On My Way

Wait for me my love
For I am on my way
Just wait for me my love
Just wait another day
And one day we will have
We’ll have a baby
And she will look like you
And she will look like me
So wait for me my love
Just wait another day
I’ll be there just as soon
As soon as I can be

Stay With Me

Stay with me
Is there somewhere we can go
Is there somewhere we can hide away?
Is there something we can know?
And so many times I’ve tried
And so many times I’ve failed
Not enough to bring you back to me
On your memory impaled
Why? Why Baby, why?
Aren’t I strong enough to keep you high?
Stay with me
Is there something I can eat?
Is there something I can drink my dear;
Something that will make me sleep;
For a thousand years or more;
I won’t have to see your face;
Every time I close my eyes;
Sees your memory erased?
Why? Why Baby, why?
Aren’t I strong enough to keep you high?
And please. Please Baby please.
Don’t you go away.
You stay with me.
Why? Why Baby, why?
Aren’t I strong enough to give you up?
And please. Please Baby please.
Don’t you go away.
You stay with me.

Never Going Back
04:47
|
|||
|
Some people like talking when they don’t know nothing and it’s clear the most they’ll do is decide.
Some people like walk’n on a wheel; though it goes nowhere, still they feel it’s doing them right.
And I don’t mind things they’re saying — games they’re playing — with my head.
What I mind is when I can’t, when I can’t tell me from them
But I’m never going back there. No, they’re gonna have to take me away
‘Cause I’m never going back there. No I’m never going back there.
No, I’m never going back there. Ya, they’re gonna have to take me away
‘Cause I’m never going back there
Some people start running when they don’t see nothing in the mirror and the fear starts turning the knife.
Some people start building a wall ‘til it gets so big that it don’t let in any light.
But I don’t mind people walk’n — people stomping — on my grave
What I mind is when I find, I find one of those people is me.
But I’m never going back there. No, they’re gonna have to take me away
‘Cause I’m never going back there. No, I’m never going back there.
No, I’m never going back there. Ya, they’re gonna have to take me away
‘Cause I’m never going back there. No, I’m never going back there.
No, we’re never going back there. No, they’re gonna have to take us away
‘Cause we’re never going back there. Ya, we’re never going back there.
No, we’re never going back there. No, they’re gonna have to take us away
‘Cause we’re never going back there.

Lost Together
05:30
|
|||
|
And they say…
And they say…
And if this is lost
Then let’s be lost together
Let’s be lost together
Let’s be lost like that
And if this is lost
Let’s stay lost forever
Let’s stay lost forever
Let’s be lost like that
By the time they catch up we'll be deep in the Poconos
Far away from the masses
Gazing at the stars in our glasses
Taking all the time we want
And we’ll double our voice to say what we wanna say
And we’ll open our hearts to be who we wanna be
And if it’s us we see at the end of the day, we will be ok

I’m sorry that you have to be the one
I’ll miss you now, I’ll miss you now, and then it’s done
I’m sorry that you have to be the one
I’ll miss you now, I’ll miss you now, and then it’s done
And for a while I’ll miss you in the summer sun
And for a while I’ll miss you in the rain
And for a while I’ll miss when the stars are out
And all day
I’m sorry that you have to be the one
I’ll miss you now, I’ll miss you now, and then it’s done
I’m sorry that you have to be the one
I’ll miss you now, I’ll miss you now, and then it’s done
And for a while I’ll miss you when I’m driving
I’ll talk to you as though you were still there
And for a while I’ll forget that I’m just talking to thin…
Air
And for a while I’ll stare into a void
For everywhere I look will be your face
And for a while I’ll just plain miss you
I’m sorry that you have to be the one
But then it’s done
For I won’t let you claim
The rest of my better days

