Imposter

8 o'clock in the morning light
when he opens his eyes
laying still unsure of wakefulness so it seems
senses retrieved the impression still so distinct
gray autumn day peeks into his room
through a dim windowpane
in a moment now certainly not
in kingdom nor castle does he lay
what a thing it would be for today
if something were amiss with my face
oh imposter, imposter, imposter
the sound of shouting followed him through the night
wakes up in blackness unshackled from his life
indecent twin staring eye to eye
a whole supplanted life
our hero cried out and clutched his head
alas he had forseen it

Wind-Up

from the depths emerge a submarine to take its toll on the freighter
carried by the wind a little bird an alleyway and it cries out
what were those two doing so close to me
burying hearts in darkness I will never speak
oh, forever are you out of words for me
can you hear the tension when I speak
staring at the ceiling counting tiles til I'm asleep
why oh why won't she talk to me
all that you want is there
at the bottom of the well
how long did you spend feeling on guard
when you walked out just how much was planned
oh tell me tell me tell me what goes on inside your head
there's something there we both want to be said
living life without ambition seems to bring you down
don't you know that you are nothing to me
shouldn't feel so nervous trying to talk to you
following what I know to be true
all that I want is there
at the bottom of the well
squeeze the bat he's on his way

Mystery Pull
02:30
|

|
out to fly you've gone away
the city calls for all your days
are you going to write me letters
but I can't be your breathing aid
and I can't waste more time today
feel this slipping through my fingers
and I know this time will be more than most
can only take so much ticker teasing
and how privileged am I that my greatest aches
are matters of heart and affection
what to do when you're out of steam
and story arcs take just a few weeks
are you running up my doorstep
mystery pull, stay asleep
stay right here, stay with me

Meet Me In Montauk

let's go see the scottish play
sit up front and squeeze my hand
move the flowers from our view
the only thing to see is you
kiss you over the console
symphonies and vegetables
brittle hearts and make-up cards
late night walking to the park
come with me up north
swear I'll always keep you warm
honey I could be the house that you want
dreams of being all you need
in tower tumbling victory
I only want one thing for you to be in my arms
leaving early from the show
unexpected grocery run
oh so tired, so admired
oh my darling where've you gone
every memory interspersed
thread the needle don't get hurt
running hands locked through the station
as they push me in reverse
baby I could be the one
the pillared terrace stones out front
honey I could be the house that you want
you'll never feel less inside
I'll hold you back this one last time
then you've gone again, again this is goodbye
mid-erasing memories
I'll fight to keep til the last piece
of every second that was there for you and me
store my case on cassette tape
lock the files far away
I'll send you secret messages
I might see you on the train

Birthday
01:44

hey there tomorrow's your birthday
if my memory serves me right
gone 'round the sun 24 times
time to have many more fun nights
imagine the feeling making all the
coffee when you're 80
when the maker you have breaks
when you're 25 we could get it replaced
I'm quite taken with you is it clear from
all the songs I've been writing for you
I'm all out of rhymes tonight so
baby, happy birthday, goodnight
