YOU SAY AH (top)
I saw a light before me
I saw it coming for me
A big sun
2 tons
Open a door before me

He said
Let’s take a trip
She said
A silver ship
Dreamin’
Of better kicks

Ah, You Say Ah
Baby this moment is all we’ve got
You Say Ah

Look at
What I’ve become
Speaking
Your native tongue
Freedom
Is why I come

Ah, You Say Ah
Maybe this moment is all we’ve got
You Say Ah

I’m sailing up
Save me a place on the rail, won’t ya
You Say Ah

Keep it
Secret
Meet me
By the window here we go

Ah, You Say Ah
‘Cuz runaway girl’s never gonna stop
You Say Ah

I’m sailing up
Maybe this moment is all we’ve got
You Say Ah

IVY (top)
She calculates me with her hands
She counts her breath in grains of sand
She has a Monet and a friend
She likes to smile at married men
Ivy
Full of envy
grows around a fence inside the yard
Ivy
Can you hear me
Wind your way into another heart
I'd like to carve her face in stone
And then I'd never be alone
She is getting in too deep
Deeper than the sea
(chorus)
Wind your way into another lonely heart
into a heart
another lonley heart

Ivy
Full of envy
grows around a fence inside the yard
Ivy
Can you hear me
Wind your way into another heart

OH MARY (top)
Oh, Mary why are you crying
Won’t you come and open the door
You haven’t been around lately
Won’t you come and open the door

On fences, on airplanes wings the see you when you come on down
In ice cream cakes and frosting they can see you smiling when they’re down
Won’t you come around

Oh Mary, so many love you
Don’t you know what they ask for
They come every Saturday morning
won’t you come and open the door

On surfboards with cameras they conjure up the shadows
For hours, plastic flowers, unseen powers when you’re appearing now

Oh Mary, so many love you
Don’t you know what they ask for
They come every Saturday morning
won’t you come around once more

Oh Mary why are you crying
No one comes around anymore
They haven’t seen you lately
Won’t you come and open the door

Won’t you come and open the door
Won’t you come and open the door

HAPPINESS (top)
So we started out
In cold and dark
And I wanted more
From your heart

So I’ll go ahead
And I won’t look back
No, I won’t look back again, again
No, I won’t look back again

I.....I’m out of the rain
Watershed is flowing down
I’m free again

I....I’m out of the mess
Showering down something strange
It’s happiness

Oh my arms
are tired and cold
From flying for us both

But I won’t let go
Of my soul this time
No, I won’t let go of my soul again
No, I won’t let go of my soul again

I.....I’m out of the rain
Watershed is flowing down
I’m free again

I....I’m out of the mess
Showering down something strange
It’s happiness

I....I’m out of the mess
Showering down something strange
It’s happiness
It’s happiness
It’s happiness

QUIET (top)
Quiet
You don’t have to be quiet
When you come and go (all around the...)
And you come and go

So softly
Soft like feathers
slowly, floating circles in the snow
and you come and go
come and go

Sweetly
you were singing so sweetly
in the summer dawn
falling gently down
like raindrops

warm llike heather
holding on to nothing in the breeze
as the sun sinks low
come and go

Falling awake
morning reminds me
there is a place
no one can find me
here we breathe
disappearing

Quiet
You don’t have to be quiet
When you come and go
And you come and go

like daylight
purple twilight
yesterday is gone so calico
and you come and go
come and go

IRRESISTIBLE YOU (top)
Eyes sideways
Hands steady
Target moving
Finger ready
You’re ice in summer
You’re candy cane
Bees in the honey
And I’m helpless again, you’re

Irresistible
Irresistible you
Irresistible
Irresistible you

Smell the rose
Feel the bloom
Sing the song
I am so into you
I’m slipping inside you
Overwhelmed
Are you feeling it you

Irresistible
Irresistible you
Irresistible
Irresistible you

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE (top)
Lay your heart on my body
Lay your head on my sleeve
Lay down beside me
Let your soul be released
You give me
Love, Love, Love
Love so free
Love, Love, Love
I am complete

