Leap Year

Save my money
For that plane ride
Horn of plenty
Heavy sunlight
Autumn's bounty
Bread and red wine
In a hurry
But there's so much time
I will wait for you
Growing love but like water
Time will always slip through
I will wait for you
But please come soon

The wind sounds angry
But my coat's kind
Wrapped in blankets
In the daylight
Winners longing
Some are close behind
In a hurry
But there's so much time

I will wait for you
Growing love but like water
Time will always slip through
I will wait for you

Is it in a plan
Written in your hand
Believe or understand
Something other than

Fear is blinding lights
Squeeze my eyes so tight
Could you make a flower grow
Would you let me know

I will wait for you
Growing love but like water
Time will always slip through
I will wait for you
But please come soon

Song Beneath The Song

Cryptic words meander
Now there is a song beneath the song
One day you'll learn
You'll soon discern its true meaning
An interesting detachment
A listless poem of love sincere
Desire, despair
Overlapping melodies

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

Oh now the roots are reminiscing
Recurring dreams of minor chords
Metred time
Muted chimes find the beat

And in the pulse there lies conviction
A steady push and pull routine
The cymbals swell
High notes flail into reach

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

It's not a love, it's not a love,
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song...

Two Of Those Two

There was a time two fearless minds
Where we packed up for a new place
A college town with a musical sound
And everyone had a new face
There was something there
Maybe it was the trees
Or the flowery air
Or that everyone seemed so glad
They were there
And we were two of those two
We were two of those two

We got a house in between a homeless shelter
And a coffee shop
We painted the walls until we couldn't reach
I said, "It looks cool this way, let's stop."

There were always people there
Maybe it was the music
We played on the record player
Or that everyone seemed so glad
They were there
And we were two of those two
We were two of those two

And those were the times
The quietest days
We'll sit and smile and remember
Nothing could feel the same
We were so free
We were in each passing second

And you can't sustain
Anything, everything must change
So be thankful for everything
And I am
I am
I am

Nature Song

When nature talks I'm not supposed to hear
I'm not supposed to know, don't I know
We never wore clothes, I let the feeling go
And let it fade inside
I know why I love I know
You're leaning down and gently you say "I want to leave"
Sure you can go but then you will sleep alone,
though that I'm yours
When nature walks I see it in your legs
There's something in your style
In the sun
You turned into the wind and took all my surprise
And like a million eyes on me, on me, on me

You're leaving now didn't you say "I want to leave"?
Anything else get it yourself and know what's mine's yours

When nature learns nothing's in control
And nothing stays the same in your way
It will not return until the season's change
And when it changes fine I'll go, I'll go, I'll go...

Light House

Watch the children sing, but not to be singers
And so hopeful, they still are believers
There's so much to do or say without repeating
And a sad story hoped she would keep reading
Maybe a message or just not perceiving
There's so much to do or say without repeating
So why don't we?
And don't expect too much, okay?
Cause the best, the worst might have passed anyway
And like the light house we watched it spin 'round and 'round
There's just some things
They aren't meant to touch the ground

Bada ba bada ba bada bum bum...

And let our legs just run, no concept of distance
And all these rules we've learned could make no difference
There's so much to do or say without repeating
And it's the subtle laugh that will keep ringing
And what was overlooked could now have meaning
There's so much to do or say without repeating
So why don't we?

And don't expect too much, okay?
Cause the best, the worst might have passed anyway
And like the light house we watched it spin 'round and 'round
There's just some things
They aren't meant to touch the ground

Bada ba bada ba bada bum bum...

One For The Shareholder

A dance, a bid, a matinee
It's a faint, a brief, affinity
It's a touch, when it shouldn't be
But it's all right
And it's a step but you're too quick to fall
Now a crash but it's just physical
Not a point, 'cept it's natural
But it's all right

Uh-uh

There's no burden that will agonize you
A worry that will weigh you down
Not the memories that hypnotize you
You won't turn around

You can't love me (x4)

A regret, it's undetectable
It's a shy display, nonemotional
It's a siren, barely audible
But it's all right

And it's an angle of the paradigm
It's a cold box of cheap red wine
It's the thought that gets lost in time
But it's all right

