1. SNOWFLAKES

I was born in a cloud...
Now I am falling
I want you to catch me
Look up and you'll see me
You know you can hear me
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you
We're over a forest
There's millions of snowflakes
We're dancing
The world is so loud. Keep falling and I'll find you
I am ice and dust. I am sky
I can see horses wading through snowdrifts
My broken hearts, my fabulous dances
My fleeting song, fleeting
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you
My broken hearts, my fabulous dance
My fleeting song
My twist and shout

I am ice and dust and light. I am sky and here
I can hear people
I think you are near me now
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you
We're over a forest
It's midnight at Christmas
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you
I think I can see you
There's your long, white neck
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you
Now I am falling
Look up and you'll see me
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you
In a moment or two
I'll be with you
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you
Be ready to catch me
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you


2. LAKE TAHOE

Cold mountain water. Don't ever swim there
Just stand on the edge and look in there
And you might see a woman down there
They say some days, up she comes, up she rises, as if out of nowhere
Wearing Victorian dress
She was calling her pet, "Snowflake! Snowflake!"
Tumbling like a cloud that has drowned in the lake
Just like a poor, porcelain doll...
Her eyes are open but no-one's home
The clock has stopped
So long she's gone
No-one's home
Her old dog is sleeping
His legs are frail now
But when he dreams
He runs...
Along long beaches and sticky fields
Through the Spooky Wood looking for her
The beds are made. The table is laid
The door is open - someone is calling: it's a woman
"Here boy, here boy! You've come home!
I've got an old bone and a biscuit and so much love
Miss me? Did you miss me?
Here's the kitchen - There's your basket
Here's the hall - That's where you wait for me
Here's the bedroom - You're not allowed in there
Here's my lap - That's where you lay your head
Here boy, oh you're a good boy
You've come home
You've come home"


3. MISTY

Roll his body
Give him eyes
Make him smile for me
Give him life

My hand is bleeding, I run back inside
I turn off the light
Switch on a starry night
My window flies open

My bedroom fills with falling snow
Should be a dream but I'm not sleepy
I see his snowy white face but I'm not afraid
He lies down beside me

So cold next to me
I can feel him melting in my hand
Melting, in my hand
He won't speak to me

His crooked mouth is full of dead leaves
Full of dead leaves, bits of twisted branches and frozen garden
crushed and stolen grasses from slumbering lawn
He is dissolving, dissolving before me and dawn will come soon

What kind of spirit is this?
Our one and only tryst
His breath all misty
And when I kiss his ice-cream lips

And his creamy skin
His snowy white arms surround me
So cold next to me
I can feel him melting in my hand

Melting, melting, in my hand
Sunday morning
I can't find him
The sheets are soaking

And on my pillow:
Dead leaves, bits of twisted branches and frozen garden
crushed and stolen grasses from slumbering lawn.
I can't find him - Misty

Oh please can you help me?
He must be somewhere
Open window closing
Oh but wait, it's still snowing

If you're out there
I'm coming out on the ledge
I'm going out on the ledge


4. WILD MAN

They call you an animal
The Kanchenjunga Demon
Wild man
Metoh, Kangmi

Lying in my tent
I can hear your cry
Echoing 'round the mountainside
You sound lonely

While crossing the Lhakpa La
Something jumped down from the rocks
In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak
We found footprints in the snow

The schoolmaster of Darjeeling said
We saw you by the Tengboche monastery
You were playing in the snow
You were banging on the doors
You climbed up on the roof
Roof of the world
You were pulling up the rhododendrons
Loping down the mountains

They want to know you
They will hunt you down
Then they will kill you
Run away, run away
Run away

While crossing the Lhakpa La
Something jumped down from the rocks
In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak
We found footprints in the snow

We found your footprints in the snow
We brushed them all away

From the Sherpas of Annapurna
To the Rinpoche of Qinghai
Shepherds from Mount Kailash to Himachal Pradesh
Found footprints in the snow

You're not a langur monkey
Nor a big brown bear
You're the wild man
They say they saw you drown
In the Rongbuk glacier

They want to hunt you down
You're not an animal
The lamas say
You're not an animal


5. SNOWED IN AT WHEELER STREET

Excuse me I'm sorry to bother you
But don't I know you?
There's just something about you
Haven't we met before?

We've been in love forever

When we got on top of the hill
We saw Rome burning
I just let you walk away
I've never forgiven myself

I saw you on the steps in Paris
You were with someone else
Couldn't you see that should have been me
I just walked on by

Then we met in '42
But we were on different sides
I hid you under my bed
But they took you away

I loved you with a London smark
As you crossed the lane
And I'd never know where you'd gonna be next
But I'd know that you'd surprise me

Come with me, I'll find some rope
I'll tie us together
I've been waiting for you so long
I don't want to lose you again

I don't want to walk into the crowd again
I don't want to walk away again

I don't want to lose you!
I don't want to lose you!
I don't want to lose you again!
There's just something about you
Have we been in love forever?

And I'd been living in New York
I took your photograph
I still have your smiling face in a heart-shaped frame

Snowed in at Wheeler street
Just two old friends
Keeping the fire going
We looked so good together

Can't we just stay there forever?
We were so happy!
I'd live that day over and over
But the world won't stop turning

When we got to the top of the hill
We saw Rome burning
I don't want to lose you
I don't want lose you again!

Don't walk away again
Don't leave me unloved again

Don't want to lose you!
I don't want to lose you!
I don't want to lose you again!!

Don't want to lose you
I don't want to lose you!
I don't want to lose you again!!

Oh no not again. No! No! Not again!
Not again! Not again!
No! No! No! No! Not again!
Not again!
Never again!

7. AMONG ANGELS

Only you can do something about it
There's no-one there, my friend, any better
I might know what you mean when you say you fall apart
Aren't we all the same? In and out of doubt
I can see angels standing around you
They shimmer like mirrors in Summer
But you don't know it

And they will carry you o'er the walls
If you need us, just call
Rest your weary world in their hands
Lay your broken laugh at their feet
I can see angels around you
They shimmer like mirrors in Summer
There's someone who's loved you forever but you don't know it
You might feel it and just not show it
