Annie, I hope things line up for you
All in a row, shiny and new You can't keep living in one small room When you never let anyone in You never let anyone in Annie, you think the whole world's been cruel All the stars took advantage of you Your mother was cold, your daddy'd no love So you stomped your feet til they noticed Stomped your feet til they put on the kid gloves Now they're walking on eggshells, they're walking on glass They sing you a lullaby each time you ask Someday you'll pick yourself up off your ass and go. Annie, you think the boys never played fair Tripping you up, sticking gum in your hair But wherever you run, it's yourself you face there And he might be gone when you need him He might be gone by the time you care Now he's walking on eggshells, he's walking on glass Sings you a lullaby each time you ask Someday you'll pick yourself up off your ass and go But Annie, I love you, that's always been clear It's the layers of history that won't let us hear The twisted compassion that's burning our ears The distance from there to here The distance from there to here 'Cause I'm walking on eggshells, I'm walking on glass We sing hallelujah each time that you pass End Someday you'll pick yourself up off your ass and go 'Cause you're gambling again and the stakes are too high Your ante is fear, and my bet is desire Took you far from the truth, and into the fire again But Annie, I hope things line up for you All in a row, shiny and new You can't keep living in one small room When you never let anyone in, you never let anyone in, never let anyone in |

I'm retravelling this lifeline that's so close to home
We are on our way to West Point Where your perfect, blond cousin will throw his hat up in the air And we will watch it fall And I'm still the girl that loved you When your eyes were open wide I'm still the girl that wandered on and I'm still the girl that lied 'Cause when I'd tell the truth, you would run and hide But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons and I start to drink I get lonely, get depressed, can't sleep well nights, can't get dressed I can't help myself You'll order beer and a sandwich, at the bar at the hotel And you'll want to tell me something Just like every other time And our hopes will rise, And we'll watch them fall You're still written in my days, all the pages coming back to me I will carry you along, singing discreetly Old raincoat, two lives, no boyfriend, no wife Don't want to die here and nobody know Don't want to die here and nobody know But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons and I start to drink I get lonely, get depressed, can't sleep well nights, can't get dressed I can't help myself Don't want to die here and nobody know Don't want to die here and nobody know Don't want to die here and nobody know Don't want to die...here. |

A princess was invited to an island-
A king's castle in the sea No one came to take her suitcase She waited in the garden outside The guests inside were dressed for the water But the princess remained outside alone And the king who had called her His precious flower Would not grant her a room of her own She was young and frightened By the glittering wealth, and she wondered If she'd be allowed to stay... But she slipped herself into the sea and Swimming, naked, all the crystal, Lovely, dancing waves were hers and Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am always" The king was angered by such indecency He sent his soldiers to pull her out Her foot met something sharp on the ocean floor But still she did not want to leave She saw the king, and she saw with him That the island was not her home She could not live her life Like the rest of his court- She needed a room of her own But she slipped herself into the sea and Swimming, naked, all the crystal, Lovely, dancing waves were hers and Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am... Always, always, always, I am Always, always, always, I am, always" The castle still stands there on the island, But the king and his court are alone And his beautiful, precious flower Has swum away to a room of her own She slipped herself into the sea and Swimming, naked, all the crystal, Lovely, dancing waves were hers and Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am... Always, always, always, I am Always, always, always, I am Always, always, always, I am Always, always, always, I am" |

All things being equal,
Her beauty was not her fault And it was not her only advantage Midst the feast and the novelty- The manliness of his charms... So was it really such a shock, So much history in a kiss, Besides, they both knew it was over What do they have to worry about, just privacy and pain And the damage they've done Is this all? Can I go now? Is this all? So when you sleep do not dream The dreams they weigh you down When you carry them along with you They will wrack your lovely body Report back to your soul All the sickening sweets of the afternoon As we lose the last of innocence Like some romantic notion Buried by the fashion of disdain You can make the world your apple But take a bite before it sours Or you can make the world your charm or your chain Is this all? Can I go now? Is this all? |

I'd settle for less but I'd hold you accountable
Knock on your door but I wouldn't take "no" for a ride A month in the country, a day by your side, Two years in the forest, I can't see the trees if you hide And if I forgot, could you make me remember The piece of myself that I left winding by It's on the top current of love's final breeze There at the still point, That's where I'll be We would find hindsight at the edge of the world Love at the end of indifference We'd be the lovers that time could forget, Distance would forge us, make us stronger in the end And if you forgot, could I make you remember The piece of yourself that you gave long ago It's on the top current of love's final breeze There at the still point, That's where I'll be At the still point, at the still point At the still point of desire At the still point, the still point At the still point of desire At the still point, at the still point At the still point of desire We'd be forever, a month in the country, A day by your side, two years in the forest A decade of hopeful, a terrible leap, When it all comes out in the wash I will love you I will love you At the still point, at the still point At the still point of desire At the still point, the still point At the still point of desire At the still point, at the still point At the still point of desire At the still point, at the still point At the still point of desire... |

