Abelard and Heloise
05:20

Do you remember how it started?
Don’t be so sure that you can sit it out
‘Cause I remember that I said goodbye
And I start to wonder
Do you still feel the way we used to feel?
And if I touch you will we stick together?
For we will always feel like this
Will we be writing forever?
And will we say
I remember you
You remember me
We may still end up
Like Abelard and Heloise
And it just goes to show you
The more things change
The more they stay the same
It’s true
So there are times when you will curse your luck
And you may think that you’re alone with your thoughts
But there are those who will comfort you
And you can say to them...
I remember him
He remembers me
But if we still end up
Like Abelard and Heloise
Well it just goes to show you
The more things change
The more they stay the same
It’s true

Meatbelt

Walked through the rain love, for you
Or was it for me? I know only,
I don’t know
Fall at the bed’s feet and weep
Am I sad now?
Am I glad though?
I don’t know
Did I say that
I loved you
Before?
No I backed out but I know now, that I know
For, I sit here and hold back the tears
Feels like years love, feels like years since we kissed
When you said that, you’d never see me again
And I cried out, but I know now, that was when…

A Sky Apart
05:33
|

If there is a day when you’re lonely
We are only just a little sky apart
And in the night when I’m cold
We don’t get old, we just drift at heart
So say hello to the summer
And goodbye to the rain
And that lonely refrain
Because the Sun changes everything
And you can’t just frown
‘Cause you’ll only stay proud
For once I was struggling
I was muddling my way through it all
But one of these years
Some of these tears did dry
And you don’t have to try
You only have to see that if you say goodbye to the rain and hello to today…
Because the Sun changes everything
And if the Sun changes everything
Then you can’t just frown ‘cause you’ll only stay proud
Let's say the day must come round again
And the Sun changes everything

By Our Dreams
05:23
|

In my dream I could face the day
And I wished my year away
And to think that they said
Things would get better in time
Not tonight would I cry
I won’t watch those days go by no more
For I swore to myself
Things would be better with time
All through the night
Fakes at home
And through their windows
I could see
That not by ourselves can we be better
Maybe together we might be
You might say that I’m blind
You might think that my mind has gone
And lapsed into a dream
But by our dreams we are freed
And when I awake
I found myself where I’ve always been
And not a cloud in the sky
Not a shard of that past where it lay
Not a line on a map
Or a time difference can keep blind hope at bay
For now and then I can see that sunrise peaking over the mountain
I might take my days
And live them more than I count them
For by our dreams we are freed

It's Not The Moon
05:00
|
|||
My love is tired and it’s no secret I’m more lost than found
All of the words that I speak, they’re just hollow sounds to me
Every time I think “oh life is grand”
There’s a whisper, just before it’s gets out of hand
And we’re once more unto the breach my friend
One small sniff of that Autumn wind
And we both come running back again
You can’t pretend it’s too soon
That it’s not the moon
For though there were times when the Sun was high
I wouldn’t say he’s alone in that sky, oh no
Now that there’s time I lift my eyes to the moon
And I can see how it’s tied me to you
All of those signs that my mind might have moved
I couldn’t see for my eyes were on the moon
Yes there were times when the Sun was high
I wouldn’t say he’s alone in that sky
All of those days and all of the nights
I have tried with all of my might to choose
Then if it’s not the moon, let it be you

It Came Over The Hill
02:33
|

It came over the hill
Right then the villagers ran away
All of my life I threatened to stray
Over the hill
It came over the hill
Cautious but willing to bare it’s claws
Not for a moment
Had I thought for pause
As I made for the hill
And when I thought
What would God do for them that he couldn’t for me
As they made for the bridge I yearned for the sea
And the faster I ran the more the beast followed on
Still I ran strong, far from the shore and over the hill
It came over the hill
Plastered and ready for rage
And in my heart I built it a cage
If you want me to stand guard I will
It came over the hill

There Is No Past
04:56
|
|||
All of the days were laughing
All of the nights were shy of sound
But when those shades came down at last
There was no past
All of those miles are nothing at all
Most of those smiles are trying to frown
I know
But when my eyes look down they see
Now is not for me
Life is mine to hold
Only the told get old
And that’s not for me
Let’s play house
Now that it ours
And let’s just get lost at last
For here there’s no past
All of my paper’s been blotted
And the score card has been marked
And in Krapp’s tape we spotted a spark
But that was not for me
Life is ours to hold
Only the told get old
And that’s not for me
So, let’s play house
Now that it’s finally ours
And let’s just get lost at last
For here, there’s no past
