Deranged
02:39
|

We needed something, something more
We needed something, better than before
We needed someone to understand
To hear ourselves again
Every motion touched me sickly
Like TV channels changing quickly
Moments stand still, but feelings change
Some of us feel deranged
Some of us feel deranged
Heaven knows what we have been through
Secret moments you dropped me into
You showed up briefly the other night
You touched my soul with sight
I heave my sickness into flame
I keep my distance from distant names
I made this skin with tooth & nail
I saved all of your mail
I saved all of your mail

Julia, no, I don't love you
But Julia, I want to see you
Julia, can I come see you tonight?
Julia, I make no promise
I'm sure you'd rather I be honest
Julia, can I come see you tonight?
Julia
Julia
When I saw you at the concert
I could not bring myself to dance
Julia, give me another chance
I am just a little nervous
To be feeling something more than
Physical attraction - to you
Julia

Roll On
04:50
|

There is a song blowin' down from the hills that you keep runnin' through
There is a whistle in the sky windin' down towards you
There is a wave, by and by, chasing after me
There is a man on the road, walkin' plain alone
With no map in his hands, he don't know where he's goin'
But he'd always said that he would be free
Roll on, roll on, roll on, into the morning blue
Hike on, hike on, hike on, I'll help you see it through
If you're alone, then you'll know you're there
There is a place in the trees where I have gone before
To make amends, bend the bends, & look for nothin' more
Than what I see, what I feel, & what I hear
There is a palace of doom, & a palace of light
There is a kingdom of day, & a kingdom of night
& lookin' round, from the ground, none of them are all that near
Roll on, roll on, roll on, into the night ahead
Hike on, hike on, hike on, I'll see the dawn instead
The past will follow you anywhere
If there's one thing I regret, it's that I missed the spring
When you came to collect all your shoes & things
& that I couldn't be there to see you go
But from the things that I hear, you didn't take it so bad
I left you a full tank of gas, now, honey, ain't you glad?
I was a fool, maybe that's true, but I just didn't know
Roll on, roll on, roll on, down by the ocean bay
Hike on, hike on, hike on, maybe you'll see the day
That I won't be here, & you won't be there
Roll on, roll on, roll on, I was fed up with trying
Move on, move on, move on, now with the morning dying
The wind blows hard everywhere

Close To You
03:19
|
|||
If I was the night, I'd bathe you in light from the stars & moon
& if I was the wind, I'd drift by your chin in the afternoon
But I'm tangled in flesh with a heart that, at best, can beat hard & true
If I had it my way, I'd spend every day close to you
Some other guys may command you to stay & unwrap your heart
& then holdin' your eyes & tellin' you lies, they'll tear you apart
But my mind is a field where a wagon with wheels is rollin' through
If I had it my way, I'd spend every day close to you
I'm just a guy, & I
Have no plans
& if you ask why, I'll just say
Please - can I be your man?
Can I be your man?
Can I be your man?
My favorite thought is one I have not yet shared with you
But I'm worried that I would say it & sigh & not get it through
But my words ain't enough & my words they are rough, & barely true
Suffice it to say that I just wanna stay close to you

Late Last Night
07:17
|

When I saw you late last night
When I saw you on the street
When I saw you with my friends
When I saw you late last night
Now this beach is killing me
It's getting dark, too dark to see
Won't you tell me what it means to be
Just a wave rollin' 'cross the sea
Won't you tell me what it means to be
Now this beach is killing me
Now this beach is killin' me
Well I'd like to meet my friends
I'd like to meet my friends again
I like to see them late at night
With the moonlight in their skin
With the streetlight in my eyes
I'd like to meet them at the bar
I'd like to meet them on the street
When I saw you on the street
When I saw you with my friends
I'd like to meet my friends again
When I saw you late last night
When I saw you on the street
When I saw you with my friends
Now this beach is killing me
Won't you tell me what it means to be
With the moonlight in their skin
With the streetlight in my eyes
I'm just a wave rollin' 'cross the sea
From New York to Italy
Won't you tell me what it means to be
Won't you tell me what it means to be
I'd like to meet my friends again
I'd like to meet my friends again
I'd like to meet them on the street
I'd like to see them late at night
When I saw you late last night
When I saw you late last night
When I saw you late last night
When I saw you late last night
When I saw you late last night

This is where I belong
In the part of the basement
That contained you & me
When we were only sixteen
This is where I belong
Up against city windows
Watching people pretend
& then join & forgive them
This is where I belong
Talking to my companion
Thinking about his face
Thinking about his future
This is where I belong
Talking to my companion
Thinking about her eyes
Thinking about my chances
This is where I belong
In a dress, in a jumpsuit
In a suitjacket tie
In the skin of a woman
This is where I belong
With my bones & my heartache
On the street where we walked
& I asked you to dinner
This is where I belong
With my bones & my footsteps
With the trash & the oil
With a thought hanging silent
This is where I belong
With the moon singing heavy
Where the trees bend & blow
With a thought hanging silent
This is where I belong
In the part of the basement
Where the heat engine whines
Where the air vent's athsmatic
This is where I belong
In the part of the basement
Where the moon's hanging low
When we were only sixteen
This is where I belong
This is where I belong
This is where I belong
This is where I belong

To Love & To Kiss
03:51
|
|||
There's a shadow, fills my head
& my shoes are filled with lead
It's not the first time I've felt this way
But I wish, I wish it would go away
I been walkin' with a shiver in my knee
Since I tried to live my life for only me
I never should have said the things I said
I should have loved you all the way instead
The snow is like a blanket on the soul
Takes only one night to unroll
I'll determine how to handle this
But I wish I had someone to love & kiss

Good Morning
06:06
|
|||
I won't give you wine & bread
I will give you shoes instead
& away they soon will take you
Together & awake, you will be whole
I won't ask you to be glad
I know the sun can make you sad
It rises in the distance,
Enlivens the resistance in your soul
Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
You have cast your shadow, long
& now you sing your shadow song
It echoes in the hallways
Takes my mind & always takes it slow
You are older, wiser too
But I could swear your eyes were blue
The last time that I saw you,
But that was such a long, long time ago
Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
We are sitting side by side
If we freeze, at least we tried
To make it through the winter
Blisters, burns & splinters all behind
We are nearly on our own
Tell me what we'll do when we are
Alone & young & wild
I believe it makes me smile, in my mind
Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
