I'm Yours
03:50

|
The rolling tide, where midnight nothings ride
Secret voices of forgotten rooms
The burn and turn of time
Is aching in my mind
And in the heart of every silent afternoon
You can say goodbye
You can close the door
I don’t care if you don’t want me
I’m yours
This crumbling kingdom has been overthrown
You left me standing in an empty ballroom
And I’m dancing alone
It’s escaped your arms and fingers
It’s left your laughter cold
If you ever find that feeling
You let me know
You can say goodnight
Settle up the score
I don’t care if you don’t want me
I’m yours

A love once mine
Stolen in the night by the thief of time
Forever lost
Ripped right across
You and I
Fused together to create a spark
So unreal it lit up the dark
And all too real how it grew dark again
But when you call
You call for me
And I am lost
Floating on your vacant sea
Oh just guide me down into the deep
And show me where the angels sleep
Sit me down in this old chair
Put the TV on
Then just leave
So I can fall asleep
Lay me down in the tall grass
This is starting to hurt
I will hold your diamond ring
While you’re digging up the dirt
But when I call
I call for you
And you are lost
Floating on that ocean too
Take your time with me
‘Cause I still can’t see
Show me where the angels sleep

Leaving Me Behind
03:16
|

Two worlds
And one I’m living in
Like a foreign spy
Two girls
One I knew and one who now
Reminds the tears of my eyes
Throw me a bone
I feel like a little dog
Who’s been taken for a walk
You used to laugh
Now you haven’t laughed in months
You hardly even talk
Time is what you’re taking
You say that you’re just waiting for a sign
But I got this funny feeling
A feeling that you’re leaving me behind
All my red balloons have fallen to the floor
And all my funny quirks
They ain’t so funny anymore
Who chased your heart into this winding dark?
I try to find the right words
But I fail with every breath
I can see this boredom is bordering on death
Could it be
That we no longer breathe
The lovers’ air?
Love’s not what you’re making
A withering rose on the vine
And I got this sinking feeling
You’re leaving me behind

Sunset Postcards

Sunset postcards
From painted summers
Are now full of faded colours
Always knew that this love
Would just fade to black and blue
I was bound to lose you someday
It was simple to love you
It’s been harder to forget
I got down on my knees
And that’s where I was left
And as the sun began to set
On our old honeymoon
I realised my best just wasn’t good enough for you
Now that the roses are in bloom
She’s got roses in her room
And I’m crying
And as she climbs the stairs
She’s got roses in her hair
And I’m dying
I hear the bells a ringin’
But I don’t know what they mean
Foreign angels sing their hearts
In foreign tongues to me
This could be a brand new day
Or maybe I’m just waking up
There are no words I could say
And nothing I could do
Reaching out for you
Is like trying to take another sip from an empty cup
Now that the roses are in bloom
She’s got roses in her room
And I’m crying
And as she climbs the stairs
She’s got roses in her hair
And I’m dying
The pictures are a fadin’
The long forgotten poses
Her hair around her arms
And her arms full of roses

Another Night
03:02
|
|||
|
I sit and wait for your call
To hear you say
You made a big mistake
But it never comes at all
I wash the clothes
Take out the trash
But these dirty dish dreams ain’t comin’ clean
And you’re not coming back
Tears are falling
I miss the sound of your voice in the morning
Another night drinking alone
Feeling sick and I wanna go home
And this old love you had outgrown
Escaped like smoke through an open window
I still recall
The sadness of your things gathered in the hall

Finding You
03:52
|
|||
|
Never known
Just where I was going
Happy just to be travelling with you
You walked
Walked me right up to the gate
But I hoped you’d see me through
We dreamed of endless possibilities
But we awoke to one
And we waited for the sky to clear
So long we missed the sun
I’d already lost
Thought I was still finding you
All those words that we whispered
Like black balloons into the air
A cruel cold under the covers
It’s too late to find you there
A bed of winter flowers cover
A spring love
Buried in summer
Always knew
That there would come a time
Nothing left
For you to find in me

Slow Descent to Solitude
02:35
|
|||
|
Well here it comes
The slow descent to solitude
We only dream the dreams that don’t come true
Feeling weak, chasing sleep
I’m tired, I’m tired
Put your red dress on and come around
Feeling like a child again
Helpless and alone
I’ve dropped every dime and noone’s home
My queen she shone as bright as moon
Passing royal through the room
Breathing life into every dying star

Cold Kiss Goodnight
03:11
|
|||
|
This train is right on time
The last one after midnight
Take me home
Or any place I can call my own
Like a baby in the back seat
Take me home
I’m wasted
Your kiss I still can taste it
Tried to wash it off
But the water don’t work no more
I’m faking
That my heart’s not breaking
Every time you walk out the door
I was always the one you ran to
I don’t know why you want to run away
I’m mystified
I’ve been drowning in the low tide
And I can’t see no loving in your eyes
So lay your head
Down here on my death bed
I’m ready for the cold kiss goodnight

Odds and Ends
03:14
|
|||
|
Feel a little lonely today
But you feel it in a different kinda way
Like you’ve never really known
What it is to be alone
Wept all the tears you could weep
Got no more secrets
That she would care to keep
All these odds and ends
All your two-bit friends
A dying love that won’t be born again
No longer nothin’ in her eyes
Nothing to await but the dawning of the day
As I watch the sun rise
From a dark café
She’s flying over the clouds
She’s flying over the sea
My baby’s coming back
But she ain’t coming back to me

Together Alone
03:49
|
|||
|
I followed the sun
I followed the moon
Trying to get to you, baby
There’s no reaching you
You’re never around
This house is like a hotel
And I’m feeling like a stranger as well
All silver and silence
In your city of snow
But there is a light
That you’ll never know
Baby you struck me
Like a bolt from the blue
Once I was a lover
Now my loving days are through
Nothing could do me harm
When you were the girl on my arm
Now we’ll dream together
Though we’ll sleep alone
You promised forever
But you didn’t say
That just like the weather
Forever could change
Dark and dream
How the lovers sing
Broken words that don’t mean anything
Boy you’d better roam
Because her heart is not your home
Alone together
Together alone
