Tom Mcrae [보컬, 기타, 작곡, 작사]

I have gone to the moon
Tell all my friends
I will write them soon
And tell them
If you see them
That I am better left alone

'Cause I'm living up here where the air is thin
And where gravity don't bring you down
Yeah I'm living up here and I'm watching your universe cooling down

I spend my days beneath a perspex dome
I think that I have finally come home

So tell them
If you see them
That I am better left alone

'Cause I'm living up here where the air is thin
And where gravity don't bring you down
Yeah I'm living up here and I'm watching your universe cooling down

Yeah I'm living up here where the air is thin
And where gravity don't bring you down
I'm living up here and I'm watching your universe cooling down

a say's he's glad to be here
b's chasing storms
in the lightning state
where everyday
above ground is a good day
and life is great

a's got a cocaine body
b's got a benylin brain
a knows he's gonna
be some body
b don't believe in fame
and all our time slips away
and all our time slips away
a's got a girl
for each season
b's got a mail order bride
a knows he's headed
for salvation
b's afraid to die
if hell is in the detail
babe i'm a microscope
i know i'll live to
see you swinging
given enough rope
and all our time slips away
and all our time slips away
and all our time slips away
and all our time slips away
a's growing
tired of conversation
he's ready for
his final scene
b's whistling
hotel california
and still
living out the dream
here we are together
let's roll the dice
just one more time
odd number says
we walk away now
even says we die
don't wanna die

and all our time slips away
and all our time slips away
and all our time slips away

This train don't stop at the stations of the cross
No reasons left to believe
Trying to stay awake gave yourself a caffeine headache
To hide the taste of sleep
In choosing to forget you cut away
the safety net that holds your heart, holds your heart
And you go in search of youth touching up your empire roots
But these days we don't know how to march
Satisfied with a knife in your spine you're bloodless
So tell me again what am I feeling you know me so well
So what am I feeling and how can you tell
I've got a feeling you don't know
We think that we're the ones
we're the bright unconquered suns
Wait a while we'll watch the light grow stale
And we smell so very clean but we're the
Oil in this machine and this machine
This machine is going wrong
So choose your sides
when it comes to the fight you're bloodless
So tell me again what am I feeling you know me so well
So what am I feeling and how can you tell
I've got a feeling you don't know
You choose your side but in the fight
I see your blood run white, your blood run white
And I've seen it all before
And I see it again
So what am I feeling you know me so well
So what am I feeling and how can you tell
I've got a feeling you don't know
So tell me again now what am I feeling you know me so well
So what am I feeling and how can you tell
I've got a feeling
So tell me again now what am I feeling you know me so well
So what am I feeling and how can you tell
I've got a feeling you don't know

Coming back to the city
That I never quite leave
Picture you be the ocean
Picture me coughing into my sleeve

Like a snake eating snake you confuse me
Who's killer ? Who's captive ? Who's free ?
In a city that kills by constriction
Throw your streets around me and squeeze

And draw down the stars
Draw down the stars
What's in your heart?

You wake up
to the sound of alarms and
your Driving
your fabulous car
Listening to the
music that reminds you
You used to be young
you used to be young
And now you're searching
for a sign with your name
To define you
the king of the game
What will you do
when there's nothing left
For you to earn
and for you to learn
So dose me up
once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high
rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one
wasting my time
And every culture
has it's own magazine
And information
takes the place of
your dreams
Finding ways
to fill up the silence
But it's all that you need
turn on your TV
dose me up
once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high
rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one
wasting my time
This is the end of
the world news
This is the end of
the world news
sponsored by god

so dose me up
once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high
rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one
wasting my time
So dose me up
once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high
rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one
wasting my time
So dose me up
once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high
rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one
wasting my time
so dose me up
once is not enough
I can still see the ground

