Lakewater hair, The sweetest smile you've seen for awhile In the green tipped afternoon. Trade the sun for the moon and the velvet of the night, Gives you a buzz, gives you a second sight, You know that she's the one.
Last time you fell in love, was the first time. Last time you fell in love, was the first time.
Love has a shape, Feel it swallow dive into your head And surface in your heart In the late summer night There's a bending of time And a million years seems to last all night, You know that she's the one.
Last time you fell in love, was the first time. Last time you fell in love, was the first time.
Oh it gives you something to talk about Something to hold onto, forever
Say goodbye, a half wave through the window Of a car then the tail lights drown her out Go down to the lake and you stay out all night, You get pretty drunk, feel bad inside, That girl was the one.
Last time you fell in love, was the first time. Last time you fell in love, was the first time.
I see you coming back to life I didn't know when you died. I watch you in the morning sun You're sleeping hard alone but, Now I think the darkness is done.
Believe, believe in me, and I will Be in your real life, your real life.
People feeling safe when you're sad Throws into relief what they have And sympathy just tightens the knot They're smiling but they're thinking "...there but for the grace of God..."
Believe, believe in me, and I will Be in your real life, your real life.
Let me be in your real life, your real life, I'll take the weight of your real life, Your real life, oh your real life Not the one you made to hide away.
I had a dream of you and I, We were falling side by side There was no where left for us to be And nothing complicated Just the way you looked at me...
I'm an alien in my life, Don't you know My skin is white as snow. I went running to the sun it burned me up, A painful kind of fun.
You, your loving me give me eyes to see.
Rain, cool me down I'm feverish oh, and i'm to blame, Rain, calling me from London Skies, Bring me home again.
And you always let me go, Even when you knew I was gone for good In the wreckage of the hell I made, You were there, the fire storm and you.
You, your loving me give me eyes to see.
Rain, cool me down I'm feverish oh, and i'm to blame, Rain, calling me from London Skies, Bring me home again.
So I tell you that I love you, Though words are cheap And they cannot buy me time. When my shadow cuts my life in two, I can see, the best of me is you.
You, your loving me give me eyes to see. You, you'll never know how much you mean to me.
Rain, cool me down I'm feverish oh, and i'm to blame, Rain, calling me from London Skies, Bring me home again.
We alter and grow, Oh how we change, But some things stay immutable We alter and grow, Oh how we change, But some things stay immutable Like love.
You court the darkness like she's your lover A girl you nailed one time And can't get over Feverish and sleepless at night It's only because you cannot Tear your eyes away from her
If love is the answer you seek You're asking the kind of questions. The wrong kind of questions will keep You asking me, asking me for love And all the stars and satellites give you nothing. 'Cause all the satellites died.
And all the satellites in your atmosphere They burn for you but you're cold as mars. I know you see the light in the sky like I do But for you they're just dying stars
If love is the answer you seek You're asking the kind of questions. The wrong kind of questions will keep You asking me, asking me for love And all the stars & satellites give you nothing 'Cause all the satellites died.
I guess there's poetry in a dayless life And profit to be made from your pain I hope you call me up if you ever get old I would like to see your face again
If love is the answer you seek You're asking the kind of questions The wrong kind of questions will keep
You asking me, asking me for love You asking me, asking me for love You asking me, asking me for love
If love is the answer you seek You're asking the kind of questions
If love is the answer you seek You're asking the kind of questions…
Eyes as blue as the cheapest streets You build your hotels on. You take the pennies I'm betting with, Because cash is cash. I steal your whiskey and cigarettes, From behind the old television set It's still got a dial, When I get sick you smile.
Oh oh are you watching? Sometimes it's so hard to see Oh oh are you watching? Mary watch over me.
When I was bloodied and broken, From a deadbeat kind of love. You laughed as you held my hand, And said "go on and cry, But let that be the very last thing, That you give him darling Now let's go on in the house, And make a voodoo doll."
Oh oh are you watching? Sometimes it's so hard to see Oh oh are you watching? Mary watch over me.
