I Say These Words
03:31
|
|||
Actions speak louder than words
but nothing beats louder than my heart.
Couldn't possibly touch, that would feel like betrayal
Not that I'm against betrayal but I find it hard to manage.
And I say these words x4
Couldn't possibly kiss you, your lips would burn my mouth
I've been burned before and the pain is hard to bear.
And I say these words x4
As I kiss you
As I touch you
Couldn't possibly hold you, it's like holding onto a dream
I've had dreams before and they always slip away.
And I say these words x4
As I hold you
As I kiss you
As I touch you
Couldn't possibly love you, love is strictly out of bounds
And if I stray to far, I may be lost forever.
And I say these words x4
As I love you
As I hold you
As I kiss you
As I touch you
Maybe it's indiscrete
Maybe it's indefensible
Maybe I'm in too deep
Maybe I'm in denial
Actions speak louder than words
but nothing speaks louder than my heart.

Is That The Sun?
03:42
|

On a clear autumn day
Took a train out of town
To the old Spanish gardens
And as we wandered around
We saw a white disc, shining in the sky
And she said, Is that the sun or the moon?
There’s an old dried up fountain
Covered over with leaves
And an archway of ivy
And high over the trees
We saw a white disc, shining in the sky
And she said, Is that the sun or the moon?
Sat a while by the river
Where the green willows grow
Weeping into the water
And when we looked down below
We saw a reflection from up in the sky
And she said,
Is that the sun
Is that the sun
Is that the sun or the moon?

Gina

I go to your house, you hold me.
I'm in there on my own, you clean me.
I watch your working hands, you hold me.
You tell me my story, you know me.
You say, "Rest your shoulder in me"
"I can't help it", I reply.
You touch my neck, you hold me.
You take the greatest care, you value me.
I let you look me over, you hold me.
From my ribs to my belly, you cover me.
You say, "Rest your shoulder in me"
"I can't help it", I reply.
Gina, you're not who I thought you would be.
I came from out the wood, you wanted me.
I go back to the wood, I needed you.
You go back over the bridge.
I leave with all my damage.
Gina, you're not who I thought you would be.
Gina, you're not who I thought you would be.

Stage 2

I am the swimming boy, washed in warm water
Deep in the ocean, holding my breath.
I am the stretching turtle, emerging from the shell
Shuffling along the sand at the waters' edge.
Chorus:
Go straight down, sit up and straddle.
Go straight down, turn to the right.
Go straight down, three deep breaths.
Go straight down, sit up on the side.
I am the rolling wave, flowing and breaking
Breaking above my shoulders, rising above myself.
I am the swaying horseman, riding this rocking horse.
Swaying above the body, reaching for breath.
[Chorus]
I am the tortured elm raking the tortured sky
Spreading my tortured arms above my head.
I am the ageing crone, squinting through slitted eyes.
I am the hunch-back's shoulders huddled up inside myself.
[Chorus]
I am the fallen angel, arms outstretched,
Breathing the breath of Jesus, spread-eagled on the ledge.
I am this heaving motion, I am this turning Earth.
I am this breathing body, I am the breath.
[Chorus]

Follow You Down
06:00
|
|||
On a dark night by the river, you stepped out of thin air
And your lips were red and burning, and your hips were everywhere
You know I didn't want to hear them, the words you whispered in my ear
They thrilled me to the marrow and they filled my heart with fear
I'm gonna follow you down, I'm gonna follow you down
Anywhere you wanna take me, I'm gonna follow you down
You know I never met a woman, like you before
Who could raise me to the rafters, who could nail me to the floor
You give me everything I ask for, you give me everything I crave
You let me think that I’m the master, and then you show me I’m the slave
I'm gonna follow you down…
I'm gonna follow you down, I'm gonna follow you down
Oh you know that you can make me, I'm gonna follow you down
Some of the places that you take, they shouldn't be allowed
Even though I am not precious, even though I am not proud
They go against the scripture, they go against the grain
But you cut such a pretty picture, I wanna go back there again
I'm gonna follow you down…
You know you’re far too hot to handle, you know your far too much to bare
You really love to make me tremble, You really love to make me scared
And when I’m crying in the corner, that only seems to make you worse
I never thought you were an angel, but now I think you are a curse
I'm gonna follow you down…
One night when you are sleeping, I’ll tie your ankles and your wrists
And I’ll drag you to the river, where we first kissed
I’m gonna throw you in the water. I’m gonna stand and watch you drown
And when you’re lying on the bottom, I’m gonna follow you down
I'm gonna follow you down…
