's son? Can I ease your pain till the morning comes I'm no one's daughter I belong to the sun Gonna ease your pain till the morning comes Keep looking for the reason High and low to let it go Keep losing my mind Looking for the peace that I'll never find I wanna know what it feels like To be the sunlight in your hair and dancing everywhere I wanna shout about it But I keep quiet about it I wanna laugh about it But I don't joke about it I wanna live without it But I can't do without it I'm someone's daughter Are your somebody's son? Can I ease your pain till the morning comes I'm no one's daughter I belong to the sun Gonna ease your pain 'til the morning comes
Baby do you know what you did today, Baby do you know what you took away, You took the blue out of the sky, My whole life changed when you said goodbye, An' I keep crying, crying. Ooooh baby, Ooooh baby, I wish I never saw the sunshine, I wish I never saw the sunshine, An' if I never saw the sunshine bay, Then maybe I wouldn't mind the rain. Every day is just like the day before, All alone a million miles from shore, All of my dreams I dreamed with you, Now they will die and never come true, An' I keep crying, crying. Ooooh baby, Ooooh baby, I wish I never saw the sunshine, I wish I never saw the sunshine, An' if I never saw the sunshine bay, Then maybe I wouldn't mind the rain. Ooooh this pain, And I know there would not be, This cloud that's over me, Everywhere I go. Ooooh baby, Ooooh baby, I wish I never saw the sunshine, I wish I never saw the sunshine, An' if I never saw the sunshine bay, Then maybe I wouldn't mind the rain. Ooooh this pain, I wouldn't mind the rain, There wouldn't be this pain, I wouldn't mind the rain, I wouldn't mind the rain
The stars light the sky, And a galaxy of emptiness tonight, Though I happiest when there's no reason for me to be, With no-ones expectation to weigh heavy on my heart, And so much hope it sometimes tear me all apart, Could you please knock me off my feet for awhile, Could you please knock me off my feet for awhile. The stars light a sky, And a gutter full of broken dreams tonight, Though I'm not content that's the way it seems to be, Still I've been fighting all week, Though I don't know who for, Hoping someone else, somewhere near knows the score, Could you please knock me off my feet for awhile, Could you please knock me off my feet for awhile. When there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight, A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight, A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight. Monkey see, monkey do, I spent my whole life surrounded by people like you, With all that expectation to weigh heavy on your heart, And no ideas to later tear it all apart, Won't you please knock me off my feet for awhile, Won't you please knock me off my feet for awhile. When there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight, A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight, A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight. Burn burn burn your soul to find, Burn burn burn your soul away, Burn your soul to find, Your soul to find.
Stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger And food and love was all but left to hunger It's when I stray from the truth as I grow older Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger
I think about you on a moonlit night And all the stars all seem to weep When there's so much love to lose There's never any time for sleep
Look at me doing all these things without you We always laughed at and you were untrue Where was it we tried hard not to go? I think that's how I finally came through
All the things we took for granted The words still live on in my head All the times I took for granted All the words I never said
I think about you in the moonlit night And the stars all seem to weep When there's so much love to give There's never any time for sleep
So I stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger And you and I was all but left to hunger It's when I stray from the tuth as I grow older Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger
Oh, the sisters of mercy They are not departed or gone They were waiting for me When I thought that I just can't go on
And they brought me their comfort And later they brought me this song Oh, I hope you run into them You, who've been traveling so long
Yes, you who must leave everything That you cannot control It begins with your family But soon it comes around to your soul
Well, I've been where you're hanging And I think, I can see how you're pinned When you're not feeling holy Your loneliness says, that you've sinned
Well, they lay down beside me I made my confessions to them They touched both my eyes And I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf That the seasons tear off and condemn They will bind you with love That is graceful and green as a stem
When I left they were sleeping And I hope you run into them soon Don't turn on the lights You can read their address by the moon
And you won't make me jealous If I find that they've sweetened your night We weren't lovers like that And besides it would still be all right We weren't lovers like that And besides it would still be all right
If I ever feel the light again Shining down on me I don't have to tell you How welcome it would be I felt the light before But I let it slip away An' I just keep on believing That it'll come back someday
It's not the spotlight It's not the candlelight Its not the streetlights Or some old street of dreams It ain't the moonlight Not even the sunlight But I've seen it shining in your eyes And you know what I mean
Sometimes I try to tell myself The light was never real Just a fantasy that used to be The way I used to feel But you and I know better Even though it's been so long Now if your memory really serves you well You'll never tell me no wrong
It's not the spotlight It's not the candlelight It's not the streetlights Or some old street of dreams It ain't the moonlight Not even the sunlight But I've seen it shining in your eyes And you know what I mean
So if I ever feel the light again Shining down on me I won't have tell you How welcome it would be I felt the light before But I let it slip away I just live for believing That it'll come back someday
It's not the spotlight It's not the candlelight It's not the streetlights Some old street of dreams It ain't the moonlight Not even the sunlight But I've seen it shining in your eyes And you know what I mean Yeah, I've seen it shining in your eyes And you know what I mean

Tired, but I ain't sleepin' Thinking about some sad affair And why I should be leavin' 'Cause some of these thoughts Only seem to take me out of here
