These Eyes Speak Too Much 04:17
lyrics
buy track
I can't give you all my love Buried deep and fortified above I'm fickle like a timid dove Fled in flight from the gauntlet glove Hear me, Lady Love These eyes speak too much It's known, it's known, it's known Please forgive me, darling please I didn't mean to put your mind at ease Just for you to sit and watch alone As I descend from our fragile throne Here me, Honey Pie These eyes speak too much It's known, it's known, it's known Where can we go from here And make the wounds disappear I can't pretend my dear, oh no, oh no I've been in your chair before Don't I know it's a ragged floor Better now than to wait out the night Waiting on the dawn of future fights Hear me, Lady Bright These eyes speak too much, It's known, it's known, it's known

Peaches & Cream 03:07
lyrics

Your eyes tell me what I need Time goes by, like the gentle breeze I see you dance like the wind in the trees It's all true, it's all new Hold me darling, closer to your heart Let our movements play the greater part Don't you think it was lovely from the start These summer dreams of peaches & cream Tell me lady what does it all mean Make me stumble, make my heart beam I can only tell it as it seems These summer dreams of peaches & cream Rain or shine, always be mine Taste of your wine, soft and divine Sleet or snow, lovers go slow What do I know, above or below? I can't tell you but I can show you How one love be melded from two Make these stubborn wishes come true Build this rusty heart anew Hold me darling, closer to your heart Let our movements play the greater part Don't you think it was lovely from the start These summer dreams of peaches & cream

Are You Feelin' Fine 03:37
lyrics
buy track
I guess I've known you long But my guess has often still be wrong I wonder, have I done a crime? Help me tow the line Are you feelin', Are you feelin' fine? Darlin', you've been on my mind Are you feelin' fine? Are you feelin', are you feelin'? I miss those days before, Long since we knew for sure Please tell me, give me one more sign Darling, let me know Are you feelin', Are you feelin' fine? Are you feelin' fine? Darlin', you've been on my mind Are you feelin' fine? Are you feelin', are you feelin'? And there's not much more to do Though I haven't got a clue Let me try to help you too Oh I wish I knew, how to make it through I miss our silent talks One touch and truth could walk A riddle in a quiet kiss What's this? I'm amiss Are you feelin', Are you feelin' fine? Are you feelin' fine? Darlin', you've been on my mind Are you feelin' fine? Are you feelin', are you feelin' fine?

No More Flowers 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Often in my life Have I felt this way Wishing only fondly That you'd float back my way Then I would tell you That it's not your fault Think of me with kindness Put me in your vault Then I notice it's all wrong Left me hanging here far too long Fine, I'll go, i'll run along Never to hear this bitter song Roses are Red, violets are blue, But I'll grow no flowers with you Maybe with some time I'll taste a lover's dew Tomorrow or today I'll be better they say For now, I will play Keep the silence at bay Then I notice it's all wrong Left me hanging here far too long Fine, I'll go, i'll run along Never to hear this bitter song No more flowers, no more flowers No more flowers

What Do I Want with Me 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Tired of counting sheep Poor old Bo-Peep Never get my sleep Shadows start to creep Oh I can't fix these broken dreams Desperation starts to scream Waking life, all the night Sleep walk through the day's delights Tell me what do I want with me Everything, nothing, also maybe Sleep on it Lenny, nowhere left to be, oh What more can I want with me Bitter symphonies Strung out in the dark Can't hear past the din till commuters start to bark Problem in the brain Blame it on the train Running off the tracks Missed my stop two hours back Tell me what do I want with me Everything, nothing, also maybe Sleep on it Lenny, nowhere left to be, oh What more can I want with me And all I can achieve Will have to wait till dawn, no more stepping on the lawn And all I can believe Is waiting to come true, a different day will do Tell me what do I want with me Everything, nothing, also maybe Sleep on it Lenny, nowhere left to be, oh What more can I want with me

