1.I Wonder Who We Are
Friday night
And I don't have a clue
Just in the Crowd
We're dreaming as we move
I wonder who we are
I wonder who we are
Tonight
And I know that's someone's following me;
My littered face on the street
The loveliest season has taken you
Write my name in the leaves
I wonder who we are
I wonder who we are
Tonight
2.Bonfires On The Heath
Kids all jumping bonfires on the heath
Kids all jumping bonfires on the heath
How am I going to get myself to sleep?
Late October sunlight in the wood
Late October sunlight in the wood
Nothing here quite moves the way it should
Laughing windows up and down the street
Laughing windows up and down the street
And the walls are closing in on me
Kids all jumping bonfires on the heath
Kids all jumping bonfires on the heath
How am I going to get myself to sleep?
3.Harvest Time
Bats from the eaves go shivering by
Scarecrows watch the verges of light
I hear a choir on the heath at night
But no one's there
It's harvest time
Look at them working though nobody's there
The rolling moon the heavy air
Carrying the sheaves of the haunted year
Through summertime
It's harvest time
It's harvest time
Bats from the eaves go shivering by
Scarecrows watch the verges of light
Everything here has a place and a time
We're only passing by
It's harvest time
4.Never Anyone But You
all summer long
there were voices in the hall
that's what she said
people hanging round
but it's just ghosts
it's just voices in your head
west wind rising
into my sleep
all night all night
it dragged my bones through the street
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
when evening comes, the fields are full of voices
she said don't be afraid of what you hear
when evening comes, the fields are full of voices
but no one's there
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
so that summer passed,
but i never was the same when I got home
there's a phantom in my breath
there's a phantom in the gaps betwene my bones
standing in my kitchen
watching the time
I heard the choirs all night
I heard the choirs all night
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
5.Jennifer & Julia
Take me down and close my eyes
My fingertips will touch your face again
Night time's gone and morning's come
And everybody's lost without a trace
With the air so clear
and the morning like cocaine
Everybody's coming home
Everybody's lost without a trace
When will I see you again baby
When will I see you again?
Jennifer and Julia
They don't know if they want to be alone
And so they go out dancing
And a fever wakes them gently in a room
When will I see you again baby
When will I see you again?

7.Tonight
The light
Reflected in your eyes
The evening was so warm
Still I am not satisfied
The moon
Shining up above
Telling me that everything
Is gonna be fine
'Cause tonight, we have no time arguing about facts
We have no time arguing about love
Time is far too precious to be wasted
On this night with you
With you
With you
With you
Even though
You're questioning my role
I am all that I can be
Tonight
Please forget
All those mistakes I made
All those steps I went wrong
All those things that you hate me for
'Cause tonight, we have no time arguing about facts
We have no time arguing about love
Time is far too precious to be wasted
On this night with you
With you
With you
With you
8.Share The Night
share the night with me
share the night on the tracks
as the baby bats fly through the porcelain cracks
through the sycamore leaves
the sycamore trees
the haunted faces in the street
now I kiss your sides
I touch your skin
you breathe me all the way back in
till my hands are wrecked
and my shirtsleeves creased
you flower through my lips and teeth
share the night
share the night with me
now baby sleep
the haunted copse, the streets, the green
now the zodiac moves
and the calendars blur
the buried always seek the earth
share the night
share the night with me
now baby sleep
the haunted copse, the streets, the green
now the zodiac moves
and the calendars blur
the buried always seek the earth
share the night
9.I Know I'll See Your Face
Let's go out and find a place that no one knows
When the eeriness comes and goes
When the loveliest season seems strange
I know I will see your face
I know I will see your face
I know I will see your face
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
I know I will see your face
I know I will see your face
I know I will see your face
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
Everybody's telling me that nothing's true
You heard God's voice in the avenue
At the end of your rope, in the shade
I know you will see my face
I know you will see my face
I know you will see my face
When you close your eyes
When you close your eyes
10.Never Saw Them Before
Three month summers
In the haunted suburbs pass
Your tea leaves in your glass
You think you're Paul Verlaine
Helen in the rhododendrons
Stole your clothes
I lost myself, I vanished in
A brief, ecstatic rain
Autumn round the corner
With its eeriness
Someone's smoking in a hatchback
Screwing on your lawn
Late that year I caught a glimpse
Inside the trees
I cannot tell you what I saw
I was somebody else
As I sing
The night is clear
The swallows fly in from nowhere
From nowhere
I never saw them before
I never saw them before
I never saw them before
11.Graven Wood
Let us, to Graven Wood, go
To walk
Through the sad green grass at last
To dream
Through the trees at the start of night
Can you now recall
The reasons why you came to stay?
Fallen
In a dream where nothing stays the same
12.Walking In The Park
I've been walking in the park
In a dying afternoon
Like the days when it would rain
And we stared from the windows of school
And I picked my way through elms
In that stillness once again
With the darkness coming down
I don't know what more I can say
