Love, let me love you one more time
Let my teeth remember your skin
Counting memories in the dark again
Eating like rust at a lost future
I watch, I watch you again
I touch, I touch you again
Give me back all of those names
They were never meant to hurt you
They won’t tell you something
They don’t want you ever to know
Give me back my eyes, give me back my hands
Let me teach you all I know
Counting raindrops in the river
I’ll swim until I see some sky
Don’t tell me what I don’t want to know
Love, let me dance again like the first time
My slipping fingers under your dress
My hot breath on the window
With rain like memories that cry
Love, let me be that dress tonight
Let me tear away your skin
I’m a memory in the dark
A ghost of a past you’re still to find
I won’t tell you something
I don’t want you ever to know

Hold me tight, I feel so cold
I hate the night, It’s when I grow old
Hear my plight, I’m not so bold
Taking flight, this story’s told
In a minute, it won’t take me too long
These words are more than just a song
They’re my hymn
To you I sing
Hold me tight, I feel so old
I hate the night, it’s when I grow cold
Taking flight, I’m not so bold
Hear my plight, this story’s told
In a minute, it won’t take me too long
These words are more than just a song
They’re my hymn
To you I sing
In the dark I reach for you so
You enfold me, with what you told me
So I can grow
Hold me tight, I feel so cold
I hate the night, It’s when I grow old
Hear my plight, I’m not so bold
Taking flight, this story’s told
In a minute, it won’t take me too long
These words are more than just a song
It’s my hymn
To you I sing
To you I sing
This my hymn
It’s my hymn
To you I sing

La Passione Della Luna

I would drown in the oceans
I would sink in the seas
I would burn crossing the desert
If it would keep you next to me
I would freeze on the ice-shelf
Fall off the mountain high
Lose myself in the jungle
If it would keep you by my side
It’s like there’s been no light before you
It’s like I never lived
If it meant just one second of you
There’s nothing I wouldn’t give
I would drown in the oceans
I would sink in the seas
I would burn crossing the desert
If I could hold you for eternity
I would freeze on the ice-shelf
Fall off the mountain high
I would go anywhere on earth
If it would keep you by my side
It’s like there’s been no light before you
It’s like I never lived
If it meant just one second of you
There’s nothing I wouldn’t give

When It’s late
When it’s late and dark
When it’s late and dark and cold
That’s when I know, she’ll call, and I’ll run
When there’s tears
When there’s tears and sadness,
When there’s tears and sadness and fear
That’s when I know, she’ll call, and I’ll run
God keep me, god keep me
From falling in love again
When I’m out there all alone
Heartsore and I’m tired to the bone
Whisper in my ear
Comes in crystal clear
I need a beacon like her to guide me home
When I’m tired
When I’m tired and lonely
When I’m tired and lonely and sore
That’s when I know, I’ll call, and she’ll come
God keep me, god teach me
To fall in love again
God reach me, I know, she’ll teach me
To fall in love again

So You Can Smile Again

Should you say it in a whisper?
Or hushed like a prayer?
Well as long as I can hear your words
I don’t really care
God knows, I’m not perfect
Didn’t think I was so flawed
Didn’t Know didn’t realise
Till the day you didn’t walk in the door
I’d like to hear your voice is all
Sit and talk a while and then
Perhaps I’ll tell a joke or two
So I can see you smile again
I tell you that’s why I’m leaving
So you can smile again

She called me again
Asked me, to be a friend
‘Cause it will only hurt, when it breaks
She needs some time
To work out, how to define
The internal things and who knows how long that will take?
Of course I agree
‘Cause that’s, just like me
And I know I’m never going to change her
I hang up the phone
And the words just before the dial tone hang there
“Just don’t ever be a stranger”
Sometimes I feel, like the greatest man who never was
Never will be, never could be, but who’ll ever know?
And you know, I could write their lines
‘Cause I don’t know how many times I heard all this unfold
And excuses are never the truth
And honesty these days is so undersold
It’s so undersold
I’ve heard it before,
So what’s, one girl more?
To say, “You’re fantastic….but”
Discussion is senseless
So I’ve built my defences
So that all this crap no longer cuts
I’ve heard that refrain
It’s imprinted in my brain
So I’ll write it all down, then chuck it away
These words are for me
I guess they’re, some form of therapy
It’s corny; but tomorrow is another day
And sometimes I feel, like the greatest man who never was,
Never will be, never could be, but who’ll ever know?
But who’ll ever know?
But who’ll ever know?
And she’ll never know.

There’s a voice that wanders in over the phone
No distance despite the miles but I’m still alone
The walls are thin and I can’t keep them in place
I wonder what we could be in another time and space
If you take me
Take me now
Forever is too long
The sky here is the most wondrous blue
Reminds me of the first time I really met you
But years are caverns that can’t be crossed back over
So I slide myself down deep and hide myself under the covers
Pull down the pictures
Pull down the memories
Pull down the dreams
Pull down you and me

Stand In Your Fire
05:28

Thought I’d left this behind
In a room that was locked by a much younger man
There are things that surround me
I will never understand
You stopped listening to me
All I can do is swear at the moon
And scamper and scrape to the tunes that I hear
Your skin dances to someone else’s tune
And the words that I find will swarm like moths
To the golden flame of your dreams
Tied my hands in a prayer
And stared at an icon high on a hill
It made me acknowledge the debts that I owe
But never admit that I have feelings still
So I rein in emotions
A release in crying that I thought I’d lost
I sift through the pile of junk
That represents all the things that we tossed
And the memories I find will swarm like moths
To the golden flame of that dream
You can laugh at me now,
Make jokes of me until I laugh no more
Tell all the criers and back street flyers
That I was a coat that you once wore
I will stand on your doorstep
Shiver and curse until I make some sense
Holler and scream at this cursed life
That took away all our innocence
Then the curses we used will swarm like moths
To the glowing embers where our dreams had been
I don’t want to play any more
It’s a lazy, stupid, stuff-it-all world
That turned out twisted and incredibly dense
And stinks of all the shit that we hurled
Let me stand in your fire
Consume me like cheap wine on Saturday night
Let me burn me down like a candle
Until there is no more trace of light
The light is gone, the warmth has left
There is no fire, just our withered dreams
Let me stand in your fire

Orange Lamborghini

She dreams of driving an orange Lamborghini
And spending all her days at the beach in her bikini
She’s got a smile that can brighten up the world
She got married young, and had herself a kid
Her man was a cheating bastard so walk away she did
Behind that radiant smile
There’s an amazing strength within
With all that strength I know that in the end
She’ll get her Lamborghini
Oh yeah, she beams that smile
Maybe to hide the hurt within
But once she brings out that strength I know
She’ll head towards that Lamborghini
Right now life isn’t quite going the way she wanted it to go
She just needs to remember all that strength she’s already shown
Keep flashing that brilliant smile
And let your strength come to the skin
And before too long I’m sure you’ll be ok
Driving your Lamborghini
To the beach on your bikini
In your orange Lamborghini
You gotta keep that smile
Never let it go
Orange Lamborghini
Orange Lamborghini
