Drowning

Damn rain, all night,
Dear god the river’s high
Someone is drowning
Out too far to swim
There’s no rope to pull them in
I think they’re in trouble
I think they’re drowning
Hold on
It may not be long
No one’s seen Lucky Jim
Since the night the roof caved in
And the circus girls left town
But eighteen miles away
An empty house goes up in flames
Someone waving at the window
We’re all drowning
I’d reach you if i could
I’d reach you if I could
Hold on, hold on
Might not be long
We’re all drowning

Slow Diver

I know it’s early
But I needed to call
Tired of talking to myself
And staring at the wall
I’ve been night trawling
Demons and desires
I just need to hear your voice
Coming down these wires
Baby I’m a slow diver
Baby I’m a slow diver
I still wonder if half the trouble
Is my fragile skin
No matter what I do
It lets the whole world in
It’s the same old dagger
That cuts through my pretences
It’s the same old dirty rain
That soaks through my defences
Is the sky too low
Or am i too tall
Either my stride’s too big
Or the world’s too small
I’ve been night trawling
Demons and desires
I just need to hear your voice
Coming down these wires
I know it’s early
But I needed to call
Tired of talking to myself
And staring at the wall

Loaded Gun
04:58
|

|
With her feathers and her leather gloves
And my long grey coat
Tearing pages from a bible
Making little paper boats
We filled them all with tears
And little plastic stars
Waited till they disappeared
But they never got that far
Ain’t life just a loaded gun
One shot then oblivion
I put my sailors hands
Round her ship wrecked heart
And when the tide came in
I held her in my arms
Ain’t life just a loaded gun
One shot then oblivion
Now no one seems to notice
Last years roses
No one ever looks around
And sees them on the ground
When the tide goes out
Maybe we can float
Away with all those plastic stars
Those little paper boats
Ain’t life just a loaded gun
One shot then oblivion

Let Me Sleep

Just let me sleep
Oh now it’s been so long
Just let me sleep
What could be so wrong
With letting the world go by
Until we lose this pain
Letting the long grey sky
Slowly turn blue again
Just let me sleep
Oh now it’s been so long
Just let me sleep
I’m not that strong
To carry this dying light
Into this wounded night
Over the great divide
Where I know angels hide
There is another song
That I hear all the time
There is a brilliant dream
That I will see tonight
So just let me;
Just let me sleep
