Stay Until Sunday

Steal away, another day
In the time it takes to say
“I’m leavin’, it’s nearly evenin’,
and I must be on my way”
Monday’s far away, and you can stay another day
I am swayed so easily
Mountain air, it caught me unawares
Of how cold that it could be
“Stay another day, ‘cause Monday’s far away
And it’s so cold you won’t believe
Monday’s far away and Sunday’s here to stay
Won’t you stay and talk with me?”
Talk with me
Talk with me
“Monday’s far away, and you can stay another day
I am swayed so easily
Sunday’s here today, and you’re so far away
Tell me where you want to be?”

Misdirected

Misdirected feeling,
All my senses reeling from the kiss
You never mentioned any of this
And I want to see it right,
But I can’t stay at home tonight
I’ve got to head out into the light
I don’t think it’s funny,
When I don’t see a way out of this
You put your trust in something,
I take it as a sign to resist
I don’t think it’s funny,
When I don’t see a way, out of this
Disconnected dealings,
With another’s feelings I insist
You never mention any of this
I don’t think it’s funny,
When I don’t see a way out of this
You put your trust in something,
it never crossed your mind to resist?
I don’t think it’s funny,
when I don’t see a way out of this
I don’t see a way, out of this
I don’t see a way, out of this
Perche tu, mi tormenti cosi?
Dar mio cuore solo a te
E ancora, tu non accetta mia amore
Perche? Di me questo. Domando di te?
Disconnected dealings
Misdirected feelings
Disconnected dealings
Misdirected feelings

Sunrise and Sleep
03:58
|
|||
|
Skin upon skin, these lovers entwined
And what do they feel, in the dawn’s early light?
True in their minds, souls are revealed
But what of the secrets, that the heart must conceal
Turned a corner, feel inside
Strength in ardour, but this love is denied
Wrapped in these arms, I can go anywhere
Run beneath arches, jump through the air
Can I take you with me, wherever I go
Wrapped in my pocket, for this long lonely road
I will be, in a corner
Wherever you sleep
I’m always at home, beside you at night
But when I’m alone, you’ll always reside
Here in this place, where safety returns
So what do you feel, while this love it still burns
In a corner, of me
Where I wander, and wherever you’ll be
In a corner, you’ll be
When I’m dreamin’, of sunrise and sleep

Fall Into Me
04:51
|
|||
|
Newspapers, and cigarette wrappers
Are my legacy, of lethargy
Beer stains, on old coffee tables
And magazines, are as unkempt as me
Musing on your life, what did you want it to be?
Drawn curtains, incense and candles
Astrology, makes no sense to me
Worn grooves, in record collections
And guitar strings, are my remedy
Fall into me, yeah… fall into me, yeah
Burnt skin, lazy old summer
Beats down on me, relentlessly
Cool change,
The children sleep fitfully, in violet dreams
Fall into me, yeah
And I know this spell, too well

Melody's Fate
04:48
|
|||
|
And Melody smiles upon her fate
She knows it’s while she’s waited
And in the back halls of her mind
The years have dissipated
Ooh, and she’s waited all this time
In a hope that’s only faded
Wrapped around his finger
With the ring he gave her
Would it serve to bind her?
How the memory lingers…
Opportunity had passed her by
While the questions were slowly turning
Would it help if he noticed in her eyes
That a fire was always raging
Ooh, and she’s waited all this time
This time of no returning
Pulls upon the trigger
Of the gun he gave her
Would it serve to bind her?
How the memory lingers…
And another fortune will surely rise
In this district of no returning
Would it helped if he noticed in her eyes
That the light was slowly fading
Ooh, now she’s waiting out her time…

Fall Away
05:30
|
|||
|
In another time we’ll notice, when the evening comes around
And from the sky is falling, an unfamiliar sound
Tears are slowly drifting, through hills and halls of pain
And I have seen right through the other side, of shame
Once or twice we’ll notice, when the twilight’s coming down
And another car will take us, to the other side of town
Rain is falling constantly, darkening the sky
And who knows what awaits us, when it calls on high
Did we notice, what could we say?
Did we know this, love would fall away
In other times we’ve been there, this dark and foreign place
Where ships have sailed upon the sea, for years without a trace
The humming of machinery, would penetrate the night
And all our children ask us, did you ever think to wonder why?
Did we know this, what could we say?
Did we know this, love would fall away
And all the time we’ve been here, where the sun will kiss the sky
When the lightening falls out on the sea, and rivers all run dry
Who knows when we’ll get there, oh it’s coming ‘round too soon
And other skies will fall in time, when this earth belongs,
Belongs to you
Did we notice, what did we say?
Did we know this, love would fall away
And there’s nothing to, this sound

Nothing's Changed
03:25
|

|
When I wrote to you
The words would fall right from my heart
When you saw them
I had to make you see
It wouldn’t change anything
From how it’s always been
Words can’t change anything
Then I saw you
A photograph within my mind
Then I spoke to you
Maybe I’d like to see
How you could change everything
From how it has to be
You could change, everything
Maybe I had to see
That you could change everything
Ignite the fire in me
I’d really like to change
Change
Change
Change…

Midday Sun
03:53
|
|||
|
Lie me on the bedroom floor
Come inside and close the door
I’ll be melting away, it’s no fun
Hide me from the midday sun
It’s not there for everyone
The arctic’s the place to be
Solitude and sanctity
A blanket of white, my destiny
Hide me from the midday sun
It’s not there for everyone
Ooooh….
Hide me from the midday sun
It’s not there for anyone
Lying in this lethargy
The cool of your silence beckons me
Fever will rise with the mercury
Hide me from the midday sun
It’s not there for anyone, anyone…

Coming Home
04:01
|
|||
|
All I see, and all I’ll do
Couldn’t make this life complete
Without you
All I hear, and all I’ve known
Couldn’t fill the space between,
I’m coming home
Home
All I want, and all I need
Is where I know my soul can breathe
Across the sea
So let me go, I’ll fly to be
In a land where I belong,
Set me free
All I want, and all I need
All I want, and all I need
Home

Gently
06:12
|
|||
|
When I saw you, I couldn’t look away
Before I knew it, you took my mind away
No time to wonder, it only took a day
Before I knew it, my heart just melted away
But you won’t say it to me
And I think I know why
Hope won’t save me
I was getting too deep,
Now I can’t sleep tonight
At all…