ain't scared of lightning
Come on and do your worst
If they gave degrees
For cheating destiny
Then man
I got a first
No I ain't scared of lightning
It's the same old empty threat
I've been standing proud
Beneath the gathering cloud
And man I ain't dead yet
No I ain't scared of lightning
And thunder never killed
I was born in a summer storm
I live there still
Yeah I was born
in a summer storm
I live there still

i cannot use
this language of fools
to communicate with you
the things
that you say to mark
the time of the day are
calculated to bemuse
and hey yeah hey hey yeah
won't you hide me
won't you hold my life
let me have this time
and lie here while
i close my eyes
hold me through this night
one good day will lead
the way for another my love
living here things are never
so clear you discover my love
and hey yeah hey hey yeah
won't you hide me
won't you hold my life
let me have this time
and lie here while
i close my eyes
hold me through this night
hide me
won't you hold my weight
hold me through this night

I feel the night
is on your side
Shadows wait you
when you rise
You hold the
weight of every moment
Move no distance
in your stride
And while you
wallow in your wounds
You let the devils draw near
One more mile
is all we have
You got nothing to fear
I feel the night
is on your side
And I don't recognise
this road
We sleep all day
and walk all night
You're leading me
too far from home
he says pour
another drink
And take a good look around
One more mile is all we have
Until the lost
become the found

And by the firelight
I see footprints
Shadows circle on the floor
And everything
is so familiar
We have come
this way before
Do I have the will
Do I
One More Mile
One More Mile
Do I have the will
Do I
One More Mile
One More Mile

there's always a party on funeral row,
where the cross flashes red to the street.
and gasoline dreams of girls in blue jeans,
he's grazing the surface od sleep.
the vultures on main street are eyeing you up,
calculating the wait of your bones.
and midnight graffiti appears on your door,
so we all can sleep safe in our homes.
and the storms in the distance hold no rain,
and i feel my resistance giving way.
shelter me from this sky,
dance with me one last time...
sau paulo rain... sau paulo rain
do not disturb this blood red earth,
there's giants sleeping beneath,
and carnival queens on their deathbed scenes
all go through the motions of grief.
take another hit,
let the bottle slip through your fingers
and break like a promise made
the day i remember, my heart i will keep,
my voice i surrender and i will not speak to lie

we were so alive, we were so alive.
shelter me from this sky,
dance with me one last time...
sau paulo rain... sau paulo rain

Welcome to the second reel glad that you can make it
We thought your fate was sealed it's not what we expected
But you punch above your weight and you're stronger than you look
And the ending's not the same they changed it from the book

I'm the boy with the bubblegun
I'm taking aim
I cannot hit to hurt or cause you pain
If words could kill I'd spell out your name

It's time to kill the king it's written in the scripture
See what tomorrow brings got to get a bigger picture
So forgive me forgive me for I am born to be what I must be and I must be

The boy with the bubblegun I'm taking aim
I cannot hit to hurt or cause you pain
If words could kill I'd spell out your name
I'm the boy with the bubblegun
The boy with the bubblegun
I'm the boy with the bubblegun with work to do
If songs could kill this one's for you

get me out get me out get me
out of this room let me see
cut it out cut it out rip it
out from this wound
let me bleed
but wait now
wait now for me
won't you
shut it out shut it out
black it out with the night
to put me at ease won't you
talk it out talk it out
yell out to the ghosts
that stalk the street
but wait now wait now for me
and we'll sail on
the high tide
drift on the open sea
i've been waiting for so long
take my hand take my hand
kiss me softly
then take your
leave won't you
sit down sit down
take the weight of me
let me grieve
wait now wait now for me
and we'll sail on
the high tide
drift on the open sea
i've been waiting for so long

wait now wait now for me
and we'll sail on
the high tide
drift on the open sea
i've been waiting for so long

Time
Has coloured in
The black and white
Of your sin
So burn
Burn the flag
Rip it up
Bury the rags
But I will find you still
Move in for the kill
You cut her hair

So live
Live long
See her face
In everyone
And turn
Turn the page
Start again
Change your name

