'Twas on the Isle of Capri that I found her Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming 'round her Where we met on the Isle of Capri She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning But somehow fate hadn't meant it for me And though he sailed with the tide in the morning Still my heart's in the Isle of Capri Summertime was nearly over Blue Italian sky above I said, "Lady, I'm a rover Can you spare a sweet word of love?" She whispered softly, "It's best not to linger" And then as I kissed her hand I could see She wore a lovely meatball on her finger 'Twas goodbye at the Villa Capri Summertime was nearly over Blue Italian sky above I said "Lady, I'm a rover Can you spare a fine word o'love?" She whispered softly "It's best not to linger" And then as I kissed her hand I could see She wore a plain golden ring on her finger 'Twas goodbye on the Isle of Capri 'Twas goodbye on the Isle of Capri 'Twas goodbye on the Isle of Capri

I've met some folks Who say that I'm a dreamer And I've no doubt There's truth in what they say But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer When all the things he loves are far away And precious things Are dreams unto an exile They take him o'er The land across the sea Especially when it happens he's an exile From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree And when the moonlight Peeps across the rooftops Of this great city Wondrous though it be I scarcly feel its wonder or laughter I'm once again back home in Inisfree I wonder o'er green hills Through dreamy valleys And find a peace No other land would know I hear the birds make music fit for angels And watch the rivers laughing As they flow And then into a humble shack I wander My dear old home And tenderly behold The folks I love Around the turf fire gathered On bended knee Their rosary is told But dreams don't last Though dreams are not forgotten And soon I'm back To stern reality But though they pave The footways here with gold dust I still would choose My Isle of Inisfree

Oh! Oh! I'm waiting for my moment to come I'm waiting for the movie to begin I'm waiting for a revelation I'm waiting for someone to count me in 'Cause now I only see my dreams In everything I touch Feel their cold hands on Everything that I love Cold like some Magnificent skyline Out of my reach But always in my eyeline now We're tumbling down We're spiralling Tied up to the ground We're spiralling I fashioned you from jewels and stone I made you in the image of myself I gave you everything you wanted So you would never know anything else But everytime I reach for you You slip through my fingers Into cold sunlight Laughing at the things that I had planned The map of my world gets Smaller as I sit here Pulling at the loose threads now We're tumbling down We're spiralling Tied up to the ground We're spiralling When we fall in love We're just falling In love with ourselves We're spiralling Did you wanna be a winner? Did you wanna be an icon? Did you wanna be famous? Did you wanna be the president? Did you wanna start a war? Did you wanna have a family? Did you wanna be in love? Did you wanna be in love? I never saw the light I never saw the light I waited up all night But I never saw the light When we fall in love We're just falling In love with ourselves We're spiralling We're tumbling down We're spiralling Tied up to the ground We're spiralling Oh!

High on the bell tower I took my view Over the downtowns On the avenues Where the streets are wide And the people thrive And it's further to fall down 'Cause you fly so high I've never seen such beauty I've never seen such clear skies I've never seen such high hopes I've never seen such tired eyes And I wish that I could be Everything you are Everything you are Down in the delta The city wakes Turns on the TV As the levee breaks Where the streets are burned By the summer sun And there's nowhere to run to When your time has come I've never seen such beauty I've never seen such clear skies I've never seen such high hopes I've never seen such tired eyes Pulled the roots up piece by piece Felt life washing over me Took my pills and I went to sleep Oh, I sang myself to sleep And I wish that I could be Everything you are Everything you are And I wish that I could see The world the way you do As selfishly as you Yeah, and I wish that I could be Everything you are Everything you are And I wish that I could stick My faith the way you do As certainly as you Clear skies gonna fall on you Clear skies gonna fall on you Clear skies gonna fall on you On you On you Clear skies gonna fall on you Clear skies...

Well, you were happy where you were But that girl, she reeled you in This town was never good enough 'Cause she was gonna see everything And if you ever spoke of love She just smiled and put you down 'Cause she was making other plans She had a vision of light and sound She said, "The neon on the river will light my way And everything that we've been dreaming of we'll make it real one day So, save your money, pack your bag We'd better run before we disappear" She took the train into the city, but you're still here You hear a song that takes you back To some long forgotten night And friends who said they had your back But they just turned and ran and let you fight And on the bowling alley wall You used all your smartest lines But they've been painted over now Looks like you're gonna get left behind She said, 'The neon on the river will light my way And all the things that we've been dreaming of we'll make them real one day So, save your money, pack your bag I wanna run with you on Stamford Hill" She took the train into the city, but you stood still You stood still above the track You knew as you watched her go That she was never coming back You stopped at places that you know You said "You were you scared of heights And that you didn't want to go" Where everyone else goes She said, "The neon on the river will light my way And everything that we've been dreaming of we'll make it real one day So, save your money, pack your bag We'd better run before we disappear" She took the train into the city, but you're still here She took the train into the city, but you're still here
