Starry Night

It was a starry night that I really wanted
to be held captivated
to be held all pain-faded
brows knit together in the chaos we find
It was a starry night that I really wanted
to be embraced close and I
lost in your starry eyes
love is patient , love is kind
your sweet lips respecting mine
It was a starry night that I really wanted
words like this were made to be whispered
as I fall deeper and deeper
into chaos neither of us mind
what will we find
It was a starry night that I really wanted
it's simple and it's complicated
I'm not sure if I was meant to steal your kisses
I'm not sure about anything anymore
I don't think it was a starry night I wanted
I think the stars , they always knew
it was the stars in your eyes that I really wanted
what I wanted all that time was you

Cigarettes by the seaside
and the waves have washed away our dreams
Cigarettes by the seaside
and the water’s almost at my feet
Say my name, and say it
loud enough for me to hear
so I know you’re there
The only thing I want to feel is love
I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
Cigarettes by the seaside
and the waves have washed away our dreams
Cigarettes by the seaside
and the water’s almost at my feet
We search for that which we never find
The ocean’s deep and to keep in mind:
We’re against the tide
But though it’s hard, we carry on
Keep on sailing through the storms
and maybe that’s just life
Cigarettes by the seaside
and we wonder when the storm will pass
Cigarettes by the seaside
to make it safely home at last

Feathers

If I was a simple leaf
would you be my evergreen
And if I was a sailboat
would you be my open sea
I got my eyes on you ,
seeing blue with a sweet surrender ,
lost intent that I’m longing to be true
And if you leave me now
and fly into the clouds
I’ll never see your feathers taking flight again
and when you touch the sky , way up high
I’ll smile softly , wipe my tears
and slowly wave goodbye
Summer nights would be better
darling if only you were here
but if I write you a letter
would you write me back my dear
cos when I gaze at the crescent moon
lying underneath the stars
I miss your hand when it touches mine
feeling warm with happy hearts
I got my eyes on you ,
seeing blue with a sweet surrender ,
lost intent that I’m longing to be true
If you leave me now
and fly into the clouds
I’ll never see your feathers taking flight again
and when you touch the sky , way up high
I’ll smile softly , wipe my tears
and slowly wave goodbye

I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the lord
but you don't really care for music do you
It goes like this , the fourth , the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
the beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah
Baby we've been here before
we've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch but
love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well maybe there's a God above
but all I've ever learnt from love
is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
It's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not someone who has seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well wood burns , and metal rusts
so darling what's to become of us
When the weather turns , and they say it must
well we'll need coats for the both of us
But the wool is thin and it's full of holes
and there's no heating this abandoned bus
So will we go alone
out on our own
Oh darling what's to become of us
Well boats sink into the sea
and airplanes they crash like computer screens
Signals fail , trains derail
and car bonnets crumple like magazines
Till they're put in piles
like stacks of tiles
In a yarn full of fridges and broken stuff
Will we go alone
out on our own
Oh darling what's to become of us
We will bite our noses off to spite our faces
both of us will rust like metal fences in the rain
You will pour the gasoline and I will spark the matches
we will burn within our fire
we will burn within our flames
Well yeast ferments , and milk sours
when it's out of the fridge for too many hours
Will we lament in separate towers
never knowing if we're brave or if we're cowards
For the pour cement down this hole of ours
and we'll be stuck under stones and flowers
Will we go alone
out on our one
Oh darling that's what will become of us
