Verse

You had to go to Boston
I had to watch you leave
And now I'm feeling lost and
I've forgotten how to breathe

I wonder if you're lonely
Or are you happy now?
'Cause I've been oh so lonely
And as for happy
I can't remember how

Chorus

So say, "Hello," to Boston
Then kiss it goodbye
Come meet me in Austin
For love and lullabies
I'll remember happy
And you'll remember me
The way we used to be
So say, "Hello," to Boston
Then trade Boston for me

Verse

Now here I am in Austin
Here I am getting old
I hear you're still in Boston
At least that's what I'm told

They say that you're not lonely
I'm glad you're happy now
'Cause I've been oh so lonely
And as for happy
I can't remember how

Chorus

Coda

When are you coming home?
I can't make it on my own
I didn't mean to drive you away
There's so much left to say
I'll see you someday
Maybe we don't have to
End this way

This Hurts So Much (It Must Be Love)

Verse

Staring out the window

Watching all the lonely raindrops racing

Down the glass

Far too fast

For a Sunday night such as this

Out beyond the fields I know

Are miles and miles of roads you've wandered

Down

Rolling town to town

On that rusted out old Greyhound

With that tattered book in your lap

A dream in your eyes

And the memory of a smile in your heart

Chorus

Now you're too far gone

You've been gone too long

But tonight I'm gonna saddle up and ride

'Til the break of the dawn

'Gonna saddle up and ride till I find you

and remind you again

Where you've been

Verse

Oh, this hurts so much

It must be love

You're the only one

That I can seem

To think of

Arkansas' now Tennessee

Carolina ain't too far behind

I'm already there

In my mind

All the roads ahead

Might lead me to you

Or they might lead to something

I don't wanna do

Chorus

But I've been riding all night long

Just to bring you this song

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong

But I think you belong right here with me

Don't you agree?

Bridge

Where, oh where'd you go?

And why'd you take the sun?

It's always rain now, there's no rainbow

And my new best friend is a one-sixth loaded gun

Verse

Silly girl, don't you know

Manhattan hasn't got no countryside

It's just a place where people go to

Hide from somewhere else

They have scraped the sky

And you cannot rope the wind there

Anymore

Not even from

The ninety-seventh floor

Everyone came with a dream

But all those dreams have long since

Up and died

They call it Hope-icide

You can see it on the subway

Riding home after midnight

When the broken faces hide from the light

Chorus

But I'm gonna ride all night long

Just because you might get on

Then I'll sing you this song

I'm gonna sing you this song

And we'll live happy where

The grain rolls like sea

Don't you see?

Oh, this hurts so much

It must be love

Robots

Last night I had a dream
That I couldn't dream at all
And no one would ever dream again
Fried electric screams
Chased me from the concert hall
As I ran out looking for a friend
But I found no one at all

The cold and empty streets
Reminded me of London
Late at night when all the shops are closed
The air is filled with beeps
A whirring and a humming
And the ones I pass point and they laugh
And they call me
One of those
Am I one of those?

When the robots rule the world
There will be no applause
And people will live in pods
When the robots rule the world
With titanium fists and diamond claws
Who will believe in God?
Would you still believe in God?

I had to get away
Somewhere I could catch my breath
'Cause they were chasing after me
I ducked into the subway
The bathroom reeked of death
And I could not believe that the mirror
Would make me see

I looked just like a robot
I couldn't remember God
I tried to cry for all the things I'd lost
But I could, I could not
I was a robot

That's when I woke up
In the bed where my lover kept me warm
She turned to me and said
Were you having a bad dream
Or are you just afraid of the storm?
Like a robot afraid of the storm.

Am I living like a robot?
Do I always remember God?
If I tried to cry for all the things I've lost
Could I, or could I not?

I can't remember G-G-G-G-G
I can't remember G-G-G-G-G
I can't remember doo-doo-doo
I can't remember...
I can't remember...