Uh-uh

There's no burden that will agonize you
A worry that will weigh you down
Not the memories that hypnotize you
You won't turn around

You can't love me (x4)

It's a shade of what it could not be (x3)
It's a shade, a shade

There's no burden that will agonize you
A worry that will weigh you down
Not the memories that hypnotize you
You won't turn around

You can't love me (x4)

Xanax

Afraid of an airplane
Of a car swerving in the lane
Of a dark cloud too low
Of being swept away by the undertow
Of a building tumbling down
Of the train when it's underground
Of the icy mountain roads
We have to take to get to the show

There's just a time when we must all let go of that that we hold
There's just a time when we must all let go of that that we hold
With not being known, we'll have to go

Afraid when the phone rings
Another breath of life has ceased
It seems it's just lost so easily

Afraid of my heart that beats too slow
Or that I died and just didn't know
Or of a fate I will have to choose
And I'm afraid of how much I love you

There's just a time when we must all let go of that that we hold
There's just a time when we must all let go of that that we hold
With not being known, we'll have to go

It's just now that I've found a place where I can breathe
It's just now that I've found a place where I can sleep
It's just now that I've found a place where I can breathe
It's just now that I've found a place where I can sleep
It's just now that I've found a place where I can breathe
It's just now that I've found a place where I can sleep
It's just now that I've found a place where I can breathe
It's just now that I've found a place where I can sleep

Birmingham 1982

Dinner call in the late afternoon
The sun step down for the moon
Story books, night lights
And I still remember songs
Pianos sing along
And the coloured sounds of spring
Its harmony
Do you still remember?
Fireflies, four-leaf clovers
Fingerpainted skin
Where life was a reaction
And love was just laughing with a friend

Down out in the backyard stream
Make a wish for your dream
Maybe a kiss maybe a ring
And I still remember songs
The banjos sing along
And the crisp sound of fall
I still recall
Do you still remember?

Flashlights under covers
Raindrops on my tongue
When life had no distractions
And love wasn't hurting anyone

Fireflies, four-leaf clovers
Fingerpainted skin
We don't know where we're going
We'll get nowhere if we've forgotten where we've been

We'll get nowhere if we've forgotten where we've been

Speak Easy

We'll bathe in rose petals, red
And lie in violet lilac beds
And through the darkness of the night
We'll watch our future shining bright
And out of everyone I've met
It's you I can't forget

And there was a time my heart was aching
Yes there was the day I swore it was breaking
Under a lucky star our love was born brand new

And in the shadows of the night
I'll trace your silhouette in candlelight
And if you fall asleep when you rise
I'll be there to kiss your eyes

And now my heart is in your hand
So baby, understand

And there was a time my heart was aching
Yes there was the day I swore it was breaking
Under a lucky star our love was born brand new

So don't cry, Angel
I will stay the whole night through
Forevermore, I'll be loving you

And there was a time my heart was aching
Yes there was the day I swore it was breaking
Under a lucky star our love was born brand new

So don't cry, Angel
I will stay the whole night through
Forevermore, I'll be loving you

Forevermore, I'll be loving you

Hitched!

Once upon a time in a place
Far, far away from here
Long, long ago
Where your eyes drift past distorted lies
And dreamed of a love to make you feel more alive
Be worth any compromise
A love that would always keep you surprised
And prove to be worth a fight

No more days too long
Pretty love songs you hum as you drive along
The same subtle note
And then you came in to say what your face already told

You said, You’d found her
And you would make her your bride
Stand by her until you died
Your tender eyes all glistened with pride
A smile so satisfied

Lynn Teeter Flower

A good start

You're one with the burden of intuition
You're one with the freedom of a blank stare
You're one with the best friend you lost you wish was still there

You're one with the dust on that old piano
You're one with the strings on your new guitar
You're one with the wind through the open window, you are

It was a faint line
That brought you here
And a pulse that kept you in time
It was the comfort of a tradition
But the fear that you were not that kind

And it's a shame now, baby, you can see yourself in everything you're running from
And it's the same world, honey, that has brought you down
As the one that's gonna pick you up, and pick you up

You're one with the echoes of conversation
You're one with the strangers you overheard
You're one with the lesson that was the best one you learned

