letra de It All Came Back Today
Well, he said it like he meant it

But he did not really care

So I sat upon the Eve's embraces

I was never there

No, I was never really fabled

I was never really lost

I was cunning through that habit of mine

Y'see all the words were lost

Yes, all the words were lost

And you can stand upon your own life

Say it always seemed to seal

There were smiles upon the picture

But I don't know what to feel

And I told a million stories

And I sat down to risk half

But I never really meant it

'Til you came and stole my heart away

You came and stole my heart away

And even if your real thought

Hid a thousand words away

And even if you never knew

It all came back today

It all, it all, all, all

All came back today

It all, it all, all, all

All came back today

Well, the rain scales up

And your soul is drowned

And mother's saying still raise a frown

And mother's saying still makes you see

What you have lost instead of me

And even if your real thought

Hid a thousand words away

And even if you never knew

It all came back today

It all, it all, all, all

All came back today

It all, it all, all, all

All came back today

And even though the starlight falls

And takes your breath away

You still stare up towards the toss

I don't know what to say

I don't know how to be alone

With some kind fretless friend

And even though the harvest brings

Well, we all begin again

I say we all begin again

And even if your real thought

Hid a thousand words away

And even if you never knew

It all came back today

It all, it all, all, all

All came back today

It all, it all, all, all

All came back today

I would like this sun

Be spoke until I find

I was all remembrance

Until the words got tired

letra de We Almost Got It Together
We almost got it together

And I'll be your favourite thing

Stand by the river with hard-luck eyes

And I'll just be open and sing

And if I was telling you stories

I was only trying to surprise

I wish I was like the frog-princess

And I'd never tell you lies

And down by the soil of the hard-life

They like to greet us with smiles

They like to tell us their good hostess

Had travelled a million miles

But you'd like it written closer

Yes, you'd like it written pure

If I told you this would you miss my kiss?

No, you'd come right back for more

Oh, I'd like to be

What I want to be

But you want to carry on

But you need to take

What you have to take

But I'll still be here when you're gone

And there's a light by your window

And I'd like to capture you by there

And I'd like to hold you for all to see

But they don't really care

And if I said you're no peccadillo

Yes, I said you're a major thing

Would you stand by me?

At the corner dock

And say, "yes, this girl is the swing!"

Oh, I'd like to be

What I want to be

But you want to carry on

But you need to take

What you have to take

But I'll still be here when you're gone

And I'd like another cue

That's why I strain to see

And I'd like the best in you

'Cause you write the best in me

[?]

They were sure that I'd be burning

Yes, so their tart swerve to here might be

But if I said, you're gold inside, yes

And if you were true to me

Would you hang around with that creepy smile

And crawl home back to me

Oh, I'd like to be

What I want to be

But you want to carry on

But you need to take

What you have to take

But I'll still be here when you're gone

Consider the RainVer letra 5:15

letra de Consider the Rain
I have a picture

It's taken with looks

It wont tell a story

But I'm glad I forgot everything that you say

I choose the colours

And reword the lines

Now somebody's second heart

Ain't the first of mine

Consider the rain now

Out in the cold

Maybe I love you

But our dreams grow old

Outbid my fortune

Out to just win

Tell me that summer

Is coming on in

I got my wallet

Been shot from the start

Feel shot when I'm feeling drained

But we all know how to smile when we're falling apart

You choose the colours now

Let's play with the rest

I never believe at all

But some of us sometimes

Are just thrilled, by meeting the blessed

Consider the rain now

Out in the cold

Maybe I love you

But our dreams grow old

Outbid my fortune

Out to just win

Tell me that summer

Is coming on in

I have the oath ring, somebody said

Makes like a twinge running straight through my head

Maybe this fortune is not what it seems

Some of us pin, some of us pin time on our dreams

And saved from the talk shifts

Went straight to your goal

Straight backed and straight laced

Well, you never really

Do you ever really know?

I check on the same day

I checked out the view

I checked all the soft land

Well, it comes so easy from you

Consider the rain now

Out in the cold

Maybe I love you

But our dreams grow old

Outbid my fortune

Out to just win

Tell me that summer

Is coming on in

Little Sister Leaving TownVer letra 3:57

letra de Little Sister Leaving Town
As always I stop to speak

Some girls like to say their piece

As always I turn to you

Don't understand what you're doing

And

Light up this town

Grow weary and back down

It's such an amazing sight

To be found

Little sister leaving town

Says the poet "I won't grass"

Some things are better left and not taken to task

I guess I knew she was a Rose

She knows what hurts and how to hold

If your daddy he turned round

Let the grass around him scream the sound

I'm so sorry for these tales you're telling

Sometimes you can't account

Light up this town

Grow weary and back down

It's such an amazing sight

To be found

Little sister leaving town

And sometimes it's absurd

A minor triumph when you hear the words

"I'm just trying to stake my place

No real fears upon this face"

And my wishes

Nobody says

All the signs when I cross the days

I'm just holding back for you

Sometimes that helps too

Light up this town

Grow weary and back down

It's such an amazing sight

To be found

Little sister leaving town

Love StoryVer letra 3:17

letra de Love Story
You know it's alright

Just to take me home

To your serious house, with your serious tones

You're a serious man, with a serious smile

But the summer is hot and I might surprise you

In a very short while we'll have left them behind

With their faces quite pained

As they try to remind themselves

Oh, it's really so wrong

It's really so out

And it's really not cool to take a young girl about

And I know the young man with a century's face

A philosopher king - he will try to amaze

With examples of love and examples of hate

And to see them explode

We will just have to

It's a simple love story

It grows better all the time

You can tell me all about it

But first I'll tell you about mine

You know it's alright to be trustful, have tact

But the problem's complex

When you keep holding back

We could talk for an hour

We could talk for a day

But the people we know would still have their say

Talk of such virtuous women

Talk of such noble men

But if I'm on the level I have met none of them

Oh, I've met troubled people with deep and dark thoughts

Who have hallowed my name

And sworn I will get caught

But why waste real feeling and

Why waste our time

To let the earth bow to no virtue of

It's a simple love story

It grows better all the time

You can tell me all about it

But first I'll tell you about mine

You know it's alright to just make mistakes

But to tail in with hurt - is the gravest make

We all create lives which we don't understand

But to point the accused is a job for no man

And we curse our own longing - and curse our own ways

I won't be satisfied with my soul that's

It's a simple love story

It grows better all the time

You can tell me all about it

Now I've told you about mine
