1. Spent Forever
How long
are you going to wait for Someday?
Someday, it will all fade away.
But the vision still remains.
I spent forever looking for Someday.
So much has changed,
but someday never came,
and the vision still remains.
I look out at your world, and all I see is pain.
"Someday" will never be the same,
but the vision still remains.
How long
are you going to wait for Someday?
Someday – it will all fade away.
But the vision still remains.
2. Come Talk to Me
I have to
write this song to you
'Cause you are a dream I want to live
I meet you where the rocks grow with the trees
You've got wild hair, you're wearing short sleeves
This is a
song about trying to reach you
Not knowing how to, I want you to speak out
Man, come
talk to me, come feel my breeze
Find out my number, call me before slumber
Man, come
talk to me, I want to look at you
Show me who you are, I want to look at you
Man, teach
me what to say to you
I meet you near the rocks, come talk to me
I want to know you
Man, come
talk to me, come feel my breeze
Find out my number, call me before slumber
3. horse on the shore
There is
a woman who holds a love in her eye
Last year on her birthday she let herself cry
{…chorus:}
Oh, the shore reaches the waves
I made my horse behave
There is
a woman who says her words out loud
She dared to show up and stand before the crowd
{…}
There is a woman who grew a thousand trees
Her body is floating like a tree's leaf in the breeze
{…}
There is a woman - well, she laughed, all right
Maybe she'll walk the streets and walk out her strife
{…}
There is a woman who wouldn't make a sound
Now she is crawling back down on the ground
{…}
I was a woman talking to your grave
'Til you gave me this space
Where my soul got really saved
{…}
4. Here Dreaming
What if you're just another one who's going to pass on by? What if you're just another one who's just going to pass on by? I refuse to relive all those tears I've cried.
{…chorus:}
So I'm just going to sit here dreaming of you holding my hand. I'm just
going to sit here dreaming of you being my man.
I'm not going
to tell you of all the things I've been thinking you could do to me when
the time is right, but it doesn't look like tonight.
{…}
Man, you don't know a thing about me. You don't know how long it took
to get free of a hell where no one roams (so alone).
{…}
Everyone told me I shouldn't tell you. They said I'd be playing it wrong.
So the only thing left for me to do is crash this song
5. Whoever Dares
My brother
bent down ‘til he could bend no more.
There he found this secret, golden door.
{…chorus:}
There is only one whoever dares to know you.
There is only one who always sees right through you.
My brother
plays for a crowd with men that know the groove. He yells out loud to
make the feeling move.
{…}
My brother will hold a boy, teaching him a world
Where life becomes a toy - light unfurled.
{…}
My brother has got to know he’s talking straight to me.
Leaping across - secret glow, he’s thrown me the keys
{…}
I know his core, burnt beyond a rhyme.
Rose with a thorn, ‘til nothing left is mine.
There’s a thousand things I will never say to you.
I wear a hundred rings – that many times, “I do.”
Please give this to him in this ocean full of graves.
Please give this to him though we are not these waves.
6. Out in the Ocean
I dreamt I saw you again, I dreamt you held me close. Then you turned to go as your mind said no.
{…chorus:}
But I'm not searching for you anymore,
I'm not knocking on your door.
I may remember your number, but I don't know whose name it's under.
No one matched
you, no one took your place.
No one looks like you, no one has your face.
{…}
If I dreamt of your hair,
It doesn't mean that I still care.
I'm out in
the ocean now. You will never find me again. I'm out in the ocean now,
not looking for you, not looking for men.
{…}
I dreamt of you last night
And you were holding me tight.
7. Seed to Burn
I walk the
road for one hundred thousand miles.
I'm still looking for you - still trying to get through.
Some say you're a man, some say you're the end.
But I know you're just another seed to burn out
So I can fly back to my clouds.
So take this as you like,
'Cause one way or another I'll make it all right.
I know you're just another seed to burn out...
So I can get back to my clouds.
I'll go back from where I came
The place with no name,
Whether or not you stay the same.
Take it or leave it, celebrate it or grieve it...
8. Couldn't Get Enough
{…chorus:}
They couldn't get enough, they couldn't get enough,
they could never get enough…
Dried up,
twisted, deported or enlisted, somehow all gone. Running and running,
but never in the swing, somehow all gone…
{…}
Spinning in their head, looking for a bed, somehow all gone. Lying about
the red, lying about the dead, somehow all gone…
{…}
Murdering their dreams, popping out of the seams, somehow all gone. Shrinking
into the dark, cannot make a mark, somehow all gone…
{…}
I have got
a dream, burnt into bone ivory. I won't let you tell me I'm not enough.
I won't let you tell the dream is too rough, 'cause this is the dream
I am burning into your ivory.
9. This Time.
The incredible emptiness, where no one waits and no one calls, and no one is here -- what is left is only sound.
And I take my boat far, far away from your shore of unfulfilled desire.
And I set out into this lonely sea of two thousand goodbyes.
It is close to winter. The leaves are yellow. And they fall as quickly
as yesterday. And as quickly as yesterday I am lost again.
And I'm sorry,
but this time I'm not going to try to find my way back.
10. Drop the Crown
{…chorus:}
You are broken into me, so I break into you
I won't say who you are, you are the shattered glass
I won't say who you are, you are flag at half-mast
I lay this
life down for you
I drop the crown for you
{…}
I curse sanity for you
I would cross the sea for you
{…}
I burn these eyes for you
I roll this dice for you
{…}
I sink this throat for you
I wrong these notes for you
I lay my life down for you
I drop the crown for you
I drop the crown for you.
11. No Less
This is no
less than my death
So don't you ask me why it took so long to try
This is no less than thunder
But now I've got the reason to remember
I'm going
back to the city
April Fool's Day all the way
You are there: what will you say?
This is no
less than my death
And those who march before me
Have handed me the key
This is no
less than thunder
I will scream until you hear it
'Cause I need you to be near it
I'm going
back to the city
April Fool's Day all the way
You are there: what will you say?
12. These Cages
My father
is broken down
Locked up in his home
Won't let anyone around
My mother is broken down
Sewing up her wings
So she can fly from a hospital ground
{…chorus:}
I've still got these cages
I need you to free me from
So there's no more sense
In my trying to run
The beauty
is broken down
Locked up in your doll
That will never make her own sound
My last man is broken down
He refused to call
Rumor has it he's back in town
{…}
13. Let This Happen
The part
of me that knows you're separate
Wants to drive back out
To where I know you are
And follow you around
Looking at you
And hearing what you say
I told myself
I'd let this experience happen
The ache, the burn.
The aching
is ancient
The glass is half-full with a vision
Of the most beautiful man I've ever seen
I told myself I'd let this experience happen
The ache, the burn.
14. Feel My Breeze
I have to
write this song to you
'Cause you are a dream I want to live
I meet you where the rocks grow with the trees
You've got wild hair, you're wearing short sleeves
This is a
song about trying to reach you
Not knowing how to, I want you to speak out
Man, come
talk to me, come feel my breeze
Find out my number, call me before slumber
Man, come
talk to me, I want to look at you
Show me who you are, I want to look at you
Man, teach
me what to say to you
I meet you near the rocks, come talk to me
I want to know you
Man, come
talk to me, come feel my breeze
Find out my number, call me before slumber
