Say Goodbye 04:03
lyrics

Say Goodbye ------------------ Don't have much to say And even less time to say it I think I'm doing okay In fact I think I am slaying it ----- You were never one To let me forget it You were never one To ever give me credit ----- Say goodbye Say goodbye To my footsteps on your floor Say goodbye Say goodbye You won't see me anymore No more No more See me any more ----- Ain't gonna try to ever make amends I'm just happy here alone watching reruns of "Friends" I don't care how you're doing Delete these messages you send ----- You were never one To let me run my life You were never one To run the gauntlet of the knife ----- Say goodbye Say goodbye To my footsteps on your floor Say goodbye Say goodbye You won't see me anymore No more No more See me any more ---------------- Say goodbye Say goodbye To my footsteps on your floor Say goodbye Say goodbye You won't see me anymore No more No more See me any more ----- Hey, I know you got your twisted reasons I'm just lying here in bed watching reruns of the seasons I'm not sitting here waiting Waiting for your call I'm really not missing you Not missing you at all -----

Once Lost Paradise 03:23

Once lost paradise ------------------- We have never reached this place before The waves have washed our hearts up on the shore Your face shows empty sunrise in your eyes Your face Your Beautiful face Foolish pride Empty feelings you can't hide Foolish games You've lost me all the same You roll the dice In our once lost paradise And we have never thrown our future to the wind Tearing at our love afraid will never mend Your arms that promise to hold me to the end Your arms Letting go Foolish pride Empty feelings you can't hide Foolish games You've lost me all the same You roll the dice In our once lost paradise Let's take a walk beyond the promised land I'll scratch your initials of love in the sand You were a mirror reflecting all our sun Our dreams fly apart and come undone The ending has begun A paradise left for one Foolish pride Empty feelings you can't hide Foolish games You've lost me all the same You roll the dice In our one last paradise Once lost paradise -------------------

Just forget about the ocean ------------------------- Just forget about the ocean We don't have to go that deep Just forget about the ocean Let the waves rock you to sleep ------------------------------ Out on the sea Far beyond the sky Out beyond the deepest blue Where arctic eagles fly ------------------------------ We can watch them circling Riding currents of the sun And just like you and me Their journey come undone ------------------------------ Just forget about the ocean We don't have to go that deep Just forget about the ocean Let the waves rock you to sleep ------------------------------ Live life above the surface Never go below Under water caves Coral white as snow ----------------------- Out on the sea Stars light the way Navigate your way to me And from my arms you'll stray ----------------------- Just forget about the ocean We don't have to go that deep Just forget about the ocean Let the waves rock you to sleep

Love is Blue 03:18

Love is blue ———————- Tried so hard to be your lover Tried so hard to be your only friend Wrapped up in a bow together Breaks my heart to see it end With you Love is blue --------------- Teardrops filling up the levy Teardrops flowing to the sea Better believe it I’m crying Trying to make you see It's true Love is blue ----------------- It's true Love is blue ----------------- True blue Love is blue ------------------

Watchtower Girl 04:40
lyrics

Watchtower Girl ———————— Watchtower girl she is waiting Watching over the valleys of my life And if I raise my head above the mountains (so tall) Misty in the early morning light Don’t how I came to wearing this despair Watchtower girl I see you waiting there ———————————— My life plays like a pulp fiction novel All battered, frayed and beat and torn Don’t know the line I took to getting here Running away from being born But there is an angel on my shoulder I see her more and more as I grow older As the evening beats the life out of the day And the weakness in my knees takes me down to pray ———————————— Watchtower girl she is waiting Watching over the valleys of my life And if I raise my head above the mountains (so tall) Misty in the early morning light Don’t how I came to wearing this despair Watchtower girl I see you waiting there ———————————— All these days are just droplets in a ocean And these waves are tears of my regret But there was a time buried in darkness my dear A time not easy to forget But for all these bad luck stories biting at my heels I have someone who knows the way I feel Just as the autumn of my life closes in I’m praying for the strength to start it up again ———————————— On the table I set down before me Three candles burning soft and low And in their flame I see the answer Telling me the way I ought to go And these gifts I lay down before you All my love lying unawares And for all those false prophets and saviours Watchtower girl you are always waiting there ———————————— Sometimes at night I watch you sleeping Switch positions on the game of our lives I draw the blinds and catch the moonlight Streaming through dark and empty night And for all the twists and turns I might have taken All the dead end streets I’ve somehow wandered down It’s taken this long for me to finally see The one I’m watching over is watching over me ———————————— Watchtower girl she is waiting Watching over the valleys of my life And if I raise my head above the mountains (so tall) Misty in the early morning light Don’t how I came to wearing this despair Watchtower girl I see you waiting there Watchtower girl you’ll always be there

