. . .


chasing the night
to make it right
oh and you had it
caught like a rabbit

told you to wait
but it's too late
you got your man
rinsing him down

turning your head
to mine instead
gave me the eyes
burning like light

. . .


one spur in the fire, burning
now we're clearing the embers away
there are many ways this way
so I tell you like you're meant to
and you're quick to guess my choice
was it my trembling hand or my voice?

she said you're stirring
tossing, turning
just like you would in the night
I am sure your choice is right

I've always been a coward
been a coward to this day
there are many ways this way
and your fortune taken from you
by men that always say
there are many ways this way

. . .


It's that ancient love, that you won't outgrow
It's the fee you pay, it's the debt you owe
It's that subtle way that you throw me down
And I'm inches above the dust on the ground

I await your call, I await your crown
Let's change our roads, and chase them all around
It's that subtle way that you throw me down
and I'm inches above the dust on the ground

And all is quiet, all is quiet now
And all is silent, all is silent now
Now I don't hide it, I don't hide it now

It's that ancient love, that just moves along
There's an itch so slight, even when you're gone
Well I met you right, but I kept you wrong
And I must wait until I've found the ground that you are walking on

And all is quiet, all is quiet now
And all is silent, all is silent now
Now I don't hide it, I don't hide it now
Now I don't hide it, I don't hide it now

. . .


waking sitting up right
cant explain the sunlight
wondering why your not home
*something something* beside you
left before you tried to work out all the unknowns

blame it all on me when
i forget to defend
everything that we worked out
something in her wording
*something something* searching
for what memory found

thought it stopped just as it start
but that is not what you are

you're a layer on my clothes
made of ivy and gold

meet me in the hallway
bite your lip with icing
never have you left my mind
stop and think it over
smiling moving closer
oh what delicate time

blame it all on my when
i forget to defend
everything that we worked out
something in her wording
guess she was just searching
for some knowledge or sound

thought it stopped just as it starts
but that is not what you are

your a layer on my clothes
made of ivy and gold

. . .


Now your back's to the road
The waiting's everything you know
I'm sure you know that I'm leaving

Riding home everyday
Sure in a cinematic way
Breathing the smoke of the train
Keep the side of you aflame
I'm sure you know that I'm leaving

Curse God for my regret
I miss you indefinite
Not once did I think that
Love would stay til I come back

Now your back's to the road
The waiting's everything you know
I'm sure you know that I'm leaving

. . .


If you want ride a rainbow come with me
I will take you in a magic purple
Maybe we will find a thousand sugar fish
And when you eat them they will grant your every wish

And if you want your friends to come then bring them all along

If you want to catch a star then walk my way
I will take you where the night is always day
You can follow me if you really try
Maybe we will find a rainbow, teach it to fly

And if you want your friends to come then bring them all along

Bow your head and let your eyelids close on down
Where we're going you won't need to bring your frown
You will find that all the things that I have said
Will come true when you are lying in your bed

And if you want your friends to come then bring them all along

. . .


All of the voices
Spelling it out
Where are the plans you're thinking about

Rest him assured
It comes overnight
Writing it down and tearing it up

If I could tell you
Gradually
Word by word, you'd take it from me

It would be over
Instantly
Landing us where you thought we would be

. . .


Old dust, old dirt, they're mine and only mine
I'm just some (?), you are so divine
You control the game without playing it right

Raise high in me what ones did sink below
All dark within now radiantly glows
Come on take me back all that time ago

Our love was just one of your discarded jewels
You think back to it's price and oh you feel a fool
But in that certain light, it looks so beautiful

. . .


All the highs are downwards
All your fumble words are spent
Paying no attention
To the thoughts of your dear friend

No point louder
The sound of my power
Sink in deeper
Further each hour
My God

When our flower's fading
When our stem begins to fold
I will take off quietly
Like a bird that flees the cold

No point louder
The sound of my power
Sink in deeper
Further each hour
My God (x7)

. . .

Flaws

[No lyrics]

. . .


If you want to come on down
Down with your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains pound
Into the wild, wild night

How I would love to gnaw
To gnaw on your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains paw
Into the wild, wild night

How I detrain (Repeat)

If you want to come on down
Down with your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains pound
Into the wild, wild night