Old man tends to a garden
Young girl sings in her sleep
Warm wind carries a blue bird
Like you carry me
You give me
Love, Love, Love
Love so free
Love, Love, Love
I am complete

Baby’s got a gold heart
Tall tree grows from a seed
Water, love and sunshine
Are all we really need
You give me
Love, Love, Love
Love so free
Love, Love, Love
I am complete

LUCKY (top)
How lucky .....
can you get
Someone, somewhere paid your debt
I call that lucky
as a son of a bitch can get

Everyone wants you
Did you ever think when you were young and like a puppy
you would ever be the girl
See the sun is coming up and there’s your silver lining
Somehow you’ve changed your world

Did you use your body
or did you use your heart
You’re so popular
Born under a lucky star

I am an angry girl in an angry world and I’m suffering
You got the easy road,
easy as you go smooth sailing right past me

(Chorus)

Did you walk a crooked line kiss the dice a second time
You’re in the limelight now
Acting like a movie queen stealing someone else’s scene
Look how you lay down

(Chorus)
I wanna be a lucky girl
I wanna be a lucky girl

MRS. GREEN (top)
Hey, Mrs. Green
There’s a light in the Holland Tunnel you can’t see
Hey, Mrs. Green
Do you even know that winter’s turned to spring
Twenty years is long enough
to wait for him who gave you up
No explanation ever came
But your child bears his name

Mr. Arthur Green
Was a nice young man who wanted to write poetry
He declared his love
Then hit the road and never came back that spring
Do you remember when you made love
while Jimmy sang
You think every day he will return

But he never thinks of her
He never thinks of her
Late at night he lays down and dreams... Mrs. Green

Hey, Mr. Green
You live a nice rich life and have another family
I can’t believe
You can pick and chose which will be your memories
Neither can the first Mrs. Green.

SOMEDAY (top)
Someday
Someday
Wish I could say
Don’t feel a thing
That the agony was for nothing
But if wishes all came true
There’d be a perfect me and you
Someday
I’ll see you on the milky way and I’ll wave
and I won’t feel a thing
Someday
We’ll laugh about how lost we are
Someday
I’ll see you again
and all will be well with the world

Now I know why it was meant to be
Splashing down on the street
You and me are a mystery
Fools for a day
Far away
A million years and counting
Gods play
With us and it’s okay

(Chorus)

Far away
A million years and counting
Fly around
Don’t look at the ground

(Chorus)

HELLO (top)
It’s a bitter wisdom
Standing here upon the other side
You don’t look so beautiful in this light
Since I’ve been gone
Part of me is between the right and wrong
Tell me what’s going on
I know you don’t want to talk about it
And I don’t really want to know
But there’s something going on inside your soul

Here we are
Ripped apart
And when do we wake up
In another time and space
I still love you
You’re not alone
Hello

Silent morning
Agonizing, soul destroying
We twist and spin the mannequin
In so many ways
You and I, we dance a strange ballet
And I’m afraid

I sacrificed words at the table
And you don’t really want to know
I see something going on inside your soul

Here we are
Ripped apart
And when do we wake up
In another time and space
I still love you
You’re not alone
Hello

JANUARY (top)
January
got me through
February
without you
Did you think I’d stand
for an ordinary man
Now you’re going overboard and
No one’s really overjoyed and
Why’d you have to hold my hand too soon

Green and grassy
our promise plan
We were laughing
we were love
Did they think I’d stand
for an ordinary man
Now you’re going overboard and
No one’s really overjoyed and
Why’d you have to hold my hand too soon

Running softly, fields of your kiss
Secret promise keeps
Rolling sea took you from me
These were our days
These our days of
January
March is getting so much colder and
I am growing slowly older
How’s a girl supposed to wait til June
But I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you
For you

