Without a single breath of noiselessness she can't speak
[But we'll] keep raging through the [cold rushes]
So I will quiet her
Tell her the words that she needs to hear
I will quiet her
Tell her the words that she needs to hear
And I won't be left at the battle front
I'll be getting off with the one I love tonight

Kicked up a lot of dust [ . . . started off] she took it
And love will falter if your faith is lost
But I can quiet her
Tell her the words that she needs to hear
I will quiet her
Tell her the words that she needs to hear
And I won't be left at the battle front
I'll be getting off with the one I love tonight

And I won't be left at the battle front
I'll be getting off with the one I love tonight
And I will quiet her
Tell her the words that she needs to hear
I will quiet her
Tell her the words that she needs to hear
And I won't be left at the battle front
I'll be getting off with the one I love...
I'll be getting off with the one I love...

I met her down by the water
She took me into her full like a mother
I sent her some flowers for the weekend
And she sent me away on a mission
I went into another land

Starin' into one another's *green pools
We're a couple o' blue fools
Starin' into one another's green pools
We're a couple o' blue fools
Thank God that they don't ask us why
We can't get high
Blue fools

Never had any sisters or brothers
Spent all my time lookin' for another
Keeping all of my thoughts in a locket
Before I knew it she picked my pocket
I turned into another man

Starin' into one another's green pools
We're a couple o' blue fools
Starin' into one another's green pools
We're a couple o' blue fools
Thank God that they don't ask us why
We can't get high
Blue fools

Starin' into one another's green pools
We're a couple o' blue fools
Starin' into one another's green pools
We're a couple o' blue fools
Thank God that they don't ask us why
We can't get high
Blue fools...

Daylight comes you lift your pretty head from your knees
In the past you always knew you could talk to me
I would look to help but certain things I can't see
You raise your eyes and nod your head
I'd rather talk this out instead
While time is ticking away (time ticks away)
We lose another day
We lose another day

I'm the first to know when something is going wrong
If we wait for night to fall it will take too long
I will fight if you believe we can both be strong
You raise your eyes and nod your head
I'd rather talk this out instead
While time is ticking away (time ticks away)
We lose another day

You raise your eyes and nod your head
I'd rather talk this out instead
While time is ticking away (time ticks away)
We lose another day
We lose another day
We lose another day
We lose another day...
We lose another day...

Now you're never gonna get back to the boy you had
You have broken the chains forever
Now you're never gonna get back to the girl you were
(you are looking for a boy...)
I have found you
(standing free, now that he...)
No longer surrounds you
(wishing your memories)
Away

Come catch your breath
Nobody's going to rush you
Catch your breath
This time you don't have to hide
All those hopes you're frightened of and have no strength to fight
Alone

It was written in the stars you'd be resting here
Slipping straight from the arms of heaven
No I never would have guessed in a million years
(you were looking for a sign...)
Now I hold you
(shivering in my arms...)
Forget what he told you
(wishing your memories)


Away

Come catch your breath
Nobody's going to rush you
Catch your breath
This time you don't have to hide
All those hopes you're frightened of and have no strength to fight
Alone

(you were looking for a boy...)
I have found you
(standing free, now that he...)
No longer surrounds you
(wishing your memories)
Away

Come catch your breath
Nobody's going to rush you
Catch your breath
This time you don't have to hide
(catch) catch your breath
Nobody's going to rush you
Catch your breath
This time you don't have to hide
Catch your breath...

Shut your eyesAnd you'll remember like the first time what it meant to seeTake your timeAny reason why you can't go on is fine with me
As long as we don't sit in silenceI don't want to see the whole thing wastedAs long as we have time to be...half asleepHalf asleep
It takes a whileI'd give everything I've got to know how many daysI don't accuse you'cause any problem that there is I put in my own way
But I don't want to sit in silenceI don't want to see the whole thing wastedAs long as we have time to be...half asleepHalf asleep

We always have to say we're sorryBut every time we say we're sorryIt's closer to the real thing
We stay here some'cause we aren't going to get much closer to a real answer;The sleeping cured you;Ya know tomorrow we can waste the day and start another.
As long as we don't sit in silenceI don't want to see the whole thing wastedAs long as we have time to be...half asleepHalf asleepI don't wanna sit in silenceI don't wannt see the whole thing wastedAs long as we have time to be...half asleepHalf asleep

You can't give everything
There isn't much I can give
It's not a penny from the foot
He left in the door

Can't say anything
Not say things though they *
Some may be
But oh baby

It's only today
This above all
I thought you would remember
And the first song is out the door
This above all
You can remember
This above all
I will remember too

You can't just go ahead
And not look back at the past
Some call it black
Some hide it
Can't know anything
And think you know it at all
Without lying
But you can keep trying

It's only today
This above all


I thought you would remember
And the first song is out the door
This above all
You can remember
This above all
I will remember too

You can't give everything
There isn't much I can give
It's not a penny from the foot
He left in the door

Can't say anything
Not say things though they *
Well some may be
But c'mon baby

It's only today
This above all
I thought you would remember
And the first song is out the door
This above all
You can remember
This above all
I will remember too
This above all
This above all
This above all
This above all...

