Blue And Blue

To be alone in love with you
"You're not the only one" she said and thought it true
"They're queuing up around the block" I said
"I know" she said as if with a full stop
"Stay on your toes" she said
I slept in my clothes instead
One in a million in your opinion
Through and through my heart grew and grew
With heaven sending a sorry ending
Blue and blue but it's what you do
And when I called you on the phone
I bet you thought it was because my mind was blown
I told you that you had to go
I told you everything that you wanted to know
"You'll live to regret" she said
"You're out of your tiny head"
And everything you do is you and you and you
Your one thousand yard stare
Your Judy Garland hair
As if I care for a love affair with you you you
My heart blew and blew
Cos if you never find forever
It finds you and you'll know it's true

Orion

There should be birds in here but there's not
There should be lights outside but there's not
We can do anything
We can go anywhere
You should be living here but you're not
Tonight is yours and mine Orion
People should be in awe but they're not
They should be on the floor but they're not
Me looking like Jimmy Dean
You in every magazine
We should be king and queen but we're not
Say you wanna live today and that you wanna move away
But how you gonna live today when everything you do or say is in the sky?
Orion
All that I can do now is walk away
All that I can be now is far away
Orion
Tonight is yours and mine Orion
Tonight I'll change your mind Orion

Into You

I didn't wanna know it
It's banging down my door
Closer and I see it
Impossible to ignore
So I hang my head and I breathe out a lie
Maybe if I just try but I can't promise that
And you might say what i should have said yesterday
And you might say what I wanna say
I didn't wanna love you
But it's too late for that
Close enough to show it
But there's no going back
Now I can't go on when there's too much to say
So I'll keep it together and keep you away
I'm longing for the inside
But there's no sense in that
Why can't I take one more day without more of this?
Leaving gets harder to take now you're gone and I can't wait
I can't wait
(How can I try to escape it?
When I try I just keep falling into
But I'm scared to admit and risk losing all this
So I leave but I keep falling into
Into you)

My Elusive Friend

Totally wired and under inspired I am alone
Here in the darkness the cold eats the harmless it finds a home
I am a person and like any person I need to love
I'm down on my knees but it's moments like these that I soar
So hold on my elusive friend til the end
Just hold on my elusive friend til the end
Be aware
Say a prayer
Just hold on
And show me a way I can see yesterday I don't wanna look
Cos I have worked hard to pay past no regard and to close the book
I am a person and like any person I'm here and now
Cos thinking up futures and what they might do to us kills
Just hold on
And maybe in time I can transcend the mind and put it aside
Cos living with it and it's continuous shit I just can't abide
I am a person and like any person I should be free
Free from myself and away from the shelf and outside
Hold on
