Leaving You Again
03:40

Sun is sinking low
Over the grass so high
Sitting and looking back
Out from my weary eyes
On this lonely afternoon
Without you
You say it’s tearing you apart
Seeing me leaving
But it’s too late in the day to start
So you just sit there
Light on the marble head dawning
You sit and stare at it yawning
Comes down to what you believe
And it cannot be, can it?
Taking the longest road
To where I want to be
Miles away from here
And far from the misery of your skinny little mind
Killing time
You say I’m treating you unfair
You’ll try harder this time
I say I’ve already been there
And I’m so tired of promises
Don’t go, I told you, I’m sorry
I’ll make it up to you, honest
Please stay, you’re breaking my heart
It’s not really too late, is it?

Too Close
02:16

I come into your life
You say don’t get too close
I can’t define
What’s wrong inside
What’s in this picture of you
And so I walk away
Leaving you far behind
So why must it be
The sadness in me
And you always on my mind
In the empty days that follow
You will find no peace of mind
In the sadness that tears at your soul
You will find life is unkind
And if my feeling’s right
Being with you is wrong
If all this I know
Then why is it so
I miss you in my waking hours
In the empty days that follow
You will find no peace of mind
In the madness that tears at your soul
You will find life is unkind

Mouths of Babes
03:14
|

|
I can see your softly eyes and you
Come to me with veiled disguises and
See yourself for what you are
Gentle flower your beauty abounds
Mouths of babes speak the truth and they
Will not say just what you want them to
Don’t expect them to lie
Just to save your ego and pride
Reaching out a soft hand touches your face
It’s a feeling that nothing can replace
Dream away my precious little one
Close you eyes, go off to sleep
Safe and sound in your bed at night
Sheltered until morning light
Reaching out a soft hand touches your face
It’s a feeling that nothing can replace

Stormy
03:35
|
|||
|
I see the sun rising in your eyes
Then I see dark clouds appear overhead
And I see storms rising to the west
I see you look at me wishing me dead
And the storms roll in
And the storms roll in
The dawning brings in a ray of hope
There’ll be no blackness, no darkened way
The light will shine on us all the way through
But hell will freeze over on that day
And the storms roll in
And the storms roll in
Stay within, don’t ask for more
As you crawl across the floor
Haven’t you been here before?
Years and years this goes on and on
The question lingers when will it end?
It’s hard to see when you’re standing so close
But change must surely be in the wind
And the storms roll in
And the storms roll in
Stay within, don’t ask for more
As you crawl across the floor
Haven’t you been here before?
