"These Walls"
In your heart there are oceansIn your heart there are flowering treesLook inside and live inside these wallsYour body yearns
I'm not one to say I know what you go throughI only want to open wide the window and let sunlight throughFor you
In your face I see longingIn your face I see hopes and fearsYou've been locked for too long behind these wallsYour body yearns
I'm not one to say I know what you go throughI only want to open wide the window and let sunlight throughFor you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell meWhat you're feelingTell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell meWhat you needTell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell meEverything
Take my hand and I'll lead youTake my word that I'll not deceive youI only want to carry you on beyond these wallsYour body yearns
I'm not one to say I know what you go throughI only want to open wide the window and let sunlight throughFor you

"New Love"

There's a barge going by on the river,
Yellow against the blue.
There's a bus driving up along the bridge,
And it's red like the color of new love.

And I need new love
And I need true love
And I need to be held
And I need to be told
There's more to come.

There's a woman beside a window,
Quiet against the street.
There's a man beside a magazine stand,
Looks like he's waiting to meet some one.

And I need new love
And I need true love
And I need to be held
And I need to be told
There's more to come.

And everything reminds me of you
And everything reminds me of things we used to do
Even though I miss you, I know we're through
And I need to find something new

And I need new love
And I need true love
And I need to be held
And I need to be told
There's more to come.

There's a man playing guitar in the subway,
Gentle against the crowd.
There's a kid in the upstairs apartment,
plays his recorder, wakes me up from above.

And I need new love
And I need true love
And I need to be held
And I need to be told
There's more to come.

"Flying As She Falls"

The leaves have turned and she has known
And she tells me she can't let him go
And she looks to the moon for answers
And she looks inside and she knows

She dresses by the window
Finds reflection in the pane
She looks towards the winter
And her hair falls around her like rain

She's sighing with September
She would like to run and hide
She's wrapped up in confusion
She unfolds like paper dolls
But she's flying as she falls

The birds have gone and she has known
For she follows the arc of their flight
And the softness has gone from the daylight
And the shadows have grown into night

She's sighing with September
She would like to run and hide
She's wrapped up in confusion
She unfolds like paper dolls
But she's flying as she falls

Soon will come cool October
It will rise all around her like fire
And she gathers her courage like harvest
And she gathers her thoughts and desires

She's sighing with September
She would like to run and hide
She's wrapped up in confusion
She unfolds like paper dolls
But she's flying as she falls

She will not run and hide
She will take it all in stride
And she will
She will
She will
be flying as she falls

"Light Years"

You found me drifting,
Big motion like a bird,
Strangest song I ever heard.

Now, now that you're here
Stay with me light years,
Light years, light years.

No paper, no ring
In the trees where frogs sing.
I brought lilies for you,
Think of all the things were gonna do.

Now, now that you're here,
Stay with me light years.

I give you a thousand hours,
Making love in the tall sunflowers.
I give you a thousand feet
Down where the water's deep.

Sleepy storm, sleepy head,
Limb for limb on my bed,

Now, now that you're here,
Stay with me light years,
Light years, light years,
Light years, stay with me,
Stay with me, stay.

"Sugar"

On the Vermont Transit Bus I leaned my arm into a little chink of sun, going somewhere older than I was, strapped into something tight, keeping me small. I dug into you like rock climbing; too scared of coming down, too scared of going up, too scared of rockface. I should've split my sides or spilled my guts or hit you or something, but I was good. And your father's little pancakes so round and perfect and me sitting up too straight, laughing in wrong places, kissing you, kissing up, kissing too soon.

When the cock crows
When the morning comes where will I go?
When the cock crows
When the love is gone where will I go?

And when you got me pregnant I stopped the party and I stopped the typewriter and I stopped your dumb ball game in the red barn and I stopped your father and bled instead. And I felt the lie - something sticky on the inside; a bitter wind in my throat, stopping me wanting, in my stomach, in my head and you said

Sugar sugar, you couldn't come come
Sugar sugar, without your mother
Sugar sugar, you couldn't taste it
Sugar sugar, in my throat.

When the cock crows
When the morning comes where will I go?
When the cock crows
When the love is gone where will I go?

"Maybe An Angel"

I put my hands where your wings should be,
I put my feet where the earth should be
And I can't see very far
And when you said that you were dead I hung on

Something I feel
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been
Something out here
You are an angel or maybe you could've been.

I've got this light hangs over me
I've got this fear cuts into me
And I can't see very far
And when you said that you were dead I hung on

Something I feel
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been
Something out here
You are an angel or maybe you could've been

See how they run
And nobody said you would go
See how they fall
And I can't see very far
And when you said you were dead I hung on

Something I feel
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been
Something out here
You are an angel or maybe you could've been
See how they run
See how they run
All the same, all the same
Something out here
You are an angel.

"Blessed"

Tonight my life is moving fast
I sit and watch the demons pass
A world I know but never seen
A fear that ripped the colour from me

I lit a candle for the day
Saw the light around your head
Walked where angels never go
Saw them shining from below

It's easy when you're blessed
With money, love and sex
You're not like all the rest
It's easy when you're blessed

And did your mother lie to you?
You got God and death confused
I can't blame it on your soul
There was nowhere else it could go

It's easy when you're blessed
With money, love and sex
You're not like all the rest
It's easy when you're blessed
It's easy when you're blessed

"Mothertongue"

I got my daddy's eyes
But you gave me your double vision,
I got my daddy's stride
Now I'm walking blind with double vision.

And I can almost see your face now, in me.
And I can almost feel the weight you carried.

You had to break the skin
To put the blood between us,
You did the dirty work
To put the blood between us.

And I can almost see your face now, in me.
And I can almost feel the weight you carried.

Oooh rocking the seed in me
Learning to speak the mothertongue.

Sometimes between the lines
I crashed, I could've killed you
I tried to go too fast -
I crashed, I could've killed you.

And I can almost see your face now, in me
And I can almost feel the weight you carried.

Oooh rocking the seed in me
Learning to speak the mothertongue.

"Talking To Strangers"

I'm talking to strangers
To see what I feel;
Your face is changing now
And nothing seems real.
These things I know
Are like a baby how they grow in me;
I pull them out
Just like a baby for you to see them all

I'm talking to strangers
To see what I need;
This love between us now,
How it's twisting in me.
I want to get it out,
I want to feel the breathing,
I want to really love,
I want to know the meaning,
I want to share all these things.

These things I know
Are like a baby how they grow in me
I pull them out
Just like a baby for you to see them all
