Lyrics :


1. Friend of a Friend (4.35)
Friend of a friend, it's possible you know her. Is trying to find a better view. White knuckle ride she carries on her shoulder is not the view that she would choose. If I feel for you, would you feel for me and if I cried for you, would you stay with me? Friend of a friend, may appear a little foolish. Trying to catch the one thing that runs away from her. You can tell her again until you're blue in the face, the only voice she'll hear is hers. If I feel for you...... Put away your pocket soldiers, put away your battle scars, put away your expectations and seal them. Put away your burning bridges, put your make up out of sight, put away those handsome faces that haunt you. Friend of a friend, been to many different places, that all turn out to be the same. Just open your eyes, there's a twist in the tail you're chasing. It could be time to change your game. If I feel for you...... Put away your pocket soldiers......

2. In The Afternoon (3.53)
Sitting of a morning, thinking of an evening with you. Hoping that I'll see clear in the afternoon. Should I try and arrange it, should I try to manipulate the day, should I try to see you in the afternoon? I don't know where to go from here. My momma told me, don't interfere! What's meant for you, won't pass by. Just keep still until the leaves fly. Not sure if I can stay still. There's too much time to kill just waiting here. I may have to make a move in the afternoon. Imagining the feeling, imagining the touch of you, imagination running wild in the afternoon. I don't know where to go...... Should I wait for leaves to fly, and lead me through the sky? I'll dance amongst their flow, where will they go, will they take me back to you? How will I know, how will it show, will it be clear in the afternoon. When will I see, when will I see the leaves flying for me in the afternoon. Should I wait for leaves...... Imagining the feeling, imagining the touch of you, imagination running wild in the afternoon.

3. Modern Love (4.15)
I will write a thousand words, send the ones that best describe my love for you. I will stare at screens of blue, spinning daydreams wrapped in thoughts of holding you. Journey on a cyber trail, send me all your love by email, and hurry home. Many miles lie between. Colour oceans set the scene of long distance. Virtual touch, html, words of love defined in bold so you hear them. Journey on a cyber trail...... Modern love, modern loving.

4. Field Of Poppies (4.39)
Gonna lay me down in a field of poppies and make believe they came from you. Gonna turn my face to where the sun is and generate the warmth of you. Imagination intoxicating me. This fascination to change reality to another place, another time, another feeling. Gonna breath the air in this field of poppies that glow passionately red for you. Gonna trace your skin with stems of grasses, anticipate the touch of you. Imagination intoxicating...... Out of my mind, I wanna spend some time with you. Out of my mind, won't you show me exactly what I got to do to get out of my mind, I wanna get out, I wanna get out, I wanna get out of this feeling. Out of my mind, and spend a little time with you. Gonna take my time in this field of poppies and linger on the thought of you. Gonna taste your lips, imaginary kisses, celebrate my love for you. Imagination intoxicating...... Out of my mind......

5. And The Rain (4.19)
I need you like I breathe the air, like I need the sun that I shade. And the rain, oh the gentle rain, makes me smile again when you're there. When I feel uncertain I imagine closing the curtain on what would have been, and a cold wind blows between us. That's the kind of feeling I will never welcome through my door, cos one thing's for sure. I need you......Feeling, what's this feeling, I have never felt this way before. Stronger, I feel stronger. I have never felt this way until I found you. I need you....

6. Can I Believe (5.06)
Many reasons why I sit alone and cry bitter tears of frustration. It's not taken long what is going wrong with my current situation. Cos I know what I think but don't know how you feel. Know what I know may just not be for real. All my perceptions that I've held so long, can I believe, can I believe? White lie everyday seems the easy way to keep the peace and quiet. Baby can't you see deep inside of me, soon there's going to be a riot. Cos I know...... Why don't you give me just one indication. One sign is all that it takes for me to know. Silence means nothing, an empty revelation. Say what you mean and let it show. Only want respect, something we should get, but that ain't what you're giving. Confusion every day, because what you say isn't what you are really feeling. Cos I know ...... Why don't you give me......

8. In Your Eyes (4.49)
Bathe me in your light, warmth of brown eyes. Senses in the night shine with mystery. In your eyes. Breathing in a dream, invite me to a far off land. Luminescent skin so breathless to the touch. In your eyes. And when I touch you the sadness fades away. When I feel you the sun shines every day. I'm spinning around with no place to turn cos when I look in your brown eyes, I fantasize. Teasing with a smile filled with hidden promise. Whisper from your lips that taste so sweet. In your eyes. And when I touch you...... I'm looking in your brown eyes.

9. Hearing Your Tears (3.20)
I know you, but I don't recall your name. I've been thinking about the place we met. In a lonely field, in a lonely dream, I was hearing your tears from long ago. I've found you in a better way before. What's going on in your life? And secretly you hide the truth from me, but I am hearing your tears from long ago. Just like a memory that never fades away, you're all that I see, and your reflection is everywhere I turn, it's stunning. Just like a mirror on everything I do, you stand before me. And I'm a river that's running back to you. I love you with a strength I've never known, recognising the pain. Unexpectedly you do the same with me and I am hearing your tears, I'm always hearing your tears, I hope I'm hearing your tears from long ago.

11.This Time(3.40)
Not talking to you, you're not talking to me. Silence is louder then I thought it would be. Said I was selfish. I said it was you. Silence keeps me awake the whole night through. Will you be the one to fix it this time? Will you be the one to change my stubborn mind? Will you be the one to soothe my breaking heart? Quietly sleeping, while I quietly rage. Flick through the book by my bed, don't read a page. Tired of trying. Tired of first moves. How long should I give you to see what you'll do. Will you be the one...... Rather be on my own than feel lonely with you. No more sorting things out like I usually do. I'll write you a letter, I'll leave you alone. Tears on my pillow dried long ago. Will you be the one......
