| What About Love |
| Album: Welcome
home |
| Living on silence living by the book you get it to a science of living on one good look so put out all the fires and blow away the smoke I'm getting pretty tired of living on hope |
| so what about
love, baby what about making room for two what about love, baby what about you |
| Living on daydreams walking in my sleep and nothing is as it seems when you're in so deep so put out all the fires and blow away the smoke unless you're getting tired of living on hope |
| so what about love, baby what about making room for two what about love, baby what about you |
| so what about love, baby what about making room for two what about love, baby what about you |
| what about you what about you what about me |
| Coming Up Close |
| Album: Welcome
Home |
| One night in Iowa, he and I in a borrowed car went driving in the summer, promises in every star out in the distance I could hear some people laughing I felt my heart beat back a weekend's worth of sadness |
| There was a farmhouse that had long since been deserted we stopped and carved our hearts into the wooden surface we thought just for an instant we could see the future we thought for once we knew what really was important |
| Coming up close everything sounds like welcome home Come home and oh, by the way don't you know that I could make a dream that's barely half-awake come true I wanted to say - but anything I could have said I felt somehow that you already knew |
| We got back in the car and listened to a Dylan tape we drove around the fields until it started getting late and I went back to my hotel room on the highway and he just got back in his car and drove away |
| Coming up close everything sounds like welcome home Come home and oh, by the way don't you know that I could make a dream that's barely half-awake come true I wanted to say - but anything I could have said I felt somehow that you already knew |
| Coming up close everything sounds like welcome home Come home |
| Coming up close everything sounds like welcome home Come home Come on home |
| On Sunday |
| Album: Welcome
home |
| You should take a walk but its just the same wherever you go you just wish the ghost was gone So you make some calls but its talking while you're wanting to go you're just ringing phones for fun You can always make a new excuse to cry but you don't have to use it on yourself |
| So why spend your sadness now save it up for me on Sunday and why is lonely all you have when love is what you'll find on Sunday |
| You might guard your heart but its awfully fun to have it brokena or at least to leave a bruise It becomes an art though the rules of which are rarely spoken by the lucky ones who can choose So your pain becomes another souvenir and your souvenirs become your world |
| So why spend your sadness now save it up for me on Sunday and why is lonely all you have when love is what you'll find on Sunday |
| Why spend your sadness now save it up for me on Sunday and why is lonely all you have when love is what you'll find on Sunday |
| Will She Just Fall Down |
| Album: Welcome
home |
| I'd like to take her home but no one walks where she does she goes into the cold wearing two unmatched gloves |
| Is it that (a change of scene is all she needs) Maybe it's (something she works out alone) And if I don't hold her up will she just fall down? |
| She says she feels fine she says she feels right at home but I can hear her cry when I leave the room oh |
| Is it that (a change of scene is all she needs) Maybe it's (something she works out alone) And if I don't hold her up will she just fall down? |
| Well, some essential part is missing that I just can't replace I know that these things are a matter of grace |
| And on her birthday I'll get a watch to keep her time and I'll stay up with her when she forgets to wind it |
| Is it that (a change of scene is all she needs) Maybe it's (something she works out alone) She says that (she only needs a change of heart) Too bad that (parts alone are not enough) And if I don't hold her up and if I don't hold her up and if I don't hold her up will she just fall down? |
| David denies |
| Album: Welcome
home |
| It's what he wants but he won't say he'd rather make-believe I want to say goodbye It's down to her although I know she never made him happy now she makes him cry |
| He cannot work he cannot think beyond the guilt he has for leaving her alone I'm going down I cannot breathe he doesn't think to leave me anything at all |
| David denies that he'll ever change his mind (but he always changes) David denies - but he's left his love behind (left his love behind) |
| It's what he wants I'm almost sure and I can hardly stand him saying it's not so and so I'll wait and so I'll hope somehow I can convince him not to let me go |
| David denies that he'll ever change his mind (but he always changes) David denies - but he's left his love behind (left his love behind) |
| David denies that he'll ever change his mind (but he always changes) David denies - but he's left his love behind (left his love behind) |
| David denies that he'll ever change his mind (but he always changes) David denies - but he's left his love behind (left his love behind) |