Call

If you find yourself broken on the floor
And you don't feel like getting up anymore
Just close your eyes
And remember this
Even angels cry

There are times I've seen life gets you down
You say friends are hard to find
But my friend, I won't let you drown
That's if you don't mind
Take my hand
And hold on tight
We'll reach dry land
Together we'll make it through the night

When I'm not around, I can hear you crying
When I'm not around, I can feel you fall
When I'm not around, I feel like I'm dying
When I'm not around, all you have to do is call
And I will come
Call, and I will come

Now you're running out of air
'Cause you've been so long alone
But I am here to carry you
So you don't sink like a stone
It's not far to go
Just a little while longer
And I don't know
But perhaps we could both be stronger

I lost myself in the October sky
The stars are things I should have told you
You know angels really shouldn't have to cry
But if you want to, I will hold you

When you're not around, you don't know I'm crying
When I'm not around, you don't feel me fall
When you're not around, you don't know I'm dying
When you're not around, maybe if I called you you'd come
But I don't know
Maybe you'd come
But I don't know

Saturn

Lights

Headlights on the highway
Are turning into stars
Through the window of this jetplane
I'm still looking for your car
I know somewhere down there
Your blue eyes are looking up
And the wind blows through your long hair
Until your tears are dry enough

Every time we say goodbye
It cuts me good and deep
That's why I sing this trav'ling lullabye
Through the miles to go before I sleep

Floodlights on the driveway
Try to tell me that I'm home
But my heart is where you stay
It's just my shadow on the stone
I know you feel like I do
As you're lying in your bed
Dreaming that the space behind you
Is only real inside your head

'Cause every time we say goodbye
It cuts you good and deep
That's why you sing this trav'ling lullabye
Through the miles to go before you sleep

Goodnight, my angel,
May the morning greet you warm
Goodnight, my angel,
May you find some shelter from this storm
Goodnight, my angel,
Goodnight, my angel
Goodnight

Sunday morning phone calls
It's so good to hear your voice
Whether talkin' life or football
I'd never go if I had a choice

'Cause every time we say goodbye
It cuts us good and deep
That's why we sing this trav'ling lullabye
Through the miles to go before we sleep

Bright lights line the runway
I could swear I see your car
I'll be the first one off this jetplane
Running where you are
I'll put this space behind me
With our old familiar lullabye
'Cause the last time will be
The last time we say goodbye

Goodnight, my angel,
May the morning greet you warm
Goodnight, my angel,
May you find some shelter from this storm
Goodnight, my angel,
Goodnight, my angel,
Goodnight

Every time we say hello
It warms us good and deep
As we think of all the love we'll know
Through the miles to go before we sleep

Desert Song

Did you know that it rains in the desert?
And when it rains it pours
Did you know that a rose grows in the desert?
And when I find it, it's gonna be yours

Baby, come home
Lay down by the fire
Everything's gonna be alright
Maybe not now
It might take a little while
But we can start tonight
We can start to make it right
We can start to make it right tonight
Everything's gonna be alright

It's not hard to get lost in the desert
Some folks don't get found
If you find yourself wandering 'cross the desert
Look for the yellow rose lying on the ground

There is nothing left to fight about
There is nothing left to figure out
Darling, we don't have to scream and shout
'Cause I've found the one thing
I can't do without
Is your love

Las Vegas Love Song

Another night in Vegas
With nothing much to do
Ain't no place to go
That won't remind me of you
I guess it's kind of strange
Or more like funny weird
I swore that it was you last night
Even though he had a beard

Something went wrong in the bright lights
There's nothing we can do to put it right tonight
This is a love song
For a love gone wrong
And there's nothing left to say
Or sing about it
Why sing a love song
For a love gone wrong
If there's nothing left to say?
'Cause I remember you this way

On a given night in Vegas
There's a thousand pairs of hearts
That wake up in the morning
Broken down for pieces parts
But what would you expect
From the city they call Sin?
You can hedge your bets
But the house always wins
The house always wins

When I play roulette, I always bet on black
And when I go to sleep, I always dream you'll take me back
But when I wake up each day, it's you I find I lack
That's why I spend my days carried away by good old Captain Jack

'Cause something went wrong in the bright lights
There's nothing we can do to put it right tonight
This is a love song
For a love gone wrong
And there's nothing left to say
Or sing about it
Why sing a love song
For a love gone wrong
If there's nothing left to say?
'Cause I remember you...

Here is your love song
Though you've done me wrong
And you just walked away
Without even saying goodbye
So I sing a love song
For our love gone wrong
When you just walked away
I was too drunk to ask you to stay
