Headlights

headlights on an endless road
nocturnal eyes blink once and I
am alone again but always beside me
the spectre the terrible ghost of you
slyly I wait for a judgement that never
arrives I will always arrive at his side
what is this companion a lucid dream dead
but alive his transparent knife in my side
and I hate to tell you coldly
but the melodrama suits me
and I don’t know how to do it
any other way I promised you so
many things so many ways
to live this life but with me
or without me you will always be
ok
we’re in the deep where the spectre sleeps
all round the car the shadows leap and fall away
in my mind’s eye they’re dancing forever
behind the rough heather and all through the trees
everything a transaction a give and a take
and up rises the ghost and my heart starts to break
o I gave you my love but I took it away
o and you gave me everything and promised to stay
well the trees as I left you they started to burn
and the wind it rose high and the reservoir burst
and the signal came all down the line
if you turn around now you might still have the time
if you turn around now you might still have the time
o and I hate to tell you coldly
but the melodrama suits me
and I don’t know how to do it
any other way I promised you so
many things so many ways
to live this life but with me
or without me you will always be ok
you will always be ok
you will always be ok
you will always be ok
you will always be ok

I'm Gonna Leave You
04:42
|

I’m gonna leave you
I’m gonna leave you
I’ll be sailing in my burning ship
forever
I look outside
I see eyes in the darkness
the eyes of the hunted
the eyes of the hunter
I’m gonna leave you
for this night is like no other
it went down in our history
like the sun on the water
the sun rises softly
on the other side
of that dividing line
always summer
listen to the signal
listen
something must have happened
someone must have known
but all my knowledge only
brought me sorrow
so I will follow
what I cannot know
from the street below
from the void above
questions always questions
coming down coming up
I watch you standing
on the riverbank waving
o god I love you
but it’s never been enough
you hit the road
my memory goes
the words are in the water
with the bait and the bones
I always loved you
like the wind loves the tall
pine forest
here and gone
listen to the signal
listen
something must have happened
someone must have known
but all my knowledge only
brought me sorrow
so I will follow
what I cannot know
if you see the dark clouds up ahead
I’m sailing through them
in a boat of lead

Deluge
03:44

first it was a deluge
then it was a tide
pulled me out to nowhere
pulled me from your side
and I just held on tightly
watched the hours pass
as all the streams dried up
and the sand it turned to glass
and nothing breaks the round horizon
nothing troubles that great blue
the metamorphosis
it never came for me or you
unendingly the wind
pours straight across the sea from the mouth of me
it is strange my love my love it is strange
feeling different all the time but always the same
what is this game
your mouth hung open
in incomprehension
your eyes were wide
your eyes were wide
I drowned inside
look in the air
I am not there
and nothing breaks the round horizon
nothing troubles that great blue
the metamorphosis
it never came for me or you
it never came for me or you

It Will Come True
02:41

one day it will all come true for you
the innocent who bore me through
those months when everything was scattered
in the gutters and the grates and the drains
beyond the high-walled limits of this city
beyond the motorway circling till the end of time
if I called you mine it’s just because
I didn’t have the courage for one more loss
and I remember from underwater
you were standing on the bank you were holding out your hand
you were pulling me up you were pulling me in
to your imperfect arms I sink again
one day it will all come true for you
who raised me up and made me new
a river when everything was desert
a shelter when everything was rain
a shelter when the sky broke open
above the gutters and the grates and the drains
beyond the high-walled limits of this city
beyond the motorway circling till the end of time
if I called you mine it’s just because
I didn’t have the courage for one more loss
and I remember from underwater
you were standing on the bank you were holding out your hand
you were pulling me up you were pulling me in
to your imperfect arms I sink again

Two Lines
04:47
|
|||
|
out on the frontier
time buckles and winds
it’s flat space there
just two lines
the horizon
your silhouette
and my body was cold in your bed
lines running through my head
one morning last week I was out in the street
and I felt something lift from my back
and then I remembered a word like a gift
in the deafening world as it spins and shifts
a word like a gift that was mercy
I was alive again in the land of men
why do you wait for me?
why do you wait?
I never let go for good
never understood
how to release you
that I could
that I should
holding on holding on holding on holding on
to the trinity of you and me
and him now he’s gone I say why carry on
but there are more important things
there are more honest things
than you and me remember it
remember it
as your fingers slip
I never let go for good
never understood
how to release you
that I could
that I should
I never let go for good
never understood
how to release you
how to release you
that I could
that I should
