I Don’t Want to Change Your Mind

Soon you say you’ll go away
Cause there’s a place we’d never find
I don’t want to make you stay
And I don’t want to change your mind
I don’t want to change your mind
But I was hoping for a little feeling
In the absence of more time
Don’t you think it’s more appealing
Than to leave this all behind?
If you’re flowing like a river
To a hill you’ve got to climb
I don’t want to keep you here
And I don’t want to change your mind
I don’t want to change your mind
I don’t want to change your mind
But I was hoping for a little feeling
In the absence of more time
Don’t you think it’s more appealing
Than to leave this all behind?
Your freedom is all you own
There’s nothing left for me to give you
But I was hoping for a little feeling
In the absence of more time
Don’t you think it’s more appealing
Than to leave this all behind?
Soon you say you’ll go away
Cause there’s a place you’ve got to find
I don’t want to make you stay
And I don’t want to change your mind
I don’t want to change your mind
I don’t want to change your mind
I don’t want to change your mind

Don’t Know Why

I waited till I saw the sun
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I left you by the house of fun
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But you’ll be on my mind forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstacy
But I’ll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone
My heart is drenched in wine
But you’ll be on my mind forever
Something has to make you run
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come

Waiting for Something

In the garden with a glass of wine
You could sit there for awhile or till the end of time
And no one’s leaving, nobody goes
And a girl walks by alone with a single rose
No news, nothing new
Waiting for something, what’s the use?
When…
The sun is sinking behind the towers
Casting rays of crimson light through the closing hours
So much beauty in that light
But it’s dark down here below on the earth tonight
No news, nothing new
Waiting for something, waiting for something
Waiting for something, what’s the use?
When…
A million people walk the street
Pounding hopes into the ground underneath their feet
For a reason, but who can say?
If the season lets you down, will you call it fate?
No news, nothing new
Waiting for someting, waiting for something
Waiting for something, what’s the use?
When…
In the garden with a glass of wine
You could sit there for awhile or till the end of time
You could sit there for awhile or till the end of time
You could sit there for awhile or till the end of time
You could sit there for awhile or till the end of time

There’s Nothing I Can Do

There’s nothing I can do
There’s nothing I can do
To get close to you
To get close to you
I shouldn’t even try
I shouldn’t even try
I shouldn’t even try
Still I wonder why
There’s nothing I can do
There’s nothing I can do
To get close to you
To get close to you
I shouldn’t even cry
I shouldn’t even cry
I shouldn’t even cry
Still I wonder why
In my dreams I can fly
Through the clouds
Or I can die
But there’s nothing I can do
To get close to you
I shouldn’t even try
I shouldn’t even try
I shouldn’t even try
Still I wonder why
There’s nothing I can do
To get close to you

A Changing End

I’ve sent out more correspondence
Much more than I’ve received
I wish that I could hear the chorus
Just to know what they sing for us
They all know how we should be
But they’re not in proximity
When you find that change is constant
Will you shun complacency
And drift away upon four wheels
Across the earth until you feel
You’ve found a place you’ll always heal?
But wait…
Won’t you have to move again?
Won’t you have to move?
Won’t you have to move again?
You’ll have to find a changing end
When you find that change is constant
Will you shun complacency
And drift away upon four wheels
Across the earth until you feel
You’ve found a place you’ll always heal?
But wait…
Won’t you have to move again?
Won’t you have to move?
Won’t you have to move again?
You’ll have to find a changing end

It’s Alright to Fail

Out on the corner you look so pale
Your ghost is wandering home
But oh, baby, it’s alright to fail
Your tongue is twisted
Your teeth are nails
They drove your voice in your throat
But oh, baby, it’s alright to fail
Tell me, don’t leave
Tell me, tell me
Your heart is beating
I hear it pound
If you’ve got something to say
Oh, baby, please don’t let me down
Tell me, don’t leave
Tell me, tell me
The night is coming
I hear the wail of people crying alone
But oh, baby, it’s alright to fail
Oh, baby, it’s alright to fail

Soon

Stay if you want and hide
Stay cause it’s cold outside
But soon, soon…
You’ll tell me this place is safe
And tell me you still have faith
But soon, soon…
The melody that sounds so cruel, so mean
Will turn into a playful tune and set you free
Stay if the forces pull
Stay cause the moon is full
But soon, soon…
The melody that sounds so cruel, so mean
Will turn into a playful tune and set you free
The melody that sounds so cruel, so mean
Will turn into a playful tune and set you free

I Can’t Let Go

It’s already morning
And I haven’t slept
There’s no use in trying
I just can’t forget
I guess you didn’t notice
Through your windowpane
Me down in the alley
Standing in the rain
I can’t let go
It hurts me so
I can’t let go
Someone else’s shadow
Moved across your wall
And I still remember
Even as I fall…
Waking up beside you
My arm around your waist
Pulling me in closer
To your sleeping face
I can’t let go
It hurts me so
I can’t let go
Now my window’s dirty
Everything looks grey
Even if it’s sunny
I just look away
I just look away
I just look away
