Little Song

This is just a little song
Sing this when the day's gone wrong
If all red falls away to blue
Hush, now, this is what you'll do
Don't hold back, dreaming’s cheap
Pack your smiles and breathe in deep
Kiss your little girl to sleep
Hold my hand, the ladder's steep
Are you ready now for the magic leap?
The highest cloud will be your throne
The brightest star: we'll claim our own
Scream out loud and speak in tongues
Fall asleep until the rising sun
Then we'll come down.
And you won't feel alone.
This is just a little song
Sing this when the day's gone wrong
When you’re on your own
So you won’t feel alone

Loan Shark’s Deal
04:05

Your eyes
They've been creepin' in my sleep
Too close
But never sinkin' in too deep
When the night closes in
And the north wind moans
I can feel that itchin'
Fevering to the bones
And no one
Oh (I tried!, but) no one
can heal me like you do.
Your love
Is like a loan-shark's deal
You gave some so you'd take
‘Til there's none more I can feel.
When we're alone
High water everywhere
I can just lay me down
Pretending that you care
Left to the blues
With a right to swoon
And no one
Oh (You know that) no one
Can play me like you do.
I still pray
I’m still a tool
But no one
Oh (I tried!, but) no one
Can love me like you do.

The Sea

Tonight the moon puts on its spell
Don't want hope or a wishing well
To the river I'll go
But all the rivers past and gone
They all tell me you're the one
I shiver to know (...)
All the people, all the gloom
step out when you walk in the room
I'm yearning for you.
All the ghosts and blinding lights
The soaken sheets of sleepless nights
I'm hurting without you
You are the sea.
All your jokes in a girly dress
(In truth) All of you, my heart's a mess
I crave too much.
All the gold no money buys
And all my dreams die in your thighs
A slave for your touch
You are the sea.
Is there room for me?
Is there place to be?
Is there space to see
you are the sea?
All the lust that's here to last
My queen, your eyes, your lips, your breasts
I fear your crown.
All the time has come to act
I love you is a well-know fact
I'm here to drown.
You are the sea.

Dream Alone
04:56

|
I have longed for you
as many times before
You have long forgotten
the path to my door
If you have thoughts on this
just keep'em to your own
and please leave my broken dream alone.
Don't forget the man you’ve put
To the ground
Never kick the one who’s
Already down
It’s a freezing river
It can cold burn bones
So please, leave his broken dream alone
Cold floor, dirty ground are
your friends, they soothe your day
A minor price
the shameful fools must pay
While I cut off memories
and the love we've sowned
Please, leave this broken dream alone
To forget you must first
remember well
Suffer truth ‘til there’s no story
Left to tell
As body once sore
turns into a stepping stone
You'll heal and leave your broken dream alone
You’ll heal and leave your broken dream alone
Heal and leave your broken dream alone.

Love Song XXI

It could have been the shy smile
It could have been the wine
It could have been the perfume
It could have been the pick-up line
“Is it just fate”,
I do believe,
“That makes us wait
To kiss like thieves
When all the others leave?”
It could have been the talking
It could have been the tongue
It could have been the lyrics
It could have been our theme song.
“Is it just faith”,
I do recall,
“That makes our hate
And fears grow small
When all the others fall?”
“I’ll love you anyhow”
“Where do we go to now?”
It could have been the comfort
It could have been the nights
It could have been the devil
It could have been the party lights
“Is it too late”,
I truly fear,
“And I’ll awake
You’ve disappeared
Like all others once here?”.
“Isn’t it great”,
I stare the floor,
“That my soul-mate
Became a bore
Like all others before?”
So what was it all for?
Yet we still come back for more.
