This Mortal Coil

Utwory wykonawcy:

Alone

Alone, with too much generosity. A theatre mask of hostility attracts Assauts occur, infrequently And those who come, to conquer Need strength But damage accumulates Still mvoing him to tears Retain a sense of humor... 

Another day

The kettle's on, the sun has gone, another day She offers me, Tibetan tea, on a flower tray She's at the door, she wants to score, she really needs to say: "I once loved you a long time ago, you know Where the winds own forget-me-nots blow, you know...

Bitter And Sad

The half-moon is aching, bitter and sad. We are wet, we are stripped to the bone. It's out of our hands, the dream we're bound to dream. We are wet, always alone 

Carolyn's Song

I heard that you said that you feel all alone Do you think that they could understand When they told you go ahead Is it in your head are you upside down You drive around feeling sad And I wish you everything I ever said Do you understand, are you feeling...

Come here my love

This feeling has me spellbound. Yet the story line in paragraphs laid down the same. In fathoms of my inner mind I'm mistified, oh, by this mood. This melancholy feeling just don't do no good. Come here my love. And I will lift my spirits high for you. I'd lik...

Drugs

And all I see is little dots Some are smeared and some are spots Feels like a murder but that's alright Somebody said there's too much light Pull down the shade and it's alright It'll be over in a minute or two. I'm charged up...Don't put me down Don't...

Firebrothers

In the valley where the moon and lovers play. Lived two children who were born on Saturday. One was dark one was fair. Fathered by the dog, mothered by the pig. Stranger children you have never seen. Brothers of the forest and the sea. One was land one was air...

Fond affections

Fond affections are never said. They're only sung in songs. I never was naive enough to know when I was wrong. There's no light at the end of it all. Let's all sit down and cry. There's no light at the beginning. Let's all sit down and cry. Now it's time to s...

Holocaust

Your eyes are almost dead Can't get out of bed. And you can't sleep. You're sitting down to dress and you're a mess. You look in the mirror. You look in your eyes. Say you realise. Everybody goes leaving those who fall behind. Everbody goes as far as they can,...

I must have been blind

Here I am believing words again Here I am trying to find your love again Here I am down on my knees again Praying for a love we used to know Both of us know how hard it is to love and let it go Both of us know how hard it is to go on living that way But...

I want to live

I've gathered all my lifetime memories of you. My lusty sentiments they made life seem true. I'm rather selfish and I mean to be unkind. You can't imagine what it does to me inside. But where am I? I want to die. I want to live. I want to die. If I were someon...

Jeweller

The jeweler Has a shop On the corner of the boulevard In the night, In small spectacles, He polishes old coins He uses spit and cloth and ashes He makes them shine with ashes He knows the use of ashes He worships God with ashes The coins are often very old B...

Kangaroo

I first saw you. You had on blue jeans. Your eyes couldn't hide anything. I saw you breathing. And I saw you staring out in space. I next saw you, you was at a party. Though you was a queen, oh so flirty. I cam against. Didn't say excuse. You knew what I was d...

Late Night

When I woke up today And you weren't there to play Then I wanted to be with you When you showed me your eyes Whispered love at the skies Then I wanted to stay with you Inside me I feel, alone and unreal And the way you kiss will always be A very spec...

Morning glory

I lit my purest candle close to my window. Hoping it would catch the eye of any vagabond that passed it by. And I'm waiting in my fleeting house. Before he came, I felt him drawing near. As he neared, I felt the ancient fear. That he had come to wound my door...

Mr. Somewhere

Day comes up sicker than a cat Something's wrong that is that Mr. Somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much A boat from the river takes you out 'cross the other side of town, to get out, to get out You take the tide, any tide, any tide lik...

My father

My father always promised us that we would live in France. We'd go boating on the Seine and I would learn to dance. We lived in Ohio then. He worked in the mines. All his dreams, like boats we knew We'd sail in time. My sister's all grew up and went away, t...

Nature's way

It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong It's nature's way of telling you in a song It's nature's way of receiving you It's nature's way of retrieving you It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong It's nature's way of telling you summer bre...

Not me

It may be as you say. I'll admit. But you don't sound convinced. Between the surface you and the surface me. You didn't touch me. It may be as well that, I didn't see the point. You didn't touch me I suppose it's just hollow. No idea- no spark When I thought t...

Several Times

Several times I looked in your eyes Several times I saw you wishing to stop this Ways much longer than, than we could see before We started to walk Well, actually we tried to go forward and Several times I looked in your eyes Several times I saw you wis...

Song To The Siren

Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile 'Til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sang Sail to me, sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am, here I am Waiting to hold you Did I dream you dreamed about me ?...

Strength of strings

"Billy, Billy, we just had a baby" In my life the piano sings Brings me words that are not the strength of strings. Fiery rain and Ruby's cooling sun. Now I see that my world has only begun. Notes that roll on winds with swirling wings... Brings me words tha...

Tarantula

I'm living but I'm feeling numb. Can see it in my stare. I wear a mask so falsely numb and I don't know who I am. Despite the worlds inside of me thwarting me away. I've noticed in other eyes, time's closing in. But when the thunder breaks it breaks for you an...

With tomorrow

it was more like a dream than reality I must have thought it was a dream while you were here with me when you were near I didn't think you would leave when you were gone it was too much to believe so with tomorrow, I will borrow another moment of joy and sorro...