It was a faint line that brought you here and a pulse that kept you in time
It was the comfort of a tradition but the fear that you were not that kind
But you are

And it's a shame now, baby, you can see yourself in everything you're running from
And it's the same world, honey, that has brought you down
As the one that's gonna pick you up, and pick you up

It was a long dark sleepy morning walk, you fell down facing up
It was a good start, it was a good start
It was a long dark sleepy morning walk, you fell down facing up
It was a good start, it was a good start

And it's a shame now, baby, you can see yourself in everything you're running from
And it's the same world, honey, that has brought you down as the one that's gonna pick you up
And it's a shame now, baby, you can separate yourself from where you stood
And it's the same world, honey, made you feel so bad as the one that made you feel so good, feel so good.

Clean getaway

I made my place by the door
I didn't know what i was waiting for
It felt just like home
Except no grass, no yard, no pictures hung

I could see across to the park
And there were friends
They were laughing hard
They looked just like my own
With no face, no name, no voice i know

I finally made it
I made a clean getaway
I finally made it
I made a clean getaway

I met someone at the bar
He had a great smile and a great heart
It felt just like love
Except no fear of losing and it wasn't tough

I finally made it
I made a clean getaway
I finally made it
I made a clean getaway
And i miss you
I miss you every single day

Smile and wave

She's got a rich sense of style
A believable smile
I don't
She paints colors on her eyes
That cast a shadow of surprise
I don't

She doesn't know i know about it
I just smile back when she waves
I could never do the same
I could never do the same

She keeps a spotless place
She has selective taste
I don't
She'll find out where you are
She'll send you birthday cards
I won't

She doesn't know i know about it
I'll just smile back when she waves
I could never do the same
I could never do the same

She doesn't know i know about it
I just smile back when she waves
I could never do the same
I could never do the same
I could never do the same

No stars

I saw the devil in a dream
He wore a three piece suit and smiling
He promised every living thing to me
And when the land was all despair
He made water spring from everywhere
Until the black hills went back to green

And then heat was tipping
And smoke was spilling
It poured out into the street
And i was frightened by my fearlessness
To be engulfed by everything

And what i knew was left behind
There were no stars for a wish to find
And there was nothing in my clenching fist
And i just can't wait for tomorrow
Cause i will let go just as you asked me (?)

I saw the devil in a dream
He wore faded jeans and smiling
He promised every hidden thing to me
And when a soul was in despair
He'd make confetti fall from everywhere
Until the restless eyes fell back to sleep

And then minds were tipping
And thoughts were spilling
They poured out into the street
And i was frightened by my fearlessness
To drown in everything

What i knew was left behind
There were no stars for a wish to find
And there was nothing in my clenching fist
And i just can't wait for tomorrow
Cause i will let go just as you asked me (?)

What i knew was left behind
There were no stars for a wish to find
And there was nothing in my clenching fist
And i just can't wait for tomorrow
Cause i will let go just as you asked me (?)

Replay

There's some things she needs to verify
Could you bring forth an alibi
Cause she was always in between
The jury and the attorney
You give an ultimatum he will decline
And he was undecided most of the time
And he was always in between
His life and a movie scene

And the weight of our words
Is what we don't understand
Or the test in the part of every woman and every man

So with dignity and grace
Boy you'd have to erase
All the things in your mind
That replay and replay and replay and replay and replay
The things that made you cry
That you forgave, you let go by
Or you will push the one that you love out of your life
Out of your life

And there was always something she had to plan
She's always looking down in her left hand
And she was always in between
Her life and her childhood dream
And there was always something he had to mend
You give a rule
You're giving something to bend
And he was always in between
His word and what his word means

And the weight of what's heard
Is what we don't understand
Or the test in the part of every woman and every man

So with loyalty embraced
Well you'd have to sustain
All the things in your mind
That will change and will change
They will change, they will change, they will change
The things that made you lie
You want to forget and let go by
Or you will push the one that you love out of your life
Out of your life

So with dignity and grace
Boy you'd have to erase
All the things in your mind
That replay and replay
They replay, they replay, they replay
The things that made you cry
That you forgave, you let go by
Or you will push the one that you love out of your life
Out of your life, out of your life
Out of your life, out of your life
Hey hey hey

