The Timing Was Good I’m not much at giving in I’m married to my sin No matter where I go It’s the only thing That I really know So don’t remind me Where I’m supposed to be I have no intention That I can let you see Wash it away Whatever it was That we did today And don’t be so precious We’ll do it all again We’ll do it all again If the mood is right And if we ever meet again At such a dizzy height There… It’s over now It was just a passing cloud But the timing was good The timing was good

Nothing Better Here Sipping soup as birds fly by Colonial girl catches my eye Counting ways And passing days In air yet to know a freeze In margins and parentheses High above a purple dawn Sleeping easy Gather beauty in your grasp Feel it fade just as you pass Make the trade without a thought There’s nothing better here Nothing better here With nothing to get hung about And only breathing in and out May all these flying things Never touch the ground Inside your smiling gaze I never touch the ground Gather beauty in your grasp Feel it fade just as you pass Make the trade without a thought There’s nothing better here Nothing better here

Along the Way Things get complicated I don’t know why They just do When I’m with you Do you think we could chase These clouds away And hope for a brighter day What do you say? What do you say? Our two hearts are helpless Lost and forgetful along the way Along the way Our two hearts are helpless Helpless... Come on, work with me now Come on be a pal Be my gal When you shake off the rust Through the dust I see You and me, we stumble ahead We stumble ahead We stumble ahead Our two hearts are helpless Lost and forgetful Our two hearts are helpless Lost and forgetful along the way Along the way Along the way Along the way...

In the Heat of the Day In the heat of the day You make your way Underneath the burning sun You see the earth without her skin You feel it coming on again Is it a sin you wonder To want so much You answer no one You know nothing is as it seems You turn away In the heat of the day It’s a smoking gun It’s a magic trick It’s a turn of phrase It’s a nervous tic It makes me sick This dreaming of you now The stars align And shower sparks That fall away And split the dark While we sway To a tune we’ve heard before You answer no one You know nothing is as it seems You turn away In the heat of the day Waywardness and inspiration mingle in your veins At such a speed who on earth would notice What is only plain You answer no one You know nothing is as it seems You turn away In the heat of the day

So Far Away 05:05
So Far Away I’m trying to get there But you’re so far away You’re so far away I’m trying to get there But you’re so far away You’re so far away You’re so far away I think about you And I dream that you’re here I dream that you’re here I think about you And I dream that you’re here I dream you’re here There’s a place we can go Where breezes blow And oceans surround us And I want to tell you But my words fly away They fly away There’s a place we can go But my words fly away And you’re so far away You’re so far away

Fascination 03:25
Fascination It was an accident of geography Finding you here on this river of stone With your scraps of wood And your bits of bone And all your wishes unknown I’m watching every move With fascination Looking out on you From my imagination Needing nothing Knowing everything must change And what’s familiar Must become strange I would not know How long to stay Steal a passing glance Or the whole day I’m watching every move With fascination Looking out on you From my imagination You live to tell You tell it so well Once again Your never ending story The people you know The places you go Only the innocence Is real I’m watching every move With fascination Looking out on you Looking out on you Watching every move With fascination Looking out on you From my imagination

Everywhere I Turn You are everywhere Everywhere I turn And you are everywhere Everywhere I turn You're on the road You're on the beach Just up ahead Just out of reach You are everywhere Everywhere I turn And you are everywhere Everywhere I turn You're in the light You're in my coat You're in a song that I wrote You're in the air That I breathe And you are in this place That I leave You are everywhere Everywhere I turn And you are everywhere Everywhere I turn Everywhere I turn

Without You 04:59
Without You I don’t know how long I can go on Without you And I don’t know where I belong Or what I will do Without you I don’t know I don’t know Without you I just don’t know It was a time to remember It was a time I’d soon as forget It was a time In September It’s living with me yet I don’t know I don’t know Without you I just don’t know Here comes the sun There’s a brand new day On the way without you But I don’t know If I can stay Here alone without you I don’t know I don’t know Without you I just don’t know

Falling For You Now I am blinded by the sight of you And all these things you say and do Put me once again Upon my knees I feel something irresistible calling I may be flying I may be falling That’s right baby I’m falling for you now I’m waiting for the heavens To open up their arms And cleanse me from this sweetness And pain Still I might feel this way forever In every single kind of weather That’s right baby I believe I’m falling for you now There’s nowhere to run to There’s no place to hide Nothing to be done at all No power to resist With your mind or with your fist When your oh so lonesome heart Takes a fall I am blinded by the sight of you And all these things you say and do Put me once again Upon my knees I feel something irresistible calling I may be flying I may be falling That’s right baby I think I’m falling for you now Falling for you now....

How Deep They Run What is standing between us now It has stood there all along Over time it has grown And now it’s strong, so strong And so it comes That you cannot recognize This look that you’ve seen a thousand times In your lover’s eyes These secrets that we keep How deep they run How deep they run We were walking side by side And all alone Hand in hand As if we did not know The sky is full of rain I guess we just let it fall Because this wound was never meant to heal That was not its purpose at all These secrets that we keep How deep they run How deep they run What the reason is I don’t want to know I don’t want to understand I want to be baffled I want to be dazzled I want to fly high above the land I want to be a lunatic and dance with no one special I want to march with strangers on parade And I will always love you babe Here I go now, here I go now These secrets that we keep How deep they run How deep they run
