As I stand before you, I assure you
You’ll hear every word I have to say
In my telling of a story you ignore me
And you drift off into space
You can laugh at my misguided graces
But I know who I am and I’m okay
And there’ll come a time when you will find
These words are resonating in your mind
Well I only fall in love to feel the pain
Ain’t no ordinary thing I can explain
I live life to keep on living
I love you through your misgivings
And I only fall in love to feel the pain
Mysterious expressions that remind me of the things I most regret
Is there room inside someone like me
To move along and try to get there yet
Can I tell you what you want to hear
Goodbye my friend the end is here
So long
Can I give up what I love the most
To live as host
To that which will be the death of me
Well I only fall in love to feel the pain
Ain’t no ordinary thing I can explain
I live life to keep on living
I love you through your misgivings
And I only fall in love to feel the pain
Yeah I only fall in love to feel the pain
All I can say
Is it asking to much
All I can do
Is it all down to luck
Silver wind tangles
all tied up torn down
Warm air cold water
I die and I’m born
And I’ll be gone
In the fall
And in the morning
When I’m calling
It will all be coming down
Into a dream
Into a song
I build a montage
Oh my love
My mind is haunted
Sweet sleep
She is all I ever want
Places and things
That I’ll never recall
Forgive me myself
Have I been through it all
Graceful and soft
Is the sound of my falling
I won’t be long no
I’m a comin’ my darling
And I’ll be gone
Like a song
That has come
To it’s ending
And all that I’ve done wrong
Will linger on
Like a mist
I will fall
Soft and wet
And inconsistently
Kissing at the minutes
That slide on
You’re living in the world today
You’re running all around the place
You find yourself – you’re face to face
You run so far away
You get away with it
And now you’re in some other phase
Your lips are dry and you can’t taste this
You ain’t your war it ain’t your way
You wanna hate it
But baby you’re wasting time
And you’re always wrong about me
And you always take so long
You know you’re always wrong
You know you never do nothing without me
And you’re always
Baby always wrong
Give me everything
Everything I want
Give me everything
Everything I want
Give me everything, everything
And I’ll cry for more
Give me everything
Everything I want
Sleep in the ground with a bed made of a cowboy hat
Everybody left besides the stars that rain on you
You’ve got friends just in case you really need them
Where they’ve gone to though, you haven’t got a clue
Fine Fine
You know everything everybody’s got to tell you
Fine Fine
You’ll get there by yourself
My my you sure do like
Sure do like to put up a fight
‘Specially whence
It goes against
What you know for you ain’t right
Don’t lie just to try to make it easy
It ain’t a fact you gotta lie to tell the truth
My my that ain’t no way to treat nobody
My my the only one you hurt is you
Fine Fine
You know everything everybody’s got to tell you
Fine Fine
You’ll get there by yourself
My my you sure do like
Sure do like to put up a fight
‘Specially whence
It goes against
What you know for you ain’t right
Un petite bonjour à la fin du jour
Tu vien, tu fais demi-tour
Elle n’est jamais constante
Non jamais évidente
On aurait mieux fait de laisser
Tomber ces murs
Demain nous ne demanderons rien
Ça commence, c’est fini
Ça revient
Mon petit recours
Quand je me trouve sans amour
Je ne me suis jamais sentie
Si en vie
You say that you wanna
You don’t but you’re gonna
You’re making your mama so sad that
She’s gonna get angry right now
Lost in illusion
You know what you’re doing
Call it a truce
And go through with it
Baby get into it
Or we’re all gonna go down quick
You say that you wanna
You don’t but you’re gonna
You’re making your mama so sad that
She’s gonna get angry right now
Let it end slowly
Let it end slowly
Let it end slowly
Let it end slowly
Watch me as I walk away
Watch me as I walk across the lake
Watch me as I walk away
Forgive yourself and get all you can take
Reaching for the northern shore
Everyone knows there’s more
Ignore the rain, the beating downpour
All will calm though weathered and torn
Ooh Lake Erie
Ooh Lake Erie
Sinking in the desert sand
All is lost from your command
Everything you do by hand
So get yourself back in the van
Reaching for a western shore
Everyone knows there’s more
Ignore the heat, the beating sun’s scorn
All will calm though weathered and torn
Ooh Lake Erie
Ooh Lake Erie
Dying in a paradise
Everyone is not so nice
Lost yourself in look-a-likes
Get somewhere to set you right
Reaching for the southern border
Everyone knows there’s more
Ignore the waves that beat on the shore
All will calm though weathered and torn
Ooh Lake Erie
Ooh Lake Erie
You’ve been floating away for some time
You’ve been treading this dream
With a little less love
With each day that goes by
And there’s no need to try
When you just don’t believe
I was all in
‘Cause I thought it was you
Now I’m falling in a tumble
We were lost in
That shimmering hue
That was love
That was all that we knew
Open me up and give back what I gave to you
Take what you want I don’t care
Love me or not but please do I’m so scared
To be lonely
Lost for you
Lost in you
Never get over you
I’ll never find you again
Well I’m lost for you
Lost in you
Never get over you
I’ll never find you again
All of me
All dreary insensible
Lost me
Do you dare?
