Part IV: Home Again
02:54
|

Up on the mountain the sun will rise
Creep through your eyelids and prise them wide
Dawn always comes as a new surprise
Riding on a rail all through the night
Down in the valley a new morning
Throw back the curtains the day breaks in
Jump at the chance to be born again
Turn and set your face into the wind
When the sun comes up in the morning
‘Til the night goes down on the day
When the storm clouds part
And that feeling starts
Baby I know I’ll be coming home again
I find it easy to time things wrong
Fill every day with a brand new song
Look for my face and I’ve been and gone
Won’t stand in one place for very long
Up on the mountain, the sun goes down
Down in the valley, they’re sleeping now
Flick of the switch and the day turns out
Come tomorrow I’ll be leaving now

Cocaine Jane

I got a friend her name is Cocaine Jane, she’s
Dancing all night out in the pouring rain, she
Had what she wanted but she threw it all away
Oh Jane, how did you ever think things would change?
That one day you would make your getaway?
I see you running but you’re going nowhere
You’re going nowhere
No love, that we could give to you would be enough
We thought you had what you’d been dreaming of
But now you’ve blown it and you’re going nowhere
You’re going nowhere
Oh Jane, you want to live like you’re 18 again
Throw your responsibilities away
Can’t stop the party but it’s going nowhere
It’s going nowhere
Oh Jane don’t you see
The things that you believed to be
Much better than you had
Well it’s all the same
Oh Jane don’t you know
The best you had, you let it go
You’ll never find another
You’ll never find another
I got a friend and he’s been working hard, but
Jane don’t appreciate the things she’s got, so
Try as he might she just
Keeps pushing him away — away

The Motions
03:36
|

So I held you for a moment
And we knew that the day would come
With you and I aligned in all our hopes and promises
So assured what life we wanted from
So we go now through the motions
So it flows now like a river to the sea
And I might leave you if I could stand the notion
But you’re nothing now
You’re nothing without me, no
Many years now of lengthy silences
Many years now in gathering gloom
And we are creaking like the clock upon the mantelpiece
Coughing seconds out into the room
So I held you like my broken promises
And we hoped that the day would come
‘Cause I believed then that everything would be okay
Please don’t tell me now that I was wrong
So we go now through the motions
So it flows now like a river running true
And I might leave you if I could stand the notion
But I’m nothing now
I’m nothing without you, no
