Strange evening
1. After All
Cry in the arms of a widow
Steal in the arms of a thief
Fight in the arms of a soldier
Pray in the arms of a priest
Hope in the arms of a dreamer
Forget in the arms of the old
Regret in the arms of a sinner
But never give into the cold
Then sleep in the wonder of silence
Innocence always recalls
Under the bed sheets, a naked
Life that has lived after all
Don't long for a breeze while you're waiting
For faces to show in the sun
The miles you have walked are behind you
But there might be still more to come
Don't run for the shade
Or the waters
That lie on that side road you'll find
When doubt has convinced you the jewels
Are those things you wish were undone
Know all the wonders when evening
Comes and you’re sleeping alone
The whisper of angels reminding
There’s always a right in the wrong
Know surrender, in the beating
Heart that you own
Wake in all its known desires
And sleep alone
So when you are lying with angels
Or when you are praised by your love
Know there's a difference at nighttime
When all else around you is gone
If closing the eyelids brings nothing
When longing for heavens to come
Know nothing compares to an angel’s
Embrace and the one you’ve become
Sleep in the wonder of silence
2. Driving
I like driving
Darling I like driving
I left my shoe in a closet somewhere
You wonder how I'll walk from here
But there's a way
I got to your hood
In the first place
I left my head in a willow tree
Outside the house you were showing me
That night we met
I remember your face
And the strange taste
You left in my dreams
Where my mind had been
Making excuses
For what it’d seen
But madam X
Didn't leave out the next
Sight she saw
It was a closed door
So I picked up my purse
And the one shoe I had
The rest of the pride
The bank said I had
I picked up the pain
And carried some stains
God it hurt to be barefoot
Darling
I like driving
Darling I like driving
With the naked boys
But I'd be down on the floor
Wouldn't laugh no more
I wouldn't think a thought
3. Girl next door
There’s a girl next door
That I’m liking more
Cause she leaves
When she’s had enough
To be bored is tough
And she won’t
Pretend she’s having fun
Instead she’s sneaking out
But you won’t see her run
She just collects her things quietly
That girl next door
She can hit the floor
Like nobody else
She swears and drinks
And her husband thinks
It’s way too much
But she couldn’t care less
She’s a queen without a dress
She sure is having fun
Until she leaves the party quietly
She’ll never say goodnight
She won’t turn out the lights
When she’s had her fun
She just leaves the party quietly
4. Innocent Thief
Sunlight shines
Gentle away
Cause daytime can show
What nobody knows
You still care for him
And want him to stay
He’s sleeping beside you now
Finally you touch
Gently and enough
Fingers run through his hair
You’re taking everything
And store it far within
This is the life of an innocent thief at night
He can’t turn back time
And have it undone
And you can’t say
He’s forgiven anyway
You still care for him
Want him to stay
It’s dark and love is everywhere
(You steal a kiss he’ll never miss)
It’s dark and he’s still here
You know you still care
He’s sleeping beside you now
Finally you touch
Gently and enough
Fingers run through his hair
You’re taking everything
And store it far within
This is the life of an innocent thief at night
5. Mina’s dream
Mina’s deep asleep now
A life’s about to start
Mina’s in a dream now
The day will fall apart
Pray she won’t remember
That she’ll forget by the time the
Sun rises
Mina’s deep asleep now
Hear Mina’s song tonight
The soundtrack to a story
Where shadows cast too bright
Pray she won’t remember
That she’ll forget by the time the
Sun rises
6. Never Been To Paris
I don’t wanna see my Paris go
Someone telling stories told me so
Bathing in the streetlights of a city I don’t know
I’ve never been to Paris, but I know
I don’t wanna see that city go
The truth is that I lost it long ago
I nailed my face onto a picture taken by my love
On a sunny day long time ago
I don’t wanna go to Paris
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go to Paris
Cause I don’t wanna see my baby go
Darling do you know I’ve never known
How to say goodbye all on my own
I do remember lips around the letters of a word
Spoken way too softly to be heard
The sky was blue in Paris on that day
That is what you told me anyway
What I said and what you heard might be the very same
But I still check the train to go to Spain
I don’t wanna go to Paris
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go to Paris
Cause I don’t wanna see my baby go
I don’t wanna see that city go
The truth is that I lost it long ago
7. Same kind
Who’s this someone sitting next to me in this house
With the same kind of cup in his hands like me
Here we are again
Drinking each others lack of confidence
Not realizing we were never meant
Collecting this kind of porcelain for years
It’s all unspoken, well we never had the words
Sweet silence, bitter turned
I’m looking down into my silver spoon
The only mirror that is in this room
The silence keeps us both alive
That’s what we like to think at night
Before we try to close our eyes
Who’s this someone laying next to me at night
With the same kind of shade in his eyes like me
Here we are again
Drinking each others lack of confidence
Not realizing we were never meant
Sweet silence bitter turned
I’m looking down into my silver spoon
The only mirror that is in this room
The silence keeps us both alive
That’s what we like to think at night
Before we try to close our eyes
Sweet silence bitter turned
I’m looking down into my silver spoon
The only mirror that is in this room
8. September/Gift of evening
f I could find the heartbeat in this song
I didn't have to doubt, I may be wrong
To think I can predict the coming season
As I lay down awoken now
Summer has been over for some time
I didn't even know it said goodbye
But it has given notes, it’s not a secret
I always sent today away
I'm walking barefoot
With a broken rod
My weak and weary light
A storm put out
And you are coming as
A gift of evening
September gives no days of shining bright
It dies like wind through leaves that never fight
And all the debt of life is on my shoulders
It’s autumn night in all its might
Still day is all around me in a show
With notice to the night I've got to go
My heart well hid in ice but still protected
Like hidden hope of rose in snow
I'm walking barefoot
With a broken rod
My weak and weary light
A storm put out
And you are coming as
A gift of evening
But morning light is reaching to my chin
And I see wings of sunlight take me in
And I do dare to hope like spring in autumn
The hands of cold can’t kill a soul
I'm walking barefoot
With a broken rod
My weak and weary light
A storm put out
You are coming as
A gift of evening
9. Strange evening
It’s a strange, strange evening tonight
And we don’t fight
There’s no more trouble in sight
We are lovers tonight
Love light shines from our eyes
And we can’t tell
Who lit the fire of life;
There’s more than desire tonight
Dance with me love
Slow tonight
Like we’ve never danced before
If you don’t give up and I don’t stop
Maybe we can dance for life
Now we are tones in a life
All strings sing
It’s not up to us to decide
What the strings of the violin bring
One step at a time
This we’ve never done
I know the music in your arms
Dance with me love
Slow tonight
Like we’ve never danced before
If you don’t give up and I don’t stop
Maybe we can dance for life
It’s a strange, strange evening tonight
And we can’t tell
Who lit the fire of life
There’s more than desire tonight
There’s more than desire tonight
