If I could ask you how to turn this thing around
How to keep from falling
Would you tell me?
Could you take me past our Division Street?
Past conscience calling
Would you take me?
I don’t want to end up haunted
By the crack in the road we missed
Sometimes you only notice when you turn and walk away
It was right there staring you in the face
On the corner where I tried to get your name
Where I tried to convince you
Just to see me
Can we go back and pretend that nothing’s changed?
Like we were always
Always the same
I don’t want to end up haunted
By the crack in the road we missed
Sometimes you only notice when you turn and walk away
It was right there staring you in the face
I don’t want to end up haunted
By the crack in the road we missed
Sometimes you only notice when you turn and walk away
It was right there staring you in the face
You were right there staring me in the face

Don’t stand in front of what you do know
Keep the past right outside your window
Let the morning rain hit your face and cool you
You don’t need drugs to keep you sane when
Youth leaves you like a neglected friend
Stare straight at the light as it penetrates you
You’re the only thing that I need
The only thing that I need
The only thing that I need
Catch your breath as you peer into outer space
In telescopes and mirrors bent as you gaze
Through a hole as black as night don’t let me lose you
Your face lit up like the Northern Lights
In the stars like the darkness they ignite
I hold you tight because I know I can’t live without you
You’re the only thing that I need
The only thing that I need
The only thing that I need
You’re the only thing that I need
The only thing that I need
The only thing that I need

The Partisan

When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender
This I could not do
I took my gun and vanished
I have changed my name so often
I've lost my wife and children
But I have many friends
And some of them are with me
An old woman gave us shelter
Kept us hidden in the garret
Then the soldiers came
She died without a whisper
There were three of us this morning
I'm the only one this evening
But I must go on
The frontiers are my prison
Oh the wind, the wind is blowing
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come
Then we'll come from the shadows
Les Allemands e'taient chez moi (The Germans were at my home)
Ils me dirent, "Signe toi" (They said, "Sign yourself")
Mais je n'ai pas peur (But I am not afraid)
J'ai repris mon arme (I have retaken my weapon)
J'ai change' cent fois de nom (I have changed names a hundred times)
J'ai perdu femme et enfants (I have lost wife and children)
Mais j'ai tant d'amis (But I have so many friends)
J'ai la France entie`re (I have all of France)
Un vieil homme dans un grenier (An old man, in an attic)
Pour la nuit nous a cache' (Hid us for the night)
Les Allemands l'ont pris (The Germans captured him)
Il est mort sans surprise (He died without surprise)
Oh the wind, the wind is blowing
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come
Then we'll come from the shadows

I see you in the spotlight
By the river dark as your hair
I dream of you with wide eyes
With a beautiful stare you cut my heart
I hear a perfect song
A perfect symphony when you talk
I don’t need an invisible god
Gods never show up but you’re always there
Your sweet comfort in the night
Bouquet of changes leaving no trace
I keep these thoughts locked inside
Inside a still frame image in my mind
I hear a perfect song
A perfect symphony when you talk
I don’t need an invisible god
Gods never show up but you’re always there