Small part of me

The music stopped
You watch the people walk away
Your eyes reflected light that shone down
From the stained glass windowpane
Now we could talk
But the words would come out wrong
And there is no black or white
But still, we just move on

And you're never gonna be the same
From this moment you'll rise
To a height only gained by a compromise
Share the glimpse of a new beginning
And now you've changed
But just a small part of me believes this
And you will stay
But just a small part of me believes this

And for good luck,
We wear three keys to keep life prosperous
There's a looming shadow
That stands before us
And what was lost
Was the reason to believe
And the innocence and the will to retrieve it

And you're never gonna be the same
From this moment you'll rise
To a height only gained by a compromise
Share the glimpse of a new beginning
And you're never gonna be the same
From this moment you'll rise
To a height only gained by a compromise
Share the glimpse of a new beginning
And now you've changed
But just a small part of me believes this
And you will stay
But just a small part of me believes this
And just a small part of me believes this
And just a small part of me believes this
And just a small part of me believes this

Irish goodbye

Non-stop talk
It’s eleven o’clock
There’s a line coming out the door
I’m not feeling it
But i swore i’d go

Thrift shop
Rock a little light on a cock
All the kids screaming out for more
I’m not getting it
I’d swear i’ve been here before

How can you rap
For all that sunset
The sequin still isn’t done
And i’d like to know
You get me

Third full sip (?)
Off the straight line tip
Just one now, but i want more
Another, promise me
Thrown out the door

Through a bloodshot haze
Watch the day get paid
Find a friend, ask him take me home
And could you stay awhile
Now i can’t be alone

How can you rap
For all that sunset
The sequin still isn’t done
And i’d like to know
You get me

How can you rap
For all that sunset
The sequin still isn’t done yet
I’d like to know
You get me

My own fault

If you listen to the stream
You may get thirsty
If you watch the dying tree
You may feel weak

But don't you feel sorry
Don't you get worried
Please don't at all
Don't you take pity
It's my own fault

If you watch the t.v. Screen
You may feel hollow
If you hear the wedding vows
You may feel drunk

But don't you feel sorry
Don't you get worried
Please don't at all
Don't you take pity
It's my own fault

And there are better days
Then i’m on my way
Just follow the headlight

And don't you feel sorry
Don't you get worried
Please don't at all
Don't you take pity
It's my own fault

And no, don't you feel sorry
Don't you get worried
Please don't at all
Don't you take pity
It's my own fault

The Ballad of Sean Foley

Fell down from New Haven
To an empire cityscape
Someone asked him for directions
He would always know the way
Offer you his raincoat
Let you hide under his hat
If you can't walk from whiskey
He'll just throw you on his back

And then away you'll go
Through the crowd gathered below
To the spinning wheels
Of your mobile home
And he'll watch you sleep
Like a guardian angel

Stays inside the music
Sometimes steps outside the law
Always in the name of justice
Still believes in the lost cause
Distract you with a story
Always tries to make you laugh
He brings people together
Like Gertrude Stein and Mama Cass

And he says, "my friends are yours,
This town's full of open doors
To the sold-out shows
Eighth bungalows
And the lonesome smokes
In this tiny studio"

Always finds a muse
Everywhere he goes
Whether it's the blues
Or some abandoned show tune

Learned how to be selfless
How to love what wasn't there
But never dwell upon it
Just embrace what's everywhere
People busking in the subway
MC's freestyle in the park
Heard a kid from Martha's vineyard
Made him turn around his car

And away he goes
To the local radio
Saying, "what's that sound?
I'd like to know,
And this might sound strange,
But I just can't let it go"

Guess every sinner needs a saint
Guess every sinner needs a saint
Guess every sinner needs a saint
Says everybody is the same

Lost time

I never said that it was mine
I was just holding it
If i was lonely all this time
Well, i didn't know it
And if i tried too hard
I'd probably blow it
The rest is just a guess

If it's all just luck
It was tough enough
If we lost some time
Then we'll make it up, up

I never said that it was time
I was just hoping it
If i was always on your mind
Well, you didn't show it
But when i’d shut my eyes
You'd always know it
The rest could be the best