Yeah, these habits are so hard to break They're the most easy to make These habits are so hard to break And the most easy to make
Thinking about tomorrow Tired from all the time I spared On what I still believe in When none of my talk Ever seems to get me anywhere
Yeah, these habits are so hard to break Are the most easy to make These habits are so hard to break Are the most easy to make So easy to make
So long Night-night friends, so long So long Will it ever happen again? You know that I've been waiting for you I've been created for you So long You know that I've been fading from you Nothing could save me from you So long
Tired, but I ain't dreamin' Falling into solid earth On why I must be leavin' 'Cause one of these days I'm gonna pull out all my hair
Yeah these habits are so hard to break And the most easy to make Well, these habits are so hard to make And the most easy to break So easy
So long Night-night friends, so long So long Will it ever happen again? You know that I've been waitin' for you I've been created for you So long You know that I have faded from you And nothing could save me from you So long
Now you're sitting on a Paris train Laughin' at your own jokes again Sun splits the trees into beautiful broken light Never cry more tears than you could hold in your hands When all the world's airbrushed It's a sacred bond of trust
Sometimes Sometimes I see right through the scenery The first place that's on my mind The last place I find each time
Sometimes I swim beyond the scenery The last place that's on my mind The first place I find each time
Now I'm sitting on a Paris train Molten ash falls like rain Fire burns the trees It's a beautiful fatality I love the way you stand your ground Sea moves as mercury To break its perfect skin To dare to die from within
Sometimes Sometimes I see much more than's good for me The first thing that's on my mind The last place I look each time
Sometimes I slip inside imagery And the last thing that's on my mind's The first thing I'll do each time Each time Each time
Stars racing to burn out Just stars racing to burn out A storm beginning to break Trees standing black against the sky This was inevitable This was inevitable
Sometimes Sometimes We can see beyond our history The last place you hope to find The one that's been there all the time
Sometimes Sometimes We can swim beyond the scenery The first place that's on your mind The first place you'd find each time Each time Each time Each time Each time
Stars racing to burn out The storm beginning to break This was inevitable This was inevitable Inevitable
Faith has a good side Still, everyone she ever loved, They all turned bad Constance has his own way of breathing You know you couldn't will him to survive Couldn't will him if you if you tried
There's a concrete sky Falling from the trees again And I know now why It's not coming round too soon It's harder than a heartbreak too
I've seen your good side But I still don't know just what it is that you might want See, you got your own way of moving And you know you could save it
Save my soul Save some for you Hold my soul I feel like I'm falling I feel like I'm falling
And there's a concrete sky Falling from the trees again And I know now why It's not coming 'round too soon It's harder than a heartbreak too It's tough enough what love will do
So much time Got lost in my mind But I know now what I must rely on It's a sound, forgetting, And the worst thing
I've been out walking, Don't do too much talking Don't take too much time Wouldn't take all your time 'Cause it's as precious as mine
Save my soul Save some for you Save your soul I feel like I'm falling I feel like I'm falling
And there's a concrete sky Falling from the trees again And you know now why It's not coming 'round too soon It's harder than a heartbreak too It's tough enough what love will do And you're as precious as mine And you're as precious as mine
Watching the sun coming up over Mount Washington Forever testing your intention Watching the sun going down over some distant town And why you sing you never could say
Hate causes any question To do it to before it's done unto you Hate causes any question Your love out of frame And nobody can keep you from the one you know you are Nobody to steer the way you sway, the way you walk May there never be a time that you don't live through May there never be a time that you don't walk through
Be a star Be an altar And I will hang it on you
Watching the sun coming up over St. Jude Street Forever testing your invention Watching the sun going down over Mount Zion And once awake you never sleep on
Hate causes every question To do unto as you'd have done by you It ain't 'cause you ever question Your love out of view And nobody can keep you from the ones you know you love Nobody to steer the way you sway, the way you walk May there never be a time that you don't live through May there never be a time that you don't walk through
Be a star Be an altar And I will hang it on you
You are, you are Belonging to the unknown You are, you are Belonging into the unknown May there never be a time that I don't love you May there never be a time that you don't pull through
Be a star Be an altar And I will hang it on you Be a star Be an altar And I will hang it on you
Paint what you know, not what you see Hope blinds reason, thankfully Know how it is when something fits There's just a question of being it
I'd do anything to see you smile again And I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain I wanna live and the fear is all gone I wanna protect and I know what it's from I wasn't made for secrets like these Chinese whispers, memories
Nothing is done without effect There's nothing done that won't reflect Pull one brick from an endless wall Would it drown us all?
'Cause I'd do anything to see you smile again And I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain 'Cause I wanna live where the fear is all gone I wanna protect, and I know what it's from I wasn't made for secrets like these Chinese whispers and memories
You just need love like you say you do And there may never be a time when it won't get through Yeah, you know how it is when something fits Now there's just a question of being it
And I'd do anything to see you smile again But I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain 'Cause I wanna live and the fear is all gone I wanna protect, and I know what it's from Yeah I wasn't made for secrets like these Chinese whispers, memories
Nothing is done without effect There's nothing done that won't reflect If I pull one brick from an endless wall Would it drown us all?
