Clouds

There's a factory of lovers
A disco in the park
But the memory's lost on this one
Just trying to make his mark
He doesn't really care much
For the rituals on display
Chat-up lines are nonsense
There's nothing more to say
Sitting on the floor
And watching the clouds go by
Those ones look like horses
Racing in the wind
That one looks like your face
So the thought begins
He'll call your name one last time
And try to make it work
He'll call your name one last time
And end up getting hurt
Sitting on the floor
And watching the clouds go by

Tell me that you hate me
And mean it this time
I will try to get you
Out of my mind
Light another candle
Everything's fine

At Last, My Atlas
02:42

I would hear your heart
I would wash your feet
I would be your servant
Just to earn my keep
To earn my place in your palace
To earn my place in your mind
To earn a little happiness
I need a little time
And all I'm trying to say
Is I deserve more than one day
I would hear your heart
I would feel it beat
Listen to the palpitations
Rhythmically complete
Tell me all of your problems
I'd help you with your grief
I would pay you compliments
I would be your relief
And all I'm trying to do
Is do right by you
I would hear your heart
I've never listened before
Every beat is beauty
That over pours
That little look in your eye
That little glint in your smile
Tells me we will be together
It's the reason why
I'm spending all of my time
With you on my mind
I wouldn't really mind
But there's one thing I just can't find

Water into Wine
02:48
|
|
||
Put pen to paper
And head to pillow
Store up your tears
For tomorrow
Turn the water into wine
Try to change my mind
Maybe I will stop this time
We should go out
Fight the windmills
Chase the tigers
On the hills
Help me spin my web
You are my flow and my ebb
You don't even know it yet
Feel the clock tick
Feel the time
Feeling alone
Is not a crime
Come on be my tragedy
The face in everything I see
How am I supposed to leave?

Dig a Tunnel
02:58
|
|
||
The light on the pier has gone out
Ships in the night are in doubt
Like the hotels we stayed in when we were in love
Now we are empty inside
Blinded by fog in the dark
You took me and tore me apart
Now I lie on the floor in this world of my own
And dream of your delicate touch
And it's selfish to think that you're thinking of me
As you're dreaming alone in your bed
The heart that I mine for is true
So I'll dig a tunnel or two
And I'll find a darkness deep down in the earth
And hope that you find your way too
And it's selfish to think that you're thinking of me
As you're dreaming alone in your bed
I'll sail away one last time
Escape from this land that was mine
And get to a point where I can't hear your voice
Where the head on my shoulder is gone

Railway Tracks
03:14
|
|
||
If you'll just stop and listen
I'll show you what you're missing
But I don't think you care much
Moving in and out of touch
I'll take the railway tracks to you
So say you'll meet me
In the waiting room
Though you terrify me
You know you fascinate me
So open up those blue eyes
And end those breathless sighs
I'll take the railway tracks to you
So say you'll meet me

They held a gun to god
To put the labyrinth in your eyes
With faith in moderation
I found myself inside
From the middle of the sea
To the furthest rising tide
Quietly away
Quietly abide
I'll shield you from the stones
From the storm that's coming in
Work my fingers to the bone
'Till we're gathered safe within
Sleep well if you can
Dream well if you will
Quietly away
Quietly abide

We Never Said Goodnight
02:28
|
|

We never saw eye to eye
And now another year's gone by
I have to start and wonder why
We never said goodnight
I still feel your ellipsis kiss
I can never get away from this
Still feel your body close to mine
Though we never said goodnight
All that I wanted
Was to hear your voice
All that I wanted
Was a conversation
And now that your away from here
I feel your presence everywhere
Still think of you from time to time
Though we never said goodnight
All that I wanted
Was to hear your voice
All that I wanted
Was a conversation
If I could leave these scars alone
Find a way to leave them at home
If I could stop wondering why
We never said goodnight

I'll check the mirrors
To check you're still there
For a certain romance
I would dance without care
For every crimson bullet
I would stand and stare
For the fairest of the fair
My lovely nightmare
Maths in my mind
Tell me you're near
A song on the radio
Says we'll get out of here
We'll play on a piano
Put tunes to Shakespeare
Sing of love lost
And found so sincere
I dreamt that you chased me
From station to stop
Put your arm round my waist
And gave me your heart
I dreamt that you chased me
With a smile on your face
You turned and you kissed me
We made our escape

It's a Lonely Night
02:57

I am lonely
You are lonely too
I am lonely
You are lonely too
Why don't you come round here?
It's a lonely night
Sounds like it's a good idea
Just say you might
I am lonely
You are lonely too
I am lonely
You are lonely too
Tell me of a party
But don't tell me where it is
Tell me all about it
Tomorrow when you're sick
I am lonely
You are lonely too
But you don't care the way I care for you
I'll fall for the reasons
Like I fell for you
And I'll believe your stories
'Cause that is what I do
I am lonely
You are lonely too
I am lonely
You are lonely too
I am lonely
You are lonely too
I am lonely
You are lonely too
I am lonely
You are lonely too

A Quiet Place
03:07
|
|
||
Days of silence, nights of shame
Little flames and those stupid games
For this I'll take the blame
But when I go
I will go
I hope I never feel so frail
My mind has failed and my heart set sail
Start to feel the final nail
But when I go
I will go
And when I leave, I pray that I may leave with grace
An innocent smile on an innocent face
To lay my head in blissful, distant, vacant space
To find some peace in a quiet place

A sky as gold as lead
A sea that I can't see
And all the books I've read
Are not enough retreat
Running down a long and dusty road
To search for the things that I can never know
The sun is setting I can feel it's glow
Seems like it's the only way to go
Mirrored in the stream
Though I can't see the daylight
It's hazy like a dream
Make some sense of it tonight
Running down a long and dusty road
To search for the things that I can never know
The sun is setting I can feel it's glow
Seems like it's the only way to go
Keep the sea by my side
Keep the stars in line
With the sea by my side
You know I'll be alright
