Always Remember
03:27
|
|||
Always remember the way it made you feel
Your hair inside his hands
And in the dark of the churchyard you fell
Underneath the leaves
It seems simple enough, only do as you're told
But oh, to think that you wanted to give your love away
You were a child in the green light of spring
In starlight or in sun
Barely prepared for the cruelty of a man
With unclosed eyes
You could chart all the stars
Their position in time
But oh, to think you were ready to give your love away
And do you remember all the tricks he played on you
Do you remember all the lies he told and the pain that he put you through
You asked for nothing, and you gave so much of your own
You just lay there and let him walk all over you and leave you all alone
Always remember the way it made you feel
Your hands inside his coat
And in the dark of his eyes, you saw yourself
Underneath the leaves
Through the mist of time
All the reasons just fade and disappear
And to think he convinced you to take your love away
And who would you be now if he'd taken it from you
Would you still be there in that house so many years from that afternoon
And why did you offer what you did when you did
And would you really have taken it all upon yourself and thrown it all away

Like A Dream
04:25
|
|||
So I would take you out to be seen
And you would genuflect like a dream
I would take your hand, you would be mine
But you were only passing time
(Chorus:)
I will always be on your side
Even when you don't want me around
I will help you to win your fight
If you will tell me what you've found
So we would dash across the umbilical
And you would ask me why I was cynical
Sometimes in the night, there by your side
I would support you while you cried
(Chorus)
Waiting to see what you've become
Looking to find a place to get old
Sometimes I see what you've begun
And you forgot what you were told
Up in the firmament were the stars
Down on the ground we'd sing to the cars
You would take my hand, I would be yours
We couldn't see what was in store
(Chorus)

Clockwork
03:23
|
|||
In a little while, when I feel stronger
I’ll put to rest these memories of him
And though I miss his smile, it won’t take much longer
You always knew which one was gonna win
(Chorus:)
And your mind is like clockwork
You can see the way I move
You can see the reasons why
And your mind is like clockwork
And I want this to be true
And I put my trust in you
You’d be worried if you knew the way I fall
The way I fall
In the nick of time was when you found me
It’s strange to think how different I was then
And though I call you mine, and though you stay around me
With honesty, I know it’s just pretend
(Chorus)
The way I fall so hard that I lose myself
And it has been so long since I lost myself
Though you know how close I came to that open flame
It was you who pulled me away, pulled me away
(Chorus)

Circling Girl
03:31
|
|||
Watch the snow cover the hills
She felt the real world slipping away
Into the back of her mind
Many lives lived in one day
And many selves she sheltered inside
Until the truth died away
(Chorus:)
But she will never be good enough
Cus good intentions are not enough
She will always be out of touch
It's too much effort to stay in touch
To really make it right, she will need to leave this world
The circling girl
She can feel them closing in
She has a hundred places to hide
And in her head, a thousand more
But she's sure to leave them a sign
And in the end, she knows she'll be found
There's always an end to the hunt
(Chorus)
She only knew how to give herself away
She only knew how to waste another day
So she tried to learn
Who was best to turn to
She tried to find all the things she'd left behind
(Chorus)

Spiral
04:24
|
|||
What if I don't see the light
What if I got lost in the night
We need the time and the space to unwind
And I'm afraid of the things we could find
(Bridge)
I give you what you need
I can't do any more than that
I talk and you pay no heed
And you ask me if I'm going to pass
I decide to change my name
Maybe then I won't be the same
But in the course of a day in my skin
I see the depth of the rut I am in
(Bridge)
(Chorus:)
Do you see it's like a spiral
It turns and we obey
And we give and we give to the spiral
But we shall not prevail
I can choose when to laugh or cry
And if I want, I can choose when to die
But when it comes to the hour I have planned
I shy away and I don't understand
(Bridge)
(Chorus)

This Love
03:23
|
|||
The stories you tell me, along with the pictures you paint
Are just one more reason to be jealous of you
The grass in your garden, with all its accompanying shade
So welcoming and listless on a warm afternoon
(Chorus:)
No time to spend another day
Lying among the leaves and harmonies without you
This love could be lost along the way
Left under the olive trees and the whispering breezes of youth
Another reflection, untrue to the shape of your face
Stares out from your mirror, unbidden and unkind
A day in your company is never quite long enough
And although you always think the worst, I'll soon change your mind
(Chorus)
Left under the olive trees, forgetting all the things we know to be true
And the thread of life gets tangled in this web of past regrets
And our holidays together, I'm unable to forget
And this nervousness in my hands
It makes the writing hard to understand
But I'm sure you know what I'm trying to say
It's my shaking bones, they get in my way
(Chorus)

Strange To The Limit
04:44
|
|||
I might just leave it all behind
Give up my past and try to find
Something I can keep
Somewhere on the cheap and easy side
I'd give up everything I own
Don't make me spend the night alone
Like every other night
Let me have the right to call this my home
(Chorus:)
I'm taking strange to the limit
I'm done accepting my lot
It's getting clearer every minute
I could be worried but I'm not
I should be worried but I'm not
I might just start again with you
Desert this town, try somewhere new
In Lorelei maybe
Could it be that we've found something true?
(Chorus)
My secrets and my lies I'll tell you
I'm cutting all the ties that hold me here
In between light and shadow
I found what I need
(Chorus)

Few More Days
03:24
|
|||
I know the man in the factory
He hates it there but he's got to eat
Wife says he's mad, doesn't want to be a dad
Doesn't want more mouths to feed
(Chorus:)
You know what I'm going to say
There's got to be a better way
Working for one last meal
And it doesn't even matter how you feel
I know the boy who cleans the streets
Wanted to stand on his own two feet
Dropped out of school, couldn't take all the rules
The pressure was hard to beat
(Chorus)
I know the girl behind the till
Feels like she's always climbing uphill
Knows what she had, she drinks when she's sad
Helps to wash down the pills
(Chorus)
I know what I want to do
I don't want to be like you
Wishing your lives away
And you're only going to live a few more days
