Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

I picked up a photograph
I found in the road
The girl in the picture
Well, you might have known

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Her smile and her body
and the clouds in her eyes
When the day came along
That she said goodbye

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

And maybe you went driving
You were running away
Coz she wouldn’t listen
When you asked her to stay

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

So you took out her picture
And threw it away
And I picked up a photograph
I found

As I hold up the photograph
I found in the road
I look in her eyes and see
The love you once owned

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

And she gave you her smile
In the photograph
And now I hold it close
The way you once held her

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

I picked up a photograph
I found in the road
The girl in the picture
Well, you might have known

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

The Photograph

I hate being so cynical
I hate feeling so
Cautious and jaded and scared

What has made us this way?
Who has led us so far astray?
Surely this can’t be
All we can be

Can we undo it all?
Lay down the armor
Of smooth and easy insincerity

Oh, how good would that be?  

I hate being so hard
I hate going through motions
And feeling so dead inside

Sometimes this isolation is crushing me
And it’s hard to figure out how I should be
How I can be
Different

Can we undo it all
With openness, courage and love?
Can I reach out to you?
And you to me?

Oh, how good would that be?

Different

Babe, you gave yourself to love
And now you give your love to me
Once upon a time is comin’ true
And lovin’ you is all I gotta do

Sometimes it scares me half to death
At times I have to hold my breath
Your lovin’ leaves me nothing left to say
It comes along and takes my breath away

It’s so good to love you, baby
It’s just so damned good
It’s so very good to love you, baby
It’s so very good

You don’t shoot arrows in the dark
Your love goes straight into my heart
Takin’ time to put my mind at ease
You’re takin’ aim and, babe, you aim to please

It’s so good to love you, baby
It’s just so damned good
It’s so very good to love you, baby
It’s so very good

It’s so good to love you, baby
It’s just so damned good
It’s so very good to love you, baby
It’s so very good

So Damn Good

Breaking you
The way you need to be
The way you want

Feeding your
Shameful appetites
Filling you
With the heat

You’re losing control
Aching for more
You’re letting go
Losing control

Surrender
To what you want
To what you need

Don’t speak
Just breathe
Just feel
Everything

You’re losing control
Craving
Losing control
Feeling it all

Lose control
Lose control

Surrender
Feel it all

You’re losing control
Aching for more
You’re letting go
Losing control

Surrender
Feel it all
What you want
What you need

Losing control
Craving
Losing control
Feeling it all

You’re losing control
Aching for more
You’re letting go
Losing control

Surrender

Breaking You

It’s been so long
I can’t go on
like this
Anymore

We’ve tried so hard
Over
And over
Again

It’s hard to be
An optimist
In the face of all
The evidence

Is it time now
To say
Goodbye?

Is it worth
Another try?

You say I am
A pessimist
But in the face of
Our experience

I may just be
A realist

Baby, I’m a fool for you
Baby, I’m a fool for love
And maybe I’m a fool
For wanting everything
I knew that I could give
From you
In return

Yes, it’s hard to be
An optimist
In the face of
Our experience

But I am still a fool for love
And maybe I’m a fool
For wanting everything
I knew that I would give
From you
In return

But I have learned

And maybe I’m a fool for love
Yes, baby, I’m a fool for love
But maybe I can’t be a fool for you
Baby, I can’t be a fool for you
Anymore

Fool For Love

Moving through a scattered sky
I let go of all my expectations

Losing to the beating kind
And I can’t recall anything that I’ve lost

Eager to rescind my mind
To rescind my mind

Can you feel my heart’s close?
Breathing low and shallow

I’ll lose
Lose myself this time

Slow

Sinking under
I’m grasping for a different kind of light

I can feel you let go
Moving through the shadows

And I can’t help
but lose myself this time

Slow

Moving through a scattered sky
I let go of all my expectations

Losing to the beating kind
And I can’t recall anything that I’ve lost

Moving
Moving through

Can you feel my heart’s close?
Breathing low and shallow

I’ll lose
Lose myself this time

Slow

Sunflower Girl

Say Goodbye

Bhagavan

She moves like fire in a hall of mirrors
Cracks in the glass, but the flames grow clearer
Paint-stained hands on her hollow frame
Bleeds out dreams that don't have names

