Waiting by the bonfire, taking it easy We're all alone as the sun comes up behind us Taking in the gunfire, starting to count down Wait till you're seven, six feet underground We run, we fight We're strong and light like feathers in the wind Your heart's gr...

Darling I know what you see Close your eyes and blame it all on me Darling I know what you feel It drives me mad, it seems so unreal There's a black crow sitting on your doorstep He wants to feel alone Darling, there's no use to fear the weary moments Or to...

I sit here watching longing for your touch and come on over only if time knew why, only if you were mine come on over why won't you why don't you come won't you try to come on over all this time waiting all those nights wondering come on over today's the...

You're walking like a drunk, a yearning dog desirable looks don't satisfy narrow lanes are scared of you when you're seeking for your own hitchhiking girl without a trace you disappear in darkness drawling soft words and fade away no one follows you into dar...

Your voice soft as a down feather making polyphonic prose's the wind blows all your words together a story of white roses I reach towards a clever face I scowl and squint my eyes this ain't no real face a liberal illusion bring some feathers for me 'cause I a...

I'm writing on your front door Where I have waited before Your green eye is peeking Through the keyhole striving for the right words I am drawing a story of what, What is right? You're smoothing all the wrinkles we've left behind I move to see you Sneaking...

Wait and see there's a place in the breeze It's holding out for you If stones can fly make a change, turn the seas Then they can lift you too I cannot stave off your frost but I'll hold you like no one does I don't have to win your war ‘cause I love every s...

Genet, is it still ok I want to know what you thought, fight what you fought See how you saw Or is it all just piffle stuffed with the riffle of your dreams All that we see or seem: letters on letters from the old machine You're the real go-getter I believe...

Take my hand and go take this song that's all take my eyes and drawl take my mind and write it to me all take my heart and may it serve you as well as it did me take my wounds and bleed take all that you need it's here that I give you all it's here that I w...

Holding on to bridges waking up beside you I'm waiting wondering through the window morning dew tears are breaking everybody's thinking is she gonna leave in black and blue holding on to everything that's pulling me away from you all those stories all I rea...

You walk the walk today, you talk the talk You feel the bitterness that surrounds the art You hear the tenderness in which they harm, and dance along the dance You smile at their smile They feed upon your dreams, they warm to your skin Another round has come...

Well come on, and step a little closer Bend your head like you do me a proposal I like it when you read between the lines These little black dots don't lie I say nothing The sun is moving all around Leaving bloodstains on the ground I must run, to bandage its...

There in a blink of an eye I see you struggling on a wire closer, I come closer I tried so hard to resist but you pulled me back in, grabbed my wrist while the water boiled over Jonah I dont belive we need to hide behind concrete walls wallowing away on open...

You know, it's been a long time Coming and a long time gone Hey, am I still in there It's been a long time since I've heard myself sound like me Hey, where have I been It's been a long time since I've seen myself around here You know, it's been a...

I took a trip one day some day just to get away from the night and day I fell between the lights I didn't realise one man can harm another with both hands in his pocket I fell asleep one day some day just to dream away swing in to the morning sun and hear th...

Come on out and play The need will hunt you anyway Come on out and see I sure could use the company Come on out and leave Your old dreams and the inner slave Come on out and live Cause before you know you'll get stiffed He said he must run Don't like the vo...

Being happy is a satisfaction being sick is the worst thing that can happen making a statement is being different and if you're different that would mean you're not a part working is living for a future the future is something sweet and nice colored and if y...

Black bird your ears are wired You want to sing along Move on, go fly a little higher while you're still young Over dunes, green grass, I will run like I'm wild I won't stop because I'm tired Strange, darling I'm a stranger in your eyes Rivers bend along wh...

There's always some one else, I'm sure, some one stronger Never done what's asked of me, Bluffed in and sneaked back out The people around me try to help But it's hard to accept That the world you make is the one you see And I'll always disagree My weakness...

We're walking in the woods a labyrinth of green and brown branches built up so close as fairy stairs to heaven our thoughts were somewhere strangled between the leaves and they would meet under a big wise oak he said, don't be scared, don't push too hard on...

There ain't no sunshine in the middle of the night there ain't no teardrop in the middle of this fight I see the clock keep ticking on the hours pass while my mind is not done picture frames of crime scene flash before my eyes, across my eyelashes wait in de...

September I've been riding on a fast train towards the cold, cold september rain We are going through a small lane and the walls conjure up the pain I've been sucking up a heart-ache. Give me time to loosen up the breaks The chill on your soft skin, step by...

Kids around here, are hiding you know today we are useless and tomorrow we know aiming for something that we aught to see beware what you wish for there's two sides to everything I'm trying a new way gone with the sin the rest is forsaken slow shedding of sk...

The road is a graveyard for tiers like myself The road is a fine line where two things collide And if you and if you and if I then we can be found I'm a lonely woman, I This road is lonesome I wish I'd left when I was young The girl and her blank page riding...

Can I borrow your hand to hold it when i'm drifting away from the land a relic as a friend be a man and run, as hard as you can Can i borrow your strengt to wake up each morning with a smile on my face tell myself I'm free be a man and run, as far as you can...

There's a little place by the weeping willows at the lake every now and then I come to look at the beauty of it some will say that it's gods place in the trees but I believe that it's your place and your responsibility here you are all by yourself making a m...

Haven't we all got something to say Be there be one in your kindest way Weigh in weigh out where to begin There was a time we didn't need to fit in There was a time we didn't want to fit in Don't we have only our selves to blame? Nothing to lose and nothing...
