I could pretend that I was ok I wind around the parties, drink in hand I could pretend when you went away That I had changed and I no longer hear the band But I won't lie I found a love I had to rediscover I was emotionally scarred we could not get it...

So young for death, We walk in shoes too big But you play it like a poet, Like you always did. And I lay face upturned on the palm of God, Pushed on by the fingertips of dreams, They haunted me, Consoling me. And I would like to call, call it beauty, Strained...

Here in some stranger's room, Late in the afternoon, What am I doing here at all? Ain't no doubt about it, I'm losing you, Somehow the wires have crossed, Communication's lost, Can't even get you on the telephone, Just got to shout about it, I'm losing you,...

Just like a star across my sky, Just like an angel off the page, You have appeared to my life, Feel like I'll never be the same, Just like a song in my heart, Just like oil on my hands, Oh.. I do love you, Still i wonder why it is, I don't argue like this, Wi...

Oh oh oh, oh ooh oh, oh oh ooh Well she's walking through the clouds With the circus mind that's running around Butterflies, and zebras, and moonbeams, and fairy tales Riding with the wind. When I'm sad, she comes to me With a thousand smiles She gives to me...

Oh Father, I wish I had understanding Never known more, never been so well informed We know the score, heard it all before But I've never felt more powerless So much blood on the streets So much hope refused So much grainy teenage photographs On the evening n...

Breakfast at Mickey's, make-up still on Elbows on the greasy table cloth One more coffee and one last cigarette Smiling at the rain cause you hold me close My best dress on underneath this old coat Walking down Bleecker no one is awake yet Still, seven hours...

Sometimes when I close my eyes I see your face and I see mine Warm as the sun I don’t know if I’m waking or sleeping I don’t know if I’m thinking or dreaming I just follow the sun Sometimes when I’m in the dark The thought of you is a tiny spark Keeps...

Three little birds, sat on my window. And they told me I don't need to worry. Summer came like cinnamon So sweet, Little girls double-dutch on the concrete. Maybe sometimes, we got it wrong, but it's alright And nothing seems to change, and it all will stay t...
