I thought you were weeping
when I slipped out, the screen door slams
maybe you awoke or stopped playing pretend
I'm not going to lie no more
I'm not going to lie again
Are you tired of running
and not getting ahead?
There are reasons that we run you know
They're all inside your head
I could have stayed
but my mind sniffed at the old decay
Eighteen years
I kissed this place goodbye
No more last nights
In the same hotels, where the coopers sells
and all the sense I had went down the wishing well
This city ain't dead to me
It's got an eternal last breath
Are you tired of running
and not getting ahead?
There are reasons that we run you know
They're all inside your head
The newspaper falls on your east side porch
The radio reports another white wine display
There's one who fights and one who races
up through the hills and interstate
Are you tired of running
and not getting ahead?
There are reasons that we run you know
They're all inside your head
They're all inside your head
They're all inside your head

The Kind Of Woman I Need
02:50
|
|
||
She won't lose her innocence
she won't bite her tongue
She'll make time for memories
when the works still not done
She won't throw her shadows ever my way
She'll tell me near everything
I'll know every word she says to me
This is the kind of woman I need
She'll tell me I'm strange not tell me I'm wrong
Let that old string be however long
She'd love Me tender
She'd love me True
She'd do it for Elvis
She'd do it for me
This is the kind of woman I need
She'd mispronounce my name for a week
Correcting her twice wouldn't help it sink in
One of a kind I'd let her down slow
she'd feel so foolish
she'd feel like hiding alone
but she wouldn't leave
This is the kind of woman I need
This is the kind of woman I need
Endlessly exposed but forever composed
her wisdoms for her and not for to boast
She'd take the paddock instead of the path
She's following heart and seldom is she following me
This is the kind of woman I need
She's telling it all not telling her truth to me
Breaking my mould she's my best enemy
Not acting herself she's not acting at all
Forgetting she's human forgetting that she's
She's the kind of woman I need
She's the kind of woman I need
She's the kind of woman I need
This is the kind for me
This is the kind of woman I need

Well it feels like love
got the better of me again
I was reaching out for something
that never was real
I wish I'd known back then
I took your scent
and tied it to our stories end
Always thinking back
to when your perfume made me weak
I wish we'd never met
'Cause now I know
Hidden between
the sainthood and the cruel
Everybody's Still Somebody's Fool
You took me to the land
My knees, and then my hands, they followed
I heard you slept with a football star
but you weren't mine to keep
I wish I'd never known
I'm saddened when you're distant
and I'm distant when you're near
I dreamt our love was sacred
but how dreams do dissapear
I wish I'd told you then
'Cause now I know
Hidden between
the sainthood and the cruel
Everybody's Still Somebody's Fool
Everybody's Still Somebody's Fool
Well I know now love
got the better of me and so
I feel like forced forgetting
substitutes me letting go
but I can't be letting go
no I can't be letting go
I can't be letting go
'Cause now I know
Hidden between
the sainthood and the cruel
Everybody's Still Somebody's Fool
Everybody's Still Somebody's Fool
Everybody's Still Somebody's Fool

Still I Fall
03:43
|
|
||
I put my love on hold 'til I'm in control
now I'm dead with patience or dying cold
I've never felt so small so when freedom calls
Well I won't be swinging like a wrecking ball
'Cause it feels like all that I've fallen for
Well I keep on falling for again
It's the same old love that I've felt before
and it never changes, but still I fall
Well we'll move out and you'll touch my face
while we're dancing in the pouring rain
Then I won't answer, I'll be careless
I'll need help, but have no one to call
and still I fall
'Cause it feels like all that I've fallen for
Well I keep on falling for again
It's the same old love that I've felt before
and it never changes, but still I fall
Now I'm feeling like before at another door
making the same mistakes I was before
but nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
nothing ever changes anymore
'cause we're careless, impatient, all get frustrated
when freedoms through the other door
but nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
nothing ever changes anymore
'Cause it feels like all that I've fallen for
Well I keep on falling for again
It's the same old love that I've felt before
and it never changes, but still I fall

Lay Your Letters Down
04:18
|
|

Lay your letters down
Lay your letters down
Let me hold your thoughts
Won't you breathe with me, breathe with me
We'll forget we ever fought
Read me when I'm down
Read me when I'm down
I'll take you when I'm floating
When you sink, when you sink
I'm pulling you to shore
When I hold you darling
When I hold you darling
Just a touch on this hand
For now, forever
I could watch you
Hang my heart on a star
and trust you'll understand
Take my hand
Show your world to me
Show your world to me
Let me deep inside
Won't you stay with me, stay with me
I don't care if it's right
When I hold you darling
When I hold you darling
Just a touch on this hand
For now, forever
I could watch you
Hang my heart on a star
and trust you'll understand
Take my hand
Lay your letters down
Lay your letters down
Let me hold your thoughts
Won't you breathe with me, breathe with me
We'll forget we ever fought

