If i get lost along the way to meet you
If i'm more than a little late If i get caught up in circles chasing my own tail If i trip up and fail you If i let you down If i let you down I can see that injury that accompanies the passage of you I can try to rationalize the accumulation of fear And the dreams that draw a song in pursuit of the end of time And the grace that illuminates the past If i let you down If i let you down In the night the city's quiet From the rooftop we can see the moon rise high above the clouds Just enough light to see our faces give expression to the words we thought but didn't speak And then you asked me a question that i won't forget Even if i spend my life trying to live up to what it means If i let you down If i let you down Don't let it break down Don't let it break down Don't let it break down |

Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the misery I go through Never knowing what to do Oh, the pain of loving you You just can't stand to see me happy Seems you hurt me all you can Still, I go on loving you But I never understand To love and hate at the same time The line between the two is fine The two have bound me, heart and soul So strong that I can't let you go To love and hate at the same time The line between the two is fine The two have bound me, heart and soul So strong that I can't let you go |

Come down Come down
From your willow tree Come down Come down and talk to me Can not reach your hand from this grown where I stand And the world is too much with us Today Fly down fly down From your willow tree Alight, alight on my bended knee Come let a stream of impossible things The sound bells the fluttering of things Ohh rest a while here the wild blue Crackle and flame I know why that bird still sings My heart, my heart tried to take its flignt To get to you I do wrong I do right Take to the air change the color of the sun Say goodbye to everything I've done Change my ways till my dying day Set prayers on fire Throw desire To burn time |

After the first time we kissed
I drove for an hour in the wrong direction Frozen in the winter wind Where nothing could ever begin I saw you You were shining like a brand new sun Shining starlight For me For you and me, my love Pass a junkyard on the left Time to catch my breath Almost to the out-of-state line Oh, it'll be better This time, this time |

Pulling back the rain is wet
We're still inside it all And what's yours in the morning By the night it all could be gone You sound so good to me And I have to say I'm glad it wasn't me Who had to walk away Memory is heavy when you have to write The pictures that are scattered They swell up in your eyes And how much becomes yours What can you throw away All this it matters on moving day Sweeping out from under the bed Afraid of what you'll find Looking out windows for the last time See past that face in front of you And lift your head Leave the saddest room |

This doesn't have to end,
But it should. We used to help each other out, Now it doesn't feel good. So go back to your room And hide with your cellophane. All twisted up in two Like Caliban you've seen it all Without language to use. The phonecalls stopped, The letters, too. Maybe we passed on the street, Pretended we never knew. It might be worth the effort But we don't have the time Or the will to intrude. Sooner or later you have to choose Between one set of lies and another. It's nothing new. But like it or not, There's part of me in you. I don't know if I'll ever see you again And there's one thing I'll never understand. It's like the words that we said Rolled over to play dead And we kissed them goodbye And never questioned why. |

Summer snapped in half and half flippin' coffee creamers
Twenty times, that's a good sign, like a four-leaf clover Downtown was filled with the sounds of the full and the part time losers And when we stepped up to the bar, you asked for a cigarette and the years just melted away right then And I saw all the ways that we've changed and the decisions that we made And I wasn't hurt or afraid Some skin holds night in Some gifts go unrequited I dreamed I was holding my breath Go down again till I'm breathing in water and breaking like the day, getting in your way |

What you kept and gave away When you came into my life Did you stop To think twice Little things pile up and turn into bigger things And i want you to notice (this) And i want you to try Don't cut me off Don't cut it out Don't give away What you can live without Don't let it sit Just spit it out Don't hide yourself Where no one can find you Don't hesitate Just let me know Don't keep it all to yourself I'll try to understand you Don't hesitate Just let me know Don't keep it all to yourself I'll try to understand I'll try to understand |

Did time takes it toll,
Did it cost too much? Did it cost all the sweetness That, was the best time you ever had. It slipped so swift from the palm of your hand, The time's when you stood tall. Crawling with a backwards glance so strong, That you can't believe it at all. You thought that you lost such a solid love; The best friend you ever had. But the world is upside down, Too many moments you could not keep, The places that saw you speak, You don't know how to see this through. What did you miss? In the telling of all this And how could you guess That it would ever be like this? |

