Tonight you wore a black carnation
You wore your hair down to your shoulders
With those cherry lips that smoulder
How I find myself bewitched within your smile
If you only knew how I adore you
If you only knew how I adore you
Tonight I wore a black carnation
I guess that's just the way I'm feeling
When I'm staring at the ceiling
And I think of you and daydream for a while
If you only knew how I adore you
If you only knew how I adore you
Tonight you wore a black carnation
I wore my hair down to my shoulders
As the night is getting colder
Would you walk with me and talk a little while
If you only knew how I adore you (x4)

Head For The Lighthouse
04:15
|
|||
Don't you wanna know another secret?
There's a road that leads to the ocean
And that's the road you really oughta know
Cos' hearts were made to be broken
Don't pretend to understand at all
Don't read to hard into the meaning
Pretty soon your world is gonna change
And if you ever should need me
Go to the lighthouse
But don't go up the stairs without me in your arms
Head for the lighthouse
Head for the glare cos' we're shadows as dark as the winter
Remember all the good times that we shared
How the stars were practically glowing
I just wanna keep you safe and warm
The wind is constantly blowing
Waves are gently crashing to the shore
And the rain falls down to the gloomy
We always used to spend our time together
Just watching japanese movies
(REPEAT CHORUS X2)

Setsuko
03:40
|
|||
Before I let my head drop down, I'll say a little prayer for Setsuko
The bloodiest summer that this town has ever known
Lord, let her be there on the beach or by the hill
Or safe in your paradise, with thoughts that hold her still
The Hyogo angel passes by
Up over the midnight Kobe skyline
Before I drink this water down I'll say a tiny prayer for Setsuko
Under the bright lights now, the people come and go
They're running for cover from those rain clouds in the sky
Just like the shelter that we found in '45
The Hyogo angel passing by
Up over the midnight Kobe skyline
Before I let my head drop down, I'll say a little prayer for Setsuko

She Falls Apart
03:15
|
|||
Remember when we used to talk
Your voice set softly on the breeze
Remember when we used to walk
That sunset resting on the trees
The symmetry of sea and sky
The mystery between the lines
This empty space, my foolish heart
I'll be there when the hurting starts
And she falls apart, falls apart
She falls apart, falls apart
She moves just like an autumn dream
The lights falls gently to the ground
She's been this way since seventeen
She floats on by without a sound
In solitude, in distant waves
This harvest moon will soon decay
This empty space, my foolish heart
I'll be there when the hurting starts
And she falls apart, falls apart
She falls apart, falls apart
She falls apart
She falls apart

Down amongst the bluebells on the outskirts of the town
All those old abandoned buildings, where there's no-one else around
Then you lie down beside me, make a pillow from my arms
And I'll hold you forever, never let you come to harm
Down amongst the bluebells with your breath upon my skin
Feeling warmer on the outside than I ever could within
Then you place your hands in mine and put those lips upon my ear
And whisper all those secrets that I never thought I'd hear
Down amongst the bluebells with the memories of the dead
All the ghosts would roam the meadows, looking for some place to rest
You sent them away with all your beauty and your grace
Souls have since departed and they're in a better place
Fields on the horizon and the sun is setting fast
And the flowers have all died now, just reflections of the past
But I'll keep all of these memories, though they cut me like a knife
The days amongst the bluebells were the best ones of my life

Thursday Morning High
03:58
|
|||
As the sun goes down, all of my life laid safely behind me
As the sun goes down, all of my poisons neatly beside me
And the world spins round, endlessly falling into oblivion
And the sun goes down, counting those stars from one to a million
Shadows move slowly, the aches and the sorrows
My love for you only, the pills that I swallow
Thursday morning high, high, high
As the sun goes down, something inside grows blackened and weaker
As the sun goes down, somehow those stars all start to look bleaker
And the world spins round, marking the days with each passing morning
As the sun goes down, I know I won't see another dawning
Shadows move slowly, the aches and the sorrows
My love for you only, the pills that I swallow
Thursday morning high, high, high

Ready To Burst
03:38
|
|||
We're ready to burst all over the place, the warmest embrace
We're ready to burst through the lows and the highs and the tears in your eyes
One of these days I'll take you to the water
One of these days I'll take you to the water
Everyone says you're better than your sister
How I missed her sometimes, sometimes
We're ready to burst, so wear nothing but black, scratch your nails down my back
We're ready to burst through, to just say what we mean but the words turn to screams
One of these days I'll take you to the water
One of these days I'll take you to the water
Everyone says you're better than your sister
How I miss her sometimes, sometimes
We're ready to burst
We're ready to burst

Waxing Crescent Moon
03:52
|
|||
Sundown deep in the west
This ghost town I love the best
Waxing crescent moon above me, smiles like a long lost friend
Waxing crescent moon above me, stay with me 'till the end
The night sky that reigns supreme
It plagues my soul and haunts my dreams
Waxing crescent moon above me, smiles like a long lost friend
Waxing crescent moon above me, stay with me 'till the end
Sundown deep in the west

9. |

We watch the sun rise from over the bay
It's the light in your eyes that gives you away
And up on the hill, you whisper my name
A mellifluous voice, sweeter than honey and soft as the rain
Then the lights go out, to miss you and your smile
How I held your hands and kissed you all the while
And it feels like the world's getting smaller
Those darkest of skies where time slips away
Our bodies may die, great loves may end, but dreams never fade
Late in the night, wake from my despair
I stretch out my arms, reach out to hold you and nobody's there
(REPEAT CHORUS X2)
Yeah, it feels like the world's getting smaller

A Volcano Inside You
03:09
|
|||
When the morning comes, and you rub those tired eyes
Put your make-up on and you take that step outside
And the darkest cloud could never rain on you parade
How I wish I could, learn how to feel this way
Its the passion and it guides you
The volcano inside you
Then the evening falls and I come into my own
Don't build up those walls, you don't have to feel alone
See the moonlight shine, see those pale white orchids sway
Let those heartaches fly, and we'll watch them float away
Its the passion and it guides you
The volcano inside you
|

12. |

Don't wait any longer, or life might just pass you by
And don't wait to be stronger, your little world, you know it starts inside
She writes cards with her name on, she writes everything she wished she'd said
She writes cards with her name on, its justifiable, its indescribable and its in her head, in her head
Those birds fly over the ocean
Just like those promises, by and by
Some are meant to be broken
In time and I am disinclined
Those ink marks on the table, and some long forgotten words you scratched
Some call it 'unstable', but a problem shared's a problem halved
(REPEAT CHORUS)
But life is for living...
