What do you want from me, is it love Or would just a touch of comfort be enough To shift your gaze from the ancient, ugly scar Your restless eyes are always fixed upon Enough to soothe that old wound you won't let heal And for a moment maybe feel something new Are lovers' lies all you really want from me Or just maybe do you need something true What can I do to make you understand That this life don't always go the way you plan It's hard to help you if you never try To listen once to anyone's advice All the pacing only makes the river churn You're kicking up the mud and dirt in a cloud Now let the current carry it away And you'll see clear to your unchanging ground Your unchanging ground The seasons spin around Your unchanging ground What do you want from me, is it love Or would just a touch of comfort be enough

Don’t tell me you don’t feel it too Don’t tell me I’ve fallen too soon Into the love sick sea Drowning in dreams of you Don’t tell me you’re busy tonight Don’t tell me the time isn’t right I know you don’t know me yet We’ve only just met Oh but how can you know If you won’t give it a go with me God help me if you won’t be mine Cause it’s the last time I let anyone inside You can live forever so free Take it from me Somebody who’s tried and tried Don’t tell me your feelings aren’t true Don’t tell me you’ve fallen so soon Out of the clouds up above And straight out of love with me Don’t tell me that love’s out of date Don’t tell me romance is passé I can see through your lies You know well as I That beyond any doubt What else could life be about but love God help me if you won’t be mine Cause it’s the last time I let anyone inside You can’t live forever so free Take it from me Somebody who’s tried and tried Disappointment everywhere See it filling up the air There were so many times I could feel Yes and so many times it was real I love you, that won’t go away I want you, what more can I say But goodbye and goodbye Farewell

Well I got too sick to tell you goodbye When I woke up you were in Connecticut I was south of a sigh Someone tell me what went wrong I was doing so well The last thing that I recall A late drunken singalong Then it all went to hell Down on my luck Down in the dumps I’m downright down tonight My body was aching, my vision was blurred I opened my mouth to speak, but I couldn’t say a word The panic was rising, heartbeat doubled its time Throwing both my arms around, gesticulating up and down Like a broke, jonesin' mime Down on my luck Down in the dumps I’m downright down tonight And pulling the morphine drip out of my arm I cried is this some sick kind of joke Goin’ on six months of fasting, I ain’t even had me So much as just one single smoke Ah but how are they to know So I lay back down beneath an old patchwork quilt Given by her sisters of perpetual guilt And the bell in the church tower hasn’t sounded in years Still I’m woken from my troubled dreams With a dull and unending ring in my ears Down on my luck Down on the dumps I’m downright down tonight The only one I see now is this priest make his rounds And he crosses himself over me And while he prays for peace, I pray that I might speak So that I could ask how to believe Ah, but how is he to know? So I’m learning to talk all over again You were always saying I should go back to school Well look, here I am

Drowning in a wave of awe at the ocean’s roar Gentle, curling worlds of water rolling through my door Breathe In, Breathe Out, ah High tide rises up my walls, fills the corridor All my life I’ve fled from trouble, only to find more Breathe In, Breathe Out, As I sit, I let my limbs go limp And then dismiss the last of what we call “I” I’m tired of the fits of living, so why not try out dying If I could learn to love such an absurd world I just might wade right out that door But I can’t escape the feeling So I’ll float up to the ceiling Til’ I can’t breathe in anymore Lungs full, cause of death was water, claims the coroner Suicide’s out of the question, friends and kin confer Breathe in, Breathe out, ah Then tell me how, why, who’s to blame What’s the reason for All his life the cause of trouble Now he’s brought on more Breathe In, Breathe Out My brother sits with his eyebrows knit Immersed in some murderous mood But I’m powerless to sooth him He just combs the streets for clues and broods If I could make him see that it was only me And no one else who wished my life to be ending And I didn’t feel forsaken, just bored with all the fakin’ So I quit breathing and pretending
5.
Close your eyes my love, if you don’t wanna see me go Close your eyes my love, if you don’t wanna see me go Stay asleep my love, dreaming that isn’t so There was a time my love, I promised you we’d never part There was a time my love, I promised you we’d never part Well that time has passed faster than a fallen star I was bored, looking for something to do You were there with nobody to care for you, so you let me It was just fun I was thinking of You were thinking love long before you ever met me Cover your ears my dear, if you don’t wanna hear goodbye Cover your ears my dear, if you don’t wanna hear goodbye Go on and plug them up, sing your pretty lullabies La la la la la la la I was bored, looking for something to do You were there with nobody to care for you, so you let me It was just fun I was thinking of You were thinking love long before you ever met me If I don’t wake you dear, you’re gonna sleep the day away If I don’t wake you dear, you’re gonna sleep the day away I hear the rooster crow, babe I must be on my way I see the sun at last, shining on the Casco Bay I see the sun at last, shining on the Casco Bay The same one you see, setting over old Galway So go back to sleep, dreaming of a brighter day So go back to sleep, go back to sleep Go back to sleep, babe I must be on my way

