Constellation
this town has four walls round me / they're tall - stretching - I can't see / find your way down the end of the street to know / it's not the only way out of here / so, if it's a constellation that you're looking for / you can lie on your back outside my door / lay back in the red chair in the lounge room / and light yourself whatever you please / smile away at the outside of the world / 'cause up in the sky, it's gonna rain one of these years / so, if it's a constellation that you're looking for / you can lie on your back outside my door / but if it's a conversation, you're hoping for / when you search out in the darkness, don't you wish for more / search yourself, search yourself / I don't know all that's knowing /fFollow me, follow me / to the night that is falling / and we'll find / if it's a constellation that you're looking for / you can lie on your back outside my door / and for every situation where you leave unsure / you can search out in the darkness / don't you wish for more / under your constellation / don't you wish for more

Union Square
I went walking down to Union Square / where I found you freezing in the cold night air / I wished you luck and then I had to go / I had to leave the island, and this you know / and I whispered in my ear / that I'd be back to you within the year / I whispered in my ear / that I'd be back to you / now it seems as though I've gone nowhere / I took a job for which I just don't care / I see hundreds of people day after day / but I don't know faces and I don't know names / still I whisper in my ear / that I'll be back to you within the year / I whisper in my ear / I've gotta get our of here / within the year / still it seems as though I've gone nowhere / I've still got that job for which I just don't care / I've been cheating on myself I know it's true / but I don't know how to stop, it sticks like glue / and still I whisper in my ear / I'll be back to you within the year / I whisper in my ear / I've gotta get out of here within the year / and I have all the best intentions / my aim is pure and of the best invention / I just want to be out of here / within the year, within the year

Smile
turn my back on a beautiful day / good intentions, facing the wrong way / i'm cold, i'm homeless and i'm lost for words / but i only want to make you smile, i only want to make you smile / fifty cents wouldn't do / to say all the words i need to say to you / i'll have to follow on, down at the payphone / cause i only want to make you smile / and if anyone would be happier to love you / then i, i'll sit by, and grow old / there's light in every day / you know there is but you just won't say / feeling sly and secret, you love to whisper / that i only want to make you smile //

Rolling Home
southern ridges forming / it's a breaking frosty morning / brings the creeping sun behind / the highway hums - i'm driving / facing thoughts of you arriving / and washing through my mind / my hope my wonder i'll be back with you someday / i will always travel with you / the moon is yours and yours alone to find your way / rolling home to you / and back beneath these tail-lights / there is room enough for daylight / time enough to carry on / the ground that we've both walked upon / is wrecked and ruined and rained upon / and broken down inside / the best days warmed and loved enough / the wayward swept and covered up / the braided bond in time / so gleefully accepted, torn and painfully protected / and blindly carried on //

Elbow Room
was up to me i'd have been up and down that tree already / scavanged all i could and dreamt that i'd seen the sun already / but you seem to hold it all above the clouds / and feed upon the ships that float high above the towns / and if it works for you, to buy before you browse / well good for you, hope the end don't come soon / reason blows though the trees on a hot summers day, alone through my mind / i could climb over the fence up the road round the bend / past the lies past the cries / through the breeze through the dance and the light in your eyes / hope it all don't come too soon / when you'll have lost, all your elbow room / your elbow room / like a seive i could sift through all of the ways / that i've been undone / i could cry, turn away, keep it all for a day / cause the misfit in me sees the easy way / and do you think it really should be like that / hope it all don't come to soon / when you'll have lost, all your elbow room / your elbow room //

Wish It Away
if you're flying by a commune / you're not on your own / fall behind the life you know / from another point of view / it might make you / or it could possibly break you / lives on another cloud / wish it away somehow / wish it away somehow / don't run, it's not about you / you're so unsure of yourself / it might make you / the hand to hold onto / lives on another cloud / wish it away somehow //