And if it's all just luck
It was tough enough
If we lost some time
Then we'll make it up, up

And a heart that grieves
Gets lost in everything
And a heart in need
Finds hope in anything

If it's all just luck
It was tough enough
And if we lost some time
Then we'll make it up, up
If we lost some time
Then we'll make it up, up
We lost some time
Now we're making it up, up

Lady Luck

Lady luck

We were the words that washed from the sand
I still prayed we wouldn't give it up
We were the wings of a hummingbird
But I grew tired as I would wait for lady luck

We were the blue in the newborn's eye
I still prayed we could keep it up
We were the view from my childhood room
But I grew wise as I would look for lady luck

And follow yourself
And hope that you know where you’re going
And don't question your steps
That lead you into the morning
And you'll bring a friend along the way
Your new life it's starts today
It doesn't always worked the way you planned it, ok

We were the wear in my favourite shirt
I still prayed we could make it work
We were the lair for the baby cubs
But I grew strong as I prepared for lady luck

And follow yourself
And hope that you know where you’re going
And don't question your steps
That lead you into the morning
And you'll meet a friend along the way
You can't wait for each new day
It doesn't always work the way you planned it

I like it better this way
It's lady luck
It's lady luck

Time Lapse Lifeline

I’m keeping up, keeping up with the time lapse lifeline
And they can run they can run from the font to the last rites
And we can hear we can hear the first beat to the flat line
I’m keeping up, keeping up with the time lapse lifeline
And once it’s done

Oh we dreamed a life
It was just like that, was like that
And just like that, and just like that it’s done
Oh we dreamed a life
It was just like that, was like that
And just like that, and just like that it’s done

Back it up, back it up
Stop, fast-forward, rewind
And watch the sun watch the moon taking turns in the same sky
And you were dead as the leaves now you’re new like the spring-time
Back it up, back it up
Stop, fast-forward, rewind
And once it’s done

Oh we dreamed a life
It was just like that, was like that
And just like that, and just like that it’s done
Oh we dreamed a life
It was just like that, was like that
And just like that, and just like that it’s done

Still we stand with the help of a steady hand
Capture images of boy and man
Till it's done
And seven years combined is just a flicker of neon sign
Little negative of hopes refined
Till they’re done, oh they’re done

Oh we dreamed a life
It was just like, was like that
And just like that, and just like that it’s done
Oh we dreamed a life
It was just like, was like that
And just like that, and just like that it’s done

It's time

Love me
Bad idea
Oh no flashback
Whisper I barely hear
Okay now come back

Hold (let me down) myself up (let me down)
For each let down
It aches (let me down) but it feels good (let me down)
A mistake (let me down) is understood now

It's time, can you feel it
I'm making a change
There's a world I need to know

It's time, can you feel it
I'm making a change
I learned to let it go

I don't know you, but I want to now
Oh no flashback
Careful, I’m barely here
Okay, now come back

Hold (let me down) myself up (let me down)
For each let down
Breaks (let me down) but it feels good (let me down)
Separate (let me down) I knew it would now

It's time, can you feel it
I'm making a change
There's a world I want to know
It's time, can you feel it
I'm making a change
I learned to let you go

My favorite love

It's the chill in the hollow of my bones that making my hands numb
And the sound of the windmill now where it's from
And solitude sounds are making my eyes weep
And tossing and turning I can't make my mind sleep

And getting worked up from people I just meet
And this is the reason I think
It's the ending of careless wants
But you are my favorite love

Can we map the succession, the fever, depression, the bad weeks
It was right in the corridor but left by the river where we'd meet.
And solitude sounds are making my eyes weep
And tossing and turning I can't make my mind sleep

And getting worked up from people I just meet
And this is the reason I think
It's the ending of careless wants
But you are my favorite love

100,000 Times

Oh, they talk, they talk, they meddle more
Droning lights need a change of key
"Are they on, are they off," that's what they'll ask.
It gives pleasure to the displeased

I won't hold the future to your eye
'Cause we're already waiting to die
And we can change our minds one hundred thousand times

Oh, they pry, they peek, they presume it wrong
Dreary scope needs a change of scene
"Does she know, does she care," that's what they'll ask
It gives pleasure to the displeased

I won't hold the future to your eye
Yeah, we're already waiting to die
And we can change our minds one hundred thousand

Tell me all the times you have ever known your reaction
Maybe you prefer all the things that would confound
And maybe you'll search for awhile to decide...