Far from me
And knowing the rest of me
Take what you want
I don’t care
Open me up and give back what i gave to you
Take what you want I don’t care
Love me or not but please do I’m so scared
To be lonely
I opened up my eyes this morning
And I saw you standing in my door
You came in without any warning
Though I saw you coming true before
Daylight, daylight frightening
When you don’t like the lines on the face you see
And what do I make of what’s to come
I just don’t know
I just don’t know
Oh but at night it’s a different story
You’re the one I already know
Honey I ain’t waiting for you
I know you’ll come to me before you go again
Oh but at night it’s a different story
You’re the one I already know
Honey I ain’t waiting for you
I know you’ll come to me before you go again
Before you go, before you go again
You want love in a low way
I just can’t define it
You want love just as a get away
There’s nothing in you behind it
You want it all, you take it all the way
You can’t be reminded
That there’s a consequence
To indifference
Heading down the 95
Trying to ease your conscience
Gonna take more
than just a drive
Bottle’s more than halfway empty
Still alive but not for long yet
Gonna take the easy way
This time
Well we talked and cruised and compared our bruises
How come your story ain’t true
You give up and you make excuses
Yeah this time this song is for you
But I ain’t trying to wait around
Comes to you I lost my patience
I need no advice from some friend of mine
I can use my imagination
To see that
You’re still trying to waste my time
With this no win situation
It ain’t as hard
As it seems
No I ain’t trying to wait around
Comes to you I lost my patience
I need no advice from some friend of mine
I can use my imagination
To see that
You’re still trying to waste my time
With this no win situation
It ain’t as hard
As hard as it seems
It ain’t as hard
As hard as it seems
Tired in the morning
My head upon my knee
I tossed and I pined
But I can’t get no sleep
I couldn’t have tried
To make it more clear
I want you
Around me
In the afternoon
On the longest ride
We took the top down
And you let me drive
Everyone gets lonely
And we change our minds
I look to you
To see what I might find
My Darling, My Dear
I can hear you softly breathing
My Darling, My Dear
I need you to be nearer to me
I was your Botticceli
Your reflection in the mirror
And you were every answer
To my questions
Through the years
I was falling quickly
And although insincere
You fulfilled a purpose
And I let myself be yours
My Darling, My Dear
I can hear you softly breathing
My Darling, My Dear
I need you to be nearer to me
I’m just a button your trying to push
Your just a flag at the start of my search
Memory fades, it tames and it shades
Those love affairs that were all such a game
Just in vain
There’s no shame in it
My Darling, My Dear
I can hear you softly breathing
My Darling, My Dear
I need you to be nearer to me
Holdin’ on to letting go
One dream over just days ago
Melted as if sunlit snow
What was to be cannot be known
Old and new untrodden feelings
What to make there is no meaning
Anxious and yet comfortable
Helpless but still purposeful
Hold on stand next to me
Hold on to what’s meant to be
I’ll follow with intensity
Like fire in the night
Head up high, hang out below
Choose the seed that wants to grow
Give to them what they don’t know
You will not be denied
Get on up, go out and see
Come on home, come back to me
In the air and out of reach
It’s nice to be alive
Hold on, stand next to me
Hold on to what’s meant to be
I guide you with intensity
Like fire in the night
Head up high, hang out below
Choose the seed that wants to grow
Give to them what they don’t know
You will not be denied
Get on up, go out and see
Come on home, come back to me
In the air and out of reach
It’s nice to be alive
Hold on, stand next to me
Hold on to what’s meant to be
I’ll guide you with intensity
Like fire in the night
Hold on, stand next to me
Hold on to what’s meant to be
Enlightened our intensity
Will guide us through the night
Like fire in the night
Like fire in the night
Like fire in the night
I can tell from the look in your eyes
It’s comin’
Slowly now, you tiptoe around
I’m waiting
I can feel like a breath on my neck
A brush of your hand and I know what comes next
It’s so strange that I can feel the pain
It’s so close now
I fall down, your hands ‘round my throat
I’m so heavy
It’s getting cold and I don’t have a coat
And I’m lonely
I was young but that’s all over now
