The Shame of My Hope

I met a man when I came to the crossing
It didn't take long before we were in love
He used me for singing I used him for dancing
He knew how to talk and I knew how to listen up
With metals and empties and our hollow bodies
We filled up the whole neighborhood with our noise
Songs wrote for no one, I said, but kept dreaming
Sitting alone with the shame of my hope
And all we saw was nothing
And all we knew was
Well I never learned how to play the piano
Even though I always wanted to know
Maybe there's time now my gray hairs are growing
Maybe that's part of the shame of my hope
And all I see is nothing
And all I know is

Well it's 3 o'clock in Tucson, 4 o'clock in France
It's 5 o'clock and I'm only just now puttin on my pants
6 o'clock in New York, just barely gettin dark
But it's always 9 o'clock here in my heart
Well I love me the nightlife, I live for livin' fast
Love to waste my nights away and forget about the past
Even though my days are spent tearin myself apart
It's always 9 o'clock here in my heart
Well it's 5 AM in boston, and I'm startin to feel the pain
Woke up in a gutter I was screamin out your name
I know the world is ending and I sure have done my part
But it's always 9 o'clock here in my heart

Light in the Woods

Oooh, walking all alone, tangled, overgrown
I drifted out of time, and wandered off the line
Warmth, joy, and mystery, between the fallen trees
A beacon in the night, electric candlelight
Can you get me by
Can you help me shine
Can you get me by
Help the sparks ignite
You're makin me believe in more than what I see
The beauty and the art, the flashes in the dark
Can you get me by
Can you help me shine
Can you get me by
Help the sparks ignite

Moonlight Sonata
02:10

I couldn't touch it with a ten foot pole
Working backwards til there's nothing left
A whole world that I never knew
A change of heart that I'm goin through
I said I'm ready for whatever's next
You know I lied cuz you're feeling the same
A slow train left the station
About a hundred years ago
I remember a world
That was never true
Where the grass was too green
And the sky was so blue
Woke up this morning feeling all my years
I don't know what I been feeling at all
Moonlight Sonata playing in my head
And I've got to let it out, let it out

If It Ain't Broke

After the walk
We fall apart
Our feet don't reach the ground
But if it ain't broke don't go changing
Behind it all
Under the wall
We dug for what we found
And if it ain't broke don't go changing
Hold me tightly
Walk beside me
The up and down
Forgotten sounds
There's one that skipped away
If it ain't broke don't go changin
The equinox
The sweet and soft
We knew we had it all
And if it ain't broke don't go changing