| and so I'll wait and so I'll hope somehow I can convince him and so I'll wait and so I'll hope somehow I can convince him not to let me go |
| Lover's day |
| Album: Welcome
home |
| We're so close but I just can't ruin everything I ever planned I've got no room for guilt this year I'm trying hard to keep my conscience clear and it's clear but he knows just what he wants today and I could just let it happen - yeah the more I think the worse I guess the more I guess the worse I am |
| (no, no, do not stay) there's no such thing as lover's day (run, run, run away) there's no such thing as lover's day |
| I want to see him right up close I want to find out everything he knows but everything come's back to you there's no way to betray and still be true and it's true but he knows just what he wants today and I could just let it happen the more I think the worse I guess the more I guess the worse I am |
| (no, no, do not stay) there's no such thing as lover's day (run, run, run away) there's no such thing as lover's day |
| (no, no, do not stay) there's no such thing as lover's day (run, run, run away) there's no such thing as lover's day |
| there's no such thing as lover's day there's no such thing as lover's day there's no such thing as lover's day |
| there's no such thing there's no such thing there's no such thing as lover's |
| Have Mercy |
| Album: Welcome
home |
| He made me feel so second-best I never should have let him do it but when he makes his pretty mess somehow you just fall into it |
| Have mercy on him the love that I gave him is gone Have mercy on him the love that I saved for him is gone |
| He wasn't just another touch he was something I created and though I loved him much too much I never thought my love was wasted |
| Have mercy on him the love that I gave him is gone Have mercy on him the love that I saved for him is gone |
| How do you know who you should blame? You spend your love, or you conserve it It's hard to hear him curse my name at least I know I don't deserve it |
| Have mercy on him the love that I gave him is gone Have mercy on him the love that I saved for him is gone |
| The love that I saved for him is gone |
| Sleeping and Waking |
| Album: Welcome
home |
| Just for the record you ought to know that I love you cause the damage that you've done I know you still could do So fun time is over and I guess it's enough oh but just for the record it was a little to rough |
| All that night when I looked for you without a word to say knowing that I was looking through the longest night the longest day |
| Sleeping and waking is the hardest thing to do when you are taking every dream I had of you Sleeping and waking |
| Tell me what love is or rather what you expected because I've often wondered what you did not get When all through the town I heard your heart beating wrong I felt the sickness come on I knew that you were gone |
| So now I'm left with an empty bed what a place to stay saying things that were never said through the longest night, the longest day |
| Sleeping and waking is the hardest thing to do when you are taking every dream I had of you |
| Sleeping and waking is the hardest thing to do when you are taking every dream I had of you Sleeping and waking sleeping and waking sleeping and waking makes the longest night the longest night the longest night the longest day |
| Angels Never Call |
| Album: Welcome
Home ('Til Tuesday) |
| I used to watch her sleep an angel on vacation I fell in love so deep far too far to mention She looked just like a thousand stars when they came out at night but when I looked inside her heart I found it locked up tight |
| Oh angels never help you cause angels always fall |
| She smoked a cigarette it only blurred my vision I couldn't help but stay with my first impression I'm wondering with every breath what caused my fall from grace I guess I beat myself to death against her lovely face |
| Oh angels never help you cause angels always fall |
| and angels (it's simply that I never knew her) sometimes kiss you (wish to God that I had known) oh but angels (but everything that I remember) never call (is gone) |
|
Oh angels (it's simply that I never knew her) |
| and angels (it's simply that I never knew her) sometimes kiss you (wish to God that I had known) oh but angels (but everything that I remember) never call (is gone) |
| I used to watch her sleep - an angel on vacation... |
| No One Is Watching You Now |
| Album: Welcome
home |
| Same town as its ever been if there's changes somewhere they've occurred from within Streets pass and hold up to me every corner defined by the places you'd be |
| but no one is watching you now no one is watching you now like I did |
| Even the longest of days you could make disappear by the look on your face We used to drive into town and the eyes of the girls followed you all around |
| but no one is watching you now I know no one is watching you now like I did |
| Forty-eight hours pass and I'm longing to stay Forty-eight hours pass and watching you, watching you is ages away |
| Something has torn me apart oh but what do I care about watching my heart I know that sadness bleeds through and my sadness for me is now sadness for you |
| cause no one is watching you now I know no one is watching you now No one is watching you now like I did |