IT’S ALRIGHT (top)
I know you better than no one
Your satellite is pointed my way
Sky high, riding on a jet stream
I’ll bring the tang, you bring the tangerine
Are you ready to fly
It’s alright
You must be leading me somewhere
(It’s alright)
You turned my heart into hardware
Today’s the day
The world spins the other way
When you hold me tight
Everything’s alright

Hey, do you think about who you
Would like to trip through space with sometime
The world is turning, but I’m standing still
Spinning faster than a chariot wheel
Can I hitch a ride?
Today’s the day
The world spins the other way
When you hold me tight
Everything’s alright
The sun will burn, the stars will fall, we’ll fill the universe tonight
Kiss me, hold me just like you told me you know
Baby, it’s alright

WHO CARRIES YOU (top)
Is, this what you get
From what you left and didn’t do
Is this what you’ve chosen
The door was left open
Now the choice has chosen you
In the rough
Have you had enough
You’re a pro at going nowhere fast but down
Who carries you this time
When you swore it’s the last time
That’s good advice from one who likes to
Think that they should know
So, stuck in slow motion
Watching yourself slip further to
Ends of an ocean
No twist of fate to pull you through

Is it time, for your line
Where’s the audience to watch your final bow
Who carries you this time
When you swore it’s the last time
That’s good advice from one who likes to
Think that they should know
Wasn’t it good enough to try
Reaching inside you, it’s a lie
The attempt was made
But it didn’t take
I should know

I’ll carry you this time
But I swear it’s the last time
I take advice from one who likes to
Think that they should know

SURRENDER (top)
To give the flower
You must cut it down
To get the gift
You must rip it open
And if you fall
Surrender
Let it all fall away
And the rain will fill a river to carry you

To sing the song
Stop talking
To walk the walk
Stop running
And if you fall
Surrender
Let it all fall away
And the rain will fill a river to carry you

Can you say
Is this the day?
Is today the day I die?
Could I say that it’s alright?
Everything I wanted
I had to lose
Holding on too tightly
Took me from you
And there’s nothing left that I can do, but
Surrender
Surrender
Love and love and love will carry you

WAITED FOR YOU (top)
The moment of truth at the burning stake
Trying to hold the hand of a different fate
I waited for your answer but it was too late
I waited for you
Used to be so easy living here with you
I used to feel like an angel, I used to
But lately I have noticed you’ve got better things to do
I waited for you
I waited for you, I waited for you
I waited for you, I waited for you
I gave you my heart but you never knew
How I waited for you

If I was a doctor I would fix your brain
But away the wire that keeps you sane
But the fire’s getting lower and it’s starting to rain
(chorus)

We suffer in the silence of an ancient fate
It’s harder to love and it’s easy to hate
What we really need is a tasteful escape
So there’s no crying

I waited for you, I waited for you
I waited for you, I waited for you
I gave you my heart but you never knew
How I waited for you

HIDING (top)
Can you dig deep down inside
Do you seek what you can’t find
All the visions make you blind
To all the places you’ve been hiding
Who has done these things to you
Left you silent and so bruised
Left your heart so black and blue
In the darkness you can’t find it
Let me help you
Let me help you
Let me help you find your heart
It’s been hiding
You’re so scared and so alone
I will give you what you need
Like a mother to a child
I will hold you til you sleep

Keep the secrets safe outside
Kiss the dragons when you dream
When we face the morning light
Look for truth and look for kindness
Let me help you
Let me help you
Let me help you find your heart
It’s been hiding

BLUE (top)
Blue
Was the color of the distance
Blue
Was the color of you
Who knew
When all was said and done between us
I’d be
The innocent fool

Now I’m out of the spell you spun
I can see green trees, I can feel the sun
I’ve got a key to my own front room
But everytime I look in the mirror - I see you

Blue
Was the color of the distance
Blue
Was the color of you

Not like a summer’s day
When the bluebirds sang us a serenade
Not like the twilight sky
When I took your hand I felt a chill in mine

Blue
Was the color of the distance
Blue
Was the color of you

NO ONE GETS ENOUGH (top)
There’s a girl in a gingham dress
There’s a boy locked in his room
There’s a sin I can’t confess
There’s a heart you break in two
When you say you don’t need love
But no one gets enough

Who built the wall around your heart
What secret makes you hide
I have tried to tear it down
Brick by brick I have to climb
When you say you don’t need love
But no one gets enough

You can say,you don’t need love
You can say,you don’t need love
You can say,you don’t need love
You can say,you don’t need love
But no one gets enough
We can’t get enough...

