Verse 1:
Your smile, and the gin that I dropped on the floor,
You tell me but I ask for more, and we just laugh out loud.
Hands sweat, the smoke blows and I want to kiss you,
You speak of the man who has raised you, and there’s hurt in those green eyes.
Chorus:
So whyyyyyy, do I feel this way?
Your eyessssss, oh green butterflies, oh fly, away.
Verse 2:
When you smile, it makes all of my hairs stand,
Your neck, shoulder, lips I can taste you. Will it always be this way?
But its you, your heart of gold your laugh and your soft touch.
Your name on my phone I don’t love much, but I do now you’re here.
Chorus
Bridge:
But you, you are the one I never thought that I could find.
And you, you are the one, that can make me lo se my mind.
And for, oh one more day another year that I could share with you .
These years that passed us by, another story I would give it all – cause I would give it all.. to spend some time with him.
Chorus

Verse1
Well this sky is like a rose stain, so pink for the winter winds.
And my bones they start to ache now as I feel all kinds of things.
Verse 2
Your eyes shape out the high hills, as they look me up and down,
I’ve seen the day when I’d have cared so but I don’t now cause I’m gone, I’ve left this town.
Chorus:
Oh Mary, Mary quite contrary,
I understand that this change is quite scary but the rivers still run the same.
You’ll fall down once, you’ll fall down twice,
meet devils in the dark who at first seem really nice,
but all of these things are what life brings.
Verse 3
Now you’re grey and on the bar stool, smell of beer and cigarettes.
Your independence has long gone baby, you’re stuck here and there’s never going back.
Bridge
But when the rain comes, the land it will flood,
the moon will appear and your bones and your blood
will pull through.. but who even are you.
Chorus
Oh Mary, Mary quite contrary,
I understand that this change is quite scary but the rivers still run the same.
You’ll fall down once, you’ll fall down twice,
meet devils in the dark who at first seem really nice,
but all of these things , yes all of these things, yeah all of these things…
are what life brings.

If you want to know where your heart is,
go where your mind wanders. X2
Where it wa-a-a-anders x4

A stranger to the eye of your own blood is what you say you are
Oh darling one please know that you’re more than that… it’s a fact

Slow fluttered eyes gazing out of the window, how may pulses can it take till it bursts?
Hold my smile while I walk, shut the window…

Puffy faces pressed against the ward lines, take a deep breath steam, up and the glass and breathe again.

They say this bird, it holds a soul, something precious nothing more.
And In the dark wood I will hear, a Robin’s song.
Small break

The rain In a pond will shimmer so, the stones in a bath will glimmer no more.
Oh you had wings in your heart it flew out, and I feel this more than I ever did doubt.
Chorus
So I will fly one day with you, just like a kite in the wind – only two.
But for you now, Ill watch and hear the Robin’s song.
Verse 3
Oh we are not filled with fear and we are not filled with grief.
This is of the birds song, it fills me with anger.
And not with you and not with I, but the story I hold with me deep inside.

Oh how, oh how can you be so strong?
Oh how, oh how can you just smile at me?
At 5 at 5pm we both were born.
Oh my mother, my mother and me.
At 12, at 12 I judged the whole world.
At 12, I could not really see.
Oh why, oh why do you have aching bones
I hope your strength grows stringer in my.
I feel, so sad and all this anger,
Lies in my father and in me.
But blue, oh blue skies shine above you,
Oh my mother oh how I love you.
Bridge:
Your precious aching bones, your precious aching bones.
Your precious aching bones lie in… lie in our way.
Oh how, oh how can you be so strong?
Oh how, oh how can you just smile at me?

Oh my mother, my mother and me.

I find myself by looking at you,
do you do it too or is there someone new?
Well I wanna know, and I know that’s not right.
You’re a son of a bitch cause I’m still gripping these sheets,
we’re too weak, im not strong need to stand on my own two feet,
and I know that’s not right.
This is no love song like the ones before,
you hurt me, im angry and my heart is torn
and im so , so sorry for this.
Oh but, she’s got you and she wants you to herself
Oh it was never me that had you wrapped around that little finger
Boy please open your eyes and look around..
The woman’s got you on your knees. The problems with your lover please.
Mmmmm
Your love reminds me of the words in the sand
That I write with a sharp stick and don’t understand
Cause the tide, has swept them away.
You say you’re messed up, you don’t know, you can’t understand
Well trust me, I’ve been there I can give you a hand,
When you’re beside me, there’s no love anymore.
Chorus
Bridge
Oh you, you don’t understand….
cause the only love that you will ever give is like words written in the sand X2
Instrumental
Chorus
I pleasure myself by looking at you,
do you do it too or is there someone new?
Well I don’t wanna know, and I’m sorry for this.
