White bird with
a black tail
Eyes Dark and face so pale
You know what your future
holds over your
side of the road

White bird with a black tail
You look like an open sail
Made me look up from
my shoes
To show me what
you stand to lose

White Bird
White Bird
With your face so pale
White Bird
White bird
Where'd you get that tail
White Bird
White bird
With a black tail

White feathers
dipped in tar
It's hard to tell
how old you are
Wonderin' how much you know
About all of us below

Half of you is heavenly
Showin off your purity
The rest of you is
from the stream
Like a land where
they both meet

White Bird
White Bird
With your face so pale
White Bird
White bird
Where'd you get that tail
White Bird
White bird
With your face so pale
White Bird
White Bird
With a black tail

Hold your fire
I'm coming out and I'll tell you the truth
I was trying to raise my roof
Did you see it
That I needed to prove
That my stinger always stays
You said she's beautiful when she plays
Did I hit you in the proper place

Suddenly

[Chorus 1]
I, oh well I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Yes I could live in this town
Before I head for home

It's my turn
With the spotlight burning a hole
But my bird-heart's turning cold
As the temperature rises all around
To the sound of a ticking bomb
And then it’s not just showing off here
You know there's something going on here
Going on here

Suddenly

[Chorus 2]
I, oh well I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Well I could live in this town
Before I head for home

And considered it odd
That I ever stayed

You know that feeling you get
when you don't want to leave

That feeling when you don’t want to leave

[Chorus]
I, oh well I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Well I could live in this town
Before I head for home

And considered it odd
That I ever stayed

A fire burns. Water comes

별이 빛나고, 은하수가 흘러요
You cool me down When I'm cold inside
홀로 가라앉아 있을 때, 당신이 나를 진정시켜 주네요.
You are warm and bright
당신은 참 따뜻하고, 밝아요.
You know you are so good for me With your child's eyes
당신도 알다시피, 당신은 아이같은 눈으로 나를 기분좋게 만들었어요.
You are more than you seem
당신은 보이는 것 이상이에요.





You see into space
당신은 우주를 들여다봅니다.
I see in your face
난 당신의 얼굴을 보아요.

The places you've been
당신이 있었던 곳.
The things you have learned
당신이 배웠던 것들.
They sit with you so beautifully
그 모든 것들이 당신을 더욱 아름답게 하나봐요.




You know there's no need to hide away
당신은 숨을 필요가 없다는 걸 알고 있어요.
You know I tell the truth
당신은 내가 진실을 말한다는 것도 알고 있지요.

We are just the same
우리는 단지 같을 뿐이거든요.





I can feel everything you do Hear everything
나는 모든 것을 느낄 수 있고. 당신은 모든 것을 들을 수 있죠.
you say Even when you're miles away
당신이 다른 생각에 빠졌을 때, 당신이 말한 거지요.

Coz I am me, the universe and you
왜냐하면 나는 나이고, 우주이고 또 당신이니까요.






Just like stars burning bright Making holes in the night
밤하늘에 구멍들을 수없이 만들려고. 별이 밝게 타고 있는 것처럼....
We are building bridges
우리는 다리를 만들어요.



You know When you're on your own
당신은 혼자 있을때에도 알고 있어요.
I'll send you a sign
내가 당신에게 사인을 보낼 거니까요.
Just so you know
당신이 익히 알고 있는 것처럼
I am me, the universe and you
나는 나이고, 또 우주이며, 바로 당신 그 자체니까요

Under this national rain cloud
I'm getting soaked to the skin
Trying to find my umbrella
But I don't know where to begin

And it's simply irrational weather
Can't even hear myself think
Constantly bailing out water
But still like I'm gonna sink

Coz I'm under the weather
Just like the world
So sorry for being so bold
When I turn out the light
You're out of sight
Although I know that I'm not alone
Feels like home

You say you feel like a natural person
You haven't got nothing to hide
So why do you feel imperfection
Cut like a sword in your side

Coz you're under the weather
Just like the world
And I need somebody to hold
When I turn out the light
You're out of sight
Although I know that I'm not alone
Feels like home

Coz I'm under the weather

Under this national rain cloud
I'm getting soaked to the skin
Trying to find my umbrella
But I don't know where to begin

