Hourglass
02:45

|

There’s a flavor on my tongue
Of the long thin line of smoke
Blowing away
And the telephone has done
All it can to bridge this run
You’re runnin’ away
So I call it a day
The sun it falls in
The pond of sand
That’s in my hand
Would you believe it if I said
How I knew this day would come
Just didn’t know when
But I’m proud I banged my head
Against the wall of things between
What might have been
Now we are what might have been
The sun it falls in
The pond of sand
That stands between us now
The hourglass is the same
It’s we that change
Swirling down and down
We go ‘round and ‘round
And I’m upside down
As you fly ‘round town
And I run aground
And we all go down
If you want to find me now
After all this sand fell down
And it took this ship down
And if you want another round
Flip the hourglass

You
04:03
|
|

You see the world
With eyes so clear
Beauty before me unfurled
And I wish that I was near
You
And I believe in all
The things you see
For what it means you’ll see
That I can only see
You
You tell me to go and you say
That I believe too much in you
Well nothing you say or do
Could make my heart believe that’s
True
And now that I’ve been gone
There’s a sun that shines anew
But something is missing
From my life and I know that it is
You

Little Squaw
04:31

All your life little squaw
You never heard ‘goodbye’
And all the loves in your past
You never had to try
And all the days in the sun
You never wondered why
But I care
Yesterday in your eyes
You know I see it there
And leeward sails face the skies
You know I see you there
And if you tried or not little squaw
You know I still could care
And I care
All the men who came by
They never saw inside
They never heard you confide
Your beauty’s just a ride
Well I’m not gonna be satisfied
‘Til your heart’s laid open wide
To my care

Come To My Island
03:12
|
|
||
You always were the one
The one who cried
You said you’d give it all
I guess you lied
You always envied
The girls who left their homes
To follow their true love
Now who’s alone?
So come to my island
Where we can be alone
We will last forever
Forever we’ll sail on
You always said
I was a dream
But you have changed
Or so it seems
‘Cause just when I want
You to see
Don’t you know I’m asking you
To come and live with me
So come to my island
Where we can be alone
We will last forever
Forever we’ll sail on

Give to me Tonight
02:32
|
|
||
Spare me
Your apologies
Tonight
Come with me now
I know it’s right
Give to me
Tonight
Your heart
I want our heart
All of your heart
Give to me
The days
We’ve wasted
Along the line
Of time
Give to me
Tonight
Your soul…

Drift of Snow
03:13
|
|
||
You are so soft
I have no answer for you
You are a drift of snow
I can’t play for you
I have no easy way out
You are a drift of snow
When you kissed me today
I felt the pain of years just blow away
You are a drift of snow
This is the song no one can hear
I have but one way now I can go
No one can ever know
