"Don't Let The Darkness In Your Head"

"Don't Let The Darkness In Your Head"



Don't let the darkness in your head
All the love you meant to share
You shared
All the tears we'll never hear
All the dreams that disappear
Sometimes you feel so alone
In the shadows of regret

Don't let the darkness in your head
All the things you meant to say
You Said
All the love you meant to share
You shared
Don't let the darkness in your head

All the pain that's messin up your mind
Makes you feel like they're leavin you behind
Sometimes you feel so alone in the shadows of regret
Don't let the darkness in your head
All the songs you meant to sing
You did
All the love you meant to share
You shared
Don't let the darkness in your head

Don't let the darkness in your head
All the songs you meant to sing
You did
Don't let the darkness in your head
All the love you meant to share
You shared

"Dragging On"

"Dragging On"



Wouldn't it be just like me
To come undone
Get mad and lose my head
Leave with the bitter taste
Of poison on my tongue
From the things I said
Things I said

You left a hole in me
And the rain comes pouring in
Sometimes I'm swept away
All of our memories
Are burned into my skin
They never fade
They never fade

It's cold out
Nobody wants to be the one
Who gets thrown out
Left in the rain like the lonely one
When it all comes down
To who's been right or wrong
We're just dragging on
Keep dragging on

Could it be someone else's
Life we're looking for
I know we wait in vain
We leave a mess behind us
Laid out on the floor
We try but we don't change
We never change

It's cold here
We're too scared to wake up to face the day
It seemed so clear
Oh as we run out of things to say
Oh and it all comes down
To who's been getting strong
We keep dragging on
Keep dragging on

Hours and hours
I have laid here on this bed
I know I'm sinking through
Waiting to wake up
From this vision in my head
But I never do
I never do

Oh I think I'm done
Oh I think I'm done
Oh I think I'm done

"English Bay"

"English Bay"



You are so far away
On this cold empty night
As I lie in a hotel room
Looking at the street light
Outside my window
I listen to the rain
And the sounds of the passing cars
And the waves on English Bay

And I wonder if you think of me
As I dream of you
Do you hear the song
That I sing
In this hotel room
'Cause I see you in the stars above
And in every setting sun
And even though you're fifteen hundred miles away
I hear howling at the moon

And I hold you in my mind
And I start to float away
Yea the whole world seems very strange
In a pleasant kinda way

And as the morning sun comes up
And puts an end to this long night
More than anything I wish
You were here
Lying by my side
Holding me near
Listening to the rain
And the passing cars
And the waves on English Bay

"Fall In Line"

"Fall In Line"


I don't know where it all began
I only know what I was told
Now rumours fly in from everywhere
People got so cold
I don't mind
I'll stand anywhere with you anytime
Oh when the night is falling
Conversation just wastes your time

Oh I'll fall in line
I'll fall in line

People make up the wildest things
I know that sometimes they're true
But you don't have to hide a thing from me
I've had my troubles too
I've got time
To keep walking beside you forever
Girl I don't mind
When the streets are empty
Oh and you're feeling lost and left behind

I'll fall in line
I'll fall in line

[Solo]

I've seen the shadows coming over you
When some fool drags you down
You know they're watching everything you do
Don't let it turn you around
Walk on by
Don't let the world of suggestion catch your eye
Oh when the night is falling girl and you need
Someone to hide behind

Oh I'll fall in line
I'll fall in line
I'll fall in line

"Fallen From Grace"

"Fallen From Grace"


Well the sun won't ever shine
Not like it used to do
And there will be moonlight in the sky
Won't mean a thing to you
Friends and relations say you've changed
They say that it's written in your face
Better get used to living like this
Now that you've fallen from grace

And you will walk across the floor
As the night becomes day
There will be trouble coming down
Sent round to test your faith
Then when the friends you used to wait for
Stop coming around to your place
You better get strong somehow
Now that you've fallen from grace

Better get used to the sorrow
Better get used to the pain
Don't even worry about tomorrow
You know it's only today all over again
[repeat]

Never mind the paper and the pen
They can't help you anymore
Forget about the music
That used to lift up your soul
And when the lover
That you lean on
Turns round and shows you a stranger's face
Better get used to living like this
Now that you've fallen from grace
Better get used to living like this
Now that you've fallen from grace

"Falling Down Blue"

"Falling Down Blue"


