Moon Face

The bells rang out
That cold morning of doubt
Then I understood what I craved
It has always been your beautiful moon face

You were someone unknown
Moved here from your home
And it was all I could do not to stare
And imagine my future with you somewhere

So here we are
Ten days apart
And there is nothing for it
But I won't quit until I get it

Your words were calm
Spoken at the break of dawn
With all our needs broken
Still I have your words spoken

Your image could be clearer
Our spirits wanting to avoid danger
And I thought ten days wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Don't give it up
Its for us to bite the lip and shut up
To grab hold and wait
For this life that we anticipate

Thin As Smoke

What will she do when it all comes undone?
What secrets has she shared with the Arizona sun?
The one who has her in this spell
Never paid the cost once she fell

Now she lives like a hermit in her head
And every emotion she wishes it dead
She had a love unlike any other
But when night comes she stirs alone under the covers

Do you feel you'll ever get it
Do you ever feel like its not worth it
Do you ever feel anything anymore...

So now when she's at work she'll joke
And pretend that her life isn't as thin as smoke
And her radio is the only thing that understands her
If only it could make everything all better

All the strange faces she can't stand
If only one would grab her and make him her man
She is done dreaming of it
And wants the man with whom she can grow old with

Now all she sees are dark grey clouds
In the distance growing closer with every hour
She asks God "what went wrong?"
Not caring she turns her back and moves on

Do you feel you'll ever get it
Do you ever feel like its not worth it
Do you ever feel anything anymore...

All Over You

Your stories are all over you
And in the morning I'll call you
Can you not find the simple clue
With your eyes painted all so natural blue

And some day my pain will rock you
So harness your blame and rock thru
Solace was my gain when I sought you
So in the morning I'll call you

Oh what might have been lost
So don't bother me please
Please don't bother me

Fathom

I cannot fathom
The resistance given
Once these words are spoken
And I cannot picture
The emotion given
Emotion you've shared with him

If only you could see me
I feel completely incomplete
I become undone
And hide within the drugs

You're so blind
You can't save me this time
Oh this comes from deep inside
I feel so powerless tonight

I wish you could see
This stranger they call Robbie
Oh look what you've done to me
You have always had perfect timing

Does he call you "Love"
Does he know what you call home
I would give my hands
To feel your love, to be your man

Just keep my heart where the sun still glows
Keep my memory clean as snow
Hold your head high
As you enter the clubs at night
Maybe no one will ever know

What have you done to me
Look how you've killed everything you mean to me

Falling

I am not sure what she said
I loved how her silky words flowed
How her face filled the corners of my head
And I am sure my English she didn't know

We walked the hot market streets
Simply smiling and falling
In love with the simple gestures of meaning
It is love when our eyes meet

With a simple touch
I let her know
I was falling quick
And in that second I tasted her kiss

The day began to fade
Under that bruised setting sun
She walked to the bus
And she left me where it all had begun

Though I returned
To that dirty market street
I failed to see; I failed to meet
The girl I couldn't understand
I hope she knows just how much she meant to me

Off London Road

I became lost in your eyes from across the Pub
This Yank looking for a conversation to start up
With my courage used up I turned to go
Silently wandering the snow in Glasgow

The sound of your keys stopped me
Under the street light you looked so lovely
My foreign mind stumbled over the words
"Names are worthless; can I spend my time with yours?"

All I have left of that night
Are silent clips of your smile in my mind
I stole a kiss near Glasgow Green
Then decided to tell you I was leaving

Off London Road you gave me your name
And I said it aloud to myself again and again
"I shall always hate the Atlantic now"
All I could manage was"I know"

So I boarded my plane
With this picture of us and her name
I thought of us on your sofa
"I need you so much closer"

The clouds opened up
And now I am home
Thinking of what happened off London Road
And a whisper softly spoken by her
"I need you so much closer"

Jenny Lake

I called late
You were with him
"We can't talk about it now."
So one last word, then I'll go
Can we pretend it was something so much more?

I spent two weeks at Jenny Lake
With the summer sun pouring down my face
You were the girl that meant the world to me
She was beautiful
And she meant the world to me

So one last kiss before you go
Before his car door shuts behind the world I know
This was, to me, more than words
Your light brown hair against my lips
Its all over now and I'd better get used to it

A summer love
She was so beautiful
But I didn't mean a thing to her
