In the fields where we laid our heads
Dog barking to the heat of the beating sun Hot ground, sweet ground a feeling of fever in the air Kissing the nape of your neck, sighing colors Breaking sticks into heartsick flaming words In the fields making love The luck of the Irish tucked between your toes Love's debt pays regret, in months I begin to show Dressing as a car drives by gasping buzzards Turning time into a lover's rhyme Pressed between the pages of my heart In the fields where are you? Are you hiding yourself there still? Oh in the fields where are you? Are you hiding yourself in a city of weeds? Are you hiding yourself in a city of glass? In a city of glass In the fields tripping on Pushing through the barbs to reach the greener side It was years ago we let each other go To follow the paths of our dreams Sometimes I carry the memory, full time Delivering the spitting image of you Eyes burn and I live at peace I did what I had to do and you, and you, and you Oh in the fields where are you? Are you hiding yourself there still? Oh now in the fields where are you? Are you hiding yourself in a city of weeds? Are you hiding yourself in a city of glass? In the fields where are you? Are you hiding yourself there still? Oh in the fields where are you? Are you hiding yourself in a city of weeds? Are you hiding yourself in a city of glass? In a city of glass Time waits for no one And I've lost track of you |

As I circle the picnic table
Eyes watch me in my flowing dress The sky is an unnatural shade of green But it?s really just the light through the trees Red and white inviting cookie store in New York City I took a chocolate photograph A thirteen month old smiling child Mother ends our conversation Calls me a lunatic Dancing in the middle of a crazy diamond I?m kicking dust into the stagnant air I am a shortstop between here and third But the traffic never slows Still I wave My sister tells a funny situation, she is happy in her thinking As the phone begins to ring, a big boom fills the room It is a man who wants my sister all to himself So I must break the news she is gay Laughing in the middle of a crazy diamond She?s kicking dust into the stagnant air She is a shortstop between here and third But the traffic will never slow Oh, she waves anyway Each day you make your bed all by yourself Tossing flowers, the names engraved with pencil marks A constant quirky conversation Oh, should you change your name To protect your innocence Spinning in the middle of your crazy diamond I?m kicking dust into your stagnant air You are a shortstop between here and third But the traffic will never slow Still I wave As I circle the picnic table Yours eyes watch me in my flowing dress The sky is an unnatural shade of gray But it?s really just the light fading from your eyes Yes, it?s really just the light fading, fading Yes, it?s really just the light |

Growin' up together
The years just seemed to fly Changin' our lives like the weather Rainy days to clear blue skies Too much time together Ridin' home from school Teasin' me you were better But you were the one who broke the rules I keep askin' myself How can I be feelin' this way I keep thinkin' I'm crazy But now I just got to say I couldn't help myself No, no, I couldn't help myself Ooh, ooh, I couldn't help myself From fallin' in love with you You have been there Whenever I felt like I'd reached the end Tellin' you all my secrets We were the best of friends Callin' me up Whenever nothin' was goin' down Nothin' was ever better Than when you were around I keep tellin' myself You're just a friend of mine But the more I deny it The more I realize I couldn't help myself No, no, I couldn't help myself Ooh, ooh, I couldn't help myself From fallin' in love with you Somethin' inside came alive What was the sign, was it there all the time? I don't know what I'll do If you don't feel this way too I couldn't help myself No, no, I couldn't help myself Ooh, ooh, I couldn't help myself From fallin' in love No, no, I couldn't help myself No, no, I couldn't help myself No, no, I couldn't help myself From fallin', fallin' in love with you Oh, no, no, I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love Ooh, ooh, you know I'm in love |

I wore my heart out on my sleeve
But then they shot me down And they left me here to die If my last kiss is this cold ground Will I forgive the hand That held the gun and took my life away Can't we take the time of day To give the world another chance Can't we learn from our mistakes We're human after all If we sent our hearts over now Would it ease the pain? If we sent our hearts over now Would it stop the fighting? If we sent our hearts over now Would it be enough to save the world? Well, I can't believe I'm the only one who just can't believe That this is going on As I sit in my small cell Counting scratches on the wall Scratch my head and start to cry Chained to this solitary hell I'm about to lose it all My last words are to myself Racing back to the fateful day I took another human life away Oh, how I've learned from my mistakes But now I have to pay If we sent our hearts over now Would it ease the pain? If we sent our hearts over now Would it stop the fighting? If we sent our hearts over now Would it be enough to save the world? Well, I can't believe I'm the only one who just can't believe This is going on Oh, can't we learn from our mistakes? We're human, after all I'm held hostage in a land Where there's no brotherhood of man No one understands what I say I just make it through each day As they let me waste away Somewhere behind the walls of sand And my situation is unknown And my captors rule from a thorny throne Each night I dream that I?ll soon be home But I can't sleep tonight If we sent our hearts over now Would it ease the pain? If we sent our hearts over now Would it stop the fighting? If we sent our hearts over now Would it be enough to save the world? Well, I can't believe I'm the only one who just can't believe This is going on I can't believe it, no, no I can't believe this is going on I can't believe it, no, no I can't believe this is going on I can't believe it, no, no I can't believe this is going on I can't believe it, no, no I can't believe this is going on I can't believe it, no, no I can't believe this is going on I can't believe it, no, no I can't believe this is going on ... |

