Lost touch, long ago, It didn't end so well, I know Lashed out, had a row Don't know where home is for you now Your drink should not have stayed undrunk You should have drunk it down with your prayers I showed no mercy to you then No mercy when Chorus A glass unkissed by human lips A glass untouched by human hands A glass unbroken cut the skin 'till we bled A glass unkissed by human lips A glass untouched by human hands A glass unbroken cut us both 'till we bled Lost all in the end Threw out the suffering of a friend Let's hope life is kind And will deliver peace of mind Forgive this crazy one Her crazey time in hell She keeps her silence now And means you well Chorus |

I look for comfort in the arms of every friend that I have known, I long for poetry to sweep away the clouds above my soul. I let myself believe that these will be my saviours till the end. And so, on them I depend. On them I depend. Chorus Where is the drug? Where is the healing? Where is whatever will ease this pain? There is nothing I won't swallow To stop what's eating up my brain And get my feeling back again I hear tortured voices buried deep inside of my head, I have restlessness and anger as a pillow for my bed. I hope it won't be long ¡®til I can prove myself to be Untarnished by what's followin' me What is followin' me? Repeat chorus What of the prayers that seek to comfort one who's losing her love, What of her mother's cries that surely she has suffered enough. And when he's gone where is the justice in a child that knows his name As a photo in a frame A picture in a frame Repeat chorus Where is the drug? Where is the healing? Where is whatever will ease this pain? There is nothing she won't swallow To stop what's eating up her brain And get my feeling back again Where is the drug? Where is the healing? Where is whatever will ease this pain? There is nothing we won't swallow To stop what's eating up our brain And get our feeling back again Where is the drug? Where is the healing? Where is whatever will ease this pain? There is nothing they won't swallow To stop what's eating up their brain And get their feeling back again |

Lying here naked with me Can you see Tears that I can't hide If I could tell you about it I would But I couldn't if I tried Don't ask me why Don't ask me why Don't ask me why When I don't know Lying here naked I try Not to cry In your tender loving hands Sometimes you touch an emotion In me That I just don't understand Repeat CHORUS Don't ask me why These tears of mine will flow Don't ask me why Truth is,I don't know Repeat CHORUS |

Shake your beads out, One by one And call me Magdalene It won’t grieve me I understand Where it is you’re coming from Draw a curtain Close your eyes When history’s pages fail you. I will not open up those history books That’s not for me to do. Precious little in your life Is yours by right And won without a fight Precious little in your life Is yours by right And won without a fight. Shadows call me, In the wind Some don’t go away Angels guide me From the clouds In everything I do and say Shake your beads out Kneeling down It will not pass me by Two people coming from a different place Maybe neither one is right. Repeat CHORUS Shake your beads out Join your hands That still won’t make you right Those so-called sinners that you’re praying for Are standing by your side Repeat CHORUS Repeat CHORUS |

In case of loving unreturned Unrequited fingers burn Don't you blame yourself at all There is no blame,there is no crime This madness happens all the time No one there to break your fall I understand how hard it's been I've been there too and I have seen What running after love can do That feeling deep down in your soul That searing,empty,gaping hole Has dug a hole in my life too My darling,my darling So crazy,so charming It's just that it happened too soon But I send you my wishes My hugs and my kisses And whisper a prayer to the moon In case you've lost your faith in life In case you cannot sleep at night Be certain this will take it's toll I recognise those waves of pain I've known them time and time again And would not wish them on a soul Repeat CHORUS In cases lying by your door A life is packed to go once more There was no intent to deceive Please bear no grudge,just bear your soul It's hardly bearable to go And barely possible to leave My sweet tempered angel I wish I were able To heal all the hurt with a tune And if I had the powers I would give you the stars The sun and the light of the moon Repeat CHORUS Repaet CHORUS I whisper a prayer I whisper a prayer I whisper a prayer to the moon I whisper a prayer I whisper a prayer I whisper a prayer to the moon |

The black and white Is clear to see It's shades of grey Are puzzling me Shades of feeling like My body's buried deep, Half asleep, half asleep. It's a very deep hole, With very steep sides, I can't climb out I'm trapped inside It's a very deep hole, With very steep sides I can't climb out Lord knows I've tried, But I'm trapped inside You know I've tried, But I'm trapped inside. What is it with me, I make no sense Why is it I talk in future tense. When I'm s'posed to sing My voice it goes to shout "Can't break out, I can't break out". Repeat CHORUS All my climbing up has me nowhere, All of this can get too much to bear All I'm tryin' to do is mend this beat up heart That's a start, that's a start. |

I wasn't the kind to ask questions I wasn't the kind had the time, I wasn't the kind with a suspicious mind Now I'm kind of sorry, oh how I'm sorry It's not what you did has me sleepless It's not what you did has me aching so much, It's not what you did that is hurting the most It's the lies that you told, covering up CHORUS Please, please don't say how much you think of me Please, please don't say how much you cared Please, don't say that you'd never lie to me Spare me those lies you've prepared. I'm not above feeling foolish I'm not above being betrayed I'm not above, singing stories of love, But God how my stories have changed It's not what you did has me sleepless It's not what you did has me aching so much It's not what you did that is hurting the most It's lies that you told me, those lies that you told me.

Keep the weatherman sweet, Then begin sweeping the driveway. News is that the heat's Coming in, Thursday or Friday. Now I'm a little slow to see How weatherman's words are gonna satisfy me Words can change my point of view Only if they prove to be true Seven inches of rain, I believe it's gonna get wetter Seven days of the week. Hopes are high it's gonna get better Now, I'm not in the hoping game That's a kind of a pity and a bit of a shame But hope can be a two-edged sword And a luxury that I just can't afford Twelve days, snow would spread the cold around Twelve days heat would melt the snow on the ground Twelve days sun is what I'm looking for now Twelve days grey what's in store. Keep the weatherman sweet Then go off, buy an umbrella Go and wait for the sun Go and dream beautiful weather I'm much too old for dreams Now that's a little bit sad, But not as sad as it seems When dreams have been a thorny crown It's not so sad when they're tumblin' down Repeat CHORUS |

Fire's burn, turning into dust
What was precious, what was pretty paradise Fire's turn, burning to the ground. What was healthy what was holy, what was life. If you think it's hot now, If you hate that heat You think it's bad now, wait and see, You think it's close now as you sleep within your bed. Check out the fire Check out the fire Check out the fire overhead. Children grow, playing with their toys Acting out their fairytales in play Children play, growing with the noise Of television teaching them the way, And while you're sometimes scared now If you see the flames You think the smoke's from far away, You read the papers, saying the fire will not spread Repeat CHORUS Sweet the light, glowing neon blue Of havens offering shelter from the storm Sweet the sound, crackling in the grate Of firelight, welcoming and warm But if you think it's safe now, If you feel at ease Your safety's hanging from a thread Before you're happy, having locked your doors at night Repeat CHORUS |

Smells of toast and coffee served to put in mind his name today Never did take much to get me thinking about him anyway In time I may progress to welcoming the coffee’s scent At present I have no such strength. Is there no poetry, no melody to comfort me, To blur these images, etched upon my memory. My stereo is where I go to let the sunshine in, But every note’s like one from him. All that surrounds me, Won’t let him go, All that surrounds me Won’t let him go. If falling rain could only wash away my memories Then I would welcome rain and never let it bother me From my windowsill I’d watch the drops and then begin To picture him soaked to the skin. All that surrounds me, Won’t let him go All that surrounds me Won’t let him go Won’t let him go Won’t let him go. |
