Boots
01:37

i can hear you in the parlor
foot steps i could never see
you won my books and my frustrations
my piano and middle C
can't you see this town is burning
burning right to the ground
all the leaves and trees on fire
there's no need for hanging round
unlock the gates to the cathedral
let us in and get them out
you never did care much for parties
couldn't bear to even shout
but oh my love
where did the boots go that you brought for me
and oh my love
where did the boots go that you brought for me

The Wild Wolf
04:28
|

oh no one will be ever armed and lately
ah the lovers got their reasons to be empty
but it's oh so sad
she's been oh so bad
with the lovers in the shadows on the weekend
she's been kissing all the boys without a raincoat
seems her reasons lack the water, sink and won't float
it's been oh so empty
she's been oh so lost
with the lovers in the shadows on the weekend
guess i can sleep in tomorrow
better to lose than to borrow
cause tomorrow's just the only day we have
saw you whispering to the wild wolf in the evening
while red riding hood finally gave up, started leaving
but its oh so secret
its all such a shame
with the lovers in the shadows in the weekend
aw the wild wolf calls me every night
ah the wild wolf brings us delight
ah the wild wolf calls me every night
yes the wild wolf follows fright
oh the wild wolf is my best friend
the wild wolf never comes at in the end
the wild wolf broke a window for me
said hello and then let me leave

near the swans in the park

and all we know won't bring us down
and all we say won't turn us round
or get us down and out

water killed your lawn

Endless Waiting
04:04
|
|||
stand by me don't deny me
i could be your little moon
she got up and left in june
like her mother left it was too soon
i cannot close the door
i've never been this close before
she brought oceans to my shore
who could ever ask for more?
goodbye baby
goodbye baby
goodbye baby
inside a broken book
oh i got up to take a look
yes the ground you know it shook
like a mission bell right off the hook
beside an empty bed
lonely thoughts rang through my head
all the stupid things i said
but i'll walk on and move instead
goodbye baby
goodbye baby
goodbye baby
endless waiting
i want to come home
endless waiting
i want to come home
can't buy me poison ivy
i can't stand to see you swoon
the only light is from the moon
here have back your silver spoon
no baby don't be crazy
you can have your plastic suit
take it easy don't be cute
you're like a gun i paid too much to shoot
goodbye baby
goodbye baby
goodbye baby
endless waiting
i want to come home
endless waiting
i want to come home

and i never ever ever wanna let you go
oh i feel that time i slipping away
told the captain on the first night
that things it seems are just not right

now on the lake lands a turtle dove
and hey have i told you i need your love
but oh i'm good at hiding it away
and oh so many times i'm wrong
but i guess my pride's just much too strong
oh now i'm here admitting that's okay

Midnight Turns Into Day
02:34
|
|||
you're building people up, but you are no architect
now there falling down and really what did you expect?
but oh i know, the walls are caving in
graves lay side by side, but she won't change her mind for you
it's not the things you've got, but all the things you wouldn't do
and oh i know, you've never lost so much
it's all over now
there's nothing more to say
it's all over now
best be on your way
it's all over now
midnight turns into day
electronics turn you on, but nothing seems to shut you down
the feelings are all gone, the crypt is closed, there is no sound
but oh i know the lights are hard to see
it's all over now
there's nothing more to say
it's all over now
best be on your way
it's all over now
midnight turns into day

Seven
03:11
|
|||
seven, seven where did you go?
you haven't, haven't come back now i know
oh what a mess you left us
i must confess this loneliness is all coming undone
seven, seven you locked all the doors
and i've been, i've been pacing the floors
oh what a shame poor vivian
she's not to blame, your name breaks my heart
got people calling me
pretending they have never seen a lonely boy before
but i remember well
you told them they can go to hell
you know i need you more
oh so much more
seven, seven i tried and i tried
but seven, seven i've lied and i've lied
oh what a drag to see it
they brag and they brag
feel me, please heal me
seven

Middle Of Darkness
04:31
|
|||
been stuck in a windmill
in a permanent daze
been counting my blessings
in a couple a ways
but i know it's alright
i saw visions of endings
maybe one or two
seemed quite familiar
maybe could of been you
but i know it's alright
been sitting here reading
about howard hughes
just searching for answers
maybe something to use
ah he could fly
but he couldn't stop thinking
let me paint you a picture
i'll sketch the outline first
it's a permanent portrait
of william randolph hearst
it's all over, he's alright
and she can talk me through the night
in the middle of darkness
she's a steady light
and i feel like i've been drowning
like a boat with a breakthrough
i got nothing to write

Waiting
03:09
|
|||
why can't we get together
why does this take so long
lighter than a feather
guess i could be wrong
all my days are lonely
and my nights are too
tell me little miss lonely
where the hell are you?
you keep me waiting waiting waiting
waiting on you
oh you said you won't be long
so i began the travelers song
but oh i guess you were delayed
but now i wish
you would have stayed
the fire from a match stick
set the sights on me
love can be a cruel trick
but i just don't see
how long will i stay here
give me something please
a double sided gold mirror
bring me gentle ease
you keep me waiting waiting waiting
waiting on you
oh you said you won't be long
so i began the travelers song
but oh i guess you were delayed
but now i wish
you would have stayed

Broken Bones
03:49
|
|||
oh i crawled across broken bones
so why couldn't you pay the loans
of ghost gone by
but even dead men try
oh i heard you in days and nights
but why couldn't you hold the rights
of all you said
but i am finding red
dead men walk to the wall
you've been locked but you stall
and when i call
don't stand all
oh i crawl across broken ships
just to place my hands on your hips
with ghosts gone by
but even dead men cry

EP Foster
02:53
|
|||
sitting in a study with a black dog
a photographic memory
fish bones and books
its not like the night can fight the fog
everybody's listening
but nobody looks
and ep foster finds it hard to find
anyone he knows
left behind
silence in the seance and he's lost
tables go flying
and green lights turn off
vivians crying and the wild wolf is gone
the seance is over
and he's left alone
and ep foster finds it hard to find
anyone he knows
left behind

Give Up The Ghost
03:19
|
|||
all the books in just one room
couldn't equal one pharaohs tomb
cold stone walls couldn't hold me in
give up the ghost i know where you've been
just one word on my telephone
electricity howls while you're all alone
lines on the road that led to you
give up the ghost now baby blue
and i walk on and on
if only to see our music box
on someones shelf quiet as a fox
to fill the air with something new
give up the ghost now baby blue
tree house burn right to the ground
what was inside just can't be found
guess you could say the fires out
give up the ghost don't hang about
and i walk on and on