Curtain Call 04:11
lyrics
buy track
I could tell you how I feel Indecision spins this Ferris wheel But I'd wait days and I'd wait nights Just to hold you through the twilight But I will never break your fall This will be my curtain call And I will never follow you again Till I find the one I once knew, my friend You break hearts and ignite eyes All to their sad surprise Did we ever feel the same If so I don't have to explain And I will never let you down That is if we come around And I will never break your fall This will be my curtain call, curtain call

Afterall 04:20
lyrics
buy track
After all the games we played Of who lost or won, was it ever really fun? After all the lights are out Shadows die away, how I'd hoped they'd come to play And after all the tides are swept Don't they get upset, do they ever have regrets? And afterall, it's only fair All these little things never seem to care Oh, to start again, again Remember every turn, would I ever learn Oh, to start again, again Live a life anew, so much left to do After all the winds are blown Do they wander home or die out as they roam? After all the mountains quake Divorce the evening sky, do they ever start to cry? And after all the days are done Bones all turn to dust, do they ever make a fuss? And afterall, it's only fair All these little things never seem to care Oh, to start again, again Remember every turn, would I ever learn Oh, to start again, again Live a life anew, so much left to do After all, after all, after all

Dreams of Domesticity 04:41
lyrics
buy track
Settle down young blood, lead your footprints home Never since my adolescence was I scared to be alone Here come dirty thirty, never felt so wrong Twenty-four was so much more than I knew all along And how I wish to turn it back and tinker all those clocks Always get the sleep I lost and cherish all our weary walks Oh these dreams of domesticity Tell me honey, will we ever grow that tree Little shallow bungalow with white lace on the sill A gentle epitaph to a dream differed, unfulfilled But I don't know now where to go, all the talk's just turned to noise And while I wait with baited breath I start to lose my poise And all the while I think to lose that sense of self-control But all I ever wanted babe was for love to take control Oh these dreams of domesticity Tell me honey, will we ever build that tree I think I'm ready but the driver's out to lunch I think I'm ready but it's just a simple hunch I think I'm ready but I could use a gentle punch I think I'm ready, honey, let's skip out on brunch Let's skip out on brunch, second dinner baby, what it's all about Let's skip out on brunch F**k it, let's sleep in past lunch Oh these dreams Oh these dreams Oh these dreams

Resignation 05:18
lyrics
buy track
Lead a horse to water, can't make it drink And I can change my name but don't mean it'll make you think That I could be someone other than the first you knew You put me in some clothes that I long ago outgrew I retire, I concede I regret, I believe I'm Sisyphus on the retrieve I'm sick of this, I think that I should leave I could never be the one you wanted You can never be the one I need A thousand different ways, a thousand different years We could never be the ones we said we'd be Give me the strength to accept what I can't change Give me the smarts to never rearrange The firm resolve I've set, despite the years gone by I wish to tell you how but you'd probably ask why I retire, I concede I regret, I believe I'm Sisyphus on the retrieve I'm sick of this, it's time that I should leave I could never be the one you wanted You can never be the one I need A thousand different ways, a thousand different years We could never be the ones we said we'd be Oh Resignation

Smile 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Smile, always smile When your spirits are low Always smile through the sleet and snow Everybody knows Smile when you're down, Keep that inverted frown Cheek to cheek when they're all around Always play the clown Smile through the pain Don't let it start to strain Let them eat those coffee stains And you'll wish you'd gone astray On the day you give it away But till then, just pretend it's okay And there's not a lot to do That a grin can't do for you Even if it just delays those summer blues Smile, always smile For a little while Be that grinny crocodile Wear it in style Smile when you're alone, And on the telephone Always let them see you when you smile And you'll wish you'd gone astray On the day you give it away But till then, just pretend it's okay And there's not a lot to do That a grin can't do for you Even if it just delays those summer blues Smile when you're alone, And on the telephone Always let them see you when you smile

Dedicated to the epic promise of youth
And all the helpful dreams that accompany them
To the bus stop
But never board the express.
