Words From Another

Because sometimes song lyrics are therapy all by themselves . . .

Damien Rice

Cannonball

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth

Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt

Still a little hard to say what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness

Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed

You step a little closer each day

Still I can't say what's going on

Stones taught me to fly

Love taught me to lie

Life taught me to die

So it's not hard to fall

When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear

Still a little bit of your words

I long to hear

You step a little closer to me

So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly

Love taught me to lie

Life taught me to die

So it's not hard to fall

When you float like a cannon

A Fine Frenzy

Almost Lover

Your fingertips across my skin

The palm trees swaying in the wind

You sang me Spanish lullabies

The sweetest sadness in your eyes

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

And when you left you kissed my lips

You told me you'd never ever forget these images

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?
