Everything I've Got in My Pocket
I want to lay down with you forever
Or just this afternoon
Watching the shadows getting long
I'll sing you a quiet song
Watch you sleep, slow and deep
Baby I know that all your pain will pass
I know you're sad, but it won't last
I'm betting you everything that I've got in my pocket
When you're staring out into the sky
See what you have
And don't ask why
Things can't be different
They're perfect
I want to remind you how you laugh
Sometimes you don't even make a sound
Till you fall down on the ground
And I'm going to love you every day
And maybe it'll balance out the pain
I can't take away
Baby I know that all your pain will pass
I know you're sad, but it won't last
I'm betting you everything that I've got in my pocket
When you're staring out into the sky
See what you have and don't ask why
Things can't be different
They're perfect
So come on and lay down with me
I'll tell you all the useless things
That I have learned
But there’s one good thing my old man told me
Baby I know that all your pain will pass
I know you're sad, but it won't last
I'm betting you everything that I've got in my pocket
When you're staring out into the sky
See what you have, and don't ask why
Things can't be different
They're perfect
Oh they’re perfect

So Well
I will pass by your house and not look
I won't pick up the phone
I'll read a book
I will put your pictures in a wooden box
I will fit my heart next time
With fewer locks
I can let you go
I can let you go
But I can lie as well
Ask my friends how you’re doing
They say you're doing well
But you can lie as well
So well
I won't feel the rush of you under my skin
My poor brain will play your voice
I'm not tuning in
Too soon to know the first thing I'll forget
I can let you go
But not your memory yet
I can let you go
I can let you go
But I can lie as well
Ask my friends how you’re doing
You say you're doing well
But you can lie as well
So well
I will put your pictures in a wooden box
And I will find a heart next time
With fewer locks
I can let you go
I can let you go
But I can lie as well
Ask myself how you’re doing
You say you’re doing well
But you can lie as well,
So well so well ooh
So well ooh

Invisible Girl
Panda eyes and your sister's dress
That you took and you tore
And you know that you got a long walk home
Pick your way over drunken shapes on the lawn by the pool
And you lost both your shoes that his Mom's gonna find
Her dress,
Your shoes,
Little flower bruise
Old smoke in your hair,
No subway fare, but you don't care
Heart shines like a neon sign
For tonight won't you just be mine
Invisible girl, in the sodium light
She's the Queen of the Night
Crown starts to slip and fade, little feet on the street
Tired girl in someone else's clothes
Stand in the quiet house, making tea, making toast
Making room for your daytime goal
Her dress,
Your shoes,
Little flower bruise
Old smoke in your hair
No subway fare, but you just don't care
Heart shines like a neon sign
For tonight won't you just be mine
Invisible girl, in the sodium light
She's the Queen of the Night
Heart shines like a neon sign
For tonight won't you just be mine
Invisible girl, in the sodium light
She's the Queen of the Night
Your sun is the evening stars
Your temple’s the downtown bars
Invisible girl, in the sodium light
She's the Queen of the Night
She's the Queen of the Night

Hungry Heart
Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart oh
I met her in a Kingstown bar
We fell in love I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now here I am down in Kingstown again
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Oh la la
Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Don't make no difference what nobody says
Ain't nobody like to be alone
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart oh oh
Oh la la la la la

Fast As You Can
Oh be a man, as fast as you can,
Oh be a man, as fast as you can
Growing up wild, out in the fields
In awe of the stars, and the power they wield
Oh you loved them anyway
Don't think they noticed you
See how the stars change, from summer to fall
The sole indication, that we're moving at all
Carry the world, with the hands of a child
You can't be a boy
She wants you to be wild
And she was the sun, sun, sun
You were the moon
And the light of the sun
Fills up the room
Oh you loved her anyway
And she tried to love you
When she was asleep, you'd watch her face
Taken in sleep to a more peaceful place
You'd stand by the door, cause you were her guard
And you'd love her in silence, and it wasn't that hard
Cause she was the sun, sun, sun
You were the moon
And the light of the sun
Eclipses the moon
Oh you loved her anyway
And she tried to love you
She never asked you, what you're dreaming of
She told you 'bout Texas, and liquor and love
She was hard-edged and broken, she blamed a man
But she told you to be one as fast as you can

Down
Too bad, she don't love you no more
And I've a half a mind to give her a call
Curled up in a ball
Is that where you are?
Is that where you are?
It was the same for me
I'll tell you what you will see
As you go
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
I never wished you any harm
But Karma has a certain charm
My dad always used to say
You never run up a tab, you don't eventually have to pay
Well it was the same for me
I'll tell you what you will see
As you go
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Buy a book that'll teach you how to relate
Then tell her all of the things you learned too late
In time, the pain will go away
And you'll be free to love and lose another day
Mind what you do
Cause as you see, things come back to you
What do you want from me?
I'm not sorry
That you are down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down down down down

