"The Lacemaker"
Dreams are like water
Colourless and dangerous

"Mr Somewhere"
Day comes up sicker than a cat
Something's wrong that is that
Mr. somewhere missing somewhere
Never did figure just how much
A boat from the river takes you out
'Cross the other side of town, to get out,
To get out you take the tide, any tide,
Any tide like there isn't gonna be any tide
Mr. somewhere missing somewhere
Never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere
Never did figure just how much
A world like tomorrow wears things out
It's hard enough to get what's yours for now
And the hardest words are spoken softly,
Softly look, no hands upon
Mr. somewhere missing somewhere,
Never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere
Never did figure just how much
Now the milkman beats you to the door
That was once a home, home no more
Mr. Somewhere, missing somewhere
Couldn't get the calendar to stop
Missing somewhere
Never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere
Never will admit just how much

"Andialu"
instrumental

"With Tomorrow"
It was more like a dream than reality
I must have thought it was a dream while she was here with me
When she was near I didn't think she would leave
When she was gone it was too much to believe
So with tomorrow, I will borrow
Another moment of joy and sorrow
And another dream, and another
With tomorrow
So with the sun there won't be time just to look behind
There won't be reasons, no descriptions for my place and mind
There was so much I was told, it was not real
So many things that I could not taste, but I could feel
So with tomorrow, I will borrow
Another moment of joy and sorrow
And another dream, and another
With tomorrow

"Loose Joints"
instrumental

"You And Your Sister"
They say my love for you ain't real
But you don't know how real it feels
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you
Your sister says that I'm no good
I'd reassure her if I could
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you
Plans fail every day
I want to hear you say
Your love (run, run) won't be leaving (run, run)
Your eyes (run, run) ain't deceiving (run, run)
Fears will soon fade away
Smile now, don't be afraid
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you
And let me whisper in your ear
Don't you worry, they can't hear
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you

"Nature's Way"
"You know what we never did? We never danced."
It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
It's nature's way of telling you in a song
It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
It's nature's way of telling you summer breeze
It's nature's way of telling you dying trees
It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
It's nature's way, It's nature's way
It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
It's nature's way of telling you in a song
It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong

"I Come And Stand At Every Door"
I come and stand at every door
But no one hears my silent dread
I knock and yet remain unseen
For I am dead, for I am dead
I'm only seven although I've died
In Hiroshima long ago
I'm seven now as I was then
When children die they do not grow
My hair was scorched by swirling flame
My eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
Death came and turned my bones to dust
And that was scattered by the wind
I need no fruit, I need no rice
I need no sweet, nor even bread
I ask for nothing for myself
For I am dead, for I am dead
All that I ask is that for peace
You fight today, you fight today
So that the children of this world
May live and grow, and laugh and play

"Bitter"
How many ways can you say goodbye?
That was nothing
Just a little something.
How many days were in dreaming?
In many ways just a lie.
In better days I'd be dreaming.
As my life passed me by, by.
Now pardon me for trying.
Trying to tear apart.
And pardon me for lying.
It's just easy, so easy, to start.

"Baby Ray Baby"
(baby talk)

"Several Times"
Several times I looked in your eyes
Several times I saw you wishing to stop this
Ways much longer than, than we could see before
We started to walk, well actually we tried to go forward and...
Several times I looked in your eyes
Several times I saw you wishing to stop this

"The Lacemaker II"
instrumental

"Late Night"
When I woke up today
And you weren't there to play
Then I wanted to be with you
When you showed me your eyes
Whispered love at the skies
Then I wanted to stay with you
Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me
When I lay still at night
Seeing stars high and light
Then I wanted to be with you
When the rooftops shone dark
All alone saw a spark
Spark of love just to stay with you
Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me
If I mention your name
Turn around on a chain
Then the sky opens for you
When we grew very tall
When I saw you so small
Then I wanted to stay with you
Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me

"Ruddy And Wretched"
instrumental

"Help Me Lift You Up"
I don't have to tell you that you're all alone
Hear what you will, you're not gone
You'll have to be with your kind
I'll have to stay with my own kind
Help me lift you up, help me lift you up
So sorry if I can't stop pretending
So sorry if I don't let you go
Like this, but not like this is ending
I think you know, I think you know
Help me lift you up, help me lift you up
I have a dream, it's very clear
You're all around, but never near
Help me lift you up, help me lift you up

"Carolyn's Song"
I heard that you said that you feel all alone
Do you think that they could understand
When they told you go ahead
Is it in your head are you upside down
You drive around feeling sad
And I wish you everything I ever said
Do you understand, are you feeling dead?
Are you lost, are you sad?
Did I leave you alone?
Do you think that I don't understand?
What it's like to feel all alone?

"D. D. And E."
Daylight, dreams, and echos

"'Til I Gain Control Again"
Just like the sun over the mountain top
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning times
Like sunlight dancing on your skin
I've never gone so wrong as for telling lies to you
What you've seen is what I've been
There is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I can
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
'Til I can gain control again
Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
And mark a sailors' journey end
No matter what seas I have been sailing on
I'll always row this way again
Out on the roads that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
'Til I can gain control again
I only hope that you can hold me now
'Til I can gain control again

"Dreams Ara Like Water"
The air was blue. You could hold it in your hand, blue.
Remember me, I once told you and I tried to.
Said to realize that nothing lasts forever.
Golden heart, You'll always be a child.
We cried as we kissed, it was too new.
We died and we lived, it was too new.
Too strong still too much.
When you were a child unhappiness took the place of dreams.
Dreams are like water, colorless and dangerous.
Without the strength to love, way beyond fear.
You could care less if you could care at all.
We cried as we kissed, it was too new.
We died and we lived, it was too new.
Too strong still too much.

"I Am The Cosmos"
Every night I tell myself
"I am the cosmos, I am the wind"
But that don't get you back again
Just when I was starting to feel okay
You're on the phone
I never wanna be alone
Never wanna be alone
I hate to have to take you home
Want you too much to say no, no,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Never wanna be alone
I hate to have to take you home
Want you too much to say no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My feeling's always happening
Something I couldn't hide
I can't confide
Don't know what's going on inside
So every night I tell myself
"I am the cosmos, I am the wind"
But that don't get you back again
I'd really like to see you again
I really wanna see you again
Really wanna see you again

"(Nothing But) Blood"
Should have been enough to change your mind.
Could have been enough to take my breath away.
Should have been enough to change your mind.
Could have been enough to take my breath away.
Oooh, amazing bird hide, too shy.
Should have been enough to change your mind.
Could have been enough to take my breath away.
Should have been enough to change your mind.
Could have been enough to take my breath away.
Oooh, amazing bird hide, too shy.
Should have been enough to change your mind
Could have been enough to take your breath away
Should have been enough to change your mind
Could have been enough to take your breath away
Oooh, amazing bird hide, too shy
No matter how you try.
No matter how many times it takes.
No matter how you try.
No matter how many times it takes.
?????
The light it start to sing.
Goodnight.
The air was blue you could hold it in your hand blue.
It's now or never.
Mind's eyes they start to grow.
The half moon is aching.
The light it start to sing.
The air was blue you could hold it in your hand blue
