Jack of Fools
04:48
|
|||
Four, four in the morning
Coughing, yawning
Day, daylight is boring
Close my eyes ignoring
One day at a time
On paper Iām fine
Put my heart to the test
Oh lord Iām a mess
A jack of fools such as I
Fly, fly away sorrow
Hide yourself til tomorrow
Poets preachers and scholars
Read me my tarot
One day at a time
On paper Iām fine
Put my heart to the test
Oh lord Iām a mess
A jack of fools such as I
Pull my heart from my chest
One of lifeās little tests
A jack of fools such as I

To Be Blinkered
03:04

The clock it knocks to a sudden stop and I hear distant laughter
Another day in paradise the sun is hot letās wait for some disaster
Would you believe
That the birds and the bees could the vanish In the air
But I donāt care
Delicately mumbling and stuttering or answer
Iām sorry I intruded was I ever made to feel that welcome
Would you believe
That the birds and the bees could the vanish In the air
But I donāt care

Tombre En Morceaux
03:51
|

Thought that growing old was so easy
Now itās hard to stand when youāve fallen down
Always getting in the way
Never knowing what to say
At parties
Being unaware that your clothes wonāt fit
Headaches in the morning from a glass of wine
Do you know who you are, your not quite the star...you dreamed of
Telling old stories and reminiscing
Digging up ghost and tales from your wardrobe
Your a angrier man, you donāt understand
The niceties
āTombre En Morceauxā

Imminent Shadow
04:02
|
|||
Night time come
And I see you standing there
In the corner of my room
Head bowed down and aloof
Poisoning my every breath
Pushing down on my chest
My imminent shadow
Grandfather couldnāt run from you
Age let his guard down slow
Mind as sharp as a knife
turns to Cotten when you show
You wait in silence when I was young
When I was innocent and free
My imminent shadow

The Dusty Floor
03:34
|
|||
Please tell me that you need me right now
Donāt make me wait..the suffering
Like those clothes that just stay in my case
The dusty floor an empty room
Days pass so slowly
The night gets so much more lonely
Some may say that love isnāt real
Thatās hard to hear, that canāt be true
Cause Iām those movies, thereās plenty of tears
Those sad old songs , and poems too
Days pass so slowly
The night gets so much more lonely

My Protector
05:40
|
|||
I cannot leave you all alone
Weāre so alike but your still full of wonder
All weāre after is a happy home
To return to home
Iāll give you everything and anything Iāll be your protector
No more arguments letās just keep on walking
All weāre after is a happy home
To return to home
To hear your feet tip tapping across the room
Make no mistake weāll stick together like glue
All weāre after is a happy home
To return to home

The Tree
02:58

I had a tree
In the dream hills where my childhood lay
And I'd go there in the wide long days
And my tree would listen to all that I'd say
And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling
Then one day when the world had put me in its tomb
And my life was just an empty room
I went to my tree and I sat there in my gloom
And the light was fading dimly and the sky was crying
Then my tree bent its branches low down to the ground
And its green leaves shrouded up my mind
And I left the world somewhere behind
And I didn't not know what I would find
And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling
