"Lost Together"

"Lost Together"



Strange and beautiful
Are the stars tonight
That dance around your head
In your eyes I see that perfect world
I hope that doesn't sound too weird

And I want all the world to know
That your love's all I need
All that I need
And if we're lost
Then we are lost together
Yea if we're lost
Then we are lost together

I stand before this faceless crowd
And I wonder why I bother
So much controlled by so few
Stumbling from one disaster to another

I've heard it all so many times before
It's all a dream to me now
A dream to me now
And if we're lost
Then we are lost together
Yea if we're lost
Then we are lost together

In the silence of this whispered night
I listen only to your breath
And that second of a shooting star
Somehow it all makes sense

And I want all the world to know
That your love's all I need
All that I need
And if we're lost
Then we are lost together
Yea if we're lost
Then we are lost together

"Love And Understanding"

"Love And Understanding"


I live on this rock
Where the grass don't grow
And talk is cheap well I ought to know
And I'm not proud of this world we've made
Still it's a part of you and me
And we're the only ones who can
Make it change

Many have tried
In many ways
All I see are longer rows of crosses on the
Soldiers' graves
So do what you have to
And when it's all been said
Love and understanding are the best answers
I've heard yet
I've heard yet

[Solo]

Yea so tell me what's the price of our achievements
What's the cost of our pride
When our obvious brutality
Is lost before our eyes
So we choke down the pills
So that you don't have to bother
Trading one hypnotic state for another

Many have tried
In many ways
All I see are longer rows of crosses on the
Soldiers' graves
So do what you have to
And when it's all been said
Love and understanding are the best answers
I've heard yet
So do what you have to
And when it's all been said
Love and understanding are the best answers
I've heard yet
I've heard yet

"Love Never Lies"

"Love Never Lies"



Well I take my time
Never notice changes anyway
But lately I've been waking up to
All that we've done, change that has come
There's just no escaping the damage we do

But we get along
Going through our paces in the world
And maybe I could always be fooled
But you brought me here, you're making it clear
You're taking the veil I look through

Love never lies
Love never sneaks around at night
Love won't turn its back on you when you turn out the light
Love won't ever walk away carelessly
That's the way that love is, darling
Not the way it is for you and me

Well I'm coming down hard
And I just can't stop myself
And no matter what I pretend
Or which scene I choose it's just no use
We're already reaching the end

'Cause love never lies
Love never sneaks around at night
Love won't lie there silently when you turn out the light
Love won't turn its cruel hand on you senselessly
That's the way that love is, darling
Oh that's the way that love is, darling
Not the way it is for you and me

"Mattawa"

"Mattawa"


Can't see this winter road
For the fog and snow
Slippin through [?]
Headed east on seventeen
Timber stacks a few miles back
All laid out like rocket ships

So many words I should have said
Spent all night tryin to forget the one i did
This road is a thorn river of regret
Wind howls like a ghost inside my head
Was so wrong, now there's no retunin'

Two hundred miles, till sunrise
Two hundred miles of this ice and snow
Myyyyyyy, paint the dawn in Mattawa
I'll greet the dawn in Mattawa

Sadness in the morning, comes with the break of day
For the dawn is a thief, that steals your dreams away
Was so wrong now there's no returnin'

Two hundred miles till sunrise
Two hundred miles of this ice and snow
Myyyyyyy paint the dawn in Mattawa
I'll greet the dawn in Mattawa

"Me & Baz"

"Me & Baz"



Things are much worse
Than what I first let on
I'm spinning out
I don't know how I let things get
So far gone
So far gone

I don't know how I
Let the stakes get so high
And so did I
Now I can't tell difference between
The truth or a lie
The truth or a lie

Hey there Baz
Won't you twist one up for the ride
Cause we've both been down this road so many times
And we've sang all these old songs
Deep into the night
Yea my soul it's out of touch
That's my problem I think too much
And I don't know if I'll make it home alive
Too far gone

Oh dear darkness
If your gonna take me take me now
I've had enough
And I don't fear cause I've seen the light
That shines behind the shadows door
There's a light that shines
There's a light that shines
There's a light that shines

"Million Miles"

"Million Miles"



It's such a small place you came from
It's so far the other way that you've gone
Across the bridge past the still waters
Towards the white clapboard towers
To say a prayer in a place where
You were hoping someone might hear

