Sometimes/More Times

I’m sometimes good and more times trouble
My life is never what it seems
My heart is somewhere in the rubble
Of thwarted plans and faded dreams
I don’t believe I’ve ever been unafraid
Serenity came but never stayed
The fires are burning, my thoughts are churning
Sometimes, more times
The threads are unwinding, the ties are unbinding
Sometimes, more times
I’ve always been lost
No-one to rely on, no shoulder to cry on
Sometimes, more times
I’m sometimes sad and more times sadder
The longings start but never stop
My heart is somewhere on the ladder
Between the bottom and the top
I wander through the doorway, life sets me free
I open my eyes and I’m still me
The fires are burning, my thoughts are churning
Sometimes, more times
The threads are unwinding, the ties are unbinding
Sometimes, more times
I’ve always been lost
No-one to rely on, no shoulder to cry on
Sometimes, more times
There’s sometimes words to say
But they more times turn to dust
When my fractured mind’s at play
And there’s nothing left to trust

Two rivers flow to the sea, they flow too fast for you and me
Two highways, make your choice, two songs to sing but only one voice
And I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying
I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying
Four people, best of friends, four people faithful ’til the end
Two people there to see, two people always somewhere else to be
And I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying
I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying
A world on its knees, no place for you and me in a universe of total strangers
To pay the boatman’s price, the truth is sacrificed by a world that doesn’t see the dangers
Two endings not quite written yet, one line too easy to forget
Two chances, give the coin a spin, two runners race but only one can win
And I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying
I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying
And I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying
I’m not crying, ‘cos it’s not lying
(A face turned in on itself sees only what it shows to itself. Beguiled, it believes the image it beholds. Without integrity, there is no dignity. Strive to look outward, for only then will you see the truth, reflected in how others see you)

If I knew all the answers when you asked me the question well I would have told you
If I knew all the angles when you asked for the picture well I would have showed you
You needn’t ask twice
Just once will suffice
(That’s enough)
Well I went to the bathroom and I looked in the mirror and I saw a stranger
Well I went to the doctor and I looked at the x-ray and I saw the danger
I’m struggling to sleep
More secrets to keep
(It’s a bluff)
Then (driving) home tonight I see you
And I (wonder) how I’m gonna meet you
Because you and I have to meet tonight
If it sounds alright
If I tried to be bashful and I asked for your number what would be the answer
If I tried to be clever would you see through the bluster I’m no great romancer
I’d ask for a date
Somewhere say at eight
(Or seven)
Then (driving) home tonight I see you
And I (wonder) how I’m gonna meet you
Because you and I have to meet tonight
If it sounds alright
I guess there’s no way
You would ever stay
Never thought to believe that I could be what you wanted nothing lasts for ever
Never thought to be hopeful I just told you the stories and we’re still together
Then (driving) home tonight I see you
And I (wonder) how I’m gonna meet you
Because you and I have to meet tonight
If it sounds alright
