Long Goodbye
02:13
|
|||
|
there’s so much life beneath the melting snow/ as first signs of spring begin to show/ i built a nest box, hung it on a tree/ as a group of sparrows was eyeing me/ it’s a long goodbye/ but i’m saying goodbye to winter/ I’m raking heaps of leaves to cast them aside/ checking there’s nobody inside/ just spotted a little mouse bathing in the sun/ others come and join her one by one.

Olga's Song
01:41
|
|||
|
heart filled with bitterness/ heart filled with gold/ heart filled with more love/ than it could ever hold/ i dream of sadness/ i dream of light/ i dream of something at the end of the night/ i drift to endless sleep/ in a universe of dying stars/ a coat of emeralds/ a sapphire dress/ a gown made of cat’s eye/ couldn’t save the duchess/ a heart that’s envious/ a heart that hoards/ there’s a beating heart/ beneath those wooden boards.

Sunken Treasure
01:42
|
|||
|
there’s not much hope/ for you and me tonight/ our world has turned/ to black and white/ i know you’re trying to get used to it/ but i can see you’re losing touch/ you wanna hope against hope i guess/ but you can see this love ain’t much/ but if you take a closer look/ you may find something inside/ and if you take a deeper look/ you may find something alright/ there might be a sunken treasure inside of me.

Give It Up
02:34
|
|||
|
there’s no love inside of you/ there’s no love inside of me/ there’s just nothing/ it’s plain to see/ and you’re losing track of me/ and i’m losing track of you/ while the morning sun comes through/ the raging sea has claimed your hard as its own/ into waters dark and deep/ where secrets lie/ and memories sleep/ and you don’t talk to me/ and i don’t talk to you/ there’s nothing left that’s tried and true/ and i’m forgetting about you/ and you’re forgetting about me/ and that’s the way it’s gonna be/ there’s a sense of sadness/ in everything that we do/ and there’s a glimpse of madness/ in every place with passing through.

The Trusty Old Tree
01:29
|
|||
|
the blue retreats and seems to fall asleep/ and only awakens/ to shine on and on and on and on/ when the day finally breaks/ a bird’s song is my religion/ and i let my thoughts fly free/ the blue sky tells a story/ and it must be about you and me/ a leaf returns from a crazy voyage/ all across town/ cracked color birdhouse/ filled with seeds and berries/ like a secret place/ but the old trusty tree has defeat in his eyes/ for the first time today.

Heart Of Darkness
01:47
|
|||
|
she laid her head/ on my chest/ as the sun burned/ down the west/ there's one thing we still got /this one last dance in this parking lot/ oh yeah i got a heart of darkness/ then she woke up/ into the fire/ and the flames kept/ dancing higher/ satan would laugh at her screams/ then she woke up from her dreams/ oh yeah i got a heart of darkness.

Waiting For The Sun
02:37
|
|||
|
now is the time/ to lay down your weary heart/ the stars have aligned/ for the world to fall apart/ this city is like an empty room/ full of neon lights and gloom/ the night is broken/ like a ship on the sea/ waiting for the sun/ to come up and follow me/ through the woods/ across mountains/ right to the sea/ let the hours flow right through my hands/ wipe away the clouds all over the land/ stars so tired/ they all start to look the same/ i can feel your heartbeat/ but you’re many miles away/ ain’t no words/ that we could say.

The Biggest Mystery
01:37
|
|||
|
moonbeams dance and sway/ lighting up the dark/ lunar dreams at play/ and silver haloed sparks/ cosmic tapestry/ draped with velvet beads/ distant worlds collide/ all beyond our reach/ if i want to see you/ I’ll watch for the biggest mystery/ in the sad but merry/ feast of stars/ tonight.

Passing Through
02:22
|
|||
|
i once sat in a room/ with a heavy heart/ at the end of the world/ and oceans apart/ into this lonely room/ marched a little cat/ with stormy fur/ and rainy paws on the doormat/ with the sleep still in my eyes/ i fixed a little meal/ and when i looked again/ it already had disappeared/ and as i went back to bed/ still falling apart/ i felt the cat beside me/ with a tiny beating heart/ awoke happy next day/ in the early dawn/ i took a quick look around/ but the cat was gone/ with the sleep still in my eyes/ i gave out a little cry/ didn’t want it to be true/ but the little cat was only passing through.

Diamond Heart
02:34
|
|||
|
heart of debris/ heart of dust/ a heart that’s courageous/ if it must/ heart of charcoal/ heart of clay/ a heart that was given to someone today/ a diamond heart/ everybody wants a diamond heart/ i knew you had one from the start/ heart of petrol/ heart of pearl/ a heart sucked into a crazy whirl/ heart of wire/ heart of wood/ a tainted heart that wants to be good/ the paint starts to flake on the iron horse/ the cities are losing their glow/ old houses being torn apart/ people going where nobody wants to go/ rust underneath/ the overgrowing leaves/ of your diamond heart.

The Crow's Song
01:32
|
|||
|
in the dead of winter/ i brought your fruit/ to the place where you dwelled/ a bag of pecans too/ when the snow disappeared you returned/ to bring something back to me/ neatly arranged at my windowsill/ a marble of turquoise/ a piece of wire/ a button of pearl/ and a chipped sapphire/ a shattered glass/ and a colorful pin/ a charm of golden/ and a scrap of tin/ the only thing the crow couldn’t do/ was to bring me a piece of you/ cause you were nowhere to be found.

Stars Align
02:16
|
|||
|
i’m following the trail of the northern star/ i’m lured to to the glow of the harvest moon/ when the seasons change i’m deep asleep/ when worlds collide i do not heed it/ trapped in the forest/ in the morning rain/ taken by a memory/ that i can’t explain/ lost on the sea/ where nobody can help me/ waiting for the stars to align/ for me/ when sleep arrives it’s oh so deep/ like the ancient ocean mysterious and dark/ black and blue like a sad loving heart/ trusty and true, it won’t break apart/ worries creeping into my dreams/ making my heart beat like thunder in the night/ lightning crashes high and low/ morning comes it will never go.
