Pink funeral

How sweet the sound
The swell of strings begins to rise
The stage is set
The painted stars they fill our eyes

 

This heart of mine
Goes out of time
Blue skies turn black
Behind our back

 

Don't let me go
Once was a fairy tale
Then it all went to hell
Swans on a starry lake
Hearts that were made to break
Tears through a white lace veil
Pink funeral

 

Somewhere underneath the boughs
You'll get away, get away somehow
Far from here
All around
The lake of tears
You'll know she's near

 

Don't let me go
Once was a fairy tale
Then it all went to hell
Swans on a starry lake
Hearts that were made to break
Tears through a white lace veil
Pink funeral

 

 

To a poet

And you said, "Don't give me nothing
you don't want to lose"
I said, "Darling, I'll give you everything I got
if I want them to choose"

 

Then I got on a plane and flew
far away from you
Though unwillingly I left
and it was so, so hard to do

 

The streets here at home had rapidly filled up
with the whitest of snow
And they don't make no excuse for themselves
and there's no need, I know

 

Now I miss you more than I can take
and I will surely break
And every morning that I wake
God, it is the same

There's nothing more to it,
I just get through it
Oh, there's nothing more to it
I just get through it

 

It always takes me by surprise
how dark it gets this time of year
And how apparent it all becomes
that you're not close, not even near

 

No matter how many times I tell myself
I have to be sincere
I have a hard time standing up
and facing those fears

 

But Frank put it best when he said
"You can't plan on the heart"
Those words keep me on my feet
when I think I might just fall apart

 

Now I miss you more than I can take
and I will surely break
And every morning that I wake
God, there is this ache

There's nothing more to it,
I just get through it
Oh, there's nothing more to it
I just get through it
Oh, there's nothing more to it
I just get through it

 

And so I ask where are you now
Just when I needed you
I won't ask again
Because I know there's nothing we can do
Not now, darling, you know it's true

Space song

It was late at night
Il était tard la nuit
You held on tight
Tu te retenais à tout prix
From an empty seat
D'un siège vide
A flash of light
Un flash de lumière

It would take awhile
Cela prendrait un certain temps
To make you smile
De te faire sourire
Somewhere in these eyes
Quelque part dans ces yeux
I'm on your side
Je suis à tes côtés

You wide-eyed girls
Toi, la fille aux grands yeux
You get it right
Tu l'as compris

Fall back into place
Ça se remet en place
Fall back into place
Ça se remet en place

Tender is the night
Plus tendre est la nuit
For a broken heart
Pour un cœur brisé
Who will dry your eyes
Qui va sécher tes yeux
When it falls apart
Lorsque tout s'effondrera

What makes this fragile world go 'round?
Qu'est-ce qui continue de faire tourner ce monde ?
Were you ever lost
As-tu jamais été perdue
Was she ever found?
A-t-elle jamais été trouvée ?

Somewhere in these eyes
Quelque part dans ces yeux

Fall back into place
Ça se remet en place
Fall back into place
Ça se remet en place

Help me to name it

Drifting in and out
You see the road you're on

 

It came rolling down your cheek
You say just what you mean

And in-between

it's never as it seems

 

Help me to name it
Help me to name it

 

If you built yourself a myth
You'd know just what to give

 

What comes after this
Momentary bliss?

The consequence
Of what you do to me

 

Help me to name it
Help me to name it

 

Found yourself in a new direction
Arrows falling from the sun

Canyon calling, would they come to greet you?
Let you know you're not the only one

 

Can't keep hanging on
To what is dead and gone

 

If you built yourself a myth
You'd know just what to give
Materialize
Or let the ashes fly

 

Help me to name it
Help me to name it

On the sea

Out on the sea we'd be forgiven
Our bodies stopped the spirit leaving
Wouldn't you like to know how far you've got left to go

 

Somebody's child
Nobody made you
It's not what you stole, it's what they gave you
In or out, you go
In your silence, your soul

 

Would you rather go unwilling?
The heart is full and now it's spilling
Barreling down the steps
Only a moment left

 

In hind of sight no peace of mind
Where you begin and I'm defined
Daughter of unconscious fate
Time will tell, in spite of me

 

In hind of sight no peace of mind
Where it begins and we'll be fine

Shadows bend and suddenly
The world becomes
And swallows me in, the end

 

Whistle to a friend
Gentle 'til the end
Any way in a name
She takes shape just the same
