My Idiot Friend

Sitting Still

I Am The Bow Of A Ship

Watching
And waiting
I'm silent as snow
Floating
I'm falling
On darkness below.
Every night in darkness deep
Through this door it's all I see
World gone frozen helplessly
Looking out, imprisoned me.
Watching
And waiting
I'm silent as snow
Floating
I'm falling
On darkness below.
In my soul, one tiny flame
Trying, turning, burn again
Ice and bitter cold remain
Outside inside, all the same.
Whirling and spinning colliding it goes up in front of my streetlight I see how it snows. 
Watching
And waiting
I'm silent as snow
Floating
I'm falling
On darkness below.
Watching
And waiting
I'm silent as snow
Floating
I'm falling
On darkness below.

Silent As Snow

Dream your dreams my sleepyheads
Safe and sound, asleep in bed
I'll be up to join you soon
Following the moon
And following this tune.

Following the Moon

Night ride
Taking my Rabbit down the Turnpike
Making my wishes on a starbright
Thinking of someone I know, know
Alright
Running away from feeling uptight
Keep my attention on the headlights
Keeping my eye on the road, road
Lifetimes
Running like water through my fingers
Happier memories linger
Often I live in the past, past
Oh my
A feeling that life is passing me by
A lonely star hanging in the night sky
Hoping the darkness will last, last


Night Ride

First timer, fated lovers
Heartache was never so right
They are notes in tune
They are sea and moon
But different as the day and night
She’d call me and tell me she loved me
In the morning at a quarter to two
I was always amazed and I’d reply in a daze,
Not half as much as I love you
First timer, fated lovers
Heartache was never so right
They are notes in tune
They are sea and moon
But different as the day and night
I still see her, sometimes in the summer
Often with a look in her eye
We don’t plan, it’s a one-night stand
We always kiss and say goodbye
First timer, fated lovers
Heartache was never so right
They are notes in tune
They are sea and moon
But different as the day and night
I keep wondering if time has stolen
The passion that I had long ago
And yet I happily sigh that if I don’t get as high
At least I never seem to get so low
First timer, fated lovers
Heartache was never so right
They are notes in tune
They are sea and moon
But different as the day and night


First Timers

Your girl’s been crying all day
She says she can’t take the chill
When you’re talking that way
And though she loves you
And wants so to stay
She says she’s leaving you
You give her no choice but to go away
If you care
She needs you to tell her
She is waiting
But she won’t wait forever
If you love her
Go now and tell her
The time to tell her is now
The time to tell her is now
Train whistle moans through the night
You’ll be as lonely
If you don’t treat her right
And, hey, don’t expect
To be with her tonight
Unless you run to her now
And tell her everything is alright
If you care
She needs you to tell her
She is waiting
But she won’t wait forever
If you love her
Go now and tell her
The time to tell her is now
The time to tell her is now
The time to tell her is now
The time to tell her is now

Go Now and Tell Her

Hey, hey
See-Not-Seen
They call him
Papa Sei Papa Soto
Hey, hey
Papa Sei Papa Soto
See-Not-Seen
Well, the people
Tell a story
Of a man who
Learned the way to be
Among 'em
They look through him
They don't see him
When he shakes his head and says
Hey, hey
See-Not-Seen
They call me
Papa Sei Papa Soto
Hey, hey
Papa Sei Papa Soto
See-Not-Seen
A-well the people
Bring him problems
He’ll be singing
As they sleep they feel
Solutions
Wake untroubled
They don't see the
Silent tear he weeps
They go
Hey, hey
See-Not-Seen they call him
Papa Sei Papa Soto
Hey, hey
Papa Sei Papa Soto
See-Not-Seen
They go
Root-too-too-too-too-too-toot
Root-too-too-too-too-too-toot
Root-too-too-too-too-too-toot
Root-too-too-too-too-too-toot
A-well-a one day
They may ask him
Do you feel?
And
How you are?
He says, I'm talking
Can't you hear me?
Must this magic
Always go too far?
They go
Hey, hey
See-Not-Seen they call him
Papa Sei Papa Soto
Hey, hey
Papa Sei Papa Soto
See-Not-Seen
Hey
Hey
Hey
Papa Sei Papa Soto
See-Not-Seen
They go hey!

See-Not-Seen_Robby_Berman

I look
Don’t see
There’s nothing here for me
I leave
I cry
Half the way home
I came
It’s true
In hopes of seeing you
I leave
I cry
Half the way home

I’ve been in school today
The same as yesterday
The clowns have come into their own
I tried to think of who should
Laugh just as hard as I would
I came to think of you alone

I try
I do
There’s no replacing you
I leave
I cry
Half the way home

Big crowd
No space
It’s still an empty place
I leave
I cry
Half the way home

How could you think of me
That I would prefer to fail
And that’d be why I’d love you so
Call it a waking dream
Think it a fairy tale
But haven’t you heard sometimes you know
And I know
But no

I’ve been in school today
The same as yesterday
The clowns have come into their own
I tried to think of who should
Laugh just as hard as I would
I came to think of you alone

I look
Don’t see
There’s nothing here for me
I leave
I cry
Half the way home

I came
It’s true
In hopes of seeing you
I leave
I cry
Half the way home

Half the way home
Half the way home
Half the way home
Half the way home