I won't hold the future to your eye
'Cause we're already waiting to die
And we can change our minds one hundred thousand

I won't hold the future to your eye
Yeah we're already waiting to die
And we can change our minds one hundred thousand
One hundred thousand

Green Butterfly

Dream what you can become
A shake that basks in the sun
The kettle cries when it's done
Become it and just keep going

The fight was losing it's fun
And I never knew if I won
It can live and die and become
Learn it and just keep going

A friend that you can lean on
A daughter constant and strong
Admit the things I've done wrong
Say "sorry" and just keep going

The pit inside you gets worse
The talks are over-rehearsed
When everything feels reversed
You switch it and just keep going

Green butterflies, in your sight, in your sight
The easy pace of morning light
You'll be free you'll find
When you give up

Dream that you can exist
A stranger blowing a kiss
And is it you that I miss?
Believe it and just keep going

The fight was losing it's fun
And I never knew if you won
It can live and die and become
We learn it and then just keep going

Green butterflies, in your sight, in your sight
The easy pace of morning light
You'll be free you'll find
When you give up
When you give up

Broad Daylight

Past country lines and interstate signs
We were here to sing, to shadow an endless dream
Left the family, backstage we met
You were writing your set
We talked till the owner swept
Outside the big great door

But don't look at me this way
In the broad light of day
You're not safe from the veil
Of the night; and it must be displaced
That look upon your face
I never thought I'd find

We cross tangled vines
And you whisper signs
We could hear you see
A yellow rose of spring
Your face left a perfect ring
Is it morning or night
The missed call, the missed flight
Cab is waiting, remember the song that played
"You're somebody's baby."

So I can't look at you this way
In the broad light of day
You're not safe from the veil
Of the night; and it must be displaced
That look upon my face
I never thought I'd find

So don't look at me this way
In the broad light of day
You're not safe from the veil
Of the night, and it must be displaced
That look upon your face
I never thought I'd find

A Chance

When he supported my stance
It got confused with romance
I gave another boy a chance
We both know what we did wrong
When I woke up he was gone
I saved his number in my phone

There's really nothing more to say
I can't remember anything

And you continued to call
Forgiving it all
But now I really want to talk
The situation has changed
The situation became
A mirror of the last refrain

There's really nothing more to say
Who remembers anyway

And you continued to call

Orchids

I won't get mad and I won't break in two
'Cause I understand you
Now take this change
And let my clothes soak with rain
As I study orchid blues

And some can't live
Unless they feed on fallen leaves
And so you'll let me down
To come alive
When you comfort me

I've watched you change
I've heard your words rearrange
Played back from the start
And if I did teach you anything at all
I hope it was to love with all your heart
And lie open wide
With imperfect symmetry
And so you'll love like you
And I will love like me

And to be reborn
They have to go to sea
And so, angel, you will have to set me free

Cartoons and Forever Plans

Did you know the first time you were in my sight
And did you know that look that I threw at you
And did you know my love will never die

And did you know I can't do this without laughing
And did you know no matter where it takes us now
And did you know our love will never die

The pretend season that we fill
With cartoons and forever plans
I've seen it in your eyes
I will be satisfied

And did you know electricity favours us
And did you know I'm not reading into anything
And did you know our love will never die

I won't run away, I won't run away, I won't run
I won't run away, I won't run away, I won't run

Our love will never die
I will be satisfied

And did you know my glass is never empty
And did you know I'm not as fragile as I thought
And did you know my love will never die

Overlook

Masterplan

How do you emancipate
Could you harbour the silent change
Could you keep pushing through

How do you emancipate
Will she be there if you walk away
Would you
Would you feel the same?

