There's a place I know of in the western state Lost to any map that you can find Streets are made of cobble getting older Houses fade like coal after a fire I don't know where I'm going Somewhere I don't need to have a plan I don't know who I'm fighting now Anyone who falls across my hand Say no more, I'm gone And who is emptier than who? Still you're waiting there against the black Just to see me coming back But I don't think I'm likely to do that I'm gonna be so different if you find me You wont even realise I'm your man Slow and sure the coast will redefine me Turn me into sycamore and sand I don't know where I'm going Somewhere where the water meets the land I don't know why your troubling now Nobody can change who I now am Say no more, I'm gone And who is emptier than who? Still you're waiting there against the black Just to see me coming back But I don't think I'm likely to do that No I don't think I'm likely to do that

Noone's ever coming round here no not ever anymore Rapping on the window or a'knocking on the kitchen door Noone's really taking any trouble like I used to see People dropping by as if the twilight was an amnesty Saying this is harder than I ever thought was possible Can't hide it anymore because the truth is indestructible Wear it like a sickness that I didn't catch too easily Like I'm waiting till someone with a shovel comes to bury me Silence has got to be broken Sleeping and then you are woken Eyes come open to see Something has got to be spoken Everything must be forsaken You' ve been taken From me Free you But I can't free you No I can't free you Whatever I do Have you ever suffered through the days of summer lost in blue Hoping that the one thing that you need will heed and come to you Watching as the clock forgets and drops its sense of courtesy Listening to songs that once were friends but now are enemies Silence has got to be broken Sleeping and then you are woken Eyes come open to see Something has got to be spoken Everything must be forsaken You' ve been taken From me Free you But I can't free you No I can't free you Whatever I do

Ever since I can remember Chasing love was just a way of spending time Until you came around, in you I found a shelter No need for me to fight the great desire I lost myself in your mesmerizing smile Tried to get your full attention You diminished all the tension in me With nothing more to say Here comes the rain The never ending flood River of burning hope inside you No need to be afraid Here comes the rain To wash away the stain Takes away every doubt inside you No need to fight it back Here comes the rain Filling you up with hope Here comes the rain Opening up your soul Here comes the rain Can't image all the days I hunted what I thought was love But I was wrong, illusionized You made me recall, why The chasing is a try to seal the hole You healed the emptiness inside of me You erased my false intentions You diminished all the tension in me With nothing more to say Here comes the rain The never ending flood River of burning hope inside you No need to be afraid Here comes the rain To wash away the stain Takes away every doubt inside you No need to fight it back Here comes the rain Filling you up with hope Here comes the rain Opening up your soul Here comes the rain Together we defeat every threat Making movements we'll never forget I'm safe under your shield Living fantasy

The cash machine Is blue and green For a hundred in 20's And a small service fee I could spend three dollars And 63 cents On diet Coca-Cola And unlit cigarettes I wonder why We listen to poets When nobody gives a fuck How hot and sorrowful This machine begs for luck All my lies are always wishes I know I would die If I could come back new I want a good life With a nose for things A fresh wind and bright sky To enjoy my suffering A hole without a key If I break my tongue Speaking of tomorrow How will it ever come All my lies are always my wishes I know I would die If I could come back new I'm down on my hands and knees Every time the doorbell rings I shake like a toothache When I hear myself sing All my lies are only wishes I know I would die If I could come back new I would like to salute The ashes of American flags And all the falling leaves Filling up shopping bags
