Well it's too hard to know what the future holds
any day I'll be getting old
And it's real close to what the Gypsy told.
I won't let you slip away
I wonder if other people know
About the pit inside where nothing grows
Always think it's underground
I won't let it slip away
I won't let you slip away
I won't let you slip away
I won't let you slip away
I won't let you slip away
Well I'm going in with open eyes
Something there is bound to rise
Nothing I would recognise
I won't let it slip away
I won't let you slip away
I won't let you slip away
I won't let you slip away
I won't let you slip away

Week of No Days
03:22

Here they are, my strategies all laid out
Stay inside, never going out again
Faces at the window, burn in shame
Under the sheets in a week of no days
Week of no days burn in shame
Week of no days, no face no name
Week of no days
Human interest stories on the radio
Oh no, I don't wanna hear about it
Faces at the window, don't wanna know
No time for a week of no days
Another day in a week of no days
Curtains closed, no one even knows my name
Faces at the window burn in my brain
Days and weeks, months of no days
Week of no days burn in shame
Week of no days, no face no name
Week of no days

Count up to five, come sit by the fire, isn't this a riot?
Cause you made it this far and you shine like a star.
Count up to ten, let me know just when you wanna do it again
It'll help me, you have this power, Lady of the Flowers.
Count up to six let's get a kick, tear me into strips and remake me
The room's on fire and your touch makes me come alive.
Count up to ten, let's do it again, you're not just my friend
You make me.
You make me
Wanna count the hours with the Lady of the Flowers
You make me.
Lady of the Flowers

For You To Have
03:08

What's on the other side of the river
What's on the other side for we two love?
I wanna sit together by the river
I cant imagine what will happen.
Wait just a minute there
I'm going too slow
What's on your mind, dearest friend?
Maybe we can find another way down
To the ocean ,there's so many paths
And the curling, whirling river floats us down stream
And the plovers rise from the river, it's like a dream.
I'm only saying what I'm feeling,
It's for you to have.
Make up your mind and surely we will find.
Godesses and spirits gather round
sometimes I see you there in the trees
Nice to look and love but not to hold
The ocean's creatures worth more than gold
I'm only saying what I'm feeling,
I touch the underworld'
Can't believe what I'm seeing
Another kind of girl
Can only tell you what I'm seeing
It's for you to have
Make up your mind and surely we will find.
And the curling, whirling river floats us up stream
And the plovers rise from the river, it's like a dream.
I'm only saying what I'm feeling,
It's for you to have.
Make up your mind and surely we will find.

That Way
05:07
|

Down empty streets, laneways and beats
Where people meet, in the backseats
Some people play while other pray
even if they don't get their way,
They want someone to hear what they have to say
Even if they don't get their way
Some people leave while others stay
Even if they don't get their way
They just want it that way
She takes you home, don't wanna be alone
look into her eyes, there's no more lies
and for once in a while, you're not feeling low.
From empty streets to your heartbeat
So very sweet, so complete.
To naked sheets
Some people play while other pray
even if they don't get their way,
They want someone to hear what they have to say
Even if they don't get their way
Some people leave while others stay
Even if they don't get their way
They just want it that way

Goin' Round in my Head
02:33

Trying hard to stabilise
Goin' round in my head
They can see it in my eyes
Goin' round in my head
Trying to compartmentalise
Goin' round in my head
Maybe it should make me nervous
Dissect and dehumanize
Goin' round in my head
Ridicule and hypnotise
Goin' round in my head
I Think about it, agonise
Goin' round in my head
Gotta find what's below the surface
I try to find where the river flows
Goin' round in my head
I try to find where the money goes
Goin' round in my head
Why I chose the life I chose
Goin' round in my head
Maybe it should not concern me
Don't know what instincts urge us
Goin' round in my head
Or what instincts preserve us
Goin' round in my head
I don't wan't a life of service
Goin' roiund in my head
Or what dreams disturb us

Missing Kissing
05:43
|

Four o'clock in the morning,
and there's no way I'm gonna sleep
People in the lane are talking
secrets they can't keep.
Thinking about your kisses
so gentle and discreet,
Out of all the kisses I've ever had,
nothing tasted quite so sweet
And I'm wishing it was you here
The days and weeks without you make me ill at ease.
Empty pillow, empty bed
empty rooms empty head.
Think of me in this empty place
like I think of you far away in space.
Wake me up with your kisses
When we lay upon the sheets
Out of all the kisses I've ever had
Nothing made me feel complete.
And I'm wishing it was you here
The days and weeks without you make me ill at ease.
So I'll lie here the bedroom
think about you for a while.
Think about a melody
Something that can make you smile.
People in the lane, still talking
Telling secrets they can't keep
Waiting for the doors to open
On kisses soft and sweet
And I'm wishing it was you here
The days and weeks without you make me ill at ease
.And I'm wishing it was you here
The days and weeks without you make me ill at ease.
