Can't Drink Enough
02:07
|

I can't drink enough.
I still remember
what year it is
and all the things I've done.
I can't drink enough.
I still recall
the name I have
and who I have become.
When it seems that I am close
I lose what I've built up...
I don't want to sober up
I don't want to go to work
I don't want to be so old
I don't want to be so bald
I didn't mean to live this long
So take the world, it's yours
I've given it up
My warmest regards
but I can't drink enough
to turn back time
and start again.

Good-Bye, Mountains
02:40
|
|||
Good-bye, Mountains,
You shelter me no more.
Hello, Blue Sky,
If I was ever home...
Despite compassion
that I discovered there
Good-Bye, Mountains
It's in these years I roam.
I roam like the wild dog that I can be.
I roam while I am almost young
and almost free.
I roam until I escape what I have done.
So,
Good-bye, Mountains,
You shelter me no more.
Hello, Blue Sky,
If I was ever home...
Despite compassion
that I discovered there
Good-Bye, Mountains
It's in these years I roam.
And it's in these years I roam.

Have a Little Butter
02:01
|
|||
Have your cake and eat it too...
Have a couple hours, see what we can do...
Nothing in the cupboard, nothing on the shelf...
Have a little Butter with your bread as well.
I really didn't mean to be arriving late,
But she exploded on me like a jailbreak.
You only get one chance, as far as I can tell...
Have a little butter with your bread as well.
"If Music be the food of Love, play on..."
A man's gotta eat, even when you're gone.
I know I'm not going to get cooking all by myself...
Have a little butter with your bread as well.
Have a little butter
Have a little butter
Have a little butter with your bread as well.

Kindling

Little light glowing little light
Little light glowing in the night
help me to see tings right
I stoked the fire for you, didn't I?
I stoked the fire for you, little light
Daytime is half as bright.
Kindling and tinder
Kindling and tinder
Don't you go out on me
Don't you go out on me, little light
Stay until we see sunshine
When I can't see
When you can't see
all we need
is just a little light
Kindling and tinder
kindling and tinder

Trouble, My Lord
02:45
|
|||
I'm in trouble, my Lord
Can I survive myself tonight?
I'm in trouble, my Lord
will I survive myself?
Already been here
and got out.
I'm in trouble, my Lord
Can I survive myself tonight?
I'm in trouble, my Lord
will I survive myself?
Somehow I am
full of doubt.
I'm in trouble, my Lord
Can I survive myself tonight?
I'm in trouble, my Lord
will I survive myself?
What have I done to
make this my fate?
I'm in trouble, my Lord
Can I survive myself tonight?
I'm in trouble, my Lord
will I survive myself?
Find an unlocked door
then it's too late.
I'm in trouble, my Lord
Can I survive myself tonight?
I'm in trouble, my Lord
will I survive myself?

Long Time Coming
02:59
|
|||
It's been a long time (long time)
Long time coming.
Been a long time (long time)
Long time coming.
It's been a long time (long time)
Long time coming
Now it's gone, gone, gone.
Sometimes I feel like I wasted my youth
(Long time coming, long time coming)
before this wake of unfinished pursuits.
I'm taking off, you're taking recruits,
It's been a long time coming on.
It's been a long time (long time)
Long time coming.
Been a long time (long time)
Long time coming.
It's been a long time (long time)
Long time coming
Now it's gone, gone, gone.
There were those years I gave you a home,
(long time coming, long time coming)
Worked two jobs and gave you all I own.
Now you're gone, I'm down to THIS one!
It's been a long time coming on.
It's been a long time (long time)
Long time coming.
Been a long time (long time)
Long time coming.
It's been a long time (long time)
Long time coming
Now it's gone, gone, gone.
Just when I found myself
I found myself alone.
Locked me out for a couple of hours
and I came back to an empty home.
I always fold to the power of Love
(long time coming, long time coming)
Four years holding your purse and holding my tongue.
We didn't stop until YOU had enough
and that's a long time coming on!
It's been a long time (long time)
Long time coming.
Been a long time (long time)
Long time coming.
It's been a long time (long time)
Long time coming
Now it's gone, gone, gone.

Whistlin'
02:35
|

Fall into a safe zone
somewhere in my headphones
when I'm feeling alone
Singing in the shower
Humming in my corn flakes
I wonder when my day will change keys.
When I'm doing laundry
I duet with the drier
Ever since we met
I have Music back in me
Harriet, my Pet...
Harriet, my Sweet...
Heart beating in my chest
rhythm in my footsteps
and I will leave the rest
to your imagination.
When I'm doing laundry
I duet with the drier
Ever since we met
I have Music back in me
Harriet, my Pet...
Harriet, my Sweet...

Call it a wonder I find myself here.
Fall is my favourite time of the year
do do do...
do do do do do do do....
When the wind blows and I'm happy...
and I can open my eyes when it's cloudy.
I like to wander, I like to drink tea
and right now I'm glad to be me
do do do
do do do do do do do...
Though the lake is too cold now for swimming,
I don't like to think about it as Winter beginning.
I like to wonder, I like to eat pie
and look at the stars like I once looked in your eyes
do do do
do do do do do do do....
Watching the leaves as they fall from a bough,
I'm very alone but I like myself now
do do do
do do do do do do do...

Days of the Sun
02:14
|
|||
Well, I felt like a big-city kid
back in the days of the Sun
Gone are those nights
we ran out of breath
and still run.
Changing with every breath
I felt like a big-city kid
but now all us kings of the world
can't even get together
But Spring will come again
and the ice will melt off your shoulder.
I felt like a big-shot, big-city kid
back in the days of the Sun
gone are those nights
we ran out of breath
and still run
But Spring will come again
and the ice will melt off your shoulder
Days fade
we've come a long way
We've come a long way.

Had My Chance
01:56
|
|||
When my cup dries up
and my eyes are shut
I won't be too sad
I've had my chance to Love
I've had my chance to love
Now I can die
Certainly not happily
I should be satisfied:
I've had my chance to Love.
I had you to myself.
I had years to get it right.
I had my chance to Love...
No more kisses good-night.
