1 - Calling You

You've got a story to tell / And a place to come home to / Yet, you choose to hide / Do you feel safer out here / Where no one will be watching / or do you fear the light / I am calling you / I am watching you / I walk with you / I play like you / unafraid and blue / I hear them whipping the mule / as they follow the coffin / destined for the field / the mourners behind / I see you're walking amongst them / i know you need my voice / all these familiar faces / all gathered around the open mouth / I see your shadow down there - but then it's gone

2 - River

Dark as the colour of a river / I taste your name / roll it around my tongue / Dark as the colour of a river / I sense there's a danger / that does not hinder me / I take you in / before i realise / and i breathe with you / before i realise / Like a lover / down the river / Like the stories never told / Like a mirror / of the river / with you i see myself / Dark as the colour of a river / you're coming closer / I dare not even speak / Dark as the colour of a river / I see you're trembling / I reach out my hand / no regrets / they're wasted anyway / turn around / i'm not here to harm you

3 - Never Fly Away

I know when you are hurting / your pain is mine / let me carry you through the morning mist / and on to the bridge / Let us talk about the hard times / find shelter in my hands / give your thoughts some rest / as there are two of us tonight / never fly away / Until you have tried everything / give it one more day / good things lie in wait / hold on to yourself / You know that the wind will change / i cannot be your eyes / But i will try to make you see / that beauty lies underneath your skin / this fight is yours to win / a piece of this moment / is all it will ever take / Stay afloat and stay right here / be as one with me / oh, nothing tastes as sweet now / as it once did / in time you know it will

4 - Denial

What if i told you / straight to your face / what if i told you / nothing at all / Cover it with make-up / hiding all the bruises / no one shall notice / no one shall know / Why can't you hear me no more / hear when i whisper your name / hear why i feel so ashamed / hear when i silence my tears / what if i pointed / a gun to your head / What if i pulled the trigger / you do deserve it / all the hurt you can get / besides no one shall notice / no one shall know

5 - Snow

All i want / is to step outside into the mist / with bare feet / underneath the other side of the sun / it will be / A ferry waiting there for me / to take me across / it merely holds one chair / i know i must loose you / mhm mmmhmhm / it's not that i have not got faith / mhm mmmhm / but i have got some stuff to do / and people who need seeing to aha / and i must build a world of snow / close your eyes / It will be less painful naturally / and you should know / that nothing ever stays the same / especially / All the things we build in snow / like / castles horses men and cities

6 - Exile

I just want to lay myself down / drink the illusions and let it all float away / into the river of voices / One of them will speak and tell me where to go / i packed my thoughts and visions / headed for the light on the other side / although consoling was a myth / the tunnel was a con / I ran - but i never turned back / i have deported my own life / into this foolish splendour / I have brought the beauty of a soul / cold and dark as the last day / is the image of the dream / that made it all worth-while / in exile / If there is a sign out there hiding / come to me now or forever hold your peace / you'll find me in my room in the guesthouse / riding clouds that are hard to please / When there is a fight i will be there / it feels so good to do what one should not do / and i play i gamble and stay / i look - but i never turn back

7 - Pilot

You just want to strip me / off of who i am / divide me into pieces / and then you can decide / what it is you want / a heart a mind a fuck / if it's all the same to you / i'll choose instead / it's a close race, close race / you're pushing the buttons now / as fast as you can / close race, close race / now it's time to understand / and leave you, leave you / stranded here / a pilot with no plane / my parachute will open / while yours will fail / and it doesn't really matter / if your crash-helmet is on / i'll just light another / of your cigarettes / and the ghosts that haunt this house / will slowly fade away

8 - Smile In Your Sleep

Behind my new face / I'm the same as i've always been / wondering how you are / if i am your mother still / I'm wearing the denim dress / and my hair is the same way / I want you to remember / and to keep me alive / this time of year / I'd give my life to live / out there with you / and watch you smile in your sleep / I see you across the room / I fear that i cannot even breathe / oh gosh, how you have grown / you're nearly as tall as myself / I want everyone to notice / just how proud you make me feel / instead i say nothing / and then you head for the door

9 - Leaving

You've got the shock / you've got the crying / you've got the guild / you've got the house / i have got leaving on my side / You've got rock bottom / you've got the people / you've got the winter / you've got the penance / the upper hand / the promised land / If nothing counts / and if something is nothing / i've got leaving on my side / it counts for something / if nothing is something / i've got leaving on my mind / it counts if nothing counts

10 - Beautiful Morning

Beautiful morning / how can you greet me / like that you never used to know me before / Beautiful morning / smiling all softly / like an ally or lover / how can you do that / you should know better by now / But i believe things always change / maybe this time / you come with the sun / I never thought that the sun / would shine around here / I never thought that the sun / would be my friend / Beautiful morning / I'm not a mother / all i possessed / I have given away / beautiful morning / do you still want me / right now i'm counting / hours of the day and the days of the week

11 - Love I Gave

I have shut the window / ready to defend / what is left to die for / what is left to give / all is about to wither / all is about you / hard to make up your mind / hard to get through to me / you gave away the love i gave / time is what's left over / when you've got time to waste / funny how everything / falls into place once decisions are made

12 - Butterfly-Milk

Butterfly are you ready to exhale / swallow me whole or drown me in the pond / i want nothing more / than to smell you on my skin / and taste you in my mouth / when you're gone / you're still here