Blind
03:11
|
|
||
Quarrelling and quivering
Coming out and coming in
Pretending that I knew you once
A conversation every month
Marriages and melancholy
Steeples, sex and wine so holy
Horrid lines drawn in the deep
You follow visions while you sleep
This could send me spiteful
This could turn me kind
You won't guilt me into nothing
I'll pretend I'm blind, blind
I'll pretend I'm blind
Battling and bottling
All that this frustration brings
Everything I said you'd hold
Is all that's empty in your soul
Riddling and rambling
All you say is not what it seems
and I'm supposed to know you best
You make me feel I know you less
This could send me spiteful
This could turn me kind
You won't guilt me into nothing
I'll pretend I'm blind, blind
I'll pretend I'm blind
This could send me spiteful
This could turn me kind
You won't guilt me into nothing
I'll pretend I'm blind, blind
I'll pretend I'm blind

Gone Is The Ever Unknown
03:44
|
|
||
Gone, Gone, Gone
are the rolling stones and the travellers forever forgotten
I've left my home at eighteen years old
to see where those travellers had trodden
I saw the sea and the sea saw me
from valleys to temples and rain
I thought I knew of love like a true white dove
but I couldn't be a preacher for pain
Gone Is the ever, Gone Is the ever unknown
Gone Is the ever, Gone Is the ever unknown
Cruel, Cruel, Cruel
is the kind old curse
who is tempting to send them down stream
Down, Down, Down
to the waters coffee brown
bound for rapids before they've seen the sea
Gone Is the ever, Gone Is the ever unknown
Gone Is the ever, Gone Is the ever unknown
Gone, Gone, Gone
is the ever unknown
so let this be a vow to take your turn
I thought I saw the sea and the sea saw me
truth speaks, we've all so much to learn
Gone Is the ever, Gone Is the ever unknown
Gone Is the ever, Gone Is the ever unknown
Gone Is the ever, Gone Is the ever unknown
Gone Is the ever, Gone Is the ever unknown

Thought Of A Child
03:10
|
|
||
At the waters edge lost in the reeds
I noticed something then forgot how to breathe
I recall she whispered “It's soon on it's way”
I know I said something with no idea what to say
I'm hearing distant echoes
as though I'm still afraid
Up here on the borderline of sufference and ache
It's hard to walk, It's hard to wait
It's hard to stay awake
I know I broke it
I felt the poor hand shake
I'm sure it's only war and bickering to blame
I stare to the ripples followed by the rising tide
I await the remedy that's both hers and mine
I'm hearing distant echoes
as though I'm still afraid
Up here on the borderline of sufferance and ache
It's hard to walk, It's hard to wait
It's hard to stay awake

Bad Lover
03:26
|
|
||
I'm starting to see there are pieces of me
that don't quite work, they exist just to hurt
I am needing to learn but only I can teach me
Things will always work out you just have to believe
Don't get hurt 'cause I'm a bad lover, a bad lover
Don't get hurt 'cause I'm a bad lover, a bad lover
Reasons untold why I've acted bold
'cause there is history I hide to help keep me whole
pain I've pushed aside, lord knows I've not lied
but I don't keep no secrets
I just keep what is better off mine
Don't get hurt 'cause I'm a bad lover, a bad lover
Don't get hurt 'cause I'm a bad lover, a bad lover
I'm asking for freedom not asking for time
don't be cruel you know we're selfish sometimes
You can't make a mortal choose between love and love
resentment is sure when your passion is lost
Don't get hurt 'cause I'm a bad lover, a bad lover
Don't get hurt 'cause I'm a bad lover, a bad lover

Learning To Quit
04:05
|
|
||
Back at the start
wearing the scars
Never thought of others ways out
It's not like I'm a fool
or uncontrollable
everybody's got their habits and their doubts
I know I know I know this is a selfish game
I know I sold or traded all I had for hurt & pain
I know I know I know I know this ain't the wisest way
but we were never taught to quit
I lost the game
over and over again
but I'm the one that never shows
All I ever loaned
made me lonelier
no one for me not even as my enemy
I know I know I know this is a selfish game
I know I sold or traded all I had for hurt & pain
I know I know I know I know this ain't the wisest way
But we were never taught to quit
I know I know I know this is a worthless game
I know I sold or traded all I had for hurt and pain
I know I know I know I know is a childish way
I know I'll turn in time you just give me one more day
I know I know I know I know I know I know
I know I know I know I know this ain't the wisest way
I sold I sold I sold I sold all my hope for blame
I know I'm not to hold onto my thoughts this way
I know what loneliness is and I've dealt with shame
I know I know I know I know this ain’t the only way
but we were never taught to quit
we were never taught to quit