But I will find you still
Move in for the kill
You cut her hair
You cut her hair
You cut her hair

pull me close, look into my eyes
smile at me when you stick in the knife
we’re bleeding into a cup when we’ve got enough
we’ll just paint the walls
and we don’t care how much it hurts
you think you’re cursed, it’s what you deserve
cos you’re talking rock ‘n’ roll
walking karaoke soul
I can see you desperate to please
let me treat you for your disease
(papayevere)
between angels and ropes, babe what would you choose
as you kick the dust from your perfect shoes
your wolf suit is wearing thin
and your real skin looks like it never bleeds
and you’re playing to the crowd
as the ship goes down comforting me
and you’re talking rock ‘n’ roll
walking karaoke soul, if you see me falling asleep
please don’t wake me from this dream
yeah you’re talklng rock ‘n’ roll
walking karaoke soul
if you see me falling asleep
please don’t wake me from this dream
yeah you’re talklng rock ‘n’ roll
walking karaoke soul
I can see you desperate to please
let me treat you for your disease
faith is gone and love is gone and
Your disease…
Your disease…love is gone and fear is stronger now
Your disease…

Ice has formed
And there's snow between the tracks
And I have seen the surface tear and
I can't look back

And cool low sun
Has blinded you for days
From horizon to horizon
Can I dream this all away

But over the water
Over the water
Over the sea
There's you shining bright
In a sea of fools
Oh I can sing you out of this
Can shake your mermaids blues

Come with me
For alone I fear the tide
It's calling me and dragging me
And I think it's time

But over the water
Over the water
Over the water
Over the sea

Shape your mouth
To fit these words of war
I see the arrows falling backwards
Burning for a cause

I'll swim with you
Until my lungs give out
Oh I can raise you from the deep
Or drown with you in doubt

But over the water
Over the water
Over the water with you
With you, with you ...

We fall
Through water
Unsung unseen
And days
Thought endless
Lose more
Light and heat
So let the dead bury the dead
I should leave
For I am
For I am overhtrown
Confess to me now
Confess to me now
Half in sunlight
And half in shade
Words in collision
I bend to your shape
I see the skull beneath the skin
I see it all
For I am
For I am overhtrown
Confess to me now
Confess to me now
For I am
For I am overhtrown
Confess to me now
Confess to me now
Confess to me now

Somebody wake me up
The dream is growing cold
And the night is all we have
Left to hold
Somebody sail this ship
Navigate this crowd
For what I once saw as land
I see as cloud
But I am stronger than you
And I am braver than you
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared
Sometimes nothing is
The better hand
And you throw it all for this
I understand
But I am stronger than you
And I am braver than you
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared will you
Will you, will you, will you
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared
Will you
You will never get close to me
You will never get close to me
This is who we are
This is who we are
You will never get close to me
Who we are...
You will never get close to me
Who we are...

Close my eyes I'm moving still
Magazines and dollar bills
And you wake up to a fall of snow
Your telephone your radio

Baby I'll call up a storm
Keep you safe from harm
But you only you only disappear
You only you only disappear

I can live with my regrets
Still raise a smile, still raise my head
And a stranger God can be so cruel
And a holy fool is still a fool

But this is all I can say
I have lost my way
But you only you only disappear
You only you only disappear

With a word with a line
With a smile that says goodbye
Baby says goodbye
Baby says goodbye

It's raining now
On Royal Street
And I'd walk to you
If I could trust my feet

She says
I know your face
But something's strange
In your eyes

Your voice I know so well
Your words I don't
Recognise

And darkness creeps
Borne on cold winds
Blows my footprints away

And I see myself
Turn into something else
Turn into someone else
For a while
And I know I'm right
Running into this night
Running another dream to the ground

