Find My Baby
the clock is ticking but I got no time
the hook is sinking but I got no line
to find my baby
got to find out where she's gone x2
I looked in windows and I peeped in doors
searched in places I ain't been before
to find my baby…
well you live a moment live a life
no difference 'tween the two
it's all too long and all too fast
when no one's next to you
the birds are singing as if nothing's changed
the bees are buzzing like she'll come again
got to find my baby…

Don't Walk Away
there may be times the needle drives too deep
you live in places that you never even wanted to see
there may be times for prayer upon your knees
together I know we can find something soft and sweet
don't walk away
you may think that I will never know how to hold you
how afraid are you, you won't even let me try
I see the birds and the flowers that surround you
I understand but I still don't think it's right
don't walk away
now the sky is full of stars with no light left
there's a sound so small when something beautiful breaks
we say no so often leave so much time to drift
won't you share this fire with me a few more days
don't walk away

Gonna Drown

Gonna Drown
something 'bout the mood I'm in
see the sun sinking down
something 'bout someplace I wanna go
on the dark side of town
washed up here all thirsting
got some splinters got some nails
I got a message in a bottle
only love can fix the hull and fill the sails
I'm gonna drown my sorrows in whisky
gonna drown that whisky in beer
gonna drown my aching head for an hour or two
in anyone who is near
like an ancient zen brass bell
the sodden heart does ring
and all the secrets you can't bear to tell
are so easy to sing
gonna drown…
sipping on kerosene
chewing on coal
I'm gonna slow-dance with all the wrong I've done
I'm gonna grind it into gold
gonna drown...

Miss Me When I'm Gone
I never been this afraid of thinking for myself
the ride is so much easier when you sit behind someone else
I miss the girl I feel the ache I don't mind a few clichés
who can look to a distant peak when the dust blows in your face
you'll miss me when I'm gone x3
sunrise sunset wax and wane the turning little world
it all moves so smoothly till I'm reminded of that girl
should I look over my shoulder I might see she does the same
we both heed that wise old lie 'time heals the woulds away'
you'll miss me…
to hear a thing a thousand times and still not feel it once
to feel that thing night after night and wish you had a second chance
the songbirds cease to favour me there'll be no thaw come spring
icy hands upon my heart she's taken everything
you'll miss me...

Fan the Flame

Fan the Flame
I am just a man my eyes don't glow in the dark
still they're greener than the dollar you can make them spark
I dip my hands up to the wrist in your distant hair
you can leave me in the morning baby I won't care
I say honey would you like to know my name
honey would you like to feel the flame
burning close to you
would you like to fan the flame
burning just for you
the weather turns the vane there's darkness at the heart
who doesn't want more than what's given who doesn't want a better part
I spill my tongue into you like a waterfall
you can leave me in the morning baby I will never call
just say honey…
when I walk into the night I expect smoke and a couple of stars
a ship in every bottle memories breaking down the heart
I'd lie like water beside your flowing skin
you can leave me in the morning I'll say I have never been
just say honey…
now I feel somebody weave whisper in my hair
I turn toward the scent of song I see there's no one there
so I tune my guitar way down low to the pitch of swampy things
you can leave me in the morning baby I will give you the wings
just say…would you like to know my name
…would you like to feel the flame
burning close to you
would you like to fan the flame
burning just for you

Another She

Another She
you think she paints colours on the mountainside
sketches the flash of silver where the rivers rise
you think she sees angels in the darkest sky
sweetens the air around her like a holy choir
you will speak her name
hungry hold her hand
you'll share a few dark hours when you act the man
but you better good
for meaning in her words
'cause green-eyes tell you things that can't be understood
she will kiss you once then slip into the dark
wait a year of seasons for another reason to call
you think she'll bring you blossoms for your lonely heart
she sets your eyes to burning like two lamps of love
you will speak…
I fell under her spell again when springtime came
her eyes were light her laughs were like a springtime rain
I babbled what was broken listened for her reply
felt silence swell like a flock of birds about to fly
I spoke her name
hungry held her hand
shared a few short hours when I acted the man
you know I listened well
for the will behind her words
green-eyes told me things that couldn't be understood

Can't Wake Up

Can't Wake Up
nothing in my face but disappointment
nothing in my arms but memory
outside the klaxon sun is sounding
inside I crawl between my alcohol and my caffeine
and I can't wake up
can't shake the haze and murk
I can't wake up
go beyond this stunted birth
I can't wake up
it's probably true the stems are blooming
it's probably true that beauty walks the streets
something turned my sight to sour
my eyes are thin and I look at everyone like an enemy
and I can't wake up…
all my days preserved in amber
there's nothing left for me to hide
and I spoke to well, you know, I just can't be bothered to remember
now I cast the dice in the book of rhymes to see what's buried alive
and I can't wake up…
so hold your pleasant salutations
don't try to get me on the phone
if you wanna join this dark celebration
leave your confetti and the ice cream melting on your bones
and I can't wake up...

A Woman's Tears

A Woman's Tears
I seen all colours of the eyes dissolve when love went wrong
when I knew this pair of arms was not where I belonged
it was lie for a lie truth for a truth
sun shine down when love's in its youth
dance for a dance kiss for a kiss
it's goodbye darling you will be missed
a woman's tears are not like lightning
they slowly fall to fill the sky
a woman's tears are not like thunder
when it all comes down they break so quiet
her face is smooth as paper the line she writes is always the same
a single branch of ocean a single run of rain
she'll grow old so beautifully
I won't see the change in her she won't see the change in me
I won't be around we'll play lost and found
forever till the night till the night comes down
a woman's tears…
now who knew that it would be like this such sorrow after such a sweet kiss
who thought about the corner of the room where the time-bomb ticks
forty days forty nights
thinking forty winters by firelight
six days of rust one of wanderlust
and empires crumble into the dust
a woman's tears…

Night (and There's Nothing Whole)
there's a girl with a star tattooed on her shoulder
gliding across the room
it's too obvious to say but I really would like to hold her
I'm witless as an 18 year old groom
it's night and there's nothing whole
you'd think the dark would make us all one heart one soul
it's night and there's nothing whole
and there's nothing else you gotta know
lay down your two-bit silver on a hundred shards of mirror
see what you can see
steal close to her heart you see a tattooed quaver
she says 'love is all I need'
it's night…
there's a man who slips himself into a bottle or a body
getting hard to hold his head up high
hunger and thirst in the incandescent wire
we flicker like the northern sky
it's night…
there's a girl with a scar of a tattoo on her shoulder
tried to erase the days
after all we think and say and do love still smoulders
though we hide it in a thousand ways
it's night…

The Way Love Calls

The Way Love Calls
a couple of hands a solitary light
say move on man there's nothing more to see here
hubcap lying by the edge of the street
chalk-mark in the shape of a sleeper
I hear a whisper from a distant hall
is that the way love calls
I fire back a kiss through a dozen walls
is that the way love calls
spanky and the gang the rat-pack too
flash and all the freaks that he hangs with
smile it slight to see me turn to you
after all this time I let my little love languish
I hear a whisper…
one more verse to steady it up
a tripod a tent and an old triangle
you got to empty the bottle if you wanna fill the cup
till now my heart's been nothing but a cheap and a gaudy bangle
I hear a whisper…
