I wouldn't miss it for the world I wouldn't ditch you for some other girl Or trade you in just for another pearl For the world, for the world... I wouldn't leave you in the lurch My darlin' I for one know how that hurts And I couldn't think of anything worse To be in the lurch, in the lurch... Well if you're worried that I won't show I'll say it now so you always know If I were you I wouldn't fret so I wouldn't wish upon a wishbone I wouldn't ever sell you short I wouldn't even get a second thought To have you waving at me from the port Sell you short, sell you short... I wouldn't dream of being late I've pitched my tent outside your front gate I drove all night to get across state For being late, being late... Well if you're worried that I won't show I'll say it now so you always know If I were you I wouldn't fret so I wouldn't wish upon a wishbone I wouldn't miss it for the world I wouldn't miss it for the world I wouldn't miss it for the world I wouldn't miss it for the world

Don't tell my girl that I danced with another... I was so high I felt her neck Warm on mine You never know where you will find another Oh my poor heart I'm begging of you Don't start Don't tell my girl that I danced with another On the first of June How can I describe -- how I fawned and I swooned We sway, we sway, we sway... On the way home in the back of the limo... That her ma had booked I noticed she looked -- right at me from the opposite seat And my heart it beat as I feigned sleep through the rain and sleet down Main Street

He said we're leaves, falling, blowing and floating around to the ground We are leaves waiting, trusting and hoping without any sound The wind our direction, soft imperfection And nobody sees our flaws 'Cause we are leaves, fumbling and tumbling through windows and doors What if I told you the fall had come at the end of a summer and our branches were letting us free? Would you just sigh, helpless and drift on away from me? He said we're leaves fallin', stretching and clawing our way through the clouds We are shade providers, and no-one can hide us away from the crowd The wind our direction, soft imperfection And nobody sees our flaws 'Cause we are leaves, fumbling and tumbling through windows and doors What if I told you the fall had come at the end of a summer and our branches were letting us free? Would you just sigh, helpless and drift on away from me?

Deep in my sleep Restlessly dreaming Saw you were hurt And I woke up screaming I think I am calm I feel I am sober And I'm so glad it's over So glad it's over So glad it's over Over for now... Leaving at dawn Eyes dark and weary Trying to accept This confusion I'm feeling But on my way home I breathe so much slower And I'm so glad it's over So glad it's over So glad it's over Over for now... ... Knock at your door Lord how I miss you Love in my gut Nervous to kiss you The wait it was long My heart it is laboured But I'm so glad it's over So glad it's over So glad it's over Over for now...

It's okay to cry Once in a while, once in a while There's no need to hide Tears behind your sweet eyes Rain falls from the sky Every once in a while, once in a while There's no need to hide Step outside, don't be shy I know you're feeling tired I can tell you're blue But if you cry and dry your eyes You'll be fine We all hide behind A disguise, a disguise Pointing at half mast to the grass On the other side Envy makes us shy Makes us sigh, makes us cry There's no need to hide Step outside, don't be shy

Smile 04:51
Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking Though there are clouds in the sky You'll get by if you just Smile through the fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you Light up your face with gladness Hide any trace of sadness Although a tear may be every so near Well that's the time you must keep on smiling Smile, what's the use in crying? You'll see that life is still worthwhile If you just ... If you're in need of kindness Let's put the past behind us I remember too all the things I said to you Well the message is clear and simple: Babe, let me see your dimples Everything will be reconciled If you just ...

Loneliness 04:37
Can't concentrate while you're fucking upstairs Well the floorboards creak and the walls are thin I might as well be lying there Hmm, and I feel it That loneliness, it's mortal Ooh and I feel it That void you left is in between my arms It's a living thing, it breathes, it smells Exactly like your charm Oh and I feel it That loneliness, it's mortal Oh and I feel it Shame that the song only lasts for an hour Well you only hear it once and the verses leave you Singing in the shower Oh and I feel it That loneliness, it's mortal Oh and I feel it I've seen it all in the sleepy abstraction Oblivious when I awake Starving for some action Oh and I feel it That loneliness, it's mortal Oh and I feel it

Fools like me don't need teeth They will swallow whole Whole They will swallow whole Devil dreams of fools like me That is what I'm told Told That is what I'm told I wish for many things That I'll never obtain I know my place in the line But I can't explain And you couldn't either If you had to be the Fool like me

Train Driver 03:30
Train driver, train driver Hold the line, hold the line Train driver, train driver Hold the line, hold the line And we'll get to heaven on time We'll get to heaving on time Don't you mind, don't you mind I know you're leavin', know you're leavin' Sure as rain, sure as rain I know you're leavin', know you're leavin' Sure as rain, sure as rain But I'm sure I'll see you again I'm sure I'll see you again And again, and again Just let me know dear, let me know dear When you're gone, when you're gone Let me know dear, let me know dear When you're gone, when you're gone So I can be moving along So I can be moving along On and on, on and on Oh provider, oh provider Lord of mine, lord of mine Oh provider, oh provider Lord of mine, lord of mine If you could just give me a sign If you could just give me a sign I'll be fine, and I won't be lonely tonight
