Ae fond kiss, and then we sever; Ae fareweel, alas, for ever! Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee, Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee! Who shall say that Fortune grieves him While the star of hope she leaves him? Me, nae cheerfu' twinkle lights me...

At the kiss of the tide won't you lay by my side feel it turning Instead of dwelling on our death won't you come and share my breath feel it burning behind a white wood door is a mattress on the floor where we are lovers Tonight is the last time i get to hold...

Trust you know what I am Do you trust me? Give you all that I can If you let me The world is stretching Like animal skin Want to keep you warm But we are so thin Working working We try to begin Again and again and again and again I think we're thinking the sa...

Last night I dreamt that I was a bird Lift with the wind, long black wings would unfold. But when I dared to look down to the ground, to the ground I felt my bones grow Heavy and cold, oh oh Why do I shake so? I cannot fall. Last night I dreamt that I...

This is a love song for the black hole, These are our last remaining words before we lose all self control, The fish are ringing off the hook, and there's a caller on the line singin' reel em in, reel em in, reel em in, they're all mine. Its a scary place to...

You will not give in says the soul to the skin Now give me those animal thoughts you've been hiding. Rise from the bed take the heart from the head And ask if she really is broke. You'll find she doesn't speak, she was never broken; Always asleep, oh, and you...

If I could take this wave to sea, Do you think that we could sail out in the night, We must let no one know So maybe if we go, we'll go unseen, Passing below the ripples, heed the seashells of the storm, Chorus: And we'll swim, knowing they can't touch us, W...

You have undone me All it needed was a song A sudden somebody, someone You have been burning I've been melting into words Watching from the eyes of birds Don't fade before You reach the shore I want to see your face The summer shifts under He knows what I'm w...

Preparing flower she is faced with the man The ghost has laced a ribbon No amount of soul she's given She don't know what to give Sitting empty rooms together She wants to fit the shards together Find out what they lost when they lost him She fears she'll c...

I had a chocolate bar, the finest you could find It swallowed up my mind and I was free to find you. Keepers beckoned from their doors, Syrup glass, marshmallow floors but I slipped through the alleys wanting something more. Young girl I have something that y...

One day I'll be an old man You'll be an old girl And we'll walk the old dark Down by the sea Everything Changes I did not think I'd see you Not for a long time You were always busy And over the sea Everything Changes Everything Changes Everything Everything...

Funny thing, leaving You wish I could stay Funny thing is I never leave Even when I'm far away Strange thought, I got On hearing you say Strange thought as I'm not Beside you every day Good choice, this voice Now I feel okay Good choice to call you Now every...

I asked the old man about crossing the river "How much do you charge for the ferry boat?" He told us he wasn't a fisher He'd punt us across without asking But caution was there in his rowing "For love like this", he said, "don't ever float." We stood at the...

I've got a girl, so I'm never quite lonely. I've got a girl who looks just like the others. Who looks just like me. Fear jars you consider, harm scars skin reminder. Don't dare move a muscle when I'm talking to you. And she's talking now. She's the night vis...

It's been a long time now It's been a long time It's been a long time since someone's been looking for me I've been crouching in the hollow of this tree for so long I think they may have gone home Home Home It's been a long time now It's been a long time It's...

Lay oh Lay oh Lay oh in my arms Say oh Say oh a couple quiet charms To keep me sweet oh sweet oh While I fall asleep Heavy as clay I'm gonna lay heavy in your arms Was so free oh free oh Free as the wind blows Let's just see oh see oh where it goes Cuz we can...

You're a lost soul I know your kind For I have followed them But never quite found myself where You all go to lose yourselves Close my eyes not to ask for help But my mother knows my eyes too well. You're a truth speaker With a heart of gold Please keep me cl...

Head under water and you tell me To breathe easy for awhile The breathing gets harder, even I know that Made room for me, but it's too soon to see If I'm happy in your hands I'm unusually hard to hold on to Blank stares at blank pages No easy way to say thi...

Farewell to you my love, I'm closing my eyes. You'll let go this cold, cold hand in time. This chain around your neck must carry my stone. So I can feel your heart beat against my own. This veil will hide my voice from you and I'm Not sure how I'll talk t...

You are young, you do not know I wish you did not have to grow get so tall, and out of reach still I will keep the cradle oh so close and yet so far it's always just beginning Summer months golden days I'll be stood at my window. white noise and whitest sno...

I have pretended all this matters for too long. Gone and said this, this is all I ever wanted. It's a joke I'm not a sinner. It's a joke you ever heard. Come on don't tell me you believe that. A missionary came to town. He told us God don't care where you're...

I have made a mess, I know, there's nothing you can throw Last night I was one shadow trying to kill another Truth is that the wind will blow, and there's nothing we can do It's blowing me away from here and away from you I have dug a great big hole, I'm dang...

I pulled the plug, I travelled down the drainpipe. You'll find a note by the bath to say goodbye. And though they called my name, I flushed them from my senses These tunnels were vast, I sped by the rats to the sea. Oh, see; the stars alight for me As the sk...

Sleep baby sleep I don't mind if you leave; We will part in our dreams, let them come. I'll give you my skin But you can't have within; Hold me tight as you like. I will leave you when the day is done. Wake with the dawn Discover needles in my neck. Sleep it...

Balanced on the railway track I felt your eyes upon my back the London train moved swiftly Past to cover silent ground Darting through your shrouded woods Ignite your fire and douse my good Your smoky trail a path I'll suit I find myself alone I was dancing...

Deep deep down under mountains I have heard them call my name Will I play their little game and tell them Deep deep down I've been waiting for the fighting to begin Hold my hands up Deep sleep now, under skies of pressing dark upon my dress Watch it turn...

When you wake, I'll be by your side I'll be by your side, when you wake What you dream, I'd like to know I'd like to know what you dream Sitting here liking you What am I supposed to do Sitting here counting hands I've had some good romance Honestly, you...

You'll never please them For god sake, Jesus had to leave them All the people you have known Will not want to know you've grown And that will scare them Into living, into waking up alone We never saw them But we need no witnesses to know what's wrong All the...

This is the last time I get to call you mine, We never liked it anyway. Two birds returning to the sky. So sweet yet so bitter. So sweet yet so bitter. You wrote such a good letter. I have it by my bed, To read it makes me sad and glad. We both know it's be...

May I have the pleasure of your hand to lead this dance? Aware that you will tread upon my toes And in hopelessness I spin you And suddenly I’m lost Aware you tear the tethers of my skirt For I’ve was this hurt a few times And I’ve heard this band before And...

I cannot be with someone If someone wants just anyone I cannot just run, run, run My fingers through your hair I cannot be a half-way love Cooped up, thin, a dirty dove Wait each night to fit the glove Drink another bottle of Wine, sweet wine Might make you...
