Out Of My Hands
Today my eyes went blind
I waved my will goodbye
My body moved
Like I was one thousand miles
Underneath the ocean
I went and looked in the mirror
Until my sight began to clear
All I could see was just me
Looking back
And it bored me
There was rain on the window
I heard it on the street
Rush hour traffic sounded heavy
Heard the woman downstairs
Turn on her light
So should I
But I let the day die
(It's out of my hands)
Today I wasted time
While I mislaid my mind
My body moved
Like I was wandering round
In my sleep
There was rain on the window
I saw it on the street
Saw the lights in other windows
Heard the woman downstairs
Walk out in the night
So should I
But I'll just stay here awhile
(It's out of my hands)

Firefly
Here's to the girl
With the smile like the dew
On the leaves
Of a midsummer garden
Here's to you life
And the love
That persists
Even when your time is passing
Here's to your spirit
Wherever you go
You won't walk in the shadow
You once showed me a picture
Of yourself when you were young
A tender girl
With a head full of fire
Where did you go to
When you finally closed your eyes
On this world
That made you so tired
I'll sing for your spirit
Wherever you go
You won't walk in the shadow

Nobody Tells On You
And on the day we meet again
I am surprised to find
You are as thin as a hollow reed
The wind blows through your eyes
I see where leaving me
Caused you pain
Although I'd never believed
And nobody told on you
The common language we once spoke
Divided each to each
Yours is a northern dialect
While I use southern speech
With no place to run to
You find a place to hide
Where nobody tells on you
Look away - You looked away
And turned your footsteps to the night
I was burned and I was blind
I'd stayed too long in the light
And I suppose you're happy now
And so I wish you well
And lines that no longer intersect
At least lie parallel
And things that I don't need to know
I know you'll never tell
And nobody tells on you

Will It All Change
Have you ever got the feeling
That you've been here before
That you've walked by
An open door
Have you ever had the impulse
To just up and run away
On a sad and rainy day
Am I crazy or feeling strange
If the wind blows the other way
Will it all change
In my dream the other night
I was on the mountain side
I was supposed to reach the top
I was not allowed to stop
I went cold with fear
And my whole body
Began to shake
I opened my eyes before I was awake
Am I crazy or feeling strange
If the wind blows the other way
Will it all change

Houses Made Of Wood
When you're born to houses made of wood
And you live in streets of stone
Your heart sometimes sets sail at night
For the old colonial home
The ties of blood will guide you
Into the harbour
Like a lighthouse shining
Over on the other side
Houses made of wood
Houses made of wood
Houses made of wood
Inside my house I felt it breathe
Blood ran through wire veins
I heard its heartbeat late at night
The wind shook the window panes
Each day when I awake
I wonder where I am
My mind holds memories
Like footprints in the snow
Houses made of wood
Houses made of wood
Houses made of wood