The hours have turned and it’s soured somehow
You were there when I took my last breath
And it’s yours now
I can tell from the look in your eyes
It’s comin’
Slowly now, you tiptoe around
I’m waiting
I was young but that’s all over now
The hours have turned and it’s soured somehow
You were there when I took my last breath
And it’s yours now
Donne-moi
Donne-moi ta main
Marche avec moi
Dans la rue étoilée
Et dis-moi
Une histoire de ta vie
Mais ne dis pas, je t’en prie, non
Ne dis pas tes secrets
Dans la nuit
Dans la tranquillité
Du soir
Nous sommes seuls
Dis-moi, dis-moi
Que tu ne pense qu’à moi
Dis-moi, dis-moi
Que tu m’aimes
Dans la nuit
Dans la tranquillité du soir
Nous sommes seuls
Dis-moi, dis-moi
Que tu ne pense qu’à moi
Dis-moi, dis-moi
Que tu m’aimes
Well I’ve been thinking about it
And you don’t care to say the least
I been thinking all about it
And it’s important to me
You come down on me
You come down and hit the floor
Lately I’ve been thinking ‘bout it
Baby I want something more
When you get lonely is
The time when I come to your mind
But when I need a friend
Baby you’re so hard to find
You come down on me
I’m so down all the time
And I can’t forget about you baby
But I’ve gotta draw the line
The moon will rise
Sure as the sunsets
Sure as you’ll be on my mind
And you still won’t love me
Like you didn’t
The whole time
Well I’ve been thinking about it
And you don’t care this I can see
I’ve been thinking about
And it’s important to me
You come down on me
I’m so down all the time
And I can’t forget about you baby
But I’ve got to draw the line
The moon will rise
Sure as the sunsets
Sure as you’ll be on mind
And you still won’t love me
The way you didn’t
The whole time
The moon will rise
Sure as the sunsets
Sure as you’ll be on mind
And you still won’t love me
The way you didn’t
The whole time
Little waterfall
Crying just a bit each time
I don’t get close to you
How I wish I could be someone to you
Walking out the door
On the Congress street just twirling
My little parasol
Through the glass I know you see me
I’ve gone away
And you never knew my name
No you’ll never catch this train I’m on
I’m gone
I’m gone
Gone
Am I in a cloud
I may as well be underground
The way your gaze just slips away
Find a mirror and fix my face
Strolling down the tracks
Something’s coming just ahead
But I’m not tied to anyone
Clouds are rising making shapes
I’ve gone away and you never knew my name
No you’ll never catch this train I’m on
I’m gone
I’m gone
Gone
I’ve gone away and you never knew my name
No you’ll never catch this train I’m on
I’m gone
I’m gone
Gone
Mornings I look up and gaze
Sunlight beaming from your face
Evenings with you love I know
They’ll be hummingbirds outside our window
Light of life I didn’t know
Give me strength I couldn’t show
All of you is all I know
I’m blown into your time
Long they last the times gone past
When I was bound to be your lass
Love me as I live for you
As our world spins on so fast
And you’re always, always on my mind
Always, always on my mind
Always, always always
Always only all the time
Always, always on my mind
Existential me and you
We see things from different views
Look at me sometimes askew
But we always fall in line
Every breath and every graze
I find myself to be amazed
Here’s the one and here’s the sun
I feel it turning ‘round us
And you’re always, always on my mind
Always, always on my mind
Always, always always
Always only all the time
Always, always on my mind
My love
Always, always on my mind
Always, always on my mind
Always, always always
Always only all the time
Always, always on my mind
My love
Doucement
Ma vague
Sans souci ni peine ni peure
Je suis tranquil dans ma mer
Doucement
Ma vague
Sans souci ni peine ni peure
Je suis tranquil dans ma mer
Doucement
Ma vague
Sans souci ni peine ni peure
Je suis tranquil dans ma mer
Doucement
Ma vague
Sans souci ni peine ni peure
Je suis tranquil dans ma mer
Petit poisson de ma vie
Maintenant je suis accomplie
Doucement
Ma vague
Sans souci ni peine ni peure
Je suis tranquil dans ma mer
Doucement
Ma vague
Sans souci ni peine ni peure
Je suis tranquil dans ma mer
Lie for you
I’d lie down and tell your story
Lie with you
Because you tell the truth
Laugh at you
And I laugh at you because you need me
Tell me true
Does it empty you or fell your feelings
I fall through
Fall through every crack and mirror
I am you
On the other side
You see true
Though we are as such divided
Call me blue
When I feel myself so much alive
Silly man that ran away
