In the Crossfire - Starsailor




I don't see myself when I look in the mirror
I see who I should be
I don't see myself when I look in your eyes
Thank God for that

I don't see myself when I look cross the river
I see where I should be
I don't see myself when I look from the sky
Thank God for that
I hear them screaming
On the radio
Its getting louder
In the crossfire
Trying to find some hope
From the ashes of their broken homes

I don't see myself when they fail to deliver
I see what I should be
I don't see myself when I look at the flag
Thank God for that

I hear them screaming
On the radio
It's getting louder
In the crossfire
Trying to find some hope

Our day will come
We'll find the sun
We'll find the fire
We'll sanctify
The love we gave
Our one desire

I hear them screaming
On the radio
Its getting louder
In the crossfire
Trying to find some hope
I hear them screaming
On the radio
Its getting louder
In the crossfire
Trying to find some hope
From the ashes of their broken homes

I don't see myself when I look in the mirror

Way To Fall - Starsailor



Son
You've got a way to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know

Son
You'd better take it all
They'll tell you what they know
But they won't show

Oh
I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Son
You've got a way to kill
They're picking on you still
But they don't know

Son
You'd better wait to shine
They'll tell you what is yours
But they'll take mine

Oh
I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Oh
There's a hole inside my boat
And I need stay afloat
For the summer
Long

Oh
I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Oh
There's a hole inside my boat
And I need stay afloat
For the summer

Son
You've got to wait to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know

Tie Up My Hands - Starsailor



Wipe the make-up from your face
Tie your hair and gently fall from grace
Until I come again
Take the disaffected life
Men who ran the company ran your life
You could have been his wife

I wanna love you but my hands are tied
I wanna stay here but I've been denied
Lets watch the clock until the morning sun does rise

Wipe the sweat from off your brow
All that you believe is here and now
You could have had more doubt

Wipe the shadow from your eyes
Rest your daughter while your mother cries
You could have let him fly

I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
I wanna stay here but I've been denied
I wanna lie here 'til we've killed this bitter doubt

I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
I wanna stay here but I've been denied
Lets watch the clock until the morning sun does rise

I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
I wanna sleep here but I've been denied
I wanna stay here 'til we've killed this bitter doubt

I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
I wanna sleep here but I've been denied
Lets watch the clock until the morning sun comes out

Born Again - Starsailor



But for the grace of God, she cries herself to sleep
Because the grace of God is something she can't keep.
Oh, it won't be long
Before their hold is broken
No, it won't be long
Until we find our home.

It's for the good of you I write sweet melodies
They'll cast the first stone when the last one's out of reach
Oh, it won't be long
Before their hold is broken
No, it won't be long
Until we've found our home.

Forget where to begin
Mother, I have not sinned
I have not sinned

But for the grace of God, she cries herself to sleep
But now the grace of God's the reason why she weeps
Oh, it won't be long
Before their hold is broken
No, it won't be long
Until we find our home.

When summer comes
Light my life
Snow will melt away
[Repeat]

I was born again, I was born again
Not into the world they put me in
She was born again, she was born again
Not into the world they put her in
[Repeat]

The hope and the spirit
I'd rather not feel it
The hope and the spirit
I'd rather not fear it

This Time - Starsailor



In that moment I was frozen out
Of a story that I knew all about
Then I called her in the evening
My depression started lifting

I won't let it kill me
This time
I won't let it kill me
This time

Up to the surface came a feeling
Left me useless
Left me reeling

I won't let it kill me
This time
I won't let it kill me
This time
When the beats run dry there's gonna be some blood
[repeat x6]

I won't let it kill me
This time
I won't let it kill me
This time

Poor Misguided Fool - Starsailor



Give me a call
When you're so sensitive
Its a long way to fall

Whenever you need a home
I will be there
Whenever you're all alone
And nobody cares

You're just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view

Whenever you reach for me
I'll be your guide
Whenever you need someone
To keep it inside

Whenever you need a home
I will be there
Whenever you're all alone
And nobody cares

You're just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view

I'll be your guide in the morning
You cover up bullet holes

(Break)

As soon as you sound like him
Give me a call
When you're so sensitive
Its a long way to fall

You're just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view

Four to the floor - Starsailor



With hand on heart your right from the start,
You taught me to take my part.
No cross to bear, no reason to care, my life was all up in air,
Four to the floor, I was sure, never seeing clear,
I could have it all, whenever you are near.

The iron hand did not understand the plight of the common man.
Four to the floor I was sure, never seeing clear,
I could have it all whenever you are near.
Four to the floor I was sure, that you would be my girl,
We'd rent a little world, have a little girl.
Four to the floor I was sure, never seeing clear,
I could have it all if only you were here.
Four to the floor I was sure that you would be my girl,
We'd rent a little world, have a little girl.
Four to the floor I was sure never seeing clear,
I could have it all whenever you are near
