In The Morning

On the roof we dance... old records spin romance... nose to nose we sway to Billie Holiday... In the morning... I miss you most. Drive to a mountain range... read Shakespeare page by page... pronounce each word out loud... to the coyotes they will sound... In the morning... I miss you most... I walk the streets of Philly... oh these days are ordinary... I can't say that I'm not lonely... well, today I am just only... here without you around... I miss your silent stare... your ears your lips your hair... I miss making you laugh... cut me an orange half... In the morning... I miss you most... when do we get wise... oh, when do we get wiser?

Only When I Sleep

You're only just a dreamboat... Sailing in my head ... You swim my secret oceans ... Of coral blue and red ... Your smell is incense burning ... Your touch is silken yet ... It reaches through my skin ... And moving from within ... It clutches at my breast ... But it's only when I sleep ... See you in my dreams ... You got me spinning round and round ... Turning upside-down ... But I only hear you breathe ... Somewhere in my sleep ... Got me spinning round and round ... Turning upside-down ... But its only when I sleep ... And when I wake from slumber ... Your shadow's disappear ... Your breath is just a sea mist ... Surrounding my body ... I'm workin' through the daytime ... But when it's time to rest ... I'm lying in my bed ... Listening to my breath ... Falling from the edge ... But it's only when I sleep ... See you in my dreams ... You got me spinning round and round ... Turning upside-down ... But I only hear you breathe ... Somewhere in my sleep ... Got me spinning round and round ... Turning upside-down ... But its only when I sleep ... It's only when I sleep ... Up to the sky ... Where angels fly ... I'll never die ... Hawaiian High ... In bed I lie... No need to cry ... My sleeping cry ... Hawaiian High ... It's reaching through my skin ... Movin' from within ... Clutches at my breasts ... But it's only when I sleep....

Talk About Her

Sometimes I never know what's real... but when she's near me I can feel there's something... Her eyes are closed but I can see... she is the air before I breathe... I love you... which ever way the wind might blow... however strange our flowers grow... I wanna say that I'll never ever go. I'm riding backwards in my head... but she has a mirror if I'm tired. Who knows what questions I might make... cause she knows with every choice I take... I'm listening... which ever way the wind might blow... however strange our flowers grow... I wanna say that I'll never ever go... It will leave us whole... it will stay in stone... for all our lives... for another day.

Shut Your Eyes

Shut your eyes and think of somewhere... Somewhere cold and caked in snow... By the fire we break the quiet... Learn to wear each other well... And when the worrying starts to hurt... and the world feels like graves of dirt... Just close your eyes until you can imagine this place, yeah, our secret space at will... Shut your eyes, I spin the big chair... And you'll feel dizzy, light, and free... And falling gently on the cushion... You can come and sing to me... And when the worrying starts to hurt... and the world feels like graves of dirt... Just close your eyes until you can imagine this place, yeah, our secret space at will... (Shut your eyes)... Shut your eyes and sing to me (Shut your eyes and sing to me)...

Chasing Cars

We'll do it all... Everything... On our own... We don't need... Anything... Or anyone... If I lay here... If I just lay here... Would you lie with me and just forget the world? I don't quite know... How to say... How I feel... Those three words... Are said too much... They're not enough... If I lay here... If I just lay here... Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told... Before we get too old... Show me a garden that's bursting into life... Let's waste time... Chasing cars... Around our heads... I need your grace... To remind me... To find my own... If I lay here... If I just lay here... Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told... Before we get too old... Show me a garden that's bursting into life... All that I am... All that I ever was... Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see... I don't know where... Confused about how as well... Just know that these things will never change for us at all... If I lay here... If I just lay here... Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

The Promise

If you wait for me then I'll come for you... Although I've traveled far I always hold a place for you in my heart.. If you think of me... If you miss me once in awhile... Then I'll return to you... I'll return and fill that space in your heart... Remembering... Your touch... Your kiss... Your warm embrace... I'll find my way back to you... If you'll be waiting... If you dream of me like I dream of you... In a place that's warm and dark... In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart... Remembering... Your touch... Your kiss... Your warm embrace... I'll find my way back to you... If you'll be waiting... I've longed for you and I have desired... To see your face... your smile... To be with you wherever you are... I'll find my way back to you... Please say you'll be waiting... Together again... It would feel so good to be in your arms... Where all my journeys end... If you can make a promise... If it's one that you can keep...