LOck DOwn -------------------------- All alone in the garden of my life, now I saw you, turn and walk away Mystic flower You hold the power ------------- Over me You've lost that feeling and you're Over me You've brought the heavens down Over me I know you're leaving (for good this time) And It's breaking me down It's time to Lock down And save myself from your leaving --------------- I'm all alone on the pathway of my life now Time alone now Thru these passing hours ----------------- Over me You've lost that feeling and you're Over me You've brought the heavens down Over me I know you're leaving and It's breaking me down It's time to Lock down And save myself Save my soul -------------

Nardia ————- Nardia Why do you tear our love apart Nardia You dance in rhyme across my heart Nardia ------------- But you never follow through Just broken promises In a lonely heart tattoo You promised me You'd always be true What’s this man supposed to do? Nardia ------------- I've been holding on to nothing I've been holding on to lies I've been drowning in a desert You left me hanging from the skies Nardia --------------- Nardia Crazy writings off the wall Nardia Evening shadows at your fall Nardia ---------------- But you never call my name Just whisper absolutions They always play the same The closer I feel The further I get from you What’s this man supposed to do? Nardia ---------------- I've been holding on to nothing I've been falling through your sky I've been drowning in your desert I've been lost within your eyes

The used to be --------------------- Once I was a player Oh babe, I played the fool Once you were a mystery And I made you my rule ------------------ We can live in the past Just like any other We can search each others eyes Or just run for cover ------------------- Can't you see You and me That was just the used to be Moving on and breaking free The ties that bind From the used to be -------------------- Once you were my beauty Soft light caressed your skin Once you were my night-time lover Until I saw the light within -------------------- We can make our peace here and now and grow old together We can fold the creases of our lives And blame it on the weather --------------------- Can't you see You and me That was just the used to be Moving on and breaking free The ties that bind From the used to be ---------------------- Take that old calendar from the wall Don't expect the phone to call She don't come to call you and me And darling this thing will come to pass And her sea will turn to glass Say goodbye to the used to be ----------------------- We can live in the past Just like any other We can search each others eyes Or hide out under cover ------------------- Can't you see You and me That was just the used to be Moving on and breaking free The ties that bind To the used to be -------------------- Can't you see You and me That was just the used to be Moving on and breaking free The ties that bind The used to be

In its own write -------------------- You crossed my line that's your error Now you're in my rear view mirror Faded like a distant memory Write it down in crimson lines Edged in black it won't be fine We could've written history --------------- Is it true you don't want me Is it true then say good night If it's true then don't you haunt me Write it down in it's own right ----------------------- You took my time you took my fancy Gave you love but it was chancy should've seen the writing on the wall But in the end you always know it Truth comes out and then you show it Grow it like a poet from a tree -------------------------- Is it true you don't want me Is it true then say good night If it's true then don't you taunt me Write it down in it's own right ----------------------- In it's own write Say goodbye in it's own write ------------------------ Is it true you don't want me Is it true then say good night If it's true then don't you haunt me Write it down in it's own right ----------------------- Is it true you don't want me Is it true then say good night If it's true then don't you taunt me Write it down in it's own right Write it down And say goodbye
