Still the Tulips

There were stars in the kitchen of my heart
And we swilled wine like lifeblood, sacredly
Will you remember when you've grown old?
And all your friends have gone on home?
I'm not asking for you to stay here
There's no here here anymore
All the stars are spreading faster than your memory can run
But still the tulips
And still the time
There are scars on the seashores of our love
But just like glass, they're smoothened by the tides
And I am sorry I let you down
And made things harder for you now
I'm not asking for you to stay here
There's no here here anymore
All the currents in all the oceans cannot bring back what was lost
But still the tulips
And still the time
(Oooo)
There's a car on a train that never stops
Its windows show the things that we have dreamed
And there's a station where no one waits
To see the light grow through the haze
I'm not asking for you to stay here
There's no here here anymore
But it won't matter ‘cause I'll remember
'Til they come to take me home
But still the miles
Still the miles
Still the miles

Wave

Watch the miles pass before your eyes
See the blue horizon birth the sky
But even when you're far away
Even when you're far away
Even when you lie awake at night
You can feel it
Can you feel it
Moving in the dark
Can you feel it
You can feel
There's a river under the ocean
Where your secrets
Flow into a toxic wave
It'll shoot you up from the ocean
And leave you stranded
Cold as midnight running through your veins
Buried flowers poison all your dreams
You try to multiply the space between
But even when you're far away
Even when you're far away
Even when you lie awake at night
You can feel it
Can you feel it
Moving in the dark
Can you feel it
You can feel
There's a river under the ocean
Where your secrets
Flow into a toxic wave
It'll shoot you up from the ocean
And leave you stranded
Cold as midnight in your veins
Feel you can feel
It runs and you run from a vision of
Far far away

Goodbye Juliet
05:08
|
|||

If perfection is a dream, I'm waking up
To find my life is strewn with broken hearts
If romance means betraying what you've got for what you don't
Call me Juliet
I don't know if I can make it one more time
I need you if I'm gonna make it one more time
When morning falls I'm haunted by the night
Whose curtain hides my crimes against the sunlight
With poison on my lips I walked away
A living Juliet
I don't know if I can make it one more time
I need you if I'm gonna make it one more time
I don't know if I can make it one more time
I need you if I'm gonna make it
So take me if you will into your arms
And build with me a fire to keep the dark away
We'll stay up 'til the twilight starts to fade, then send her off
Goodbye Juliet
I don't know if I can make it one more time
I need you if I'm gonna make it one more time
I don't know if I can make it one more time
I need you if I'm gonna make it one more time
When you look the other way, Juliet won't go away
When you look her in the eye, Juliet will wave goodbye

Into the Hurricane
04:55
|

Out on the edge the wind is coming
Under my skin as on the sea
Are you strong, will you stay when I lose control?
Look me in the eye and tell me so
I'm on my way into the hurricane
And I may lose my way so don't let go
I'm on my way into the hurricane
And I may lose my way so don't let go
Enter the storm the wild is thrumming
Is it a sin to be this free?
Don't you back away, I wanna lose control
Look into the eye and you will know
That I'm on my way into the hurricane
And I may lose my way so don't let go
I'm on my way into the hurricane
And I may lose my way so don't let go
Stay with me, don't look back
Time's waiting on a different track
I'm on my way

Better Days Ahead
07:42
|

When it's all on the line and there's no going back
The only way is to put one foot in front of the other
When you're feeling low and your thoughts are turning back
Another day is still a chance to love one another
But if you don't take it, it's not gonna wait around
You gotta go and get it and that's okay
If this isn't where you wanna be
Just remember what I said
Even when it's impossible to see
You know there are better days ahead
When you've fallen down and there's no one to lend a hand
You'll pick yourself up and keep on going
'Cause the way you've gotta go is the way you understand
The way you'll understand without even knowing
But don't just take my word for it, you've gotta see it for yourself
You wanna get up and go, and that's okay
If this isn't where you wanna be
Just remember what I said
Even when it's impossible to see
You know there are better days ahead
'Cause the end is not the end, it's just a start
No the end is not the end, it's just a start
The end is not the end, it's just a start

Shine a Light
02:30

So the miles have drawn you here
A Sunday drive, a lake of tears
But stars that wink in loving eyes
Fall into hearts that open wide
So shine a light and clear the dark away
Soon the night will bring the day
As tulips red in spring will grow
From seeds that dream beneath the snow
If every smile and kindness shared
Were gathered up into the air
A sky of glittering wind would glow
With love that only heaven knows
So shine a light and clear the dark away
Soon the night will bring the day
As tulips red in spring will grow
From seeds that dream beneath the snow