Don’t Do This Thing I ought to opt outta the deal But how can I back down just now cause I feel The sting of conscious at dawn The warning of hell whisper all the night long Been out of work for so long My children are hungry, my wife three years gone Now every last penny is spent I’m forced to do wrong just to cover the rent And I dreamed last night of sweet Lorraine On our wedding day And she fixed her gaze on my tearstained faced And voiced her final plea, Honey, please don’t do this thing But if ever blood was justly spilled It’d belong to the man who I’m hired to kill A wicked life, crooked and bent Crippled in darkness and stumbling yet Bourbon bent, a quarter to four He broke down the door in the early morn Raving mad, God knows what for He struck down his wife and poor child to the floor And I dreamed last night of sweet Lorraine On our wedding day And she fixed her gaze on my tearstained faced And voiced her final plea Honey, please don’t do this thing Now the time has come, I must make a choice But which is the best for my two girls and boy This weight’s enough to tear me in two Sweet Jesus, please, tell me what I should do I pace these floors where my children have played I see three poor orphans and know I can’t stay But the image shifts to murdering thieves And I know just as well that I cannot leave And I dreamed last night of sweet Lorraine On our wedding day And she fixed her gaze on my tearstained face And begged me, baby please If you do this thing, you’ll be lost from me Never to be freed For you know too well what Heaven forbids Only fools can be redeemed Honey, please don’t do this thing Honey, please don’t do this thing Honey, please don’t do this thing Bind us anew, I to You, You to I Bind us anew, anew, anew, anew Bind us anew, I to You, You to I Bind us anew, anew, anew, anew Bind us anew, You to I, I to You Bind us anew, anew, anew, anew Bind us anew, You to I, I to You Bind us anew, anew, anew, anew Bind us anew, You to I, I to You Bind us anew, anew, anew, anew Bind us anew, You to I to You to I to You to I to You to I to You to I to You……….

Is love enough To drive two pasts into the night To draw two futures into sight Such things are dreamed up, but Is love enough Is love enough To take and make two wrong lives right To turn two shadows into light Such things are dreamed of, but Is love enough Is it enough to hold us near Is it enough to dry our every tear Is it enough to keep us from always wondering Wondering, wondering Is it enough to hold us near Is it enough to dry our every tear Is it enough to keep us from always wondering Wondering, wondering Is it enough To let two lovers start anew To put behind our former truths And all the lonely nights we’ve suffered through Such things are dreamed of, but Can it take us to the place where the two shall be as one, as one Is love enough

Don't go, be near me now, I need you close Don't be leaving me when I need you most Don't be leading me down that lonesome road With no hope of a home, no hand to hold It's not happening I just can't go on like that no more I've had enough Be near me now Sea oats swaying, the breathing of the waves There I found you in those fleeting summer days Then it grew colder and I in turn grew strong Growing older, my strength will soon be gone And it's not happening I just can't go on like that no more I've had enough Don't leave me now It's not enough Be near me now

Scrape away the static and buzzing Of choral sounds through microphones Strain to be what we never wasn't We're caught in a puzzle of our own Making, cause make it we did Deceived ourselves, well no wonder That it's a sin to lie But we never knew why And if only I'd known Before I set out to find A foreign home Whine, complain, acoustic are clattering Sound waves ever echoing Wince in pain, sopranos are flat again Quit your cringing, smile and sing La la la la la la la Waste away in the everyday mundane Small-talk-squaking topics, lame Flail and shout, but shelved you will stay For your pages are filled with exactly the same Sayings, quotes and cliches Imitations dictate the days And nights of our lives But we never knew why And I'd never had known Had I never arrived In a foreign home

Song of Cain 04:39
Once I was a slave to the seed and to the land In winter I obeyed the dormant sun's every command In summer skin was scaled, callous caged Once my body shook with disbelief to find The harvest of my youth the only offering denied By poison eyes of pride I was enraged Within my heart a bitter war was waged And once I held a gun to my brother's head For every move I made another poison tear was shed To feed the throb like thunder on the rise The pulsing fury merged with the current of desire It roared into the trigger click and the barrel blast of fire And broke into the silence of those eyes Spotless, sob-glazed, raised to the skies And then my brother's blood cried up from the ground Until all the wrath of God was awakened at the sound And down upon my feeble heart it fell He marked me with his word, I was branded like a beast Banished from my home and left to roam across the east Whose miseries no human tongue can tell A land of thirsty soil, an empty well Not even the Father's eye, not even enough to take me there Not even the Father's eye, not even enough to take me there Not even the Father's eye, not even enough to take me there Well you warned me of myself, you told me once before That the danger of my sin was waiting, pacing at the door That on my flaws the lawless demons smile Well I have no hopes for heaven and of hell I have no fears I see it every moment in the memory of those tears I killed him for my love, me unloved child A stranger cursed to wander through the wild

Dark, the only day I've known All dark, the only day I've ever wished to live to know You were on my mind You, the only light I wanted Oh I wished so desperately for you to be the one for me But now I know that nobody can ever raise the sun for me I go where I'm wanted I leave when I tire of game shows Don't ask anymore of me, no, no, no Don't ask anymore of me, no, no, no I've given all I have to give My race is nearly over And the light I've always longed for reaches for me Reaches for me Oh, reaches for me And it's alright Reach forward, reach backward for me Come and meet me where I am And raise the sun back from its sea grave Pull this wreckage from the rocks And once again direct my course Until we reach that further shore
