Monkey

Holding onto the speak no evil monkey
We're hanging out the window
Breeze swirling through and it's not too late for us
The weather could change
Hanging out with the hear no evil monkey
She says "where is your evidence of life beyond this?"
Doubt swirling through and it's not too late for faith
The weather could change
In a needy way we ache for affection
To be kissed or kiss
In a knee-deep way we wait for impact
To be hit or hit
At least we'd move
At least we'd move
At least we'd move
Hanging onto a speak no evil monkey
She's whispering softly 'be free'
Ease swirling through
And it's not too late for us
The weather could change
In a needy way we ache for affection
To be kissed or kiss
In a knee-deep way we wait for impact
To be hit or hit
At least we'd move
At least we'd move
At least we'd move

Lunar
03:35
|

I am ready for love, but not for a cage
And I am learning to learn, but I seem to be stuck on this page,
There is beauty of all kinds here in this room,
But I'm cynical it's just chemical
There is wisdom in knowing that you know nothing at all
I am learning to listen, to accept the short fall
I am hungry for the time when your mouth mirrors mine
But I'm cynical it's just chemical
This aint lunar-love, or lunar-fate
I say it's the life that we create
This aint lunar-love, lunar-fate
I say it's the life that we create.

Anchor
03:55
|

I know this fallible life can be wonderful for some
The bricked in fickle decent types
Clearly driven bible black inside
And he wont drop anchor with me
Although the undertow is strong
And we sleep so soundly together
But we are better off alone
Choking on our freedom, freedom, freedom
And he carried his kisses for me
Inside a paper bagged mistake
The shipwrecked, huckleberry boy,
Flickered out to bible black inside
And all along his anchor was me
And when the undertow was strong
We'd laugh so loudly together
But he was always so alone
Choking on our freedom, freedom, freedom

Heart Head and Do
05:27
|

The first thing I'll buy is a piano
And I'll pretend you revolve around how tender I can be
Off a cliff in a remote celtic fog
I will cast all these woes cos my fingers are bound to the sounds I can't say with my mouth
And I'm sorry if I disappoint you
The spiders of guilt they dance so heavy on my skin
'Til i get to the place of the 'ha ha ha ha ha'
Where I skate away with you and Joni
To a dwelling place of a memory that sings forgiving harmony
And I'm sorry if I hurt you
When I'm there I will manage much better
There'll be time, I'll have time for the heart, head and do
In a place where the edge appears only in my sleep
I will give up this balancing act to the sea
I will give up
I will give up
And I'm sorry that I hurt you if I hurt you
There I go as usual making it all about me
Are you well, are you safe, are you happy?
I'm falling and fading, spilling the love you gave
Until then I will wait here with the spiders
I’ll pretend you revolve around how tender I can be
I have heard that there is truth if you can write in your own blood
So I’ll follow these sounds that are bound to my pulse
I will follow
I will follow
And I'm sorry that I hurt you if I hurt you
There I go as usual making it all about me
Are you well, are you safe, are you happy?
All I’m really trying to say is, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.

Dozing
03:45
|

Today it’s all the little things
The tide comes in and brings a lullaby
Come here and rest your weary wings
And I will bathe you in the dozing sea

Comeback

Have to come away from the window
Before I become part of the rain
Want to be a part of the rain
Falling down but making a noise
Want to tell you my darkest dreams
Before I become part of the rain
Whilst I’m unoccupied by fear
I want you near to me
Thought I’d come back
Thought I’d come back
Thought I had come back
Take my head talk to my heart tongue
But no words will come take my heart talk
To my head tongue but my mouth is numb
Have to come away from the window
Before I become part of the rain
For I get too lost in the rain
So I’ll come away from the window
Before I become part of the rain
Thought I knew about all the places I had left to try
But you found me out so I
Thought I’d come back
Thought I’d come back
Thought I had come back
Take my head talk to my heart tongue
But no words will come take my heart talk
To my head tongue but my mouth is numb
Have to come away from the window
Before I become part of the rain
To an evening of fits and noisy kissing
So I’ll come away from the window
Before I become part of the rain
Thought I knew about all the places I had left to hide
But you found me out
And I want you near to me
Before I become part of the rain
Before I become part of the rain

You Know Who You Are
03:19
|

Waking actions as natural as a sigh
Move my rested flesh across your lips there you lie
Even the moon is covered in scars
And when it is bright it lights the late world
Like a silver-haired friend with a torch
So don’t be afraid or ashamed, you’re beautiful to me
Waking actions as natural as a sigh
Move my rested flesh across your lips there you lie
Time will pass by we are creatures born to die
But my heart is yours and yours is mine we are invincible
You touch my face and you show me such grace
I forget all my cares and fears, I’m near to you and happy
Waking actions as natural as a sigh
Move my rested flesh across your lips there you lie

Little Me
04:11
|
|||
I know that I am little
And that the miracles are rare
But I’m in trouble again
I arrived like any other
But I am chasing with a limp
Until I can’t go any further alone
I will not settle for the middle ground
And I will not stop until i’m found with you
Cos the only voice that I’m listening to is the one that sings a
Song of hope
And I know that I am little
But theres talk of immortality
If I can walk along the path you pave
So now my greatest enemy a
Are all the reasons to hold back
I must be sure of what I cannot see
I will not hunger for the love I’ve lost
And I’ll try to keep in mind that the gain outweighs the cost
Cos now you’re here with me and there are no more lies
I can sing to you my
Song of hope
No, I will not settle for the middle ground
And I will not stop until i’m found with you
Cos the only road I’m gonna walk along is the one that bring me a
Heart of hope
And a song of joy
A heart of hope
A song of joy
