So Sorry
I'm sorry, two words
I always think after you're gone
When I realize I was acting all wrong
So selfish, two words that could describe
Old actions of mine when patience is in short supply

We don't need to say goodbye
We don't need to fight and cry
Oh we, we could hold each other tight
Tonight

We're so helpless
We're slaves to our own forces
We're afraid of our emotions
No one, knows where the shore is
We're divided by the ocean
And the only thing I know is
The answer it isn't for us
No the answer isn't for us

I'm sorry, two words
I always think after, oh you're gone
When I realize I was acting all wrong

We don't need to say goodbye
We don't need to fight and cry
No we, we could, we could hold each other tight
Tonight...
Tonight...
Tonight...
Tonight...

I Feel It All
I feel it all, I feel it all
I feel it all, I feel it all
The wings are wide, the wings are wide
Wild card inside, wild card inside

Oh I’ll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one to hold the gun

I know more than I knew before
I know more than I knew before
I didn't rest, I didn't stop
Did we fight or did we talk

Oh I’ll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one to hold the gun

I love you more
I love you more
I don't know what I knew before
But now I know I want to win the war

No one likes to take a test
Sometimes we know more is less
Put your weight against the door
Kick-drum on the basement floor
Stranded in a fog of words
Loved him like a winter bird
On my head the water pours
Gulf-stream through that open door
Fly away
Fly away to what you want to make

I feel it all
I feel it all
The wings are wide
Wild card inside, wild card inside

Oh I’ll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll end it, though you started it
The truth lies
(nothing we can do)
The truth lied
(and now I wanna know the truth)
But lies divide
The lies divide


My Moon, My Man
My moon, my man's a changeable land
Such a loveable land to me
My care, my co-lead barber I know
There's nowhere to go but on

How honestly my beggar should be
The song's out of key again
My fools, my things
We're digging the things
If the candlelit page again

Take it slow
Take it easy on me
Shed some light
Shed some light on things
Take it slow
Take it easy on me
Shed some light
Shed some light on things

My moon and me
Not skirty swift bean
It's the dirtiest clean I know
My care, my co-lead barber I know
There's nowhere to go
There's nowhere to go

Take it slow
Take it easy on me
Shed some light
Shed some light on things
Take it slow
Take it easy on me
Shed some light
Shed some light on it please

My moon
The moon my man
My moon
The moon my man...

The Park
Why would he come back through the park
You thought that you saw him, but no you did not
It's not him coming across the sea to surprise you
Not him who would know where in London to find you

Sadness so real that it populates
The city and leaves you homeless again
Steam from a cup and snow on the path
The seasons have changed from the present to past

The past...
There's hope to have
In the past...

Why would he come back through the park
You thought that you saw him, but no you did not
Who can be sure of anything through
The distance that keeps you from knowing truth

Why would he think, the boy could become
The man who could make you sure he was the one
The one...
My one...
My one...


The Water
The telegraph cables hum
The few can decipher who the message is from
And deliver it quietly
'Cause some don’t get much company

The harbour becomes the sea
And lighting the house keeps it collision free
Understand the lay of the land
Don’t let it hurt you
Or it will be the first to

The water
The water didn't realize
It's dangerous size
The mountain
The mountain came to recognize
It's deep and rocky sides
More than realized

Pale as a pile of bones
You long for your babies and this is how they grow
Wind-battered, knocked over
The teeth by the shoulder
Watching the gray sky
That’s acting like a good guy

The water
The water came to realize
It's dangerous size
The mountain
The mountain
Came to recognize
It's deep and rocky sides
Came to recognize
It's deep and rocky sides
More than realized

Sea-lion Woman
Sea Lion woman
She drinks coffee
She drinks tea
And we're so cold

Sea Lion woman
She drinks coffee
She drinks tea
And we're so cold

Sea Lion woman
Dressed in red
Smile at the man when you wake up in his bed

Sea Lion woman
Dressed in black
We got the man then stab him in his back

Sea Lion woman
She drinks coffee
She drinks tea
And we're so cold

Sea Lion woman
Dressed in white
Marry the man and then spend a long, sweet night

Sea Lion woman
Dressed in green
Silver lining and golden seams

Sea Lion woman
Dressed in blue
Call a man
And he knows what he can do

Sea Lion woman
She drinks coffee
She drinks tea
And we're so cold

Sea Lion woman
She drinks coffee
She drinks tea
And we're so cold

Sea Lion woman
Dressed in blue
Call on the man
And he knows what he can do

Sea Lion woman
Dressed in red
Smile at the man when you wake up in his bed

Sea Lion woman
Sea Lion woman
Sea Lion woman
Sea Lion woman
Sea Lion woman
Sea Lion woman
Sea Lion woman
Sea Lion, Sea Lion, Sea Lion
Sea Lion woman


Past in Present
The scarlet letter isn't black
Gotta know who's got your back
Because they're right in front of you
Because they're telling you the truth

There's so much present inside my present
Inside my present and
So, so much past inside my present
Inside my present inside my present
So, so...

