The Duchess

Well you ain't fooling anyone
And it was more than just a kiss
You're the only ones you're betraying
If you keep up with this
Still, she wants to be with you
She likes the friendship you've formed
But your heart is a castle
That cannot be stormed
Well, in love, hearts don't fall as frequent as rain
And, though you have your differences, it does seem a shame
To fight love, when she's falling for you
Oh well, love seemed easy back then
Before we'd all become heartbroken
And I wish that I'd gotten to your first
But I missed and now I'm expecting the worst of my fears
Though handsome had tempted
Imperfections ensnared
Now she's always cryin'
Thinking of the cowlicks in his hair
And she's often left drifting
To the dimples in his face
Though he told her quite clearly:
He wouldn't keep pace
In the end, it was timing:
They were two ships in the night
She wanted to love him
But it just wasn't right
Well, in love, hearts don't fall as frequent as rain
And, though you have your differences, it does seem a shame
To fight love, when she's falling...
Well, in love, hearts don't fall as frequent as rain
And, though you have your differences, it does seem a shame
To fight love...
When I'm falling for...you

Nosi

You led me on
I followed your tracks into the wood
You led me on
To a mountain where I stood
Among boundless skies and endless stars
I followed you far
You took my hand
And wrapped me in your embrace
I felt the warmth
Of your breath on my face
And Horus’ eye glowed overhead
All our thoughts went unsaid
All the times that I believed
You only deceived
And you played with my heart
You taunted me like a predator
Toying with your prey
I was trapped, but I still chose to stay
Starry-eyed,
Absent-minded and kind
But you dealt
So deep in your mind
And now I know that I lost the game
Oh what a shame
Your heart couldn’t be tamed
The ice was thick, the winds blew strong
It never felt wrong
In the night there was truth
Morning light would break the dark
And you’d change with the dawn
Yes, you led me on
You led me on
Even if you didn’t try
I’m still wondering
And I’ll never know why
Those secrets you’ll hold locked deep within
But I’d love you again
You led me on; I followed your tracks into the wood

Little Bird
03:34
|

Little Bird, you sang to me
Thought your song had set me free
But it's a lonesome melody
For all the other birds have flown
The more I find I love your song
The more all other sounds feel wrong
The days pass quick as the nights grow long
And my heart feels so alone
Clouds sail by and I wonder why
I cannot stop
Cannot stop
Hearing your tune
It's everywhere I go
It's amplified
In my heart
Even though I know you'll leave
I know my soul won't find reprieve
Not until a summer's eve
When my ears, again, find choice
Through all these starry winter nights
I wish I may, I wish I might
Find that it's not such a fight
To forget your gorgeous voice
Heavens spin and we're here again
We've been here
From the start
From the start
I knew the gift in you
It's amplified in my heart
In my heart
Well, clouds sail by and I wonder why
I cannot stop
Cannot stop
Hearing your tune
It's everywhere I go
It's amplified
In my heart
In my heart

Write me a song
Tell me a story
A tale of love
Or one of glory
The words you speak
Shake me deep down in my soul
Your gentle lisp
Softens the s’s
Our hearts are two very
Tangled messes
And now I know: you’re the comb to my love
I don’t want to read between the lines
Of tender hearts and frenzied minds
I want to take all of the time and get the message all in full
You want to skip right down the page
And for my feelings to be caged
And let your sheepish eyes be covered up by wool
And let this storm inside my heart come a lull
You asked me questions
Far too bold
And so the truth was
Was never told
You wrote the book, now I can’t even look you in the eye
And, if it weren’t for the timing,
I wouldn’t be here pantomiming
I cannot wait to
Take off this paint and be true
When I’m the author, it’s love I will offer you

Heartstrings
04:03
|
|||
You’re plucking my heartstrings
With your words and that voice
And I don’t want to feel it
But I don’t have a choice
We’re already in it
We’ve crossed the threshold
So no need to regret
Let the full truth be told
Oooooooo ooooooooo ooooooooo
You’re plucking my heartstrings
With your words and that voice
And I don’t want to feel it
But I don’t have a choice
We’re already in it
We’ve crossed the threshold
So no need to regret
Let the full truth be told
OOoooooo. ooooooooo ooooooooo
You’re plucking my heartstrings, and I don’t have a choice

