ECHO

Sometimes everything seems to be going by so slow

Love signs, what does it matter if you're the last to know

In time, nothing left but a voice the last to go

For all time, repeating the verses I heard so long ago

Fadeaway, can't help but fadeaway

Hear a voice and you're hearing me

Not to touch nothing left to see

Just a sound heard endlessly

Fadeaway, fadeaway

Love dies and takes away everything with it don't you know

Don't cry, you shouldn't be sad for what never could've grown

Somehow loving you leaves me with nothing left to show

Just words echoing verses we heard so long ago

Fadeaway, can't help but fadeaway

Hear a voice and you're hearing me

Not to touch nothing left to see

Just a sound heard endlessly

Fadeaway, fadeaway

BACKWARDS BOY

Hold tight for the backwards boy, he's on his way to you

Got lots to learn, that backwards boy

He'd like to learn it from you

He'd like to know what can you lose when the sun goes down

And what you find in the earth

He'd like to know why he's the one that fell behind

He'd like to know why he doesn't feel worse

He's just a backwards boy

A backwards boy

Leave room for the backwards boy he's gonna need it from you

Got his questions from TV and from comic books

He'd love the answers from you

He wants to know who's pictures you been throwing out

And if you paid your respects

He wants to know if love is measured by the time you spend

He wants to know if he could ever be next

He's just a backwards boy

A backwards boy

There's a place for the backwards boy, he wants to find it in you

A place to breathe for the backwards boy

He might be perfect for you

You might remember what to do when the sun goes down

You might remember how to live on the earth

You might remember that there's nothing wrong in looking back

And maybe laugh when when you've never felt worse

He's just a backwards boy

A backwards boy

ON OUR OWN

Try to hear the rest of what I'm saying to you lover

I don't want to live my life on my own

You'll come to see it later and by then you might discover that the way we are now isn't any fun

Don't try to change my mind

You'll never change my mind

Don't try to understand

You'll never understand

You and me together may not be a past occurance

But we gotta live our lives on our own

We'll celebrate in secret or we'll celebrate together

But I hope we're not celebrating long

Walk down the street tonight

Eyes open wide tonight

Things that you've seen before

I've never seen before

Be with me

I need you

Stay with me

I need you

How could I have let you slip away...

LITTLE GIRL

Hey little girl why you standing all alone

Play around in the streets and you're never coming home

I know you gotta play the part, make your moves in the dark

But I think I want to see you, little girl

You expect an awful lot from an audience of one

The more you run around at night you know the less you see the sun

And you know what they say, the more you do the less you feel

But still I want to see you

Little girl little girl don't you do it secretly

Little girl little girl what you sticking into me

Little girl little girl don't you come inside of me

Little girl

I know you do it little girl but I don't think you do it right

You better stop it 'cause you know it'll numb you overnight

You wanna hide your face then you shouldn't look at me

'Cause I'm the only one who sees you

Little girl little girl don't you do it secretly

Little girl little girl what you sticking into me

Little girl little girl don't you come inside of me

Little girl

HOLD ME

Kind of sad when I think of you

All alone whatever you do

All your love's been taken away

Still I want you back here someday

Hold me please hold me until I feel fine

Just want to think that you'll always be mine

Let them all run circles around you

Let them be whatever you do

Hold me please hold me until I feel fine

Just want to think that you'll always be mine

BETTER OFF ALONE

Something tells me I'm in for a surprise

Something tells me you're in the mood to paralyse

If you think you're gonna take me to places unknown

Something tells me I'd be better off alone

You got a lot of things lined up for us to do

But I'm not sure I can do anything with you

As long as I can I think I'm gonna go

'Cause I'm pretty sure I'd be better off alone

Something tells me I'd be better off alone

I don't think I wanna know what you got on your mind

I know I can't trust you when things are going fine

I'd rather say see you later than I should've known

And I'm pretty sure I'd be better off alone

Something tells me I'd be better off alone

QUESTIONS

I think there's something that I ought to let you know

About how hard it's going to be to see you go

There isn't anything that could've made it last

There isn't any future for a love that's past

Questions only matter when you realize

You can't believe the answers 'til the reasons die

I'm further from the answers than I was before

And questions only make me want to ask some more

What could I have done to make you pass me by

I wish that I could find a way to ask you why

As long as you can think there's gonna be some doubt

There's too much going on to ever figure out

Questions only matter when you realize

You can't believe the answers 'til the reasons die

I'm further from the answers than I was before

And questions only make me want to ask some more

IF IT'S ME

You tell me all the things that I've done wrong

You wonder why I get upset

You ask me how I feel and I don't know

And I don't know

What it is that I am running from

Close my eyes and maybe you'll just disappear

Don't think it would do me any good

What do I think about you well I don't know

And I don't know

Who it is that I am running from

If I'm supposed to look inside

What is there left to see

So I gotta look to you

You shake your head 'cause I don't know

How did it come to this, well I don't know

And I don't know

If it's me that I am running from

EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND

You been here a long long time

You been acting like I'm blind

Every time I see you, I look for ways to leave you

But reasons seem so hard to find

Every time you change your mind

Do you do it to confuse

Is this a game I gotta lose

Every time I wanna tell you, can't think of how to tell you

And reasons seem so hard to find

Every time you change your mind

Come and see me one more time

Come and tell me that your mine

Don't believe a word I say, I won't last another day

But reasons seem so hard to find

Every time you change your mind

LATELY

I'm always thinking 'bout you lately

And what this might be coming to

Now a voice is getting louder and I think I understand it lately

Says it's gonna help me see what's happening to you

There's gotta be a way, gotta be a way

To find out if you care to tell me

I didn't need it then, I know I want it now

But I just can't seem to get close to you lately

The darkness hides the nighttime shadows

No starlight there to let you see

Don't you know what stands behind you makes you cast a shadow

Don't you know that you've been casting yours on me

There's gotta be a way, gotta be a way

To find out if you care to tell me

I didn't need it then, I know I want it now

But I just can't seem to get close to you lately

Something wrapped tight around you lately

Something's that also holding me

I just want to know what's happened to you lately

And what it is you have to keep unseen

TIL WE MEET AGAIN

Your company's sweet your union dear

Your words delightful to mine ear

If only it could stay this way

But when I see that we must part

You draw like cords around my heart

To never be unbound again

So whenever you sigh remember me

Whatever you try remember me

Whenever you cry remember me

Til we meet again

I hope you will remember me

If you on earth no more i see

A love like ours should never ever die

So whenever you sigh remember me

Whatever you try remember me

Whenever you cry remember me

Til we meet again

And as I see you ride away

My eyes shall meet yours again I pray

So whenever you sigh remember me

Whatever you try remember me

Whenever you cry remember me

Til we meet again

coda: Loving eyes - sing in the rain, another sleepless lullabye.

Mourning sounds are in the leaves - another hope another dream of loving eyes...
