ZRH 03:37
Sunrise Airport size If only the view Could smile back at you You’ve just landed A little drained but looking good Nothing or no one Will disturb the clean lines of your suit You’ve got modestly packed carryons You’ve got your anonymous face on And while you’re here You could be anyone Chorus You could be You could be You could be anyone And that’s the way you like it Nobody knows you Nobody knows you In Zurich Verse You’ve got nothing To declare Just the choices you’ve made Caught between lovers Who must leave But who must remain You’ve got modestly packed carryons You’ve got your anonymous face on And while you’re here You could be anyone Chorus
2.
The End Away 04:58
For you and me New York fell somewhere between Philadelphia and fascination But for weekends at a time We would banish from our minds Any thought we had of letting go But why? Chorus A lovers knot tied seaside at sunset Was tied in vain Just like little boys throwing stones At a passing train Nothing we could say Could keep the end away And if I could I would have ruled this stupid world And given your eyes the green that they were aching for And if I could Have back one moment my love I would certainly take us back My love my love my love Chorus Bridge Taxis speed down Broadway No more lanes to spare On the night you leave Rain washes the thoroughfare All these years have come and gone I feel it now more than ever It’s in the skin its in the song Was it love or just desire? Chorus
3.
I spend
 Half my weekend Doing laundry And the other half Calling your bluff All week long
 You sing a terribly tired song
 As you roll the ball on up the hill Only to watch it fall and spill down again
 Oh oh down again All the trains 
Homebound are broken down
 And all my words cling to your worry And you worry ‘bout every sound Every sound 
In this nowhere town Chorus 
And the whiskey goes down so smooth Then you’re twice removed
 Now where’d you put your savior ‘cause this can’t wait til later 
Its no good
 This life made of rotting wood
 I won’t bake your cake and eat it too So don’t belittle our battle of Waterloo Waterloo 
Do you know the way to blue? Lies all lies
 You know we’re not doin fine
 You can fake your way through every day As you leave me here to cry
 Here to cry
 You leave me to cry Chorus
 But you’ll find that life’s resigned And so will I
 Now where’d you put your savior ‘cause this can’t wait til later I spend half my weekend doing laundry And the other half calling your bluff It’s only that I care to send the very best That a black eye may not be enough So please shut your mouth
 Weather this winter or just go south Please shut your mouth Weather this winter
 Or just go south
 Just go south And you’ll find that life’s resigned And so will I
 Now where’d you put your savior Cause this can’t wait to later And don’t try to hide behind The New York Times Sunday morning paper Cause this can’t wait til later
4.
The bomb you dropped Has left a lasting impression 6 ft deep in the floor of my living room If you come back I swear I’ll make it a swimming pool Where we can float and forget All night long The last time Should have been the last time But the bombs keep dropping everyday Yeah the bombs keep dropping everyday And every passerby recalls another city full of memories The bombs keep dropping everyday And I can’t figure out Just what these bombs are tryin to say to me Chorus Ohhh the bomb you dropped The bomb you dropped Filled the sky full of nighttime And pink sleepy dreams came to visit me I dreamt of a day Soldiers escaped the battlefields And then they kissed and made their way home The last time Should have been the last time But the bombs keep dropping everyday Yeah the bombs keep dropping everyday The life I knew is gone And never ever coming back to me The bombs keep dropping everyday Cause what you do and what you say Is never the same anyway Chorus
5.
After 03:09
After We shower We sit open mouthed and wonder To ourselves But not to each other After I catch a glimpse of your face in the dark It’ll stay with me Long after this time is gone Chorus And we’ll smile Sad little smiles Because we know what we’ve lost We broke the homes that cost So much to build After The laughter Our voices get so much lower For fear of waking God knows who After The rain is still the rain But it’s sweeter now Than it’s ever been before Or will be again Chorus
6.
Fast asleep on a bed of nails Dreaming up the tallest tales You can tell, you can sell To the congregation 
 Words fell down and scattered fast Promises were a thing of the past Getting by, doing fine Was everything that mattered, oh oh Chorus Had you been properly wrecked by John Had you jumped in eyes closed and headlong 
 You might have seen sights that the bible could have never shown you 
You might have seen other worlds other than the one you knew Had you been properly wrecked by John You took your crosses and crutches and took your vows 
 But you left your baby in the lost and found And you’re still no better than when you started 
`cause you know you left so much undone Like the holes in the walls where your pictures hung 
 All the places the faces are just souvenirs Chorus I remember someone I used to like Not a lot, but enough to remember Someone sweet and kind Someone willing to try To make a go with someone sweet and kind who was willing to try
7.
So many nails were just waiting To seal the coffin on our laughing Looking back the shadows were closer than I thought Now to think of all the flowers I should have bought Chorus Why couldn’t the perfect words save us Why couldn’t the perfect words save us They were there all along Sleeping there in songs We never sang to each other The land Does it ever stop stretching Around me and ever rising The tide threatens but never does me in If I had my way, you know id have us back again Chorus Those warnings From your mother Went in one ear And out the other All these perfect words we say Couldn’t keep the end away No no Chorus
8.
Yellow and blue Like so many fears that swirled in you And I turned away in tears Helpless and sad So sad but true Yellow and blue From yellow to blue I missed my chance To get through to you That all what we had isn’t lost If your heart is true If your heart stays true Yellow and blue Chorus Look up at the sky tonight Do you see that garland of stars The constellations of heartbreak That knowing deep in my heart That you’ll always be that far That you’ll always be that far Yellow and blue Those were the colors Of days without you Everyday pretty But so scared of nightfall So scared of you Yellow and blue From yellow to blue I missed my chance To get through to you That all of life isn’t lost If your heart is true If your heart stays true Yellow and blue Chorus Look up at the sky tonight And you remember all we were The constellations of happiness The feeling that we’d always Be right where we are The feeling that we’d always Be right where we are Yellow and blue
9.
I woke up But it’s not time I couldn’t sleep for Drowning in the night But you’re so still So long and supine You never ever stir As you go swimming through the night And I hear every sound and see The ghosts of lives yet to be I hear every sound and see Ghosts that look just like you and me Chorus And the wind blows through Blows through And the wind blows through Your still empty rooms I’ve no more time To what the night I should be flying Like doves into the twilight But I worry so About words unspoken And though I have your heart Sometimes it feels like Nothing more than a token Chorus Sometimes I can’t even find the words Like running away in dreams I’m always slower than I need to be And sometimes I’ll breathe your name in the dark As desperate as a last chance can be They’re lost to every melody
