I want you to be my love
I want you to be my love
'Neath the moon and the stars above
I want you to be my love
I want you to know me now
I want you to know me now
Break a promise make a vow
I know you want me now
Like I want you
Like I want you
I want you to be my love
I want you to be my love
'Neath the moon and the stars above
I want you to be my love
'Cause I want you
'Cause I want you
I know all you--
All you've been through

I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
Pour me a glass of wine
Talk deep into the night
Who knows what we'll find
Intuition, déjà vu
The Holy Ghost haunting you
Whatever you got
I don't mind
I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
Put your elbows on the table
I'll listen long as I am able
There's nowhere I'd rather be
Secret fears, the supernatural
Thank God for this new laughter
Thank God the joke's on me
'Cause I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
We've seen the landfill rainbow
We've seen the junkyard of love
Baby it's no place for you and me
I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
I was born to laugh (Pour me a glass of wine)
(Talk deep into the night) I learned to laugh through my tears (Who knows what we'll find)
I was born to love (Put your elbows on the table)
(I'll listen long as I am able) I'm gonna learn to love without fear (Whatever you got, I don't mind)
I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear

You're my water
You're my wine
You're my whiskey
From time to time
You're the hunger
On my bones
All the nights
I sleep alone
Sweet intoxication
When your words
Wash over me
Whether or not
Your lips move
You speak to me
Like an ocean
Without waves
You're the movement
That I crave
And in that motion
I long to drown
And be lost not to be found
You're my water
You're my wine
You're my whiskey
From time to time
. . .

I cry just a little bit
Just a little bit
Everyday
Get by just a little bit
Just a little bit
That way
I know, I know
I should have known
Bluer
Than the blue devils
Bluer than this pale blue angel
Bluer than all of my troubles
Love is never far from danger
I die just a little bit
Just a little bit
Everyday
Get by just a little bit
Just a little bit
That way
Let go, let go
Now that you've gone
Bluer
Than the blue devils
Bluer than this pale blue angel
Bluer than all of my troubles
Are we gonna leave here strangers
Bluer
Than the blue devils
Bluer than this pale blue angel
Bluer than all of my troubles
Love is never far from danger
Bluer
Than the blue devils
Bluer than this pale blue angel
Bluer than all of my troubles
Are we gonna leave
Are we gonna leave here strangers
. . .

It's not the spark that caused the fire
It was the air you breathed that fanned the flame
What you think you'll solve with violence
Will only spread like a disease
Until it all comes 'round again
Was John the only dreamer?
Sleep with one ear close to the ground
And wake up screaming
When we lay our cold weapons down
We'll wake up dreaming
Obsessions with self-preservation
Faded when I threw my fear away
It's not a thing you can imagine
You either lose your fear
Or spend your life with one foot in the grave
Is God the last romantic?
Sleep with one ear close to the ground
And wake up screaming
When we lay our cold weapons down
We'll wake up dreaming
Only love can turn this around
I wake up dreaming
Everything we've lost can be found
We'll wake up dreaming
. . .

Hush now my sweet little noisy boy
There is trouble enough in the world
Pick up your feet little lazy boy
Come dance with your little girl
Spin me 'round this kitchen floor
Like a carnaval
Troubadour
I know we're only two-bit clowns
In a one-ring circus
But make me a little bit dizzy boy
Swing me on your trapeze
When I'm in the arms of my dreamy boy
It still makes me weak in the knees
Right here on this record player
Is our scratchy song
We're alone
Slide trombones like an orchestra
Full of fortune tellers
Come now my sweet little breathing boy
I'm listening hard to your heart
It's as strong as a lion's boy
Let's leave here and make a new start
I remember once you said
Lying in this bed
The past is dead
Everyday is a one-act play
Without an ending
. . .

Walking out in the freezing rain
I feel nothing 'cause I numbed the pain
I'm lookin' forward to lookin' back
On this day
Prayed last night
Dear God please no
But I was never good at letting go
I'm lookin' forward to lookin' back
On this day
Good news can be so unkind
When it's everything you have to
leave behind
I'm lookin' forward to lookin' back
On this day
In the taillights
So much hindsight
Telling me what I already know
I know
. . .

Little did I know
That I almost let you go
Until I caught a glimpse of life without you
Little did I know
How deep these roots had grown
Until I felt the earth quake here without you
And this ache is gonna break me love
Until you come back home
Right or wrong
There is no home without you
And these eyes are never gonna dry
I never knew how I could cry
Until I thought I'd really lost you
Little did I know that I almost let you go
Until I caught a glimpse of life without you
And this ache is gonna break me love
Until you come back home
Right or wrong
There is no home without you
And these eyes are never gonna dry
I never knew how I could cry
Until I thought I'd really lost you
Little did I know that I almost let you go
Until I caught a glimpse of life without you
. . .

You were the hand that I tried to take
You're the decision that I could not make
You're the religion that I should forsake
You were the story I tried to tell
You were the savior that tripped and fell
Beautiful dancing infidel
Who will guard the door
When I am sleeping
Who will guard the door
When I am sleeping
I'm not sleeping
You were the season that would not change
I often was the same
Then four horseman came and stole my name
Who will guard the door
When I am sleeping
Who will guard the door
When I am sleeping
I'm not sleeping
I never saw you fall apart
I never saw you work so hard
Never saw you need no one
I am my father's son
You were the hand that I tried to take
You're the decision that I could not make
You're the religion that I should forsake
Who will guard the door
When I am sleeping
Who will guard the door
When I am sleeping
I'm not sleeping
. . .

My memory will not fail me now
My memory will not fail me
My memory will not fail me now
My memory will not fail
Mmm firefly in the night sky
Only lights on the rise
And I need you so firefly
One satellite with a lazy eye
Caught me by surprise
With an ache in my belly
And a taste in my mouth for fire
My memory will not fail me now
My memory will not fail me
My memory will not fail me now
Mmm firefly in the night sky
Only lights on the rise
After the killing frost
Where do you go
Firefly
My memory will not fail me now
My memory will not fail me
My memory will not fail me now
And the rest is history
The rest is history
. . .

You're my funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Still you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay funny valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay funny valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's
Each day is Valentine's
Each day is Valentine's Day
