In the din of a smokey place
She stared a hole right through my face
I didn't have a thing to say
But it really wouldn't have mattered much anyway
It seems like now so long ago
Her eyes showed me all I'd ever know
When all the people came and went
And to the end she was silent
No, don't speak
Twitches tell of love and hate
But words do not communicate
Her body is the language high
And the mammals all seem to know why
For subtleties cannot be known
Until they can be truly shown
And all the trying whispered lies
Cower behind trembling eyes
No, don't speak
Right up to now from yesterday
She never found another way
For an animal it's hard won trust
Beyond fear and beyond lust
It's worth the violence to me
To live outside captivity
Without the reassuring sound
Under which the truth is drowned
No, don't speak

Well I've been stranded in this town
I don't know if I've ever been this far down
It always seems there's just a little more
Underneath the basement floor
Well I should leave, I should leave today
I don't know who would notice I was gone anyway
You know that pressure has just begun
Get out the way and let that river run
Let that river run, on and on
Somewhere beyond the setting sun
Let that river run, on and on
What can you say, what's done is done
Well how's the drugs, the booze and the sex
Well do you know of something I might try next
How come you never have anything to say
Tell me you love me, like back in the day
Give me a call, yeah drop me a line
Maybe later we'll pretend it's fine
This way of living has taken it's toll
Get out the way and let that river roll
Let that river run, on and on
Somewhere beyond the setting sun
Let that river run, on and on

Lost

Where have I been
These seven years and more
Well I don't remember much
I was found near the shore
I've wandered this land
Finally to your door
And nothing's familiar
I don't know anymore
When I missed the boat
But we still had to cross
In those frigid waters
Hope was lost
So now you tell me
And it's just like a dream
I can almost believe
That it's just what it seems
Now you hold my hand
And we speak of fate
As we walk through the night
So dark and so late
When I missed the boat
But we still had to cross
In those frigid waters
Hope was lost
You didn't get what you wanted
And could no longer wait
Well I guess I was lucky
I was sparred in a way

Your Place

I walk the streets
From the hill to the oceanside
Along the tracks
To where I stay
The streets are vacant
And I don't know a soul
Still in town
On this holiday
But here she comes
Walking straight at me
I'll look to the ground
And scurry away
For I am a shadow
And she is the light
She burns so bright
That I could never say
How I'm so far from my home star
Where I fell from grace
It's been so long, how could it be wrong
To take me to your place
I heard my name
And swallowed my pride
She took my hand
And she smiled
For I'm so far from my home star
Where I fell from grace
It's been so long, how could it be wrong
To take me to your place

Take Me

As we drift on
Oceans are waiting
The moon flies over
The gun black night
If you think you're hearing the ghosts
Then you possibly may be right
Take whatever you can take
Stolen along the way
Make whatever you can make
Of my desire my soul
Screaming with my eyes
Take me
It's like the clouds
Rolling in overhead
Like the damp leaves where
We made our bed
Close your eyes can you see me now
In the sunsets electric light
For all of the years that to you I was dead
I'll sing you sad songs for the tears that were shed
When we will sit on the back porch again
Don't know how, don't know when
Take whatever you can take
Stolen along the way
Make whatever you can make
Of my desire my soul
Screaming with my eyes
Take me
