WHISPER A HYMN I was trying not to cry there was laughter in your eyes but it's not funny and when it fell apart you were clutching at your heart as if we'd hurt you When the darkness comes it comes so slow your eyes don't see the lights go out open up a part of your exsanguinated heart and hear the wind inside your bones whisper a hymn for you and you alone when the darkness comes it comes so slow your eyes don't see the lights go out You couldn't say you were wrong but you knew it all along and now you're sailing adrift from those you love trying to get hold of something, anything I tried to seal up the breach but it was far beyond my reach and we're still broken

FIND YOU WAITING I can't remember how I wound up here on the floor I tried so hard to please you but no matter what, you always wanted more What is it that catches your attention, now? Every night you wander 'round searching for a distant sound Christ, they could have seen you I -- I worry and wring my hands I'm astray and wasted I -- I think its more than I can really stand What is it that catches your attention, now? Every night you wander 'round searching for a distant sound Lost in a post-romantic dream last night dropsical and cold dressed in midnight bows And I said what we say when there's nothing left to say What else could I do? You know I'm trying to be reasonable It was a long shot but I thought I'd find you waiting (It's never gonna get to you) It was such a long shot but I thought I'd find you waiting (How can I get through to you?) I knew it was a long shot but I thought I'd find you waiting I'm astray and wasted I'm astray and wasted God, it was a long shot but I thought I'd find you waiting It was such as long shot but I thought I'd find you waiting God, it was a long shot It was such a long shot You know I'm trying to be reasonable

Cold Hand 03:42
COLD HAND What you wanted what you always really wanted was a stage A pretty little runaway you're not real to me you've escaped into your silent play Haunted by our gaze. Can you hear it? Can you hear it in the night wind where the spirits wend? In a reverie in a reverie you make believe it's true and it's all for you, all for you From a dreams embraces into deeper darker places Twisted writhing in the sand you scream at the touch of a cold hand

HOLE IN THE MOON Come stay a while in this home until the deepening gloom Or shiver in the shadows alone and find a hole in the moon The Mistral blows this way across the black and the sabulous bay Through the knotholes and cracks and it never, no it never looks back A bridge that you can't cross leads you straight to the cold and the nothing And so you dance at the brink... Take a step Tonight you never cross back Alone in the wind I'm sorry Then the lights blind my eyes and I've changed my mind So I try to rise but I sink into the deep 'cause I've already let go
5.
GREEN & GRAVE The hedges loomed green and grave we fanned our faces, walked barefoot in the grass And gazed out across the water sparkling like cut glass Like an abandoned plan the sun set and we were sweat soaked in the sultry air And I was irritable in my repose I was wilting like an August rose But it was enough if my sleep was deep I saw you hiding there Wandering the paths of the strangest dreams I saw you hiding there And in the morning I could feel it you were haunting me still You were hiding there And I stood for a moment then began to double back I hoped that this would end soon I just didn't know how to react Nothing left to say Nothing that you hear Nothing left to say Nothing that you hear I've nothing left to say and it's nothing that you hear I'm burned by the sun and still bleeding from my chin
