Heart of Stone Sometimes you've got to be crazy just to make it through the day doesn't matter to me no, no We're all crazy anyway I saw you on the weekend You had your party face on But it's so transparent, yes it is. You ain't fooling anyone And I saw you yesterday you turned your head and looked away chip away your heart of stone 'cause the night is cold when you're alone I know it ain't easy I get by any way I can you don't have to run away from me, no, no. Give me a chance to understand And I saw you yesterday you turned your head and looked away chip away your heart of stone 'cause the night is cold when you're alone It must be so damn lonesome when you can't be who you are pretending it doesn't matter Ain't gonna get you very far And I saw you yesterday you turned your head and looked away chip away your heart of stone 'cause the night is cold when you're alone

Makes No Sense to Me Sunlight, go away leave me alone, I can't bear to see you today I'm just drowning here in my memories Everything I thought I knew Now makes no sense to me Makes no sense to me And I got nothing But time on my hands to wallow in the darkness and the ruins of all my plans and it makes me crazy something so obvious I can't see Still I'm trying to understand But it makes no sense to me Makes no sense to me Break: And I got nothing but hands on my time and it's got me wondering How I could have been so blind and I might be crazy or maybe I'm finally free no matter how hard I try it makes no sense to me Makes no sense to me

Naked 04:12
Naked I see you nearly every night an abstract portrait lit by bedroom light From my little box just across the way with facing windows and open shades It's Friday night and we're both alone The city's calling, but we're stuck at home But you're a beacon of hope for my despair while you vacuum the floor in your underwear And there's something I hope that you will do Respectfully I ask this of you I just want to see you naked I just want to see you naked I'll do you no harm, do you know harm Just need a little help riding out the storm Show me some time, show me sometime Just a little peek, if you don't mind Let me see you naked I just want to see you naked

Azure Blue 04:59
Azure Blue I was blinded by the night and the sight of azure blue when the feeling grabbed a hold of me there was nothing I could do and the misty air grew colder while the fog danced with the ground everything I thought was lost now was found on the sweet side of the evening I will lay my body down Let the chilly night soothe my skin and spin my head around let me soak inside your goodness may this feeling never end and it's all because of you azure blue when you whisper in the silence all my troubles float away the starry night, above us sings a celestial serenade your open arms, they beckon me and pull me to your warmth to be a part of you, azure blue azure blue though time has passed, the image lasts my memories will not fade I still feel the bite of that night in ways I can't explain And if you're wondering what it's all about just remember it's for you only for you azure blue

Beverly Drive I used to go down on Beverly Drive For the easiest girl, you could ever find She was the queen of the right side of town She’d lift your spirits, when they- were down She played around with all the boys Her amusing games, her human toys They lined up every night to see her They’d make her smile, but they just couldn’t free her When you went down on Beverly Drive You could see the heartache in her eyes The tears she shed, you knew were real But nobody cared; tears weren’t part of the deal I used to see her walking around town With a hollow smile or her eyes to the ground She ran away from the pain inside her I knew some day the truth would find her Whatever happened to Beverly Drive? They said she left one cold July On lonely nights, I can hear the boys cry No more Beverly Drive No more Beverly Drive

Water Water 05:19
WATER WATER Water water everywhere But not a drop for me Everything I need is here Just beyond my reach All the faces that I see Pass me by on the sullen street A parting glance A knowing stare Deep in the water Water everywhere In my past blind despair Water water everywhere I bailed and bailed and still it flowed It got me wet, but I didn’t know Then I surrendered myself And I dove right in In the soothing pool So began my swim I found an answer to my prayers Deep in the water Water everywhere But that was then, This is now A different year Another drought I keep on searching cause I know it’s there Deep in the water Water everywhere Water water everywhere But not a drop for me Everything I need is here Just beyond my reach

Chip Away 03:47
CHIP AWAY Sometimes you have to be crazy Just to make it through the day Doesn’t matter to me, no We’re all crazy anyway Chip away your heart of stone… I saw you on the weekend You had your party face on. It’s so transparent You ain’t fooling anyone Chip away your heart of stone It must be so damn lonesome When you can’t be who you are Pretending it doesn’t matter Won’t get you very far. Chip away your heart of stone Chip away your heart of stone
