There's no sunshine This impossible year Only black days and sky gray And clouds full of fear And storms full of sorrow That won't disappear Just typhoons and monsoons This impossible year There's no good times This impossible year Just a beachfront of bad blood And a coast that's unclear All the guests at the party They're so insincere They just intrude and exclude This impossible year There's no you and me This impossible year Only heartache and heartbreak And gin made of tears The bitter pill I swallow The scars souvenir That tattoo, your last bruise This impossible year There's never air to breathe There's never in-betweens These nightmares always hang on past the dream There's no sunshine There's no you and me There's no good times This impossible year

Manhattan 04:47
You can have Manhattan I know it’s for the best I’ll gather up the avenues And leave them on your doorstep I’ll tip toe away So you won’t have to say You heard me leave You can have Manhattan I know it’s what you want The bustle and the buildings The weather in the fall And I’ll bow out of place To save you some space For somebody new You can have Manhattan 'Cause I can’t have you Oh You can have Manhattan The one we used to share The one where we were laughing And drunk on just being there Hang onto the reverie Could you do that for me? 'Cause I’m just too sad to You can have Manhattan 'Cause I can't have you And so it goes One foot after the other 'Til black and white begin to color in And I know That holding us in place Is simply fear of what’s already changed You can have Manhattan I’ll settle for the beach And sunsets facing westward With sand beneath my feet I’ll wish this away This missing the days When I was one half of two You can have Manhattan 'Cause I can’t have you Oh

This looks familiar Vaguely familiar Almost unreal yet It's too soon to feel yet Close to my soul And yet so far away I'm going to go back there Someday Sunrises, night falls Sometimes the sky calls Is that a song there And do I belong there I've never been there But I know the way I'm going to go back there Someday Come and go with me It's more fun to share We'll both be, completely At home in midair We're flying not walking On featherless wings We can hold on to love Like invisible strings There's not a word yet For old friends who've just met Part heaven, part space Or have I found my place You can just visit But I plan to stay I'm going to go back there Someday I'm going to go back there Someday

As You Are 04:26
Your voice I heard speak softly In love it always will My only hope is holding still Your touch I felt so closely Both leading, both give in And with one move you moved again If there's just one forever I'd want to spend it where you are To have it back I'd take it Replay it day for day For just one look, one pause, one sway. If this should pull one under It wouldn't change a word at all. Not every crack means thunder And we could choose to land so far Still this boat ain't built for weather Rocking slowly down she goes There's nothing I've known better Than the pull of tides of storms I leave you safe at home With tired eyes, and worn out faces Darling, I still see you as you are With tired eyes, and worn out faces Darling, I still see you as you are

When somebody loved me Everything was beautiful Every hour we spent together Lives within my heart And when she was sad I was there to dry her tears And when she was happy, so was I When she loved me Through the summer and the fall We had each other, that was all Just she and I together Like it was meant to be And when she was lonely I was there to comfort her And I knew that she loved me So the years went by I stayed the same But she began to drift away I was left alone Still, I waited for the day When she'd say, "I will always love you" Lonely and forgotten Never thought she'd look my way And she smiled at me and held me Just like she used to do Like she loved me When she loved me When somebody loved me Everything was beautiful Every hour we spent together Lives within my heart When she loved me
