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)
never help you (wish to God that I had known)
cause angels (but everything that I remember)
always fall (is gone)

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