No Tomorrow
03:28

Warm covered skin. Touched my heart; made me wince.
Fight for a day. With is sun. Without; shade.
I want to celebrate my life, want to get on with
All the days I have to live
This fence sitting has turned my life to shit
So I’m off, but saying this:
If you won’t do this today
Will you think about tomorrow?
If you won’t do this today…
We will go about our lives; pretend
We are fine. We are friends.
And when we meet we’ll say: Man you’re looking good
Outside smile
Inside soot
If you won’t do this today
Will you think about tomorrow?
If you won’t do this today…
This is what we never got to do
But if you won’t do this today
Will you think about tomorrow?
If you won’t do this today will you consider tomorrow

They Will Talk About Us
04:09
|
|||
|
And they will talk about us babe, from the sounds to the capes, on the native and the foreign shores
In Sarajevo we’ll be Ta Naranchasta Sunca, and in Rome we’ll be La Grande Amore
And in the south — way in the glades — they will sit in the shade, and proclaim our love bent space and time
Deep in the mountains of Nepal where they don’t speak at all, they’ll just smile and they will make this sign
And they will talk about our love in the story books my friend
And they will talk about our love in the story books my friend
And tales they’ll tell beneath the sky, with their fires beside, to their progeny ‘bout how we met
And some will say it was in Nice at a rally for peace, others on a train in Lafayette
And there will be a secret club called The Order of Stuff, comprised of mostly PhDs
And they will sit in remote stations and develop equations to explain the way you looked at me
And they will talk about our love in the story books my friend
And they will talk about our love in the story books my friend
There will be rivalries among powerful houses that run a thousand years, with no end in sight
And all because there were two brothers — who because of their lovers — disagreed the colour of your eyes
And some will say it never was, never happened because, a love like ours would die in a day
And some will say it was all staged by an alien race, or was cover for the CIA
And they will talk about our love in the story books my friend
And they will talk about our love in the story books my friend
And they will talk about our love in the story books my friend
And they will talk about us

My Brother
04:53
|
|||
|
Love. What is love?
Do you know?
Or have you just memorized this year’s love?
Or one they preach is from above?
Hey my brother, don’t know what to do? Well I say, " Hey my brother, what’ve you done for you?" And I say, " Hey my brother, you spend your time on me." And I say, "Hey my brother."
I know now that there are two of us here
One Courage, one Fear
And how they fight for my heart
Yeah, they fight for my heart
It gets me down, down, down
Sometimes right to the ground
To the point where I almost relent
But then I glean their love
It’s a rotten hull
So I leave them to die with their dead and recall all for which I’ve bled
Hey my brother, don’t know what to do? Well I say, " Hey my brother, what’ve you done for you?" And I say, " Hey my brother, you spend your time on me." And I say, "Hey my brother, It’s killing you, can’t you see?
And you say, "Hey my brother, there is no I in Team. But I say, "Hey my brother, there is one in Alive/I found one in alive. And I say, "Hey my brother, so are you doing it right? And I say, "Hey my brother".

I Was In Love
05:32
|
|||
|
I bathed in light from under lidded skies
I was the scourge of all the ways to die
I was in love
I rode a wave onto a fated shore
And there I lived without a want for more
I was in love
I was Apollo. I was Burning Sun
I was the voice of all melodies sung
I was the sea, and the earth, and the sky up above
I was in love
We built a watermelon sugar house
And my breath in was her breath out
I was in love
And she said: Baby
I said: What?
She said: Time is a wave, and it’s drowning us
I was in love
I told her: All we need is you and me
She said: we need more baby, can’t you see?
I said: No. Just us, our blood, and the air in our lungs
I was in love
Then it all went bad
He tried to deny it
There was no way he could fight it
There was no way he could fight it
There was no way he could
Though he tried so
She tried to forget him
There was no way to forget him
There was no way to forget him
So she buried him deep in the sea
He belonged with her
And she belonged with he
They were in love

Far Away
04:05
|

|
Far away
On a cloud
Far away
In a field
In a boat
On the sea
Far away
You and Me
Far away
And we will never die
Far away
You and I
Where the waves
Will crash and roll our names
In the sand
In a sound
Far away
