But then one day The jacarandas had all bloomed And it seemed the world Had a little more room The light gone Dim Can't see ahead And the days all gotten colder All I can think All I can remember Most times I find I've got No Answers Building ladders Into the skies of my mind They always fall down And anyway what's there to find All I can think Or put together Most times I find I've got No Answers Can just try to do What's good and right One foot in front of the other

She said she'd meet me later on She supposed about ten I do really hope That I'm not too drunk by then And this shirt looks so good Until I put it on I've now just all around got That falling down feeling again And yeah what they're saying 'bout me might be true If you wanna get down to facts But in my picture of the world I can't quite seem to fit that I did my best from the golden morn Until that day's end But now I've got, yeah now I've got That falling down feeling again This world don't work like you'd think From what I hear them say To get all that you need You got to kiss and give it away I think about myself But it all feels like an end Yeah think all about yourself And get that falling down feeling again and again

He's been down those cruel alleyways All night through All night through She's been hoping Now all lit up and beautiful She's there smiling at him Fighting and winning and losing Endlessly But always so much more Than we can see All night through The moon knew

Ah the days get so cold now And I make it through the nights but I don't know how without her.. Tenderness I get no rest With these dreams Of Magdalene And her magnificent breasts Is it true What I've heard them say That passion only comes When you're not sure she'll stay Oh her gentleness Like a fool I got careless Now I'm just sitting here left With these dreams Of Magdalene And her magnificent breasts

The lights of the town In the distance below This old house on the hill Taking things slow And all those old worries All fading away This fine clear night With you With the things that you say And the things that you do You've got a way Of getting through And so much love In all the things that you do So clear tonight With you

The rooftops and wires Of her home town Often staying in Till the sun went down And that setting sun I saw would shine like flames On a turquoise pony On her mantle A time too short I couldn't stay any longer Just me and her A time so tender I'll be there again soon It's getting near Just me and her Once more together It's been so long That I've been away And it gets so hard With the way my mind likes to play And I wonder... Will that setting sun Still shine like flames On that turquoise pony On the mantle

Yeah You 02:24
Along the old train tracks That run by the seaside All the dreams come sunlit And the world seems wide When I walk with you These afternoons All of a sudden now there's you Ah you Yeah You

The days crowded They get so tight Can seem that life's Just a fight All of today's Rules and demands Filling my mind Till I can't see You can argue anything And make it stick No matter how good Or sick All of today's Worries and fears Filling my mind it's easy... To forget love To forget love Can see they'll fall apart Before they even start Things born out of Those shadows of my heart
