When I see you, I see my own face
I want to save you from yourself
What could I do?
What could I say?
It's a downward spiral
I don't know what causes sorrow
Or why it has to hurt to learn
But I have had a heart that's empty
I've felt the vacuum nature hates
It's clear to me
I wish that you could only see it
My lover's gone
his boots no longer by my door
he left at dawn
and as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more
I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
bring him home again
My lover's gone
I know that kiss will be my last
no more his song
the tune upon his lips has passed
I sing alone
while I watch the ocean
My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
bring him home again
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
She'll flow down your river
And ask him and she'll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
To melt into this lake
She'll flow down your river
And ask him and she'll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The King of Siam
And my Siamese twin
She knows what I'm thinking
???
She'll flow down your river
And ask him and she'll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

You wait
These are such basic things
You shouldn't have to voice them,
But you do
And in your eyes
Stars are only Christmas lights
And silk thread
And in your mind
Everything is quantified
And sharpened
It seems you have forgotten me
I will remind you
It seems you're overlooking me
I will find you
You seem not to care for me
Did you ever try to?
Am I really so hard to love?
All done up in your borrowed shades of Autumn
31, 32
You wait
Someone needs to hold you
Before you slip away
Because you always leave us guessing
Pushing pieces round your plate
Someone needs to show you
Before you slip away
You're really not so far from us
You're really not so far