The girl who falls down stairs
She calls my name
Through the air

She says I loved you once
I'd love you again
If you dare

So wipe the sleep from tiger eyes
And put this moment aside

And I see myself
Turn into something else
Turn into someone else

For a while
And I know I'm right
Running into this night
Running another dream to the ground

Needles buzz like
Neon light and
I am stained by
This town

And all my faith gone
All maps welcome
The stairs have twisted around

And I see myself
Turn into something else
Turn into someone else
For a while
And I know I'm right
Running into this night
Running another dream to the ground

Pull me out
Pull me out
Pull me out

She lies still
Her eyes on fire
Undressed to kill
And untethered in time
And in the arms of a stranger
You search for someone like her

And the music carries on
In a simple border song
You once knew

People like you
They come and they go
What's left to say
We already know
And we've danced these shoes to pieces
And we stood where no one has stood

And the music carries on
In a simple border song
You once knew

And I guess I've said it all
And I guess I've said it all
You can climb but you will fall
And I guess I've said it all

You will walk
You will walk
You will walk out of here

You will walk
You will walk
You will walk out of here

And I guess I've said it all
And I guess I've said it all
You can climb but you will fall
And I guess I've said it all

She comes to me in dreams
A train wreck beauty queen
But I don't remember her
On a wall of white and blue

I wrote my name and thought of you
But you would not have known
Through a window of a car
A cigarette's a fallen star
A dream within a trail of sparks

And conversation turns to sleep
And I wait for you to speak
I'm waiting still

So for the restless
Not the peaceful sleeper
This song's for you
And for the faithless

Not the true believer
This song's for you

And I keep my secrets well
Move on and never tell
Some day they'll show
And you raised me to be cruel

You raised me like a bruise
I'm bleeding still

So for the restless
Not the peaceful sleeper
This song's for you
And for the faithless
Not the true believer
This song's for you

She comes to me in dreams
A train wreck beauty queen
Now I remember her
And everything you love will break
You're running out of things to make you

Feel alive
Alive
Alive
Alive

So for the restless
Not the peaceful sleeper
This song's for you
And for the faithless
Not the true believer

This song's for you
It's for you
It's for you
It's for you
It's just for you

Light me a smoke
I'll tell you a story
Of how the west was won
Flew over diamonds
East river shining
A city sinking in the mud

And in a second
A life-long second
I knew what we'd become

We use up people, use up time
Use up places, we say goodbye
Searching for the crowded hour

Now there's a buzzing in the wires
Look for lightning in your eyes
And I see it there

Hey hey Rockstar
Let's play happy
This could be our final hour

I'll take your picture
But who needs pictures?
They only strip you of your power

Don't lose your nerve now
Feel the curve of the earth now
Rising up to meet your feet

We use up people, use up time
Use up places, we say goodbye
Never find the crowded hour

It's time to move the saints again
Curse the sun to kill the rain
I wish I knew just how

We should have driven
Out to the ocean
Our hands tied to the wheel

Now something's broken
Don't know what's broken
Or if I want it healed

We use up people, use up time
Use up places, we say goodbye
Where the hell's the crowded hour

Scattered thoughts and promises
Let the wind take all that's left
There's nothing for you here

So take a card and put it back
Hide the faces cut the pack
The future's not that clear

Light me a smoke
I'll tell you a story
Of how the west was won

You wanted glory
Well here's your glory
Just look what we've become

Sunlight beats down hard here
Count the cracks in the ground
And we sleep through days of flood and fire
At night we fly above this town

Now we're coming down
Now we're coming down
We're coming down

At night I dream of the hummingbird
Feel the beatings of its wings
And if you only had one choice my dear
Would you fly or would you sing

Now we're coming down
Now we're coming down
We're coming down

And in a year of new beginnings dear
How do we write the end?

