do you remember those summer nights in market square? we were so much younger when we were shining brilliant and bright just like a new dime now we're so much older and now there's trains to catch and bills to pay our hour is growing thin just take me back to market square I want to go back where we never had to worry everything was growing as it should just take me back to market square do you remember those summer nights? we were so much younger

lyrics

dear sister, won't you join us here on the ground when your mission ends and the body's found dear sister, I could feed you lies say the answer's here in my lullaby but I don't take you for a fool dear sister, there's a distant smoke that draws you in what could be the harm in a little toke? but those people who would celebrate a man on fire can't reveal your fate don't let them take you for a fool the only place to go is down there ain't no sky without the ground I'm sure that you already know but it bears repeating: dear sister, won't you join us here on the ground when the mission ends and the body's found don't let them take you for a fool don't let them take you

Heaven Only Knows 03:22
lyrics
buy track
caught myself in indecision I couldn't decide if I was right to let you go Heaven only knows I've been drinking for a living, now you're gone I need to know What went wrong? When I was young I was so kind now I don't pay any mind to anyone who isn't me but you don't work that way how could I try to explain? I picked myself up from the gutter but you were the one to pay the tab and drive me home heaven only knows what you still see in me to keep on coming back what went wrong? heaven only knows what went wrong with me

Moving On 04:34
lyrics
buy track
How long must I go on pretending That I belong to this physical world Tell me just how long must I wait Before I get the green light to disappear To walk away To move on I know there’s a place for me somewhere I’m well aware of the ones that I love Still, I know when I’m gone Their world will keep on spinning Without me Think it’s time to move on Just a matter of time Said all my goodbyes In my secret way Without reservation It’s with sorrow and with love That I take off these gloves And surrender How long is the term of a lifetime How many roads must a soul travel down How long til it’s free To lay down in the valley And sleep Think it’s time to move on How long must I wait When I know nothing’s gonna change This feeling Think it’s time to move on

One More 05:38
lyrics
buy track
Please don't remind me I spend my days denying everything I was before the moment I was nothing They'll come to find me wrapped in some blanket by the tape machine talking to myself about the Beatles in my mother's wedding gown and veil what would my father say? it'd fall on deaf ears anyway but I suppose I'll stay for one more goodbye The queen of diamonds lives on an island in my fantasy where every word, half spoken falls like poetry but I'm no sailor more like a jailer to my memories I keep the key tucked neatly in my boot and what would Jesus say? he knows enough to keep away but I can't help but stay for one more goodbye
