jewel
nameless you took your coat off, stood in the rain
you were always crazy like that

and i watched from my window
always felt i was outside
looking in on you

you were always the misterious one
with dark eyes and careless hair
you were fashionably sensitive but too cool to care

then you stood in my doorway with nothing to say
besides some comment on the weather

well in case you failed to notice
in case you failed to see
this is my heart bleeding before you
this is me down on my knees

these foolish games are tearing me apart
your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
you're breaking my heart

you were always brilliant in the morning
smoking your cigarettes
talking over coffee

your philosophies on art
baroque moved you, you loved mozard
and you'd speak of your loved ones
as i clumsily strummed my guitare

you'd teache me of honest things
things that were daring
things that were clean
things that knew what an honest dollar did mean

so i hid my soiled hands behind my back
somewhere along the line, i must have gone off track with you

excuse me
think i've mistaking you for somebody else
somebody who gave a damn
sombody more like myself

these foolish games are tearing me
tearing me
tearing me apart
your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
you're breaking my heart

daxle Sometimes I wish I still liked you, so I could bring up the point of having seen you perform in a small cafe before you got ridiculous. Your stupidity is causing me to be humble though, so thank you jewel. 000411

CinnamonGirl she's ok and that song IS great
I have 2 of her CD's but I stopped listening to them quite long ago, sometimes only for the memories

blown cherry Please don't say I love
those words touch me much too deeply
And they make my core tremble
Don't think you realise the effect
You have over me
And please don't look at me like that
It just makes me want to make you near me always

Please don't kiss me so sweet
It makes me crave a thousand kisses to follow
And please don't touch me like that
Makes every other embrace seem pale and shallow
And please don't come so close
It just makes me want to make you near me always

And please don't bring me flowers
They only whisper the sweet things you'd say
DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND ME
YOUR HANDS ALREADY KNOW TOO MUCH ANYWAY
It makes me want to make you near me always

And when you look in my eyes
Please know my heart is in your hands
It's nothing that i understand
But in your arms you have a deep power over me
So be gentle if you please
CAUSE YOUR HANDS ARE IN MY HAIR BUT
MY HEART IS IN YOUR TEETH BABY
Makes me want to make you near me always

Your hands are in my hair but
My heart is in your teeth baby
Makes me want to make you near me always
Wanna be near you always
Wanna be near you always
Wanna be near you always

bespeckled He trudges through hazy darkness,
the fog swimming in his eyes
and his feet dig into wet dirt
and his teeth clench in cold and loneliness.

Then he sees a shining
lying within his reach.
As he stoops to pick it up
he realizes he'll never be lonely again.
