You
all the hours of the days had become pointed
like sharpened arrows flying out to sea
like the words we spoke as we sailed out into nothing
each of us in misery
once we'd seen the rain was falling
there was nothing left to do
then you… had the funniest smile
and you… only stayed for a while
and you… that's all I ever did ask of you
well the moon was full of blood and sank at midnight
and from her eyes it came unglued
she packed her bags and they filled again with the headlights
and engine sounds of my solitude
and a child became a woman
when her car slipped out of view
and you… kept on tracking me down
and you… broke my speed and my sound
and you… most beautiful rainbows over you
now that the dream you said was over
left this new mark on my skin
there's a million pictures falling
trying to send their signals in
past tree lines of paranoia
through the hills of self-abuse
to the driveway of temptation
where the gravel is always loose
and you… you’re still tracking me down
and you… you're still coming around
and you… no I never could count on you

Beyond Desire

Beyond Desire
beyond desire I sat and waited
I lied to you - I lied to myself
with this little fire I built then hated
the moment it was celebrated
beyond desire
beyond this signal fire
I got so afraid of what I made
I thought of you my friend and the price you paid
to see the end - and only then
realize you can't get back again
beyond desire
beyond your signal fire
when will I ever learn
a way to live that burns
and still feels free
to touch the ends of things
and still come back to make them sing
when will I ever learn to see
it's cold tonight but I'm alright
though there ain't no one here to hold me tight
the moon is high - my bottle is dry
I can see the beauty of it and tonight it’s enough
beyond desire
beyond this signal fire
beyond desire
beyond this no good liar
heaven must be there

Daddy’s Tune
things are different today
and it's harder to find
what I'm trying to say
when all I have on my mind
is this pain in my heart
that just won't go away
running through every day
ever since we're apart
I don't like to pretend
that I'm staying in touch
with little gifts that I send
when I just miss you so much
at the end of each night
on the telephone line
when you say you're alright
daddy cries every time
so don't let anyone say
daddy left you one day it's not true
he lost a year of your life
after losing his wife but not you
not you
going to get back my ground
I'm going to rise from these ruins
pray this new love is sound
and that I'll be there soon
and I'll know that I'm home
when I sing you this tune
if it's cold when I come
we'll go skating in the park every day
if it's summer what fun
staying in the water til it's too cold to play
every day
cause it's a terrible world
when a daddy can't be
with his dear little girl
he's a ship lost at sea

Grey Day In Spring

Grey Day In Spring
grey day in spring
isn’t that the way it goes down
the melting dirty snow is giving birth to a town
a sky that aches full of raining
grey day in spring
every silver window that I look through is blind
a perfect rearview mirror for the state of a mind
that suffocates just explaining
grey day in spring
April in Canada is a month-long April Fool’s
keeping yourself together is the second Golden Rule
don’t want the neighbours discerning
grey day in spring
I’m pressed against the time and the glass
tortured by the present - shattered by the past
feels like my whole world is burning
grey day in spring
how come I still feel her through the smoke of my life
and still send flowers to this counterfeit wife
in worship of my assassin
grey day in spring
you know I barely caught a glimpse of her soul
she hid her heart so perfectly in her need for control
while a ten year ice age went passing
grey day in spring
oh it looks just like the grey in her eyes
and the terrible shadow underneath her bright disguise
I’m the only allowed to see or stand in
grey day in spring
I gave her my life I didn’t know what it was worth
and it paid for a miserable marriage but it made for a beautiful birth
and a love beyond understanding
grey day in spring
I thought she was the answer to my prayers
and no matter how she hurts me I can’t help but truly care
and play it fair while she ignores me
grey day in spring
I thought that she had everything I need
turns out I was right she took my love and light and seed
and you’re the miracle that stands before me
grey day in spring
feels like I’m never going to climb over this wall
I know that some guys never see their kids at all
but mine won’t be abandoned
grey day in spring
gives me another chance to learn to forgive
another chance to move on it’s just so hard to live
when your child’s been stolen and your life is the ransom

Kiss The Sun
say goodbye to my family and my friends
say we’ll see them all again
on some permanent vacation
down the street
tell my brothers when you meet
I got a rap I couldn’t beat
and they won’t find me at the station
cause it came like a whistle from a train
that woke me up and called my name
not to leave them all behind
but to bring me home again
and I kiss the sun
I kiss the sun
and I feel no shame
and I feel no pain
no pain I can remember
I won’t cry for a life I’ve barely known
walked ten thousand miles from home
just to find that I was nowhere
so unknown
all the years I walked alone
like another rolling stone
they’re all finally leading somewhere
I belong to the melancholy songs
nights you held me til the dawn
and we wished that we could stay
will you miss me when I’m gone
and I kiss the sun
I kiss the sun
and I see my world
turning into gold
and I kiss you girl
cause you filled my soul
with a light I will remember

