In my dream you were drowning,
And I was diving down for your face
Was waiting at the bottom of the lake
And I could hear you calling
Or was that a mistake?
You were calling me awake.

But I’m floating like a lotus on the surface of the dream
And I won’t let go until I know how deep we might have gone
So I dream on and on and on.

In my dream you were dreaming that you were diving down
For my face was waiting at the bottom of the lake
For you to hear me calling
You must save me for your sake
You were calling me awake

But I’m floating like a lotus on the surface of the dream
And I won’t let go until I know how deep we might have gone
So I dream on and on and on.

I will wait all night,
Maybe you’ll need me or maybe you’ll call.
Wide awake until light,
Sometimes I think you don’t know me at all.

Here I go again, lying to myself,
Thinking we’ll work it out, thinking we’ll work it out.

I don’t know what to do,
You see, I promised someone I’d always be true,
And I thought I could wait ‘til our love straightened us out
How long could it take?

But there comes a time when holding on’s no good
Thinking we’ll work it out, thinking we’ll work it out.

Well, I don’t know how you get me to stay every time
Let me go ‘cause I know you will never be mine
You Will Never Be Mine
You Will Never Be Mine
You Will Never Be Mine.

In the town where Emily lived
She’s kept alive
Through girls singing in the shower
Hour after hour
And underneath their down comforters.

In the town where Emily lived
She’s kept alive
Through girls going to the library
Being kind of contrary
Kissing boys underneath the cellar stairs

Who’s there?
Somewhere in the night air
Emily’s there

In the town where Emily lived
She’s kept alive
Through grown women with their daughters
Wandering through the garden
Underneath the stars with Emily

Who’s there?
Somewhere in the night air
Emily’s there.

Do you see in the candlelight bath
Voyagers on a night raft
Through a room, swollen, blooming and dark
How your hands leave their mark.
While the men are at war
We will practice kissing in the garden
Children sleep, friends keep house while we play
And love one another this way
The final secret of women who will not be faithful
No matter what they say
Awkward and upright
We’re best when telling the truth
And living the lie.

Do you see in the candlelight bath
Do you see you and I?

My mother hides behind the curtain
Waiting to hear our kisses
She’s afraid of the shadows
All of the children she gave away
Come and haunt her after the night closes in
Come and haunt her after the night closes in.

Chorus:
I sing of the black swans
You move your lips
You move your hips
You read my eyes
You bleed inside
You’re speechless and cry
For Women and Other Visions.

My mother hides behind the curtain,
I think I can hear her breathing.
Shots ring out, the bed is frozen.
Nothing can stop our love.
My hair will wrap around you like the wings of a swan,
My hair will wrap around you like the wings of a swan.

Many years from now
When our love isn’t new
Will you still believe that I’m "the one"?
Maybe in our lives
We cannot know the future
But I know that all my searchin’s done

And I’ll Be There For You
I’ll take care of you
I’ll be by your side
And nothing will change my mind
Til the end of time
Just you and I always together.

Baby, in your eyes,
Inside that ocean blue,
I can see us weathering the years.
But that’s no surprise,
'Cause when I’m holding you
I forget my broken dreams and fears.

Chorus:
And I’ll Be There For You
I’ll take care of you
I’ll be by your side
And nothing will change my mind,
''Til the end of time
You know that I will always be there for you.

There’s no music sweeter than the sound of our breathing
Is this something I am dreaming?
Don’t ever let it end.

Last night I made a snowman
Made him as tall as a tree
Last night I made a snowman
'Cause I was down and lonely
So I took him to my basement
Threw out the steaks and the ham
Yes, I took him to my deep freeze
Threw out the cakes and the lamb

And I let him lie down in my deep freeze
He was my freon man.

Said I’ll be your sugar daddy
I’ll be your frosted wine
I’ll be your blue-eyed snowman
And I’ll love you all the time
I’ll take you to the cellar
Down in the cool moonlight
And while the snow is falling
I’ll dance with you all night
Then we’ll lie down in your deep freeze, baby,
''Cause I’m your freon man

It was ten years ago this evening
There was a lightening storm
Yeah, it was ten years ago this evening
And we were was trying to stay warm
But that deep freeze up and busted
And my snowman melted down.

[This song is dedicated to all the Elizabeth's: Betty, Bess, Elizabeth and Lisa]

I read it in a book,
They said there was a part in every brain
Where fear and hate reside
No place for love to hide.
I’d tell those scientists to look again
Love is the largest part.

I read it in a book,
The Greeks had fifteen different words for love,
While we have only one
For everything under the sun
One word for you can never be enough
So I ask the question

Is love a thing you learn?
Did we know it when we met?
Is love a thing you learn?
And have we learned it yet?

I read it in a book,
They said that every flower is a weed
While love is the green thumb
That makes the weed become
The queen of all the flowers in the field
Every time I loved before
The frost came in too soon
And I wanted to forget.

Julia and I were friends
Back when we could pretend
that we’d never comprehend the grown-up ways.

Now it always seemed to me
we were where we wanted to be
but we had Destiny to come.

And all our troubles were small
when measured against the cruelty in life.
We were just old enough to love,
but not old enough to know that all things have an end.
And the joy in the beginning hides sorrow in the winnings.
Still we like to try to understand the plan,
to do the best we can.
But we know our time will come to cry.

And all our troubles were small
when measured against the cruelty in life.
We were just old enough to love
but not old enough to know that all things have an end.

We love to sing a song, a song of love
When the spring comes again
Now that winter’s gone
And the days grow long
We can stay out late to celebrate
Fireflies in the sky
Mixing with the stars in your eyes
While scented roses bloom.
