When we are Young (We Run and We Run) I saw you standing there All without a care Smoking a cigarette On the stairs Though the music’s loud You will turn and say Now’s the time for us To be on our way Chorus: ‘Cause when we are young We run and we run We run and we run When we are young We run and we run We run and we run We run and we run When we are young Open roads to drive And we will drive all night Wind up on a beach and Build a fire Golden flames will die And dance in your eyes I will sing you songs I stole from Desire We’ve still got time We’ve still got time ‘Cause when we are young We run and we run We run and we run When we are young We run and we run We run and we run We run and we run When we are young So let’s leave it there Find out if we care You can take a year And see what’s there And when we get back If everything has changed I’ll just be a face And you’ll be a name We’ve still got time We’ve still got time We’re out of time! ‘Cause when we are young We run and we run We run and we run When we are young We run and we run We run and we run We run and we run When we are young

Corrugated Heart Let’s go back to the space in-between When I was there but couldn’t be seen You were a dream that I would keep hid And we will meet yeah, 25 years from now. When you’re born with a corrugated heart The rain gets in right from the start Patch it with blood and angel wire And never forget you’re made of fire Take me back and I’d never believe it That we would be joined at hip and the seasons There would be infinite reasons But you would stay and I’d never believe it, man. The girl with the corrugated heart Who loved you right from the very start Patched you up with love and angel wire And never forget she’s made of fire When you’re born with a corrugated heart The rain gets in right from the start Patch it with love and angel wire And never forget you’re made of fire

She Don’t Mind Up all night I was talking to the dark and I’d make it right If it would leave me half alone, so Let us try Leave it as an understatement That I find Words can’t do the half of it, but You are in the end The coin I’ll never spend She sees right Knows I’m only faking it, but She don’t mind She knows that I don’t have a clue What I should do Except about you When it’s time Leave me at the home for aged And I won’t mind My mind will be so far gone by then There can be no regret But my heart will never forget
4.
Will You Light a Candle? When the day arrives Will you be beside? And will I have a chance To say goodbye? And later on that night When everything is quiet Will you light a candle? Will you leave it alight? Will you light a candle? Will you light a candle? You will be alive And I will be alive At least in the spirit As the poet would divine A year to the day Will you find the way? Will you light a candle? Will you leave it alight? Will you light a candle? Will you light a candle? I am to die and you as well I am to die and you as well If you listen hard You can hear the shards Of glass Deep in my heart Put there by age Despite the page And the words We know by heart Will you light a candle? Will you light a candle? I am to die and you as well I am to die and you as well I am to die and you as well I am to die and you as well

Can I Belong to You? Let’s take a train we’ll leave for Spain tonight Wake up in a town we don’t know You can you get the news you need on the radio Leave a note we’ll take the window You can be the nurse, I’ll be your Hemingway And we’ll never run out of things to say Can I belong to you? Can I belong to you? Can I belong to you? Let’s take a plane to Prague, it’s Xmas Eve We can dance upon the old bridge The lights are on we’ll find a room in town You can watch TV, we’ll order in I will bite my tongue until it’s time to go Cause there is this thing I really need to know Can I belong to you? Can I belong to you? Can I belong to you? Can I belong to you? Let’s take your car we’ll go we’ll leave tonight Take our time we’ll take the coast road You can get the news you need on your telephone But your friends won’t even notice that you’re gone

Seven Hills 02:23
Seven Hills When you said you were dead And we were through, do you Recall the words you used? I was there and I surmise That you were gone alright And then you left again And so we start again We build up from the end And though you can’t believe your eyes We will rise again like the bird from a fire This life is not to live It’s just to give away To one you don’t despise Take me down to Seven Hills Make me drink from river stills Make me live another day Fill the trench with barbed wire Spiteful tongue and ire And we will never part ‘Cause a captive audience Will take what you give them If you can sing right through the pain You’ll take us back to the place where we know each other’s name
7.
Umbrella Skin I don’t believe that I will really die Don’t believe in my parents (They’re breaking up now too) And don’t you know that I called time On your list of loves and on your list of sheets (We’ll never sleep on twice) On the list of hearts Burdened by your feet But can I just make a scene In front of your funny friends We’ll make a time To grieve All the injuries I don’t believe but I can surely try Be the man that you think I am But it’s all wrapped in ice and golden lies Umbrella skin we’re living in But can I just make a scene In front of your phony friends We’ll make a time To grieve All the injuries

The Light 04:31
The Light Silence comes, like, a rolling storm of old Though I do try to find the words for you, they don’t Bridge the clear line, they fall flat and die And in your blue eyes, I search but cannot find I don’t know about you but I long to see… I don’t know about you but I long to see… I don’t know about you but I long to see… I don’t know about you but I long to see… The light Chasms of the mind, in the heart and in your bones Like the grand tides, they take more than you know Can we not lie across this terror divide And let your life become one with mine I don’t know about you but I long to see… I don’t know about you but I long to see… I don’t know about you but I long to see… I don’t know about you but I long to see… The light There is no why in beauty, and yet There’s a straight line to the day we met Let us string lights, in our garden of love And we will yes, find, that we have enough I don’t know about you but I long to see… I don’t know about you but I long to see… I don’t know about you but I long to see… I don’t know about you but I long to see… The light

This is How it Ends This is how it ends Time is not your friend Despite the way it bends And I am not in love I am not in love But I know this We may never know the bliss That we had on that island We made out of the tides We made out of the tides Will you dump my body when you take Me out to sea or in the lake? Or drag me up by my feet And let the vampires Have their way with me Did you ever doubt That I have known for years about The time you set alight the house Left the building burning bright I never dropped a dime And then a year will pass We’ll say it went so fast And when it comes to write this song On you, will it be the last? And will you recognize I told the truth almost every time I though I really tried I could hardly find A way to make you wrong
