So Far
04:39
|
|||
Gone are the days when we shared the same hours
Now temporal madness prevails.
Travellers at sea when we met
With new aural concepts as the wind in our sails.
Now we’re both so far,
Our ships have sailed apart,
I know you had to go, but oh,
So far my heart swoons and keels.
The depths of the sea couldn’t conceal
The love that I feel
But you’re so far.

Drinking Coffee
04:28
|
|||
The coffee at the bottom of my cup is cold and bitter
But I choke it down and hope the hurt gets swallowed on the way.
I keep the cup pressed to my lips even though it’s empty
And I hold it very still until the trembling goes away.
But I don’t know why I try to hide these feelings,
And I don’t why I try to hide this pain
‘Cause even though you’re right across the table from me, darling,
I could wail and I could shout,
I could let myself cry out,
You’d go on drinking coffee and never ask me to explain,
Oh you’d go on drinking coffee and never ask me to explain.
I often think of packing up a bag and walking out
And never turning back to see if you put up a fight
But our baby boys they have your eyes and how could mama tell them,
“Your daddy never tread me wrong, but he never treat me right.”
So I go on trying to hide all these feelings
And I go on trying to hide all this pain
But even though you’re right across the table from me, darling,
I could wail and I could shout,
I could let myself cry out,
You’d go on drinking coffee and never ask me to explain.
So I go on trying to hide all these feelings
And I go on trying to hide all this pain
But even though you’re right across the table from me, darling,
I could wail and I could shout,
I could let myself cry out,
You’d go on drinking coffee and never ask me to explain,
Oh you’d go on drinking coffee and never ask me to explain,
Oh you’d go on drinking coffee and never ask me to explain.

Here We Go Again
04:31
|
|||
We go 'round like a carousel,
A never-ending ride that seems to spin forever and ever, my love.
Together we turn like the tangled stars above.
Here we go again,
One minute our hearts are light, the next,
They are full of heartache and sadness.
The world outside goes whirling past
And the ride keeps twirling fast.
Here we go again.

Watching
05:53
|
|||
I watch you
With my mind,
Thoughts and feelings intertwined.
I watch you
With my eyes,
I watch you take of your disguise.
But who is watching me
When I am watching you?
Can someone see the light from my room?
I watch you
With my heart,
Feels like we've never been apart.
I watch you
With my bones
And deep inside I am at home.
But who is watching me
When I am watching you?
Can someone see the light from my room?
I watch you
With my breath,
You haven't seen me watching yet,
Now I'm as close as I can get,
You sit alone awaiting death.

Just Say The Word
04:12
|
|||
Just say the word
And I'll pack my bag,
Just a change of clothes
Is all I'll need.
Just say the word
And I'll hit the road,
You'll wake up laying next to me.
Just say the word
And I'll come today,
Catch the quickest train
From this old town.
Just say the word
And I'll find a way,
Just tell me you need me around.
You always had such a way with words,
Poems in your smile,
And though there are miles between us,
I'll be right there if you should sigh.
Just say the word
And I'll soon be near,
Just your sweet caress
Is all I'll need.
Just say the word,
That you love me, dear,
And promise that you'll wait for me.

Just As We Are
03:34
|
|||
Can we stay just as we are?
Young and foolish and free.
No house, no car,
Just twinkling stars.
I'm sure that you'll agree,
We should stay just as we are,
Just you and me.
Can we stay just as we are?
No cares or troubles of woes,
No tiny tots,
No marriage knots.
I think you'll plainly see,
We should stay just as we are,
Just you and me.
We make such a pair,
We match like a new pair of shoes,
Why go spoil it all
With a pair of "I Do's?"
Can we stay just as we are?
Our love still shiny and new.
No fuss, no fights,
Staying up all night
Whisp'ring dreamily,
We should stay just as we are,
Just you and me.

Canary
04:25
|
|||
Canary,
Little yellow feathered friend,
I long to hear your song again,
The one you sang when love was new,
Before the heartache silenced you.
Canary,
Tiny yellow warning sign,
I took you down into the mine,
Your singing kept me company.
Thank God I had you there with me.
You were all that I could see
In the air, I never saw the danger there.
Canary,
Your life a selfless, sad affair,
Your flame was quenched and I was spared.
You changed my bitter destiny.
In death you brought new life to me.

It’s easy as 1 - 2 - 3, baby,
So follow along and see.
Just think about do - re - mi, baby,
When learning this melody
It’s easy as 1 - 2 - 3, baby
So follow along and see.
Just think about do - re - mi, baby.
It’s easy as 1 - 2 - 3.

Have we been in love before?
My heart aches when our eyes meet.
You're a stranger but I can't speak.
Have we been in love before?
Have we ever kissed before?
I'm at home in your smile,
Like I've lived there for a while.
Have we ever kissed before?
You remind me of someone I loved,
Someone who broke my heart.
Your laugh is the same and you act just the same,
I must know before we part,
Have we been in love before?
I could swear I used to want you.
Can't believe I had to lose you.
Have we been in love before?

Don't Go
03:43
|
|||
Don’t go,
I need you now more than you know.
Although you've made it
Perfectly clear that we're through,
I know it's true,
But I can't even cry without you
So hold me tight
One last time through the night
And leave with the morning hue
But while the lights are low,
Don’t go.

There's Only You
03:23
|
|||
Me and my baby,
Under the sky so blue,
There's nobody else in the world,
There's only you.
A crowded evening,
Out on the avenue,
Nobody could ever compare,
There's only you.
Maybe one should try
To catch my eye,
They can shout and cry
You're my one guy.
So say you love you
And you'll always be true,
Say you'll be the light in my heart
There's only you.
