The Back Room 04:04
lyrics

All in the morning you have been mourning Mourning the offspring who may not be born And in the back room where no one can hear you You sing the sad tune for those never scorned Oh, and the world - it just keeps on turning Oh, and the fears in our hearts - they just keep on burning Oh, and the tide - it may just keep rising Oh, and the sun today - it may still yet burn these eyes in. All in the evening, breathing your deeds in How you'll never see him alive anymore Calmness and silence, stillness but violence Haunting despite this new-closen door. Oh, and the world - it just keeps on turning Oh, and the fears in our hearts - they just keep on burning Oh, and the tide - it may just keep rising Oh, and the sun today - it may still yet burn these eyes in. All in the morning you have been mourning Mourning the offspring who may not be born And in the back room where no one can hear you You sing the sad tune for those never scorned

I see the light come through the door I feel for warmth and want it more and more and more Cause I felt dark and it’s a bore I want the sound of life here running on the floor The sun was out, I wasn’t there I slept and slept and slept for years and years and years But now i’m up and now I’m here I’m coming out to find the music of the spheres.

An Easy Song 02:36
lyrics

If you'd like an easy song to sing in key of G A steady string will pluck and ring Come harmonize with me Well, if you please Oh, won't you please? If you'd like a simple day to come and catch the breeze The steady sun, some simple fun Come run away with me Well, if you please Oh, won't you please?

lyrics

Yes, I saw her in the dream. Her eyes so lovely, so serene. He's got nothing left to give to me My God, I saw the dream. I saw the starry sky tonight. Those endless fireballs of light... But none of them make my heart so bright As the vision of your sight And then I dreamt she sang a song She sat and sang the whole night long Oh, and nothing else could ever go wrong While my dream girl sings her song
