Mother Cries

In a moment
You’re caught off guard
Something hits you
An old postcard
The sum contents
Of a life gone
A story kept
But not passed on
It hurts you when you hear the truth
Mother cries
But no-one minds
A distant thought
Another time
You hear voices
And someone calls
They come tripping down
Wooden halls
It makes you stop
Yeah, it makes you pause
A cloudy day
When the sun broke through
No photographs
Just a passing bloom
Like a swallow
Through an empty hall
A fleeting moment
Before you’re called
By someone you never knew
It hurts you when you hear the truth
From someone you never knew
Oh, it’s ever so late
Oh, it’s ever so late

Girl In The Park

Girl in the park
With a brittle heart
She drinks because she’s lonely
Why do you care
Why do you give a damn
This world is screwed
What’s it to you?
If I throw my life away?
I don’t give a damn
I’m used to how I am
Are you a better man?
Or are you blind?
Nothing in this life is ever simple
She knows
Just what she’s after
Gentle respite
In this half light
That comes to save her
Then go home
Talk about the neighbors
Through a haze of smoke
And a mood remote
That comes to take her
Away from here
Away from here
Tell me the truth
If it was up to you
Would you make the choices I did?
Or would you go a different way
For happiness and
Can you feel, or do you heal
Quicker than the next man?
Don’t tell me how to cope
Or how to pass the time
Leave me, I’ll be fine
In a little while
Nothing in this life was ever simple
Unless you count the times you were sinful

Alone In This Room
03:30

I cried when you told me the truth and then
Put down the phone and began my suffering
Like you, I’ve been burned before
Why pretend, that everything is right
Just because you’re not alone at night
Oh, what the hell, I could do with a friend
Alone in this room
I feel there’s something missing
I replaced it with you
I think that I just gave in
And now that you’re gone
I can see, there’s nothing left but me
Stand up, and begin again
Dry your eyes, what were you thinking then?
You’re on your own, you always are in the end
I was lucky, to know you when I did
I was thoughtless, I was just a kid
So romantic, but just as selfish too

Sweetheart
02:51

You are a vision
You are a fleeting lie
You’re a thing of beauty
Shot right through me
Till the day I die
You are an ideal
You are a state of mind
You’re a kind of yearning
For something better
That got left behind
And now, I see
Your face at the window
I reach, but I fail
And that is all that I know
Why can’t I just let go?
Love is an image
Before it ever begins
When you’re quite lonely
Romantic only
You’re still a kid
You were my sweetheart
You were my going home
You were the love that I had
Before all that
Back in the unknown
