Your Last Resort

When you've got nowhere else to go
Will you be calling me on the phone
Like you did not so long ago
When I said alright baby yeah you know
Yeah you know
But I didn't even get what I had come for
When I have you what you wanted, you always want more
And you don't worry about mine, well baby heh
That's just fine
'cause I won't be back around for the next time
The next time
When you've got nowhere else to go
And you call me up on the phone
But I tell you that I won't come through
And you've got the nerve to say I'm rude
Well I'm sure that you've got a new squeeze to drain
Just let me be so I can relieve
'Cause I'm finally letting go of the pain
Like all the other times when I was left out in the rain
In the rain

Empty Shore
03:56

I saw her from across the water (x2)
So I tied up my boat and I went to say (x2)
Never had I seen such a pretty day
Then she turned her pretty head and she looked my way (x2)
And I couldn't even think of a word to say
The green in her eyes, just like the fields back home
Her hair blowing in the wind, like tendrils of pure silk
Blowing in the wind (x2)
Tell me how did I get so lucky (x2)
Her voice, like a choir of angels singing just for me
Her voice, like a thousand angels, singing just for me
Tell me how did I get so lucky
To wake up and see your face
To get to see you sleeping
To get to see you in your grace
Now she's going so far away
And that's how it goes, or so they say
Maybe I'll see you another day
Maybe
Just maybe
I saw her from across the water (x2)
But when I got to the shore
She wasn't there anymore
She ran away to a distant land
Where she is holding another man's hand

Duality
02:24
|
|||
Well you know I'd rather be sitting beneath the trees
Not a care in the world, just doing exactly what I please
All the love in the air's got me thinkin' 'bout the birds and the bees
Sometimes I wonder if you ever even really loved me
Well you can't have light without the dark
Like the dance of the sun and the moon
Like yin and yang, separate but the same
Like hot and cold, cold like you soul
Well we use these things as measurements for our souls
We are all born with capacity for evil and good
Don't tell me that you have not ever harmed
'Cause we're all just human, to the end from the start

The Sound of my Silence
05:16
|
|||
I know my feelings show through (x2)
Through the sound of my silence
The Sound of my Silence bleeds through
Feels like I have known you all my life
But there's so much in the way

Sweet Sweet Lily
02:32
|
|||
My sweet, sweet Lily
She's so darn pretty
With her mother's eyes
It's no surprise
That I love my Lily, oh yeah
The days go by, and you keep on growing up
Where has the time gone
And can I do enough
For my sweet, sweet Lily I'm standing up
Things aren't the way I want
Mais c'est la vie
But that is life
My sweet, sweet Lily it'll be alright
Alright

Homesick
04:20
|
|||
When I'm at home
There's a feeling I can't shake
When I'm alone
I'm homesick, when I'm at home (x2)
'Cause my soul does not have a home (x2)
Some people just want a place to lay their head
Some place that they feel safe
When I'm at home
There's a feeling I can't shake
I'm homesick, when I'm at home (x4)
'Cause my soul does not have a home (x2)
Maybe one day, I will find my place
Maybe
I'm homesick again
I'm homesick, when I'm at home (x2)
'Cause my soul does not have a home (x2)

Always
03:45
|
|||
If I could show you what you mean to me
Would you still go?
If I could do it all again
Every up and every down
You know that I would
I'd cross an ocean, just to see you
One more time
I'd walk the desert of a million Sun's
To make you mine
It's clear to me why things had to be so temporary
There was snow on the ground
When I came back around
To help your friend
One small gesture to show, that I am here
To hold your hand
But I guess I didn't make the cut
When I fell into a rut
And I'm sorry for falling away
Into myself
But it's always been this way
I won't try to hold your hand anymore
Because you're trying to move forward
While I'm still here
But now I'm waking up to see
That there is so much left for me
And I'll see you 'round the bend
Said I'll see you 'round the bend
I'll see you 'round the bend
As a love and a friend
Always
Things just keep on changing
It's just the way it goes my friend

Weeping Moon
02:32
|
|||
Baby steps are what we take
Learning to walk again
After your legs were broken
Under the weeping moon
Sharing the light
Of the sun (x2)
Under the weeping moon, sharing the light (x2)
Of the sun (x2)
No, we shine on borrowed light
We are all just another's light
Baby steps are what we take
Learning to walk again
After your legs were broken
Under the weeping moon

Memory is a Ghost
03:16
|
|||
Back in the days when we were young
And in between the simple things
When nothing really mattered as much
Well, I can still recall
All those times
All those times
All those people
All those things I took for granted
Took for granted, yeah
Took for granted
No more

Echoes
03:29
|
|||
Don't waste all of your time
'Cause you won't get it back
Echoes from the future are warning me
Don't hold on
When I came back home yesterday
You were gone
You were no longer here to tell me everything that I
Needed to hear (x3)
Now I sit here by myself, all alone
But it's just a choice that I have made
Along the road
And you know it's paved with heartbreak
And moments I've lost
Try to keep my heart open, but
It might bleed you dry
Bleed you dry

Coffee and Cigarettes
03:12
|
|||
Wake up in the morning
Have myself a cigarette
Wake up in the morning
Coffee and a cigarette
Woke up this morning, didn't know where I was at
And I sure don't know how I'll be getting back
Just don't expect me
The walls were painted red
Smoke hangs heavy in the air
Woke up this morning, didn't know where I was at
I don't know where you are, and I sure don't know
How I'll be getting back
Back to you, my friend
Wake up in the morning, have myself a cigarette

Reality divided
Saw through the veil
In a room full of distant travellers
Sharing time and space
Balanced through inevitability
On a plane higher than me
They showed me something, something
To let me know, that I'm not alone
Not alone
The music fades away
My hands they shake
How can I look at anything the way I did before
When magic seems real, when the children
I said magic seems real
When the kids come out to play
The crashing waves
The red-orange flames
The crescent moon
The pinhole sky
The crashing waves
Fall over me
