Funny how a photograph Can lift you up Find your heart behind the barricades Hear the song inside your laugh (Of loss and love) Here we are and once again I’m joining the parade   It’s a long blue line Like an ocean tide It’s the love that no one ever knows No one ever knows It’s a long blue line And it moves through time Too late and there it goes   Holding on to stupid things (So meaningless) Feeling like a tourist in the rain Wisdom that the future brings (East to west) Passengers aboard a paper plane   It’s a long blue line Like an ocean tide It’s the love that no one ever knows No one ever knows It’s a long blue line And it moves through time Too late and there it goes   Watch the horizon The sun goes down Leaving your footprints Underground   It’s a long blue line Like an ocean tide It’s the love that no one ever knows No one ever knows It’s a long blue line And it moves through time Too late and there it goes

Peter Lorre 03:52
He’s the shape on the wall in the alley He’s a runner, a shill and a lackey He’s a snitch, he’s a diplomat A Cairo crasher, a feral cat   On the stairs looking over his shoulder On the lam from American soldiers Don’t be fooled by the courtly bow He’s gonna sell you out somehow   What’s the story, Peter Lorre What’s the news, urban blues What’s the story, Peter Lorre Hide your clues in a dead man's shoes   He’s the charming rake at the party He’s the cowardly fool on safari With a calm half-lidded look Pages ripped from an open book In a phone booth under a hard rain In a cell rolling dice with the inmates And when you pass on the midnight track Don't look back, don't look back What’s the story, Peter Lorre What’s the news, urban blues What’s the story, Peter Lorre Hide your clues in a dead man's shoes

You make me dizzy like a tilt-a-whirl You keep me hanging in the balance I'm sure that gravity was born a girl Who hasn't done a little damage But if love won't see us through Where do we go from here? If love won't see us through Where do we go from here? The past is crawling up the basement drain And soon it's swimming in the current You put your money down and say your name Is my name That's how the world keeps turning But if love won't see us through Where do we go from here? If love won't see us through Where do we go from here? When the compass spins There it is again The life you've always dreamed of We are the sum of our experience And experience is a river Flowing far, far away If love won't see us through Where do we go from here (Love is all we have) If love won't see us through Where do we go from here

Cold Comfort 04:43
If at first I felt a little change Three inches on the weather vane I decided not to worry But it didn’t go so well And it’s funny what you tell yourself   It’s a rain check it’s a runaround It’s the hand I used to hold Waving at me through a windshield Nothing here but cold cold comfort   And you tell me that you still feel love But you only feel it half as much Now I’m staring at a stranger I can hardly recognize Never seen such unfamiliar eyes   It’s a tear drop it’s a tidal wave It’s the total disbelief That you’d do me like you’re doing me Baby please don’t leave It’s a rain check it’s a runaround It’s the hand I used to hold Waving at me through a windshield Nothing there but cold cold comfort   I know a thing or two About lying I know a thing or two About crying   It’s a tear drop it’s a tidal wave It’s the total disbelief That you’d do me like you’re doing me Baby please don’t leave It’s a rain check it’s a runaround It’s the hand I used to hold Waving at me through a windshield Nothing here but cold cold comfort
