Your Blue

I put myself on the other side/ each time she comes around/ The words are slipping from my mind/ but they never make a sound/ I catch a glance from pale blues eyes/ they ask just what is wrong/ she hates it when I speak my mind/ so I put it in a song....
Said I don;t know, it ain't nothing babe/ I'm just feeling your blue/ But come to the other side, I'll sing for you
Now I'm broken down, far from home/ and stoned out of my mind/ I heard my heart, it felt alone/ so I left it on down the line/ staring at your clear blue eyes/ just feels like pouring rain/ They say everyone is making love/ or else expecting pain...
Said I don't know it's just nothin' babe/ I'm just feeling your blue/ but come to the other side, I'
ll sing for you
I said won't you come on down to the other side/ down to the bottom of this world with me/ I'll take you all the way down to the other side/ Cause when you come around, that's where I'll be/ cause when you come around that's where I'll be.......
Said I do't know it's just nothin' babe/ I'm just feeling your blue/ but come to the other side, I'
ll sing for you
They say don;t you go on down to the other side/ it's not the kind of place a girl like you should be/ they don;t even know the way down to the other side/ But when you come around, that's where I'll be/ but when you come around, that's where I'll be/ cause when you come around that's where I'll be...

It happened minutes off the plane/
In an unfamiliar town/
"Say darlin', are you headin' my way?/
Cause I don't know my way around/
Oh girl, just tell me your name/
Maybe I'll write a song for you"/
We hit the town til 3 AM/
Then she said, "Boy... I'm chuffed for you"
And she said/
"I know some people call it fate/
Some people find their matches in the starts/
But me, I play this silly game/
The way I know it's lovw is when you show me your birthmark baby..."
So I said/
"Show me your, I'll show you mine"/
I swear hers looked just like a star/
And me, well mine is on my side/
I'm the man with a crooked heart/
But I know I loved her then/
We drank away the afternoon/
Praying Auckland summers would never end/
Each time she said "Boy, I'm chuffed for you"
Oh, oh/
Oh, oh/
Why did I leave her/
On the other side of the world/
Now I'm home/
Oh, oh/
The days just aren't the same/
Without hearing you say/
"I'm chuffed for you..."
Another week I'm on a plane/
She caught a bus down the avenue/
But if she ever comes back my way/
I'll play her a sonmg called "Chuffed for You"
Oh, oh/
Oh, oh/
Why did I leave her/
On the other side of the world/
Now I'm home/
Oh, oh/
The days just aren't the same/
Without hearing you say/
Oh, oh/
Oh, oh/
Why did I leave her/
On the other side of the world/
Now I'm home/
Oh, oh/
The days just aren't the same/
Without hearing you say/
"I'm chuffed for you..."

Broken Sidewalks

I know that you're leaving/
And I know that I'm to blame/
There ain;t no use in changing/
It all just ends the same/
I tried so hard to keep you, and you/
You tried so hard to go/
The dreams I made for me and you/
They're scattered to the road...
But another drink, I'll say goodbye/
Another bottle and I can close my eyes/
I'm gonna sing until it hurts/
Leave broken hearts carved in the dirt/
I'll give'em names, let voices crack/
Just like the sidewalks that lead me back/
To the place where we first kissed so long ago...
I finally got the nerve to ask you/
To be my everything/
Knowing you would never believe it was true/
Until you saw that ring/
But that night we sat outside/
And watched the pouring rain/
My dreams flashed before my eyes/
As you shot me down likt lightning once again...
But another drink, I'll say goodbye/
Another bottle and I can close my eyes/
I'm gonna sing until it hurts/
Leave broken hearts carved in the dirt/
I'll give'em names, let voices crack/
Just like the sidewalks that lead me back/
To the place where we first kissed so long ago/
So long ago/
So long ago/
Oh, oh, oh, oh/
So long ago/
So long ago/
So long ago/
Oh, oh/
Oh...
But if you decide you wanna try again/
Come find me 'fore I lose hope/
I'm down where broken sidewalks end/
You know just where to go/
But if you find that I'm not there/
Say my name like you used to do/
Then listen softly to that summer air/
It'll sing this song with you...
But another drink, you'll say goodbye/
Another bottle and you can close my eyes/
You'll wanna sing until it hurts/
Leave broken hearts carved in the dirt/
You'll give'em names, let voices crack/
Just like the sidewalks that lead you back/
To the place where we first kissed so long ago...

So Far Away...
02:30

By and large/
It's all been done/
And everyone knows how it ends/
Where love did fail/
Well time will show/
From broken hearts can friends still grow?
But it's time for me to go/
So far away/
So far away without you/
I leave the broken part opf me/
By the door when I leave, I'm/
So far away without you...
And now I find that I/
Have always been the kind/
To try to find myself/
In someone else/
And I don't know why/
I do it to myself/
Because I fall for you/
Again and again and again....
But it's time for me to go/
So far away/
So far away without you/
I leave the broken part opf me/
By the door when I leave, I'm/
So far away without you/
But it's time for me to go/
So far away/
So far away without you/
I leave the broken part opf me/
By the door when I leave, I'm/
So far away without you...
By and large/
It's all been done/
And everyone knows how it ends...

Hey There (Katie #2)

Hey there, it's been a while/
Since the last time I saw you/
I'd love to bathe in the warmth of your smile/
And spend the whole day in bed with you...
But if you're leaving/
I'm gonna have to write a song/
Cause all the old songs remind me of you/
Do you remember/
When we didn;t care 'bout anyone?/
Just sang the old songs out of tune...
Hey there, it's been forever/
Sure has been a long time/
Since we were in love with eachother/
Singing "...Santa Cruz" top pass the time...
But if you're leaving/
I'm gonna have to write a song/
Cause all the old songs remind me of you/
Do you remember/
When we didn;t care 'bout anyone?/
Just sang the old songs out of tune...
Cause if you're leaving/
It has to be the end/
Long-distance lovers don't know the pain/
of short-distance friends/
And if you're leaving/
I'll have to go away/
But maybe we'll meet again someday/
And we'll sing...
Hey there, it's been a while/
Since the last time I saw you/
Let's just stay in the warmth of our smiles/
Spend the whole day here with you...
Cause since you left me/
I've learned all our favorite songs/
I play them all the time, I think of you/
Let's be together/
Forget about everyone/
Just sing the old songs out of tune/
But if you're leaving/
I'm gonna have to write a song/
Cause all the old songs remind me of you/
Do you remember/
When we didn;t care 'bout anyone?/
Just sang the old songs out of tune...

Baby, We're Not Alright

Can you tell me/
My dear old friend/
Just why the nights seem long?/
The years flew by/
Like these shooting stars/
But now when you're gone/
They all stand still/
And the playgrounds/
From when we were young/
Are overgrown and broken down/
And the places/
we used to love/
They've closed up of left town/
It's such a shame...
And baby, I'm not alright/
Baby. we're not alright/
Baby, it;s not alright/
To live this way/
And baby, we're not alright/
Baby, it's not alright/
Baby it's not alright/
To live this way...
I know/
You think you;ve to make it/
On your own/
And I know/
That I've let you down before/
But all that I want/
Is to make you happy/
Like you used to be/
You used to tell mw every day/
Before/
We gave it all away...
And baby, we're not alright/
Baby. it's not alright/
Baby, it;s not alright/
To live this way/
And baby, it's not alright/
Baby, it's not alright/
Baby it's not alright/
To live this way...
Can you tell me/
My dear old friend/
Just why the nights seem long?
