lyrics

How can I know that the words you say are true?
They didn’t come from me, they came from you.
They are vessels of letters, sailing past, flying the
Flag of a foreign shore.
So how can I know that the words you say are true?

How can I know that the past you share is true?
I wasn’t there, it was you and only you.
When our memories fail us and tell us lies,
Is the truth behind any door?
How can I know that the past you share is true?

When I’m going slow,
Hold on to me.
When I’m letting go,
Let go of me.
I only want what never ends.
Light-hate love-weight, wait.
Wait for me!

How can I know that the love you give is true?
It didn’t come from me, it came from you.
When I know you complete me and forgive me all,
Is it wrong to ask for more?
How can I know that the love you give is true?

Even with a new sound, his core songwriting voice--“melodic and lyrical invention,” “chilling chord progressions,” “rare honesty and power"- remains. ... more