Here she comes
Here she comes
The hummingbird
The hummingbird
The hummingbird

I'm walking on a wire
Twisting in the wind
And something here is dying
And I could use a friend

But it ain't you
It ain't you
It ain't you

Another car crash sunrise
Is burning up my street
Above the call of sirens
Someone sings to me

But it ain't you
It ain't you
It ain't you
It ain't you

Tonight I'll walk on water
Tonight I'll leap through flame
And sing it to the corner
And still the blood in your veins
'Til something flickers in me
I feel the motion of light
And slip into the distance
And someone lips in my life

But it ain't you
It ain't you
It ain't you
It ain't you

Darling I'm lost
Adrift in the dark
I'm clutching your words
To my vampire heart once more

So let in the light
Turn me to dust
If it don't end in Bloodshed dear
It's probably not love

Here we are
In the darkest place
My reflection
Shows only your face

Something is found
Something is lost
Went looking for clues
On the streets of old New York

And I spilled someone's blood
I broke someone's heart again
Someone you know
You're looking at him my friend

And the people in our lives
We all leave behind
Leave behind

Here we are
In the darkest place
To keep from forgetting
I picture your face

And I wonder
While we count the cost
Which is sweeter
Love or it's loss

So I curse you
My vampire heart
For letting me you love you

Love you
For letting me love you
From the start

Low light
Framed in red
Sing out
Until your last Breath

'Til the cats in this town
Scream another night down to the bone
You count under your breath
Wonder which step comes next

But you can't set a course
When you've lost yourself
Your love
And your north

No I'm not anybody's good son
Shoot the lights out all over this town
'Til we're out on the silent boulevard
With our way lit only by stars

Red hand
Voice like a knife
Warns me
No good goodbyes
And seen from the sky
The city tonight is on fire

No I'm not anybody's good son
Shoot the lights out all over this town
Come on out, come on out
To the silent boulevard
Come on out, come on out
To the silent boulevard

Come on out, come on out
To the silent boulevard
Come on out, come on out
To the silent boulevard

So my love I
Left this world for a while
For a while

I float through strange days
Seash the one way to
Bring me back to you

So don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
From here

Cause I'll be still lost
I'll be still lost
I'll be still lost
I'll be still lost
When you come
When will you come
To look for me

If I was to
Call you
Would you come
And if I was to
Call you
Would you come
Oh my love
When will you come to look for me

Cause I'll be still lost
I'll be still lost
I'll be still lost
I'll be still lost
When you come
Why don't you come
To look for me?

Another dead dog highway
The road to paradise
Is littered with your saviours
The lines are growing faint
Another paper saint has put us all in danger

So take my hand
I'm a stranger in the strangest land
I'll return the favour
Slide into my heart
We'll hide there in the dark

I catch you in my lights
I'm reaching for a knife
For halo girls and dreamers
A statue comes to life
Another roadside shrine
For hypocrites and bleeders

So take my hand
I'm a stranger in the strangest land
I'll return the favour
Slide into my heart
We'll hide there in the dark

A bullet from a stolen gun
How much I'll miss you when you're gone
But now I think it's time you went away

So take my hand
I'm a stranger in the strangest land
I'll return the favour
Slide into my heart
We'll hide there in the dark
In the dark
In the dark

Time
Has coloured in
The black and white
Of your sin
So burn
Burn the flag
Rip it up
Bury the Rags

But I will find you still
Move in for the kill
You cut her hair

So live
Live long
See her face
In everyone
And turn
Turn the page
Start again
Change your name

But I will find you still
Move in for the kill
You cut her hair
You cut her hair
You cut her hair

pull me close, look into my eyes
smile at me when you stick in the knife
we’re bleeding into a cup when we’ve got enough
we’ll just paint the walls
and we don’t care how much it hurts
you think you’re cursed, it’s what you deserve
cos you’re talking rock ‘n’ roll
walking karaoke soul
I can see you desperate to please
let me treat you for your disease
(papayevere)
between angels and ropes, babe what would you choose
as you kick the dust from your perfect shoes
your wolf suit is wearing thin
and your real skin looks like it never bleeds
and you’re playing to the crowd
as the ship goes down comforting me
and you’re talking rock ‘n’ roll
walking karaoke soul, if you see me falling asleep
please don’t wake me from this dream
yeah you’re talklng rock ‘n’ roll
walking karaoke soul
if you see me falling asleep
please don’t wake me from this dream
yeah you’re talklng rock ‘n’ roll
walking karaoke soul
I can see you desperate to please
let me treat you for your disease
faith is gone and love is gone and
Your disease…
Your disease…love is gone and fear is stronger now
Your disease…

