Impossible Year

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

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

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 She Loved Me
04:15

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
