Chalk 02:40
where my heart was once a rock it is softening to chalk and i draw most every day on the footpaths on my way to see you where my brain was once a machine it's a factory of dreams that i live most every day jumping 'cross clouds on my way to see you i'm not quite the same, since you came along i'm just a few shades darker and lighter dimmer and brighter i'm not quite the same since you came along and i'm sure i'll change again if you leave, my dearest friend when i used to turn away i smile at strangers that i pass every day i brighten the world on my way to see you when i used to scream and run now i try to sit down and talk the tangles through i make good use of my heart when i see you i'm not quite the same, since you came along i'm just a few shades darker and lighter dimmer and brighter - inner and outer i'm not quite the same since you came along and i'm sure i'd change again, should you leave, my dearest friend cos where my heart was once a rock it is softening to chalk.

i would follow any road you care to take i would trace your every step any move you dare to make, i'd do it all and each foot would fall for you and any turn you choose, my dear i'll walk around each bend any path you're on it's clear i'm waiting at the end but the one thing i want you to know i'm your shadow i will catch you, if you fall apart i will set you right again broken skin and bone, i'll mend but my broken heart only restarts for you you're the ocean that i drown in the apple of my eye my only, my forever, my reason why and it's so true, my love, so plain to see that if anyone's a fool for you that fool - she must be me and any turn you choose my dear...

Fool On Me 03:04
i'm not an easy man to marry he said, under his breath as if i could catch cold from his words and it's no easy curse to carry, he assured i've heard you've been around my house lurking there til i went out stealing what you didn't think - and you don't think - i'd miss well, fool on me for leaving you a key such a fool to leave the locks unchanged fool on me for ever thinking of eternity such a fool and such a waste my heart's seen better days you'd be so much better if you let it out she said, speaking slow as if i couldn't quite understand if you're not careful it could get out of hand she seems to know my every thought every fix she has worked out she's found ways to heal things i never saw as wounds well, fool on me for leaving her a key such a fool to leave that door unchained fool on me for ever asking what i should be such a fool and such a waste my heart's seen better days well, fool on me

Yes, Dexter. 03:55
dexter, darling i haven't got a lot to say i'm happy you're smiling, despite the gloom of the day i'm at the station i've been waiting for those things to fall into place with arrows and little signs that say, "yes!" but dexter, the train, it's almost here comes at dawn if it ever comes at all and i'm starting to feel older taking short breathes between long i need you, with your rakishness and your little sign that say... YES! cos i'm scared of all the machines that will crank me through their wheels i'm scared of all the choices i must make i'm scared of getting things wrong scared to write this song i'm scared of all the paths there are to take so won't you make me one of your little signs that say yes? dexter, you are a rock worn thin as glass and i am cautious as can be where once i was fearless but dexter, really - hang up when you want it's early, you're only just waking up you can't be waiting on me with my insatiable need for those little signs that say... little signs that say yes, i'm scared of all the machines that will crank me through their wheels...
