Adrift
Ever since we said our
goodbyes
The onion rings, the
phone makes me cry
Something isn't right
Like the Deep Blue without
the Great White
In the morning open your
eyes
The waterfalls, the fire
flies
You're an abacus
And my heart was counting
on us
Your heart's got a heavy
load
There's still a long
way to go
Keep your eyes on the
road
Crescent moon sings me
to sleep
The birches bark, the
willows weep
But I lie awake
I'm adrift without a
snowflake
Your heart's got a heavy
load
There's still a long
way to go
Keep your eyes on the
road
Your heart's got a heavy
load
There's still a long
way to go
Keep your eyes on the
road
Sound Of Your Voice
The moon is full but
there is an incompleteness
The days are beautiful
but I feel a bitter sweetness
If I had a wish, or even
a choice
I'd wake up to the sound
of your voice
How I miss waking up
to the sound of your voice
I let you down and fell
right off of your good list
I hope each day you'll
find peace and forgiveness
The alarm clock rings,
What a lonely noise
And I long for the sound
of your voice
Oh, how I miss waking
up to the sound of your voice
Take it from me: there's
not much to see
In this void
The saying goes there
will be other dances (don't give up)
This little song is about
second chances
Just say the word and
I will rejoice
And wake up to the sound
of your voice
Oh, how I miss waking
up to the sound
To the sound (sound)
To the sound (to the
sound)
To the sound
Waking up to the sound
of your voice
Take it from me: there's
not much to see
In this void
Home
Side of the road, I stopped
and
Picked up the pieces
of your car
You were just standing,
speechless
Knowing you'd never travel
far
That's what you do when
someone's given up on you
And that's when I knew
that I was giving up and giving in
That's when I knew where
I was
That's when I knew that
I was home
Stuck in the middle of
the road
For better or worse,
we compromise
You may have won my hand,
dear
But it was the consolation
prize
That's when I knew that
I was running out on you
That's what you do when
time is running out and running down
That's when I knew where
I was
That's when I knew that
I was home
Where does the heart reside
If not where I lay my
head?
I could run but I'm petrified
And choose this instead
Again and again
End of the road I'm running
And look back to survey
where I'd been
Someday I'll write and
ask you
If you could imagine
what I'd seen
How could you think that
I could turn my back on you?
How did you think this
would be turning out? And turning 'round
What could I do but you?
What could I do to call
this home?
That's when I knew where
I was
That's when I knew that
I was home |
Bank
Job
It was an upset in two
minutes flat
We were back on the freeway,
foot to the mat
I can't understand it;
we had it down pat
It's very upsetting,
could we leave it at that?
We all had positions;
we each had a role
We'd over-rehearsed it;
we had full control
They can't teach you
acting, it's there in your soul
It's the same with a
bank job, and each thing we stole
So I don't need attitude
Cause you knew just what
to do
We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone
Wait by the phone
I was the driver; you
ran the show
You had the last word,
the go or no go
I knew every laneway
in Ontario
But it's not what you're
sure of, it's what you don't know
It should have been filled
with the usual ones
Throwing their cash into
mutual funds
We all had our ski masks
and sawed-off shotguns
But how do you plan for
a bank full of nuns?
Well, I guess we panicked
- we all have taboos
And they were like zebras;
they had us confused
We should be in condos
with oceanfront views
Instead we're most-wanted
on the six o'clock news
So I don't need attitude
Cause you knew just what
to do
We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone
And wait by the phone
Inside the police car
you tried to explain
your crisis of conscience;
the voice in your brain
And now that the whole
thing has gone down the drain
I think we all know who
should shoulder the blame
Cause you made a choice
there, almost sublime
I'm all for compassion,
just not on my dime
You looked like an amateur,
and that's the real crime
So I'll take a walk now,
and you do the time
And I don't need attitude
Cause you knew just what
to do
We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone
There's no need to phone
We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone
We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Easy
What's a boy to do
When you tell your tale
And, it never fails
I just end up feeling
bad for you
With your hang-dog eyes
You can bring me down
Now I'm wrapped around
your whole hand
Stop looking so surprised
You make it easy (easy)
You make it easy (easy)
I've been burned before
You're not fooling me
There's no mystery
You've forgotten what
you're hiding for
Call it self-defence
You can obfuscate
And manipulate
But it's only at your
own expense
You make it easy (easy)
You make it easy (easy)
You make it easy (easy)
You make it easy (easy)
Easy to be with you
Easy to obey
Easy to forgive you at
the end of the day
Easy now to judge you
Easy to betray
Easy to adore you, though
you want to run away
It's easy
Look what you have done
I can do the same
Two can play this game
You'll no longer be the
only one
You make it easy (easy)
You make it easy (easy)
You make it easy (easy)
Easy (easy)
