- - I'm letting go - Of the chances I had but was always gonna blow - Of the beautiful people who never said hello - Of the life I'd have lived if I knew then what I know - - Every night I sit and wait like something's gonna change - I'll remember how to really smile - The waves of time against my mind leave me deranged - Can I make this worth the while? - - Your moves are fly but I'm a fly upon your wall - Look in my eyes and make me real - Teach me to dance when all the world's at the ball - Give me something I can really feel - - I'm letting go - Of the chances I had but was always gonna blow - Of the beautiful people who never said hello - Of the life I'd have lived if I knew then what I know - Of the need to pretend that I'm living in a show - Of the notion that I'd stay the same and never grow - Of the great desperation to move against the flow - Of all the errors I knew at the moment they were made - Of the times that I left when I really should have stayed - Of the secret inside that I'm still afraid -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Track: Three Small Words -Duration: 4:04 -URLs: -- https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/three-small-words -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNDaaxkUaik -Lyrics: - Say it isn't so hard to hear the things I have to say - Say that I'm just a fool to think there's something in the way - I can always call you - I could never call you - - Say I won't have to wait for some occasion to arise - Say the words I would say to you would come as no surprise - I can never tell you - I can only show you - - One small chance - One thin line - No damn way I can conceive to say what's on my mind - I love you - Three small words - Just the dumbest thing I'm sure that you have ever heard - Each time I try to call it feels absurd - - Say the truth deep inside your soul will only set you free - Say this kind of exposure makes you just as scared as me - I can hear my own voice - Rehearsing-all-lone-voice - - Say if you saw me at my worst you would not turn away - Say there's more to look forward to than wondering what to say - Something I believe in - I'd take such relief in - - One small chance - One thin line - No damn way I can conceive to say what's on my mind - I love you - Three small words - Just the dumbest thing I'm sure that you have ever heard - For now I guess the call remains deferred -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Track: Every Time I Look Into Your Eyes -Duration: 8:58 -URLs: -- https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/every-time-i-look-into-your-eyes -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IBWJebGEak -Lyrics: - If the air gets colder - Would you care to smolder - Here between my shoulders - Underneath the skin of my disguise?

- Who do we play when we're playing our part? - Why do we keep putting on disguises - Clinging to the cheapest of surprises? - - Clothes make the man, but the man makes mistakes - How to survive in a world full of fakes? - Why do we repress our on affections - Living by the code of our rejections? - - Is it always so damn hard - To learn to be happy with who you are - To roll with the puches - Admit that our hunches - Are the only truths we know? - - Why must our praise be indulged by a score? - How can we love when we live like a whore? - Where did we acquire these convictions - Guided not by joy but our afflictions? - - Why call the gaffes when we're all making bluffs? - Who says we're made of immutable stuff? - Why do we keep burying the layers? - Couldn't we admit we're only players? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Track: Light Of Apollo -Duration: 4:11 -URLs: -- https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/light-of-apollo -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo_BSpf72xY -Lyrics: - The light of Apollo rises and falls across the sky - The cool of the evening slows your breathing to a sigh - Lost in the lake house on the beaten path - One broken camera snaps a photograph - - The pictures are gathered, gently slathered, fixed in place - The walls of the gallery, climbing, towering into space - Beckon you sweetly to forgotten sets - One million memories in a stranger's net - - Another golden hour - a needle in the sea - Another gift shop postcard - always close to me - The light of Apollo flows through all we see - - The faraway beach this tour bus reaches melts away - The thundering ocean casts erosion to the bay - No trace at all outside my shadow box - Printed and pinned up high behind the locks - - The dusk and the morning lull you, yawning, to your wrist - The light and the shadows churn as paddles through the mist - Life through a mirror might be forged of dreams - Just one more snapshot rough along the seams - - Another golden hour - a needle in the sea - Another gift shop postcard - always close to me - A friend I don't remember - a place we used to go - Someday it will heal us - someday they will show - The light of Apollo flows through all we know -- cgit 1.3.0-6-gf8a5
