I Didn't Call
02:11
|

|
I didn't call to see you....
I didn't call to see if you were at home,
I didn't call you last evening,
I didn't call you up to sound overblown,
to tell you hello or goodbye.
I didn't call to say that was alone,
I didn't call in the morning,
I didn't call you up to throw any stones,
to tell you the truth or a lie.
I didn't call you to say I'm in love,
I didn't call you on time,
I didn't call for all of the above,
to laugh,
reminisce,
or to try.
I didn't call you to correct or condone,
I didn't call you to help me,
and if you realized the things you now know,
you would never have answered at all.

Everywhere
01:48
|
|||
|
It's everywhere,
I can feel it in the air,
It's everywhere,
though you act like you don't care.
Something isn't right,
are you falling?...
darkness when it's light,
are you falling here?
Something isn't right,
are you falling?...
darkness when it's light,
are you falling here?...
Tell where and when you'll be falling,
tell me where and when you'll be falling here.
It's everywhere,
I can feel it in the air.

Dust
01:50
|
|||
|
Last night you turned around to look at me,
not much to say,
I looked at you.
Your body turned to dust and blew away,
I kind of thought that mine would too.
But when the morning sun came up,
I was still around,
so I retrieved all of those windswept memories.
You turned around to me,
eyes filled with dust and dreams,
windswept with memories,
this one last time.

I Saw Someone
01:37
|
|||
|
I saw someone just the other day,
on just what street it was I couldn't say.
I see a lot of folks pass by,
some look at me,
I don't know why...
I see a lot of folks pass by,
and I look back,
and I don't know why I saw someone,

Dream in Sleep
02:43
|
|||
|
I awoke to a rainy day,
golden shoes worn on feet of clay,
something's wrong,
I heard someone say,
"how can you say you're in love"?
Suddenly I've heard things have changed,
when it ends it will stay the same,
something's wrong?
I heard someone say,
"how can you say you're in love"?
Sleep in dreams always,
dream in sleep,
and so if you dream of me let me know.
Sleep in dreams always,

Now and Again
01:40
|
|||
|
When?...
every now and then,
maybe when the night is full of wonder,
let me know.
When?...
now and again,
maybe if you say you're going under,
maybe so...
It's in what you said,
something else instead,
I'll leave it all to you,
to make it safely through,
or go away,
or stay here.

You Were Here
01:36
|
|||
|
You were here then you were gone,
not much was ever left,
a book,
a set of clothes,
and some of all the rest...
a sofa and a chair,
a shadow on the wall,
It's somewhere over there,
then nothing much at all.
You were here,
the you weren't at all
you were here.
then nothing...
you were here,
then nothing at all...
but somebody knows you're somewhere,
somebody knows you're somewhere.
Give a call...please...
you know where I am,
give a call...please...
or email if it"s handy.
You were here then you were gone.

Broken Puppet
01:20
|
|||
|
I am a broken puppet wearing a bathing suit,
the synthetic sun is something!
Gather up all the pieces,
throw them in an office pool,
and watch them float forever.
Find a ventriloquist who speaks his mind,
a prefabricated ocean,
maybe mine...
plastic sand,
plastic waves flow,
painted suntan,
my skin glows!
I am a broken puppet wearing a bathing suit,
the synthetic sun is something!

Sunshine
01:54
|
|||
|
I woke up early and I heard the rain,
but in a little while the sun came out and stayed,
I think it's going to be a lovely day,
too nice for me to think of going back to bed.
Bring some sunshine with you,
feel the summer air,
bring some sunshine with,
shine it everywhere,
birds are flying more than they ever flew before.
Feel the summer sun,
I have a lot of problems,
the sun's not one...
oh, feel the summer sun,
I have a lot of problems,
the sun's not one.

Rage
01:38
|
|||
|
It came in a rage in ways,
left everything torn that stayed,
it came in a rage all day,
all rain,
all grey that way.
So much for dining room chairs,
floors,
the odds and ends,
grab the family photographs,
they flew by again.

Softer Than Softball
02:02
|
|||
|
Somewhere there's a game softer than softball,
a game that's played under a summer rainfall.
Somewhere there's a game softer than softball,
a game that's played with sun and sea salt.
The ball will stay aloft,
it will always be so soft,
the ball will stay aloft always.
Somewhere there's a game softer than softball,
a game that's played with windows and no walls.
The ball will stay aloft.
it will always be so soft,
the ball will stay aloft always.
Somewhere there's a game played on a summer day,
on a seashore far away,
under the sun or the falling rain,
played with love.
Somewhere there's a game softer than softball,
a game that's played under a summer rainfall.