Everyone tells me I'm lucky
Got my whole life to live yet
I can't say they're wrong
But the days seem so long
Living inside of my head

Maybe I'll get some relief now
Now that your things are all gone
I won't sit here staring
At nothing all night
Bleary-eyed greeting the dawn

[Chorus]
All right I miss you tonight
And I'm not really sure what to say
It keeps rolling in like a slow moving train
It gets harder and harder each day
Each time I think that the worst of it's through
I am stopped in my tracks by some vision of you
All right I miss you tonight
I admit that I'm falling down blue

She lived outside of the city
On days when I'd visit her there
I'd watch her out dancing
All lit by the moon
The cold winds of time in her hair

Then we'd go driving for hours
Turn off the lights and just glide
Moving like spirits
Along through the night
The light through the trees as our guide

[Chorus]

"Find A Way To Say Goodbye"

"Find A Way To Say Goodbye"



I think I'm finally getting tired of this game
Every night goes just the same
You try to talk to me about your sorrow and your pain
But I end up walking out on you again

I watch you lying on the bed
Curtains blowing ‘round your head
I see the pictures of the two of us in time
A world we left so far behind

Now I get comfort in the night
Losing my head to the colours and the lights
You know I tried to be what you want me to be
But I always come up short, I know
I'm not the one you really need
Now I don't wonder, no I don't wonder at all
Why the same things that once held us up
Are the reasons now we fall
Maybe we won't come through
Maybe it's all been a lie
Til we find a way to say goodbye

And as I'm walking out the door
I know I've been here many times before
But I could never take the sorrow from your face
Or sweep the darkness from this place

Now I get comfort in the night
Losing my head to the colours and the lights
I tried to be everything that you want me to be
But when I wake up in the night
I know I'll never be the one you need
Now I don't wonder, no I don't wonder at all
Why the same things that once held us up
Are the reasons now we stumble and fall
Maybe we won't come through,
Maybe we're wasting our time
Til we find a way to say goodbye

"Finger Lakes"

"Finger Lakes"



As we drove on through the Finger Lakes
Water shining at our side
I was wrestling the demons in my mind
But it seemed to me you were reaching for
Some places we’d never been
Where we’d leave the past
On some dark road behind

I will always come
If you need me
And I will never forget
The things you said
And in my hour of darkness
You will come to me
And I will raise up
My worried head

There’s a line between what might have been
And where we stand today
There are roads we both know
We can never cross
But a voice comes down from history
And whispers in my ear
Don’t waste the time
The time that isn’t lost

I will always come
If you need me
And I will never forget
The things you said
And in my hour of darkness
You will come to me
And I will raise up
My worried head

I have walked by so many rooms
And watched you brooding in the dark
I spent my youth moving round you
Like a ghost
But the years go by
And the reasons die
That kept us far apart
Now the sun coming up each day’s
What we need most

I will always come
If you need me
And I will never forget
The things you said
And in my hour of darkness
You will come to me
And I will raise up
My worried head

"Flaming Bed"

"Flaming Bed"



Last night I woke up in a flaming bed
a flaming bed
a flaming bed
I know that you can't be with me
until I start talking some kind of sense
but nothing makes sense to me now
can't find the thread no place to rest
and I don't know what normal means
still I grow tired of the same
your flame burns pure
that's what I fear
I see so much
you make me real
I see so much
from everywhere to nowhere
from nowhere to here
nowhere to here
nowhere to here
nowhere to here
to everywhere

Last night I woke up in a flaming bed

"Floating"

"Floating"



Well, these late night conversations
Leave a strange taste,
Like french cigarettes.
And these coloured drinks
that you keep on throwin' at me
Just keep on reminding me
I came to forget.

So now every night
You insist on reminding me
Of my lost possibilities
And the stains on the wall.
Well, I don't mean to complain
But it hurts just the same.
And now both of us know
The leaves will fall on their own.

Just throw me a line
That's all that I ask
Well, it's sink or swim and I'm goin' fast
I need love and it's you
And I feel like William Holden floating in a pool.

Yea, you tell me
Life is for living
It's best in the giving
But it's so hard to be free.
Still I do my best
But you refuse my gift
And now all that we share
Is a collection of tears.

Just throw me a line
That's all that I ask
Well, it's sink or swim and I'm going fast
I need love and it's you
And I feel like William Holden floating in a pool.
