When you hold so tight
that you can't let go
freeze like a hare in the light
and the love just won't flow
I would run a mile
not to run into myself
I am like a book you'll never read
been too long on your shelf
I am like a book you'll never read
i haven't read it myself
this moment is a fairy on a flower
impossible and subtle as a dream
too busy wondering when we're going to get there
trying to figure out where we've been.
I would run a mile
not to run into myself
I am like a book you'll never read
been too long on your shelf
i am like a book you'll never read
i haven't read it myself
So breathe in the love
breathe out the pain
So breathe in the love
breathe out the pain
try to walk a mile in another man's shoes
try to read a book you've never seen
lose what you've got to lose.
try and read a book you've never seen
what have you got to lose?
When your skin's too tight
and you don't know where to go
breathe in the light
and let the love flow
I have run a mile
and you have run the other way
we're all spinning round the same sun
at the end of the day
we're all spinning round the same sun
at the end of the day

What's Given

One life,
In trouble
In the bombed out city and I'm
up to my neck in trouble
and I don't understand
how it got to be such a mess
the feather falls from my hand
where it lands
is anyones guess
What a phase
what a maze
what a crazy, crazy time
that we live in
While we try to survive
no one gets out alive
that's the only given
In the dark
I wake up starving
like a knife that can slice through my heart
and it just keeps carving
I had always thought
I could stay in the game
I rode my wings to the sun
just to come down in flames
What a line
what a crime
what a lie to define
the way we're living.
What a strange state of mind to decline
what's freely given.
What a strange state of mind to decline
what's freely given
oh it's freely given
and it's your's and it's mine
and it doesn't belong
It's just one Eden
What a line
what a crime
what a lie to define
the way we're living.
While we try to survive
no one gets out alive
that's the only given.

Navigating by the Stars

We don't know wrong from right
nobody's shedding any light
the whole damn thing's so shady
All around the lines are down
there's a throne and an empty crown
oh my lady
Where do you hang your belief?
The oracles are lying through their teeth
it amazes me
The old ones slipping away
packing up, calling it a day
abandoned, they forsake me
Navigating by the stars
exploding in the endless
dark.
That's no way to find my way
if I'd known at the start
you were only born to break my heart
I would still give it away
I would still give it away
We don't know right from wrong
wrap it up
put it in a song
words cannot contain thee
I've been wrong before
a coracle, pushing off the shore
nothing to restrain the..
tides, and the undertow
give it up, give in to the flow
i pray to find my way.
Navigating by the stars
exploding in the endless
dark.
That's no way to find my way
if I'd known at the start
you were only born to break my heart
I would still give it away
I would still give it away

Spark in the Hay

Dried petunias in her hall
no use to wait for him to call
faded pictures on the wall
was he ever really there at all?
Woman and man in an ancient rite
spinning out to endless night
Wears his age like an apology
the man you know, I am no t he.
No one sees what used to be.
The moving finger points past me.
Oh my child, don't treat me this way
you burn through my heart
like a spark in the hay
Like a spark in the hay
Night come down
at the end of the day
it burns through my heart like a
spark in the hay
Dried petunias in her hall
no use to wait for him to call
faded pictures on the wall
was he ever really there at all?

Show You That I've Heard

I don't know my name
can you explain
what I'm doing?
How do i play this game
I have seen your face
in another place
in another time
I can't tell you how it shines
Even though I can't understand a word
I take your hand, child
just to show you that I've heard.
I wanna take you in my loving arms again
In my darkest hour
you are like a flower
in the city
like a smile on the morning train
I've seen through your eyes
tasted your surprise
shared in your fortune.
How did you get so beautiful and wise?
And even though you don't understand a word.
just take my hand, show me that you've heard
Oh now my children it's true
I wanna take you in my loving arms again.
I don't know my name
can you explain
what I'm doing?
How do i play this game
I have seen your face
in another place
in another time
I can't tell you how it shines
Even though I can't understand a word
I take your hand, child
just to show you that I've heard.
I wanna take you in my loving arms again