Lavender
lavender like rain wakes up the lillies in me / rushes through my veins drowns out the venom in me / searching for a soul hope they can find one in me / how can i dance if i'm not dancing in me / and how can i smile if i'm not smiling you see / and how can i live if i'm not living for me, for now / the road is a lonely place when you're not sure where it is you drive / but faced with the lonely choice you'll drive until you don't survive / cause the thing is he said to me / is there's no place i'd rather be / while on the other side of the earth / just because of his birth / the road is a lonely place when you're not sure why it is you drive / not a soul in sight and the radio keeps me alive //

Wheelbarrow
i bought my friend a wheelbarrow to carry his troubles in / to take it wherever he's going to remind him of where he's been / but he doesn't quite want one / he doesn't understand / he holds himself up on his two legs / while he falters with his hands / he rides an impartial fence, doesn't know right from wrong / his life is like a line from an old sixties song / but he doesn't quite want one / thinks he's ahead of his time / falters with his two legs / while he walks in his own mind / i bought my friend a wheelbarrow //

Emily
emily, emily / so small and lean, pink and clean / emily, hello / you hit the road for the show / heading south and out you go / emily, hello / do you even know how you got here? / could you even know what you've done? / emily, it seems like you've been here / have you been here before? / emily you come up with the sun / emily, emily / so small and clean, sweet and green / emily, hello / do you even know how you got here? / could you even know what you've done? / emily it seems like you've been here / have you been here before? / emily you come up with the sun //

July
it's july in the autumn / july in the spring / july holding near me / closer the memories / how was i to find you / the dust stings in my eyes / i remember the rain when it fell / swimming down to the sea / though we are cold / and though we are old / someone came to find us / so together we might go / it's july in the winter / july in the spring / you caught me out you caught me out / you caught me out without a thing / how many sing, how many sing? / how many sing, how many sing? / you sent me over water / you sent me over land / how many sing, how many? / now we are dreaming / now we are singing / someone came to find us / so together we might go / it's july in the summer / july in the spring / it's july when you want it / just dive in and swim / just dive in and swim //

Mark On My Heart
you left a mark on my heart / you left a mark on my heart / love leaves a stain, as pure as the rain / you left a mark on my heart / you turned the light out on me / you turned the light out on me / dusty and grey, you stole them away / you turned the light out on me / oh Lord looking down on me / i don't know where i went wrong / i'm wishing the ground moving under me / would swallow me before too long / all my life i've been shy and polite / now i'm cold and hard and it's wrong / and will you ever forget me since the day that you left me alone //

Alberta
My daddy was a raincloud in my mothers eyes / He'd be drinking hard and fighting every time / Not with men, but memories of all he could have been / While giving birth to us three didn't mean a thing / He worked upon the railways like all the ramblers did / He'd dream of one day riding that rattler to Berlin / Then one day it all changed, it clicked inside his mind / He packed up like an old friend, left us all behind / In every wayward life there's a way to pull on through / In every broken heart lies the means to start anew / He lives out in Alberta, across the prairies fair / Ten thousand miles from my town and a million miles from anywhere //

Envy
you said you would not be as precious as me / why would you lie so much? / i found my own way why can't you find yours? / i hear the sound roar / time travels on at the end we'll be gone / we'll be someplace we've never been before / and just at the side of your circling eyes / is the envy of those you adore.... adore / so let the sound go / let it roll around your sweet head / and know, and know it will never be, never be the same / you said you would not be as precious as me / why would you lie so much? / i found my own way why can't you find yours? / i hear the sound roar //

Where She Lives
the sun is round and moon is brown / i never will forget you even when i'm six feet underground / cause i've had my eye on you a thousand days / if you only knew it was just as cheap to turn away / if you will just stop you'll see Sally / she'll lead you down to where she lives / sweet inventions of a silenced mind / eventually will lead where you never would have strayed / cause every corner has a life to lead / you can choose one now before you begin to bleed / with differences not withstanding / she'll lead you down to where she lives / and if you stay away she will move on 'til the end / but if you move today she will always wait, she will always wait / so now, now you will find, nothing is left but peace of mind / the door is always open, always //
