Falling Into You
Look at me and show me all the stories in your eyes
Whisper to me like the waves and fill the night with sighs
Let me wander over all the coastline of your skin
Then light a candle in your mind and ask me to come in
Now every step I take I walk on water
I’m falling into you
You are an ocean waiting to discover
I’m falling into you
I’m falling into you
Tell me all of how you feel in a language just your own
Speak to me with what you do, with words I’ve never known
Turn up every waiting stone and show me a new place
Catch a raindrop on your tongue and tell me how it tastes
Now every step I take I walk on water
I’m falling into you
You are an ocean waiting to discover
I’m falling into you
I’m falling into you
Now I read the book whose title is your name
I just can’t put it down; I hang on every page
Every sentence tells a brand new story
With each new word I want more of you
Endlessly, I’m falling into you
Gaze up at the colored clouds and show me what you see
Sleep beneath the naked moon, then tell me what you dreamed
I’m falling into you
I’m falling into you
I’m falling in…I’m falling in
I’m falling into you
Shadows Fill Your Eyes
Running round in circles in my head
Tangled up in all the things you said
I watch your sky grow dark and storms come down behind
To feed the torrents of the rivers in your mind
Staring through dark windows at your past
Trying all the locks, but they’re closed fast
I see you through the glass pace patterns in the floor
But I just can’t get close, can’t even find the door
Shadows fill your eyes and rain falls down
Shadows fill your eyes
Shadows fill your eyes and rain falls down
Shadows fill your eyes.
Running round in circles in my head
Chasing after stories still unsaid
How much I want to peel the wrapping from your heart
To walk into the rain and make the cloudbanks part.
But shadows fill your eyes and rain falls down
Shadows fill your eyes
Shadows fill your eyes and rain falls down
Shadows fill your eyes
Rain falls down
Rain falls down and all around and
Shadows fill your eyes
In The End
So it seems, in the beginning was the end
Words of love turn into words of pain, again
Dark descends where once the world was afire
We tumble out of ecstasy into the mire
So it seems that everything we’d found got lost
Sweet summer dew turns into winter’s deepest frost
The day walks by in mourning garb, the stars wear veils of black
And voices all around me whisper, “Don’t look back”
And I’m lost in a city that has no light
And I wander through a forest of endless night
And the waves break overhead
As I wrestle with the words that you said
In the end
Despair grows like black flowers in a field once lush and green
As silence wraps a shroud around the world, again
And still I’m lost in a city that has no light
And I wander through a forest of endless night
And the waves break overhead
As I wrestle with the words that you said
In the end
Empty Wells
When we met, it felt like daylight
When we spoke, clocks stopped telling time
When we touched, the sky tore open
Why would I have dreamed we’d say goodbye?
And still this fire won’t go out
No matter how the days stretch out
And though I’ve drained every well dry
Can’t douse these flames that still burn high.
Where you walked, I planted seedlings
Where you smiled, I built a home
Where cracks took root, I patched them over
How could I have seen how deep they’d grow?
And still this fire won’t go out
No matter how the days stretch out
And though I’ve drained every well dry
Can’t douse these flames that still burn high, burn high
How many times
I’ve heard the lines
About how love can conquer all
But now I spend each day
My heart ablaze
With buckets growing dusty down the hall.
And still this fire won’t go out
No matter how the days stretch out
And though I’ve drained every well dry
Can’t douse the flames that still burn high, burn high.
And still this fire won’t go out
No matter how the days stretch out
And though I’ve drained every well dry
Can’t douse the flames that still burn high, burn high.
When we met, it felt like daylight
When we spoke, clocks stopped telling time
When we touched, the sky tore open
How could I have known it was a lie?
