Short days and long months, Bitter frosts and loves lost. They all melt away, in the warmth, They all melt away in the warmth of the two of us. La-dah-de-dah-de-dah There's a fire, burning underneath the snow, And a river, that twists and flows. And where it meets the sea, we sit and breathe, We sit and breathe a breath for you and a breath for me. La-dah-de-dah-de-dahh And where it meets, there's a breath for you and breath for me Short days and long months Bitter frosts and love's lost They all melt away, in the warmth They all melt away in the warmth of the two of us

Down 04:00
I've got, all of the intention, but none of the execution, I've got plenty of things to think about, but they're' not there to get me down. Down down You've got all the inclination, but none of the incantation We've got plenty of things to talk about, but they're not there to get us down Down down Let's go for a walk, just a short walk To the park, near the freeway. Let's go for a walk, a short walk in the dark, Will this new day shine light on this well walked byway. The things you remember, you forgot to remember The things that, you promised that... The things you remember, you forgot to remember The things that, you promised that, you would forget

And I heard, you listened to records And painted your nails. And had boyfriends you climbed windows for, And never saw again. And now that your gone, I hear all these stories from, All the people, I knew as well. And I'll dream, dream, dream purple tonight, And I'll sing, sing, sing, coz I thought that you might like, To take lessons, dance with strangers, Go and tuck the kids in tight, And go searching, for that little girl inside. And I wear your olive cardigan, The ones with gold buttons so bright. That shone like your eyes might have, As you swirled in the day light, Of your bedroom, with your dolls and your letters from your beau's Tear stained pillow or crushed petals, that you kept And I'll dream, dream, dream purple tonight, And I'll sing, sing, sing, coz I thought that you might like, To take lessons, dance with strangers, Go and tuck the kids in tight And go searching, for that little girl inside. La da de da, la de dah x 4 And I'll dream, dream, dream purple tonight, And I'll sing, sing, sing, coz I thought that you might like, To take lessons, dance with strangers, Go and tuck the kids in tight, And go searching, for that little girl inside.

And I read my notes, when the notes I send are to you, How can you read them, compared to how I write them? And I pen them, and I wonder And when you write back, I stare at the page, Longer than it takes to read these words. And I'm trying, I am trying, I am trying to spell these words And I'm trying to spell these words, in seven, seven, seven letters And if I write you, to meet me, It means the message isn't meant to be. For fingers, or eyes, it's meant for lips and a little surprise And when you write back, I stare at the page, Longer than it takes to read these words. I hear there are some things I think you'd like And they all feel like things, that could touch me And I'm trying, I am trying, I am trying to spell these words And I'm trying to spell these words, in seven, seven, seven letters

Reality Is 04:05
You can almost hear the fingertips, Walking the beach of history. It's all over, but that's just life. And it all starts again, tomorrow, And I'll be up early, this time. Reality is...what it is & reality is...what it is Reality is...what it is & reality is...what it is Emotions on a calendar, The closer I look the further away you are. And I'm ticking the days off, Day by day, and I'm ticking the days off, day by day. Reality is...what it is & reality is...what it is Reality is...what it is & reality is...what it is And when I finally got to thinking, what mattered, And when I finally got to thinking, It didn't matter, And when I finally got to thinking, what mattered, Reality is...what it is & reality is...what it is Reality is...what it is & reality is...what it is
