Sweep that ever ordinary look from off the front page
and I hoped it was a bigger world than ever thought to be
fitting into meter and to silent silhouette she did
as a game and as a way, remembering another day
Keep a heavy lid
Keep a heavy lid
held in a kind of chemical reaction
borne in the way it softened the light
dark on the street there falling down, falling down
wake another night
keep a small momento of the year and seal away we did
all the afternoon, the evening, sleep away and nothing here
Keep a heavy lid
Keep a heavy lid
chime of a chance, so tremulous a time
when rooms of the day were broken and bright
once in a word was ever forgettable
fell upon another sight
a hand on the heart was never accidental
nor was the tone of many a voice
all in a moment, terrible, terrible
never saw the other boys
Keep a heavy lid
Keep a heavy lid
Love Is Not the End
It's another kind of wrong
and not the time for holding on
heaven knows tomorrow morning
will be clear and bright
but now you're on your own
so like it didn't seem to be the other open door
give it once around the block to be sure
on and on and on
and you were on in daylight
come in to say it's all right
but never once was it the end
love is not the end
and here and now it's not the ever of before
but something anything like the anyone of the light
and love an ordinary light
on and on, and keep the fight
keep the low light in your eyes
you could almost hear the words and now the
sound of something burning in the trees
and you were on in daylight
come in to say it's all right
but never once was it the end
love is not the end of it all
and you were on in daylight
come in to say it's all right
but never once was it the end
love is not the end of it all
and you were on in daylight
come in to say it's all right
but never once was it the end
and on and on and on
and I hoped it was a bigger world than ever thought to be
