Gray

i feel so helpless now

my guitar is not around
and i'm strugglin with the xylophone
to make these feelings sound
and i'm rememberin' you singin'
and bringin' you to life
it's rainin' out the window
and today it looks like night

you haven't written to me in a week
i'm wonderin' why that is
are you too nervous to be lovers
friendship's ruined with just one kiss?
i watched you very closely

i saw you look away
your eyes are either gray or blue
i'm never close enough to say

Or

but your sweatshirt says it all
with the hood over your face
i can't keep starin' at your mouth
without wonderin' how it tastes
i'm with another boy
(he's asleep, i'm wide awake)
and he tried to win my heart
but it's taken
(time...)

i know the shape of your hands
because i watch 'em when you talk
and i know the shape of your body
'cause i watch it when you walk
and i want to know it all
but i'm giving you the lead
so go on, go on and take it
don't fake it, shake it

Blue

don't second-guess your feelings
you were right from the start
and i notice she's your lover
but she's nowhere near your heart
this city is for strangers
like the sky is for the stars
but i think it's very dangerous
if we do not take what's ours

and i'm winnin' you with words
because i have no other way
i want to look into your face
without your eyes turnin' away
last night i watched you sing
because a person has to try
and i walked home in the rain
because a person can not lie

the train is so cold tonight
my fingers too numb to write
but i write to spite the cold
and moon i can see you there
you're still hanging in there
though you are so very old

and i'm just thinking about a boy
wearing wintergreen corduroy

.
you're waking me where i sleep
you're taking me where i keep on
telling myself not to go
what am i supposed to do
all by myself without you
on a train moving so slow

i'm just thinking about a boy
wearing wintergreen corduroy
.

Corduroy

on the train again

moving away from you

on the train again

i never wanted to leave

.

the sun has set in the west

the moon is doing her best

to light up the sky tonight

i look to the moon for you

maybe you're looking too

it's really a lovely sight
.

and i'm just thinking about a boy

wearing my wintergreen corduroy

.

on the train again

moving away from you

on the train again

i never intended to leave you

.
the train is so cold

would you mind if i call you sweetheart
i found your voice upon my tape
and i was listenin' to you
till i fell asleep it was getting late
and i know it's you out on the sidewalk
i was hopin' i would meet
somethin' always hits me
and it's not concrete beneath my feet
and it's not cold
it's not the heat

Autumn

autumn falling from trees
the snow is up to our knees
i let you borrow my keys
to sleep in my room

you threw away my shoe
i brought you to central park zoo
then i drew your eyes very blue
and i stuck them on the fridge

and i believe it was you
who i wanted to be walking next to
and i believe we were friends
and i believe we will be again

so you sighed and swept your broom
under the wintery moon
well i called up this afternoon
your words were

"goodbye, goodbye, goodbye"

Fallin'

and i believe it was you
who i wanted to be talking to
and i believe we were friends
and i believe we will be again

oh, if i knock on your door would you let me in?
do you know any more than i do?

keep on wonderin' about you
even if you don't want me to
the girl you once knew
is the person we are

and i believe it was you
who i wanted to be walking next to
and i believe we were friends
and i believe we will be again