RAINBOW MAN (top)
Lost in face, saving grace
Time is only empty space
The vacant stare the glossy glare
But no one dares to lose the race
Wishing minutes could be days
Begs to borrow stolen ways
Rest assured there is no cure
For what is pure is just a phase
The end is near
As the power churns
And the hours burn like years

Left in chains
Random fear only learns to reappear
In the strangest of places
Where the proudest of faces
Are smiling ear to ear
Rainbow man locked away
For trying to do the right thing
The wrong way
What can I say

Nothing is forever
Nothing is free
Nothing is good enough for me
(chorus)

Greater than a mountain
Deeper than the sea
Nothing is good enough for me

NO SYMPATHY (top)
He’s from a broken home
His father left him long ago
Watched too much mtv
That’s what they said to the jury
She walked down a suburban street
Summer night false security
She wasn’t doing anything
And was a victim of his violence
Violating violence
He ran and struck her down
Ripped her shirt as she hit the ground
She screams and she shakes
She pays for what he takes
Sympathy
No sympathy

Now she is a shell
A sliver of her former self
There’s no sympathy in hell
When you’re a victim of violence
Violating violence
Is that the way of the world
Is that what boys learn about girls
They scream they shake
They pay for what he takes
Sympathy
No sympathy

How does it feel to be sent downtown
How does it feel on prison grounds
I hope you scream i hope you shake
I hope you pay for what you take
Sympathy
no sympathy
Sympathy
no sympathy

I ENVY YOU (top)
You stand there like an empty page
I’m feeling like a child inside
Lost in outer space
You let nothing carry you away
Like I’m waiting for the sky to fall
And to put you in its place
And I envy you
I envy you
The smile I could almost see through
I envy you
la la la...

The door is open and the lions are free
Yet you seem to be at peace
While the world crumbles at your feet
I could throw my fist and make you bleed
Still your heart hasn’t moved
Yet somewhere in me it tried to beat
And I envy you
I envy you
Nothing could break you in two
I envy you
I envy you
I envy you
Your blood will always be blue
I envy you
la la la la....

I wish that I was born yesterday
You put your arm around anything
But I can’t be that way
(chorus)

REVELATION (Midwest Revelation) (top)
We’re children walking wounded
Talking empty words
Planted in a cornfield
Staring at the birds
Fly across a million dollar sky
searching the horizon for a sign
No guts and no gloryTake me to the mountains
Homogenized and fedTake me to the sea
No Happy Father’s Day storyTake me anywhere
When you’re 12 and left for dead I can be free

Fly across a million dollar sky
searching the horizon for a sign
We’re children walking woundedTake me to the mountains
Hoping it’s a dream Take me to the sea
Burning barns and bridges ÔCause this green
What I need As far as I can see
Is a revelation
Fly across a million dollar sky
searching the horizon for a sign
Fly, Fly
Fly come on fly
What I need is a revelation.

HOME (top)
I can see you now
Smiling as you wave
We’re going, going, going
To a different place
Miles of green grass
Face pressed to the glass
I’m leaving, leaving, leaving
While your memory fades to black
Now I’m here
There are lemons in the backyard here (going nowhere fast)
There are pictures on the sidewalk here (holding to the last)
But I just want to stay inside - trying to find (trying not to try)
My way home

Took a trip today
No one knows my name
I keep thinking there’s an answer
Some magical answer in my hat
(Chorus)
(Bridge)

But I’m still here
Paying music in the backroom here (go)
Trying to find a place to hide in here (go)
I just want to stay inside - trying to find (home)
My way home
I can see you now.
Smiling as you wave...
