Gypsy Sister
.
Through a window on the world you sat and watched alone
While I wandered on the run, far from flesh and bone
1985, beneath an Island sky,
Falling backwards in the sand...
Given one choice, and one chance to fail and start again
While you remain, content to persevere through all the pain
The cherry orchard trees weren't enough to keep me rooted to
The lies of the land...
* Chorus
Gypsy Sister scraped the world to find what you could always see
Gypsy Sister, 20 years were just too much to hang on me
50 inches 'round your neck, but I'm still holding by a thread
Were you listening when I said,
That I don't know if I'm ever coming back...
A restless heart's no consolation for all that's left behind
While a true adventurer can know countless kingdoms in their mind
Forever sitting at the window, your face so cool
My fire just fades against the glass
*Chorus...
Bridge:
He laboured in secret all the while you wondered is he really mine?
Truth scratched against your smile and proved that pearly love was genuine,
At last! A consort truly worthy of a Gypsy Queen...
*Chorus, etc...

That's What We Do
Drying the flowers,
Counting the hours,
Clearing the scraps away,
Scarred and faded, tired and grey,
You came home today,
I've died before, and you'll lie again,
And we're just gonna say 'it's ok'...
Chorus:
Oh, 'cause that's what we do
No matter what we say
That's what we really do...
Pain we inflict,
Or joy we impose.
Like a cat against a leg.
It doesn't matter when you're gone,
When you're here, that's when I'm gonna beg!
There's evolution in disillusion,
Just move up another peg...

Closure
Do we really heal beneath the seal?
Deal with the feeling
Get over it
She's over it
*Chorus
You're supposed to know all about closure
Well if you do,
Then let me have it too.
We've crossed enough streets, hearts skipping beats
Fleeing from meeting
She's movin' on,
Keep movin'
*Chorus...
Bridge:
There are ghosts from the past I have known
Some of them haunt me
Some have the decency
To leave me alone
Leave me alone
LEAVE ME ALONE!
*Chorus, etc...
