Clarissa 03:09
Another lonely summer; we’re talking without speaking; one quick smile to everyone you’re meeting It was so strange to watch you walk away I hope you know, each day you’re where my mind goes Help me to show how I really care for you so I felt estranged until you turned and walked my way. Clarissa, now or never our love could last forever In dreams, we danced together let’s make them real forever, now The meeting place we promised has always stayed in my dreams I long once more to see you; memories set on repeat My life won’t change until this dream has come true Clarissa, now or never Our love could last forever In dreams, we danced together Let’s make them real forever Clarissa tell me something sweet Clarissa, tell me everything you’ve been missing now She’s not addicted to me, and she’s been haunting my sleep She's not addicted to me, memories set on repeat...

Rain & Vale 01:35

Raindrops fell in my head, I read every word she said while looking out my window That night in Paisley Park That night I really could fall apart She told me then, he left a scar outside what was seen, denied a chance to even cry That night in Paisley Park That night I really could fall apart I could not say what she felt that day, she was far away I just looked on out my window...

My portrait of Elizabeth is really just a silhouette It cannot tame the beauty on her face And though I cannot visit her in Berlin or in Manchester, I swear that I could step into that frame Isn’t it strange she follows suit about the room looking back at you She with her acrylic eyes stares into me like a vessel likeness of this love of mine Late in the night, the image starts to shine, and I’m reminded of a simple time, when I was at her side A simple kind of life with my lofty piquant bride And though she's given me the slip, my portrait of Elizabeth whispers to me, hoping I will stay Isn’t it strange she follows suit how do I choose between her and you? She with her acrylic eyes stares into me like a vessel likeness of this love of mine Late in the night, the image starts to shine, and I’m reminded of a simple time...

Waves 03:14
We spent every evening out on the pier, searching for sadness, we searched all around but, oh, darling, when I kiss you, blossoms bloom for miles around you; that summer, that summer... We keep straying further from the shore, but every moment with you, I still feel the same (be)cause, oh, darling, when I hold you, blossoms bloom for miles around you; that summer, that summer... We’re never gonna love the way we used to But no one’s here to tell us that we have to change, and, oh darling, when I kiss you, blossoms bloom for miles around you; that summer, that summer...

Go to sleep and hush pretty darling, springtime’s almost here Birds and roses in the garden take us away from here Close your eyes and dream til the morning Life can wait til then Please understand you’re no burden rest, my weary friend Winter’s almost gone at last Things that make us weep have passed, and memories last and life begins to bloom
