Keep Dancing

The man said you were dancing
With no shoes on amid the broken glass
And the dog shit and cigarette ends
Laughing and shuffling from tree to tree
Dancing your way to me
Keep dancing, keep dancing
I’ve been wrong so long it felt so right
The sun was shining and it was sweet
Watching the ladybugs climb up a blade of grass
And balance on top of a dewdrop
Swaying in the breeze like they were floating on a fisheye
Dancing, keep dancing
Turn to lick the salt from your skin
Run to the river and all jump in
City dizzy with flashing lights
Don’t know if it’s day or night
But the man said you were dancing
With no shoes on amid the broken glass
And the dog shit and cigarette ends
Laughing and shuffling from tree to tree
Dancing your way back to me
Keep dancing
Keep dancing
Keep dancing

Nothing

When I was a child
I played hide and seek
I forgot that you were gone
I thought my mind
Played tricks on me
You’d hidden long ago
Among the rubble and the weeds
In a place called nothing
I used to watch you dive
Break the water’s skin
Watch the river ripple out
And sew itself back up again
Then you’d burst through
Bright as the sun just when I
Thought I’d have to look for you
And I’d find nothing
Now I’m running for the train
Same train everyone is running for
Before there’s nothing
To take you where you want to go
Maybe I’ll find you there
Maybe I’ll find nothing
When I was a child
I played hide and seek
I forgot that you were gone
I thought that my mind
Was playing tricks on me
You’d hidden long ago
Among the bottles and the weed
In a place called nothing

Not In Love
03:33
|
|||
|
I’m not in love
And I’m not crying
It’s just that these memories
Come hard when the nights are long
It’s not enough
Just getting high and
Wondering if anything
Can be right when it’s all so wrong
Meet me on the edge of town
Toss a coin and find which way to turn
I’m not in love
I’m doing fine but it
Sometimes seems all my dreams
Are of things that we left behind
Does it have to be so hard?
It could be beautiful
Me and you
You know you’re on my mind
Meet me on the edge of town
Toss a coin and find which way to turn
I’m not in love I’m not in love I’m not in love

We always say too much you know
When all you want is yes or no
Light a candle say a prayer
Make believe that someone’s there
The thing they don’t tell you about girls is
We don’t know when to stop
Find a stray and take him in
Feel you underneath my skin
Since you’re gone I keep away
From bridges, trains and razor blades
The thing that they don’t tell you about girls is
We don’t know when to stop
Well if you want to know the truth
Sometimes I climb on the roof
Balance high above the street
Just to hear my heart still beat
The thing they don’t tell you about girls is
We don’t know when to stop
The thing they don’t tell you about girls is
We don’t know when to stop

This road is going nowhere
I don’t know where it will end
Why can’t we just keep going
The way we used to do my friend
Turn the radio on
Find a song we can sing along
And maybe just for one moment pretend
That nothing’s wrong
While I’m waiting for the shadows to fall
Waiting for the shadows to fall
Sun is shining like a mirror ball
On the broken pieces of my heart
Why can’t we shake on it
And try to make a new start
I know you’re looking for the turning
I’ve seen you looking for a sign
But you can’t see the horizon
Only the end of the line
And I’m waiting for the shadows to fall
Waiting for the shadows to fall
Waiting for the shadows to fall
Just waiting for the shadows to fall

Carey's Song
02:01
|
|||
|
Me and the moon, waiting for the sunrise
Though every morning is another goodbye
Wind blew the last of the leaves from the treetops
Sometimes I’m sad Carey, I don’t know why
But if you find you change your mind
Don’t come looking for me
‘Cause I’m not going to be here any more
Packed up all the promises, suitcase full of failures
Carey, I’m leaving, I’m walking out the door
Watch the morning blazing gold behind the mountain
I still believe in once upon a times
Been down this road so often I’ve stopped counting
And still I’m lost Carey, I don’t know why
Carey, I love you and I don’t know why

Creation Day
04:57
|
|||
|
There was a room
The windows shuttered now
A wooden bed
And by the bed
Roses and candles
An old book of rules
We could never keep
The room is empty now
Of all the things we’ve done
I have a photograph
And then we disappear
And I still want you
There was a clock
It said confession time
Time to kiss and tell
Say it was heavenly
Maybe it was hell
It’s good to be alone
Well that’s a lie
The world is empty now
Of all the things we’ve done
I have a photograph
And then we disappear
And I still need you
There was a time
They called Creation Day
A day of peace
A day of fire but
Maybe I dreamed of that
The way I hoped it was
When we were flesh and blood
Our bodies empty now
Of all the things we’ve done
I have a photograph
And then we disappear
And I still love you

Sweet California
03:01

Riding into the sunset
Like a cowboy movie hero
Dust in the air shines gold in the sun
Birds fly wings stir up the blue
Oh sweet California
My heart calls out to you
Sweet California
I’m coming home
Coming home to you
Did you miss me when I was gone
Nights the moon hung on the water
And the night birds sang the sweetest song
Don’t look back now, only moving on
Oh sweet California
My heart calls out to you
Want to feel your warm breath on my skin
Let the ocean wash away my sin
Oh sweet California
Sweet California
I’m coming home
Coming home to you

The man who painted the sea blue
Knew the color of your eyes
That shine and sparkle in the sun
Fade to grey with the night
The man who painted the sea blue
Knows his work is never done
For the tide will always be turning
It’s here and it’s gone
You’re out on your own cloud
Way up in the sky
Don’t know where you’re going
But I know it’s goodbye
The man who painted the sea blue
Knows how it feels to be alone
Like a child I cry for you
To hold me and take me home

Stay Awhile
02:58
|

Stay awhile, you don’t have to go
The night is long and I need you so
And the pain I feel every time we part
It hurts my soul and it breaks my heart
And if you go I will always be waiting
And if you fall I’ll fly across oceans
To carry you home
Stay awhile
Stay awhile
There’s no more to lose and so much to feel
And these sweet old dreams have become so real
I can hear your heart beating close to mine
Stay with me, oh stay awhile
And if you go I will always be waiting
And if you fall I’ll fly across oceans
To carry you home
Stay awhile
Stay awhile

Well go on, put your clothes on
And walk right out the door
Don’t want to see you when the sun breaks through the blind
If you’re thinking I’ll come running
And beg you back for more
Then baby you’ve been drinking more than I
We can talk all day and talk all night again
But nothing I say could ever make it right again
‘Cause my heart died a thousand years before I met you, baby
There’s nothing here but a long, cold, lonely road
And a hole in my jeans and some busted dreams
And gum on the soles of my shoes
But I’ll tell you I love you if you’ll
Help me say goodbye to these blues
Well there’s three more hours till morning
And a bottle on the floor
With enough inside to keep us high till dawn
But if you’re thinking that I’m weakening
And believing that I’m yours
I’m going to turn right round and just keep moving on
I can’t be what you want and I won’t be what you need again
And I don’t understand why you got to stand there and bleed again
‘Cause my heart died a thousand years before I met you, baby
There’s nothing here but a long, cold, lonely road
And a hole in my jeans and some busted dreams
And gum on the soles of my shoes
But I’ll tell you I love you if you’ll
Help me say goodbye to these blues
I’ll tell you I love you if you’ll
Help me say goodbye to these blues

Sylvie Simmons San Francisco, California
Sylvie Simmons was a young girl when she bought her first guitar in a junk shop. One night she took it onstage and, paralyzed by stage fright, chose to play only at home. For Sylvie home was a malleable concept. Born and raised in London, she had a habit of running away, starting with L.A, where she became a renowned music writer. ... more
