Ballroom No. 26
Now that I’ve got my own ballroom Now that all of my shoes have a shelf Now that the music’s without you I sit here and pity myself I painted the walls brighter than white Outside the fall has its own special light Though I’ve been longing for ages Just to sit as I do with my pen My drawings still lack motivation And I pity myself once again I still miss the sound of you playing chords Now that it’s quiet at least I hear my ownthoughts I need a lampshadeTake the brightness away I need a lampshadeTake the brightness away You know at the end of the dayIt’s just me and my ballroom |

My Residence
I’m out of typing paper For months I didn’t wash my clothes When I lie in my king-size bed I keep seeing the laundry grow I don’t enter the kitchen A vague memory keeps me away My piano grows dustlike every other surface There’s nothing much to say - except I’m stuck in this sad lonesome body And this feeling just won’t go away And this placethat I once called my residence Surely falls into decay I’ve been trying to turn off the TV But I can’t bear the silence I hear I bury myself in other people’s lives And it’s not so healthy I fear The phone has stopped ringing And I wonder if it has been shut down Most likely my friends have forgotten me Or despise this self-pitying clown I’m stuck in this sad lonesome bodyI’m watching myself fade away And this placethat I once called my residence Surely falls into decay |

The Oak Tree
I saw in Louisiana a live oak growing All alone the moss hung down from the branches With no companionthis live oak was growing In a wide flat space Its look: rude, unbending, lusty Made me think of myself But how can this oak grow green leaves No friend no love Joyously uttering leaves I know very well I could not I broke off a twig with a number of leaves And brought it away,placed it in sight in my room It makes me think of manly love But how can this oak grow green leaves No friend no love Joyously uttering leaves I know very well I could not |

Before The Storm
First of all you should know I don’t plan to go The sky’s turning grey Tuning in on us today Please take the blindfold from my eyes Reveal to me what you’re trying to hide Before the storm will take all we have out in the open air Before the storm will take all we haveand spread it everywhere You should knowThrough it all I’m yours Our feet find no ground You take a desperate look around We never wanted this day to come But don’t you see We need to stay with this one And so the breeze has turned to storm The picture’s falling The first window torn out Before the storm… We holdeach other and a tree The supper plates are passing me You hold my hand and now I see we spit out all the black memories we are free |

An Interlude
Is this an interlude I am so confused But it’s a crying truth You’re at an altitude That I just cannot reach Though I’d die for you And your love Yet you don’t know what to do with my love All your attitude Still you’re so confused Why you just abused My trust in you You don’t see me Though I’d die for you And the love But you don’t know what to do with our love It’s not an interlude That’s the crying truth This new attitude Sticks with you like glue And I dare not reach Though I’d die for you And the love But you don’t know what to do with your love |

When’s the last time that you’ve been At a crossroad in the desert? Left alone to choose between Sand and sand, rainstorm or blizzard Yet there’s always More than one direction to choose from And the choice of whether to go on ‘cause everyday is a possible turning point Were you there all by yourself No one leaning on the signpost Nobody to ask for help Or showing you the right road ‘Cause there’s always More than one direction to choose from And a choice is something to go on Everyday is a possible turning point |

Only Time Will Tell
See the cherry blossom blooming Me, myself and I in this room singing Even a mighty tree fell Only time will tell See the cherry blossom blooming Me, myself and I in this room singing Even a mighty tree fell Only time will tellI’ve been watching wind chimes turning around Outside my window See them move but I can’t hear a sound From outside my window I love you all-consumingly I don’t know what is you or me I wish I knew just how to be To make you love more easily Even a mighty tree fell Only time will tell |