Tortured soul with hell to pay
You’ll be on your on your own so long
From now until tomorrows
Icy breeze, the desert air
On your own, now comes the fear
Once you thought that you were scared
And now you really know it
So I stand for you
Oh lovely who comes to my rooms
I share with you
My dreams, my designs
I care for you
As I care for all the human races
Baby you’re a fool
Don’t allow time to waste away
Silly man that ran away
Tortured soul with hell to pay
You’ll be on your on your own so long
From now until tomorrows
Icy breeze, the desert air
On your own, now comes the fear
Once you thought that you were scared
And now you really know it
Give it and take it away
Give it and take it away
Is it fraught as it seems
That our deaths are but living dreams
Given and taken away
Imagine a scene where you wash up on a shore
Much to more you don’t know what it means
Was it a god who decided where you’ll reside
When waves crash you into forever more
Give it and take it away
Give it and take it away
Is it fraught as it seems
That our deaths are but living dreams
Given and taken away
Imagine a scene where you wash up on a shore
Much to more you don’t know what it means
Was it a god who decided where you’ll reside
When waves crash you into forever more…forever more…
Give it and take it away
Give it and take it away
Is it fraught as it seems
That our deaths are but living dreams
Given and taken away
Imagine a scene where you wash up on a shore
Much to more you don’t know what it means
Was it a god who decided where you’ll reside
When waves crash you into forever more
Gimme little reason to hide boy
Gimme little reason to hide
You gimme little reasons to run and hide
Gimme little reason to hide
My eyes were red
And you wore blue
I know me
But who are you
I think it’s time that I knew you knew
Now it’s a reckonin’ time
Silly little kitty on a long way home
With an alley cat thinking it’s a walking me home
Barely there and hardly scared
I can tell you I’m-a knowing what’s wrong
Gimme little reason to hide boy
Gimme little reason to hide
You gimme little reasons to run and hide
Gimme little reason to hide
I saw the loveliest town
I would’ve hoped they wouldn’t wanna bring me down
They thought I was unknown
Wanted me to go
Wanna go back home
All night as I walked around
Looking for somebody that was safe and sound
Who are you and what do I do
I giggled and he took me down the long road
Down
Baby said
Baby said
Baby said she must have took the long way home
‘Cause she told you she’d be back by two
But I guess she kinda wanted some time alone
Baby said
Baby said
Baby said she must have took the long way home
‘Cause she told you she’d be back by two
But I guess she kinda wanted some time alone
Still life
Of the moonlight
Fading bright
Under shade of night
You’ll try
But in vain
To search for meaning
You’ll die
But these moments
Will keep fleeting
Don’t cry
You don’t know
What’s on the other side
Don’t lie
To yourself
You might miss
What was designed for you
You and I
Rotting fruits and falling sands of time
More than life
More than meaning
undefined
The space it takes
To make mistakes
The love you ache for
The things you hate
All these will soon evaporate
Forever gone
Disintegrated
You must try
With an open mind
Don’t be too sure
Don’t be unkind
Nothing is mine
I cannot stop time
No one gets high enough
Above the world
To make it stop turning
Oh my Shoo
What would you do
When you run out the door
And I don’t see you any more
Oh my truth
I take care of you
I know you need to move
But it leaves this girl
So much confused
You run around and you don’t care
I search for you everywhere
Just ‘till you get cold and scared
Then I find you at my stairs
You look at me with some despair
You’d be lost if I were there
Here I am to brush your hair
Here’s my bed to warm you
Oh my Shoo
What will you do
I can’t help but worry
Though I know you don’t mean to be cruel
I’m a fool
To think that I could change you
We come from a different kind
But here am I and love is blind
You run around and you don’t care
I search for you everywhere
Just ‘till you get cold and scared
Then I find you at my stairs
You look at me with some despair
You’d be lost if I were there
Here am I to brush your hair
Here’s my bed to warm you
You run around and you don’t care
I search for you everywhere
Just ‘till you get cold and scared
Then I find you at my stairs
You look at me with some despair
You’d be lost if I were there
Here am I to brush your hair
Here’s my bed to warm you
