Underneath the river down below
Lies a place that’s skeletal
I can hide but I can’t find
Find the answers in my mind
If there’s liars in my head
Singing songs with shades of red
Pull me out the safety pin
Watch it all just crumble in
Stick and stones could easily break my bones
But your words can build my home
If I can ask you one more thing
Give it time, give me time
‘Cause I have always been too late
Running round and round in faith
With twisted tongues I sit and wait
Until the day may come
But sweetly, I couldn’t change the life I knew
But maybe, next life will be the one that’s true
And I see, but I don’t believe, I can’t see, no…
Yesterday was a memory to free
A dance of promises to be
And heaven, heaven only knows
Where do I go, where do I go?
Do these stairs lead up or down
Or do they run around and 'round
With glasses broken on the ground
How can home be found?
But sweetly, I couldn’t change the life I knew
But maybe, next life will be the one with you
And I see, but I don’t believe, I can’t see, no…

Hopscotch Birdie

Hopscotch Birdie flew off today
Got lost in the wind with no place to stay
Grounded, she’s always skipping about
Tweeting and singing, all over town
Hopscotch Birdie, I miss you around
Clumsy little bird with your head in the moon
You’re missing all the worms, waking up past noon
Crazier than when I found you, you crazy little loon
Whenever I wake up early in the morning
I miss the song that you’d normally sing
Whenever I go home late into the night
I think about you and if you’re alright
And if ever you do decide to come back
With broken wings or a broken sad heart
I’ll be here waiting to tend all your wounds
Hopscotch Birdie, come back soon

Rainy Morning Blues
02:21
|

Another lazy raining soothing morning trickling down my window bay
Should I stay home today?
Just be a bum that way?
Well I’ve got the Rainy Morning Blues
Getting out of bed will be my greatest act of bravery today
Is that alarm still buzzing?
Annoyingly persistent!
Just snooze five minutes more away
Not crazy enough to leave this warm and cozy beautiful old blanket
And face the morning coldness
I’d rather dream than do this
And listen to the raindrops falling down
Wake Up
Sleep In
Well I’m sleeping in today
Suppose I should be studying ‘cause I am falling fast behind
Textbooks don’t read themselves
But TV needs my help
I owe it for shaping up my mind
Procrastinating everyday will make a better life tomorrow
So don’t get up so soon
I guess it’s only normal
We all get the Rainy Morning Blues
I don’t know
Do you?
Will you let me know?

Birthday Waltz
03:04

When the clock hits twelve tonight
And the sun rises
Another candle will be lit for you
And shine through the night
All your friends gather to see you
To celebrate your day
And they sing:
‘’Happy Birthday to you’’
‘’Happy Birthday to you’’
Champagne, gifts and little songs
Just for you
Big smiles in the hour after
Because of you
Forget your troubles and just listen
Can you hear us?
As we sing:
‘’Happy Birthday to you’’
‘’Happy Birthday to you’’
Oh, pesty little thoughts
What will be, will be
What we’ll be, we’ll see
Close, close your eyes and rest
Slip into a dream
Dream yourself to sleep
Please don’t you just fall down
When you have so much and
You don’t know how lucky you are
But for now, but for now
Before you leave me
I just wanted to say:
Happy Birthday to you

Distant Dreams
04:32
|

October fell so sweetly
Brought upon a light from you to me
All thoughts and fear, they melt away
Your head on my shoulder, I don’t feel astray
Tongue tied, but I’ll try, in East side, I don’t know why
I have to impress you and to you, I gotta prove
All the things I’m not, all the things you thought
Before you let me go, before you let me go.
I sought in hand the feel of your face
Not unlike your smile, there’s no mistake
Up upon the hill, you used to wait
To you I’m just a lark, a jester away
Numbers are falling, up away, I’ll run away
Under the surface, there’s more than I can say
I’m right before your eyes, right before your eyes
Only to watch you go, only to watch you go.
Sometimes the feelings creep back in my head
All the things I’ve said, and all the things unsaid
I lost a few of my closest friends
Just to be without you in the end
World wide collapse, city walls in fume
Still all I do, I do think of you
But my love is fraught, and useless in thought
Just emptiness to hold, just emptiness to hold
My love is one that weighed me down
Though I felt it all, it was placed with doubt
Years flow on by, all lost in stream
And my best days with you, all distant dreams
My love was one that weighed me down
Though I felt it all it was placed with doubt
Years fall apart all lost in stream
My best days with you, all distant dreams
