I will dream for you
When you're on the long, dark road
When you fear your heart
Can't bear the heavy load
When love is a stranger
you once called friend
When hope has forsaken you
Again and again
I will dream, I will dream for you
I will sing for you
When you cry out in the night
When you can't make a sound
And you can't make it right
When your words aren't heard
Though you speak the truth
When your voice grows weak
And your will does too
I will sing, I will sing for you
I will carry you
When your strength's been drained
When your vision blurs
And your faith has waned
When your dream for peace
Breaks your heart in two
And the tides of grief
Wash over you
Oh my love, i will carry you
"Can't Say I Miss You at All"
You crossed my mind
The other day
In this notably insignificant
Sort of a way
So I just thought I'd call
If only to say
That I don't miss you at all
I can't say I miss
The smoke-filled abyss
Of that sleazy old bar
Or the scratch of your voice
Or the dark, dirty growl
Of your favorite guitar
I can't say I miss you at all
I can't say I miss you at all
I can't say I yearn
For the sweet, slow burn
Of whiskey at the end of the day
For those questionable diners
Objectionable one-liners
Nor for wishing that you would stay
I can't say I crave
The sweet sensation
Of kissing our way
Through sleep deprivation
Laughing away
All-too-frequent frustration,
I can't say I miss you at all
I can't say I miss you at all
I can't say I miss you at all
And you've got a closet
Full of memories
Mostly of the skirt-wearing variety
And you're used to the calls
From one of the many
Just wanting to tell you
She's missing you plenty
And I don't intend
To join the likes of them
By calling and bearing my soul
No I don't aspire
To be fuel for the fire
Of an ego burning out of control
I can't say I miss you at all
I can't say I miss you at all
And you crossed my mind
The other day
In this very insignificant
Sort of a way
So I just thought I'd call
If only to say
That I don't miss you at all
I can't say I miss you at all
I can't say I miss you at all
"April"
Broken porcelain morning
She loved it so well
Ivory, blue and yellow
It was till it fell
And shattered
Now she's gone, gone, gone
April is gone
Swept away by September's
Watery song
Pearlescent drops
Drift down to the ground
From wispy blonde locks
In a slow motion round
Pitter patter
Now she's gone, gone, gone
April is gone
Swept away by September's
Watery song
Oh the fire-filled tales
Still waters could tell
So still because they're hiding
But they hide it so well
And that's what matters
Now she's gone, gone, gone
April is gone
Swept away by September's
Watery song
Swept away by September's
Watery song
"Slot Machine"
You are like a slot machine
And I am f$%n' broke
And if I was a funny girl
You'd be my worst joke
Guess I should smile
Let reality escort me to the door
What can I say, I like it this way
It's all just a metaphor
But one of these days
I'll be walking out that door
And if I was a picnic
You'd be the chance of showers
And if you were afraid of heights
I'd be the Eiffel Tower
One would think a combination like that
Would point me to the door
What can I say, I like it this way
It's all just a metaphor
But one of these days
I'll be walking out that door
If you were an alcoholic
I'd be a full bar
And if I was too drunk to drive
You would be my car
And if I had any sense
I'd be long gone out the door
What can I say, I like it this way
It's all just a metaphor
But one of these days
I'll be walking out that door
“TimeSpace Lullaby”
If I could give it all to you
With just one glance
I’d do it for you, baby
If I had the chance
But there’s no time
And it’s not my place
To try and cross this endless space
If only I could learn
To slow these tides
That rise so high
When you cross my mind
But there’s no time
And it’s not my place
To try and cross
This boundless space
Baby, the space
It seems so wide
Maybe I will meet you
On the other side
I would take your pain
With just one kiss
If I thought you would ache
Just a little less
But there’s no time
And it’s not our place
To try and cross
This precious space
Baby, the space
It seems so wide
Maybe I will meet you
On the other side
“The Mourning of Magic”
I once knew a man
But not very well
He said, do you like to pretend?
But try as I might
My child had left me
And my heart, I found, hardened
In the time that it took
To shoot one fatal look
Saying won’t you let me be?
He closed his eyes
Said now I am blind…
Won’t you help me see?
The daybreak of reason
The dusk of belief
The eve of desire
The dawn of deceit
The mourning of magic as it fails to sway
The decline of the light at the end of the day
I once know a man
But not very well
He said, won’t you speak to me of love?
He was eager to learn,
But could not discern that he’d taken quite enough
In the time that it took
To shoot one fatal look
Saying won’t you let me be?
He’d closed his eyes,
Said now I am blind…
Won’t you help me see?
The daybreak of reason
The dusk of belief
The eve of desire
The dawn of deceit
The mourning of magic
As it fails to sway
The decline of the night
At the breaking of day
