Song From Hope St. (Brooklyn, NY)
Same old lines, hope on my street
People pace,
just like a broken beat
Just like a broken beat
Seven steps take me to your door
Seven steps
each one a broken beat
Each one a broken beat
And there's one more hour in my day and that's alright
And there's one more hour in my day and that's alright
We step in, I see another door
This old room feels like an overcoat
Window down to people on my street
See
their smiles, some wear an overcoat
Some wear an overcoat
One more hour, one more hour
You Know What I Want To Know
Ice in the morning
Better watch your step
There are dangerous maybes
So hard to forget
You know what I want to know
You know what I want to know
You know what I want to know
You know what I want to know
Slow down the water
Let me catch my breath
There's warmth in the fire
And the sweet smell of sweat
You know what I want to know
You know what I want to know
You know what I want to know
You know what I want to know
Ice in the water
Better watch your step
There are dangerous maybes
So hard to forget
You know what I want to know
You know what I want to know
You know what I want to know
You know what I want to know
You know what I want to know
You know what I want to know
Step Outside In The Morning Light
Come along in secrecy
You said I could
But I wont
Filling up with promises
Our bodies lie
But we're immune
And I thought of summer
Clears my head
And I thought of summer
Clears my head, my head
You stand alone
So delicate
I said "that's fine
It seems right"
Filling up
The day again
Our bodies tied
To the fading moon
And I thought of summer
Clears my head
And I thought of summer
Clears my head, my head
On your belly
In the sun
Looking up
To the sky
And the sky
Clears my head
So step outside in the morning light
And feel the breeze
And hold her tight
So step outside in the morning light
And feel the breeze
And hold her tight
So step outside in the morning light
Private Dance
The rhythm of the private dance
Will speed up
And slow down, down
Pale Blue Light
Another season, another silence falls
Lots of reasons, stare at the staring walls
I take away the pain, I take away the pain
Under clouds, to the stairs, takes me there
I see a new skin, fresh in a pale blue light
Warm as I sit here, close to the fireside
I take away the pain, I take away the pain
Under clouds, to the stairs, takes me there
Fresh in a pale blue light, fresh in a pale blue light
I take away the pain, I take away the pain
Water coming down, now water don't leave me
Sick of coming down with water is leaving
Water coming down, now water don't leave me
Sick of coming down with water is leaving
What I Ask
Pass me your hand
Show me your face
Now that the days
Run out of pace
Love, is what I ask
No less
Love, is what I ask
No less
Soften the light
Close over the door
And with the night
We'll fall to the floor
Love, is what I ask
No less
Love, is what I ask
No less
Love, is what I ask
No less
Love, is what I ask
No less
Love, is what I ask
No less
Love, is what I ask
No less
Strange Light In The Evening
I sit, top of stairs
Wonder if you are there
And yes, we know
These things will grow
To share desires
To take what's ours
Its then I take a walk
To order creeping under my feet
I know this dark wont shift without a breeze
Sits on the graffitied bench where lovers meet
Sinead loves Connor
Jan loves Troy
Karen loves Allen
And Stevo loves himself
Each moment takes another thought
away
It's then I saw the light at the closing of the day
And that's a strange light in the
evening
And that's a strange light in the evening
And that's a strange light in the evening
Whispers Return The Sun, Rest The Moon
London Bridge
Monday Morning
Sleepy eyed and staring down at you
I was world away
That's where I want to stay
A saving grace that breaks my silence
Lighter than a whisper in the sun
Whispers return the sun
Whispers return the sun
So come on out
And make me smile
Give me your light
Just one more time
Cause I cant find
A better cure
And I've been trying
More and more
London Bridge
Wednesday evening
Shuffling in from Wednesday afternoon
Just spent the day with you
Through different shades of blue
Star at night
Burning water
Resting for the day
Will be back soon
Whispers will rest the moon
Whispers will rest the moon
So come on out
And make me smile
Give me your light
Just one more time
Cause I cant find
A better cure
And I've been trying
More and more
So take me out
and make me smile
Give me your light
Just one more time
No I cant find
A better cure
And I've been trying
More and more
More and more
You And The City
Your eyes see how they shine
See how your eyes meet mine
Your eyes see how they shine see how
See how your eyes meet mine
Da da da da da da da da da, da da
City lights see how they shine
See how the lights keep time
City lights see how they shine
See how the lights keep time
It's late here
The crooked ghost is now unclear
As dark surrounds
The greater eyes rely on sound
I've forgotten what it's like
When darkness shows no sign of lights
You make it easy for me
You make it easy for me
La da da da da da da da da da
You make it easy for me...
Any time now, any time now
We'll stand out in the rain
See it all again
Into The Breeze