The fear
This moon sits high
In comparison you cower as
You pray for these thoughts to die
These choices you did make

Can you take them back
Can you live with that

Do you have a masterplan
Can the heart crumble while devotion stands
And what makes the better man

The weary sun lets go
In comparison you tower as
You turn and you head back home

These choices you did make
But can you take them back
And can you live with that

And how do you emancipate
Could you harbour the silent change
Could you keep pushing through

And how do you emancipate
Will she be there if you walk away
Would you
Would you feel the same

Do you have a masterplan
Can the heart crumble while devotion stands
And what makes the better man

And who has a master plan
You deserve a love that will transcend
You do
Again

Matador

He's always got a new kill
He comes back for more
He's a matador

He's always got a new kill
He comes back for more
He's a matador

They worship and adore, he's out for blood
He was the chosen son, he was the chosen one
The pitiful disease has just begun
I was the lucky one, I was the lucky one

Every day's a new day outside the door
'Cause I've surrendered
Every day's a new day outside the door
'Cause I've surrendered

They worship and adore, he's out for blood
He was the chosen son, he was the chosen one
The pitiful disease has just begun
I was the lucky one, I was the lucky one

Watch it disappear in the red sky
Keep it here and watch it die

He's always got a new kill
He comes back for more
He's a matador
Every day's a new day outside the door
'Cause I've surrendered

Every day's a new day outside the door
But I've surrendered
Every day's a new day outside the door
'Cause I've surrendered

Every day's a new day outside the door
But I've surrendered
Every day's a new day outside the door
'Cause I've surrendered

Happenstance

I don't unpack my bags anymore
There's always a suitcase, full
On the bedroom floor
I'm not the marrying kind
Cus i often change my mind
From draped in white
Blankets with dreams of spring time

On this cold night in alabama
On this cold night in alabama

Happenstance, show me where to go
Through ??? vines
And powder snow
There's always one
That you'll miss the most
So I'm all tucked in
Thinking of the west coast

On this cold night in alabama
On this cold night in alabama
On this cold night in alabama
On this cold night in alabama

On this cold night in alabama
On this cold night in alabama
On this cold night in alabama
On this cold night in alabama

Like It Does

You go back and forth, it's no direction
You walk hand in hand, it's not love
You can't blame the mind for dreaming
Like it does

Do you feed the void or your addiction
If you have faith you'll rise above
You can't blame the mind for believing
Like it does, like it does

There's no vow to make you honest
There's no confession that will make you pure
Can't blame the mind for searching for the cure

Don't pat your back for good intentions
It's an excuse for your careless hands
You can't blame the mind for forgetting
Best you can, best you can

You go back and forth, it's no direction
You walk hand in hand, it's not love
You can't blame the mind for the dreaming
That it does, like it does

Bad Idea

You're never counting the days or nights by the minute
When everyday is a holiday
Put on your sunday best and your high heeled boots

Come on by, the doors are always open
You can smoke in any room
Oh, the ever rejoicing to do

But is it a bad idea
Keep your loving light and the door in sight
Is it a bad idea
To do

What if I turn 49
With no husband in mind
Well I guess there's just a glitch in my design

When you're tattered and worn
And rested and reborn
Well everyday is your birthday
Put on your hands two hats (?) and your party suit

Clothes on the floor
And drawers always open
Music plays in every room
Oh, the ever rejoicing to do

But is it a bad idea
Comin to life with the crescent moon
Is it a bad idea
To do
Is it a bad idea
Sleeping all day through the afternoon
Is it a bad idea
To do

What if I turned 59
With no child of mine
Well I guess there's just a glitch in my design

But is it a bad idea
Is it a bad idea
Is it a bad idea
Oh, what's a girl to do

Idle Mind

Tell me what I'm waiting for
Just signal if I'm getting warm
Is there really something more that I am after

Tell me what I'm searching for
Don't lead me to another door
That opens to a perfect world
But not for me, not for me

On my idle mind
My idle mind
My idle mind
Come closer to you

Tell me was it in my head
Did I sabotage with things I said
For a thin interpretation of freedom

Tell me what I'm waiting for
Just signal if I'm getting warm
Is there really something more that I am after

On my idle mind
My idle mind
My idle mind
Come closer to you

In the constellations, in the night's shadows
Is there a sightless hand that points you where to go
And you stand faithfully, and I'll believe it's true

