Red Flowers

red flowers
on a green leaf bed
in a golden meadow
with a blue sky overhead
the stars sparkle at the day
as the night's falling
on our little meadow
and the crickets start talking
about the weather
i've loved you
for a long, long time
i don't know what to do
more to try to make you mine
you know, it's a lonely night
and a blazing day
and i'm missing the scent
of an evening in the hay
i'm missing the...
red flowers
on a green leaf bed
in a golden meadow
with a blue sky overhead
the stars sparkle at the day
as the night's falling
on our little meadow
and the crickets start talking
about the weather

oh my love
i'll see you in
the morning of
our life's beginning.
we'll find that bench
that looks out to sea/see
jumping dophins,
sun sparkling
and we'll stay there
our whole, long lives
early morning
i've got to try
try to give you something
to remember me by
gotta give you something
to remember me by
(baby remember,
baby remember me)
oh, my love
i'll see you in
the morning sun
at our life's end
still on that bench
that looks out to sea/see
jumping dolphins
sun sparkling
gotta try to give you something
to remember me by
gotta give you something
to remember me by
so you wake up one day
and need me in your life
forever always,
forever you're mine
you've been my only one
for a long time
you've been my only one
for a long time
you've been my only one for a lifetime
you've been my only one for a lifetime
wrong or right

Lover Safe
03:45
|
|||
|
baby, you've got an angel watching you
a lady. and in my dream, she was there too.
if birds can fly, then surely i can get to you
you know i'll try. this is the best that i can do
my love is not afraid
he writes me every day
and i begin to pray
"please keep my lover safe"
my heart is broken down
rebuilt it from the ground
all that i have to say
is "please keep my lover safe"
your lonely tree, out in the middle of a field
remembers me. a loving glance, i sometimes steal.
i need you now, whatever way you can come through.
i made a vow: no more to run away from you.
my love is not afraid
she writes me every day
and i begin to pray
"please keep my lover safe"
my heart is broken down
in pieces on the ground
all that i have to say
is "please keep my lover safe"
please keep my lover safe
please keep my lover safe

Longer Into The Dark
03:40
|
|||
|
let me follow my heart
a little longer into the dark
it's simple: i'd wander here forever
and wait for the light the shines from you.
cause you're my one desire
i want to dance into the fire
i can't feel pain when we're together
romance is alive when i'm with you
so i guess i'll just die here in your arms
i was never one to resist your charms
yeah, i guess i'll just cry myself to sleep
outside i smile, inside i weep.
and as long as you're here next to me
there's no other place i'd rather be
yeah, i know there's a lot of ways to go
if i could pick, i'd choose you over and over
and over and over and over
i'd choose you over and over
drowning in your laughter
is one way to get to the hereafter
some days it kills me, but it always thrills me
to spend precious time on Earth with you
so i guess i'll just die here in your arms
i was never one to resist your charms
yeah, i guess i'll just cry myself to sleep
outside i smile, inside i weep.
and as long as you're here next to me
there's no other place i'd rather be
yeah, i know there's a lot of ways to go
if i could pick, i'd choose you over and over
and over and over and over
i'd choose you over and over

Yellow From The Blue
04:10
|
|||
|
i used to think i'd be your wife
be your best friend for all of my life
now that you've found somebody new
you're still around me. so half of it was true.
i don't need anything at all
i don't need anything from you
i don't need you to break my fall
instead of drowning, i just flew
i am so happy being here
where you and i can share a view
i don't need anyone to hold
i'm pulling yellow from the blue, again
yellow from the blue, again
now, most of the things
that i've always feared
have happened already
and i've cried my tears
but, then comes a smile
you're holding me close
i know you love me,
you love me more than most
i don't need anything at all
i don't need anything from you
i don't need you to break my fall
instead of drowning, i just flew
i am so happy being here
where you and i can share a view
i don't need anyone to hold
i'm pulling yellow from the blue, again
yellow from the blue, again
nothing in this world is ending
time is a still-life, still bending
nothing in this world is over
i'm still your lucky four-leaf clover
aren't i?
i don't need anything at all
i don't need anything from you
i don't need you to break my fall
instead of drowning, i just flew
i am so happy being here
where you and i can share a view
i don't need anyone to hold
i'm pulling yellow from the blue, again
yellow from the blue, again