Baby, I went back to funeral row
kicking through the old streets
of a place I once called home, not long ago
Searching for an omen, looking for a sign
looking for the place I swore an oath of love undying
of love undying

But I'm tired of this dull ache
this endless and fake parade
I'm goinna torch my name and my trade

Run into the bright lights
run into the bright lights

Brother don't go back to funeral row
the streets have fallen silent
and the cross no longer glows
on funeral row


And i'm tired of this dark place
where hope dies and hope fades
I'm gonna leave these shadows behind

Head into the bright lights
head into the bright lights

So come on Red get your guitar
feed the flames and feed the fire
wishing things won't make them so
and the truth is i refuse to go
Dos the shadow's where the best things hide
you can keep the brightest light
you can keep the brightest light
you can keep the brightest light

So Mr Heartbreak you're back
Is the dream showing cracks
Come back older, come back changed
But still chasing the rain
With a lightning tattoo
Proof I once was struck dumb by you
Like hot rain on hot earth
Are you a gift or a curse
From this place, darling please, deliver me

In a small motel room
History and hearts break in two
Cut your losses cut your ties
And I'll drink the shine from my eyes
And I've given up sleep
And chasing you in my dreams
And outside the cars


Throw light on the walls and the scars
From this place, darling please, deliver me

And if you believe that what's done is done
How history repeats from father to son
And on and on

Hey Mr Heartbreak you're back
Pour a drink for the man
Come back older, come back changed
But still chasing the rain
Still chasing the rain
Here comes the rain

(papyaeverte)
Change the locks on the door
Put out the light in the hall
I do not live here anymore
Put the world in a box
Turn the sign to the street
Aim for where the horizon and blue skies meet
But all I know is
I’m not ready yet
For the light to dim
Got a suitcase, got regrets
But I’m hopeful yet
I’ve been a gifted thief
Stole everything for the cause
I never had fingers as light as yours
So wake up pretty girl
See the hope in small things
Disappointment can wear you thin
But all I know is
I’m not ready yet
For the light to dim
Got a suitcase, got regrets
But I’m hopeful yet
And I'll raise this glass of wine
And I’ll say your name
So let's be killers, babe
Make the great escape
From all the bitter words of every crowded street and empty heart
It's Christmas day, Brooklyn in the rain
But I am safe inside a better world of hope and memory
Drunk on velvet wine
the Southern Cross for light
Deal the cards and hope that I can play a better hand
This time

Look here comes Houdini
Handcuffed, blind and bound
Here comes a girl now
Slips a key into his mouth

He says I've been under the water
I've been under the ground
And honey one thing's certain
There's no escaping now
Cos it's a long way down
It's a long way down from here

Look here comes Houdini


Triumphant after all
But where's the girl now
Did she not survive the fall

She says I've been under the water
I've been under the ground
And honey one thing's certain
I'll never take that bow
Cos it's a long way down
It's a long way down from here

Here I go, back again, sliding off the ceiling
Was I gone for long or did I just flick the switch
Across the street, away from me
A man is singing sympathy for the devil
And he's getting all the words wrong
His newspaper flies desperately
But words aren't wings like gravity
They'll keep you here
It's a theory to subscribe to
But you know you're being lied to
So keep your picture clear

Stay awake, the lines are drawn
You're never right until you're wrong in the eyes of the world
And a picture tells a thousand lies
Little dots in black and white, you've no idea
The strongest will survive
But it's the scum that always rises
So keep your picture clear

