Lullaby
Shall I stay or go
Through the door
Will the pen to flow
Watch the stars
Sleeps a chore
The moon is growing cold
It hangs like a sliver of tin
How do our dreams unfold
And why are my bones feeling thin
I watch my pen as though
My fingers could shatter like icicles
And before my eyes
Lie glittering and useless on a field of snow

Flying
The older I get the more stupid I feel
I dont know whats going on
Tired of trying to be strong
When I should be crying
The further I go the less distance I see
Leave behind another home
The harder I try the less people I please
The older I get the more lucid I feel
Let it go and let it come
Tired of trying to belong
When I could be flying

Oh Well
I cant help about the shape Im in
I cant sing, I aint pretty and my legs are thin
But dont ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Oh well
Now, when I talked to God I knew hed understand
He said, stick by my side and Ill be your guiding hand
But dont ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Oh well

Shanghai Sky
Strange
How the world got so small
I turned around and there was nowhere left to go
So sad
The dream always dies
Each new arrival closes places in my mind
But I can dream
Until I go
Of smells that I dont recognize
And by the river
In shanghai
The colour of the sky
Is something Ive never seen
After the summer rain
Children smile
Curious and kind
And the world is big again

Only The Future
Somethings coming
Something big
Something I cant stand
Dark as the ocean
Secret and cruel
Something I cant command
Somethings waiting
Down a muggers alley
To see whats on my mind
Take a deep breath
Start walking faster
Its dark, but Im not blind
You never know
If I push at this wall
My hand could pass through
So
This cloud of unknowing
Could disappear too
Its only the future

Mood Indigo
You aint been blue; no, no, no.
You aint been blue,
Till youve had that mood indigo.
That feelin goes stealin down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, go long blues.
Always get that mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye.
In the evenin when lights are low,
Im so lonesome I could cry.
cause theres nobody who cares about me,
Im just a soul whos bluer than blue can be.
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down and die.

The Best I Can Do
I'll try to protect you
If I don't get too scared
I'll never neglect you
If my feelings are shared
I'll be right behind you
If you don't move too fast
And I'll try to remind you
That some things can last
I'll love you forever
Or at least many years
If you know I'll never
Take away all your fears
And I'll never roam
Not unless I have to
But I'll always come home
That's the best I can do
It's the best I can do

Another World
I was so low
People almost made me give up trying
Always said no
The I turned around saw someone smiling
I stepped into
I stepped into
Into another
Into another
I stepped into
I stepped into
Into another
Into another world
There was no light
I was going to all the wrong places
Like day from night
Suddenly I saw a thousand faces
I stepped into
I stepped into
Into another
Into another

Sea Of Secrets
Im sinking in
To a sea of secrets
Warm and green
Down and down
Back to times and places never seen
Now and then
I can wake and I remember
Just one secret thing
Through the rain
I can keep a candle burning
Under the skin of the world
Its sinking in
No need for fear of drowning
Drift away
These monsters here
Are only faces I dont wear by day
Now and then
I can wake, and in the mirror
Demons turn to friends
Through the pain

Crime Dont Pay
I got drunk with a real nice guy last night
In a mood to talk or fight
And he said, whats the matter
You dont look like you do so bad
I said I just been taking for everything I had
Someone took a fancy to my wallet
And my coat
So what you smiling at - aint you been in that boat
Its something that there really should be
Something done about
He said dont knock it sonny
Thats the way I started out
And now I got a nice suit
I got a nice car
Its been a nice day
Dont tell me that crime dont pay
Okay
