A Fine Frenzy - Tekstovi Pesama

Almost Lover


Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

Ashes And Wine


Don't know what to do anymore
I've lost the only love worth fighting for
I'll drown in my tear storming sea,
That would show you, that would make you hurt like me

All the same
I don't want mudslinging games
It's such a shame
To let you walk away

Is there a chance?
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel?
A reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind?
Or are we ashes and wine?

Don't know if our fate's already sealed
This day's spinning circus on a wheel
I'm ill with the thought of your kiss
Coffee laced intoxicating on her lips

Shut it out
I've got no claim on you now
Not allowed to wear your freedom down

Is there a chance?
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel?
A reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind?
Or are we ashes and wine?

I'll tear myself away
That is what you need
There is nothing left to say
But

Is there a chance?
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel?
A reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind?
Or are we ashes and wine?
The day's still ashes and wine
Or are we ashes?

Avalanches (Culla's Song)



We found ourselves atop of a mountain peak
The air was thin as a beggar’s sleeve
The city lights were miles away
The hush was as thick as your winter coat
And you wrote our names in the morning
Snow with fallen twigs and berries saved

Well, don’t be scared of avalanches
Tucked up in my snowy branches
I will
Oh I will
Oh I will
I will keep you safe

The sun is overhead and you lift your face
Up to the sky and you sing this place
The sweetest song it's ever known
Then slowly the deer and the rabbits crept
Outside to hear, the grizzlies left
Their great big teeth and their claws
At home

Don't be scared of avalanches
Tucked up in my snowy branches, I will
And look how well the gray wolf dances
You bring light and second chances
I will
Oh I will
Oh oh I will
Oh oh I will
Oh oh I will
Yes, I will

I will
I will
Keep you safe

Bird Of The Summer


You came with the season, as the first swallow sang
A brown headed stranger, with a five-letter name

We planted our kisses where the wild berries grow my feet sprouted wings and I flew all the way home dooodoodoo

My cheeks red like fire engines racing straight to the heat of your skin and I know our days are numbered, early bird of the summer you'll fly south just as the fall begins

The leaves changed their colors and the schoolyards were filled
My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill dooo

You sent me a postcard from a town out of state, I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same doopdoodoo

The fields where we wandered were golden
Now only muddy my boots and I know I should recover, you're a bird of the summer, I was wrong to try and capture you

Flight
Flight

I met someone walking in a park by the lake
He don't fly like we did but he don't fly away

Gone is the pale hand of winter
Here is the first flush of may
And soon I will discover whether birds of the summer fly in circles or just fly away

Wish You Well


You're a million miles away this Christmas
You're a million miles away from home
But if you feel like coming back, coming back, let me know

I haven't heard you call me sister
I haven't heard it said in years
But it's a funny thing now it's the only thing I want to hear
For I don't know you anymore

I said ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Ring a sleigh bell
Ring a doorbell
I want to wish you well

Our family was never perfect
You did your best to tear it down
Well everybody made mistakes
I wish we could fix'em now

I understand that you are angry
Well, maybe I am angry too
Cause I still love you brother
But I don't know what to make of you
When I don't know you anymore

I said ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Ring a sleigh bell
Ring a doorbell
I want to wish you well

I said ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Ring a sleigh bell
Ring a doorbell
I want to wish you well

Now do you sit by your plastic tree
And tell your friends you've no family
It's not over, over, over
It's not over, over, over

I said ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Ring a sleigh bell
Ring a doorbell
I want to wish you well

I said ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Ring a sleigh bell
Ring a doorbell
I want to wish you well
I want to wish you well
I want to wish you well
I want to wish you well

You Picked Me


One, two, three
Counting out the signs we see
The tall buildings
Fading in the distance
Only dots on a map
Four, five, six
The two of us a perfect fit
You're all mine, all mine

And all I can say
Is you blow me away

Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me

So softly
Rain against the windows
And the strong coffee
Warming up my fingers
In this fisherman's house
You got me
Searched the sand
And climbed the tree
And brought me back down

And all I can say
Is you blow me away

Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me

Blow Away


One of us is gonna be here and
One of us is gonna be running
Off along to the great unknown
You're not me, you're a model of freedom
All you need are your kicks when you need 'em
You come and go, caught that slow alright

With one hand off the side
We get farther away in the blink of an eye

And it's the time we waste
Swallowed into space
It's the time it takes to
blo-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh away

Hey, you, yeah you gotta be leaving,
Say what you want, what you say, say anything
No one knows just how deep it goes
We are old in your teenaged tyranny
And all you need is a hunger to feed
I've got my own secrets though, say what?

With a heart full of mess and lore
We are doomed but we wanted more (what?)

It's the ride we take
The many winged escape
It's the bough we break to
blo-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh away
And we blo-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh away

[instrumental]

One of us is now retreating
You knocked me down so hard I'm seeing a thousand stars
Come out where you are
'cause I won't ever be caught crying
And I will not be taken lying, down
It blows into smoke

The time we waste
Swallowed into space
It's the time it takes to blo-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
It's the ride we take

The many winged escape
It's the bough we break to blo-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
It's the times we say that no one's gonna take your place
It's a mistake to blo-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh away,

We blo-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh away

Winter Wonderland


Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow, we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say, "No, man
But you can do the job
When you're in town."

Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow, we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the all the kids knock him down

When it snows, ain't it thrilling?
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland

Borrowed Time


Thick as thieves the last of leaves
In the winter sun
Holding fast this freezing branch
Is home to us

Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide

Counting stars and passing cars
On the interstate
The end is near I feel it dear,
But I am not afraid

Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide

But you say you're getting tired
You're tired and so am I
When you follow from behind

Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide

But you say you're getting tired
You're tired and so am I
When you follow from behind

Blue Christmas


I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue, blue memories, they start a-calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll, I'll have a blue, blue blue Christmas

Blue, blue Christmas without you
Blue, blue
Blue, blue
Blue, blue

You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
