FLAME TURNS BLUE
I went looking for someone I left behind Yeah but no-one just
a stranger did I find I never noticed hadn't seen it as it grew
the void between us where the flame turns blue different places
yeah but they all look the same dreams of faces in the streets
devoured by names I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
and blind ambition where the flame turns blue words dismantled
hey and all the books unbound conversations though we utter
not a sound I heard a rumour don't know if it's true that you'd
meet me where the flame turns blue so I venture underneath the
leaden sky see the freight train with its one fierce eye and
then I listen as it tears the night in two and a whistle and
the flame turns blue In the morning I will sing In the morning
I will sing Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light break
in splinters on the pages where I write that if I lost you I
don't know what I'd do burn forever where the flame turns blue
yeah if I lost you I don't know what I'd do burn forever where
the flame turns blue In the morning I will sing In the morning
I will sing In the morning I will sing In the morning I will
sing
TWILIGHT SONG
Watch 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've never
been when you lead me by my hand into the flame Just the rain
now on my hat In 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 made of stone
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 through the ring to the soil of everything
throw my heart out on the stones and I'm almost gone and now
I'm dreaming I'm staring at the walls at cars all frozen now
in late night winterfalls and through the water through the
ring to the soil of everything throw my heart out on the stones
and I'm almost gone IF
YOUR LOVE IS REAL
these 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 spend a long time now,
persuading myself that I don't need no-one, nobody else that
I'd felt all there was to feel 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 till I know if your love is real till I know
if your love is real spend a long time now, persuading myself
that I don't need no-one, nobody else that I felt all there
was to feel know if I should live one hundred years I'll never
see another face like yours 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 eyestalking with
the lights on 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 it 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 tidal wave
FALLING DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE (FOR STEPHEN)
Without a word, you set your sights into the sun when all the
world, you put to rights still is so wrong Pin your heart out
on your sleeve spouting all that make believe from your lips
it seems they might come true falling down the mountainside
with you The clothes you wore, the people stared you looked
so strange to see you move, ? 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, it's like i always knew I'd be falling
down the mountainside with you falling down the mountainside
with you falling down the mountainside with you falling down
the mountainside with you
JANUARY RAIN
--instrumental--
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
A CLEAN PAIR OF EYES
Hear me god I'm on the level mapping silence seeing thingscrying
laughing like the devil and before the might of all that's seen
I'll raise my head and wake to dream anew 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 wake to 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
anew 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 unnamed
I'll raise my head and dream again dream again dream again dream
again dream again