Wire
Living on a wire,
The sight of you could save my skin
And the sun is in my eyes,
And the breeze lifts the hair from my neck
So precariously I am inching my way across my life
And I fall if you don't call
A sick safety net appears when I see you
Oh, I climb, so high
Waiting to fall
How does it go down
When you're the biggest kid in your own playground
And how do you see me
How do I fit in your hierarchy?
Oh you tell the girls line up in single file
Just gotta rearrange my denial
And I will play with you
And now I see all the shit that isn't me
I'm too relieved to be mad, relieved and sad
I misplaced my mind, thought it was lost
But now I find, you were just very, very unkind
You know I always found,
That my feet were dangling looking for solid ground
Is it maybe worth closing down the Ivory Tower
And coming back down to earth
Oh, I climb, so high waiting to fall
And then I cry, like a child
On a never-ending ride
Waiting to fall
Oh I climb, so high waiting to fall
And then I cry, child,
On a never-ending ride
Waiting to fall
Oh I, oh I
Waiting to fall
Waiting to fall

Yellow Eyes
She had the yellow eyes of opal moons
So full of love, how could she see?
He thought he'd drown in them
And so he set sail
Gracefully she dreamed him free
The Indian Ocean washed him on her shore
Flat backed on a dirt packed floor
One eye on the door
You're ten thousand miles away
As the birds fly high, and you want to die
Because you let her go
And you say
Oh when she hold me, nobody told me
All of the fear her love would bring
If you could see me
Would you believe me darling
That all my fear was only love
Well he had a one-time look at paradise
A white light, it was bright to blinding paradise
All of the angels that you can't see
When you're equating love
Equating love, with never being free
And you say
Oh when she hold me, nobody told me
All of the fear her love would bring
If you could see me
Would you believe me darling
That all my fear was only love
She had the yellow eyes of opal moons
You looked away from them too soon
The best I can say to you
Though I don't know when
Is that I know you'll feel this way
I know, I know you'll feel this way again
And next time
Tell her you love her
You're always with her
Even when you are far away oh
Cause if she could see you
I know she'd believe you darling
That all your fear was only love
Only only love
Only only love
Oh only love
Oh only love

Home
Angel, asleep on my shoulder
You don't know, how you're gonna grow
Think you'll be strong and kind like your daddy
Sweet and generous, as your mama too
Sky above, endless and ever blue
Filled with stars, shining their light on you
They're there when you're feeling scared
You're all alone they lead you home
Home, home
Angel, look what you've come to
Like the deep blue sea, love is all around you
It's there when you're standing tall
It'll be there when you fall
It's at the edge of all the dreams you’ll dream
Sky above, endless and ever blue
Filled with stars, shining their light on you
They're there when you're feeling scared,
You're all alone they lead you home
Home, home
Angel, asleep on my shoulder
You don't know how you're gonna grow
Think you'll be strong, like your daddy
Sweet and generous, as your mama too
Oh it's waiting for you, it's waiting for you
It's waiting for you, it’s waiting for you

Ruby Adeline
Your life will be so fine
Ruby Adeline
You're gonna have the sweetest time
I could wish you lots of things
A clever mind and diamond rings
The knowledge that you're always free
Compassion for all that you see
But the best thing, I can think of
Is to wish you love
Ruby Adeline
Your life will be so fine
Ruby Adeline
You're gonna have the sweetest time
So right from the very start
I wish you a lion’s heart
A little darkness let it come
So that you would always know the sun
May it shine down from above
Let it fill your life with love
Ruby Adeline
Your life will be so fine
Ruby Adeline
You're gonna have the sweetest time

Deeper Water
Take me out, take me out
Far into the deeper water
Show me how, show me how
For I have longed to love deep water
I was washed up on the shore
You take me out in the water once more
Why are you blue, why are you blue
Did she bring you out here too
Wait and see, wait and see
The tide might bring you here to me
I was washed up on the shore
You take me out in the water once more
Slowly, I cannot swim fast
And I know, neither can you
We'll float, let all the clouds pass by
You and I, you and I
Take me out, take me out
Far into the deeper water
Show me how, show me how
For I have longed to love deep water
I was washed up on the shore
You take me out in the water once more
Slowly, I cannot swim fast
And I know, neither can you
We'll float, let all the clouds pass by
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
