Flame Turns Blue
I went looking for someone I left behind,
Never no-one, just a stranger did I find,
I hadn't noticed, never seen it as it grew
The void between us when the flame turned blue.
Different places but they all look much the same,
Fields of faces in the streets devoured by name,
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw,
And blind ambition as the flame turns blue.
Words dismantled in all the books about it,
Conversations where we'd utter not a sound,
I heard a rumour, I don't know if it's true,
That you'd meet me when the flame turns blue.
Ah now!
So I venture underneath the lemon sky,
See the freight train with it's one fierce eye,
And then I listen as it takes the night into,
With a whistle, where the flame turns blue.
In the morning I will sing...., x 2
To the lemon trees, the diamonds of light,
Moving splinters on the pages without lies.
And if I lost you, don't know what I'd do,
Burn forever, 'till the flame turns blue.
Yeah if I lost you, don't know what I'd do,
Burn forever, 'till the flame turns blue.
In the morning I will sing................... x 2
Twilight
Wash the twilight from my head
Hanging on a brighter thread
Little darling, till I see you once again
Tell the man to fill my cup
Honey I ain't gonna stop
Little darling, till I see you once again
Pinch me if i'm dreaming
I'm somewhere I'll never be when
You lead me by the hand into the flame
Just the rain now on my hat
And the past what use is that
Little darling till I see you once again
Na na na na, na na na...
Hold On
Hold on, Hold on to me,
Hold on, Hold on to me,
Sometimes there's no easy way,
Got to cause somebody pain
Watching you, you hit so hard on yourself
Cos you need someone to blame.
Oh Now, what will you do,
Oh Now, what will you do,
Can't help the way you're feeling
Don't want to leave him so alone
Lisa cries, her red hair streaming down
Feels like her heart is mad of stone
Chorus..
As I'm Leaving
As I'm leaving, a change comes on my eyes,
these streets persuading me with mumbles strange goodbyes
And through the water through the ring to the soil of everything,
throw my heart out on the stones and I'm almost gone
And there's no meaning in clothes and coffee cups,
cheap hotel furniture where silence never stops
And through the water...
And now I'm dreaming I'm staring at the walls
At cars all frozen now in late night winterfalls
And through the water...
If your love is real
Few days spent staring at your photograph
read your letter, made me laugh
but there's a shadow on the path
till I know if your love is real
Cause its not as if a lot was said
falling in and falling out of bed
but now the world's turned on its head
till I know if your love is real
Spent a long time now, persuading myself
that I don't need no-one, nobody else
but who I was I could conceal
I'm in a daydream now, I'm out to lunch
should it come down to the crunch
I'm wide open for that sucker punch
cause I know that my love is real
till I know that your love is real
Spent a long time now, persuading myself
that I don't need no-one, nobody else
that I felt all there was to feel
I know if I should live hundred years
I'll never see another face like hers
or stranger seas, or brighter shores
cause I know that my love is real
oh my heart
Tidal Wave
Ever since your fingertips, ever since your eyes
Talking with the light, oh bluer skies
Even if I wanted to, how could I explain
Coming through my Head now, this tidal wave
All your favourite eyelashes, all your bluest skin
Bring them and I'll meet you in, that room again
Even if I told you true, Why should they believe
Coming through my head now, this tidal wave, tidal wave
Coming over Waterloo, Dreaming of your hands
Want to run away now, foreign lands
Even as I lie with you, listen to you breathe
Coming through my head yeah, this tidal wave, tidal wave.
Falling Down the Mountainside
Without a word, You set your sights to the sun
When all the world, You put your rights are still so wrong
Pin your heart out on your sleeve
Spouting all that make-believe
From your lips, it seemed it might come true
Falling down the mountainside, With you
The clothes you wore, The people stared
You look so strange
To see you move, St Vitas dance, Was in your veins
Never once afraid to know
What it feels like when you go
Out beyond where logic keeps the view
Falling down the mountainside, With you
Falling down
If you were here, First thing I'd do
Is knock you down
You left me cold, To meet your ghost
All over town
So grind the stone
And spin the wheel
Lock the doors on what you feel
Looking back just like I always knew
Falling down the mountainside, With you
Falling down the mountainside, With you
Falling down the mountainside, With you
Falling down the mountainside, With you
Red Moon
Weighing that silver, there with your hands , In no position to make demands
got what you wanted oh very nice but every kiss must have a price
I'm gettin tired of being denied of sayin the same old things
and these tears ain't gonna mend these broken wings
red mood
All that I've witnessed hard to believe I can still find it in me to be so naive
Cry on your pillow into the night coz saying you're sorry won't make it right
I'm gettin tired of, being denied of things getting in my way
and if I'm quiet that's cos there's nothing left to say
and if I'm quiet that's cos there's nothing left to say
red moon red moon red moond red moon
Clean Pair of Eyes
Hear me god I'm on the level, mapping silence seeing things
crying laughing like the devil
and before the might of all that's seen, I'll raise my head and wake to dream
with a clean pair of eyes
Murdered gold and colours flashing, time like blood like flowing hair
Faces merging airplanes crashing
and before the might of all that's true, I'll raise my head and dream anew with a clean pair of eyes,
A clean pair of eyes don't need no-one to blame
Don't need no disguise no sugar to sweet my brain, a clean pair of eyes
Today I need no commentary, today I do not need to speak
no explanation necessary
and before the might of all that's seen, I'll raise my head and wake to dream with a clean pair of eyes
A clean pair of eyes don't need no right or wrong
don't need no disguise no sugar to fix my tongue a clean pair of eyes
Liquid air and flags that ripple a tambourine of smoking suns, love that blinds us fear that cripples
and before the might of all that's seen I'll raise my head and wake to dream
And before the might of all that's true I'll raise my head and dream anew
And before the might of all that's named I'll raise my head and dream again
dream again dream again dream again dream again
