Green Eyes 03:39
ooh can you take it take your green eyes and you turn them around my love ooh will you make it make a new world to dwell upon my love we lost our way in the fading light you can only stumble so far till you can't see the point and so i left you there in the dark you better make your own way now so this is not goodbye i'll look out for you like i always have and i always will but i can't be your knight in shining armour anymore better make your own way now yeah i broke your heart don't make me break it again

no-one to blame but yourself the only question is what will you do now your misanthropic misadventures are coming back to haunt you hear the bitter voice inside your head but you don't have to listen to it regrets like spiders in your bed but you can't give in to it so this is your longest night sometimes you can't escape the pain that comes around and brings you down oh-oh it's just a part of life and i'll be there to take the strain and see you through and see you through your longest night again no-one to blame but yourself and the feelings inside you're sick and tired of waiting for the answers when the answer long since died no-one to blame but myself i can't escape the web i spun your longest night is over and mine has just begun

Survive You 03:50
i don't wanna be the one to say that it's gone too long i've played this game too many times not to know when things are wrong there's no point praying for blue skies when all around you falls the rain we'll watch the sky together until the sun comes out again so forget all the doubts that waylay you and all the secret thoughts that betray you you know i could never deny you but i don't want to have to survive you don't wanna spend my life this way singing lonely songs i've seen the truth too many times and now i know that i was wrong while you're saying your goodbyes i wish that we could slip away and watch the sky together until the sun comes out again don't wanna live my life this way don't wanna play this game again don't wanna hear the things you said hanging on my wearied brain don't wanna live another lie don't wanna lose you from my side don't wanna let this thing just die

Didn't Know 04:03
down by the wayside near the sea an omnipotent duck is watching over me and the sailors come and the sailors go and the tide is rising rising slow now the child is wond'ring what to be and that duck's still watching over me you can't reap what you didn't sow and you can't tell me that you didn't know down by the wayside near the sea my true love sits and waits for me and the fisherman rows on the river alone now the storm is battering the quay but my love still holds a lamp for me you can't hide what you didn't show and you can't tell me that you didn't know down by the wayside near the sea the devil's curse takes a hold on me you always hurt the ones you love the most if you're by the wayside near the sea take a minute out and sit by me i know where the bad folk go and times i wish that i didn't know

The Garden 03:56
seasons come and seasons go their passing marks the time that's washing over me and in their ceaseless ebb and flow i cast out all my lines out into the sea reeling in and i discover the mess of tangled wires that entwine my memory wading through the hidden patterns i know i'll see in time the path ahead of me in your garden bursts of colour are surrounding me dazzled by these things that bring you close to me and all my darkest recollections are besieging me so promise me you'll wait, you'll wait for me people come and people go yeah there's no guiding star to shine over me amidst all the confusion you show the way you feel for me so if you're coming to my rescue don't let me drift too far now i've finally dropped anchor i see the life that waits for me and i never want to go back, back into that sea so promise me you'll wait - you'll wait for me yeah, promise me you'll wait - you'll wait for me
