1. CHANGING THE RAIN

Over closer through figures collide
Open eyes to awake
Wilder through the better days
Go silent,
See them running around changing the rain
Gold is colder than ice
More is more than you can take
Open your eyes

Oh out here don't you ever know
Oh out here don't you ever know better

Now among the wild hills open they lie
For diamond tears we could ride
If only you'd get back in time
Open your eyes

Oh out here don't you ever know
Oh out here don't you ever know better

I can only happen I and I want it back again
I could only happen I and I'd want you back again
If only you'd get back in time
Open your eyes
Open your eyes


2. YOU SAID

You said I had what I came for
And the whispers had washed you away
Held yourself at the window
But the rivers were turning your head

You said I had what I came for
And the whispers had washed you away
Held yourself at the window
But the rivers were turning your head

After the crash
After the crash come the waves
And leave you with nothing
At least next to nothing

You've got to give me love
You've got to give me more
You've got to give me love
You've got to give me more

Now the echoes are endless
Whenever you say it aloud
All the whispers are heavy
And the whispers they wear you down

After the crash come the days
After the crash come the waves
And leave you with nothing
At least next to nothing

You've got to give me love
You've got to give me more
You've got to give me love
You've got to give me more

Stretching far into another night
A landscape with no heart
And no one sees her above
Oh there's nothing more to it now
Put aside and forgotten
Barely left alive
And forgotten too far gone to see you
And her eyes are too far gone to know
And her eyes are too far gone to know

You've got to give me love
You've got to give me more
You've got to give me love
You've got to give me more


3. I CAN SEE TROUGH YOU

I got the church key
Moving in the night
Don't you wish you could live this lie

I couldn't talk about
Filling up with longing
Pale horse, green eyes

'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through

I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through
La la la la la

Some people see you
To me you're just see-through
No one remembers your name
No one tries

And let you step outside
In the fever of evening
No one remembers your name
No one tries

'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through

'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and what you are
I can see through you
I can see through
La la la la la

'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through

'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la


4. ENDLESS BLUE

Everyone seems so far away
Glittering jewels that you never had
You'll never own anything

Seems so far behind
See yourself in the places you've been
Some other time

In endless blue
Reflections look so good
You're never certain of anything
Unless you go in

Endless blue
Seems so far away
A glittering jewel that you never had
Nor will you again

At high tide, high tide

Everyone seems so far away
Glittering jewels that you never had
You'll never own
Everything seems so far behind
See yourself in the places you've been
Some other time

At high tide, high
As far as you can say
At high tide, high tide

Endless, endless, endless
It's endless


5. DIVE IN

She laid her thoughts out on the table
With sorrow difficult and bright
She had decided to sever her ties
As the horizon burned, she turned

The wind combed through her hair like high notes
Tinkling furrows across the sky
There would be tears, flowers, long shadows
She could see it now
The jets would dive

Away, away, away you go
Before they push you under
Away, away, away you go
Before they pull you in

She held herself up at the high point
A joining of decision and dismay
And clay was forming over her feet
As the horizon blurred
She turned and she knew

Away, away, away you go
Before they push you under
Away, away, you let it go
Before it pulls you in

Cold into the current, there she goes
Cold into the current, there she goes
Cold into the current, there she goes
Cold into the current, there she goes

The way it is, the way it goes,
The way it gets you down, you know
The way it is, the way it goes
The way it gets you down

Away, away, away you go
Before they push you under, you know
Away, away, away you go
Before it pulls you in

Away, away, you let it go
Before they put posh under the ground
Away, away, you let it go
Before it pulls you in


6. STILL LIFE

Under a sky, no one sees
Waiting, watching it happening
Don't hurry give it time
Things are the way they have to be
Slow down, give it time
Still life, you know I'm listening
The moment that you want is coming if you give it time

When you wake up, when you wake up
You will find me

When you wake up, when you wake up
You will find me

Under a sky, no one else sees
Yourself appears in front of me
The sky clear, the sun hits, I'm here
Waiting, what's happening.
The moment that you want is coming if you give it time

When you wake up, when you wake up
You will find me

When you wake up, when you wake up
You will find me


7. WILD EYED

Make me silver promises
Take away my life
I'd give it up if you would only listen

I know all your secrets
I know all your lies
The water's cool if you choose the right time

Float away again
Float, float away again

I know all your lies
Fragile as they are
The water's cool if that's what you came for

Your eyes are running
Through a bitter snow
The sky is cold
Colder than the ocean

Float away again
Float, float away again


8. MOVING FURTHER AWAY

Everybody moving further away
Everybody moving further away
Everybody moving further away
Everybody moving further away

See you where the light ends
I'll be shooting across the silver
Through the breaking sky
And back before you know
Wheeling in formation
And I know what you're thinking

So turn your eyes away
And let me be alone

Everybody moving further away
Everybody moving further away

See you where the lie turns
I'll be shooting caps of silver
But it's different now

I'm the only one who flies
Wheeling in formation
And I know what you're thinking
But they're all strangers now
And the silver doesn't shine

Everybody moving further away
Everybody moving further away

There with all the people
There with all the people
Oh, I surrender, this is
Oh, I surrender, this is it
Oh, I surrender, this is it
Oh, I surrender, this is it
Oh, I surrender, this is it


9. MONICA GEMS

Did you see her
She's out of sight
Did you see
She's always cool and bright

Waiting for her, oh
You know you're wasting your time
With Monica Gems, oh
No matter how hard you try

People say, oh
She keeps them cool and bright
People say, oh
You're wasting all your time
With Monica Gems, Monica Gems
Monica Gems, Monica

Did you see, oh
She's out of sight
Did you see, oh
She's cool and bright

Waiting for she, oh
You'll be waiting all your life
Monica Gems, oh
You know I think of her sometimes

Monica Gems
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Monica Gems, oh

And we've all been there for Monica, Monica
For Monica, Monica
For Monica, Monica
For Monica, Monica


10. OCEANS BURNING

In the orchard we see you once again
Listening only with the sunlight on your arms
It's a change to see you in my world again
Only visiting but happy anyway

It's a joy
To see you waiting there
Lit up, left glowing in the air

It's a joy
To know you're waiting there
Writing letters, left burning in the air

In the picture we see you once again
Still leaning with the sunlight on your arms
Then the life sent itself into the air
Until someone came upon the frozen stare

It's a joy
To see you waiting there
Lit up, left glowing in the air

It's a joy
To know you're waiting there
Writing letters, left burning in the air

Bringing all wonders to light
Bringing all wonders to light

Like an ocean
Life that overcomes
Like an ocean
Likely follows right behind
The only one

On a lonely ship, we are
Waking like an ocean which is sighing oh
Even when I told you were wrong
Turns out you were right all along

Hold me open when I am with you
Hold me open when I am with you
You know it's gone
You see me run
As if to hide

There on a lonely ship, filled full
Of an ocean which is burning oh

Melt together when I am with you
Held together when I am with you
We had it there
We had it there
I could have sworn

Turns out you were right all along
Turns out you were right all along
Turns out you were right all along