That's For Me
03:29

That’s For Me
there was so little left to make you want to stay
along the road of life you couldn’t find your way
after years of downward slides
thought you’d come here for a ride
lick your wounds a while and hide
your blues away
ain’t it funny that the opposite was true
things you hoped would prop you up came down on you
with so little left to trust
hometown life felt like a bust
turned the final crumbs to dust
what could you do
put in the time waiting for better things to start
watch for the signs and pray to mend your broken heart
ask for the strength to take a stand
put the faith back in the man
stop trying to understand the things that you can’t see
say that’s for me
what would you pay to change the story of your life
rewind the sad old song that cut you like a knife
get over things you don’t deserve
when life just threw you quite a curve
it takes a while to find the nerve
to start anew
maybe it’s time you dare to go back to your dreams
and care enough to fight for them and find the means
let go of all you can’t control
that made you want to leave your soul
and you will find the starring role
still waits for you
put in the time waiting for better things to start
watch for the signs and pray to mend your broken heart
ask for the strength to take a stand
put the faith back in the man
who’ll never understand until he lets things be
say that’s for me
that’s for me
yeah that’s for me
sometimes my life is going to be a tragedy
there must be something I should learn
I’ve been broken I’ve been burned
but that’s for me

Little Things
thank you for these fingers
thank you for these strings
the melody that lingers here
upon these little things
Lord I have been running from you
trying to do things my own way
if I'd only listen to you
how much more could I say
I can see your signal fires
lighting up that landing strip
I know you’d only let me come down
once I loosen my grip
I can't wait until my road gets straight
and I can leave these troubles behind
I can't wait I hope it's not too late
you know there's nothing I'd rather find
so thank you for these fingers
thank you for these strings
the melody that lingers here
upon these little things
how long have I been riding this way
desperate and fearful and blind
when will I ever learn how to stay
maybe that's not my kind
so Lord tonight when I lay down to sleep
let me know I did my best
Lord tonight I'm turning to you
to take care of the rest

Show Me How To Get There

Show Me How To Get There
I know it's out there
shining like a light
show me how to get there in this life
give me strength and give me vision
in my days and in my nights
show me how to get there in this life
things happened in the past
did I really let them go
show me how to let go in my time
said I’d forgive and I’d forget
how come I’m dreaming of it yet
show me how to let go in my time
what do I deserve
have I lost my nerve
tell me why I struggle and I strive
why so much to prove
I can barely move
what should I do now to feel alive
never felt quite good enough
how did that come to be
all the young child clearly wanted was your hand
but the judgement of the father
was as endless as the sea
drowned for a lifetime even when back on the sand
I could sit and watch the snow
fall down today but I'll go out
take a walk across the last days of this year
for tomorrow is the solstice
lots to be thankful about
and like the sun I want to let go of this fear
walk me to the sun
I don’t want to run
give me back the strength to start again
I just want to live
I just need to give
how long have I waited here my friend
is the weight I feel upon my back
as real as what's outside
fragile branches holding up the snow
they've lost their leaves and lost their time
and let go all their pride
show me how to hang on til I go

Stay At Home

Stay At Home
well I wash up when I wake up
get dressed up and put shoes on my feet
and I check out my reflection
I lock up and I hit the street
and I catch a train in the underground
and I join the silent herd
the faces all so serious
nobody says a word
well I'm right on time when I get to work
and I sit there for a while
and I feel like such a stupid jerk
but I do my best to smile
it's so tight around the collar
and I can't wait til it ends
all the things I do for dollars
and the price I pay my friend
but if I stayed at home I'd be all alone
I'd be fine if I stayed at home
if I stayed at home I'd be all alone
I'd be fine if I stayed at home
where nobody can touch me
nothing means very much to me at all
it's a funny way of living
and you know that it’s a shame
when you’re working just for money
how you lose your life again
in an endless cyclorama
til the pictures crack one day
and you’re found in your pyjamas
and they haul your kind away
but if I stayed at home I'd be all alone
I'd be fine if I stayed at home
if I stayed at home I'd be all alone
I'd be fine if I stayed at home
where nobody can touch me
nothing means very much to me at all

In My Time (To Live)
now it's just another moment
that'll seem to last forever
til I won't be feeling so alone
I don't know where the last few years went
running through a life
of days and nights spent dreaming
too far gone for scheming
of a way to get back home
the hardest time is in the evenings
when I don't really feel too much like singing
and all I really want is a place to hide
my friends say it'll take some time now
but with every passing day I feel like somehow
I'll drift my life away and let things slide
still got that pebble in my jacket pocket
the one that looks just like a heart-shaped locket
remember how I found it on the beach that day
you turned it in your hands while the words were spoken
as if it were a little bird whose wings were broken
sometimes I take it out and I hold it
and I dream it flies away
and though I know you never planned it
in so many ways it felt so underhanded
the way you left my life and closed the door
and now you say you want it open
you'll take me back again
your heart is full of hoping
that I can find my way back like before
to live and die
and never say goodbye
again
you know I called tonight to say I got your letter
I read it all and I'm so glad you're feeling better
that you're grateful for the money tho it's little that I send
does my baby know how much I miss her
and just how much her dad
would love to tuck her in tonight and kiss her
well you know that I'm so thankful
you're her mother and my friend
but with every bit of road I'm stealing
I'm just trying to find a way back to my feelings
cause I don't remember how and can't pretend
I hope you never feel this lonely
or know the pain of losing everything you only
found that really matters in the end
to live and die
and never say goodbye
again
and try
again