Coldest Hour
03:31
|
|||
We’ll I’ve been laying here thinking of you
But I don’t mind if you’re not
Thinking of me, too
The darkest hour is just before dawn
But, in the midnight sun,
The coldest hour is the one we’re on
I move my hands, I move your heart
And days go by in a lonesome way
Whenever we’re apart
This longing only leaves me feeling rich
But my darling,
You’re the itch I never knew
And I---- cannot stop
I cannot stop
Thinking of you
And how we could never make it
How I could never take it:
All the hurt that you’d put me through
The chances you would fathom
Between a pinky and a sore thumb
The chances you would fathom
Between a pinky and a sore thumb

Jaggers
02:48
|

Well, I’m caught in all these jaggers
My head and heart are just a mess
I’m just a lonesome romantic
Trapped beneath this party dress
I’m just a poisonous flower
With a very fragrant nose
I leave a path of destruction in my wake
Any time the north wind blows
Anytime you see me
You must trust that I do care
‘Cause every time you need me
I can’t assure that I’ll be there
And all through our absence
Trust that you’ve been in my heart
Emotions never changing
I feel the same as I did from the start
But I’m caught in all these jaggers;
My head and heart are still a mess

I Sail
03:57
|
|||
I sail an ocean to see you but we’re in the same bed
And though your serving dish is full, my heart feels underfed
Your silver platter’s always closed
And you’re the only one who knows why
Can’t live inside this house with locked doors
Can’t sell you something that you won’t...
...Buy/by
the way, the things you do not say do not exist
No words on lips, no print on page- emotions never come to birth
And, for my worth, I need to know your thoughts at length
Your words- they give me strength to grab this thread and try to hang
I know the depth is there, deceiving
And I’m submerged yet I’m still breathing in
I fear the time will come for cold air
I worry ‘bout the surface freezing thin
I know the depth is there, deceiving
And I’m submerged yet I’m still breathing in
I fear the time will come for cold air
I worry ‘bout the surface freezing thin
I worry ‘bout the surface freezing thin
I sail an ocean to see you but we’re in the same bed

Bunker
05:02
|
|||
You
Have taken a hold on my heart
A long embrace
Held when we part
And I know
Where your heart lives and who’s there
It’s crowded
And there’s no room to give
Still your eyes
Look at me with wonder
And your gaze
Fills me with joy
And I know
It could never be but still I
Can’t help these feelings
I don’t know what to say
So won’t
Won’t you let me come and sit
Sit in your bunker
Safe from the shells and the noise outside
‘Cause I’m trapped
Trapped in the sands of your soul
Just take my hands and we’ll go
To a place that love has never known
Your melodies are
In my soul
In my soul
In my soul
You make me feel whole
Again
Free Me From
Your Hold
Free Me From
Your Soul
Free!

The Ocean
04:34
|
|||
Our song was the ocean
Lapping the shore
Now your heart is hiding
And I can't talk to you no more
You say you're just one man
That's all you can be
But if a seed cannot sprout
How can it grow a tree?
You drank too much whiskey
When I wanted to talk
Your feet were all blistered
When I needed to walk
And there is no mystery
Yet I'm still in shock
Wont' you leave me be and stop the pain?
The days they go slowly
As I think of your face
And with 300,000
This city is too small of a place
I remember the moment
I first saw you with her
The light of the fire
And your intentions impure
I longed through the nights
I gave you my all
And my only conclusion
Is that your heart is too small
But, in hurt, we tell white lies
And stories so tall
Won't you leave me be and stop the pain?
Asphalt breathes beneath the rain
Riding fast helps to make me feel more sane
Back in this old house again
Been a while since I've felt these blankets
On my skin
Well I'm only one woman
Who fell from the start
And, in the process of falling,
I've injured my heart
Now our song is these salt tears
As they fall from my eyes
And I can't tell the difference
Between your delusions and lies
But, just like the ocean,
Our tides will soon turn
And I'll count on the water
To help stop the burn
My mind will try to forget you
Even though my heart yearns
Won't you leave me be and stop the pain?