And it's simply irrational weather
Can't even hear myself think
Constantly bailing out water
But still like I'm gonna sink

Coz I'm under the weather
Just like the world
So sorry for being so bold
When I turn out the light
You're out of sight
Although I know that I'm not alone
Feels like home

You say you feel like a natural person
You haven't got nothing to hide
So why do you feel imperfection
Cut like a sword in your side

Coz you're under the weather
Just like the world
And I need somebody to hold
When I turn out the light
You're out of sight
Although I know that I'm not alone
Feels like home

Coz I'm under the weather

as i walk away
i look over my shoulder
to see what i'm leaving behind

peaces of puzzels
and
wishes on eyelashes fainted

oooooh!
how do i show all the love
inside my heart

well this is all new
and i'm feeling my way through the dark

and i used to talk
with honest conviction
of how i predicted my word
i'm gonna leave it to star gases
tell me what you tell scope says

oh what is in sotoled for me now?
it's comming apart

i know that it's true
'cause i'm feeling my way through the dark

try to find a light on somewhere
try to find a light on somewhere
i'm finding i'm falling in love with the dark, oh yeah

oh oh what do i know i don't care
where to start

from a troubles are few
as i'm feeling my way through the dark
through the dark
i'm feeling my way through the dark

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water
All the muscles
tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water
The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside
of the world to me
On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers
and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along
The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside of the world
Can you help me
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore
The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside of the world
The otherside of the world
You're the otherside
of the world to me

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see
she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around
her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround
her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you
captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means
so much to me
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means
so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear
she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like
she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer
when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you
hanging on a wire
Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means
so much to me
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means
so much to me
And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes
looking from a page
in a magazine
she makes me feel like
I could be a tower
big strong tower
the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
Suddenly I see
she got the power to be
power to give
power to see
Suddenly I see
she got the power to be

"Stoppin' The Love"

So you think it's funny
That you keep calling me all of the time
Everyday
Oh honey
Don't want to be following and falling behind
If you're gonna be walking away
And I don't know
Why I wouldn't follow
Wouldn't follow

You got me looking up
Even when I'm falling down
You got me crawling out of my skin
You got me wondering why
I am underneath this big old sky
Stopping the loving getting in

Stopping the loving getting in

Now you say it's easy
That you been falling for all of my charm
And getting lost in my smile
Never ceases to amaze me
When I'm chancing my arm
That I still do it with style
And now I hope
You'll be with me tomorrow
With me tomorrow

You got me looking up
Even when I'm falling down
You got me crawling out of my skin
You got me wondering why
I am underneath this big old sky
Stopping the loving getting in

Stopping the loving getting in

You got me looking up
Even when I'm falling down
You got me crawling out of my skin
You got me wondering why
I am underneath this big old sky
Stopping the loving getting in

I think it's time
to put myself away
See I got a little silence
Close the doors
and sit a while
And walk a little
And as i put my words away
The flow slows
See this penny in the stream
Pickin it up is easy
Follow the shape of it
Jump in
Swallow it whole
Jump In
Even though
I know my way around
Possibly there's something
that I've found
Holdin on for fun
on solid ground
Someday soon

Someday soon

Gunna turn myself
into the grass
And I'll grow
Gunna take this space
above my head
I'll never need a little
Gunna wear
my feather head dress
Like an indian chief
Gunna stretch out
both my arms
I'm Gonna test
the temperature
Follow the taste of it
Jump in
Swallow it whole
Jump In
Even though
I know my way around
Even though
Possibly there's
something that I've found
Holdin on for
fun on solid ground
Oh oh oh
Even though
I know my way around
Possibly there's
something that I've found
Holdin on for fun
on solid ground
Someday soon

Someday soon

And I'll walk a little

Someday soon

I was happy in my harbour when you cut me loose,
Floating on an ocean and confused,
Winds are whipping waves up like skyscapers,
And the harder they hit me, the less I seem to bruise.

And when I, find the controls,
I go where I like, I know where I want to be...
But maybe for now I'll stay right here...on a silent sea.
On a silent sea.

I was happy in my harbour when you cut me loose,
Floating on an ocean and confused.

And when I, find the controls,
I go where I like, I know where I want to be...
But maybe for now I'll stay right here...on a silent sea.
On a silent sea....I'll stay right here, on a slient sea.
On a silent sea....

