The Fade

the fade
when love is new
the world turns in a kiss
i remember this
i remember spring
when love is old
you take what you can
you hold on to words
you hold on to string
ring ring ring
telephones and steeple bells
ring ring ring
steady steady heart
i hold on
for so many reasons
but tonight i think i feel the fade
i hear your voice
you make the contact
i hear the time pass
i hear the time
we walk the line
we walk the fire
wish for desire
i feel the fade
i feel the fade
when love is new
the world turns in a kiss

Mercury the Sun and Moon

mercury, the sun and moon
love is sweet they say
promises of tomorrow
the tighter you grip
the faster you slip
this much i know
lately i want everything
every star tied to a string
coffee tea and in between
the sweetest smile i ever seen
a different song in every room
mercury, the sun and moon
too much of anything
causes one to wonder
intoxicating sighs
promises and lies
this much i know

endless green
when the day is bled dry
every color is drained from the sky
be a man please be strong
so that i can just close my eyes
a child again
summer's here
time i love
when the air
is so warm it blows right through you
oh to live
in this place
it's so soft
i'm afraid i'll lose my sadness
long ago
grass was tall
and the fields
seem to roll along forever
look around
all you see
is a sky
painted high above this endless green
be a man please be strong
so that i can just close my eyes
a child again
oh to live in this place
it's so soft i'm afraid i'll lose
my sadness
be a man please be strong
so that i can just close my eyes
a child again
look around all you see is a sky painted high above this
endless green

The First Day of Winter
02:48
|

|
the first day of winter
on the first day of winter
it was warm and still and grey
the dim sun reflected
off the sugar factory
the east river rolled on silver and blue
and everything that day in my heart was you
you told me that you loved me
then you flew across the sea
where the scenary's much different
than what lies in front of me
oil tanks line the river here
it smells like springtime in the air
but the forcast says cold days are near
i couldn't seem to shake the phrase
i heard an old friend say
"the sweetest face is the doubter
who loves you anyway"
i fight myself to kill this fear
repeating words i hope you'll hear
but i'm caught between each line my dear

After the Fall
04:09
|
|||
|
after the fall
once we were held up
suspended on wire
you put my radar to sleep
i swallowed the pill now i'm starting to tire
after the fall
it's so hard to sleep
with these sirens around
they keep on cutting the night
a smudge on the ceiling
that once was alive
after the fall
love is an ocean and
love is a stone
love is a wish that you make on your own
if all of these ghosts would just leave me alone
i know that i could be free

The War is Done

The war is done May 2000
At the end of the day
i got on a train
and rode to the end of the line
ocean vast
silent waves
renewing hope and change
your kiss an obligation
i feel it now
the war is done
For God's sake
close the bathroom door
You know how that leaves me cold
my touch is insufficient
i feel it now
the war is done
Love is blind
it cannot see
when it's come to the end of the line
i falied with good intention
i feel it now
the war is done

Survival

Survival feb 3 , 2000
oh survival walks a tricky road
balanced upon the edge
of everything that's cold
oh emotion finds the spot that's weak
then grabs you like a fighter
and drags you to the street
how can i be complete
when there's always too much
or too little around me
oh beauty alive in every scene
in everything we hold on to
in garbage and in dreams
in the starless sky
when love passed by
and crossed my line
to a future time
and taught me all about
survival that day

Trouble Fire
04:55
|

|
trouble fire
i built my house on solid sand
with principals for mortar
but now i sit and watch each stone
come tumbling in this trouble fire
the first time i laid my eyes
on the stranger of your face
i was left with no desire
no impression, no disgrace
trouble fire trouble fire
turn my words all into lies
trouble fire trouble fire
i'm burning in this trouble fire
the second time i set my sights
on your face in a room so dim
then i heard your melody
that's when i was lost to him

Naturally Blonde

naturally blonde
naturall blonde
nothing is wrong
nothing is sad
nothing is blue
only summer skies
everyone is here
everyone's alive
unfolding chairs
out on the patio
put them in a row
summertime and time was slow
behind the blinds the afternoon sun put on a show

What You Said
02:54

|
what you said
i've been thinking
about you
about change
about life it turned so strange
and what you said
now i see you
and now i don't
and now the word's caught in my throat
i can't reply
to what you said
the moon in the sky
a perfect half
a perfect half
as long as the moon's forever changing
i'm forever loving you
now you see me
and now you don't
and now the word's caught in my throat
i can't reply
to what you said

My Impossible Love
05:02
|

|
my impossible love
he is my impossible love
i know this after years of trying
still every time i hear his vioce
my blood runs lighter
and my heart beats faster
and i know
that he is my impossible love
in my dream the sky was turning red
as the sun was setting on the city
i could feel his soul close to mine as we walked
then i woke up he was gone from my side
and i knew
that he is my impossible love
days go faster when you sleep when you sleep
so come on nighttime fly away fly away
he is my impossible love
today i still feel just the same
as the first time his eyes met mine
long ago
we were young and had nothing to compare
but now i know
that he is my impossible love

Lullaby

lullaby
the wind is blowing up the coast
summertime is turning cold
the moon is lighting up the sky so bright
oh my darling blow away
i used to think and to believe
the bravest thing to do in life
was to hold on and to
never give up trying
oh my darling blow away
though i'll miss you when you're gone
i will try to carry on
the wind is blowing up the coast tonight
oh my darling blow away
