The hope I had
02:57
|

|
The last ten years seemed to disappear over night
Like a Translux bus up the coast
And heading out of sight
Home for good, well that's really just a state of mind
You've got to blend all the old that you had
With all the new that you find
And the old folk just seem more mad
And the young ones are all so sad
Oh my God what happend to the hope I had?
I had it in my hands, I had it in my hands
Oh my God where is this promised land?
There's nothing here but sand
Nothing here but sand...

Lost and Found

I need someone to depend on
Lord it's true
I need someone who'll be strong
And see things through
Well you might be the one I've been looking for
I've knocked upon a thousand doors
But all I've found
Is lonely eyes
And you
I need someone I can lean on
Lord it's true
I need someone who'll tell me
Only the truth
Well you might be the one I've been looking for
I've searched the corners of the world
But all I've found
Is lonely eyes
And you

Saving all your pennies
For a cold and rainy day
Never leave the house
All's quiet in Oberon Way
Won't somebody check my pulse
Won't somebody check my pulse
I'm slipping away
I'm slipping away
Walking round my room
Talking to myself again
I read my horoscope
So I know what's coming my way
Won't somebody check my pulse
Won't somebody check my pulse
I'm slipping away
I'm slipping away

In your mind
01:36
|
|||
|
It's the same old story
No guts then no glory
All the things that make you worry
Are only inside of your mind
I wish you'd put them aside
What's he going to do for money?
How will he support a family?
Will he ever choose to marry?
All those thoughts in your mind
I wish you'd put them aside
All those thoughts in your mind
Well they're not my desires
All those thoughts in your mind
They're just making me tired

These daze
03:32
|
|||
|
Your independence is a joy to see
Your positive approach inspires me
And the way that you lead
With your heart on your sleeve
My therapist said something deep to me
You won't be happy 'till you start to see
That it's strange that when there's sun
You keep your raincoat on
So what's it going to be, Baby?
You're looking healthy guess it must be the weed
You seem more focused and have good energy
I guess it's true what they say
That people can change
I've stopped these tablets meant to help with sleep
I keep a journal where my thoughts are leaked
And these daze they slip away
So quietly
So what's it going to be, Baby?

Hinting at issues
But the pennies not dropping again
Packing the same shit
Into these small spaces and then
Leave the world in the way you came
Leave the world in the way you came
Pointing the finger
Looking for someone to blame
Scraping the bottom
Looking for scraps you can save
Pull the cord and let me drift away
Pull the cord and let me slip away
Just another month
Justabunchofdaze
Just another year
It's all the same

Sometimes you are a wandering
Sometimes you are at home
Sometimes you are surrounded
Sometimes you are alone
Sometimes you are ahead of things
Sometimes you fall behind
Sometimes the doors are closed to you
Sometimes they're open wide
So let your life unfold naturaly
And breathe in
And breathe out
Breathe
Sometimes you see things clearly
Sometimes your view's obscured
Sometimes your mind is cloudy
Sometimes it will feel pure
Sometimes you're faced with anger
Sometimes you're faced with love
Sometimes you feel invincible
Sometimes not strong enough
So let your life unfold naturaly
And breathe in
And breathe out
Breathe
Sometimes you will be captive
Sometimes you will be free
Sometimes there will be happiness
Sometimes there will be grief
Sometimes you will be certain
Sometimes you're not so sure
Sometimes your spirits wealthy
Sometimes it will be poor
So let your life unfold naturaly
And breathe in
And breathe out
Breathe
