Revelate
my simple slant, this broken chant
my human fate, my revelate
are you so far from me this day
that you can't say my revelate
my open arms, my lucky charms
my number eight, my revelate
I fucked it up, I rest my case
cause its all to grey, my revelate
sometimes I need a revelation
cause sometimes its all too hard
to take
sometimes I need a revelation
this time I'm making my own now
does this mean we're through
does this mean its gone
I spent a day just to ponder the
words
that I would write to you this day
but it's all to great, my revelate
sometimes I need a revelation
sometimes its all too hard to take
sometimes I need a revelation
this time its up in arms
this time I need you revelation
sometimes its all too much to take
this time I need you revelation
sometimes its easy just to hate you
sometimes I need a revelation
redeem yourself
redeem yourself
redeem yourself
Angel At My Table
there's an angel at my table
and she's broke her wings
she's packed her things
she said I'm the only one she'd turn
to
but there's a devil on my shoulder
and he's telling me she's so beautiful
and I should go up there and hold
her
and she's looking on
and how can I stay here
it wouldn't be what she wants
and I'm trying to break it easy
but she's pleading with me
will you be my anchor
when there is no one around to hold
me down
will you be my anchor
I know you're not the answer
there's an angel at my table
and she's blessed the breeze
that blows in-between her and everything
she's left in that haven
and I wish you'd call
but that devil's on my shoulder
and he's pulling me down
and I'm trying to keep a balance
but she's begging me
will you be my anchor
when there is no one around to hold
me down
will you be my anchor
I know you're not the answer
Fitzcarraldo
here back, down a long and strange
track
I have chose the long road
that leads me out to God knows
so I can't stop right now
even the good stars
can fall from grace and falter
lose their faith and slide
but I can't get an ocean that's deep
enough
for my day
it's the first of the ascension
it's a sad way we've flown after
the storm
and her last words were
I was only thinking of you
in my golden days, I was a slave
and now its time for
to sound your voice
and capture what you're after
my ship was sold right up the river
but I'm not going down here
this journey isn't over
it's a long way to the house of Fitzcarraldo
and her last words were
I was only thinking of you
in my golden days, I was a saint
even the good stars
can fall from grace and falter
like lap dogs that shroud their mystery
and her last words were
I'll see you down in history
it's the only way that we can go
[I shall eclipse you
its a long way to Fitzcarraldo
and I don't wanna break you
in the name of something true]
Evergreen
my evergreen
you are always gonna be
no winter winds
can take you far from me
those tides of time
have carved a few new lines
oh but they've never changed my mind
my evergreen
beside me you will be
when all the world was cold and golden
your colours ceased to bleed
oh my evergreen
you are always gonna be gonna be
keep on, keep on
cause your season's gonna come
when all these storms have passed
and done
this distance will be gone
and I swear we will be one
when this race has all been run
and I stole to see the hail
falling down in through your hair
through your hair
oh my evergreen
oh you are always gonna be
In This Boat Together
even if you had a friend
and you gave her half your life
don't think you can't blow the whole
thing down
and I could say it is my place
to speak of you so openly
cause you never hid your hand from
anyone
we're in this boat together babe
and we said when we pushed away the
shore
were in this boat together babe
and you'll bare your soul to anyone
and if I had a wish
I'd give it straight to you now
cause you look so unsure
of when you're coming down
we're in this boat together
and you'll be left without a leg
to stand
we're in this mess together
we said it when we pushed away the
shore
now we're in this mess together babe
and only the truth can get us back
up on the shore
Say It To Me Now
scratching at the surface now
and I'm trying hard to work it out
and so much has gone misunderstood
and this mystery only leads to doubt
and I'm looking for a sign
in this a dark uneasy time
so if you have something to say
say it to me now
and I'm not trying to pass the book
'buck'
I'm just trying to get a better book
as I'm wondering how it feels for
you
now that the shoe is on the other
foot
and I didn't understand
when you reached down to take my
hand
and if you have something to say
you'd better say it to me now
cause this is what you've waited
for
your chance to even up the score
and as these shadows fall
on me now
I will somehow
cause in clearing up this wreckage
lord
and there's more than you've ever
seen before
so if you have something to say
say it to me now
(chorus bit)
and I'm picking up a message lord
and I'm closer than I've ever been
before
so if you have something to say
say it to me now
Monument
I built a monument
to every word that's passed between
us
I built a monument
to stand through history
and I'll watch the hourglass
the time will pass and you'll rue
day love
you ever strayed so far from me
I built a monument
to make the time more easy passing
I built a monument
to stand up straight and free
when all's been said and done
the time will come
and it might be soon love
you'll see it more romantically
I built a monument
to all we were
I built a monument
to me and her
and now she's coming back
the roof has cracked
and the walls are falling
and all those bitter words
will flow back to the sea
I'll watch the hourglass
the time will pass and you'll rue
the day love
you ever strayed so far from me
I built a monument
to all we were
I built a monument
to me and her
Giving It All Away
there's only so much that you have
and you've got to keep it safe
you've been spreading it round the
place
now it's gotta come back this way
and you're giving it all away
you're giving it all away
and you're lying through your teeth
you said you found a song to sing
and you're riding on a wave
whatever helps you get along
and you're giving it all away
you're giving it all away
you're keeping nothing for yourself
you're just giving it all away
there's so much that you know
and there's so much that you don't
can you not accept its all the same
just accept its all the same
and you're giving it all away
Red Chord
I'm pulling on the red chord
that pulls you back to me lord
that helps me out
when you're away
and I was in the army
when they called you back to save
me
and I was resting soft
in the arms of my war
and I'm pulling on the red chord
so you're not so far away
I was at the uni
at the university of
blind love
and black poetry
and it was there
I found you
and you were happy like an angel
but for everything you knew
there's something you must let go
of
and I'm pulling on the red chord
that pulls you back to me lord
Denounced
are you feeling so abandoned
have your crutches all been stolen
and broken
now sometimes you've got to fall
just to remember how far from the
bottom you are
have I got your full attention
cause these words don't come so easy
now
we know what's gonna happen
this is getting us nowhere
and we've been there
I did denounce this
and here I am with you
before we lose the rest
lets go with what we've left
are you holding it together
are you facing all the hardest and
roughest parts
the sign we passed along the way
said you've come this far
now you're on your own
and I'm stopping here
I did denounce this
I did denounce this
and so did you
before we lose it all
let's try to call it off
I did denounce this
Your Face
I was thinking about your face
rolling up the river
I was worried what you thought
and I'm sorry if I can't remember
but there's no time for crying
only time for trying now
I remember your name
cause you sang it to me often
I was lying down beside
the river where we met
and now you face is hiding something
something is burning
and I'm gonna wait for you
I've got to end this tape to you
and I'm gonna wait for you
cause I know something about you
something about the things you do
something about your voice
that reams in the good stars
it reams in the good stars
there's a road that follows everywhere
you go
I stole your golden chaser
but I never meant to steal
its not in my nature
but if you try again I'll fall
and if you want to save it all
then all you have to do is give
give me that look again
give me that look
cause I'm gonna wait for you
I've got to send this tape to you
and I'm gonna wait for you
Roger
your big motor
steelish steel
it fills my wings
enough to fly
I sent a letter on a stone
through your window down the hall
one more day
still stuck in here
I burnt my words
on a beaten stove
I sent my love a golden song
but a simple tune to hum along
she played my hearts strings with
a bow
and the bow fire cracked out like
a drum
I sent my love a golden song
but a simple beat to tap along
she plays me like a rubber bow
and the bow fire fizzed out with
the dawn
I feel in love with a girl called
Roger |