You talk just like a diplomat
But hide the gun behind your back
And leaders need a bloody war
Congratulations this is yours
Looking through the history books
Of liars, cheats and pretty crooks
They'll print your picture clear

So close another file
Of revolution turned to style
We're so tired of walking blind
Growing fat in hungry times
Keep your picture clear

So Lord, I wait for your reply
But I won't hold my breath tonight
You're so much empty sky
And it's too late
The damage has been done
You gave a child a gun
Then turned around and ran
And it goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
You know that it goes on
We were here long before
And we'll be here when you're gone
It goes on and on and on
You know that it goes on창?짝

Believe it if you dare


Still he'll vanish in thin air
As useless as a prayer
And it's too late
The ricer has been crossed
The war's been fought and lost
Your words have turned to dust

And it goes on창?짝

And you know you had your chance
And still you won't show your hand
It's not a thing that I'd call love

Got no gloves and I don't wear a hat
And these streets are cold
And I forgot the reasons I came

Walk a mile and I cross the bridge
To where heat of industry
Meets cold river air
And I wonder if I will
Survive the wave
That'll drown this place

It's a clockwork planet
And I've broken every key
Trying to keep the time from twisting out of reach
And it's one Mississippi
It is two time's grip is slipping
It's three Mississippi
Time stands still

Got no home and I made no plans and this
City holds me in the palm of its hand and it sings
This is where you will catch your breath
Well I'm thinking of you
And I can hear your words
When you said flying away is for the birds
And by the way genius you ain't walking south


It's a clockwork planet
And I've broken every key
Trying to keep the time from twisting out of reach
And it's one Mississippi
It is two time's grip is slipping
It's three Mississippi
Time stands still
And it's four Mississippi
Can we stop the clocks from ticking
It is five Mississippi
Time stands still

And can we spin the world on its axis
Can we make the clocks run backwards
Can I only change your history for a day
And can I fix you in this moment
See us both move in slow motion
Is that sunrise or sunset who can say

It's one Mississippi
It is two time's grip is slipping
It is three Mississippi
Time stands still창?짝

Daylight splits the room
You sleep while I watch you
How the light shines on you now
Breathless and playing tricks
but you rise to my fingertips
How the light shines on you now
I'll be the one to set the story straight
I'll be the one to take your hand and say
Now we run, what's done is done
Let time heal time, your hand in mine

Sundance my friend, truth is this city's dead
its been dying since you left
Don't look for me here, these waters will never clear


even light dies through the years
I'll be the one to set the story straight
and i'll be the one to take your hand and say
Now we run, what's done is done
And we slip through the wire, fight fire with fire
and we search for a sign, through white noise white lies

Day light leaves the room
You sleep while I watch you
How the light shines on you now

So baby there you stand
The bottle in your hand
Shouting to the night
While the city sleeps

Caught in the light of a car
Or subways station sparks
I see your face again
Guess it's time to leave

And I watch you fall from a great height
And you watch me fail night after night
And the still the sound, still the sound of the city tonight
Keeps my dreams and my demons alive
Baby I'm still alive

I hear the city breathe
I dream the city's dreams
And she's still in my arms
For another year



So bring your broken hearts
Call me The King of Cards
I'll make it disappear
With a sleight of hand

And I watch you fall from a great height
And you watch me fail night after night
And the still the sound, still the sound of the city tonight
Keeps my dreams and my demons alive
Baby I'm still alive

Still you don't come, you won't come
But the fever has broken
And the daylight is blinding your eyes
And still you don't come, you won't come
But the city she's not done
She's calling, she's calling your name

Hey there Amelia Earheart
Queen of All the Skies
When you gonna fly that plane of yours
Back through time

With the timing of a comet
You'll be back around
And we'll make bright light of it
Like you never left the ground
And I'll be waiting
With my eyes on the clouds
And I'll be waiting for you to come down

I gave you a silver angel
From this place in Amsterdam


And the days they fly so quickly
I can't hold them in my hand
And I'll be waiting
With my eyes on the clouds
And I'll be waiting
For you to come down

And I'll be waiting
With my eyes on the clouds
And I'll be waiting
For you to come down
Why don't you come down?