On my idle mind
My idle mind
My idle mind
Come closer to you

In A Bad Way

Look back to another day
In the throws of affection
And it had just begun

Look back to another day
We didn't know but it was fun
And we weren't twenty-one

And just like predicted it ended finally
You always had me where you wanted me

Look back to another day
In the throws of affection
And it had just begun

Look back to another day
We didn't know but it was fun
And we weren't twenty-one

And just like predicted it ended finally
You always had me where you wanted me

And I knew I'd pay
But I wanted it in a bad way
I know you were venomous
But I wanted this
In my veins

Look back to another day
We didn't know but it was fun
And we weren't twenty-one
And we weren't twenty-one
And we weren't twenty-one
And we weren't twenty-one

This Could Take A Lifetime

I've been waiting at the Greyhound station
I've been trying to find someone like you
But I never do

I've been trying to change my patterns
So I could love someone like you
But I never do

And this could take a lifetime
To believe in something true
But I hope that's not what I do

You've been walking around these same sad circles
Trying to find someone to stand by you
Baby I have too

You've been trying to believe in someone
After all the things she did to you
You know I've been there too

And this could take a lifetime
To believe in something true
But I hope that's not what you do

And this could take a lifetime
To believe in someone as true
But I hope that's not what I do

Along For The Ride

In the red sky a bed of roses
Caution in your eyes as it exposes
Overcome with fear from what's behind
Hold out your hand, I'll hold out mine

Angel in the sky throws lights like diamonds
Caution in your eyes as they are blinding
Overcome with tears from what's to come
'Cause everybody loves to love

Green butterfly where you been hiding
Caution in your wings as spring is rising
Overcome by the grace of your stride
We’re all along for the ride

Breathe

( With Andy LeMaster )

Breathe to release
And dispel what you dream
Just be glad we can kiss
And say goodbye
And say I miss you

It's just I finally found
A place where I can breathe
It's just I finally found
A place where I can sleep

Breathe to release
And dispel what you dream
Just be glad we can kiss
And say goodbye
And say I miss you

It's just I finally found
A place where I can breathe
It's just I finally found
A place where I can sleep

It's just I finally found
A place where I can breathe
I finally found
A place where I can sleep

Hand in hand we fade away
Why, I miss you
Why, I miss you
Why, I miss you
Why, I miss you

Tell it Like it is

( Aaron Neville Cover / Live 20/07/05 at the Knitting Factory in NYC )

Now if you want something to play with, go out and find yourself a toy,
Cause little boy my time is too expensive and I'm not a little boy
So if you are serious, don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if you want me to love you, you know I will, you know I will
Tell it like it is.

Don't be ashamed, let your conscience be your guide
I know deep down inside of me I believe you love me
So forget your foolish pride, life is too short for sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might aswell get what you want
So go on and please
Tell it like it is.

I'm nothing to play with, go and find yourself a toy
Tell it like it is
Tell it like it is

Tell me

( Savannah Drive EP )

Waiting for you, waste the night away
Sing for your return another day
Pace myself or waste away
Everyone else holding, I can wait

Tell me what you got, tell me what you got
Maybe you were handed a fate
Tell me what you got, tell me what you got
Maybe you were scared to explain

Taking off my clothes I feel a change,
Out of body staring in your face
I have a dream I can't erase
I float above the room and into space

Tell me why you're not, tell me why you're not
Maybe you were locked into place
Tell me why you're not, tell me why you're not
Come down and I'll do the same

A burning rush of colour to my face

Tell me what you want, tell me what you want
I'll give the most you can take
Tell me why you're not, tell me why you're not
Maybe you were scared to explain
Tell me what you want, tell me what you want
Over and over again
Tell me why you're not, tell me why you're not
Come down and I'll do the same

The First time I ever saw your face

( Roberta Flack Cover / Comes with a Smile, Volume 15: Gloved Hands in a Squeeze )

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you
I felt the earth move in my hand
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And last 'till the end of time, my love
And last 'till the end of time

Time After Time

(Cyndi Lauper cover / Maria Taylor, Kristofer Âström and Wolke / Live)

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Turning in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback to warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me
I can't hear what you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness
Has turned to gray
Watching through windows
I'm wondering If you're OK
And you say go slow
I fall behind
The drums beats out of time

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one ***
