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

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

It's Easy To Forget

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
