A Light Has Gone Out

Tomorrow is a new day and you’ll find me
Sat beneath the lilac tree
On the spinning Earth in peaceful repose
Around nine, colours of spring time washed in dusk grey
Fade out with the passing light, ’til they’re out of sight
And I’m left alone there, so where, do I go
So look at me now the fight has gone out
Somewhere in my soul, a light has gone out for good
There were times life just passed by, without warning
The walls could crash around me then and
The noises would just fade out of thought
And I’d go to where you stood, ask the ground to,
Open up beneath you there, ’cause that would seem fair
But now it’s all gone, forgotten, where to now
So look at me now the fight has gone out
Somewhere in my soul, a light has gone out for good
And there in the spring time, I wait to be reborn again
And I try to forget, for I know I must forget
But sometimes I fail
And I wait for something, and I wait for anything to grow
Tomorrow is a new day and you’ll find me
Sat beneath the lilac tree in peaceful respose there
So where do I go
But look at me now the fight has gone out
Somewhere in my soul, a light has gone out for good
And there in the spring time, I wait to be reborn again

Let's Get Lost Again
03:23
|
|

|
A thousand days of seconds counted
Hours passed and weeks discarded
Waiting for, just waiting for an answer
Talking hours out of existence
Laughing out our own resistance
To the far off people up on high
So let’s get lost again, darling
Let’s get lost again
Let us hope that this time it never ends
Chaos ruled and order vanished
Thoughts were not thought, words were not said
But glacial movement still is going somewhere
But it defied my hazy vision
I had no thoughts of my position
It’s only now that you have gone I see
So let’s get lost again, darling
Let’s get lost again
Let us hope that this time it never ends
So let’s get lost again, darling
Let’s get lost again
Let us wander aimlessly to the end
Think the unthinkable, and just let yourself go
Thing the unthinkable; just let yourself
And when at last you’ve found your freedom
It’s only then I saw that you’d been
Looking forward, always forward, looking forward, always forward
Looking for a way out of here
So let’s get lost again, darling
Let’s get lost again
Let us hope that this time it never ends
So let’s get lost again, darling
Let’s get lost again
Let us wander aimlessly to the end

Don't Think I Don't Care

So near and yet so far,
We’re not as close as we have been
Your world falls around you,
And I watch it on the screen
But don’t think I don’t care
Sailing inside a bathtub darling,
On a cruel sea
Harpoons fly around you,
And I’m nowhere to be seen
So please forgive me,
If I turn away,
I can’t face it
But don’t think I don’t care
Such few words, just a simple phrase
To help to share the pain
I don’t understand, why I can’t say them
But I feel it deeply nevertheless
So near and yet so far
We’re not as close as we have been
Would you even thank me,
For stepping in your misery
But don’t think I don’t care
Don’t think I don’t care
Don’t think I don’t care

Sailing For Hobart
03:39
|
|
||
|
Fell out of bed, and looked around
And felt the grey skies on my head
As the rain washed down the blackened street
It seeps on through, into my soul
The grip of cold is all I know
I just cannot stand it anymore
So I’ll go, far from here to show
The grass can be greener
Greener than grey for sure
So I’m sailing for Hobart and I’ll leave this all behind
And I won’t look back, ‘cause there’s nothing there that’s mine
Can’t think of reason why I’d want to stay here
Walk by your door, along the road
Won’t be knocking on that anymore
I have lost and I’ll be bowing out
The flame of hope and all I know
Will be extinguished by the winds that blow
My ship out of the harbour mouth
Such regrets, I’ll toss them overboard
Can’t think of something,
Something they are good for
CHORUS
Venus shines out through the overcast skies
Down under and here
Maybe there is a reason why

To The Top Of The Tower

To the top of the tower, and all the freaks are coming too
With ersatz rebellion, pressed and polished for a week or two
I could laugh 'cause I know it's true
They will look and not see you
To the top of the tower, there's nothing else that I could do
A fantastic prospect, a giant vista there for me to view
I could cry 'cause I know it's true
I see so far, but can't see you
With dishes, antennae, do you ever wonder why that,
The people are not picking up on you this time?
What goes up must come down, but I'm sinking underground
And my bleeding hands scratch for the surface
What's the point of it? What's the point of it? What's the point of it?
I'll stay on the ground
