How Silent We've Become
sweetheart
how far you've run now that summer's come and gone
you profess your love then you take our child away
when it's you that's changing
mr, mr how i see you dodge and duck
the bullets from their lips
the daggers from their eyes
reduce them to rubble
you're nothing but trouble
when you see but say nothing
no one's noticed how silent we've become
just melt back in when you have had enough
in this room it's begun to snow
but all you see is cold
yes pretty one it's a burden to bare
to be subject to their looks
no knowing what to wear
but let me ask you something
do you see the sunrise?
because for some it's always setting
Deadman
slipping in slipping out
looking everywhere but down
ferris wheel it's been about
still can't get your head around
how it is you're on this bus
same cracked road to the same ghost town
sun comes up can't get out of bed
draw the shades inside your head
looks so peaceful from the ledge
prolonging your torment
flick the light burn the thread
been lying dormant far too long
deadman walking through the desert looking for his oasis
don't forget to have your fun
from the tracks to this misty street
feet just keep on shuffling
red blur beckons up ahead
young lovers guttering
these china plates they don't offer much
reaching over but you're out of touch
deadman walking through the junkyard looking for his missing part
don't forget to have your fun
It's Not Too Late(Ishmael)
can't you see we have got it wrong
you put your arms around me but my direction was too strong
watch her fading
watch her fading away
don't you know that loves works both ways
what you gave with two hands could never fill my plate
now she's bleeding
will you apologise when we're gone
to the children that we brought here with nothing to hold onto
and no one to look up to
but it's not too late
we can't start again but do you really want this to be the end?
because it's not too late
The Boy and The Sickle
he hung up his weathered hands at the end of the day
from harvesting his dreams in the heart shaped field where they lay
she showered over them with a drop from her eye
he kissed her eyes with his and softly replied
i'm but a humble man i'll live my life on my knees
she walked her street at night to the waters edge
peering over set her thoughts free to swim
he found her there and his hand found her head
she lifted she stole and this is what she said
i'm just a simple girl i'll dwell in the trees
at the end of her finger shone the brightest star
she drew it around them as the bonds fell apart
licking wounds praying for an end
inching towards what lay in the heart
two trapped birds yearning to be free
sit with me stare into mine
we're going no where treading this line
he pulled her close so that she'd see
everywhere he'd been and all he wanted to be
i'm but a humble man down on my knees
simple girl come down from the trees
Everything Looks Better in Candlelight
sitting in candlelight flickering
waiting for the door to slam in the wind on me
faces laughing crying come vividly
ghostly people dressed up in their sheets comfort me
they comfort me
he's out on the street down on his knees
she's in the back alley trying to please
she calls it ways he calls it means
softly spoken never strays far from sight
you trample but she is starting to fight
she's finding her feet
he walks to the mailbox in the time you've hit the moon and started to dive
won't you take him with you
treacherous heart of mine where does your love reside?
you gave me one to believe then kiss everyone you see
i can't trust me can you trust you?
drowning in rain
can see out can't see in
when you pass my way again wrap me up take me within
