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...

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}

Something Becomes Nothing

[No lyrics]

. . .


She remembers how we met
Through a friend of ours
I took her for a ride and laid her
Underneath the stars
And even now it makes me laugh to think we wanted more
And always talked about how hard it was
When really it was so
Easy

It was so easy
It was so easy

And ever since this stroke of luck
I was feeling fine
Sometimes even seemed this life
Might be a friend of mine
But all these notions disappeared as soon as she was gone
It was as hard as they had always said
Somehow we were so

Easy
We were so easy

We always talked about how hard it was
When really it was so

Easy
We were so easy
We were so easy
We were so easy

. . .


You think you're so fast, but I know who Said it was the first..
..place, it wasn't you
And you think you're so smart, but I don't know.........
(know) Every now and then..
... I guess it starts to show

And I'm just like you, I don't wanna be alone
I don't know what to do, I'm sittin' around at home
Waiting for love to appear when I feel again


I wasted the best of my time
(time) Hating to think it was mine
(mine) Looking away

You think you're so cool, but I've seen through
People who for years have been holding you
And you think I'm so small, but I am not
Now we're talking big, honey, I miss you a lot
'Cause I'm just like you, I don't wanna be alone
I don't know what to do, so I'm sittin' around at home
Waiting for love to appear when I feel again

You think you're so cool, but I've seen through
The people who for years have been holding you
And you think you're so smart, but I don't know
Every now and then I guess it starts to show
And I'm just like you, I don't wanna be alone
I don't know what to do, I'm sittin' around at home
Waiting for love to appear when I feel again

I wasted the best of my time
(time) Hating to think it was mine
(mine) Looking away

. . .


Oh I used to sit around all day
What would I do if I found her
Figuring out what I might say
For a moment she was wonderful
So I know I've got a little luck comin' to me
Got a little luck comin' to me

I guess I'd never seen a girl as easy to explain
The wind and the sun got to talking
Wind and the sun * her there
Like I'd never seen a woman beautiful and tame
Wind and the sun got together
Wind and the sun in her hair

All the seasons seem to congregate
Winter the cool of her whisper
Summer the warmth of her hair
Autumn at her eyes of *
Spring at the sound of her laughter
Never will dissipate

And I guess I'd never seen a girl as easy to explain
The wind and the sun got to talking
Wind and the sun * her there
Like I'd never seen a woman beautiful and tame
Wind and the sun got together
Wind and the sun in her hair

Spring at the sound of her laughter (spring at the sound of her laughter)
Never will dissipate

And I guess I'd never seen a girl as easy to explain
The wind and the sun got to talking
Wind and the sun * her there
Like I'd never seen a woman beautiful and tame
Wind and the sun got together
Wind and the sun in her hair

. . .


You could change your mind forever
You could change your style of dress
You could find another lover
But you'll never find love
You will never find love

You could swear you never live here
Forget you knew my name
You could find another lover
But you'll never find love Not like this, no
You will never find love


As the days begin to pass us
And the nights, well they tend to flow
And you're with some other lover
Will you tell him who I was?
And you will never find love


You could find another lover
But you'll never find love
Not like this, baby
No, you will never find love
Not like this, baby

(Fade)

Living with my hopelessness
I wasn't very smart
But I died an early death
But now I know I wasn't alive yet

There's a mountain in the side of me
My vision that you can't see
She never touched me like you do, mama
Each time I take a little bit, take a little bit
take a little more
You know, got vertigo

What about the things we said
In strictest confidence
Does this mean I'll have to stop pretending that I'm not scared of heights *now
There's a mountain in the side of you
My vision, I swear it's true
*You never touch you like I do (oh no)
Each time I take a little bit, take a little bit
take a little more
you know, that's vertigo

Each time I take a little bit, take a little bit
take a little more
you know, that's vertigo
Each time I take a little bit, take a little bit
take a little more
you know, that's vertigo
There's a mountain in the side of me
My vision that you can't see
She never touched me like you do, mama
Each time I take a little bit, take a little bit
take a little more
you know, that's vertigo
Got vertigo, that's vertigo...vertigo, got vertigo

(Fade)

. . .


I like a little pain
If it wasn't true
There'd be nothing that
I had kept from you
(Wonder whom I guess)
We might be alive
Think it only sane
I've seen them walking

When I was alone
I talked as much like you
As my words would allow
Like you showed me to
Touching in our sleep
Moving very slow
* in a daze
We ought to know

These words of mine
Can only start to climb
Those thoughts in my head
Break on and on
I'm having a bad dream
So it isn't true
Anybody else
Could have looked like you
Pull me by surprise
Laughing like you do
Looking in my eyes
Only passing...

. . .


I want another mind,
So I can talk to my self.
And try to explain,
How my other life felt;
Where I could never keep up with demand.
You know I always tried my best to understand...

I'm waitng every day with this small love of mine.
And I can only pretend to know what keeps it alive, alive.
I mean, when I held it in my hand,
You know I always did my best to understand.

I missed it...

(solo)

I understand...

Even when I held you in my hand,
You know I always tried my best to understand.

Even when I held you in my hand,
You know I always did my best to understand.

Understand...

(fade)

You know I'm tired but I want to understand...

You know I'm tired but I want to understand...

You Gotta Love Me

Silent City

[No lyrics]

. . .


I don't know where I'm gonna live
Don't know if I'll find a place
I'd have to think about it some
And that I do not wish to face
I guess I'm counting on his
Divine Intervention

I cannot understand my God
I don't know why it gets to me
One day my life is filled with joy
And then we find we disagree
All depending on his
Divine Intervention

Does he love us does he love us?
Does he love us does he love us?
I look around and all I see is destruction
We're all counting on his
Divine Intervention

Here comes the sunshine
Here comes the sunshine
Sunshine
The sunshine
Here it comes
