The Evening Visits

The Apartments The Evening Visits Lyrics
1.What's The Morning For?


2.All The Birthdays

O it's madtime bedtime and full of possibilities
All the birthdays come at once
Been swamped by vaudeville?
Can't defeat your innocence
Though it's good for only little tears from Kitten
I'm slow with small talk, we used to get on famously
Now there's nothing to perfect
Got sold on big talk it just doesn't matter anymore
It's cold, you'd better come on inside

So you get restless don't it get the same for everyone?
Convinced by only one time in their lives
And been full of gifts - you have no one to give them to
When all the birthdays come at once.
Keep your distance the game's not worth the candle of confusing
vanity with power
You say I seem so distant lost all sense of consequences
But I try to keep this world alight

Vanished days only mean so much by vanishing
All the birthdays are best forgotten
So I shrug my shoulders and slip into another tongue
Knowing nothing can be perfect
Took that curse - there's nothing left could do us any harm
Spare me the rituals of sorrow

4.Speechless With Tuesday

7.Sunset Hotel

The Sunset Hotel is covered in Spanish moss
Go and hide there cause so much has changed
Are you keeping a score Can't stay clear - still a child
It's like a long holiday, it's been so quiet.
Sha la la
Been out of reach and now it's hard to come in again
...Aren't you haunted enough?
Sha la la
The roofs over their heads I just mean trouble there
They forget what they hoped whatever it was it didn't arrive
Not facing the world, the Show is Old Medicine
There it's catch catch-as-catch-can
Where waiting is better than any event
Shall I save love?
Shall I SAVE LOVE or ruin? Could I save Lover Ruined?


8.Mr. Somewhere

Day comes up sicker than a cat
Something's wrong that is that

Mr. somewhere missing somewhere
Never did figure just how much

A boat from the river takes you out
'Cross the other side of town, to get out, to get out
You take the tide, any tide, any tide
Like there isn't gonna be any tide

Mr. somewhere missing somewhere
Never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere never did figure
Just how much

A world like tomorrow wears things out
It's hard enough to get what's yours for now
And the hardest words are spoken softly
Softly look, no hands upon

Mr. somewhere missing somewhere
Never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere never did figure
Just how much

Now the milkman beats you to the door
That was once a home, home no more
Mr. somewhere, missing somewhere
Couldn't get the calendar to stop
Missing somewhere, never did figure
Just how much
Missing somewhere, never will admit just how much