Feeling it from dark to bright
When a wrong becomes a right
When a mountain fills with light
It's a volcano, it's a volcano
It's a volcano, it's a volcano

I have so much present inside my present
Inside my present and so
So much past inside my present
Inside my present inside my present
And so,
So much past inside my present
Inside my present
Inside my present
And so,
So much past inside my present
Inside my present
Inside my present


Limit To Your Love
Clouds part just to give us a lesson

There's a limit to your love
Like a waterfall in slow motion
Like a map with no ocean
There's a limit to your love
Your love, your love, your love

There's a limit to your care
So carelessly there
You that drove them down
It's a limit to your care

I love, I love, I love
This drink on my stream
I love, I love, I love
The trouble that you give me
I know i know i know
That only I can save me
I'll go i'll go i'll go
Lie down alone

There's a limit to your love
Like a waterfall in slow motion
Like a map with no ocean
There's a limit to your love
Your love, your love, your love

You can't really smile
It should be written on your face
I'm piecing it together
There's something out of place

I love, I love, I love
This drink on my stream
I love, I love, I love
The trouble that you give me
I know, I know, I know
That only I can save me
I'll go i'll go i'll go
Out of love

Because there is no limit
There's no limit no limit no limit, to my love.


1 2 3 4
One Two Three Four
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless, long nights
That was what my youth was for

Oh teenage hopes are lying at your door
Left you with nothing
But they want some more

Oh, oh, oh
You're changing your heart
Oh, oh, oh
You know who you are

Sweetheart, bitter heart
Now I can't tell you apart
Cosy and cold
Put the horse before the cart

Four teenage boys
Who have tears in their eyes
Too scared to own up
To one little lie

Oh, oh, oh
You're changing your heart
Oh, oh, oh
You know who you are

One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, and ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, and ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then

Oh, oh, oh
You're changing your heart
Oh, oh, oh
You know who you are
Oh, oh, oh
You're changing your heart
Oh, oh, oh
You know who you are

Brandy Alexander
Though I'd like to be the girl for him
And cross the sea and land for him,
On milky skin my tongue is sand until
The ever distant band begins to play

He's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
Brandy Alexander
He's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
Brandy Alexander

Though I know what I love most of him
I'm walking on needles and pins
My addiction to the worst of him
He's the one that makes me sing

I'm his Brandy Alexander
Always get him into trouble
I hide that I am flattered
Brandy Alexander
I'm his Brandy Alexander
Always get him into trouble
I hide that I am flattered
Brandy Alexander

It goes down easy, easy
It goes down easy, easy
It goes down easy, easy...

Brandy Alexander...

Intuition
What gives what helps the intuition?
I know I’ll know
I won’t have to be shown
The way home
And it’s not about a boy
Although although

They can lead you
Break or defeat you

A destination known
Only by the one
Whose fate is overgrown
Piecemeal can break your home in half
A love is not complete with only heat

And they can tease you
Break or complete you

And it came a heat wave
A merciful save
You choose you chose
Poetry over prose
A map is more unreal than where you’ve been
Or how you feel
A map is more unreal than where you’ve been
Or how you feel
And it’s impossible to tell
How important someone was
And what you might have missed out on
And how he might have changed it all
And how you might have changed it all for him
And how he might have changed it all
And how you might have changed it all for him

Did I, did I
Did I, did I
Did I, did I
Did I, did I
Did I did I miss out on you?

Honey Honey
Honey honey, up in the trees
Fill the flowers deep in his dreams
Eat them out to sea by the east
Honey honey, food for the bees

Honey honey, out on the sea
In the Doldrums thinking of me
Me I'm driving thinking of he
Honey honey, not next to me

Even if he wanted to
Even if he wanted to
Even if he wanted to
Do you think he'll come back
Would he come back

Honey honey out on the sea
In the Doldrums waiting for me
Me in my boat searching for he
Honey honey, food for the bees

How My Heart Behaves
What grew
What grew
What grew and inside who
First so simple was the vow
Then the chorus sang about
Your shoulder
The mooring for me
Like water lost in the sea

The cold heart will burst
If mistrusted first
And a calm heart will break
When given a shake

I’m a stem now
Pushing the drought aside
Opening up
Fanning my yellow eye
On the ferry
That’s making the waves wave
Illumination
This is how my heart behaves

The cold heart will burst
If mistrusted first
And a calm heart will break when given a shake

(How her heart behaves)
The rain rain making me cry
(How her heart behaves)
Then the wind comes
Fanning my yellow eye
(How her heart behaves)
The waves wave the waves wave
This is how my heart behaves

A cold heart will burst
If mistrusted first
And a calm heart will break
When given a shake
The cold heart will burst
If mistrusted first
And a calm heart will break
When given a shake

What grew
What grew
What grew and inside who
