@SONG: MR. SOMEWHERE

Day comes up sicker than a cat
Something's wrong that is that 

Mr. Somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much 

A boat from the river takes you out
'cross the other side of town, to get out, to get out
You take the tide, any tide, any tide
like there isn't gonna be any tide 

Mr. Somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere never did figure just how much 

A world like tomorrow wears things out
It's hard enough to get what's yours for now
And the hardest words are spoken softly
Softly look, no hands upon 

Mr. Somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere never did figure just how much 

Now the milkman beats you to the door
That was once a home, home no more
Mr. Somewhere, missing somewhere couldn't get the calendar to stop
Missing somewhere, never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere, never will admit just how much 

@SONG: WITH TOMORROW

It was more like a dream than reality
I must have thought it was a dream while you were here with me
When you were near I didn't think you would leave
When you were gone it was too much to believe 

So with tomorrow, I will borrow
Another moment of joy and sorrow
And another dream, and another
With tomorrow 

So with the sun there won't be time just to look behind
There will be reasons not exclusions for my place of mind
There was so much I was told, it was not real
So many things that I could not taste, but I could feel 

So with tomorrow, I will borrow
Another moment of joy and sorrow
In another dream, and another
With tomorrow 

@SONG: YOU AND YOUR SISTER

You say my love for you's not real
But you don't know how real it feels
All I want to do is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you 

Your sister says that I'm no good
I'd reassure her if I could
All I want to do is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you 

Friends fail every day
I want to hear you say
Your love won't be leaving
Your eyes aren't deceiving 

Fears will soon fade away
Smile now, don't be afraid
All I want to do is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you 

So let me whisper in your ear
Don't you worry they can't hear
All I want to do is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you 

@SONG: NATURE'S WAY

It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
It's nature's way of telling you in a song
It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong 

It's nature's way of telling you through the breeze
It's nature's way of telling you dying trees
It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong 

It's nature's way
It's nature's way
It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
It's nature's way of telling you in a song
[oh-oh-woah]
It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong 

@SONG: I COME AND STAND AT EVERY DOOR

I come and stand at every door
but no-one hears my silent prayer
I knock and yet remain unseen
for I am dead, for I am dead 

I'm only seven although I've died
in Hiroshima long ago
I'm seven now as I was then
when children die they do not grow 

My hair was scorched by swirling flame
my eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
Death came and turned my bones to dust
and that was scattered by the wind 

I need no fruit, I need no rice
I need no sweet, nor even bread
I ask for nothing for myself
for I am dead, for I am dead 

All that I ask is that for peace
you fight today, you fight today
so that the children of this world
may live and grow, and laugh and play 


@SONG: SEVERAL TIMES

Several times I saw you
in your eyes 
several times I saw you
wishing to stop this 

Ways much longer than
that we could see before
we started to walk
well actually we tried to go forward 

Several times I saw you
in your eyes 
several times I saw you
wishing to stop this 

@SONG: LATE NIGHT

When I woke up today
And you weren't there to play
Then I wanted to be with you
When you showed me your eyes
Whispered love at the skies
Then I wanted to stay with you 

Inside me I feel, alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me 

When I lay still at night 
Seeing stars high and light
Then I wanted to be with you
When the rooftops shone dark
All alone saw a spark
Spark of love just to stay with you 

Inside me I feel, alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me 

If I mention your name
Turn around on a chain
Then the sky opens up for you
When we grew very tall
When I saw you so small
Then I wanted to stay with you 

Inside me I feel, alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me 

Inside me I feel, alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me 

@SONG: HELP ME LIFT YOU UP

I don't know how to tell you that you're all alone
do what you will do not go home
you'll have to be with your won kind
I'll have to stay with my own kind
Help me lift you up
Help me lift you up 

Sorry if I can't stop pretending
so sorry if I don't let you go
like this, but not like this is ending
I think you know, I think you know
Help me lift you up
Help me lift you up 

I have a dream - it's very clear
you're all around, but never near
Help me lift you up
Help me lift you up 

@SONG: CAROLYN'S SONG

I heard that you said that you feel all alone
Do you think that they could understand
When they told you go ahead 

Is it in your head are you upside down
You drive around feeling sad 

And I wish you everything I ever said 
Do you understand, are you feeling dead?
Are you lost, are you sad?
Did I leave you alone?
Do you think that I don't understand?
What it's like to feel all alone ? 

@SONG: 'TIL I GAIN CONTROL

Just like the sun over the mountain top
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning times
Like sunlight dancing on your skin 

What you see is what I've been
There is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I can
Out on the roads that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
'til I can gain control again 

Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
And mark a sailor's journey's end
Nno matter what seas I have been sailing on
I'll always row this way again 

Out on the roads that lie before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
'til I can gain control again 

I only hope that you can hold me now
'til I can gain control again 

@SONG: I AM THE COSMOS

Every night I tell myself "I am the cosmos
I am the wind"
But that don't bring you back again
Just when I was starting to feel okay
You're on the phone
I never wanna be alone
Never wanna be alone
I hate to have to take you home
Want you too much to say no, no 

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Never wanna be alone
I hate to have to take you home
Want you too bad to say no, no 

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah 

My feelings always happening something organized
I can't confide
Don't know what's going on inside
So every night I tell myself "I am the cosmos
I am the wind"
But that don't bring you back again
I'd really like to see you again
I really want to see you again
I'd really like to see you again
[that don't bring you back again]
I really want to see you again
I'd really like to see you again
I really want to see you again
I'd really like to see you again
[that don't bring you back again]
I'd really like to see you again
I know I'd like to see you again
I never want to see you again 

@SONG: (NOTHING but) BLOOD

should have been enough to change your mind
could have been enough to take your breath away
