Dulcinea

Toad The Wet Sprocket Dulcinea Lyrics
1.Begin

Are you given vision
Are you second sight
Are you older than your life
Eighty days of sorrow
Endless more in sight
Still you child burn bright

And you see me crying again
And you hold out your little hand
Lead me shaking to his room
I thought i'd never see again

Close the door behind you
Turning out the light
Press a flashlight up against the wall
You say this is how we knew him, in a little egg
It opened up and this is daddy now

Now you're stepping back towards me
Til the room is bathing in light
And the answer there before me
There's no ending when we die

Are you sleeping here beside me
Are you shining bright as the sky
Are you breathing now inside me
There's no ending when we die


2.Biqut2(Stupid)

Four times he came by
I did not look
Talked about the reservoir
His thumbs were hooked
On his carpenter's belt
As he squinted in the sun
Smiled wide many times
Think i smiled back once

Chorus:
And it's frightening,
Ooh, i didn't expect that from you
It's blinding
Serious are you seriously
I am feeling really stupid now

Last time
On the fly
Work had all been done
Sanding down the ceiling
So it ends up in the rug
We were waiting in the bathroom
'til he finished up
One short 'hi' and no goodbye
She says she knew him once

Chorus
Stupid now (2x)

And it's frightening,
Ooh, i didn't expect that from you
It's blinding
Can't see a thing
I see i see
And i am feeling really stupid
I am really feeling stupid now
I am feeling really stupid now


3.Crowing

Been waiting
To find
You could've been happier
Given the time
If he'd make up his mind
You'd give yourself to anybody
Who would cross that line

Chorus:
And it was never question
He was crowing for repair
You'd give him love and affection
But you couldn't keep him there

Get over regrets
While you were sleeping with the angels
He was under the bed
And the more skin
That you shed
The more that the air in your throat will linger
When you call him your friend

Chorus

Staring at a cold little hand
Reading fault lines
Of a shell of a man
You were waiting for a word from above
Wouldn't you know it
No answer ever did come

And it was never question
You were crowing for repair
You'd give him love and affection
But you couldn't keep him there


4.Fall Down

She said 'i'm fine, i'm okay' cover up your trembling hands
There's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left
When the good times never stay
And the cheap thrills always seem to fade away
When will we fall
When will we fall down

Chorus:
Jump back, got to get out of here
Been too long this time
Jump back, got to get out of here
When will, when will we fall down

She hates her life, she hates her skin, she even hates all her
friends
Tries to hold on to all the reputations she can't mend
And there's some chance we could fail
But the last time someone was always there for bail
When will we fall
When will we fall down

Chorus
She said 'i'm fine, i'm okay' cover up your trembling hands
There's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left
For the last time conscience calls
For a good friend i was never there at all
When will we fall
When will we fall down

Chorus


5.Fly From Heaven

Paul is making me nervous
Paul is making me scared
Walk into this room and swaggers
Like he's god's own messenger
Changed the name of my brother
Changed the things that he said
Says he speaks to him
But he never even knew the man
But i'd give my life for him

Like water through my hands
You'd give him any ending
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from heaven
To this world again
To this world again

Take whatever you're needing
Take whatever you can
We are broken from within
Run to another land

Like water through my hands
Or is it just beginning
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from heaven
To this world again
To this world again

They took my brother
They ripped him from me
To twist his words as they did his body
Denied his family
Denied his beauty
To lie him down at the feet
Of those he couldn't save
Couldn't save, couldn't save

Will it be the end
Or is he still ascending
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from heaven
To this world again
To this world again


6.Inside

Free my heart to feel again
Free my mind to understand
To run undeterred
Pull the blinders from my eyes
Let me see the endless skies
And drown here where i stand
In the beauty of the land

Chorus:
And all my life
It lay inside
For all my life

Tear this anger from my soul
Wash me clean and leave me whole
Leave me higher
Work my hands to make them strong
Lift my arms to carry on
That anywhere i go
To never be alone

Chorus

We were always leaving
Since we started breathing
And running back no wonder
We are torn asunder

To give me life (2x)


7.Listen

Well i wonder do we learn
Seems we're making the same wrong turn
Call you sacred
Call you obscene
Call you faithless
Call you anything
Call and you listen

Chorus:
Listen
Listen
Listen

I'm a liar so it seems
My desire could justify anything
So is there nothing that lies in between
This cold silence and a scream

Scream
Chorus

Caught in the headlights
We are frozen
Can not hide
There's no break
There is no time
If you can
I might listen

Call and you listen
Chorus


8.Nanci

I can't believe you
You bend your words like uri geller's spoons
Not quite safe here
When every judgement
Seems to smack of doom

Are you ok?
I'm just fine
You take nanci
For me loretta's fine

A legal precedent
Could set us straight
But no one's brought up suit
And i'm assuming
That if they did
The point would still be moot

And are you just joking?
No i'm just fine
You take nanci
For me loretta's fine
No i've changed my mind
I'll take nanci
For you loretta's fine

And still we walk without quite seeing things
And i'll admit there's not that much to see
And i will follow through
And expect that you will follow suit

And i can't believe you
You bend your words like uri geller's spoons
Not quite safe here
When every judgement
Seems to smack of doom

And are you ok?
I'm just fine
You take nanci
For me loretta's fine
No i've changed my mind
I'll take nanci
For you loretta's fine
Loretta's fine (3x)


9.Reincarnation Song

I thought i'd be alright today
I thought i'd be alive today
Give me your eyes, i'll show you things
You never dreamed you thought you'd see

I found myself in a light i'd seen in sleep sometimes or
mescaline
And like the sun you can't stare into very long without it
blinding you

I thought this light would comfort me
I thought it would be easy
But there's a tugging at my sleeve
So much baggage i brought with me to leave

Something so big i can't understand from trying to i would go
mad
So i hurry back to little earth for another life, another birth

Another life another birth

Mother?


10.Something's Always Wrong

another day i call and never speak
And you would say nothing's changed at all
And i can't feel much hope for anything
If i won't be there to catch you when you fall

Chorus:
Again
It seems we meet
In the spaces
In between
We always say
It won't be long
But something's always wrong

Another game of putting things aside
As if we'll come back to them sometime
A brace of hope
A pride of innocence
And you would say something has gone wrong

Chorus
Chorus


11.Windmills

I spend too much time raiding windmills
We go side by side
Laughing until it's right

There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
Take the darkest hour-break it open
Water to repair what we have broken

There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
And anyway the wind blows
It's all worth waiting for

Pull on the borders to lighten the load
Tell all the passengers we're going home

I spend too much time seeking shelter
World without end couldn't hold her

There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
And anyway the wind blows
It's all worth waiting for
Anyway the wind blows


12.Woodburning

Say what you need i kick you down
No i'm fine and don't you hang around
And i find myself here in another home
Where everything moves so slow

So tired

Take the longest day
Throw it all away
I can't stand it
But i can't do anything
Every day's the same
Nothing ever change
I can't stand it
But i can't do anything

You should know by now we're all liars
Take me where you go only higher

Take the longest day
Waste it all away
I can't stand it
But i can't do anything
Everyday's the same
Nothing ever change
I can't stand it
But i can't do anything
Can't do anything

Anything you want, anything you want, anything

Take the longest day
Throw it all away
I can't stand it
But i can't do anything
Everyday's the same
Nothing ever change
I can't stand it
But i can't do anything
Can't do anything

Here in another home
Where everything moves so slow

So tired
