The sleepless nights - the daily fights The quick toboggan - when you reach the heights I miss the kisses - and I miss the bites I wish I were in love again The broken dates - the endless waits The lovely loving - and the hateful hates The conversation - with the flying plates I wish I were in love again No more pain - no more strain Now I'm sane - but I would rather be punched - drunk The pulled out fur - of cat and cur The fine mismating - of a him and her I've learned my lesson - but I wish I were In love again The furtive sigh - the blackened eye The words: "I love you - 'til the day I day" The self deception - that believes the lie I wish I were in love again When love congeals - it soon reveals The faint aroma - of performing seals The double-crossing - of a pair of heals I wish I were in love again No, no more care - no, no despair Now I'm all there (now) - but I'd rather be puncdrunk Believe me sir - I much prefer The classic battle - of a him and her I don't like quiet - and I wish I were In love again - in love again - in love again

Holding my breath and keeping it down I'm not the same without you I know you guessed it's easily found I can't stop thinking about you And I wish you were here now And I wish you were here And I wish you were here now And I wish you were here I wish you were here now I can't stop thinking about you I can't stop thinking about you Looking to catch your face in a crowd My eyes they used to find you Out of the darkness behind the clouds Nothing could hide me from you Looking to catch your face in a crowd Out of the darkness behind the clouds And I wish you were here now I wish you were here I wish you were here now I wish you were here I wish you were here now Ohh I wish you were here I wish you were I wish you were I wish you were

I wish you were fun I wish you were fun in every way I wish you were fun To brighten the dark cold winter day In every other way I find you amazing but one I wish you were fun I wish you were fun I wish you were fun I wish you were fun to be around I wish you were fun You say that your favorite color's brown In every other way I find you amazing but one I wish you were fun I wish you were fun No one ever changes, why even bring it up? You'll only muck it up, she'll never yuck it up You know she's from somewhere where Authority ruled supreme, no would ever dream Dream of just letting off some steam I wish you were fun You've got it all covered 'cept for that I love how you run With such a determined look at that I shouldn't let it phase me at all but I'm just plain old dumb I wish you were fun I wish you were fun La la la la La la la la la la la la la No one ever changes, why even mention it? Calling attention it leads to the tension that's not Helpful, back off and accept what you have in hand Glad that she's no Ayn Rand, humorless to the Nth degree La la la la la I wish you were fun La la la la la la la la la Fun in every way La la la la la I wish you were fun La la la la Have some Chardonnay In every other way I find you amazing but one I wish you were fun I wish you were fun I wish you were fun And maybe you're fun in subtle ways Too subtle for me, but maybe I'll get it all one day But how about a somersault until you are blatantly fun Do that, I'd be stunned I wish you were fun La la la la In every other way I find you amazing but one I wish you were fun I wish you were fun

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
