Memories of Silver Street

River City 05:11
Waiting for arrival Just round the corner Given me a compilation That's when I saw her He said there's more to pay But you didn't believe me We're on our way Past the massive Strawberry This the 7th day Our destination April day Of our instauration Walking through river city The faces and names Will always come back to me No they won't go away This is the wish come true (and) I'm beholden whatever For now it's just me and you And this is forever Trying to catch your hand Just messing around Talking of future encounters No more the ghost town We sat under the trees And watched people changing A wooden seat Where we shared our dreams Reached for the sky then crashed together Walked you home In perfect weather You thought it was someone else's car On foot, didn't realise it was so far At home, enchanted by Clapton's guitar We were so close - still no cigar

Contact 03:48
Unexpected, A day late (mind so undecided) Thoughts collected, A rumour you confirmed (two-sided) The sun to rise It's time to put away the childish thing "So what's what?" This is me now I feel complete without the strings Contact - I'm on the move I'm talking to you Like I never thought that I would Contact - now we're complete You're the off-beat that I understood Undivided, Our first time we won't be on our own Unfamiliar, Arrange a time, a place, a cyclone And as I move into a new bizarre unfamiliar In two days, this is the vow A meet to chase the ghosts away

On your birthday, I hope all is good with you Even though we're not together I try my best to live up to Passion and secret letters I hope she'll never find Now my past is your present The one I got for your birthday Today celebrate But I forget your face If she ever knew I'm enamoured Both of our hearts out of place On your birthday I wish that I was there with you Meet your dreams and expectations But instead just passing through Passing round secret letters Thought that she'd find out Another one from the third floor Not given in person
4.
The land of Green Ginger Your fascination with tides Now you're asking me to sing Like I'm qualified Walking down Silver Street With bluest sky Time is a tower And memories multiply On Summer avenue Where we walk through how we feel So overdue Perfect but so surreal Look who I'm talking to My heart is a colour-wheel Summer Avenue Still walking there today Taking the stairs to Then we touch the sand Planning our trip to something we found So stops the minute hand The crescent, the rocks, the sand One word at a time Laughing at something juvenile Don't know why This day, a prime paragon
5.
Didn't know that tonight was the end Gotta change it before we descend Even though I'm aware you'll Never look at me that way again Smiling at me like you've heard it all before Those black Horses Wild and free and Still believe we can be somehow I hope that we Always hold on to The here and now You agree there are things to be said Should have known that you'd be prepared All the words bring a silence Every hope, every fear put to rest Here comes the pain for the crime of wanting more And those Black Horses Of our dreaming and believing The lights come on And as we leave Separation - aspirations gone Talking to me like you did before day one These Black Horses Wild and free and Still believe we can be somehow I hope that we Always hold on to The here and now

The Train pulls into platform two The tip-up seats are empty It's the middle of the morning - half past ten The postbox on the corner used The number seven bus It's late, the people at the bus stop seem born again Cross the road, descending The river road is winding Wooden doll keeps smiling The landing where the stage was The first time I believed That we'd be as one The sea fret over harbour quay Here beneath the chestnut tree The sun behind the haze These are our dog days Looking out across the sea Don't care where we want to be Conversation unafraid That summer never fades The sun can be cruel and time can too Adventure playground empty A circle in the square - a wooden seat She tells me of a moment And how the pain would last Neither of us have somewhere to be Up the hill and round the tree The gate, the road, the station The clock turn round to half past two It's new but it's reliving The time between the times When I was me and you were you
7.
Time in between Days get lost You're not here Stars are Crossed Right here, playing a part Sun on the water, waiting for June to start The love I had still burning Still driving my every move Feel the desire returning There's nothing to prove The love I need is coming A Window on the World The Catherine wheels stops turning Still hanging on every word Box on the wall Time Decay Waiting here For the longest day Unsure - but sure all the same Sun on the water and it's spelling out your name
8.
Day One 03:24
And here's me thinking it's because it's how I feel There's you taking the initiative Here's me waiting for you to arrive I see it, pale and smiling I'm listening to a conversation I don't know where these people go We're waiting for another stranger a virgo and a Scorpio A gentle start to day one Here on the bleachers with a hit and run Tallking of giving it up Hanging around or just hanging on to the rising sun And here's me acting like I'm down with it all There's you saying I'm not Here's me trying to act so indifferent "What will you do when you leave?" She wonders how long it's been A full 2 years in her dreams Turning on the machine Remembering all I've seen Walking round on day one Here on the fountain with a painted sun Feeling a part of it all Buying things that make the day one that I replay A perfect end to day one Moving in as we come undone needing this feeling again So brand new I'm asking how to arrange day two
9.
Old Town 05:31
Waiting by the bus stop by the tree For you to come by and take me The station, a kiss goodbye and off we sail Feet on the seat, A magazine Then a voice heard not seen The big smoke we're about to inhale Underground going the wrong way Then all of the lights went out Had to change the order of business Horror for entertainment, this walkabout Old Town Like the first kiss So much to discover Following the paper trail From one end to the other Happy doing things that you planned Follow it around Holding on to one another Now we're part of the old town All of these faces so familiar You take a picture by those you know Take a cab around it's history and the chamber as planned Then to the garden with violins Stop at the diner on the road Back to the circus so you can touch a hand The greatest place I've ever been Went to London and saw the queen Took you to a place in between This day, this hour will forever be
10.
Standing in the cold Waiting for your explanation Nothing since twenty six ten Six weeks of dislocation You never called when you said you would In fact you never called at all Nothing left and nowhere to go So long since our landfall Black Horses Black Horses Run By - Over the hills, Over the hills Stayed late to avoid you But then I tested your answerphone Now I wish we had more time Should have ended ages ago Need someone who cares if I live or die I ignored you and you ignored me Everything seems to be slipping away Until the call from overseas Black Horses, Black Horses Run By - Over the Hills, Over the Hills Excuses Too long, too old and "I don't know" you called me Mr. Unsociable but you reminisced all our good times One day's sadness and one year's spite I ignored 'I never said this'
