Something Is Breaking - Will Varley

Who am I to say what I believe i S the way things should be What am I to think what I've got Is what everyone wants So what makes you so perfect man What makes you think that you're so special She is everything that I could ever be She is everything that I believe in Can't you see that she and me Are the way things should be I'm the type that thinks that Everything will somehow work out So I'm inclined to think that Maybe she really needs me So what makes you so perfect man What makes you think that you're so special She is everything that I could ever be She is everything that I believe in Can't you see that she and me Are the way things should be Can't you see that she and me Are the way things could be Everything that I am Everything that I'm not She is Everything I can do Everything I could ever need But everything that I can do Is everything everything you've done Everyday you're in my way And everyway you're in the way And everyway you're in the way You're always gettin in my way She is everything that I could ever be She is everything that I believe in (4x)

Something is changing Can read it in your sad wet eyes The strangest thing is that I don't mind I see you flowing through my fingers while I don't try to stop Your fearless ride I'm too young to blame Too woman to cry Over a dream that I know won't survive I guess that it's too late we're far from the thrills We once had as habits And now we try to buy Now that it's too late And nothing seems real Please don't waste our chances For brand new wishes I'm begging you please Don't deny how good it is We've got a new road A new way to be You're too man to fake Too wise to lie When we both know That staying here makes us die I guess that it's too late we're far from the thrills We once had as habits And now we try to buy Now that it's too late And nothing seems real Please don't waste our chances For brand new wishes Now that it's too late Nothing seems real Please don't waste our chances For brand new wishes

Outside, over there Where the war was raging Run little child, far from home The Lord will take you with Him As mushrooms, high as mountains, Came from Neptune's submarines A little girl named Ida lived in a shack up by the sea Her daddy was away at war, Her mother had lost her mind So Ida in the harbor softly sang her lullabies To hush her baby sister And to calm her mother's shakes And by the waves a'crashing, For her father she would wait One evening Ida sang a song Soft as May breeze blows When a blinding flash of light came Her eyes began to close And devils in their hooded cloaks Through the window climbed They took her sister from her crib And ran off in the night When Ida looked to check the crib When finally she arose She saw a figure made of ice Melting by the stove Outside, over there Where the war was raging Run little child, far from home The Lord will take you with Him Ida put on her mother's coat And walked out to the cliffs The sky was scarred with napalm The hills were drowned with mist She buried a rose in the ground And started up the road To find her sister in the night And safely bring her home There were soldiers in the twilight Thieves drinking by the caves She just listened up for her daddy's voice To come drifting 'cross the waves On the edge of Neptune's kingdom Was a forest and it was said That any man who went in there Was never seen again But Ida clutched her mother's coat And pressed on through the trees For in the ground she saw the tracks Of wretched devils' feet The path ahead grew fainter As the branches tied in knots And Ida felt like every step she took was being watched Outside, over there Where the war was raging Run little child, far from home The Lord will take you with Him Where deep amongst the wild woods The girl began to tire When she came across a cabin Windows flickered with a fire She knocked upon a wooden door An old man showed his face With kind eyes like her fathers And a beard long and grey She saw her sister sleeping Near two angels wearing hoods She had some supper Then she slept to dream about the woods After three days passed The mist had cleared The sky was clear and bright She took her sister in her arms And bid the man goodbye She ran back through the forest Saw no soldiers and no thieves 'Till she found herself back up At the shack by the sea But when she flung her arms around her mother she shed tear For the woman stood before her was blind and aged by thirty ears She said, "Oh, my darling Ida, my wait is at an end. As this rosebush grew I prayed each day that we would meet again. So they sat out in the evening And the sun shot all around 'Till early the next morning When their bodies were found Outside, over there Where the war was raging Run little child, far from home The Lord will take you with Him

Finished writing this song in the summer Now im watching the snowflakes fall As the years go by I wonder if I Really like you at all I woke up this morning In a strange town The truth is i thought I'rd be dead by now I guess I keep on going Till they find me out With love from halcyon

Summer rain is getting dark Emptiness were never part Time of Rosemarie Trapped by memories Fairy Lights and plastic guns Like two lovers on the run Carport airplanes At least in blood stain I can hear the clock downstairs Takes fear to be scared I made a life for you But you just rolled on through Thats the last night I give to you before I die I'm not sorry that I, I'm not sorry that I try Thats the last time Saw the light behind your eyes Future's coming for us now In this house You can go your seperate ways But these shadows will remain This is hard without you But it's no fun without you Printed flies are black and white Faded Jeans down much to tight Boxes are broken strains I left it with your things in Died in harm and smartly dressed

Who would of thought it would finish lke this At the back of a bus at 2: 36 And you try to explain why things aren't the same You've grown up a little you haven't really changed And a song came on just before dawn You tried to catch sleep but she's run off to torment your mind And you lie there awake and unerved And you really don't like the first verse And your thinking about the universe Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind Seize the night, do your best to lose track of time Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long Cos if you know where you are when you wake up If you know where you are when you wake up If you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong Never knew it would take this long The same old streets the same old songs The same wise words from old man John Where does he go now the grey horse is gone Close down a twelve bar last week I remember you dancing on Denmark street Asking where we're going next Those are the days i'll always know best Thier ripping this city siyle off his chest Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind Seize the night, and do your best to lose track of time Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long Cos if you know where you are when you wake up If you know where you are when you wake up If you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong Well its just black 17 and red number 5 Ten minutes to the pound four years of your life Wish i could write a letter to pass the warning its gonna happen so fast Johnny used to say he believed in ghosts They were the little things he loved the most Well we never got rich and we never got famous I heard that Alice got married in Vages If you see her tell her i said goodbye And i never forgot that faitful valentine And i never forgot the tears in her eyes Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind Seize the night, and do your best to lose track of time Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long Cos if you know where you are when you wake up If you know where you are when you wake up If you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong Well if you blink you will miss it When the times are a changin Cause its out of fashion when its on TV Before you know it your eyes are raging Your telling your kids it used to me Well we got off the bus, a kiss on the cheek Said maybe i'd give you a call next week But we both know those calls will never come Well as long as we're still breathing there will be somewhere left to run Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind Seize the night, and do your best to lose track of time Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long Cos if you know where you are when you wake up If you know where you are when you wake up If you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong
