I thought it was raining, it was just the flies hitting her sliding door window, one at a time Echoes of screaming, Pastel pink sighs, Filling up the bathtub with tears from all your lies Now the house is left empty, a still watercolour, I put fresh sheets on her bed it’s all I could offer You say that you love me so much, that you’re losing sleep You can’t say that you love me, cos I know that you don’t give a damn about me Because it makes no difference, when you’re young and alone It makes no difference, when you ain’t got nobody you can call your home It makes no difference, now that I’ve run out of cash What makes the difference is knowing that all the love I have in my heart can never last

Just a moment, Just a moment Just a moment, Just a moment Just a moment, Just a moment Just a moment, Just a moment I know I say it all the time, I’ve got a problem with repeating myself I know I say it all the time, I’ve got a problem with repeating myself I know I say it all the time, I’ve got a problem with repeating myself I just love being by your side, don’t need nobody else Living this colourful life, under the sigh of the sun Living this colourful life, under the sigh of the sun Living this colourful life, under the sigh of the sun I find peace in the busy mess, hiding in your nest Just a moment with you is a lifetime in heaven

This old man walked down charcoal streets For years and years the sand beat down on his dune cheeks He said to me, “Don’t search for her in all you meet, for she is gone you see” “And I am here, but also not here, simultaneously” “And I am here, but also not here, simultaneously” This is not what I had planned, I’m reliving this part of me, Over and over again Recycle the tears that I cried Spin cycle, and hang me out to dry

Haze 02:27
I was always there, through the smoky air, I could find your eyes fine, absolutely anytime I was always there, I would sing to you, As you had them closed tight I was always there, listening to your legs carry you, through the ferns, the forest and the fire I was always there, I thought my heart would burst, as I watched you slee, next to me, when you were sick But then you chose to go, and leave me in this slumber on my own What did we waste all that time for? If I had have known, Oh, if I had have known It’s gone we are no more, when I arrive you’re already out that door, What did we waste all that time for? If I had have known, Oh, if I had have known Why don’t you do me a favour and just walk away Slip back into the haze from which you came

Do you really need words to formulate a conversation Cohesiveness is nothing compared to lightweight articulation Avoid hard surface abrasions, hide your heart and hide your soul Instead let it sprout from the soil, uncoil and unfold See I think that I’ve got something that I wanna tell you But I don’t want it to get lost in your white russian translation Avoid hard surface abrasions hide your heart and hide your soul Instead let it sprout from the soil, uncoil and unfold For you, my soul is bare, and my heart is as open as the sky When I see you pass me by, Oh for you for you for you, my tears have dried
6.
Orion's Belt 04:17
Hold me tight, endlessly, For the night troubles me Take away my melancholia and fill me up with joy I am yours and you are my only boy Hold me tight, endlessly, Warm against winter’s sleep The constellations you speak about sound so wonderful And I am yours, and you my only joy Like champagne bubbles rise, it is no surprise for me to have fallen for you Like stars up in the sky it’s only natural darling for me to love you
7.
Cyclone 03:44
Wind whipping through, voices dancing Waves crashing, in between your eyelids Lightning strikes as you stare me down And over and over and over and over again we find ourselves in that deep end Rip off your rosary, For goodness sake, be who you’re supposed to be, for me
8.
It is such a comfort, to open my eyes in the morning And see you in slumber, next to me It is such a comfort, to know that if I reach out in the night, Your arms will find me It’s the sweetest thing to know, my eyes will find yours In the depth of the crowd at my show And I feel your eyes on my when I’m not looking My walls are down darling you don’t have to break in You don’t have to break them down
