Come & Go

Hey!
As I'm driving down Main Street
Keeping up nine
And now I'm tryna' keep alive in the dead of night
Hey oh,
In the dead of night
In the dead of night I've been waiting for you
So long so long, what ya' gonna do?
Keep the lights on honey
And the doors wide open
Cuppa tea waiting for when in you come a-walking
Hey oh,
With a cuppa tea waiting
With a cuppa tea waiting for when in you come a-walking
Hey oh, hey oh, what ya' gonna say?
Oh I know, you say
I can't be saved
Oh, you come & go
You come and go
So did I keep you down or did I take you higher
If I said no I'd be liar
But oh my darling well, don't mind me I'm just
Passing through to you
Beneath your steel there's skin and bone
And it takes two to make a house a home
But if I keep you up at night
Oh if I do,
Darling you can sleep soon
'Cos I know, you say
I can't be saved
Oh, you come & go
Woah-oh-oh-oh!
Came to me like a dog from the mud and I welcomed you like a gift from God
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Came to you like a gift from God and you welcomed me like a dog from the mud
Woah-oh-oh-oh!
Dog from the mud
Or a gift from God
Oh you come and go!
You come and go
Go.

Lunar Lullaby

What can I do now I'm left on the moon
Sent shooting stars but they shot tight past you
The sun went down and I sang you a song
Turns out you were asleep all along
Heard it last night and all the nights before
All the shooting stars, I couldn't ask for more
The sun came up and I thought it was a dream
Turns out the night stole my memories
So why don't you come down
Well build me a ladder made out of clouds
Out from the starry sea
My dear you'll have saved me, now we are free
Gazed at the moon but you stared right past me
Carved from the moon, a ship to sail the sea
Anchors away, I flew across the stars
I'll leave my lights on and wait with open arms
So why don't you come down
Well build me a ladder made out of clouds
Out from the starry sea
My dear you'll have saved me, now we are free
Are you listening
To how the sky sings
Oh my darling
I am searching
Oh my darling
Don't stop dreaming

For Your Eyes Only

For your eyes only
There's stars in the sky
When you go to bed
They too close their eyes
For your ears only
The sweet song of summer
Silent the land
That misses you so
I'd ask the sparrow to remind me how I could sing
But it was too late too soon and you were going away
So I say real nice to the ocean we laid by
Did you feel what I feel, or do these memories lie?
He said “I'm sorry friend but all an ocean knows
Is that people in life they come and they go.”
And all you asked for was a song
For your love only
Light lets out the colours
For those who don't know you
Live in black and white
For me with you only
Time goes somewhere else
Not a moment passes
For hours with you
Never was one to eavesdrop or spy
But this was a special case, so I tried
I laid my head down on the pillow where you used to dream
And I thought real hard “Hey, what'd you see?”
She said “Every time she would lay down to sleep
She would think of you but that's for you to keep.”
And all you asked for was a song
Always remember
That it's all for you
Everything that you see
Everything that we do
All that we ask
Is for you to smile
If you forget
Only be for a while
Sick and tired of all my excuses, I turn to our home and say
“What's the use of this?” And quite to my surprise, the home replied
“Home is the skin that you can't outgrow and there's no road she can't turn back you'll know”
And I say “What the hell does that mean?”
And I see her comin' up the drive way
See her, come in close
It's finally over
She's finally here
Here's your song
For your eyes only
For your ears only
For your love only
For me with you
For your eyes only
For your ears only
For your love only
For me with you
For your eyes only
For your ears only
For your love only
For me with you
For your eyes only
For your ears only
For your love only
For me with you
