FLAME TURNS BLUE
I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah but no-one just a stranger did I find
I never noticed hadn't seen it as it grew
The void between us where the flame turns blue
Different places yeah but they all look the same
Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
And blind ambition where the flame turns blue
Words dismantled hey and all the books unbound
Conversations though we utter not a sound
I heard a rumour I don't know if it's true
That you'd meet me where the flame turns blue
So I venture underneath the leaden sky
See the freight train with its one fierce eye
And then I listen as it tears the night into
With a whistle and the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light
Break in splinters on the pages where I write
That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
Yeah if lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
TWILIGHT
Wash the twilight
From my head
Hanging on a brighter thread
Little darlin
Til I see you once again
Tell the man to
Fill my club
Honey I ain't gonna stop
Little darlin
Til I see you once again
Pinch me if I'm dreaming
I'm somewhere I've never been when
You lead me by my hand
Into the flame
Just the rain now
On my hat
And the past
What use is that
Little darlin
Til I see you once again
HOLD ON
Hold on
Hold on to me
Hold on
Hold on to me
Sometimes there's no easy way
Got to cause somebody pain
Watching you
You hit so hard on yourself
Cos you need someone to blame
Oh now
What will you do
Oh now
What will you do
Can't help the way you're feeling
Don't want to leave him so alone
Lisa cries
Her red hair streaming down
Feels like her heart is made of stone
AS I'M LEAVING
As I'm leaving
A change comes on my eyes
These streets persuading me
With mumbles strange goodbyes
And through the water
Through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out
On the stones
And I'm almost gone
And there's no meaning
In clothes and coffee cups
Cheap hotel furniture
Where silence never stops
And through the water
Through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out
On the stones
And I'm almost gone
And now I'm dreaming
I'm staring at the walls
At cars all frozen now
In late night waterfalls
And through the water
Through the ring
To the soul of everything
Wash my heart out
On the stones
And I'm almost gone
IF YOUR LOVE IS REAL
Three days spent staring at your photograph
Read your letter made me laugh
But there's a shadow on the path
Til I know
If your love is real
Cos it's not as if a lot was said
Falling in and falling out of bed
But now the world's turned on it's head
Til I know if your love is real
Spent a long time now persuading myself
That I don't need no-one
Nobody else
That I'd felt all there was to feel
I'm in a daydream now I'm out to lunch
and should it come down to the crunch
I'm wide open for that sucker punch
Til I know
If your love is real
Til I know
If your love is real
Spent a long time now persuading myself
That I don't need no-one
Nobody else
That I'd felt all there was to feel
I know if I should live one hundred years I'd never see another face like yours
On stranger seas or brighter shores
Cos I know
That my love is real
TIDAL WAVE
Ever since your fingertips
Ever since your eyes
Talking with the light oh
Bluer skies
Even if I wanted to
How could I explain
Coming through my head now
This tidal wave
All your favourite eyelashes
All your bluest skin
Bring them and I'll meet you in
That room again
Even if I told it true
Why should they believe
Coming through my head now
This tidal wave
Tidal wave
Coming over Waterloo
Dreaming of your hands
Want to run away now
Foreign lands
Even as I lie with you
Listen to you breathe
Coming through my head yeah
This tidal wave
Tidal wave
Tidal wave
FALLING DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE
Without a word
You set your sights
Into the sun
When all the world
You put to rights
Was still so wrong
Pin your heart out
On your sleeve
Spouting all that make believe
From your lips
It seemed it might come true
Falling down the mountainside with you
The clothes you wore
The people stared
You looked so strange
To see you move
St. Vitus dance
Was in your veins
And never once
Afraid to know
What it feels like when you go
Out beyond
Where logic keeps the view
Falling down the mountainside with you
If you were here
First thing I'd do
Is knock you down
You left me cold
To meet your ghost
All over town
So grind the stone
And spin the wheel
Lock the doors on what you feel
Looking back
It's like I always knew
I'd be falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
RED MOON
Weighing that silver
There with your hands
In no position to make demands
Got what you wanted
Oh very nice
But every kiss must have a price
I'm getting tired of
being denied of
Saying the same old things
And those tears aren't gonna mend
These broken wings
Red Moon
All that I've witnessed
Hard to believe
I can still find it in me
To be so na've
Cry on your pillow
Into the night
Cos saying you're sorry
Won't make it right
I'm getting tired of
Being denied of
Things getting in my way
And if I'm quiet
That's cos there's nothing left to say
Yeah if I'm quiet
That's cos there's nothing left to say
Red Moon
Red Moon
Red Moon
Red Moon
A CLEAR PAIR OF EYES
Hear me god I'm on the leve
Mapping silence seeing things
Crying laughing like the devil
And before the might
of all that's seen
I'll raise my head
and wake to dream
with a clean pair of eyes
Murdered gold and colours flashing
Time like blood like flowing hair
Faces merging airplanes crashing
And before the might
of all that's true
I'll raise my head
and dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes
Today I need no commentary
Today I do not need to speak
No explanation necessary
And before the might
of all that's seen
I'll raise my head
and dream again
With a clean pair of eyes
A clean pair of eyes
Don't need no right or wrong
Don't need no disguise
No sugar to fix my tongue
A clean pair of eyes
Liquid air and flags that ripple
A tambourine of smoking suns
Love that blinds us fear that cripples
And before the might
Of all that's seen
I'll raise my head
And wake to dream
And before the might
Of all that's true
I'll raise my head
And dream anew
And before the might
Of all unnamed
I'll raise my head
and dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again