King Alfa

In Hawaii the starfish are swimming,
see what it's bringing,
"King Alfa Luka La Lay".
In Hawaii the sea is singing,
see what it's bringing,
"King Alfa Luka La Lay".
Seaweed grows,
starfish and rainbows go where the sea glows,
seaweed flows,
starfish and rainbows go where the wind blows.
Sea and sand,
hammerheads hand in hand,
tiger sharks are in the dark,
sun and sand,
hammerheads hand in hand,
tiger sharks are in the dark.

Druid Hill Park
02:12
|
|||
|
Waist deep and rising such a sad affair,
bedsheets like empty streets,
I'll see you there,
somewhere in the dark,
dead drunk in Druid Hill Park,
stray dogs that howl and bark.
Take time ,
know your place,
play solitaire,
bedsheets like empty streets,
I'll see you there,
somewhere in the dark,
dead drunk in Druid Hill Park,
stray dogs that howl and bark.
Heartbreak with nothing at stake,
hope you find something that's not a mistake...

hope you find something that's not a mistake,

|

Today is sun appreciation day,
tomorrow there will be other things to cheer about.
Hooray, it's Sun Appreciation Day,
tomorrow there will be other things to cheer about.
It looks so fine,
just pure sunshine,
but it can just as soon turn cloudy.
Today is Sun Appreciation Day,
tomorrow there will be other things to cheer about I'm sure.

I Love You More
02:52
|
|||
|
Your eyes are more blue than my nose is bent,
your face is more round than my hands are awkward.
I love you more, I love you more, I love you more,
than I hate myself.
Your legs are more shapely than my hair is thin,
your clothes are more chic than my jokes are bad.
I love you more, I love you more, I love you more,
than I hate myself.
I have knobby kness,
you've been overseas,
I just lost my house keys.
Your eyes are more blue than my nose is bent,
your face is more round than my hands are awkward.
I love you more, I love you more, l love you more,
than I hate myself.

No Explanation
02:15
|
|||
|
There are things I can recall,
some I can't recall at all,
I've no explanation.
Heard what you had to say,
didn't know you felt that way,
I've no explanation.
Clouds I saw just yesterday,
shadows on a window shade.
Maybe yours and maybe mine,
thinking that I crossed the line,
I've no explanation.
Clouds I just saw yesterday,
shadows on a window shade.
Or Fall in the afternoon air,
watching what just wasn't there,
thinking of those who I knew,
either by myself or here with you.
There are things I can recall,
some I can't recall at all,
I've no explanation.

Flight
01:42

Sometimes I like to fly around my bedroom,
flying like this is fine,
you should try it to,
I like to fly through my bedroom sometimes,
I can see the floor that seems to fade out of view.
I love to fly through my bedroom sometimes,
I can see the floor that seems to fade out of view.
Take a flight tonight,
you'll agree it's fine,
if your lease let's you...

Fun
01:26
|
|||
|
I want to go back where I belong,
wherever that was,
it's where I'm from.
I want to know what was said and done,
whatever that was,
it wasn't fun.
Be patient,
I fear I maybe kind of late tonight by many miles.
If you can hold tight,
I will be fine,
it should be alright after a while.
I want to go back sometime,
someway,
sometime,
someday.
I want to go back where I belong.

Golden Gate
01:34
|
|||
|
A golden gate to climb
a golden loss that I could find,
a golden sight to see,
a golden shadow next to me.
Golden wings to fly,
golden ways to say goodbye,
a golden heart in me,
a golden door,
a golden key.
Golden dreams and days,
golden seas always,
golden yours and mine,
golden moonlight all the time.
A golden gate to climb.

Gold
01:59
|
|||
|
I dream in red,
I wonder in white,
I tend to wish in off yellow.
The time I spend is purple,
goodbyes have shades of grey,
as do hellos.
Fear is awash in rose,
anger has streaks of something,
death isn't black,
it's gold,
these are some shades I have seen.
My ego is blue most all of the time,
hell's not the same shade as heaven.
I dream in red,
I wonder in white,
I tend to wish in off yellow.

New Things
02:00
|
|||
|
As I travelled to Paris,
I lost a lot of things,
as I travelled to Paris,
I lost my high school ring,
some were good things,
things I had for years,
goodbye old things,
hello new things.
So I bought some new things,
some of those things were large,
most of them were small things,
both fit inside my garage,
Each time the phone rings I look at my new things,
goodbye old things,
hello new things.
Goodbye old things,
where are my old things?
hello new things.

The Reason
01:36

What's the reason that I woke up for?...
Maybe it's time to go to sleep again,
I can see it's only seven.
What's the reason that I woke up for?...
Maybe it's time for all my dreams to end,
if not now then by eleven.
The weather looks bad,
it's going to rain,
I've no plans to go out,
I'd say I don't need my umbrella today,
I don't need my umbrella today.
Sunshine can be beautiful,
I dream of it sometimess,
sunshine can be beautiful,
like the rain outside.
What's the reason that I woke up for?
maybe it's time to go to sleep again,
I can see it's only seven.
