- As The World Rises And Falls
Your eyes have grown tired of
Hunting for the fox and the owl
For smooth stones
And a safe place to hide
In the hills is near your home
Now you walk with bare feet through the wet sand
And a boy sees you and comes running over
- Bookshop Casanova
After all the lights go low we find ourselves alone
We could be just anywhere but no one's going home
You got my name, pick up my number
Come on darling, let's be lovers
You got my name, pick up my number
Come on darling, let's be lovers
- Dreams Of Leaving
goodnight my angel of the dark
moonlight rising on the park
i gotta go, it’s nearly morning
though leaving you will break my heart
don’t be afraid of dreams of leaving
remember they are only dreams
they have no meaning in the sunlight
- E.M.P.T.Y.
When I'm riding home at night now
I get in so tired
To the saws and bows that spell out
E-M-P-T-Y
But driving west now
Half-past five
My skin is cut
- Emptily Through Holloway
cancel the car
to number ten
such a thick fog rolling in
I played my cards
on unreal glass
I left the party next to last
Friday night to Sunday morning I go on
- Falling Asleep
Voices nude in the quiet house
Something, a muffle shining on us
Something in the night is on
The smell in blue
Clouded with it, whispering
A crossing park
A little crowded house
- I Had to Say This
Nightingales all summer long beside me in my mind
One and one is nine the moon the june moths and the quiet.
I have never really been here If I am alive
Am I just a photograph inside a printed night?
How much further can we drive and how much can I take?
Am I just a monograph inside a printed shape?
- I Hope I Know You
Close your eyes, take your time
There's a bad night on the rise and
So we take one step aside
There's a bad night on the rise
Nervous Girl who plays your parents
Staring down at me
My Dad will soon be home from work
- I Wonder Who We Are
Friday night
And I don't have a clue
Just in the crowd
We're dreaming as we move
I wonder who we are
I wonder who we are
Tonight
- Make You Mine - But the rain has brought the night, And the night has brought the rain
In the silence of the garden
Moss arizing on the wind
And the beast is pondering love love love
'Till the rusty nail grow dim
I can't seem to make you mine
Through the long and lonely night
And I try so hard, darling
- My own face inside the trees
All the pines that shiver in the park
Kick my fever through the dark
Through the railings and the iron
Empty bars and tenement lines
Something slips back into place
For a second there's a trace
Of my face inside the trees
Sudden light in everything
- Nothing Here Is What It Seems
Raindrops falling on my shoulder
Play me like a violin
Nightmares rising in the alleys
Nothing here is what it seems
Oh my darling oh my darling
Let me come into your life
Let the rain fall in the garden
- Paul Verlaine
There’s a note
That the world plays out of tune
Some silver afternoon
And you see the sunlight dying on the lawn
Paul Verlaine, Paul Verlaine
Such an in- such an insubstantial day
Sometimes in a lonely alleyway
- Reflections after Jane
Butterflies with gilded wings this morning
Touched the red sun and the rain
On the bridge the workers pass in threes and fours and
fives
To my sleeplessness
Reflections after Jane
How I long to live inside a window
- we could walk together
We could walk together
In the jade and the coolness of the evening light
And watch the crowds serenely flow
Through carnivals of shop windows where elm trees sigh
The summer's heat is fading
And the clown on the golden lawn holds out his hand
And out there on the fading day
