Music – text of songs

Welcome back, Winter once again,
And put on your warm fuzzy sweater,
Cuz you’ll feel much better when

The snowflakes fall, gently to the ground,
The temperature drops, and your shivers freeze all the rivers around,
But I keep you warm

If speed’s a pro,
Inertia must be a con,
Cuz the cold wind blows at precise rates,
When I’ve got my ice skates on

If all the roads,
Were paved with ice that wouldn’t thaw or crack,
I could skate from Maine to Nebraska,
Then on to Alaska and back,
Cuz you keep me warm

Peer over the edge,
Can you see me?,
Rivulets flow from your eyes,
Paint runs from your mouth,
Like a waterfall,
And your lungs crystalize

I’ll travel the sub-zero tundra,
I’ll brave glaciers and frozen lakes,
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg,
I’ll do whatever it takes,
To change

Farewell powdery paradise,
We’d rather skate on the finished ice,
Fingers failed us before they froze,
Frostbite bit down on all our toes

Snow drifts build up and enfold us,
As we wait out this winter storm,
So we snuggle close in the darkness,
And keep each other so warm.

Breathe and I’ll carry you away into the velvet sky
And we’ll stir the stars around
And watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay
And plummet out of sight and sound
The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
Where I live in the alpine heights
Below the Northern Lights, I spend my coldest nights
Alone, awake and thinking of… the weekend we were in love

Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
A thousand miles from the tide
But photos on the walls of New York shopping malls
Distract me so I stay inside
I wish the rockets stayed over the promenade
Cuz I would make a hook and eye
And fish them from the sky, my darling, she and I
We’re hanging on so take us high
To sing the world goodbye …

I am floating away
Lost in a silent ballet
I’m dreaming you’re out in the blue and I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades
Still photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we’re both on the wing, look down and keep on singing!
And we can go anywhere

Are you there?
Are you there, or are you just a decoy dream in my head?

I can finally see that You’re right there beside me
I am not my own, for I have been made new
Please don’t let me go I desperately need You

I am not my own, for I have been made new
Please don’t let me go I desperately need You.

I brush my teeth and look in the mirror
And laugh out loud as I’m beaming from ear to ear
I’d rather pick flowers instead of fights
And rather than flaunt my style
I’d flash you a smile of clean pearly whites

I’ve been to the dentist a thousand times
So I know the drill
I smooth my hair
Sit back in the chair
But somehow I still get the chills

\”Have a seat,\” he says pleasantly
As he shakes my hand and practically laughs at me
\”Open up nice and wide,\” he says peering in
And with a smirk he says \”don’t have a fit,
this’ll just pinch a bit,\” as he tries not to grin

When hygienist leave on long vacations
That’s when dentists scream and lose their patience
Talking only brings the toothaches on
Because I say the stupidest things
So if my result goes south
I’ll swallow my pride with an Aspirin
And shut my mouth

Golf and alcohol don’t mix
And that’s why I don’t drink and drive
Because good grief, I’d knock out my teeth
And have to kiss my smile goodbye

I’ve been to the dentist a thousand times
So I know the drill
I smooth my hair
Sit back in the chair
But somehow I still get the chills.

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren’t there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground
All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue: farewell
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

Time together is just never quite enough
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
We need time, only time
When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
All the time, all the time

Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on?
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lights
I guess I’ll never know why sparrows love the snow
We’ll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow.

Stands and gears, oh how the daisies bloom
When chandeliers light up the engine room
Can you feel the drops as it starts to rain
There’s an underwater Ferris wheel where I found the missing link to this island chain

Home will always be here, unseen, outta sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I’m waving goodbye
So I’ll spread out my wings and fly

Home is a boxcar and it’s so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach

Home will always be here, unseen, outta sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I’m waving goodbye
So I’ll spread out my wings and fly

I’ll spread my wings and fly

Home is a boxcar and it’s so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach.

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
And awake in your house

Hello Seattle, I am a manta ray
Deep beneath the blue waves
I’ll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
And construct a summer home

Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
Shining down on your face
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
And descend inside of you

Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse
Feeling warm in your sand
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
Rolling in the evening breeze

Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
On the docks and your boats
I sail above your inlets and interstates
Through the rain and open wind

Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse
Throwing beams of bright lights
Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
Taking heed for everyone

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots

Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight

Take me above your light (Hello Seattle, I am)
Carry me though the night (a mountaineer, in the hills)
Hold me secure in flight (And highlands, I fall asleep in hospital)
Sing me to sleep tonight (Parking lots, and awake in your house).

If you’re the bird
Whenever we pretend it’s summer
Then I’m the worm
I know the part, it’s such a bummer

But fair is fair
If my segments get seperated
I’ll scream
And you’ll be there

Close your eyes
(Close my eyes)
So I’d be caught and off of your shoulder
And feel the shine
(Feel the shine)
I’m hooked so toss me over
And cast a line
(Well I’ll try)
I’ll throw a party and greet my undersea friends
(It depends)
As they arrive
(If they arrive)

You and I left our troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With friends like these well,
Who needs enemies?

If I’m your boy
Let’s take a shortcut we remember
And we’ll enjoy
Picking apples in late september like
We’ve done for years
Then we’ll take a long walk
Through the cornfield
And I’ll kiss you
Between the ears

If you’re my girl
Swirl me around your room with feeling
And as we twirl
The glow in the dark stars on your ceiling
Will shine for us
As love sweeps over the room
Cuz we tend to make
Each other blush

You and I left our troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With fronds like these well,
Who needs anemones?

You’re the bird, I’m the worm
And it’s plain to see
That we were meant to be

We were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be.

Please take a long hard look through your text book
‘Cause I’m history
When I strap my helmet on I’ll be long gone
‘Cause I’ve been dying to leave
Yeah, I’ll ride the range and hide all my loose change
In my bedroom
‘Cause riding a dirtbike down a turnpike
Always takes its toll on me

I’ve had just about enough
Of quote, “diamonds in the rough”
Because my backbone is paper thin
Get me out of this cavern
Or I’ll cave in

If the bombs go off
The sun will still be shining
Because we’ve heard it said that every mushroom cloud
Has a silver lining
(though I’m always undermining too deep to know)
Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
‘Cause the road tastes like wintergreen
The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane
Mixed with stale gasoline
I’ll soak up the sound trying to sleep on the wet ground
I’ll get ten minutes give-or-take
‘Cause I just don’t forsee myself getting drowsy
When cold integrity keeps me wide awake

Get me out of this cavern
Or I’ll cave in

I’ll keep my helmet on just in case my head caves in
‘Cause if my thoughts collapse or my framework snaps
It’ll make a mess like you wouldn’t believe
Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track
And if my intentions stray I’ll wrench them away
Then I’ll take my leave and I won’t even look back

I won’t even look back.