Might as well be
A million miles
A million miles
A million miles
Might as well be
A million miles
A million miles
A million miles
Away

Sometimes you go too far
The things you do will they break your heart
Have you forgotten what is real
Is this the only way you can feel
Across the bridge past the still waters
Towards the white clapboard towers

Might as well be
A million miles
A million miles
A million miles
Might as well be
A million miles
A million miles
A million miles
Away

Your not sure
If you'll ever be
This high again

Your not sure
If you'll ever be
Be this high again

Your not sure
If you'll ever be
Be this high again

Might as well be a million miles
A million miles
Might as well be a million miles
A million miles
A million miles
A million miles
A million miles
A million miles
A million miles
Away

"Montreal"

"Montreal"



We met in Montreal
Far from the crime
Moving in circles
Running with so little time
Sat and we talked
About rumours and lies
Stayed til the sun hit the floor

You wore the dress
From the old market stall
People and places
Said you were forgetting them all
I don't know if I
Believed you or not
As I stared at you outside your door

Those were the times
That was our life
I probably wouldn't change
One little thing if I tried
Moments together mapped out
Like the stars in the sky
Now you're in the things that I do
Still I miss talking to you

Late in your bed
You said don't you be sad
Think of how lucky we are
For the things that we've had
Life that's around me
I'm letting it go
But you stay up here in my head

Those were the times
That was our life
I probably wouldn't change
One little thing if I tried
Moments together mapped out
Like the stars in the sky
Now you're in the things that I do
Still I miss talking to you

 

[fox69]

"Moon And Tree"

"Moon And Tree"


Well I've been out walking
Talking to moon and tree
And the tall spring grass
Like waves on a dark green sea
So much of what we are
We will always be
And I don't mind getting lost
In your dream

[Chorus]
Your eyes are a mirror
Your grace fills my soul
Your heart like a river
Your tears are my own
They are my own

Well I feel like I'm walking on hot coals
And I don't mind getting burned
But I fear for this soul
You fell into my life
The way a star falls from the sky
Now I'm forever lost in your eyes

[Chorus]

"Mystic River"

"Mystic River"



I can't believe it's true I finally got you here
I been waiting for this moment for some years
I've been torn down enough to know
Everyone goes through this door
Just before their lives explode
Come in here with a heavy load

Walking down the road watching the day begin
Radio song is playing off in a distant wind
But you can feel it its a gentle love
Coming out soft from the windows above
Just when you have had enough
Here comes the world you've been dreaming of

Oh my my the Mystic River
She takes your heart
And you will forgive her
Lay me down beside the water
I look across at the sons and daughters

Sun comes up each day to chase away the moon
Even the stars at night they fade away too soon
You can't do much about the trouble life brings
Cut all the lines so the phones don't ring
But stay here once from spring to spring
Watching the ice melt the mornings sing

Oh my my the Mystic River
She takes your heart
And you will forgive her
Lay me down beside the water
I miss my sons I miss my daughter now

There's a tree that grows out in the burning sands
Never a drop of rain that nobody understands
You can push me I don't mind
Leave me out here and I'll be fine
Cause everyone's gonna have their time
Up or down honey you decide

Oh my my the Mystic River
She takes your heart
And you will forgive her
Lay me down beside the water
I miss my sons I miss my daughter now

"Never Look Back"

"Never Look Back"



You deceive me
Then you laugh
And now your doin' everything that you can
To try to win my love back

You made promises
You never kept
Yes I followed you to the end
And I never looked back
Never looked back
Never looked back
Yes I followed you to the end
And I never looked back

You were everything
So complete
And yes I learned how to turn every trick
On the end of that leash

Oh ho baby
I wanted you so bad
Yes I followed you to the end
And I never looked back
Never looked back
Never looked back

Yes I followed you to the end
And I never looked back

You were everything
So complete
Yes I learned how to turn every trick
On the end of that leash

Oh ho baby
I wanted you so bad
Yes I followed you to the end
And I never looked back
Never looked back
Never looked back
Yes I followed you to the end
And I never looked back

Never looked back
Never looked back
Yes I followed you to the end
Followed you to the end

Yes I followed you to the end
And I never looked back

Yes I followed you to the end
And I never looked back