You Don't Love Me
03:53
|

|
(i want a love that's nice, i want a love that feels right.
i want a love that's polite, and who holds me all night)
now, baby boy, i'm getting out
and it's not because my mind's in a cloud or in doubt
you see, i finally figured out
the reason it's not working out:
it's because you don't love me
you don't love
no, you don't love me in the way you should.
you don't love me
you don't love me
you don't love me in the way you should
in the way that you should
(hold me like you should, you should)
in a way that feels good
(can it please feel good, feel good)
in a way that feels good
now, i have to admit, it's not your fault
you can't make yourself fall in love, after all.
and yeah, you think you really care about me
it's just not the type of affection that i need.
you see, you don't love me
you don't love me
you don't love me in the way you should
no, you don't love me
you don't love me
no, you don't love me in the way you should
in the way that you should
(hold me like you should, you should)
in a way that feels good
(can it please feel good, feel good)
in a way that feels good

Dance Dance Dance
04:41
|

|
all the leaves, they are red and purple
and the stems, they are green and gray
how could anyone just desert her
when they promised that they would stay?
so she sways in the waning sunlight
waits and watched the diamonds rise
yearns for lovers to see the starshine
sparkling back from her dark green eyes
she says "dance, dance dance
and when you really feel it, start to wave your hands
like a flower in the wind.
you should dance, dance, dance."
though she cries in the misty morning,
still, she breathes in the golden air,
tilts her head to see buzzards soaring,
laughs as petals fall in her hair.
and the mantra she keeps reciting
holds her close when she's all alone.
in its joy, she is still delighting
and the dance, it goes on and on.
she says "dance, dance dance!
and when you really feel it, start to wave your hands
like a flower in the wind.
you should dance, dance, dance."
"love, love, love!
until you feel it travel from the bottom up.
let it fill you to the top
till you are love, love, love."

Diamond
03:53

don't you know that you're my king
have you been told that you are the rarest thing
in the sunlight, your shine blings
it's crystal clear now: you're a diamond
you're a diamond
you're a diamond ring
you're a diamond
you're a diamond ring
you're a precious gem to me
your laugh's infectious. i love the way you beam
through dazzling, sterling filigree
it's crystal clear now: you're a diamond
you're a diamond
you're a diamond ring
you're a diamond
you're a diamond ring
yeah, you're my diamond
you're a diamond ring
such a pretty thing
you're a diamond ring

No One Knows I'm Here
03:27
|
|||
|
(do i feel danger or do i feel safe?
am i a stranger to myself in this place?)
on a summer night
i walk outside
and leave my phone home,
and go down the road
and now no one knows i'm here
no, no one knows i'm here
at all, at all
(do i feel danger or do i feel safe?
am i a stranger to myself in this place?)
i hear music play
from down the way
and i start to sway
and it feels great
and now no one knows i'm here
no, no one knows i'm here
at all, at all
(do i feel danger or do i feel safe?
am i a stranger to myself in this place?)
heavy metal pours
from an open door
heavy petals fall
on a baby's doll
and now no one knows i'm here
no, no one knows i'm here
no, no one knows i'm here
no, no one knows i'm here
at all, at all
(do i feel danger or do i feel safe?
am i a stranger to myself in this place?)

Regrette Rien
04:06
|
|||
|
(hands across the table, when the lights are low)
i thought i saw you in my dreams a-runnin' through my head
and i just want to tell you that i love you, my friend
do you remember when i said it to you way-back-when?
and did i have you? for a minute, even? i bet
that you regret nothing that you said
you regret nothing that you did
well, i regret one thing: that i left.
but i regret nothing with you, kid.
maybe tomorrow i can ask to borrow your pen
and then i'll find you, in the summertime, you were my friend.
the pain is over, but it's never-ending. it just bends
into the shape of a crown of Golden Loneliness.
do you regret nothing that you said?
do you regret nothing that you did?
well, i regret the one thing: that i left.
but i regret nothing with you, kid.
what we did; i wouldn't change it.
i wouldn't change it
(hands across the table, when the lights are low)

Baby In My Mind
04:58
|
|||
|
honey, i've loved you from the first time that i saw you
where has it gone to, that old light?
where is my baby? i don't hear from him lately
he didn't come to say goodbye
(i just want my baby in my mind)
i miss your kitchen and feeding your kittens
and putting on records at night
you were my home then, and now i'm just floating
for the moment, and making it through time
well, it all changed so fast. now i'm looking to the past
trying to make some sense of it so i can get over it
you weren't the Sun, but you were my dearest one
the gentle rain at your window had me linger in the morn'
yeah, i remember all the crying and the hurting
and how it got so bitter as love died
but, i want to remember why we were together
i just want my baby in my mind
i just want my baby
i just want my baby
i just want my baby in my mind
