Oh I was poor as a boy,. Only had one thing to my name.. But I worked so hard. On my old guitar,. I know each note sounded the same.. Yea I did what I said,.
Spend a life time waitin' for a phone to ring,. But it all comes down to just the same old thing.. So you sit right down until you get that call,. But your head keeps knocking off the same old wall..
Maybe I'm wrong, living high and chancing,. I feel an ice cold look in your eye cut me down with glances.. We both said "No", but we can't let go, and I'm feeling like we tried to hide..
You say, you're gonna phone. I spend the whole day, waiting at home. It's just the same old fools game. . Sold on trying once more. But I'm still cold from something before.
When I need to feel you near me. I stand in this quiet place. Where the silver light of countless stars. Falling on my face. Though they all shine so brightly.
Two island swans. They mated for life. And his faithful heart. Would not consider any other wife. . With three years of peaceful joy. With the rushes of the pond.
How old was i, 5 or 6 or so. The innocent years, long ago. Father on a chair reaching up so far. Crowning the tree, with that old tin star. And it shines so pretty diamonds in the sun.
Oh rowan tree, oh rowan tree. Thou'lt aya be dear to thee. Entwined thou art wi' many ties. O'hame and infancy. Thy leaves were aye the first of spring.
O little town of Bethlehem. How still we see thee lie?. Above thy deep and dreamless sleep. The silent stars go by. . Yet in thy dark streets shineth.
O holy night. The stars are brightly shining. It is the night. Of the dear saviour's birth. Long lay the world. In sin and error pining. 'til he appeared.
I'm putting you. I'm putting you out of my mind. I'm putting you. I'm putting you right out of my mind. I'm so tired of running after you. One-and-one-half steps behind.
Burn burn, burn burn. Burn burn burn. . Open up, now open up. . You lied, you faked, you cheated, you changed the stakes. Magnet toss that pie in the sky, unrehearsed, let the bubbles burst.
Tonight the rain is falling I'm feeling cold. And I'm out of mind without you. My head is spinning like a top. Back to the time we had a lot. Going on..
It had been necessary. Minora circuits by the bone, books. Get up, please, i fuck you. A sceneful dark grey room. Let there be any time. systems for guys.
Chorus:. How long how long will I slide. Separate my side I don't. I don't believe it's bad. Slit my throat. It's all I ever. . I heard your voice through a photograph.
Now that the day is come. I see myself as everyone. I am whats all around me. No Nothing, it just cannot be. Feelings come from the sun. Like most everything and everyone.
"Omission". . Omit myself. (take myself from your eyes). Omit myself as a favour for god. (all my rights are evryones enemy). Suffer fate 'cause it's the only lift you've got.
Omit myself. (Take myself from your eyes). Omit myself as a flavour for God. (All my rights are everyone's enemy). Suffer fate 'cause it's the only lift you've got.
In this light I'm lost. In the darkness of before. I walked and knew where I was all the time. Seeing with every part of who I am. . Anyway, you're a ghost in life.
