빛바랜 너의 기억이 흩날리고 이따금씩 생각에 잠겨 난 거울에 비친 나와 눈을 맞추고 못다 한 얘기 속에 머물러 눈을 감아 보는 걸 담담한 눈빛 속 그 안에 가득 찬 네 얼굴이 떠올라 (네가 떠올라) 긴 한숨으로 채워만 가 오늘도 밤새 비가 내려와 빗소리로 채워둔 나 차마 비워내지 못한 채로 열어둔 작은 흔적마저 거대할 만큼 날 덮친 그리움에 멈추어둔 오늘도 네 안에 머물러 오늘도 너만이 채워줄 오늘도 긴 어둠만 쓰게 삼키던 네 추억과 다툰 밤이 지나도 고요해진 새벽과 함께 밀려온 긴 공허함을 떨치고 싶어 너를 그려 보는 걸 네 맘 다 느껴져 얼마나 많은 걸 비워 내야 했을지 (이런 내게서) 긴 그리움만 저물어 가 오늘도 밤새 비가 내려와 빗소리로 채워둔 나 차마 비워내지 못한 채로 열어둔 작은 흔적마저 거대할 만큼 날 덮친 그리움에 멈추어둔 오늘 언제라도 웃으며 나를 부를 듯한 네 빈자리에서 아직도 난 (Always) 못 다 비운 어둠이 남겨 둔 네 모습에 기대 잠이 들어가 툭하면 파고드는 후회들 속 급히 밟는 brake 더 가면 위험해 I know, yeah 다른 곳으로 시선을 돌려 난 맘을 다잡지 시간마다 날 더 다그치고 보고 싶은 마음 접어두고 언제나 올까 열어둔 이 방을 채워줄 널 기다리는 중 밤새 네가 내려와 내 맘 가득 채워둔 나 애써 외면하지 못해 너로 새겨둔 네 흔적에 겨우 숨을 쉴 만큼 더 거친 그리움에 살아가 난 오늘도 네 안에 머물러 오늘도 너만이 채워줄 오늘도 oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 오늘도 oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 오늘도

I remember finding out about you Every day, my mind is all around you Looking out from my lonely room Day after day Bring it home, baby, make it soon I give my love to you I remember holding you while you sleep Every day, I feel the tears that you weep Looking out of my lonely gloom Day after day Bring it home, baby, make it soon I give my love to you Looking out of my lonely room Day after day Bring it home, baby, make it soon I give my love to you I remember finding out about you Every day, my mind is all around you Looking out of my lonely gloom Day after day Bring it home, baby, make it soon I give my love to you

DAY AFTER DAY Day after Day, seems so long Since I held you close at night, In my arms... You slipped away and were gone I never thought I'd be so alone, Lost as I am... Gray, passing wave, here it comes The sleep I've always dreamed of... Where I can be with you You in a veil that was thrown To shade the light of your eyes, ...shining at me As I try, I'm gonna find you again, And hope our love would flower... in the darkness I'll holding onto the pain, even in vain Like waiting for a rain... in a desert garden... Day after Day on every word Listening for sounds of true love, ...so unheard Heart on the mend, in the end Beating out my fantasies... When I had faith As I try, I'm gonna find you again, And hope our love would flower... in the darkness I'll holding on to the pain, even in vain Like waiting for a rain... in a desert garden...

Why do the birds sing so early in the dawn? Their honeysuckle melodies, before my day's alarm I imagine they're rehearsing for some big, elaborate show That I've not been invited to, so I should never know The songs they like to sing, I suppose they're not too far From all the songs I sing, when I'm alone late in my car (when I'm alone late in my car) And if I were the postman awake for the afternoon I'd be the lucky someone eavesdropping on their tunes But I think I like it better when I sleep late past their call For all I know, perhaps the birds don't even sing at all We are nothing Love comes easily to you But not the hurt You're impervious to blue I wish I knew How to sing about the other colors too

Jumped and took a fall Expected I would fly I didn't know that wings Were made of wax and wires But I forgive the sun For burning like it's June 'Cause bones can always mend But there's only one of you You're gravity to me You keep me in my place And without your pull I'd just be lost in space I'm tethered to your heart Oh, any distance wide When whispering your words I hear them amplified And I'm out here on a limb In this vacuum of two So believe when I say That my eyes see only you You're gravity to me You keep me in my place And without your pull I'd just be lost in space

I'm traveling in some vehicle I'm sitting in some cafe A defector from the petty wars That shell shock love away There's comfort in melancholy When there's no need to explain It's just as natural as the weather In this moody sky today In our possessive coupling So much could not be expressed So now i'm returning to myself These things that you and i suppressed I see something of myself in everyone Just at this moment of the world As snow gathers like bolts of lace Waltzing on a ballroom girl You know it never has been easy Whether you do or you do not resign Whether you travel the breadth of extremities Or stick to some straighter line Now here's a man and a woman sitting on a rock They're either going to thaw out or freeze Listen... Strains of benny goodman Coming thru' the snow and the pinewood trees I'm porous with travel fever But you know i'm so glad to be on my own Still somehow the slightest touch of a stranger Can set up trembling in my bones I know - no one's going to show me everything We all come and go unknown Each so deep and superficial Between the forceps and the stone Well i looked at the granite markers Those tribute to finality - to eternity And then i looked at myself here Chicken scratching for my immortality In the church they light the candles And the wax rolls down like tears There's the hope and the hopelessness I've witnessed thirty years We're only particles of change i know, i know Orbiting around the sun But how can i have that point of view When i'm always bound and tied to someone White flags of winter chimneys Waving truce against the moon In the mirrors of a modern bank >from the window of a hotel room I'm traveling in some vehicle I'm sitting in some cafe A defector from the petty wars Until love sucks me back that way
