Angel Of Stone

Please don’t ambush me with tears in your eyes
‘Cause I just can’t cope
It’s like running a
Vertical slope
I said leave well alone
(go find someone new)
I said leave well alone
(go find someone who)
I said leave well alone
(who can keep on loving you)
Cause I’m an angel made of stone
I’m not the one you want
And I’m not the one you need
When your heart turns to freeze
You know emotion brings me to my knees
I said leave well alone
(go find someone new)
I said leave well alone
(go find someone who)
I said leave well alone
(who can keep on loving you)
Cause I’m an angel made of stone
Well I’ll search every corner
To find the peace you need
But right here, right now darling
It just can’t be me
Oh no it can’t be me
I said leave well alone
(go find someone new)
I said leave well alone
(go find someone who)
I said leave well alone
(who can keep on loving you)
Cause I’m an angel made of stone

Carousel

Faces in silhouette
Why should I need to know?
All this backwards talking
It’s all mirage and shadows
The horse has fallen from the carousel
All because of your kiss and tell
again my friend
But I don’t think I could face it all again
Voices through the walls, the walls
The sun has set and day is done
Burning bridges shore to shore
The one that was always here now has gone
The horse has fallen from the carousel
All because of your kiss and tell
I would say let’s spin round again my friend
But I don’t think I could face it all again
Voices through the walls, the walls
The sun has set day is done
Burning bridges shore to shore
The one that was always here now has gone

Splendid Isolation
04:00
|

|
Painted words, tainted love
Maybe they’ll evaporate and float above
Pacing, I’ll slide along the walls
Close like waves to the shore
Motion to myself for another word
But there’s a rhyme and reason that is never heard
Shaded doubts, lighter dreams
Calms monologues that tend to lean
On me like they do on you
I’m reassured by your point of view
Motion to myself for another word
But there’s a rhyme and reason that is never heard
In this Splendid Isolation
For me
Only connect, solely adrift
Shattered, the glass ship it shifts
Black from out of the blue
Tell me have you felt that too?
Motion to me for a sense of the world
Can’t take reflection out of the girl
All too quiet, my mind's on fire
I can’t give love what it desires
Racing but going nowhere
Question of do or dare
Motion to me for a sense of it all
Wrapped in your arms curled up like a ball
In this Splendid Isolation
For me
