Sweet on the Vine (Hewerdine)
It would be good to see you again
Go back to the places we both knew then
Each of us are prisoners of time
The memory stays sweet on the vine
Once in a while I hear word of you
Where you are now, things you might do
I'm never sure if the years can be kind
The memory stays sweet on the vine
Sweet on the vine
Sweet on the vine
Let the memory stay
Sweet on the vine
Sweet on the vine
Let the memory stay
Sweet on the vine
What's in our nature that makes us want more?
Long for the taste that we knew before
I couldn't say, but sometimes you find
The sweeter the fruit, the sourer the wine
Sweet on the vine
Sweet on the vine
Let the memory stay
Sweet on the vine
Sweet on the vine
Let the memory stay
Sweet on the vine
It would be good to see you again
Go back to the places we both knew then
There can be love in leaving behind
Where the memory stays
Sweet on the vine
Extras (Hewerdine)
You and me are extras
The camera never looks our way
While others float down boulevards
We drift away
You and I are extras
You'll never hear us say a word
When there is talk of life and love
We go unheard
I remember you
All the things you said you'd do
I remember you
I remember you
Others have their names in lights
Shining for posterity
Hands outside the Chinese theatre
For all to see
Oh.
Hey, yeah.
I remember you
All the things you said you'd do
I remember you
I remember you
So we are all the extras
Never meant to laugh out loud
Sometimes it's good to disappear
Into the crowd
Oh.
Hey, yeah.
Dream Baby (Hewerdine / Horn)
Dream baby, dream
You're lost between
Between the night and day
You dream your life away
Dream baby
Outside the mirror
Behind the sun
At the edge of the world
Where time has spun
Dream baby
Somewhere you're smiling
No dark, no cold
You never grow old
Dream baby, dream
Your voice so strong
I'll never hold you
Never here, never gone
Dream baby
Dream baby
A Cloud No Bigger Than Your Hand (Hewerdine)
A cloud no bigger than your hand
Will pass across the midday sun
How strange that what has given life
The one thing we can't look upon
Now I know
Now I know
The truth about myself
I'll stand and watch my shadow move
How swift the passing of the day
And what will there be left to prove
When even stars must fade away?
Now I know
Now I know
The truth about myself
Lost in the details for so long
I see much further than I used to do
And so before today is gone
Hope I can spend some time with you
Now I know
Now I know
The truth about myself
A cloud no bigger than your hand