If I knew what I was after, I'd remember where I'd been
If I was sure of something better, I'd go, I'd go But I am just another picture, and I watch myself like you I imagine what you're thinking, I know, I know Ten cent wings, I'll take two Pin them to my sweater and I'll sail above the blue Ten cent wings tried and true Orbiting like satellites I'll sail away with you I will love across the borders, I will wait until it's dark I will fly and you'll be with me, my wings, your heart Then our memory may fail us, and our language will go too But the shooting stars will catch our Celestial view Ten cent wings, I'll take two Pin them to my sweater and I'll sail above the blue Ten cent wings, tried and true Orbiting like satellites I'll sail away with you But I'll never tell, I'll never say, I'll never be that brave Ten cent wings, I'll take two Pin them to my sweater and I'll sail above the blue Ten cent wings tried and true In another life you are with me, and I'm with you Ten cent wings, I'll take two Pin them to my sweater and I'll sail above the blue Ten cent wings, tried and true In another life you are with me and I'm with you |

if i gave you the sky
if i laid down my life would you believe me then? if i promised to change if i carried the blame would you believe me then? could you see it like me and believe what i see could you listen, and remember that i love you only, because i told you, because i told you so. if you told me you lied but i stayed true and tried would you believe me then? and if your beauty was gone but my love lingered on would you believe me then? could you see it like me and believe what i see could you listen and remember that i love you only, because i told you, because i told you so. you take the wheel for now i'm too tired to drive this one home anyhow, for now and when you mention my name let this one thing remain, my love, believe me now. |

It's as if we're tracing some familiar faultline
Running down the coast from you to me Dark potential just beneath the surface, All the worlds colliding in the tragedy Blood from a stone, wine from water I'd die here alone, only daughter Blood from a stone, wine from water I'd die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter Silence has become our only currency You pay me and I'll be sure to pay you back But step lightly 'til you've crossed the jagged border 'Cause the earth may shift beneath you, pull the rug out, All your history keeping track Blood from a stone, wine from water I'd die here alone, only daughter Blood from a stone, wine from water I'd die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter I'll reel in my addictions in the face of your distress Aches and pains all shelved and put aside I'll jump to my conclusions, but I'll leap to your defense And I'll wish I were the brave one as I breathe another lie 'Cause it runs in the family, it's coursing through our veins It lingers and gets caught in our hearts Running in the family, it's a little like insane The trimmings and the trappings of the artist and the art Blood from a stone, wine from water I'd die here alone, only daughter Blood from a stone, wine from water I'd die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter -- |

You know the tricks of the trade
You can hit the soft spots at the center Dish it out and take it back Riding on the wave of your pompous ways But I know that sooner or later You'll have to wring your lovely hands in dismay You'll go back to the board room Add the numbers up and turn the page at the end of the day Where were you at the bleakest of moments? Where were you at the hint of success? When through the window of opportunity came The glimmer of a day in the sun Glimmer of a day in the sun You took the canvas of a life Torn with the wind and the loss could still pull you along Pocketing images one by one Of the past, toward your future, "A penny for your song" Position memories carefully You dust them off at holidays Then you'll go back to the board room And declare your passion for the new day But where were you at the bleakest of moments? Where were you at the hint of success? When through the window of opportunity came The glimmer of a day in the sun Glimmer of a day in the sun I don't think that it's me you've got in mind Looks like the blind still bluffing the blind Lead me on and lay me down 'Cause where were you? Where were you at the bleakest of moments? Where were you at the hint of success? When through the window of opportunity came The glimmer of a day in the sun Glimmer of a day in the sun ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By BROOKE, JONATHA Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group |

In the gloaming, oh my darling
When the lights are soft and low And the quiet shadows, falling, Softly come and softly go When the trees are sobbing faintly With a gentle unknown woe Will you think of me and love me, As you did once, long ago In the gloaming, oh my darling Think not bitterly of me Though I passed away in silence Left you lonely, set you free For my heart was tossed with longing What had been could never be It was best to leave you thus, dear, Best for you, and best for me In the gloaming, oh my darling When the lights are soft and low Will you think of me, and love me As you did once long ago |