And when I, find the controls,
I go where I like, I know where I want to be...
But maybe for now I'll stay right here...on a silent sea.

See the look on my face
From staying too
long in one place
And everytime
I try to leave
I find I keep on stalling
Feel like a big old stone
Standing by
a strength of my own
But everytime
the morning breaks
I know I'm closer to falling
I'm all out of luck
I'm all out of fatih
I would give everything
just for one taste
But everything's here
all out of place
Losing my memory
saving my face
saving my face
saving my face
I'm saving my face

I'm listening to
what you say
Even though
I look the other way
but you could never
understand
the feeling of what
I'm needing
I'm all out of luck
I'm all out of faith
I would give anything
just for a taste
but everythings's here
all out of place
Losing my memory and
saving my face
saving my face
ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
ooh ooh ooh ooh
Leave it all to me
I will do the right thing
baby i'll be everything
i need
Leave it all to me
i will do the right thing
baby i'll be everything
i need
Leave it all to me
I will do the right thing
i will do the right thing
I'm all out of luck
I'm all out of faith
I would give everything
just for a taste
but everythings's here
all out of place
losing my memory and
losing the best of me
I'm all out of luck
I'm all out of faith
I would give everything
just for a taste
but everything's here
all out of place
losing my memory
and saving my face
saving my face
saving my face
saving my face
saving my face

saving my face
all out of place
losing my memory
and saving my face

This stone that
I have swallowed
Isn't goin down so well
And this road
that i have followed
Is leading me to hell
You said it didn't matter
That i think
you're a liar
Is this one of
your very talents
Stokes the very
fire that burns you
Each time you try to live
The world will
turn below you
Pressure is building
and something has to give

And when i build
you a stable
You say it's incomplete
Cuz you need the whole
cathedral
To satisfy your needs
You're like
a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land
Flying by through anything
Straight into the hand
That chokes you
Each time you try to live
The earth will
turn below you
Pressure is building
and something has to give

Something has to give

Something has to give
Something has to give

I don't want to be second best
Don't want to stand in line
Don't want to fall behind
Don't want to get caught out
Don't want to do without
And the lesson I must learn
Is that I've got to wait my turn

Looks like I got to be hot and cold
I got to be taught and told
Got to be good as gold
But perfectly honest
I think it would be good for me
Coz it's a hindrance to my health
I'm a stranger to myself

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees
Well I must be my own master
Or a miniature disaster will be
It will be the death of me

I don't have to raise my voice
Don't have to be underhand
Just got to understand
That it's gonna be up and down
It's gonna be lost and found
And I can't take to the sky
Before I like it on the ground

And i need to be patient
And i need to be brave
Need to discover
How i need to behave
And I'll find out the answers
When i know what to ask
But i speak a different language
And everybody's speaking too fast

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees

Well I must be my own master
I've got to run a little faster
I need to know I'll last if a little
Miniature disaster hits me
It could be the death of me

I don't want to be second best
Don't want to stand in line
Don't want to fall behind
Don't want to get caught out
Don't want to do without
And the lesson I must learn
Is that I've got to wait my turn

I slip softly through
Your slim fingers
Leaving traces
I embrace this
Feeling that lingers
Oh that lingers
that lingers

So take me far away
And hold me
close to your heart
And do me just
this little favour
For I do yes I do love you

This silence sits easy
So peacefully
Like the skin
Oh like the skin
Upon your body
Oh on your body your body

So take me far away now
And hold me close to
your heart
And do me just
this little favour
For I do yes I do love you
This little universe
between our backs
This little universe
between our backs
This little universe
between our backs
This little universe

This little universe

This little universe

This little universe

This little universe
between our backs
So beautiful and colourful
I lean on that

I slip softly through
Your slim fingers
Leaving traces
I embrace this
Feeling that lingers
Oh that lingers
that lingers

So take me far away
And hold me
close to your heart
And do me just
this little favour
For I do yes I do love you

This silence sits easy
So peacefully
Like the skin
Oh like the skin
Upon your body
Oh on your body your body

