HE September summer, scent of sea You and me under that tree The sky in your pale blue eyes The tulip petals were our little spies "There’s no need to look away We can stay and stare all day We can stay. It's calm We can stay. It's calm right through your eyes." And from that day You scared my ghosts away Help me keep it that way "This one chance is all we'll have" I said to you. It made you laugh. "Hush" you said. "Just come along." "Hush" you said. "Just come with me." "This one chance is all we need" You said to me. I did not see That you were right. You knew That you were right. You knew a love serene. And from that day You scared my ghosts away Help me keep it that way "This one chance is all we'll have" I said to you. It made you laugh. "Hush" you said. "Just come along." "Hush" you said. "Just come with me."

HE And you're well And you're true Then you're you once again In a cell And it's you and you're true and you kill Yes you kill well And it's you when you wake up First you're so wise then you're throwing the whole thing to hell And it's you and you drown in the sand Seven times she tried to show me how to love Seven times I tried to let myself be loved Smooth out all the grain Paint away the waves, the clouds, the rain Till there’s no pain And you'll come And you'll run But you're you once again Then you pray 'cause the ghosts always play with their prey. Yes you pray well But it’s you when you wake up First you're so wise then you're throwing the whole thing to hell And you've come and you run in the sand Seven times she tried to show me how to love Seven times I tried to let myself be loved Smooth out all the grain Paint away the waves, the clouds, the rain Till there’s no pain SHE One more time I'll try to show you how to love Now you'll find the way to let yourself be loved: Just let me hold you now Feel today the waves, the clouds, the rain Enjoy the pain

Traction 02:55
SHE What you have in yourself And what you’re saying to me It’s irrelevant: yesterday, oh. Through and through yeah we’ll be one, too Sit where you are You ‘re fine And I love you more Never never repent here When you’re talkin’ to me Ever goin’ this way - you will laugh It’s you in heaven If you want to Sun and wine, it’s you and you’re meant to. HE I want you to be me Try to understand You’re my traction in the sand SHE What you have in yourself And what you’re tryin’ to be It’s irrelevant: yesterday, oh. Through and through, oh, we’ll be one, too Sit where you are You ‘re fine And I love you more Never never be sad here When you’re talkin to me Ever goin’ this way - you will laugh: It’s you in heaven If you want to. Sun and wine, it’s you and you’re meant to. HE I want you to be me Try to understand You’re my traction in the sand

It's Over 04:01
HE Watch how she takes me Oh when she takes me It’s over SHE “Won’t you be happy?” HE Shakin’ and cryin’ It’s over SHE “Don’t you worry” HE Take me to die now. It’s fictional why I cried and I sighed cause tonight What she’s going t’do with it, oh babe Sister knows it she ties me and help Gonna do it tonight SHE “We’re gonna make it, oh we’re gonna make it alright” HE Don’t you wanna make me alright? SHE “We’re gonna make it, oh we’ll make it better tonight” HE We’ll lie there and we won’t make a sound Watch where she takes me Oh when she takes me It’s over SHE “It’s only a moment” HE I know right this moment It’s over Is it love when She takes me to die oh? It’s physical but it ends all my sighin’ and fright What she’s goin’ t’do with it, oh babe Sister knows it she ties me and help Gonna do it tonight SHE We’re gonna make it, oh we’re gonna make it alright HE Don’t you wanna make me alright? SHE We’re gonna make it, oh we’ll make it better tonight HE We’ll lie there and we won’t make a sound

Pavement 03:02
HE I sat all day on the pavement Singing a song A song of freedom Ashamed to be alive I had to let it out First you gave to me, then you took away To make sure I loved you in the right way “We find ourselves in heaven” Won’t see you anymore Nothing's the same now Nothing's the same now No No No I sat all day on the pavement Singing in a song A song of freedom Ashamed to be alive I had to let it out Put out your hand now Nothing's the same now No No No

HE The sunshine blinded me this morning love Like the sunshine love comes and goes again I love you I love you The sea air it's flowing through my room again Like the thoughts of you fill my heart with joy again I'm sorry I miss you All things that live one day must die you know Even love and the things we hold close Look at love look at love look at love Look what we've done Loneliness is a very special place To forget is something that I've never done Silently, silently you touch my face
7.
Once 02:48
HE Once is how you always start a song Once is how you always move along Once you had, Once you could Once you did, Once you should have done Once is how we always love and live Once is how we always share and give Once we will, Once we should Once we'll know, Once we should have known Cause it's your time It's your day I'm just looking over the horizon To find the truth in the setting sun Cause Suzy's gone Once is how you always end a song Once is how you always end a song Once you had, Once you could Once you did, Once you should have done

Diffraction 02:18
HE I don't mind the autumn coming I don't mind when winter's here I don't mind the wind is humming I don't mind I'm filled with fear I don't mind that she's not coming I don't mind when she's not here I don't mind my mind is humming I don't mind I'm nowhere near I don't mind I'm filled with fear I don't mind I'm nowhere near Diffraction, oh so beautiful Right through the bars and gates
