- Anything New
You put a veil up when you took all your things underground
You covered your own footprints
So no one saw you hide
You heard me treading in the shadows of the sycamore
You turned to me and you said
"I will learn nothing from you"
I tried to keep my distance as you changed your face again
You fake your direction
- Excuses
How was I supposed to know?
You didn't tell me they were gold
I didn't smell the coming snow
And now they're ruined by the cold
How was I supposed to share?
You didn't tell me they were fair
I didn't see them going spare
And now they're buried over there
- Feeling
Feeling like you shouldn't mess
With the timing
Feeling like you're dead when the night comes
Feeling like you shouldn't negotiate
Feeling like you're drowning too often
Feeling like you can't touch the bottom
Wouldn't it be wise to just cry for help?
You suffer with sophistication
- jealous of roses
you make remarks about the people
who walk past your window
arm in arm
you're even jealous of the roses
that grow in the garden of the house
where nobody lives
you even say there's a time and a place
- light seep
How will I know that you'll save me?
Your little hands are getting shaky
It is time to let the light seep
From behind your eyes
Then I'll know my night survives
Do you know I crave to hold ya?
My hands and lips are getting colder
And every night I let your light slip
- mr and mrs compost
Succulent, ready to be twisted off,
The leaves are warm and the stones are hot,
The distant houses seem to melt with the vast open glowing air,
The almost steaming ragged wood of the oak trunks and the sweating
walk,
The ease of the wagging boughs,
Layering wavering shadows.
- Petals
To see age in a flower
The dawns are speeding up
You know it'll hurt you
Feel all of a sudden
Tired and teary-eyed
You knew it'd kill you
Don't wear a tie that'll choke you
To death in the city
- Pretentious
You pretend that you pretend
You don't know that you know that you don't know that
You pretend that you pretend
You try hard to fake faking your smile
Hiding your hiding place in your own home
You will lie that you lie about lying
You pretend that you pretend
- The Palm Of Your Wave
Hoping this train gets lost on the way here
To lengthen the wait, to stretch out the day longer
The night is so cold, the wind cuts us both stronger
Oh, this moment
Just be forever
My fingers and toes have no feeling to hold, oh
- When She Laughs
When she laughs
The piano in the hall
Plays a quiet note
Waterfalls
Turning gentle into rough
Then gentle again
Morning dew
Washes yesterday's garden
