You call a truce and then you start a fight You change your signals like traffic light 'Cause you're a hard one to know Around your heart you've tied a fishing line And you cast it out there just to see who bites 'Cause you're a hard one to know I toss...

I give him all my love That's all I do And if you saw my love You'd love him too I love him He gives my everything And tenderly The kiss my lover brings He brings to me And I love him A love like ours Could never die As long as I Have you near m...

It's bigger than love Brighter than all the stars combined It's dwarfing the sun Burning within my heart and mind I live with my memories The bustle and fervor of New York We're on 59th street We quarreled and broke the bathroom door 'Cause you were just dr...

Broken yolk in western sky My stomach turned, my mouth went dry And I knew I'd never know fear before I pressed my palms into the seat And with one last look at you next to me I kicked open the sliding door And I threw myself out on the road Torn flesh and br...

Every scream went bleeding through these paper walls and all the make-up in the world couldn't hide the scars I leave today, I'm packing light: a suitcase, some toiletries The rolling hills and willow trees of Carolina wait for me You never learned, the rule...

Burn down like old cathy candles Marked up with the choir vandals Reading: destroy destroy destroy Two-speed cycles streamered handles Evenings with the roman scandals I just want to be someone you know... 

He's been waking all through the night And pacing 'round in the moonlight 'Cause these same dreams won't let him be Their cameras photograph everything That he's been burying down beneath And show him what he don't wanna see He counts the hours creeping by Hi...

Duncan, where have you gone? It's been so, so long Has London broken your heart? It happen to the best of us Duncan, the most regal blood flows through you And there's someone for you to love Whom you will find in due time Do you feel like you don't r...

I can't begin to compete with you and everyone knows I know you know it, too. It's a complicated fear that grows with every year and it's walking on it's own finally All I can offer are farmer chords, these simple rhymes and you painted in words You can sing...

I'm building a fire to keep you warm long after I retire 'Cause this body is bound to expire tonight The embers will grow and remind you what you already know That the night is only a temporary absence of light In the morning you'll wake with the ashes of a...

Lady Adelaide shows no emotion Colder than a wave in the Arctic Ocean She waited all her years for those 3 words That never reached her ears They just went unheard Porcelain and frail, slender shoulders A breeze of gusty gale could knock her over She knew a h...

Oh, woe why do you stay And make me feel this awful way? You filled my heart with your solemn tune And an endless burning blush hue It's been a basement of a year And all I want is for you to disappear But oh, woe you caught my eye And I thought that I'd giv...

In London it's raining but I'm not complaining as I walk in the grey afternoon And under my umbrella I sing a cappella this melancholy whimsical tune And I hope you can hear me in dreams be near me as you sleep an ocean away And know that I love you, my every...

It's always summer in this Southern state Where I'm behind the moon floating in space But I'm not in hiding, just trying not to be found So when I hear my name I ever turn around Here in the valley they live in their cars As they dream of fields under ocean o...

Teardrop windows crying in the sky He is all alone and wondering why Ivory white but feeling kinda blue 'Cause there's no one there to share the view There's too many vacancies He's been feeling oh so empty And when the sun sets over the sound He just goes to...

1, 2, 3, 4 You remind me of home The paint cracks when the water leaks From the rusty pipes that are just beneath my feet You remind me of home The heaters warm, that fills the room With a of potpouri of dust and gas fumes You remind me of home A broken bed,...
