Minus One

Fisher Minus One歌詞
1.So Much

From the mp3 dam cd:minus one, released 12.99

He wants to
I want too much
He says he's taking his time

When i hold him
And he holds back
It hurts me that i don't mind

Chorus:
He has only so much
He can give up for me
And i have only so much
And that's not enough but
Everything is good
Everything is fine for now
La da da la da la da da

She don't cry
I don't cry
The past won't let us let go

When she holds me
And i hold back
If she minds i'll never know

I have only so much
I can give up for her
And she gives only so much
And that's not enough but
Everything's good
Everything's fine

For now
For now

We have only so much
We can give up for love
And we give only so much
And that's not enough but
Everything is good
Everything is fine
For now


2.Strangers

From the mp3 dam cd:minus one, released 12.99

Sittin' on the front porch
Wasting our abundant time
Hoping for a friendly face
To pass and smile
We would even wave
To folks we didn't recognize
Nothin' wrong with being friendly
Things have changed

Chorus:
'cause i'm remembering a time
When it was alright to smile
When our hearts were never told
To live in constant fear
The days of innocence have gone
Did they tip-toe out the door?
Only thing i know is
I don't talk to strangers anymore

Staring at my feet i
Can't afford to catch your eye
Giving you the wrong impression
'cause i know danger hides
Deep behind the kindest smile
Always question its intention
When did i change?

'cause i'm remembering a time
When it was alright to smile
When our hearts were never told
To live in constant fear
The days of innocence have gone
Did they tip-toe out the door?
Only thing i know is
I don't talk to strangers anymore


3.Edge Of The World

From the mp3 dam cd:minus one, released 12.99

At the edge of the world is a big tin wall
Put it there when i was a child
Trying to define - explain - infinity

Chorus
At the edge of the world
At the edge of the world

At the edge of the world love is dangerous
Nowhere to turn - front, side, back, around
Nowhere to fall but into the arms of infinity

At the edge of the world
At the edge of the world

Understand what you can not see
Won't you please take a picture for me?

Alone on the edge i am wandering
Trying to see over the side
Tell me, will i see you there
Dangling and reaching your hand to me?

At the edge of the world
At the edge of the world
At the edge of the world
At the edge of the world


4.Father's Father

From the mp3 dam cd:minus one, released 12.99

Are you a messenger asleep in my mind?
Are you a voice that i've left silent inside
Can you hear me now? can you hear me now?

I used to talk to you, i'd look to the sky
Search the moon, i'd ask the stars for a sign
Can you hear me now? can you hear me now?

Do you know this woman who shares your name?
Time has changed her face.
Can you see me now?
'cause i still need to believe
You're watching over me now - over me

Have you travelled to places unknown?
Is there a road that you can tell me to follow?
Tell me how i can see you once again

Do you know this woman who carries your name in her heart?
Time has changed her face..

Can you see me now?
'cause i still need to believe
You're watching over me now - over me

I could never find the words to tell you
My heart's always found it hard to say goodbye
Never say goodbye

Tell me
Oh tell me
Are you watching me?
I need you now
Can you see me here can you tell me, can you?

You're watching over me
Over me now


5.Missing

From the mp3 dam cd:minus one, released 12.99

Never knew why he would fall victim to five-dollar highs
Bending his stories, inventing new lies - telling of cancers
One way to avoid questions and answers

Chorus
And karl, he's lucky
He's learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
The most likely one to achieve
Such a high
And karl is missing tonight

What can i say to his poor father
He calls every day - looking for clues
There's no "gingerbread man" for him to follow
The candy man's come and taken his son

And karl, he's lucky
He's learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
His face in the dirt
And his friends by his side
And karl is missing tonight

Maybe i'm the one that's wrong - i misunderstood
You just wanna die young to come back and feel good
But is it worth the exchange? does it keep you from harm?
The last time i saw you ~ you clutched my arm and you wept
Like a child

And karl, he's lucky
He's learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
He's learned how to leave without saying goodbye
And karl is missing tonight
And karl is out of my life. out of my life.


6.Miss Kathleen

From the mp3 dam cd:minus one, released 12.99

Praying for silence inside your head
Now it's too quiet for thinking
Turning the lights on to fill every room
You wanted them empty
For dancing, dreaming

Did you find what you wanted
Is it all like you dreamed
Are you happier now, miss kathleen?


7.Paradise

From the mp3 dam cd:minus one, released 12.99

Danny says he sees the sky right through the ceiling
When we're lying close together on the floor
Says it comes right down and leaves him with this feeling
Always begging him to ask for something
More from life ~ more from love
More

Chorus:
He's got a dream of paradise
The perfect scheme for paradise
And i won't give up on him now
Ahhhh ahh

Danny says he always knows what i am thinking
All he has to do is listen to my mind
Says it cries all night whenever i am sleeping
Always begging me to ask for something
More from life ~ more from love
More

He's got a dream of paradise
The perfect scheme for paradise
And i won't give up on him now
Ahhhh ahh


8.Mary

From the album:true north, released 11.14.2000
Interscope records/farmclub.com

I woke up and mary was still gone
Thought if i stopped hurting she would come back
To me
Walk right through the door and say, "ahhh huhhhh!
I was only joking - didn't you look silly crying!"
But i wake up and mary is still gone

I looked at the clock and it was
Still
Lying on the floor exactly where i threw it
Both hands smashed against its silver face
My feeble attempt to stop
Time but time goes on
And i wake up and mary is still gone

Chorus:
Mary was it necessary
To leave before the party
I know it's selfish to say
You always brought the cake now
What will i eat with all these tears?

I looked at the list and saw her name
Kick myself, she never got an invitation
Kid myself, i'm sure somehow she knew
My stupid attempt to find
Some way to move on
But i wake up and mary is still gone
Mary is still gone