It's the best winter I remember
It's the best winter I remember
Chasing through the cold December nights
One foot on the sidewalk, one foot in the sky
Slide in through the doors of a darkened church
Cold heart beating like a hummingbird
It's the best winter I remember
It's the best winter I remember
Singing with no shame in this broken choir
Songs to save you from the fire
Home before the liquor and echoes fade
Sleeping in the shadow of the Empire State
It's the best winter I remember
It's the best winter I remember
It's the best winter I remember
It's the best winter I remember

Wake up, love
Think I've lost control
The shadows are on the march
I can't fight them all
cause they come out of the walls
They come out of the walls

And take me down, love
Down, love
Down to the ground
Down to the ground

Wake up, love
Bring the candles raise up the torch
Pour water in the ink of night
Wash this darkness from my thoughts
멌ause it comes out of the walls
It comes out of the walls

And takes me down, love
Down, love
Down to the ground
Down to the ground

Wake up love
Think I've lost control
The shadows are on the march
And I can't fight them all

Fireworks through the trees
City turns away from me
My hand raised to say
Goodbye, goodbye my love

Wheels roll to the light
Sleep kills fevered night
And it뭩 easier now
It't easier now you're gone

Shadow rise, shadow fall
Deaf to siren call a year has died
A year since I said your name

Burning in the blue
Light comes low and cool
And like your love
There's no heat in this winter sun.

So please let my heart go
Please let my heart go

Walk the world side to side
Place where hidden memories lie
And I buried you there along with your history
Give me sun you give me shade
And seven years of hurricanes
But now my love I'm sundialling my days away

So please let my heart go
cause I don't care no more
So please let my heart go
cause I don't care no more

When I walk through the bone yard with you
I think I’m walking hand in hand with my own ghost.
I’ve been many things, played a fool to catch a king
And I’ve even been the man behind the walls who hears your screams
But I, I still love you
Yeah I still love you
Like a wolf on a black new moon
A shadow boxer at high noon
I’m acting lost and so confused that much is clear
Are you the one I’ve come to save
Are you the water or the wave
Am I drinking you down deep or drowning here
But I, I still love you
Yeah I, I still love you

A summer of John Wayne
Getting older
Reel after reel
And playing old soldiers
With old wounds
You know how that feels

And a summer of searching
The underworld
An arrow in my heel
And the winding down of days
And the speeding of time won't change

But I know you say nothing good lasts forever
Some things burn bright
But burn themselves out to embers

And these weather conversations
And small talk
Steal my hours away
And I gave away my best to strangers
Day after day
And the winding down of days
And the speeding of time won't change

But I know you say
Nothing good lasts forever
Some things burn bright
But burn themselves out to embers

Your love is a cold, cold place my dear
The seasons change those ghosts appear
And every sound is an echo of yesterday.
And suddenly I fall through the cracks in time
And I standing here with your hand in mine
And I turn around to see you there no one there

But I know you say
Nothing good lasts forever
You will forget
But I will always remember, the time

I feed on fire and confusion
Of this crime I'll rid my soul
Gonna slide on down to the river
Gonna tell her all

So I told my troubles to the river
And I tossed them in the deep
And I washed my hands in the river
But the river brings more trouble to me

I told my troubles to the river
She shared them with the seas
She returned them to me doubled
The river holds no offer of peace
I can wash this blood from my fingers
I can wash this stain from my soul
But I can't wash out your memories
The river returns them all.

I told my troubles to the river
She shared them with the deep
Yeah I told my troubles to the river
But the river brings them back to me
Yeah the river brings them back to me
