                            Every Colour You Are
                          (Words by David Sylvian)

                             I touched his hand
                              Burned like coal
                            Put pay to the devil
                          And saw the mountain fall

                              Feel like crying
                            The jokes gone to far
                        You can be anything you want
                            Every colour you are

                                 Family man
                             His patience tried
                           Put a torch to his home
                      And warmed his hands by the fire
                             The greed of desire

                             My roads uncrossed
                           White lined and tarred
                             By believing in you
                            Every colour you are

                               Rain Tree Crow
                          (Words by David Sylvian)

                               I see the world
                           With a heart that knows
                               In shadow play
                                    Rain
                                    Tree
                                    Crow

                        I put no trust in mile stones
                               Disparate hopes
                                Halfway homes

                    I share the world with one who knows
                           The light still shines
                               In shadow play
                                    Rain
                                    Tree
                                    Crow

                            Pocket Full of Change
                          (Words by David Sylvian)

                             She brings me water
                              Sweeter than wine
                             Lost in the moment
                                 Summertime

                             Counting the hours
                              Beating our time
                            Shallow as any heart
                            I could hope to find

                             Move with the water
                             Drift with the tide
                               With no regrets
                            To keep ghosts alive

                               When she smiles
                              She smiles for me
                                Life runs out
                         Like a pocketful of change
                                Time runs out
                        Like a pocket full of change

                           Here comes the morning
                               Blind and tired
                           Pulled by the undertow
                             This world of mine
                             This world is mine

                               When she cries
                              She cries for me
                                Life runs out
                         Like a pocketful of change
                                Time runs out
                        Like a pocket full of change

                                 Blackwater
                          (Words by David Sylvian)

                                I hold you in
                              A sea of silence
                         On the borderline of truth
                                Open violence
                                I see no sign
                          I see no place I've loved
                           Depending on the signs
                              To fine the road

                         Blackwater take me with you
                       To the place that I have spoken
                      Come lead me through the darkness
                    To the light that I long to see again

                               I walk with you
                            But sleep beside her
                          The summer came and went
                              It passes us over

                                I see her cry
                         I see the face I have loved
                           Depending on the blind
                              To find the road

                         Blackwater take me with you
                       To the place that I have spoken
                      Come lead me through the morning
                    For the land that I long to see again

                       Black Crow Hits Shoe Shine City
                          (Words by David Sylvian)

                The beat of his wings on the moon never tire
            As black crow descends stealing somebody else's fire
                       Suffering is no cause for pity
                     As black crow hits shoe shine city
                           God's burned his wings
                         Struck dumb for his crimes
                  A black crow descends on shoe shine city

                             Cries and Whispers
                          (Words by David Sylvian)

                      Shattered dreams on a bed of lies
                         Now my love dies and cries
                             Cries and whispers

                    My heart grew wing under desert skies
                         Now my love dies and cries
                             Cries and whispers

                      And my heart sings of many things
                            In cries and whispers
