Beginnings

Mmmmm
We're sliding through
Completely new
Beginnings
We're searching out
Our every doubt
We're winning

We want to be free
Yet we have no idea
Why we are struggling here
Faced with our every fear
Just to survive

We've heard the sound
And come around
To listening
We've touched the vine
Time after time
Insisting

We know what life brings
Still we can find a way
From dues we've got to pay
We hope we'll somehow say
That we're alive

We're sliding through
Completely new
Beginnings

We're searching
Our every doubt
And winning
We want to be free
Yet we have no idea
Why we are struggling here
Faced with our every fear
Just to survive
Completely new
Beginnings

Where Did The Night Go

  

Long ago the clock washed midnight away

Bringing the dawn

Oh God, I must be dreaming

Time to get up again

And time to start up again

Pulling on my socks again

Should have been asleep

When I was sitting there drinking beer

And trying to start another letter to you

Don't know how many times I dreamed to write again last night

Should've been asleep when I turned the stack of records over and over

So I wouldn't be up by myself

Where did the night go?

Should go to sleep now

And say fuck a job and money

Because I spend it all on unlined paper and can't get past

"Dear baby, how are you?"

Brush my teeth and shave

Look outside, sky is dark

Think it may rain

Where did
