Without You 04:17
WITHOUT YOU Nothing will be quiet the same without you Because nothing is what life contains without you Will I fall over you? Will I die over you? I will never love again without you Because nothing ever lasts the way we say it should Will I fall over you? Will I die over you? Everything seems far away And I don’t know if I’m to blame Nothing is a strangers name without you Because nothing is what I’m to blame for doubting you Will I fall over you? Will I die over you? Everything seems far away And I don’t know if I’m to blame Everything you do might hurt a million times Everything you say might last a million years Because I fall over you And I die over you Everything seems far away And I don’t know if I’m to blame

Bluebirds 04:03
BLUEBIRDS Blackbirds never fly the way they should And bluebirds never sing the way they should And I don’t see any bird that’s dreaming out there And I don’t feel all the birds you spoke of out there ‘Cause bluebirds always say more than they should And blackbirds always go where they should not And I don’t see any angels fighting out there And I don’t see any angels falling out there, falling out there, falling out there Would you be mine if I can help you fly Can I be yours if you can help me die ‘Cause I don’t see any promises to hold on to, And I don’t see any angels flying out there, flying out there, flying out there, Would you be mine if I can help you fly Can I be yours if you can help me die

WILD MAY BE ROSES Wild may be roses And wild may be true So hold on to me, then ‘Cause I may be true And if you go doubting, Then hold on

LAZY PURPLE SKIES Would you be mine again, Would you be fine again, If I told you I would stay, If I told you I would lay here with you? Would you be all the things you said? Would you be kinder then, before you lay my head over your shoulder? Lay here with you. Would you be tender when we hurt? Would you be softer than we were before we started to get lazy, lazy TourouTourouTourouTou TourouTourouTourouTou TourouTourouTourouTou Would you be mine again, Would you be fine again? ‘Cause I won’t take another day of crazy, crazy TourouTourouTourouTou TourouTourouRourouRou TourouTourouRourouRou TourouTourou ‘Cause I won’t take another day of crazy, crazy. Crazy, of Crazy. Lay here with you.

WHY DO BIRDS SING You say life hurts, and love hurts And nothing comes around, when life has been unkind You say hearts brake for love’s sake And nothing turns back time when love has left a rhyme And who chooses lonely people and who chooses broken people When nothing comes around when life has been unkind But then why do birds sing, why do hearts swing If nothing comes around, when life has been unkind And who writes love songs, and who brings love long If nothing comes around, when life has been unkind You say cards play, their own game And nothing comes around, when life has delt with time You say wild things, of all things Tend to stick with time, and no one stays around And I see the lonely people, and I see the broken people And nothing comes around if love has left a rhyme But then why do birds sing, and why do hearts swing If nothing comes around, when life has been unkind And why writes love songs, and why spend love long If nothing comes around, when life has been unkind And I see the lonely people and I see the broken people And nothing comes around if love has left a rhyme