I was thinking I could wait until the work is done
But you'll only want to get back out and have some fun
Sun's lighting up the sky
And if it wasn't so bright
I'd come undone

Why can't you save time for me
There isn't much but it's all that I want from you
Why can't you save time for me
Without these moments there isn't much we can do
As victims of circumstance
Avoiding our every chance
We can't solve problems
Save time for me

I remember when you leaned on my experience
And I showed you what you had to do to make some sense
But time moves fast
And it doesn't last
For everyone


Why can't you save time for me
There isn't much, but it's all that I want from you
Why can't you save time for me
Without these moments there isn't much we can do
As victims of circumstance
Avoiding our every chance
We can't solve problems
Save time for me

As victims of circumstance
Avoiding our every chance
We can't solve problems

Why can't you save time for me
There isn't much but it's all that I want from you
Why can't you save time for me
Without these moments there isn't much we can do

Why can't you save time for me (repeat) {fade}

I left her the message
She won't let me down
She's coming right up my road
We'll take a *(tribute to the finer shake down)
We'll get her hard to *explode
'cause I will not let her out of my head
Til she gets up on out of that bed
She's always by herself
She'll be all by herself
She's by herself
She'll be all by herself

First time * faith to believe
The cards she holds up her sleeve
I ask her what do you want to create
She said she's tryin' to make mona lisa shake, but
I will not let her out of my head
Til she learns she can do it with me
Still by herself
She is all by herself


She's by herself
She is all by herself (herself)
Herself herself (she)
By by herself
All by herself
She's all by herself

She *pinning up the things that tie up her mind
That kind of love could give sight to the blind
Why she's by herself
She is all by herself
She's by herslef
She'll be all by herself
By herself
She'll be all by herself
By herself
She'll be all by herself
By her, by by herself...
All by herself.

As my girl you make me strong
Watching and helping along
Come in and I'll play any game you play
I'll hear every word you say

Did you tell me how you feel about brotherhood
Between any two have it half as good
We must be feeling
Brotherhood
Tell me how you feel about brotherhood
Between any two have it half as good
We must be feeling
Brotherhood

So close to touching the end
More like a sister than friend
When I watch you go I hold my breath and *dream
Once I see you after me

So tell me how you feel about brotherhood
Between any two have it half as good
We must be feeling
Brotherhood
Tell me how you feel about brotherhood
Between any two have it half as good
We must be feeling


Brotherhood

Come in and I'll play any game you play
I'll hear every word you say

You can tell me how you feel about brotherhood
Between any two have it half as good
We must be feeling
Brotherhood
Tell me how you feel about brotherhood
Between any two have it half as good
We must be feeling
Brotherhood

Tell me how you feel about brotherhood
It's a word I never understood
Til now
Brotherhood
Tell me how you feel about brotherhood
It's a word I never understood
Til now
Brotherhood
Brotherhood
Brotherhood
Brotherhood
Brotherhood.

Ever since I first ran ahead
I've been living in the past
Only wanting what might last
And up until today disappeared
Though I saw it wasn't clear
I could not admit the love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Couldn't hold the love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Let her fly
And even if I'm walking down that road tomorrow
I will still be waiting around
For the girl who tied me down
For the face that lost me found
Wishing to the shot in the dark
By the touch and words I like
In her precious smile
The love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Couldn't hold the love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Let it fly
And even if I'm walking down that road tomorrow


I will still be waiting around
For the face that lost me found
For the voice that brought me *down/bound

Ever since I first ran ahead
I've been living in the past
Only wanting what might last
And up until today disappeared
Though I saw it wasn't clear
I could not admit the love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Couldn't hold the love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Let her fly
And even if I'm walking down that road tomorrow
I will still be waiting
The love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Couldn't hold the love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Let her fly
And even if I'm walking....

Safe in the night
When people look but can not see
Pale in the light
That shines above onto the street

I watch you walkin' on the other side
And I turn my head away in shame
Wishin' they'd talk in the worthless--

Quaint and reserved
The house that knows you in detail
Slender and curved
You come down stairs to get your mail

I watch you walkin' on the other side


And I feel my thinking rearrange
As slowly every thought will change

Summer has gone
October fled without a word
Winter is on
My conscience has remained uncured

I watch you walkin' on the other side
And I rush my fingers through my hair
Telling myself that it is not fair

I watch you walkin' on the other side
And I rush my fingers through my hair
Telling myself that it is not fair