A sullen spent seven years
Scraping love from the dust that covers your fingerprints I sit around and watch the splintering Of a trust that I never seemed to have a hand in Well maybe it's true I'm barely there So easily mistaken for your favorite chair Like a perfect and graceful fading Well I thank you For giving me nothing 'cause who could be a witness Who could have the patience You like to sit there in it Privileged and indifferent You never come around to see my side So i don't get to tell you that I'm doing fine Monday comes, and Monday goes You're my faithful, stand-by no show 'cause who could tell the story Sit down and read it to me Who'd reveal their memories Be the first to say Yeah I do see you when you're looking down Pages scattered on the ground You're the one who tore them out You're the one who tore them out Yeah I do see you Right through And it feels too soon to leave you Leave you |

Lighting up the night sky Flicker in your eye Ladybugs crawl across your hand In plain sight, broad daylight I don't mind But in the dark Invisible and beautiful Then gone again When you've forgotten them They're back again On and off On and off On and off Only a fool tries to follow the light of a firefly |

On slow days
Thoughts free to wander Over to West Hurley And down past Ashokan The reservoir And Georgia waving from the back of a car She holds your hand She holds it so tightly She digs in her fingernails And later that night, she whispers a name She says it aloud for the last time Cutting that milkweed Bending down low in her navy blue dress I'll never know which one I resemble the best Oh, Georgia, you have been missed The light from the moon It falls on the Hudson And your mind is back in 1907 The reservoir And Georgia waving from the back of a car |

After you gave up on the world
For the first time I understood Your words were as good to me as gold But it's all getting old already I care about what you see Even though you try to take the best of me apart And punish me for trying I watched you hit the ground With the luckiest smile around With your stupid guile and your chain I couldn't have missed you hailing cabs in the rain I care about what you see Even though you try to take the best of me apart And punish me trying Everyday the nausea hits you You face the mirror Wonder if you'll ever get out of here We'll never get past the past Staring a hole through the bottom of a dirty shot glass I listen well to your rage And search your face for a spark For something shimmering in the dark |

Fixing an eye on the hopeful
In a heartless room you'll be done soon The snow is falling down And the whole damn town is covered with white It's obvious that trust is the catch and the magnet That could pull you through this braille night Where nothing's free and you just can't see How to sacrifice what you need to be You can't shake this silence still In your heart you're just not there You're a thousand miles from here You just want to disappear Winter went out with a whimper Such a lonely sound to try to get around Imagine yourself as a little kid In your parents arms and then it's gone You step to the mic almost petrified 'cause everything you feel is in your eyes You cannot hide but you're haunted By the early frost By the ones you've lost Beauty shines so bright Vanishes from sight Wrap yourself in the night Love with all your might You can't shake this silence still In your heart you're just not there You're a thousand miles from here You just want to disappear You're a thousand miles away You're a thousand miles away You're a thousand miles away You're a thousand miles away |

On the way to California
See my sister Carolina Looking out on South Dakota At a field of gladiolas Gonna sell it in the summer Leave behind the floods and winters Letting go of what they suffered Let it fall away like rain across the plains From a payphone on a corner Making plans for our departure I could wish we'd rush right over Looking back over my shoulder Cold December weather Not keeping us together It's New Years Eve forever We're flying down the turnpike in the night Looking out to the horizon Anyone could see the swelling of your heart All the lights that shine before you Looks so helpless, and so far to see Someone's always running faster Towards the anchor that you need You forget again and ask her Why the light, it had to leave An echo in a footstep, a whisper from a portrait Shows us all the stars you see |

Sucked out of dream Face to face with your makers And the facts of a fall And your faith seems so small There's an ocean of glass And you're moving above it Stretching out in the sky And your body is weightless You're an acrobat No one can deny it Now we have to try to do all we can To find you You know that he's gone with the sun through your window Everyday is a world that you'd never choose to visit No one wants to cry or say their goodbyes Looking in dreams for you Looking in dreams for you |

Is flicking dimly up on the screen I can't see the lines I used to think I could read between Perhaps my brains have turned to sand Only, oh my I think it's been an eternity You'd be surprised At my degree of uncertainty How can moments go so slow Several times I've seen the evening slide away Watching the signs Taking over from the fading day Perhaps my brains are old and scrambled Several times I've seen the evening slide away Watching the signs Taking over from the fading day Changing water into wine Several times I've seen the evening slide away Watching the signs Taking over from the fading day Putting grapes back on the vine |
