When I was young I mimicked my father
I followed his shadow in the street I would lie awake for hours Listening to Flow's (?) Creek I was hynotized by his deep voice And the way him and my mother would speak In quiet hushed voices In words I don't understand Talking well into the warm dark night Touching my head with their hands Now I'm older And I'm affected I'm not as genuine as I let on And I lie to her like it's nothing at all Some call it leading her on Well we talk late at night I tell her I might be in love I say anything to make her head swim To help me rise above These quiet hushed voices These words I don't understand Talking well into the warm dark night Holding my head in my hands They say guilt can penetrate The thickest walls I say it keeps me ? It'll get me through Another day It'll keep them From going Now I'm a shadow of my former self And I make my own way I can't seem to get my head To settle Or to keep my mind From straying And I remember back To days past I never had a clue Ever since I could think or speak All I knew Were these quiet hushed voices These words I don't understand Words I shout into the ? night Holding my head in my hand Well these quiet hushed voices These words I don't understand Words I shout into the ? night Holding my head in my hand Quiet hushed voices Quiet hushed voices Quiet hushed voices |

I walked through walls to be with you
In the early nighttime morning came so soon And on Thursday night New York glowed I was in your arms black water flowed And if you were told Would you ever know Do you see me tonight With the coins on my eyes Love's sweet surprise The light upon your face And all the lovers at war That roll down the line Love felt so fine The light upon your face And while we lie he is alone Wide eyed lonely and dreaming of home There is nothing more that I can say I Just close my eyes let you carry me away And if you were told Would you ever know Do you see me tonight With the coins on my eyes Love's sweet surprise The light upon your face And all the lovers at war That roll down the line Love felt so fine The light upon your face Love is always looking for an open grave To lay down unfold its arms and die Do you see me tonight With the coins on my eyes Love's sweet surprise The light upon your face And all the lovers at war That roll down the line Love felt so fine The light upon your face Laura has the brightest eyes Laura has the brightest eyes |

Late in the summer children run without clothes
Chill of the winter not far down the road And in the windows are silhouettes of husbands and wives Watching in silence till the evening arrives And there all around insects scream in the trees The promise of rain can be heard on the breeze Oh Lord,Oh lord we break so easy Oh Lord,Oh lord we shatter like glass The headlights glow and the sky will soon be black The freeway riders are rolling, heading back Heading back home A dark haired woman is driving the roads Breathing deeply she don't mind being alone I spend my nights in the reservoir Saying prayers for the passing cars |