The very thing that makes you happy
Makes me want to fight The very thing that makes you tired Keeps me up all night The very thing that reassures you Makes me turn and run in fright It?s the very thing, it?s the very thing It?s the very thing that makes me love you The very thing that makes us happy Is what?s tearing us apart The very place where we are ending Is where I?ve got to start To put a positive rotation To this spinning in my heart It?s the very thing, oh, it?s the very thing It?s the very thing that makes me love you The difference between you and me Is you?ve been where I?m trying to be If I could open my eyes then I would see There?s not that big a difference No, there?s not that big a difference between you and me I?ve lost my place and I?ve lost the time I?ve lost my reason and I?ve lost my rhyme I?ve lost count of what is and isn?t mine It?s a sad, sad tale to tell and if I?m boring you, then what the hell ?Cus the very thing that interests me Well, it's boring you to tears The very thing that?s healing me Is stirring up your fears But can you wait as I learn now What you have known for years It?s the very thing, oh, it?s the very thing It?s the very thing that makes me love you Oh, it?s the very thing Oh, it?s the very thing It?s the very thing that makes me love you La, la, la La, la, la La, la, la ... |

Salvador, your father named you
After a dead brother And your mother hung the cross upside down Salvador, so much of time hung over Old men's sleeves The prick of guilt's thorn rusted and worn Sewn into our hearts in the shape of a star Up the alley I stop at a window Through the curtains I see Figures moving, figures swaying Figures talking in time Paintings of persistence Paintings of persistence hung like a jury Searching and seeking Silent icons I wipe the dust from my hands Salvador, no one believes me But I swear I know what I'm doing And once you were painting The ground you were breaking But it?s never enough to gain their approval Up the alley, the window is broken The sky's on the ground They unravel the rope of unreason They will hang me for sure Searching and seeking their silent icons They wipe the blood from their hands Salvador, they want a savior And they crowned you king They begged you for answers But the glory or fame took away time From your obligations Keep on sleeping, don?t awake from this dream I?ll comb your mustache, I'll wipe your body I'll kiss your feet when they take you Down from the cross |

He checks his wrist
And chuckles to himself, "Half-past a freckle" She meets him in line, just in time For the half-past a freckle show Lips press her flesh With a wet sticky kiss The smell on his breath Makes her turn her face As she starts to get a little sick He hails a cab She gasps for breath during the drive She dives into his pants And he looks as if he's shocked As if she should have knocked He says, "You're too fast for me You're too, too fast for me You're too, too fast for me" She says, "Maybe you're too slow" Back at the motel He mentions his job is going well She unbraids her hair And for the ten-thousandth time Asks him again "What is it you do there?" He says, "I work at the Popsicle plant I pour the dye in the number five machine I am responsible for turning Popsicles green" "But you're too fast for me You're too, too fast for me You're too, too fast for me" She says, "Maybe you're too slow" She, she shimmies 'round the room Ha-ha-has while he explains She caresses a lamp Just to see his face full of longing and pain He says, "Let's do it on the floor" She says, "Tickle me instead" Well, he rolls his eyes so she slaps his thigh He says, "What did you do that for?" She says, "You're too fast for me! You're too, too fast for me You're too, too fast for me" He says, "Maybe you're too slow" You're too, too, too fast for me Oh, you're too, too, too fast for me You're too, too, too fast for me She says, "Maybe you're too" He says, "Maybe you're too" She says, "Maybe you're too slow" |

I'd take you to a restaurant
But I don?t have any money I?d take you for a drive But I don?t have a car I?d take you to Paris But I don?t have a jet So I hope you?ll settle For a claim on my heart I?d take you to the moon But I don?t have a rocket I?d take you to heaven But I wouldn?t know where to start I?d take you as far As my imagination would let it But I hope you?ll settle For a claim on my heart If you?ll just bear with me for a moment I?m sure that we can find All that we once held is true It?s in a crevice Embedded in my heart And it?s solid as a stone I?ll search the world For laughter you?ve never heard I?ll find the pieces That are missing to the part I?ll tell you the secrets Untold and hidden But I hope you?re happiest With a claim on my heart |
