Xylophone Ways 03:44
lyrics

Get it over here, would you honey Hold it gently in your hands Set it down here right in front of me I wanna see you play it now I wanna see you play it now Don't even think of running out I wanna see you play it now Show me what I do is right Don't change the music overnight. Play a little tune for me, honey Play it like it was when ... well, you know Let it be a story - maybe happy And when it's over, maybe I'll let you go If you hold onto your xylophone ways Hold on... Don't even think of running out I wanna see you play it now Can it be so hard to remember Even with a couple missing keys? Everything you know I wrote for you Can it be so hard one more time to show me? Show me what I did was right Don't change the music overnight. Hold onto your xylophone ways...

Your Sister (Original Version) 03:28
lyrics

I took your sister to a sundance I took your sister to a show On the way I ... on the way I Caught a hazy violet glow. Took my hand and led me walking To a clearing in the trees Then she smiled - I swear she smiled I swear your sister smiled at me She don't know better Bury me in flowers, watch me drown Anything would be better Than these violets crashing down Eyes that dance in the sunlight Hit me kinda like a drug I said, "Don't come near me". I said, "Don't come near me." She said, "Can't you see we are in love?" She don't know better Bury me in flowers, watch me drown Anything would be better Than these violets crashing down They say that eyesight is deceiving I know I saw what I did see And the proof is ... and the proof is When your sister danced with me Your sister danced with me She don't know better Bury me in flowers, watch me drown Anything would be better Than these violets crashing down She don't know better Bury me in flowers, watch me drown Anything would be better Than these violets crashing down Ahhhh! And the violets aren't making a sound...

Standin' There 04:11
lyrics

Standin' on the other side of the bridge Waving hello to you, say, "You gonna come over?" Shake your head & wave back, all smiles Isn't it just like you, say, "We're gonna meet halfway." Now I don't like bridges as much as I like your hair But if I had to make decisions, I'd leave you standin' there I'd leave you standin' there. Tight you are with your money and all I don't know how I ever got into this Every little thing is a tug of war But you're so beautiful, I wanna move you this way Now I don't like distance as much as I like your hair But if you keep up this resistance, I'll leave you standin' there I been thinkin' back to one of those days Trying to keep myself away You standin' there with those eyes on your face Waiting, waiting, waiting for me looking like You know I won't last You think I'm coming on fast - coming on fast You know I won't last You think your love will break me down How long you been around? Understand I don't hate you Once in a while I need to stand my ground Chances are when the going gets lonely Isn't just like me to simply go all the way? Now I don't mind saying how much I like your hair But if it's up to me giving in ... You know I'll leave you standin' there I'll leave you standin' there Stand there

Away 04:36
lyrics

I catch a vision in my mind, for a little time, then it's gone I don't remember what it was or is, but I know it was good I feel some restless skin sense, silence slides and tickles, touches Can't remember who I thought of, if I cared, or if I should But you are not here ... are not you, and when I need nothingness You won't go away (sweet away) I sleep in motion, sigh in sputters, breathe in boxes in a dream Every night and every day Soak the flicker from the satellite - gives me life Gives me a way I only need a little to show me I'm not crazy Sometimes yesterday/tomorrow fits too twisted with today But it is not here, is not so, and when I want nothing I can't throw it away Why do I do the things I do? Why do I feel the things I feel? As I ask questions it's like shooting stars at walls That make the sparks to start the fire, and stone by stone I am exposed They fall ... they fall away Too tender now to touch, I am a zeppelin near the sun I need the shelter of a thousand clouds to hold me - hold me Hold me somewhere close, so I can feel the way I wanna feel So safe again But it is not here, are not you, and when I push I push so far away So when you come, you are to stay And when you take, take me away
