Astronauts

I know what you're thinking
It's too much to say
Don't let them stop you
Get in your way
Let's spend the day
Like astronauts
Drifting away
We're astronauts
I know that I've been sinking
I know that I've been losing
But when I'm with you I'm thinking
You won't let me down
Everything's happened
And we're half asleep
We lie here just like angels
Watching the breeze
Let's spend the day
Like astronauts
Drifting away
We're astronauts
I know that I've been blinded
I know that I've been too slow
I don't need to be reminded
I already know

Slowmotion Smile
04:58
|
|||
Static in my mind
Watched another century drift by
And you can't run away
From the facts that you find
Somewhere in between
You're a victim , you're a victory
Just a sad consequence
Of you're vanity
I believe there's a devil with me
He's shaking me like a loose leafed tree
And though I try to pretend
It never ends
Run and hide
Here he comes like a slow motion smile
your life's in reverse
Just a crumpling of the universe
and if you meet yourself
you might come off worse
How else should I feel?
I’m a fallen leaf blowin’ in the breeze
And the harder I try
the further it seems
I've become everything that I see
Only birds and saints make their journeys complete
everything's sliding again
will it never end
Summertime
Here it comes like a slow-motion smile

Dressed Like A Girl
03:25
|
|||
Early on that morning
She was lying on her bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wondering what she’d said
Well it seems that love is not enough
Well it seems that love is not enough
Soon it goes
Just like the snow
Dressed like a girl
Dressed like a girl
All the leaves are falling
It’ll stay like that ‘til May
It’s the only thing she’s sure of
When she runs that race
Well it seems that love is not enough
Well it seems that love is not enough
Soon it goes
Just like the snow
Dressed like a girl
Dressed like a girl

You Don't Try Any More
04:44
|
|||
I have been afraid
I’ve watched a lifetime slip away
When every day is like the day that went before
Autumn sweeps away
The night forgets me perfectly
I’m losing faith
Can someone say what I’m living for
And you don’t try any more
You don’t try any more
You don’t try any more
I’ve forgotten what we’re working for
Baby don’t let it go
Tonight the stars are dim
I feel them clouding up within
Wish I could save that certain way that I felt before
Is it just a dream
All of this crazy orbiting
Is it too late
Our choices made
And much too soon
And you don’t try any more...
Last night I dreamed that I dreamed about you
And I knew everything
I saw the real world
Outside my window
Starlight to zero as we hit the ground
Cause you don’t try , you don’t try any more

Where do we go from here?
We’re sitting on the second hand
Waiting for the world to end
Failing’s your greatest fear
The thought that you are losing now
And your time is running out
Always thought you were special
Always thought you’d aim high
Many ghosts walk in this town baby
When I see your eyes
They’re just like mine
Robbed time
Failing is no big deal
At least I know how you feel
Nothing to lose or steal
The winner sits on his throne
You think that he’s the lucky one
But he’s standing on his own
Always thought you were special
Always thought you’d aim high
Many ghosts walk in this town baby
When I see your eyes
They’re just like mine
Robbed time

So Long
03:10
|
|||
Always thought you would be with me
Always thought we’d meet up in our dreams
Somewhere darling I began to see
There was somewhere else I had to be
Had to be
So long so long
So long my friend, so long
So long so long
So long my friend, so long
And now I’m gone
So much has passed since yo

There Is A Light
03:55
|
|||
There is a light
A subtle knife
That opens a door
Relax your mind
Don’t grip too tight
And let it wander
And when you come back to yourself
When you’ve been standing on the edge
You feel the love come rushing in
Because the light comes from within
There was a time
I lost my mind
In struggle and hurt
I tried a lot
Look what I got
The state I was in
Now every time I close the door
I realise what I am for
But please don’t think I’m rushing in
It’s just the light comes from within

What The Thunder
04:27
|
|||
As the daylight finds me
I hold lillies in my hand
And the silence reminds me of everything I understand
When the sun shines on me
Sun shines on me like a hollow man
All I want then
All I want then
Is the sweetness of his arms
Across the plain
Dry grass whispers
Calls your name
I feel the darkness of the canyon
The heat slip from the the rock
And I will lie here forever
Scatter where you walk
Won't you fall down to me
Fall down to me with the summer rain
Won't you kneel down to
Kneel down to me
And I'll believe I'm home again
