"Bird On A Wire"

"Bird On A Wire"



Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.

Oh like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.

"Black Coffee"

"Black Coffee"



I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor from nine to four
In between I drink
Black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room

I'm talkin to the shadow
One o'clock till four
And Lord, how slow the moments go
And all I do is pour
Black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry

Now man was born to go a lovin'
But was a woman born to weep and fret
And stay at home and tend her oven
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes

I'm moonin' all the mornin'
Moanin' all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's drivin' me crazy
This thinkin' 'bout my baby
Might maybe come around
Come around

"Busy Being Blue"

"Busy Being Blue"



I'd have time on my hands
Time to make some plans
Time to take a different point of view
Time to take a walk
And time to sit and talk
But you know I'm too busy bein' blue

I'd have time to fool around
Time to paint the town
Time to spend each night
With someone new
Time to be alone
And time to stay out all night long
But you know I'm too busy bein' blue

I'd have time to leave behind
For to you and all your kind
Time to leave behind the world we knew
But I'm still occupied
Just rememberin' how we cried
But you know I'm too busy bein' blue

I'd have time on my hands
Time to make some plans
Time to take a different point of view
Time to take a walk
And time to sit and talk
But you know I'm too busy bein' blue

"Close Your Eyes"

"Close Your Eyes"



If I were near you, would you feel me there?
Could you feel me moving softly, through the air?
I lay me down and still your mind
Say nothing, nothing now
Close your eyes.
I will never leave
I'm a dream that answers to you
If were near you would you feel me there?
Say nothing, nothing now
Close your eyes

Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes

I will never leave
I'm a dream that answers to you
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes

"Coming Home"

"Coming Home"



Oh sweet sorrow
Let's write the book tomorrow

For I caught a glimpse
Been obsessed with it ever since

My eyes no longer weak amongst the clarity that you pronounce in me

Won, you have won
My illumination has begun

I am happily indifferent to the ones who have consistently been wrong
And all that once confined us like minutiae at its finest now is gone

Oh sweet sorrow
Let's write the book tomorrow

My eyes no longer weak amongst the clarity that you pronounce in me
I am happily indifferent to the ones who have consistently been wrong
And all that once confined us like minutiae at its finest now is gone

And all that that lies before me like the asphalt lures me forward towards home
Home
Coming home

"Constant Craving"

"Constant Craving"



Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin

And constant
(Constant)
Craving
(Craving)
Has always
(Always)
Been

Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls to what's true
Or maybe it is life itself
That feeds wisdom to its youth

Constant
(Constant)
Craving
(Craving)
Has always
(Always)
Been

Craving
Ah, constant craving
Has always been
Has always been

Constant
(Constant)
Craving
(Craving)
Has always
(Always)
Been
Constant
(Constant)
Craving
(Craving)
Has always
(Always)
Been

Craving
Ah, constant craving
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
(Has always)
Always been
(Has always)
Always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been

"Curiosity"

"Curiosity"



Curious and bored
stumbled through the door
tripping over expectations
she never knew before

then, curiosity
turns her gaze to me
i think she caught me staring at her
but i just had to see

the beauty of desire
is shamelessly inspired
god, it's overwhelming me

and basking in the sun
seems dangerous and fun...

god it's overwhelming

curiosity...
curiosity...
curiosity...
is killing me

this infatuation
is getting out of hand
in this kind of situation
one needs discipline

"Curious Soul Astray"

"Curious Soul Astray"


As a child my dreams ran wild
Through fields of disobey
Wandering, wandering,
Wanting it all
A curious soul astray

As a child my heart ran wild
Through fields of disobey
Loving and laughing
And longing to fall
A curious soul astray

I ran with a passionate story
I ran for the wisdom and glory
Away, away I ran
As a child my dreams ran wild
Through fields of disobey
Wandering, wandering,
Wanting it all
A curious soul astray
[Repeat]

As a child my dreams ran wild
Through fields of disobey
Wandering, wandering,
Wanting it all
A curious soul astray
A curious soul astray