So take me far away now
And hold me close to

So beautiful and colourful
I lean on that

Walking around in a
daze after days
now its been
Talking it up is amazing
and amazed that I'm in
Looking at the stars
for the answers
but all that you found
Was silence and dirty ground
If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now
Listen just
a little bit harder
for I always tell the truth
it isn't just
a piston in an engine
that keeps you moving
Looking like you're looking
for answers and now
You're surrounded by silence
If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now
You're surrounded by silence
silence
you're surrounded by silence
silence
silence
you're surrounded by silence
silence
silence
You're surrounded by silence
silence
If only you could
see me now
If only you could
hear me out
If only it was only me now
yeah If only you
could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now
If only it was only me now
If only it was only me now

Show me what it
is you've done
Pull the covers off
in front of everyone
Sure you want
to the saw seams
What you created for
yourself in spite of me
You can try to tie me down
You can try to string me up
But you'd have no luck now
Please don't ever
let me down again
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me
frown again
You have shown me how
Please don't try to
be my friend again
Cuz I don't want you
I don't want you now
I don't want you now

So now you've learned
to make your bed
Far be it for me
to be the one
to pay your head
The truth is that
i could've pulled you up
But you'd already
advertised that i'd
slashed the tires of
your one man show
You can try to tie me down
You can try to stitch me up
But you'd have no luck now
Please don't ever
let me down again
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me
frown again
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be
my friend again
Cuz I don't want you
I don't want you now
I don't want you now
NO I don't want you now
NO I don't want you now
NO I don't want you now
NO I don't want you now
The truth is that
i could've pulled you up
You can try to tie me down
You can try to stitch me up
But you'd have no luck now
Please don't ever
let me down again
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever
make me frown again
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be
my friend again
Cuz I don't want you
I don't want you now
I don't want you now
I don't want you now

Hopeless
Everybody says
it's just another decay
Of the soul But I know
I'm hopeless
Follower of anything
to take me away
From this hole in the ground
I'm hopeless
Clinging to this feeling
like a fish on a line
It's sublime to
find it lately
Hopeless
No more saying that
there's no more time

I was trying far to hard
To be what
I felt I should be
I was playing wild cards
Seeing things
that weren't in front of me
Like a little tiger
play fighting
I was hurting myself
Again and again
Because I'm hopeless
Everybody says
it's just another decay
Of the soul But I know
I'm hopeless
Follower of anything
to take me away
From this hole
in the ground
I'm hopeless
Clinging to this feeling
like a fish on a line
It's sublime
to find it lately
Hooopeless
No more saying that
there's no more time

That there's no more time

Well
I'm just discovering
I'm living in a
different body
Got a little insight into
Everything that's
happening to me
Like a little spider
I'm climbing
the insurmountable
But I never hold
myself accountable
No oooh
Because I'm hopeless
Everybody says I'm hopeless
But I got a bit of hopeless
In this
Oh and you could never
bring me down
Even though
I got solid ground
Oh because I love it so
And I think you should know
That I'm hopeless
Everybody says
it's just another decay
Of the soul But I know
I'm hopeless
Follower of anything
to take me away
From this hole in the ground
I'm hopeless
Clinging to this feeling
like a fish on a line
It's sublime to
find it lately
Hopeless hopeless hopeless
No more saying that
there's no more time

Say you to me
You`re a bird with an eye for anything shiny
Searchin` the land
For a hero of a man
You say I need
More than my fair share of attention
But I think you know
That just isn`t so

Underneath, i felt the fire of a burning question
Tearin` me apart
Right from the very start
And now I see
That it don`t take a trick of the light to excite me
So strong
So long
You`ll see

Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
To what you
Know you got
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
Cause the world will turn if you`re ready or not

Simplicity
A heart of gold, an old head, and young shoulders
Quiet and lovely
Becomin` part of me
And now I see
From a handful of names and a thousand faces
One light, burnin`, furiously

I was tired of January
I was tired of June
I felt a change a-comin`
Oh, I was tired of January
Tired of June
I felt a change a-comin`
Oh, I felt a change a-comin
I felt a change a-comin
felt a change a-comin, soon

Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
To what you
Know you got
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
Cause the world will turn if you`re ready or not

Oh yeah, well the world will turn if you`re ready or not
Oh, yes the world will turn if you`re ready or not

Say you to me
You`re a bird with an eye for anything shiny
Searchin` the land
For a hero of a man
You say I need
More than my fair share of attention