Got a faded photograph A lion just like me I folded it in half I keep it with me.
Oh you didn't go quietly Into the great white shining light, You were hopped up on love, And singing Johnny Cash. You looked up and you yelled at me, You said "Bad is cheap and good is free, So don't pull any fast ones kid, 'Cause I'll be watching you."
Oh oh are you watching? Sometimes it's so hard to see Oh oh are you watching? Mary watch over me.
Indigo light as the day starts to fade Still enough light for me to stand in your shade. I have developed a good idea Of the words you love, Yeah, what you want to hear.
All alone with the wind whistling round your throne.
And I know it wears you down, So slowly You chased me all around Just to show me, That your head is hanging down From the weight of your own crown, You're a king without a queen.
Stop the thunder when you come around, And the white lighting that burn Me to the ground. You say you want me, But just not now. Should I be afraid, Maybe you'll show me how.
And I know it wears you down, So slowly You chased me all around Just to show me, That your head is hanging down From the weight of your own crown, You're a king without a queen. A king without a queen...
All alone with the wind whistling round your throne.
And I know it wears you down, So slowly You chased me all around Just to show me, That your head is hanging down From the weight of your own crown, You're a king without a queen
I could write the book of you And illustrate the pages You shouldn't read it I'm the one that you put down, It was written in a hurry, Slipped through your fingers.
I do everything I should Still got to learn, How to be good. You got two strong arms I see, Can't you bring them around Wrap them around me?
I lay my storms down at your feet Maybe you'll build a shelter, Maybe do my heart work for me. Oh, I kick and scream, But the job is mine, So I'll stay by the ocean You got your own hills to climb.
I do everything I should Still got to learn, How to be good. You got two strong arms I see, Can't you bring them around Wrap them around me?
And I know that I am full of holes Still they let me, see on through to the other side. And the southern cross has got you in her sights.
I do everything I should Still got to learn, How to be good. You got two strong arms I see, Can't you bring them around Wrap them around me?
Gotta wrap 'em around Gotta wrap 'em around Gotta wrap 'em around me...
I do everything I should Still got to learn, How to be good. You got two strong arms I see, Can't you bring them around Wrap them around me
Sure do song a pretty song darlin' Pretty music, lord, and pretty words Like a lark and sweeter than a starling But mostly like a mockingbird.
Words that leave your mouth all turn to ashes. They flutter to the ground like falling snow, They make a bed that's soft enough to lie in And your foot steps make no sound as you go.
Mockingbird, you just sound like what you said you were Mockingbird, you were the sweetest thing, I ever heard.
The colour of desire is a wretched blue, It burns just like the centre of a flame. It pulls the loosest thread inside your mind. It burns everything But it calls you out by name.
Mockingbird, you just sound like what you said you were Mockingbird, you were the sweetest thing, I ever heard.
The devil stole the wings from a poor angel They grew into the skin upon his back Now half of his heart for me it beats And the other half just repeats The things I'm feeling for my mockingbird.
Oh my my my my, My mockingbird.
Mockingbird, you just sound like what you said you were Mockingbird, you were the sweetest thing, I ever heard.
The late light of the desert made The mountains a silhouette As curved as a woman's side As far off as I feel inside This gravity that used to feel like fear Pulls me to a new conclusion The light of you is the weight that keeps me here
I wake up with my soul on fire I'm swimming in my heart's desire not Drowning in somebody's wake, not Smiling for somebody's sake Why don't you just stay here in the sun Beats me why you disappear honey Ain't I your beloved one
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
I see you blue eyed old and grey still Up all night 'til break of day. You dance me across the kitchen floor, You still got one eye on the door. How you love me with, Them halfway eyes. And when I think there's nothing left I think of love and all the time it buys.
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
The late light of the desert made The mountains a silhouette As curved as a woman's side, As far off as I feel inside. The battle was hard fought but nobody won, I'll be your magnetic north baby, You be my beloved one.
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