She's got eyes like a loaded question
Smile like a car crash in confession
Brush in her hand, pills on the floor
Painting angels she don’t believe in anymore

You’d swear she’s sunlight,
Until the thunder rolls in
She loves like a landslide 
You’ll never stand again

She’s a storm in silk, a scar in bloom
A lullaby echoing in an empty room
Falling stars in her veins,
Pushin’ through invisible chains
She’s the art and the ache,
Living fast in a porcelain cage

Her voice is a whisper wrapped in glass
Sings to ghosts she can't outlast
A canvas queen with a violent grace
Bruises like brushstrokes across her face

Love her, and she’ll drag you under
Kiss like lightning, hands like hunger
But she cries in color no one sees
Just smoke signals through poppy seeds

You’d think she’s heaven,
'Til she breaks your sky
She drinks from the well
Where angels go to die

She’s a storm in silk, a scar in bloom
A lullaby echoing in an empty room
Falling stars in her veins,
Pushin’ through invisible chains
She’s the art and the ache,
Living fast in a porcelain cage

No one taught her how to land
Only how to burn
She’s dancing on the edge
Of never return
And you could save her
If you drown first
But in her world,
The beautiful always hurt

She’s a storm in silk, a scar in bloom
A lullaby echoing in an empty room
Falling stars in her veins,
Pushin’ through invisible chains
She’s the prayer you never say
A dream that won’t behave
She’s the art and the ache,
Breaking slow in a porcelain cage

She’s a storm in silk, a scar in bloom
A lullaby echoing in an empty room
Falling stars in her veins,
Trapped by invisible chains
She’s the art and the ache,
Breaking slow in a porcelain cage

The Art And The Ache

We’re spinning in the moonlight, you and I  
And I feel like I’m falling, but I’m ready to fly 
Through your eyes, the world looks new
And I am not afraid
  
I never knew what I was looking for
A whisper lost, a heart that swayed 
And I waited, waited for you

We got dreams on fire, burning bright
Chasing the stars in the dead of night
With you, everything feels so alive
In this moment, together
 
I never knew what it was I’d find
A quiet place, a place to stay
And I waited, waited for you

We’re dancing through the ashes, but we’re free  
You and I, we’re where we’re meant to be
 
I never knew what it was I’d find
A quiet place, a place to stay
And I waited, waited for you
But you never came
  
Dreams on fire, burning bright
Chasing the stars in the dead of night
 
I never knew what it was I’d find
A quiet place, a place to stay
And I’m waiting, waiting for you


Waited For You

Day by day
Street full of rain
I am a child in me
Sad and free
Again

You could say
Oh, I been around
Have all the friends I need
Friends indeed
Up and down

And suddenly someone is there, and I’m alone
Suddenly someone is there, I am alone

Next to you
Tryin’ to care
Listenin’ to what you say
If I may
If I dare

Touch me now
Tell me your name
Have you been here before?
Say some more
Say again

Suddenly someone is there, and I’m alone
And suddenly someone is there, and I’m alone

What am I dreamin’ ‘bout?
Oh, I can’t say
What am I screamin’ out?
Window man, jump away

Saturday
You caught a train
Didn’t say where you’d be
Or if I’d see
You again

Anyway
Oh, I’m goin’ home
City get off of me
Let me be
Let me go

And suddenly someone is there, and I’m alone
And suddenly someone is there, and I’m alone

Suddenly (Window Man)

I used to fish
In a crystal stream
Daddy drink his wine
He lay back and dream

And I used to pray
To a hangin’ king
Mama stand up proud
She break out and sing

So, tell me
What did I know
When I left home?
Why did I go?
Just to be gone

I used to ride
A big old yellow roan
I rode him in the city
And I rode him all alone

So, tell me
What did I know
When I left home?
Why did I go?
Just to be gone?

Tell me
What did I know
When I left home?
Why did I go
Just to be gone?

Because I’m walkin’ alleys
I’m breathin’ smog
My hands are empty
And my best friend is a dog
