"Changeling"

"Changeling"

Radio through my car window
Mouths make shapes
Hullos that look like violence
We pull out
And here the traffic waltzes
Slow, quick, go
Move over you say

[Pre-chorus:]
How does anybody get to work like this
Can anybody tell me does it work like this?

[Chorus:]
I remember when the world was a little girl
Every corner turned leading back to her
Flowing like a stream on a rolling stone
Certain there was nothing changing

Heel to toe,
We throw our forward roll and hope
Something somewhere is catching
Spill onto a boulevard
I lose my grip of you
Move with me I say

[Pre-chorus:]
How does anybody get to work like this
Can anybody tell me does it work like this?

[Chorus:]
I remember when the world was a little girl
Every corner turned leading back to her
Flowing like a stream round a rolling stone
Dream that I was never changing
Changing

And in every face I should chance to meet
I’m looking for the one that could still ṗlace me
Any corner turned back for her
Dream that we were never changing

"Cry Me A River"

"Cry Me A River"

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

"Dido's Lament: When I Am Laid In Earth"

"Dido's Lament: When I Am Laid In Earth"

When I am laid, am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in, in thy breast.
When I am laid, am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in, in thy breast.
Remember me, remember me, but ah!
Forget my fate.
Remember me, but ah!
Forget my fate.
Remember me, remember me, but ah!
Forget my fate.
Remember me, but ah!
Forget my fate.

"Do You Ever Wonder"

"Do You Ever Wonder"

Do you ever wonder
What it's like
To be alone and
No sleep at night
Ever wonder
Is this for real
Ever Wonder

Sometimes I think you sigh
Time drifts by, once in a life
Love is strong

I won't feel anything
I'm lost without you

In my mind a picture
That you frame
Kaleidoscope of love you're showing me
Loving sweet rays
All hopes that fade
My only gain
My lonely game played without you

You sigh
Time drifts by, once in a life
Love is strong

I won't feel anything
I'm lost without you

Through the wake of you
Every now and then
Every now and then
The road that I follow is so far from you

Do you every wonder

"Dorothy"

"Dorothy"

I'm running up the stairs
I can hardly breath again
Into your arms and a perfect day
From the garden where we lay
With the roses all aflame
You called my name and I meant to say
It's been too long, so long

I looked for your face watching down from the window
Wave me till I'm gone
I remember the dress you wore
And you're still here with me, but maybe
Dorothy it's been too long, so long

Now I'm waiting in the dark
In the strangeness of your bed
To hide my face where you lay your head
As I listen to the room
And it speaks about a distance never met
You were there and yet
Dorothy it's been too long, so long

You left without saying goodbye
And I was so impatient then
Always one to cynical to pray
But I talked to you today
D'you hear me?
Dorothy it's been too long, so long

"Falling"

"Falling"

She said something like I want to go down where the rivers wild
He said take me then I want to drown deep in your violent eyes
(Feel the water rise again, call the river by your name)
I want to float in through your door
Hang it on the wall hang it all
But I want to be sure of one thing
That I'm getting into something peaceful
I want to fly in on your wing
Way, way up here I don't care for anything
It's all in, and I'm not afraid I don't fear
Falling

She said listen I've been telling you I'm into something cruel
He said give me what got into you I don't care what you do
(If there's a full moon in Taiwan I want half of what you're on)
I want to open up your mind
Leave it all behind you and me we are one of a kind, we may find
That we're getting high on something peaceful
We're gonna take it for a ride
Going nowhere fast but we got nothing to tie ourselves on
And I'm not afraid to go down
Falling

She said something like I'm tired of me
You've got to paint my face
He said fold up like a paper boat, set sail for me again
I want to fly in on your wing
Way, way up here I don't care for anything, it's all in
And I'm not afraid I don't fear
Falling

"Filigree"

"Filigree"

I fell into a cinema
Watching pictures in a dream
Shifting the fidget into still
Nine other people took their leave

No humping bones or filigree
Grace and nature mimicry
All but took me to my knees...

[Chorus:]
You jump too soon
And miss all this
Now something beautiful happens
All there is this beautiful meetings
We wait on, we wait on

It moved as slow as slow can be
Half eaten words of earth and sea
I didn't feel it touching me...

[Chorus]

I fell into a cinema
I didn't know where else to be
Sitting out a trip or three
I thought I want frippery
Fat girl five seats down and me
Concave and blinking at the scene
Rolling credits on the screen...

[Chorus]

"Find Me"

"Find Me"

Is your heart so heavy
That it weighs you down
So all you have is time
Don't turn away
We have both seen darker days
And there's always a light that shines

(Do you feel like) all your hopes are a long way gone
(Does it seem like) every road only takes you down
(Do they shut you out)
Don't be afraid of what they say
Throw back your head and cry

When you need somebody, find me there
When you're feeling empty I'll be there - find me

When you're feeling weary with no peace of mind
And the tone of your voice is hollow
You're home to stranger that won't belong
And there's no-one else to follow

(Do you feel like) nowhere, oh no, there's no better way
(Does it seem like) nobody hears a word you say
(And they shut you out)
And where does it say that a man ain't a right
To throw back his head and cry

You don't need to tell me 'cos I know
I know how you feel (you're miles away)
You don't need to show me (nobody listens to a word you say)
We can shut them out
Where does it say that a man ain't a right
To throw back his head and cry

When you need somebody find me there
I'll be right beside you
When you're feeling empty I'll be there
Can you hear me? I'll be singing

"Fire"

"Fire"

Behold the city rocks
And what you really want
Won't stay with you

Oh how the shifting light
Once clean, precise
Conspires now to play with you

Dust falls on everyone
Our innocence with time all rearranged
Two hearts beat on
Dismayed to find their rhythm so
estranged, oh

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire with you

Today I walk familiar lanes
'neath stone and spire where
nothings changed
But space and time

And if you tread your step the same
choose this hour, this day
Feel your hand for mine

Ours was a cruel exchange
Staying whole or being me and you
Forget, or find a way
To cut a hole that only we pass through

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire with you

Dust falls on everyone
Our innocence with time all rearranged
Two hearts beat on
Dismayed to find their rhythm so
estranged, oh

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire with you

"Footsteps"

"Footsteps"

It wont be clean and easy
There's more to carry than a case or two
I come with a history that I wont forget in a life with you
This man's been true to me and I didn't come by him easy
Shame shame crying shame
Losing more than a family name
Don't let your footsteps falter
You're gonna get wet if you dip in the water
Be sure what you take me for and I wont ever want for more
Don't let your footsteps fail me
You're gonna get sunk if you slip on the way
When I say the time is right
Go walk this mother out of sight

I didn't plan to meet you now here I am on a roundabout
See the road where I lived my life
If I go with you there's no turning back
I'm tired and I ain't proud but I want you more than I ever have
Tell me baby, did you think about it?

It wont be young and pretty
Look around you, you know it
Ain't nothing new for me I don't get fooled so easy
What's good ain't gonna be fine six months on down the line
Shame shame crying shame
Losing more than a family name

Have you found it, did you find what you're looking for
You know you change your mind and it's a waste of time
And heaven only knows you'll be on your own
