Lyrics
Nobody Told Me
Words Tangled In Blue
Soft Summer Girls
Queen Jane
When It Falls Apart
Lost
Stayed Too Long In This Place
Look What Love Has Turned Us Into
Nobody Told Me
I awoke
in a stranger’s house
I did not feel
like myself
I had come
to forget
a pretty girl
with auburn hair
There’s no god in my blood
Yet she still remains
Nobody told me
forgetting could be so hard
Nobody told me
forgetting could be so hard
Nobody told me
forgetting could be so hard
So I drove
drove around
the city lights
they made me drunk
But then
longing came
and took me back
back to her
Sometimes I wonder
how long before she’s gone
Nobody told me
forgetting could be so hard
Nobody told me
forgetting could be so hard
Nobody told me
forgetting could be so hard
Nobody told me
forgetting could be so hard
Words Tangled in Blue
Words tangled in blue
and I thought
about you
Words tangled in blue
what a mess
all because of you
Words tangled in blue
I wrote them down
but I didn’t send them to you
Words tangled in blue
it’s always you
it’s always you
Who should I call?
who should I call?
who should I call?
now
Words tangled in blue
come away boy
nothing calls you
Words tangled in blue
everyone has left
except you
Who should I call?
who should I call?
who should I call?
now
Soft Summer Girls
I stole all her letters
I stole all those poems
they belong to a girl
I used to know
There’s still music
on Queen Street
where all the young girls go
I would rather be down there
than to read these notes
I praise all these soft
summer girls
they take me away
from the one I used to know
By the light of the kitchen
I’ve been reading your notes
I didn’t notice
I had forgotten
the sound of your voice
Are you still the same girl
I used to know?
do you still wake up early
to write your poems?
I praise all these soft
summer girls
they take me away
from the one I used to know
I praise all these soft
summer girls
all that’s left now
are summer girls
Queen Jane
Inside a house
with a broken guitar
I waited for a song
but nothing would come
So I drank all I had
I wrote down some words
but I was wasting my time
’cause nothing would come
Won’t you come
my Queen Jane
won’t you come
my Queen Jane
won’t you come
my Queen Jane
bring me a song
I circled the town
just like a thief
but there was no one to love
I found no one to love
Won’t you come
my Queen Jane
won’t you come
my Queen Jane
won’t you come
my Queen Jane
and bring me a song
Won’t you be
my Queen Jane
won’t you be
my Queen Jane
won’t you come
my Queen Jane
and bring me a song
When It Falls Apart
I drove to your mother’s house
’cause that’s where you were
oh the crazy things
we do for love
one day you look back
you’ll say
‘I did that for someone’
Rain came pouring down
so I stopped at a bar
I was buying time
going over lines
thinking of all the things
I would say to you
when I arrived
I don’t know why
I drove so far
I should have stayed
where I belonged
I guess I wanted
to see for myself
what love looks like
when it falls apart
When I saw you sitting there
at your mother’s house
I swear you looked so hard
I never thought
I would see the day
when my pretty girl
would turn so hard
That’s when I walked awa
y never looking back
I said goodbye to that love
she was the best thing
I ever had
and now it’s done
I don’t know why
I drove so far
I should have stayed
where I belonged
I guess I wanted
to see for myself
what love looks like
when it falls apart
Lost
I was lost
inside a song
and you were lost inside
your heart
But you were soft
softer than love
only you could love
this bastard heart
only you could love
this bastard heart
Did I lose myself in you?
or did you find yourself in me?
I wonder how
the story will be?
All I know
is that your absence
fills everything
you’re the reason why
I sing
you’re the reason why
I sing
Stayed Too Long In This Place
Oh I need this lie
just like the ones
that have kept me safe
Will you come to me now
Spring is so soft
and I wish you would stay
There is so much that I like
I like to forget
and leave behind
You get so tired
staying with the dead
night after night
So won’t you come
to me now
let us forget
you and I
we have
stayed too long in this place
It’s the season now
of too much rain
and not much to say
It’s the cruelest month
where everything calls
and wants you to stay
I’m always in love
some days in despair
it’s all the same
So come gypsy girl
bring me that lie
that will make it okay
So won’t you come
to me now
let us forget
you and I
we have
stayed too long in this place
So won’t you come
to me now
let us forget
you and I
we have
stayed too long in this place
Look What Love Has Turned Us Into
We’re strangers
and we’re ugly
’cause we’ve lost so very much
Slip your tongue now
slip your beauty
inside this very heart
When everyone is sleeping
I’ll come and see you girl
I’ll bring you flowers
for your lonely world
Lovers are strangers
and we are too
look what love has
turned us into
So much older
so much older
what happened
I thought we were divine
But all we’re left with
are these bodies
that are now
entwined
Summer is almost wasted
and so we are too
I know I am just a station
that you are a passing through
Lovers are strangers
and we are too
look what love has
turned us into
Lovers are strangers
and we are too
look what love has
turned us into
The Dream Song
Desperate in my sleep
like I had lost something
when I awoke I found
it was just a dream
Dusk was coming down
the house made no sound
funny how a dream
it can make you weak
So I became the king
the king of all things weak
and I wrote this song
about all I need
Will I have a house?
Will I be a star?
what will people think
if I didn’t make it far?
Funny how a dream
it can make you weak
just a simple dream
it can make you weak
Come back home Suzanne
’cause it’s getting bleak
your boy has become
the king of all things weak
Come back home Suzanne
come and make it okay
It was a simple dream I know
but it won’t go away
it was a simple dream I know
but I won’t go away
Funny how a dream
it can make you weak
just a simple dream
it can make you weak
